Sept 25

(Imperfect translation)

I predict the liberation of the strategic city of Lyman in 3 days maximum. After this, the way will be opened to take Severodonetsk and Lisichansk from the north. This operation will take about 1 month and then comes the liberation of the city of Lugansk and the entire oblast of Lugansk.

Israel has provided equipment to Ukraine via Poland to shoot down Iranian drones, where the equipment has reached, the drones can no longer fly. They are hitting Odessa now, but I am sure that soon in Odessa this equipment will appear (of course, I have many sources in Odessa) these weapons and they will not be able to bomb there either.

Yesterday Ukrainians killed the traitor deputy Zhuravko with a precise blow, who was demonstratingly participating in the Referendum and actively crying. This is the second traitor deputy of Ukrainian Rada, who was destroyed in Kherson. In 2008 it was this Zhuravko who actively supported the war against Georgia and demanded to stop aid to Georgia.

It is also interesting that according to Levada Center poll, almost half of Russians demand immediate negotiations with Ukraine. That’s nearly three times more than at the beginning of the war, meaning that the support base in Russia is catastrophically failing Putin. With the new successes of Ukrainians, this number will increase sharply. In Kharkiv, the artillery attacks were practically stopped, everything is going well.

მე ვპროგნოზირებ სტატეგიული ქალაქის ლიმანის გათავისუფლებას მაქსიმუმ 3 დღეში. ამის შემდეგ გაიხსნება პლაცდარმი სევეროდონეცკის, ხოლო ჩრდილოეთიდან ლისიჩანსკის ასაღებად. ამ ოპერაციას დასჭირდება დაახლოებით 1 თვე და შემდეგ უკვე მოდის ქალაქი ლუგანსკი და ლუგანსკის მთელი ოლქის გათავისუფლება. ისრაელმა პოლონეთის გავლით უკრაინას გადასცა აღჭურვილობა ირანული დრონების ჩამოსაგდებად, იქ, სადაც უკვე მიაღწია ამ აღჭურვილობამ ეს დრონები ვეღარ დაფრინავენ. ახლა ურტყამენ ოდესას, მაგრამ დარწმუნებული ვარ იდესაშიც მალე გაჩნდება (რა თქმა უნდა, ოდესაში მყავს ძალიან ბევრი წყარო) ეს იარაღი და იქაც ვეღარ დაბომბავენ.

გუშინ უკრაინელებმა ზუსტი დარტყმით მოკლეს დეპუტატი მოღალატე ჟურავკო, რომელიც წინა დღით დემონსტრაციულად იღებდა მონაწილეობას “რეფერენფუმში” და აქტიურად აგიტირებდა. ეს უკვე უკრაინის რადის მეორე მოღალატე დეპუტატია, რომელიც გაანადგურეს ხერსონში. 2008 წელს სწორედ ეს ჟურავკო აქტიურად უჭერდა მხარს საქართველოს წინააღმდეგ ომს და ითხოვდა საქართველოსთვის დახმარების შეწყვეტას.

საინტერესოა ასევე, რომ ლევადას ცენტრის გამოკითხვით რუსების თითქმის ნახევარი უკვრ მოითხოვს უკრაინასთან დაუყოვნებლივ მოლაპარაკებებს. ეს თითქმის სამჯერ მეტია ვიდრე ომის დასაწყისში, რაც ნიშნავს, რომ რუსეთში მხარდაჭერის ბაზა პუტინს კატასტროფულად ეშლება. უკრაინელების ახალ წარმატებებთან ერთად ეს ციფრი მკვეთრად გაიზრდება. ხარკოვში პრაქტიკულად შეწყდა არტილერიული თავდასხმები, ყველაფერი მიდის კარგად.

I have a weird relationship with this guy.
(He doesn’t know me, but I don’t know any better words).
I know he is both an asshole, mentally unstable and sometimes a complete lunatic, but at the same time he is also a genius.

I used to be a huge fan of him, until I went to Georgia. I think the Georgian cities are really showing his rise and downfall. He started off with building schools, playground and improving roads and traffic. He launched an e-government project so you can no longer bribe an official if you want a passport because you won’t physically see him. There is just a button “order passport” and that is all you can do.

I did speak to some locals and they all said he started great but then he got a God-complex and became really authoritarian and paranoid, as they remembered peaceful student protests which were violently ended by the police, because he saw Russians everywhere even if they were just locals that wanted to preserve a building or were against his mega projects.

When I was in Batumi I really saw what became of him. There was a University faculty that had a golden Ferris wheel on top (his wife confirmed it was his idea), a beautiful Italian styled city centre that was too expensive for any Georgian to live in, so it was 99% abandoned.

I think he has a great taste, but he became completely detached from the Georgian people that did not want skyscrapers and ferris wheels, but a non-corrupt and functional Georgian state.

I also met someone that knew Saakashvili in person, and he confirmed that he got crazy and thought he could bang any woman.

Still I can’t completely hate him, because the progress he made during his first years hasn’t been achieved by any country in the world I think. And I can imagine the 2008 war has given him so much stress that it ruined him mentally, as well as him luckily surviving an assassination attempt (his guard did not).

I am not sure if he still is well connected, but I have my doubts on Israel suddenly giving weapons to Ukraine. It could be, as they want to know how to destroy Iranian drones (just to see if their stuff is effective). But then it should be some weapons requiring little training, as Russia only has it since a few weeks ago.

My bet for know is that they just used Strela MANPADS or even Stingers instead of Israeli made stuff, but maybe he knows more than me.
