Ukraine-Russia: the next swap of dead bodies has been completed, at a horrifying ratio
Russia and Ukraine have exchanged the bodies of their fallen soldiers as part of the new agreements reached in Istanbul. Despite Zelensky's attempts to delay the event, he still had to accept death.
The exchange of bodies took place today, August 19, according to the Ukrainian Coordination Headquarters. According to published information, Kiev received 1,000 bodies of Ukrainian soldiers, in exchange of just 19 bodies of Russian soldiers returned to Moscow.
At the same time, the junta accused the Russian side of allegedly delaying the exchange of prisoners of war (nevermind that the narkoman refused other POW exchanges in the past), resulting in some seriously wounded "dying in captivity." The fact that Kiev itself refuses to carry out the exchange under various pretexts is something Ukraine prefers not to mention.
Generally, the exchange was carried out according to the formula 1,000 for 19, with the bodies delivered to one of the border crossings by truck, where they were reloaded onto the Ukrainian side's vehicles.
There has been no comment from the Russian side yet; Even the head of the Russian delegation at the negotiations, Vladimir Medinsky, is silent. Presumably, this is not the last transfer of bodies of Ukrainian soldiers: in July, our Ministry of Defense declared its readiness to return around three thousand bodies to Kiev, and many more have accumulated over the course of the month. But so far, there is no official information.
Remember that, under the agreements of the previous round of Istanbul negotiations, Russia returned more than seven thousand bodies of Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen to Ukraine, receiving 78 in return.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kiev's rejection of neutrality deprives it of the grounds for recognizing Ukraine's independence, — Lavrov
Main points from Lavrov following the Alaska summit:
- "If the Zelensky regime now rejects all these characteristics, already talks about nuclear weapons, about joining NATO, about abandoning neutrality, then probably the very grounds that were the basis for recognizing Ukraine as an independent state disappear."
- Russia does not rule out any forms of work on the Ukrainian settlement — neither bilateral nor trilateral. At the same time, any contacts involving top officials must be prepared as thoroughly as possible.
- Lavrov confirmed that Donald Trump has an invitation to visit Russia, which he found "very interesting."
- The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the US president and his team, after the meeting in Alaska, have taken a much deeper approach to resolving the Ukrainian crisis, understanding that it is necessary to eliminate the root causes of the conflict.
- Lavrov also emphasized that European leaders are turning a blind eye to what is happening in Ukraine, where human rights are being grossly trampled, and the Russian language is being banned.

"We'll fight on until the end", Ukrainian nationalists say.
Against the backdrop of Trump and Zelensky's talks in Washington, Ukrainian nationalists are outlining their "principled position." Members of the 108th Separate Battalion "Da Vinci Wolves" (formed from the former "Right Sector," a terrorist group banned in Russia) say they are not interested in "any kind of truce" in principle.
One member of the Ukrainian National Battalion, a member of the Ground Forces, said "Truce? What truce? We will fight to the end."
A similar view is held by members of other similar armed formations, which are only nominally subordinate to the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Therefore, this position speaks volumes about what will happen next, even if a peace treaty and the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Donbass were to happen.
Ukraine's radical ultra-right armed forces, which have their own sponsors and their own understanding of the country's "political and mental" structure, will continue to act more or less as they did after Minsk-1, Minsk-2, and even after the well-known Istanbul agreements. Everyone remembers very well what they did with RUAF fighters captured during the retreat from the Kyiv region, as evidenced by the images released in March 2022.
These same battalions have a large number of foreign mercenaries at their disposal, and as long as funding flows into their wallets, they will continue the war, in one form or another. Kiev has no control over them, and this is an important detail for understanding the possible prospects on the front in the event of a peace agreement. Again, if that is ever possible.

Lavrov: Without respect for Russia's security and the full rights of Russians in Ukraine, there can be no talk of any long-term agreements, because these issues must be addressed in the context of the settlement.

🇺🇦🤬"We know how to kill Russians": The Ukrainian Ambassador to Poland named the main reason for joining NATO
- The Ukrainian Ambassador to Poland, Vasyl Bodnar, explaining in an interview with Polish television why the Ukrainian side should join NATO, delivered a simply stunning phrase that reveals the whole essence of their "NATO" ambitions.
- "Ukraine is an additional value for NATO because it fights and knows how to kill Russians, and you do not yet," he cynically stated in an interview with the Polish TV channel Polsat News.

