Zvezda reports:

The whole world is searching for "Oreshnik" on the Internet

According to Google Trends data, at around 21:00 Moscow time, the popularity dynamics of the query for the name of the rocket in English was 100 points, which indicates the highest level of popularity of the query.

"Oreshnik" was especially searched for in the USA; only the query "Trump" had similar interest.

Since then, the indicator has not dropped below 49 points.

The U.N. atomic watchdog's 35-nation Board of Governors passed a resolution on Thursday again ordering Iran to urgently improve cooperation with the agency and requesting a "comprehensive" report aimed at pressuring Iran into fresh nuclear talks.

China, Russia and Burkina Faso voted against the text, diplomats in the meeting said. Nineteen countries voted in favour and 12 abstained.

Western powers hope that report, due by spring 2025, will pressure Iran into negotiations on fresh restrictions on its nuclear activities. The Resolution could also bring certain sanctions on Iran that were lifted earlier back into place.

In a joint statement with Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) stated that the decision by the IAEA Board of Governors was made under pressure from the European Troika, which includes Britain, Germany, and France, and the United States, describing this approach as "destructive."

The head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Eslami, has directed the activation of a new and advanced series of centrifuges in response to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors' resolution.

Via Correspondent Kurlaeva:

"Oreshnik" translated from the language means "acorn."

Zin Note: All of the Russians are asleep, but from what I know, Орешник is the Russian word for "Hazel" and it is the Ukrainian word for "Hazelnut."

Russia did not send advance notice to the US or other countries about the use of Oreshnik, since there are no such obligations, Dmitry Peskov told TASS.

Ukrainian publication:

With Russia reporting that it warned Washington about the launch of the Oreshnik missile on the Dnieper (and the Pentagon confirming this), the closure of the American and several other embassies in Kiev on Wednesday appears in a new light.

Although Peskov said that the Americans were warned about the launch only half an hour in advance, there are many indications that Washington had information about the expected strike by the new missile system, which the air defense might not be able to handle, even earlier. In fact, the Pentagon directly stated this, specifying that the Ukrainian authorities were also warned in advance.

This is probably the source of the publication in a number of Telegram channels associated with Bankova of rumors about the Russians preparing to launch an intercontinental missile RS-26 Rubezh (for which, as it later turned out, the Oreshnik was mistaken).

However, the panic that was created on this occasion was later attributed to the “Russian IPSO”. But, as is already clear, the primary source was real information about the preparation of the launch of a new rocket.

Now, after Putin's statement, the topic of the Oreshnik strikes has begun to live its own life. And panic is already accelerating at all levels.

For example, by deputies. One of them said that the Russians want to strike the Rada, while others spoke of a threat to strike the entire government quarter of Kiev tomorrow. And Ukrainian telegram channels are massively spreading the "news" that Russia is closing part of its airspace for a missile strike on November 22-23, citing Russian media (although Russian media do not write anything about this).

And in this situation, it is already difficult to figure out where the real intelligence data is, and where it is fake news or just panic.

Although the American embassy has not yet announced anything about suspending work tomorrow.

Brief report from the front on November 21, 2024

The enemy began withdrawing units from the "Uspenovsky pocket!" Report by Marat Khairullin with illustrations by Mikhail Popov.


(ЛБС 01.10.2024=Line of Combat Contact October 1st, 2024. ЛБС 31.10.2024=Line of Combat Contact October 31st, 2024)

In the area Lysovka-Sukhoi Yar (Ukrainian Lysivka-Sukhyi Yar), recently, active battles were more of a positional nature, but now aviation has begun to operate in this area, KABing the enemy positions.

The fighting in the area of ​​Petrovka (Ukrainian: Petrivka), Pustynka, and Yuryevka (Ukrainian: Yuriivka) does not stop. Assault actions in the direction of Pushkino (Ukrainian: Pushkine) and in the area of ​​the settlement Zarya (Ukrainian: Zorya) also continue.

