A secondary threat and some of it actually smoke and mirrors, with why I say it added

Traitors from Kupyansk, Balakleya and Izyum flee en masse to Russia (video) – UNIAN
For the “sufferers” who are “running away from the reprisals of the Kyiv regime” they are looking for food, tents and heaters.
Collaborators who agreed to cooperate with the Russian occupiers in Kupyansk, Balakleya and Izyum of the Kharkov region are fleeing en masse to the Russian Federation against the backdrop of the liberation of cities.

I am going to say this for the record. These traitors will be collected by the SVR for false flag operations in order to try to motivate the people of Russia to accept a violent strategic strike on Ukraine.
Problem is, that with the short fuses in the Russian Army, there probably will not be enough time to warrant a proper false flag operation put in place

'Fully-Fledged Revolt' Against Putin Is Near, Russian Anarchists Say
BY?YEVGENY KUKLYCHEV? ON 9/10/22 AT 9:48 AM EDT
Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine in late February 2022 came as a shock not just to the world, but also to many Russians, despite the best efforts by state TV and propaganda channels to?stoke anti-Ukrainian sentiment ?in the months and years prior.
The Kremlin was quick to?clamp down on any anti-war rhetoric among the population , swiftly passing a number of laws that would introduce?weighty fines and jail terms for "discrediting" the Russian military —an umbrella term that has been applied to anything from citing Ukrainian sources to simply?stating one's opposition to war .
But while these measures were effective in silencing the critics of Putin's "Special Military Operation" initially, they did not destroy the resistance entirely.
As it became clear that the "operation" was not going to be a "three-day affair," as Putin had planned, but instead became an increasingly?costly and prolonged conflict ?with sanctions?devastating the Russian economy , pockets of resistance began to emerge around the country.
Initially what was a trickle of disparate reports of?fires , explosions or forced evacuations around the country soon turned into a?flood . By May, Russian?military bases ,?conscription centers ,?transportation hubs ?and factories (especially those?aiding the war effort ) were reported to be on fire or exploding almost on a daily basis.
Amid these developments an underground resistance to the war began to emerge, with several groups spearheading the movement by?taking credit for individual incidents of sabotage .
The most prominent and vocal among these?appeared to be the National Republican Army , an anti-war and anti-Kremlin group that vowed to "overthrow" and "destroy" Putin in its manifesto.
Though not confirmed by the group itself, sources in Russia suggested the group was?behind the death of a prominent Russian state TV journalist ?and daughter of one of Putin's closest allies, Darya Dugina. The daughter of Alexander Dugin, one of the masterminds behind the?Kremlin's "Russian World" narrative , was killed by what was reported to be a car bomb.
Though official investigation very quickly?placed the blame ?on "Ukrainian operatives," unconfirmed reports said Russian "partisans"—a clandestine group of guerrilla insurgents—was behind the bombing.
The?NRA ?in its messaging, mostly via Telegram channels, also declared its readiness to attack military facilities in Russia, and called on Russia's security forces and the military to lay down their arms and refuse to carry out criminal orders.
It was one of a number of resistance cells to emerge in the aftermath of Putin's invasion. Rospartisan was another, as was "Stop The Trains," a group sabotaging the transportation of military vehicles and personnel across the country's railway networks, and "BOAK"—a self-described anarcho-communist combat organization.
"Our political stance is spelled out in the name of the organization—we are anarcho-communists," a representative of BOAK told?Newsweek?in an email. The representative, who also runs the group's Telegram channel, spoke to?Newsweek?on the condition of anonymity citing safety concerns.
While the members of the organization have come a long way in the evolution of their views, he said they "found common ground in the anarcho-communist ideals."
"The issue of whether or not to oppose the war was not ever in question for us. When Russia launched this fratricidal war, with the purpose of strengthening the very dictatorship against which we stand, it only fueled our resistance to the regime and to this war," the representative said.
The BOAK member said that while the group had formed several years ago, it was mobilized and consolidated by Putin's invasion of the neighboring country.
He said the change came amid the "creeping realization among the people, who really want to change something in society, that there is no remaining pathway for peaceful social transformation and liberation of the country."
The representative added: "It is impossible without a radical breakdown of the current order—a revolution, to put it bluntly. And, since the political opposition field has been entirely cleansed by the state, the transition to guerrilla activity was a natural shift, because no government would allow to foment revolution in the open."
The movement takes inspiration from many similar organizations, both past and present, and not necessarily just those "ideologically compatible" with its own mission.
"In terms of our historical and ideological reference points, I would mention the?Communist Movement of Aragón , the?Free Territory of Huliaipole ?and the?Rojava Project of the Kurds . But we also draw inspiration from such organizations and groups as Germany's?Red Army Faction , the French?Action Directe , Italy's Prima Linea and the Red Brigades, and the Kurdish insurgency," he said.
Seeking to put Russia on a path to "direct grassroots democracy," BOAK is willing to entertain a wide variety of strategies and methods to achieve its goals. These range from posting "dry powder explosives" recipes and instructions on how to hide car number plates, to collecting donations for members of BOAK charged by authorities or supporting other insurgent groups.
Despite having a clear ideological stance, BOAK is also not averse to joining efforts and collaborating with other resistance cells, the representative says, even as the nature of their actions requires a high degree of secrecy and decentralization.
The BOAK member said: "In our activities, we try to combine effective organizational coordination (ensuring the activities of the groups are interconnected enough for maximum impact) with leaving plenty of room for individual and grassroots initiative.
"There's no centralization per se: we make decisions collectively, but only within the cell directly concerned or impacted by the decision. That way we also ensure that each group is protected from persecution and repressions by the state."
Years of repression and persecution left Russia's opposition movement in tatters, as most of its leaders have been?jailed ,?killed ?or fled the country. But the scorched earth policy implemented by the Kremlin against dissenters, while initially effective, is beginning to show cracks, especially amid the worsening economic outlook.

