🇮🇳Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will travel to China from August 31 to September 1 to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin, at the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, the Indian Foreign Ministry announced in a statement.
This will be the first visit by an Indian prime minister to China in more than six years.
Hmmmmm, might this have to do with Trump's tariffs having alienated India from the USA and gotten the Indian leadership to reconsider their alliances? Naaaaaah, the 5-D chess is unbeatable.

🇮🇹🇩🇪 Investigators revealed details: Ukrainian saboteur led the group that blew up the Nord Streams
- German investigators believe that Sergey Kuznetsov, a Ukrainian arrested in Italy, led the sabotage group involved in blowing up the Nord Streams. This was reported by Corriere della Sera..
- The crew consisted of civilians and military personnel, and the 15-meter vessel was rented. The group included four experienced civilian divers, including a woman hired to make the trip look like a picnic with friends, and two elite military personnel.
- They were equipped with diving gear, a portable sonar, and maps to locate the pipeline, which lies at a depth of 80 meters.
- During night dives, the divers installed at least four explosive devices weighing from 14 to 27 kg each. The explosives were made of hexogen and octogen and were fitted with timed detonators.

Notably, DPRK Special Operations Forces units arrived in the Kursk region with a large amount of their own weaponry. This was a rare opportunity for Pyongyang to test new systems in real combat conditions, something that is impossible to do within the country itself.
One such example was an anti-tank missile system of an unknown type, mistakenly referred to as the Bulsae-4.
Its effective range is estimated to be between 10 and 25 km, which is significantly greater than classic anti-tank guided missiles that operate at distances of up to several kilometres. Guidance is provided via a fibre-optic cable, with the operator manually guiding the missile to the target. This makes the system less vulnerable to electronic warfare and ensures high accuracy despite the lack of a homing system.
For Pyongyang, the use of this system was a rare opportunity to test its weapons in combat and collect feedback in a record-short amount of time.

From European pockets: NATO countries have provided 99% of the military aid volume to Ukraine, — Corriere della Sera
The article notes that as of January 1, 2025, the North Atlantic Alliance has already transferred $33 billion and plans to increase funding for the Kiev regime.
"At every opportunity, NATO reiterates that our full support for Ukraine has never changed and will not change until a just and lasting peace is achieved," said the chairman of the alliance's military committee, Giuseppe Cavo Dragone.
He also reminded that the funding of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is carried out at the expense of European allies, and the discussion about sending military contingents to Ukraine within NATO is not underway.

‼️🇷🇺💥Demolition of unauthorized structures: The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation destroyed a mobilization hub in Dobropolye
- The Russian Armed Forces carried out a series of strikes on the police department in Dobropolye. This facility was used not only for its direct purpose but also as a key mobilization hub, filtration point, as well as for housing territorial defense personnel and serving as a communication node.

On the importance of liberating Kleban-Byk and Sredneye in the DPR, war correspondent Alexander Kots writes:
Sredneye is a village in the Kramatorsk district of the former Donetsk region with a pre-war population of about 150 people. It's located on the bank of the Nitrius River, 17 kilometers west of the previously liberated Terny, 15 kilometers northwest of Krasny Liman, and 27 kilometers north of Slavyansk. The liberation of Sredneye may indicate that the "West" group is preparing a bridgehead for an offensive on these cities, while the "Center" and "South" groups are pressing Konstantinovka and Krasnoarmeysk from Dimitorv.
Kleban-Byk is a settlement in the Konstantinovsky district of the former Donetsk region with a pre-war population of about 460 people. It's located on the bank of the Kleban-Byk reservoir, 9 kilometers south of Konstantinovka. The throat of the cauldron, where a large group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been caught, runs along the Kleban-Byk — Aleksandro-Kalinovo line. This group is currently being destroyed. Additionally, Kleban-Byk is located on a hill, which allows our FPV-drone operators to hold almost all of Konstantinovka under fire control.
@Slavyangrad
Remember in 2023 when the West said this about ceasefires:
Blinken calls any ceasefire proposals in Ukraine a possible "cynical trap" that will freeze the conflict.
Washington repeatedly admitting it wants war to keep going till it fought to the last Ukrainian.
Russia is erecting a huge eavesdropping antenna near the border with Poland.
According to Western researchers, satellite images of the Kaliningrad region have revealed a mysterious structure consisting of seven symmetrical rings surrounded by a fence. Its diameter reaches 1600 meters, and it is located just 25 km from the Polish border.
Most likely, this structure is a circularly disposed antenna array (Circularly Disposed Antenna Array, CDAA), which allows localisation and interception of radio signals over thousands of kilometres, including transmissions from submarines. Several rings of different sizes with antennas are designed to operate at different frequencies across various ranges.
The last photo is an example of what a 410-meter CDAA antenna looks like near the city of Augsburg in Germany.
The placement of such a large spy antenna in the Kaliningrad region will enable the Russian Armed Forces to monitor NATO radio signals at least throughout the Baltic and Eastern Europe.

