“We will bring Ukraine to its knees”: Russia launches all-out counter-offensive – All weapons depots opened – Large movement of Belarusian forces
The developments in Ukraine are predicted to be rapid as Russian military sources said a little while ago that "In five days from today we will be able to launch a generalized counter-attack against the Ukrainian forces when the reserves reach the front line".
For his part, the head of the Belarusian KGB stated that in the next period of time he can judge the war "if everything is done correctly and as it should be". This phrase indicates that Belarus will be actively involved.
In this context, Russia is transferring large aid to Ukraine while also using Belarus' weapons depots. Minsk sends weapons day and night to Russia.
The first two videos you can see show large movements of tanks and armored personnel from the 47th Guards Armored Division. Military sources speak of 100 tanks, armored BMPs to Svatovo.
The third video shows movement of modern T-90M tanks. Russia has taken out of the warehouses what it has.

The EDs of Belarus were placed in a state of war readiness
It is worth noting that the General Assembly of Belarus issued an order for a general inspection of the Army in order to increase combat readiness
At the same time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs released videos of the exercises in Yelsk in the Homel region. The scenario of the exercise was dealing with sabotage by a terrorist group wearing yellow insignia like Ukraine.
Belarus said today that the joint military strike force of Russian and Belarusian troops is purely defensive, as Minsk accused Kyiv of preparing an attack, fueling fears of a direct intervention in the conflict in Ukraine.
"The objectives of the union of regional powers are purely defensive. And all the operations, which are being carried out at the moment, are aimed at adopting an appropriate reaction to the actions taking place near our borders" , explained Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Chrenin, according to a statement from his ministry.
He clarified that this force is expected to ensure the security of the borders of Russia and Belarus. Yesterday, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said he had agreed with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on the deployment of this joint military formation, without saying exactly where it would be deployed and what its scope would be.
He accused Ukraine and its allies Poland and Lithuania of preparing "terrorist acts" and a military "insurgency" in Belarus by training "radical" Belarusian fighters to overthrow the government. Minsk denies, however, that it is considering sending its army, which is much smaller than Moscow's, to fight in Ukraine alongside the Russians.
The most critical period between November 2022 and February 2023
The head of the state security of Belarus said that the hostilities will enter a very critical phase if the Russian Federation carries out a high-quality mobilization.
The period November 2022 – February 2023 can be a critical turning point in the special operation in Ukraine. The hostilities will enter an important phase if Russia carries out qualitative mobilization and provides the army with advanced weapons and technical equipment.
According to our estimates, there will be an inflection point between November this year and February 2023.
On October 10, the president of Belarus said that the leadership of NATO and some European countries are considering options for a possible attack on Belarus, up to a nuclear strike.
According to him, Russia and Belarus are starting to use a joint regional group of troops in connection with the worsening of the situation on the western border of Belarus.

Ukrainians are desperate for ATACMS missiles
Ukraine is asking the US to supply new types of weapons, including Atacms tactical ballistic missiles and fourth-generation F-15 and F-16 fighters.
This was reported by Foreign Policy magazine, citing a letter from Ukrainians to the US after the barrage of missile attacks.
The document shows that Ukraine is asking the administration of US President Biden to "abdicate restraint" and supply Atacms missiles capable of hitting targets at a distance of 322 kilometers.
The United States should also, as a matter of priority, supply NASAMS anti-aircraft systems to Ukraine.
In addition, they are asking Washington for MQ-1C Gray Eagle unmanned aerial vehicles and F-15 and F-16 fighter jets.
