Back to the North Stream pipeline sabotage.

Danish officials released photos of the submarine rescue ship SS-750 (kyrillic CC-750) of the russian Baltic Fleet.

The vessel operated in the area in question off the Island of Bornholm, where the detonations took place. The recon data where aquired on sept 22th 2022. The explosion took place on Sept 26th.

Its perfectly equipped for the task, with divers, midget submarine, underwater drones, sonar etc... The time frame fits as well. Its very likely that the SS-750 planted the charges, which were remote detonated four days later.

I like the "F-16's for Ukraine" mark in the top left corner.

"The "Butcher of Mariupol" General Mizintsev was removed from the position of Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia.

I hope that the person who ordered the bombing of the Drama Theater and the killing of thousands of people will be one of the first to be brought to justice in The Hague."



I googled it, posting the first article I found: https://nypost.com/2023/04/27/putin-...ilitary-purge/

Putin axes ‘Butcher of Mariupol’ Gen. Mikhail Mizintsev in military purge
April 27, 2023 4:55pm

Russian Col. Gen. Mikhail Mizintsev, whose ruthless tactics in Ukraine earned him the nickname “the Butcher of Mariupol,” was booted from his high-ranking post as part of President Vladimir Putin’s military shakeup.

Alexander Sladkov, a correspondent for the Russian state-run newspaper Izvestia, said in a post on his Telegram channel Thursday that the 60-year-old Mizintsev, whom he described as a “friend,” was ousted as deputy defense minister for logistics.

The unexplained termination came less than eight months after Mizintsev was tapped by the Kremlin to replace Gen. Dmitry Bulgakov, who has been blamed for bungling the invasion of Ukraine by failing to properly arm and feed Moscow’s troops.

Mizintsev, whom Sladkov touted as an “intellectual,” was said to be directly responsible for overseeing some of the most notorious atrocities during the first months of the war in Ukraine, including an airstrike in Mariupol that leveled a maternity hospital, killing a pregnant woman and her unborn baby.

Mizintsev also reportedly ordered the bombing of a Mariupol theater where hundreds of civilians, including many children, were sheltering during the brutal, months-long siege of the city, leaving at least 300 dead.

In late March, Mizintsev was sanctioned by the British government for his “reprehensible” actions in Mariupol.

Sladkov argued that contrary to reporting by international news outlets that have affixed the “butcher” label on Mizintsev, he “had had no direct relation to the storming of the city” of Mariupol.

Previously, Mizintsev was responsible for the siege of Aleppo in Syria, where he ordered cluster-bomb strikes on residential areas in a bloody attritional campaign that has left thousands of civilians dead.

Sladkov wrote on Telegram that he did not know why Mizintsev was axed, but he suggested that it was unlikely that the firing was due to poor job performance, considering that he’d occupied his post for less than a year.

Sladkov revealed in a follow-up post that Mizintsev will be replaced by Alexei Kuzmenkov, who serves as deputy head of Russia’s National Guard.

The Russian pro-war Telegram channel Rybar confirmed the personnel reshuffling.

It was not immediately clear what happens next to Mizintsev, who has served in the Russian military since 1980.

Mizintsev’s ouster appears to be part of a wider shake-up within Russia’s military brass.

The Izvestia correspondent reported that Col. Oleg Gorshenin was being replaced as commander of the National Defense Management Center just months after his appointment.

This latest flurry of staff changes comes a week after Putin removed Adm. Sergei Avakyants, commander of Russia’s Pacific Fleet, while he was overseeing naval exercises near Japan.

EDIT 28 April | 03:30 ET | 07:30 UTC - Added video with English subs.

In the video Mizintsev acknowledges that they executed 93 unarmed people in civilian clothes in Mariupol.

An intercepted call between a Russian soldier and a female. Intercepted by the SBU of Ukraine. The soldier admits that they interrogate Ukrainian prisoners of war for all the information they have and that they kill them afterwards. They have no use to keep him.

The soldier has been identified as Yevhenii from the Novgorod region of Russia. Born in 1995. He was mobilized in the fall of 2022. Since then, according to intelligence data, he has been with his unit at positions in the Kharkiv region.

EDIT: replaced video with one with English subtitles.

This seems like a bright idea.

"The occupiers have set up positions and installed weapons on the reactors of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, this indicates that the nuclear plant is included in the system of the Rashist defense line - the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain."



A second Patriot system is shown.
"The second division of the "Patriot" air defense system was also put on combat duty , Air Force Commander Mykola Oleschuk said."



"Putin has signed a decree regarding Ukrainians who do not want to obtain Russian citizenship. According to the decree, such people will be considered foreigners in Russia and on the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories. They can be deported from the country if they "pose a threat to its national security.""

"One of the Canadian Leopards in the service of the Armed Forces!"


"About 200 Chechens are fighting on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Ukraine, their fathers and grandfathers fought for the independence of Ichkeria from the Russian invaders, writes Politico.

They fight in three Chechen units, which consist mainly of the descendants of Chechen emigrants: Dzhokhar Dudayev's battalion, Sheikh Mansur's battalion, and the third, which cooperates with the GUR of the Ministry of Defense. Information about him is classified."

Russia has a programme to sabotage wind farms and communication cables in the North Sea, according to new allegations.

The details come from a joint investigation by public broadcasters in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.

It says Russia has a fleet of vessels disguised as fishing trawlers and research vessels in the North Sea.

They carry underwater surveillance equipment and are mapping key sites for possible sabotage.

UK officials are aware of Russian vessels moving around UK waters as part of the programme.

A Danish counter-intelligence officer says the sabotage plans are being prepared in case of a full conflict with the West while the head of Norwegian intelligence told the broadcasters the programme was considered highly important for Russia and controlled directly from Moscow.

The broadcasters say they have analysed intercepted Russian communications which indicate so-called ghost ships sailing in Nordic waters which have turned off the transmitters so as not to reveal their locations.

The report focuses on a Russian vessel called the Admiral Vladimirsky. Officially, this is an Expeditionary Oceanographic Ship, or underwater research vessel. But the report alleges that it is in fact a Russian spy ship.

The documentary uses an anonymous former UK Royal Navy expert to track the movements of the vessel in the vicinity of seven wind farms off the coast of the UK and the Netherlands on one mission.

It says the vessel slows down when it approaches areas where there are wind farms and loiters in the area. It says it sailed for a month with its transmitter turned off.

When a reporter approached the ship on a small boat, he was confronted by a masked individual carrying what appeared to be a military assault rifle.

The same ship was reportedly sighted off the Scottish coast last year. It was spotted entering the Moray Firth on 10 November and seen about 30 nautical miles east of Lossiemouth, home to the RAF's Maritime Patrol Aircraft fleet before heading slowly west.

UK officials are aware of Russian intent to conduct what is known as undersea mapping, including using boats that move around in UK waters.

If there are specific threats against the UK these would be investigated, but sources declined to say what activity might have been looked at so far.
