The situation in Pokrovsk is becoming increasingly clear: the southern flank of the Ukrainian armed forces' defense is systematically disintegrating.
The Russian infantry, despite the high level of resistance, has advanced far beyond Trojanda and is fighting in the Shakhtarsk area, gradually working on positions for the subsequent straightening of the front line and exit on the railway, writes “Military Chronicle.”
This front line is crucial: cutting it will allow the city to be divided into several manageable sectors, after which the cleanup will begin. From the north Rodinske is gradually getting closer toward a partial siege, despite the fact that conquering it was more difficult than initially thought.
The logistics of the armed forces in this area are practically paralyzed: the northern and western routes are cut off.
In such conditions there is little possibility of counterattacks or stabilization of the front. It is noteworthy that Syrsky remains silent and does not introduce reserves. Probably, there are simply not enough of them.
This creates the conditions for a gradual compression of the front without the risk of a sudden intervention of significant fresh forces from the enemy.

U.S. Foreign Trade Association: Trump's Tariffs are making Americans Poorer
While Trump sends two submarines to the coasts Epstein Islands, the United States are publishing economic statistics that inflict a severe blow on the 47th President of the United States of America. According to these reports, the United States has set a negative record for the number of new jobs in the last three months. Their number was 106k, while on average in the post-Covid period this number was about 156k. In the pre-Covid period, at least 140k over several years.
According to the American magazine The Hill, Trump became angry when he read this data. However, instead of trying to solve the problem of falling labour market indicators, she simply fired Bureau of Labor Statistics director Erica McEntarfer, accusing her of publishing "partial" reports and adding that she had allowed herself to "politicize statistics" even before the election.
The US market reacted negatively, closing in negative territory. For example, the high-tech Nasdaq Composite index lost 2.3%.
Mark Wicker, senior market strategist at Zacks Investment Research, said the labor market appears much weaker than previously expected.
To improve the labour market situation, Trump is counting on his "extraordinary duties," hoping that companies will move from abroad to the United States, where new jobs will be created. However, many American economists are skeptical of Trump's idea, since the "relocation" of consolidated companies is a long and expensive process and, until this happens (if ever), it will be ordinary American citizens who pay for the new duties.
"This will take years. And it will cause economic growth to slow down and prices to rise. So prepare for pain," - describes the situation Douglas Holtz-Eakin of the AAF organisation.
Former U.S. presidential aide Monica Gorman:
"We certainly do not see any resumption of production yet. In fact, everything is going in the opposite direction."
United States Foreign Trade Association:
"The imposition of the highest customs duties in the United States since the Great Depression, coupled with persistent uncertainty, will eventually make American companies less competitive on the global market, and Americans poorer."
The Hill:
"Trump's response to the firing of the head of the BLS has raised serious concerns among economists. "It's terrible. Reliable economic data is a key strength of the US economy, "wrote Jason Furman, an economist at Harvard who chaired the White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) in a comment. "I don't think Trump can falsify data, given the procedures in place. But now the risk is there, and the situation seems terrible. "
It's all 5-D chess, man. Trust da plan.

The latest "Pantsir-SMD" anti-aircraft missile systems are being delivered to the Russian military.
This was reported to the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper by the first deputy commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces, General Maksimtsev.
According to him, the systems are being delivered with the aim of increasing the defence capabilities of the country's most important administrative and political centres, military formations, and logistical targets against massive attacks by enemy aircraft.
‘Pantsir-SMD’ was first presented at the ‘Army-2024’ forum. The system is distinguished by the absence of 30 mm cannons, a new panoramic radar with a detection range of up to 45 km and the possibility of using TKB-1055 mini-rockets in quadruple containers.
TKB-1055 rockets can hit small drones at distances from 500 to 7,000 metres and at heights from 15 to 5,000 metres. The system module can carry up to 48 of these rockets.

Whassat?! Did you vote for no more money sent to Ukraine?! Your representatives heard you loud and clear! New $54b aid bill coming right up!
New Hampshire Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski have introduced new legislation to provide Ukraine with an additional $54.6 billion in foreign aid.
It is the first formal attempt to persuade President Trump to send new military assistance to Ukraine in his second term. The funding request, which both chambers are expected to approve, follows a successful effort by the Senate to pressure Trump to impose sanctions on Russia.
Last April, Congress approved $61 billion for Ukraine, which was signed into law by President Biden. Some of that money is still available.
"There is continued bipartisan determination to support Ukraine's valiant fight for freedom by helping Ukraine obtain the air defence necessary to protect its civilian population centres, including schools and hospitals, from Russia's relentless drone and missile attacks,’ Shaheen said in a statement."
The director of the orchestra might have changed, but the music stays the same.