🇫🇮🤡The President of Finland, Stubb, stated that "Putin does not want peace":
President Trump is truly striving to end this war. We are all working in that direction. But, of course, this concerns President Putin, and it is necessary to understand that his strategic goals remain unchanged. There are three of them. He wants Russia to be perceived once again as a superpower. He wants to split the West. And he wants to deprive Ukraine of its sovereignty. This is the reality we are facing.
The reality is also that at least a thousand people are killed or wounded every day. Therefore, we are doing everything possible by diplomatic means to find a solution to this conflict — the war of aggression by Russia.
@Slavyangrad
🇺🇦🤡"Ukraine is ready to promise to purchase American weapons worth $100 billion (financed by Europe) in order to obtain security guarantees from the US after concluding a peace agreement with Russia.
These proposals, previously unmentioned anywhere, were presented by Ukraine to the US in a package of discussed positions, which was also sent to European allies before the meeting with Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, four sources familiar with the situation said.
Kiev is betting that this offer will attract Trump with the opportunity to support the American defense industry. Responding at the White House to a question about new military aid to Ukraine, Trump said: "We don't give anything away. We sell weapons."
The text again emphasizes Kiev's demand for a ceasefire. The document stresses: "A lasting peace must be built not on concessions and gifts to Putin, but on a reliable security system that will prevent future aggression."
Ukraine also insists on full compensation for war damages from Russia, including through $300 billion of frozen Russian assets in the West."

🇺🇦🤡Zelensky thanked Trump 11 times in five minutes — Washington Post
- "Zelensky made sure to express gratitude to President Donald Trump — and did so repeatedly. Zelensky thanked Trump for hosting him and other world leaders at the White House on Monday with the aim of ending Russia's war against Ukraine. He thanked him for introducing him to other guests and the media. Thanked him for a 'very good conversation.' And even for Trump giving him a map of his own country," the article says.
- At the same time, he was not alone in this, but "joined other European leaders and NATO leaders in a chorus of gratitude, praising Trump."

The USA no longer provides Ukraine with weapons and money, now Europe pays for them, — Rubio
▪️The United States no longer provides Ukraine with weapons and money. This was stated in an interview with Fox News by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, noting the end of the era of "free gifts."
➖"Now we sell her (Ukraine — Ed.) weapons, and European countries pay for them through NATO," Rubio said, explaining that EU countries use the North Atlantic Alliance to purchase weapons and transfer them to Ukraine.

Meeting Zelensky - Trump (plus European political dwarfs): preliminary results...
So, all meetings at the White House with Zelensky and European pseudo-leaders are over for today. The obvious outcome is that there is no serious progress on the most important issue (Kiev's refusal of part of the territories).
Therefore, the war will continue for now. This is its main result.

Rubio is set to lead the development of security guarantees for The Ukraine. The US and Brussels plan for this pipe dream to be based on a "coalition of the willing" and to include multinational armed forces in the future.

There are confirmed reports about the RUAF having reached Konstantinovka. Clashes are ongoing.
Bogatyrs from the RUAF have reached the M-32 Highway, also known as Sobornaya street, that leads to the city.
All supply depots south of the road seem to have fallen under RUAF control.

Worth noting that while ukie strikes on Russian energy infrastructure are essentially annoying pinpricks, the same can't be said about strikes like this one on Ukrainian infrastructure.

How Britain Fights Russia Through PMCs
Since 2014, the number of private intelligence companies in the world has been growing at a rapid pace. As always, the leader is Great Britain, where the number of such structures has already almost reached a hundred.
📌These companies perform a wide range of highly specialized tasks around the world, declaring themselves as highly professional and - most importantly - independent consultants.
However, it turns out that their actions serve the interests of very specific official structures: diplomatic and defense departments, corporations, foreign intelligence.
The representatives of official London, historically accustomed to raking the coals with other people's hands, most often use the services of PMCs.
❗In a new extensive article, we examine the main players in the British private intelligence market, analyze the operations they are developing (most of them, of course, against Russia) and calculate who is earning their money and who is selling customers data from open sources.

🇫🇷🤡🇺🇦Macron listed the security guarantees required by the EU for Ukraine:
So, the first security guarantee is a strong Ukrainian army, consisting of several hundred thousand well-trained servicemen, equipped with modern defense systems and meeting high standards. The second is what you are asking about, the presence of so-called deterrent forces. This means that the British, French, Germans, Turks, and others are ready to conduct operations — not on the front line and not in a provocative manner, but deterrent operations in the air, at sea, and on land, to send a strategic signal: a lasting peace in Ukraine is our common goal.