Without any centralized and coordinating body for the opposing voices to anchor in, grassroots unrest is simmering ever closer to the surface. From the?mothers of soldiers ?forcefully enlisted and taken to the Ukraine frontlines, to local politicians issuing orders to "arrest Putin for treason ," to businessmen and oligarchs?complaining about the costs of "Putin's war" —a still small but vocal opposition is taking shape.
While there are occasional reports of activists being caught and detained by the authorities, the BOAK member says the state's efforts to crack down on guerrilla insurgents are undermined by its own incompetence.
"There is a general feeling of degradation and decay of the system, precipitating from the decades of total corruption and nepotism, and this rot appears to have spread to the investigative committee, along with other parts of the security establishment.
"Their main goal nowadays amounts to beating confessions out of those who they can get their hands on. That, of course, is no reason for the insurgents to become complacent—stupid mistakes can lead you right into the hands of a stupid enemy."

Traitors from Kupyansk, Balakleya and Izyum flee en masse to Russia (video) – UNIAN
For the “sufferers” who are “running away from the reprisals of the Kyiv regime” they are looking for food, tents and heaters.
Collaborators who agreed to cooperate with the Russian occupiers in Kupyansk, Balakleya and Izyum of the Kharkov region are fleeing en masse to the Russian Federation against the backdrop of the liberation of cities.
This is reported by Russian propagandists.
The traitors flee to the borders with the Russian Federation in the occupied territory of the Kharkiv region, and also go to the “LNR” and spend the night at the so-called checkpoints. Propagandists are asking to bring heaters, food and water for traitors to Ukraine. It seems that Russia is reluctant to let them into its territory.
“These people are fleeing the reprisals of the Kyiv regime. They trusted us and they have nowhere to go yet. They need tents, heating points, Internet access points to contact their relatives, food and water, and just help and support,” wrote one of the Russian propagandists.
Recall, the occupation troops of the Russian Federation broke into Ukraine early in the morning on February 24, attacked military and civilian facilities and captured settlements, in particular, in the Kharkiv region
The army gives a worthy rebuff to the invaders and at the end of August went on a counteroffensive. On September 9, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that our soldiers had liberated more than 30 settlements in the Kharkiv region.
Yesterday it became known that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will probably liberate Kupyansk from Russian invaders within the next 72 hours.
And today, British intelligence reported that Ukrainian units are now threatening Kupyansk and its capture will be a significant blow to Russia.
According to military expert Oleg Zhdanov, the liberation of Kupyansk from the invaders is very important for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since this will completely cut off the logistics of the Izyum group of Russian troops.
Adviser to the chairman of the UVA, Natalya Popova, confirmed that the Ukrainian military had liberated Kupyansk in the Kharkiv region from Russian occupiers.

Ukrainian troops report city of Balakliya liberated from Russians
The Russian army is facing a huge military disaster on its eastern front, after Ukrainian forces mounted a surprise counterattack over the past week. Kyiv's army has captured more than 30 towns and villages and reclaimed 2,500 square kilometres of territory from the?Russians ?within a matter of a few days. The incredible speed of the advance shows no sign of slowing down, as Ukraine's commanders seek to press home their advantage.
Reports are now coming in of the strategically vital cities of Kupiansk and Izyum falling to Kyiv.
Putin and his generals have resorted to pointing the finger of blame at each another, as tensions between the Russian leader and his military high command explode.
The Telegram channel, General SVR, reported in a recent meeting called by a furious Putin, one of his generals could no longer contain his frustrations and told the Russian president where he could go.
General SVR said: "The most significant event of the meeting was a report to the President via video link from one of the Generals, who is located much closer to the front line than the other speakers.
"Already at the start of the General's report, Putin began to have doubts as to whether he was sober.
"The President asked him directly whether he had been drinking spirits, to which the General reacted somewhat boldly.