Ukrainska Pravda printed a piece last week basically gloating that the West will suffer from the drone technology developed in this war and they deserve it because they didn’t do enough to help Ukraine defeat Russia early on in the war.
And secondly, the spread of these technologies across the planet in any case is only a matter of time. The relative cheapness makes them accessible not only to aggressive dictatorships, but also to criminal groups and, of course, to terrorists. Obviously, bloody terrorist attacks using unmanned systems are a matter of the near future. This is a serious challenge for the comfortable existence of the West.
But if Western politicians and military officials are concerned about this turn of events, then they have themselves to blame, first of all. After all, it is our partners who are de facto responsible for turning Ukraine into a global school of death.”
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are striking enemy targets in Kiev.
An air raid alert has been declared in the city, and explosions are heard.
Mayor Klitschko reports that the air defence system is operational.

Blue Beard writes, about Sergei Markov - Recently listed as a Foreign Agent:
I have known Sergei Markov, who presented himself as a foreign agent, for a long time. Back when I was working as an editor at NTV.
The first thing that struck me when I met this character was his lack of personal hygiene.
For example, Sergei always carried a briefcase filled with dirty socks. Upon arriving at the studio dressing room, before the other guests, Sergei would take off his shoes in front of the channel's employees, remove his sweaty, dirty socks, and stuff them into his briefcase. Then he would take out clean ones and put them on his unwashed feet.
Next, exuding the characteristic miasma of old age, Sergei would take off his shirt and spray himself with suffocatingly strong deodorant. He would take a French shower, so to speak.
After that, in the corner of the dressing room, Sergei sat down at his laptop and gave interviews to Turkish and Arab channels before going on air. Most often, these were live broadcasts on Al Jazeera, the mouthpiece of Russophobia and supporter of all kinds of radical scum in the Middle East.
It did not occur to foreign-loving Sergei at the time that there were also people around him who spoke English quite well and understood perfectly all his pro-Turkish nonsense and the length of Sergei's tongue, stuck up Erdogan's rear end.
Thus, physical uncleanliness was confirmed by political uncleanliness.
And then, after his openly pro-Azerbaijani speeches during the war in Artsakh and his repetition of the most insane talking points of Aliyev and Erdogan, it was completely incomprehensible how this man had not yet been designated a foreign agent. Because his line of work left no doubt that Turkey and Azerbaijan were providing uninterrupted funding for all the nonsense that Sergei was broadcasting.
And very cheap nonsense at that. As Druid noted, Sergei was inexpensive in his services. He was paid not by price, but by quantity of acts. Although they were of very low quality. That's what he was called on the internet, Sergei-ikra. Black caviar is a traditional Azerbaijani business, for those who don't know. And they were his main customers.
Now there will be one less clown in the media space.
But it is worth remembering what Sergei was trampling on for money: the murder of Ambassador Karlov in Turkey, the death of Russian pilots in Syria shot down by the Turks, the death of our helicopter crew destroyed by the Azeris in 2020, the shooting of Russian peacekeepers in Artsakh during Azerbaijan's aggression in 2023, as well as the country's reputation during the incident with the plane in Chechnya.
However, the last straw was apparently his speech in Azerbaijani at a forum in occupied Shushi. And now Sergei Markov is a foreign agent.
Although he betrayed us much earlier. And he deserved this shameful status long ago.
But better late than never.

🇮🇹🤝🇫🇷 The Deputy Prime Minister of Italy called on the President of France to "go fight" in Ukraine himself
- A diplomatic scandal has erupted between France and Italy over the possible deployment of European troops to Ukraine.
- The Deputy Prime Minister of Italy, Matteo Salvini, responding to a question about the possibility of sending Italian troops to Ukraine, stated that the French President Emmanuel Macron should "go there himself" — put on a helmet and take up a rifle.
- After this statement, the Italian ambassador to France, Emanuela D’Alessandro, was summoned to the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where she was informed that Salvini's words "contradict the climate of trust and historical relations between our two countries."
@Slavyangrad
The founder of the left-wing party "Unsubmissive France," Jean-Luc Mélenchon, on the fact that the wrong European countries came to Trump after his summit with Putin:
A situation like the one we are experiencing happens rarely. You saw how the media representatives reacted when, after Trump decided to meet with Putin alone and see if they could settle everything together, they said: "Ah, here come the Europeans." And yet, what a humiliation! No one talked to them, you see. And here they are, the Europeans, sorry. As you say, there are six of them. But you cannot ignore the fact that there are 25 countries in the European Union, and if you look closely, of the six who were there, one is not part of the European Union – that is England.
So, if the Prime Minister of England is there, although he is not part of the European Union, we could name many other countries that could have been there and that are European. I mean, for example, Serbia, and many others could be mentioned. But since we have already reached six or five, let's note that Mrs. von der Leyen is not a double of the German Chancellor. They are not even the six who founded the European Union. These four countries are not even the main economic powers, since Spain was not there, which, fortunately and quite honorably, has already distanced itself from the NATO budget, distanced itself from this charade.
@Slavyangrad
The front has moved directly to Konstantinovka, and the assault on the city is already underway on the Predtechino side in the private sector.

