Russia Takes New Village Near Hub Of Pokrovsk; Drone Debris Hits Outside Ukraine’s Parliament On Saturday Russia’s defense ministry (MoD) has announced the capture of another village in Eastern Ukraine as its forces close in on the key logistics hub of Pokrovsk.  Moscow forces “have liberated the village of Kalynove” in the Donetsk region, which is about 16 miles southeast of Ukraine-held Pokrovsk. Via AFP Pokrovsk is the crossroads city of some 60,000 people seen as vital to Kiev’s defense efforts. The fears in the West are that if it falls, the whole of Donetsk will be easily taken by Russia, and so will all of the Donbass region. Ukraine authorities have already ordered an evacuation of all children and young people from the city amid the months-long Russian advance. Moscow has recently said it captured a string of villages in the area, and all of these maneuvers are seen as aiding in capturing the ultimate prize of Pokrovsk. President Putin reiterated Thursday in a talk that capturing and solidifying all of the Donbass under Russian rule remains the “primary objective” of the ‘special military operation’. But there are conflicting reports over just how fast the Russian advance is occurring. Ukraine has on Saturday said its military recaptured part of nearby Niu-York: In an interview with CNN, Oleksandr Syrskyi, the commander in chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, confirmed that Russia did not advance in Pokrovsk on Thursday. “Over the last six days the enemy hasn’t advanced a single meter in the Pokrovsk direction,” he told the outlet. So once again the competing narratives from the two warring side flatly contradict each other.

Russian contract soldier Kamil Kasimov, who fled Russia for Kazakhstan last year to avoid being sent to the war in Ukraine, has been sentenced to six years in prison in Russia, the 72.ru website quoted his friends as saying on September 3. Kasimov was charged with being absent without notice after his arrest in April despite legally residing in Kazakhstan. The IStories website says Kazakh law does not allow extradition on military charges and concludes that Kasimov was taken to Russia from Kazakhstan illegally. Kazakh rights defender Artur Alkhasov said earlier that Kasimov was held in a Russian military base in central Kazakhstan after his arrest.

The following article, Independent Journalist Tayler Hansen is Immediately Deplatformed by YouTube Following DOJ’s New Russia-gate Hoax, was first published on Big League Politics. Journalist Tayler Hansen is being deplatformed after being ensnared in the new “Russia-gate” hoax that has emerged before the 2024 presidential election. Earlier this week, the Biden DOJ issued an indictment against independent news outlet Tenet Media alleging that they were part of an evil Russian conspiracy. As a result, the Democrats (as well as their neoconservative allies infiltrating the Right) have been piling on against the reporters ensnared in this deep state hoax. Hansen, an independent journalist who regularly posts raw footage of political protests and demonstrations, is collateral damage of this Big Brother plot. “It’s interesting, it seems like the censorship czar is back out in full force. It’s election season, baby. So yeah, banned with no explanation, I wonder if they’re gonna stop here or are they just gonna take it all the way?” Hansen said in his announcement on X. Permanently banned on YouTube with no explanation… Are they going to stop with me or do they have an axe to grind with anyone that was affiliated with TENET at all? This is 100% targeted and no explanation has been given despite the DOJ Indictment explicitly stating that show… https://t.co/gS3suWeCF4 pic.twitter.com/xOvGRpTc6p — Tayler Hansen (@TaylerUSA) September 7, 2024 Meanwhile, another individual implicated in the Tenet Media scandal – beanie-wearing YouTube centrist Tim Pool – groveled to neocon Ben Shapiro in the hopes that the powers-that-be will forgive him and not take away his cash cow: 🚨🇷🇺🇺🇦 TIM POOL: RUSSIA SUCKS, PUTIN IS A DICTATOR “My view is probably aligned more with the Libertarian Party.