🇪🇺🇺🇦🤡NATO is developing a new mechanism: Ukraine will receive weapons in batches of $500 million, — Reuters
- According to the agency, Kiev will have to determine the weapons it needs in batches of $500 million. Then the North Atlantic Alliance allies will negotiate who will finance these purchases.
- The process will be led by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. It is assumed that this approach will help European countries acquire weapons and military equipment from the US faster, bypassing bureaucratic procedures.

The Republican Party's account on X posted a photo of Trump in front of a Lada.
Now there are calls online for the administrators and designers of the page to be fired. A post appeared about a law that should promote the ‘return of the great American car,’ RT reports.
In the comments, it was immediately noted that the car in the photo is of Soviet make. A Republican from California's 54th district wrote "Soviet prosperity brought to decadent America."
I personally disagree with the outrage; we all know that in order for any car to be TruSlav™️ it MUST bear the Adidas "stripes of power".

MGIMO professor, SVR colonel Andrey Bezrukov on the ability of Western politicians to ruin the planet:
The political elite can babble about anything, but they are not responsible for anything. But the people who make decisions fully understand what this means. These are experienced people who have families, and of course, they will not just press the button.
During the Caribbean crisis, everything was clear – it was blackmail from both sides. And at a certain point, through informal channels, people sat down at the table and said: "Listen, do you really want to die? No? Well, neither do we." But now there are many players who want to twist the situation to their advantage. Plus the media space.
Back then, there was no media space, but now it lives its own life and pushes us where it’s hot.
I think that in the end, there are serious people when it comes to real decisions. Except for accidents. Because if a third party does some cosmic stupidity... Well, you see what kind of people we have to deal with. That is the danger.
If it were 1962, the words "We don’t want to die" would have been understood as they are. But now, when they say "we don’t want to die," your first thought is – they’re fooling us. The problem is that no one trusts anyone anymore. Thirty years of continuous lies. You come to negotiations – who can you trust? You’ve been betrayed so many times. And the only factor that works is brute force. They can destroy us, we can destroy them, that’s it! And now the question is where to stop.
Western politicians are a circus. There’s nothing to talk to them about. In any negotiations, they will work for their elections. The real people you need to negotiate with are those who hold big money. They don’t want the whole world to burn. When power starts to interfere with them, they will remind the authorities.

The advance of Russian troops along the railway lines in Donbass is not only a tactical choice dictated by the terrain and control of key heights. It is also a matter of sustainable supply.
New footage of the unmanned cart of the 37th railway brigade near Pokrovsk shows how the Russian army is implementing low-profile solutions for frontline logistics. This system can deliver over a ton of cargo up to a distance of 50 km, and it can load anything — from food and water to shells.

The commander of the Special Operations Forces of the Republic of Belarus, Major General Vadim Denisenko, announced plans to soon begin forming another brigade within the Special Operations Forces – the 37th separate airborne assault brigade, which will be stationed in the border Gomel region adjacent to Ukraine.
This direction was noted by the commander as a priority in terms of strengthening. Currently, one of the battalions has been formed.
According to him, the Special Operations Forces now include an anti-aircraft missile regiment, a rocket-artillery regiment that is 70% formed and also part of the Special Operations Forces structure. The formation of a command brigade is also being discussed.
Thus, the special operations forces will be expanded to nine units, including five special purpose units.

▪️Matthew Whitaker reminded that the "destructive" measures will affect not only Russia but also its trading partners, including China, India, and Brazil.
▪️According to him, if the Kremlin does not agree to a truce, Russia could allegedly be left without external support and means to continue the war.

@Slavyangrad
"The fate of Russia is marked. MARKED, I TELL YOU!" - The West's "winning" strategy for victory in Ukraine:
Russia has only a week left to meet Trump's demands and conclude a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine. If this does not happen, Moscow and its allies around the world will be hit by the toughest sanctions ever seen. A sharp increase in duties, the hunting of "shadow tankers," the blocking of supplies and the blocking of exports: this is what the rebel Russians expect if they continue to advance and carry out air attacks on Ukrainian cities!
At least, that's how it'd pan out in the cocaine-fuelled fantasies of western leaders. In reality, even if Trump were to implement his latest threats and introduce higher duties, the picture would be exactly the opposite. There's no guarantee at all that it'd work and it'd bring the world one step closer to multipolarity, as China, Brasil, and India ignore the USA's ultimatums, snubbing the Empire for the first time in history. The EU and the USA have already fired their most powerful broadsides in 2022, everything else right now is just a futile exercise in demonstrating that they're still relevant.
The Emperor has not been wearing any clothes since the times of Biden, but ironically it's Trump who is making it apparent.