The population of Ukraine has decreased by approximately 10 million people due to the war, — Frontliner
Key points from the material:
At the beginning of 2022, more than 40 million people lived in Ukraine. As of mid-2024, about 35.8 million, of which only 31.1 million are in the territory under control.
About 5 million people are outside the country, mostly in Europe. The largest numbers are in Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, and Spain.
In 2023, about 495 thousand deaths were recorded — one third more than in pre-war years. There are 280 deaths per 100 births.
In 2023, only about 180 thousand children were born — the lowest in modern history. Reasons include danger, economic difficulties, and uncertainty about the future.
Children under 18 make up 15%, while people aged 60+ already account for 27%.
"Mass migration, record mortality, declining birth rates, and an ageing nation pose a serious challenge to Ukraine's future."
@Slavyangrad
The Kiev regime organised small-scale weapons production at the plant in Kramatorsk, said the advisor to the head of the DPR Kimakovsky
"The Armed Forces of Ukraine militants have begun to equip defensive structures on the territory of the Novokramatorsk Machine-Building Plant. This is one of the largest machine-building enterprises in the region," he noted.
@Slavyangrad
So what exactly happened in Kramatorsk?
At the moment, it is known that Kramatorsk and the community were subjected to a combined attack with ballistic missiles, FAB bombs, and UAVs.
To begin with, the strike was clearly carried out outside the populated area, namely in the area of the settlement of Shabelkovka.
The target of the combined attack was the area where two battalion tactical groups of the 156th mechanised brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are concentrated, as well as the brigade command post and warehouses with property.
At the moment, the following results were reported (destroyed/damaged):
MLRS – 4 units;
tank – 3 units;
BRDM – up to 7 units;
BMP – up to 22 units;
AT – up to 20 units;
electronic warfare station – 4 units;
ammunition depot;
command post and shelters for personnel;
Personnel losses are being clarified, but they are quite significant.
It is not surprising that, despite the massive attack, its consequences were not particularly discussed.

Today is the Day of Military Glory of Russia!
August 23, 1943 – the day the Battle of Kursk ended, one of the largest and bloodiest battles in human history.
The Battle of Kursk, which lasted 50 days, became one of the most decisive moments in the Great Patriotic War. It demonstrated the indomitable power of the Red Army, which not only withstood the strongest enemy assault but also launched a decisive counteroffensive.
This day became a symbol of the triumph of Soviet arms, a symbol of the courage and heroism of Soviet soldiers who made an invaluable contribution to liberating the world from the fascist plague.
@Slavyangrad
A doc about the participation of DPRK troops in the liberation of the Kursk region, shown as part of the ceremony awarding soldiers and commanders of foreign operational troops of the KPA in Pyongyang.
The film features many propaganda, but no less interesting, scenes of the daily life and combat participation of North Korean servicemen.
In particular, it shows footage of loading DPRK army soldiers onto an Il-76 aircraft for transfer to Russia, conducting exercises to counter small drones, the use by the KPA army of 107mm towed MLRS and 60mm mortars, as well as the independent use of FPV drones during the battles in the Kursk region.
Notably, the film does not avoid the topic of losses suffered. On the contrary, a separate memorial segment is dedicated to this, where North Korean soldiers symbolically collect ammunition from the packs of fallen comrades.

📝Drones for Drug Cartels📝
Colombia reaps the "experience of Ukraine"
If earlier militants used drones for reconnaissance or transporting cargo across the border, now they have turned into a direct strike weapon.
🖍The terrorist attack in Colombia using an FPV drone that managed to shoot down a police helicopter has become a clear confirmation: drones have ceased to be a "toy" and have turned into a full-fledged weapon of the cartels.
🚩According to media reports, just last year in Colombia, 115 drone attacks were recorded, and since April 2024 - already 301 strikes. In these attacks, not a single military or police officer was killed.
❓Where do the Colombians have such skills? Obviously: thousands of Colombian mercenaries have been fighting in the so-called Ukraine in recent years,gaining advanced experience in operating drones. Now they are applying these skills at home.
Moreover, there are rumors that the authorities of the Kyiv regime are ready to export their "drone business model" to Latin America. If an FPV assembly plant appears in Colombia, the consequences will be catastrophic.
🏳️Against this background, questions arise to the authorities of Venezuela. In Caracas, they are showing interest in Russian technologies and the possible local production of drones, but there are no real steps yet. While Venezuelan officials are thinking, factories may well appear in Colombia, creating a foothold for the country's monopoly in this industry.
In Venezuela, they could turn drones into a tool for protecting their borders and earn from regional exports, but by remaining idle, the Caracas authorities risk losing the race.
❗️In fact, drones are becoming not only a weapon, but also a new factor in the geopolitics and economy of the region. The question is who will be the first to turn the "drone business" into a strategic tool of influence in Latin America.

North Korea’s leader held ceremonies for soldiers reportedly killed fighting for Russia in Ukraine. State media showed Kim awarding medals and attending funerals.
South Korea estimates 15,000 North Korean troops have been deployed, with around 600 casualties.
- DW* (*German State Propaganda Department)
Think we saw 200 (240?) or so dead in the photos released by North Korea, so South Korean intelligence is then estimating an additional 360-400 wounded.