In Solntsovka (Ukrainian: Sontsivka), the enemy is still holding the western part of the settlement, and in the Zarya-Solntsovka area, there is stubborn resistance.

In Berestki, our fighters are gradually advancing in residential areas, and taking this settlement will provide an opportunity to reach Starye Terny along the forest belt along the shore of the reservoir, which in turn is of great importance for the combat capability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces units both north of them and in Kurakhovo.

Meanwhile, in Kurakhovo, the Russian Armed Forces have consolidated their positions in the northern half of the eastern part of the city and are pressing towards the area of ​​the southern farms, including along the ravine. In the central part of Kurakhovo, they have established themselves in the area of ​​the grain elevator (Roysky Elevator), from where they are conducting assaults in the direction of the bus station and the central market.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has officially announced the liberation of the settlement of Dalnee, and a video of our flag being installed there is being circulated online. Northwest of Dalnee, the most important road in this area was physically cut off - highway 0510, connecting the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Kurakhovo and the "Uspenovsky pocket." The control zone around Dalnee was also expanded with an advance in the direction of the settlement of Annovka (Ukrainian: Hannivka).

All of this contributed to the enemy beginning to withdraw units from the “Uspenovsky pocket” to Konstantinopolskoye and Dachnoye.

On the western flank of the South Donetsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces advanced from Yasnaya Polyana and practically reached the settlement of Razdolnoye (Ukrainian: Rozdolne)(there are reports that they entered and consolidated their positions in the outermost houses), gradually taking under fire control the supply of the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison in Velikaya Novoselka (Ukrainian: Velyka Novosilka) from the settlement of Bogatyr. Taking Razdolnoye will subsequently make it possible to attack supply routes from the settlement of Komar, cutting off enemy forces in Velikaya Novoselka. In addition, pressure is growing on the enemy from the southeast, where Russian units have advanced further from Novodonetske.

They have no need in updating the nuclear policy, as they cannot do anything about that. They need to update their approach to global security and stop behaving like a bully.

And you know what... I was planning to sub Putin's Munich speech of 2007. But here comes this one.
I will post it [of 2007], of course, after fully subbed.
But the thing is - now, I hope everyone can see, the Ukraine was only a part of the whole puzzle we are not able to see in whole. That is why SMO had such pace as it has. That is why the Russian leadership acts they way they act. It is NOT about Ukraine, it is about international security. In his speech the President said:
I would like to emphasize once again that not Russia, but the United States have destroyed the international security system. And continuing to fight, to cling to their hegemony, they are pushing the whole world into a global conflict.

This was not about the Ukraine even initially.

Putin's full speech regarding the situation in SMO zone and first use of "Oreshnik" system.

Better listen yourselves. Or read the subtitles. Voice over translation is not suitable for this case.

In the cinemas starting from November 21.

For those who don't know Russian, explaining the joke (🤓) - name of "Die Hard" movie was translated to Russian as "Hard Nuttie" (Krepkiy Oreshek, Orekh is nut, Oreshek is diminutive from orekh).
Oreshnik is the name of new tested system is translated as nutwood. So the name is Hard Nutwood.

On November 21, Russia used the latest Russian medium-range hypersonic missile system "Oreshnik" in a non-nuclear version to strike the Dnieper , Putin said.

According to him, there are no air defense systems capable of shooting down such missiles.

He called the use of the Oreshnik a response to Western long-range strikes on the Russian Federation and to US plans to produce and deploy medium- and short-range missiles.

He stated that the Russian Federation “will warn civilians in advance in the event of the use of systems such as Oreshnik.”

Zin Note: Apologies, it turns out this wasn't really an ICBM or RS-26. Much of the earlier reports on this strike turned out to be incorrect.

Why doesn’t Russia do anything? Why is Russia so hesitant? Why is Putin so slow? Why doesn’t Russia just take all of Ukraine?

All these questions should be put in perspective.


Russia is not sitting on its hands