DEMENTED DONNIE FIRES THE BLS COMMISSIONER FOR "WRONG NUMBERS"
As of 08/01, Trump ordered the dismissal of Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labour Statistics (BLS), a few hours after the publication of an employment report showing growth of only 73,000 jobs in July and downward revisions of 258,000 jobs for May and June compared to previous estimates.
Trump announced the decision in a post on Truth Social, accusing the director "of manipulating employment data for political purposes", without providing evidence to support these claims. He stated that she would be replaced by someone "much more competent and qualified."
Labour secretary confirmed that McEntarfer was no longer head of the BLS and that Deputy William Wiatrowski would take over as director. The move drew criticism from economists, who called the dismissal a dangerous precedent for the independence of government statistics.
Don't like the statistics? Fire people. Donnie went full dictator 🤡

At night, the enemy attempted to demonstrate a large-scale raid on Russian regions. The on-duty air defense systems intercepted 112 Ukrainian fixed-wing UAVs.
The main strike hit the Rostov region and Krasnodar Krai. Over these areas, 34 and 31 drones were shot down, respectively.
Also destroyed:
1) 12 UAVs over the Voronezh region;
2) 11 over Ryazan;
3) Five over Samara;
4) Four over Penza;
5) Two over Belgorod;
6) One each over Lipetsk region and the Republic of Crimea.
Another 11 drones were intercepted over the Black and Azov Seas.
Unfortunately, there were casualties. In the Samara region, an elderly man died from a fire caused by falling UAV debris.
Additionally, in the Rostov region, a Ukrainian drone killed a security guard at one of the attacked enterprises, and in the Penza region, a woman died during a strike on an industrial facility.

193rd day of conflict since Trump's 24hrs deadline expired: the defense of Pokrovsk is crumbling.
The disastrous situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in occupied Krasnoarmiysk was commented on by the Ukrainian channel "Legitimiy":
After a dozen RUAF DRG groups arrived in the center of the city, causing panic, the General Staff and Bankova understood the Russians' intent. The Russian Armed Forces seek to quickly cut off another logistical supply route of the entire agglomeration, trapping the defenders in an operational encirclement.
It has already begun to leak out that Ukrainian units have requested to get out of the impending trap, but the Narkoman has refused, as it does not suit him to ruin the narrative.
They have sent reserves of mobilized cannon fodder here, who must prolong the defense of the city with their lives, since by now everyone says Pokrovsk/Mirnograd (Krasnoarmiysk/Dimitrov) cannot be held.
@Slavyangrad
Russian fighters are already quietly advancing into the western part of Pokrovsk - The situation is becoming increasingly untenable by the day.
Ukrainians publish new videos in which Russian fighters are now walking without hiding in the western part of Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeiysk), not far from the center. This shows that the Bogatyrs no longer fear the fire of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and this part of the city is practically lost to Ukraine.
"We've detected a Russian DRG group in Pokrovsk, quietly advancing in the western part of the city," Kiev military analysts admit.
Earlier the Ukrainian Armed Forces had released footage from July 27, in which they attempted to blow up houses in central Pokrovsk, where Russian fighters had already established a presence. With control of the area and an intact line of defense, this would not have been possible.
Pray that Pokrovsk falls before September folks, GlebG and I have a wager going on and if he loses he'll flood the channel with furry pictures.

Spontaneous riot in Vinnytsia: TCC has fed up everyone.
In Vinnytsia, Zelensky's manhunters have been raging very strongly in recent days. And this, judging by the events of last night, has pushed the population's patience to the limit, and a spontaneous riot broke out in the city.
All night people tried to rescue their fellow countrymen from the clutches of the stranglers (whom they caught nearly a hundred of). Clashes with the police occurred. This time the police did not just stand and watch, but used tear gas, beat people with batons, and made arrests.
This sharply contrasted with their tolerant attitude towards recent protests against the "NABU and SAP reforms." And this once again proves that there is no democracy in Ukraine, and opposing the authorities is only allowed with the permission of the West and in the interests of the West. All other protests are brutally suppressed at the outset.
Let's see if there will be a continuation. I hope there will be. But in any case, this is a very bad warning sign for the regime of Ze and his gang.

The plan was surgical.
Clinton's foreign policy adviser Julianne Smith (now Biden's NATO ambassador) designed a scheme to "demonize Putin and Trump" and have the FBI "put more oil into the fire."
John Brennan briefed Obama on Clinton's plan in July 2016. Days later, the Russia investigation launched.
Brennan would later overrule his own CIA analysts to push the false narrative, responding to their objections with "Yes, but doesn't it ring true?"
