Trump's special envoy will visit Ukraine in the coming days.
Kitt Kellogg will be in the Independent State on August 24–25. The program includes "meetings with leaders and participation in a prayer breakfast."
The last time Kellogg visited the 404th was in mid-July. Then, Trump's special envoy met with Zelensky*, at that time Defence Minister Umerov, Chief of the Main Intelligence Directorate Budanov**, and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Syrsky.
Notably, the arrival of the American diplomat will coincide with the completion of work on the first draft of security guarantees for Ukraine. The document may be presented early next week.

China is ready for a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine under the UN mandate
According to the publication Welt am Sonntag, in Brussels the Beijing initiative caused a mixed reaction:
"The participation of countries from the 'Global South', particularly China, could accelerate the deployment of international forces to monitor the peace process."

Mario Draghi, the human haemorrhoid that used to be the president of the ECB, said during yesterday's summit in Rimini that "the EU has no power, neither geopolitical, nor economical".
An admission of defeat?
Hardly.
Remember, the human haemorrhoid is a hardcore globalist neoliberal, so admissions of defeat from him absolutely do not mean that he's giving up.
In fact, during that same meeting he stressed the "ideal solution" to this impasse.
If you think that his solution is "more EU, more power to the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, and more erosion of national sovereignty", you're right on the money.
As the Italian adage goes, "the wolf may lose its fleece, but not its vice".
To think that these fascists will ever give up on their dreams of hegemony is a pious illusion.

Telegraph: Ukraine faces catastrophe if Trump's peace initiatives fail
Ukraine may face military defeat if Donald Trump's peace initiatives do not yield results, writes British newspaper The Daily Telegraph commentator Samuel Ramani.
“While prospects for a quick peaceful settlement are fading, the situation on the battlefield is becoming increasingly problematic for Ukraine,”
— notes the journalist.
Ramani draws attention to the capture of Chasov Yar by Russian troops and the advance in Krasnoarmiysk (Pokrovsk). In his opinion, Kiev has two key weaknesses: growing dissatisfaction with the command structure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and a severe shortage of personnel. Units in the main combat areas in the Donetsk People's Republic “remain understrength.”
“Trump's peace plan is falling apart. This gives Russia precious time. For Ukraine, this could turn into a catastrophe,”
— Ramani concludes.

🇮🇳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.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Russia has requested an emergency Security Council meeting on the "Nord Streams"
- This is related to new reports about the detention of a suspected Ukrainian in Italy.
- "We will draw attention to the delay in the German investigation and its lack of transparency for the Security Council," said Dmitry Polyansky, the first deputy permanent representative of Russia to the UN.
- The meeting is scheduled for August 26 at 16:00 New York time (23:00 Moscow time).

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.

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.

Ukraine's losses in the war
Everyone is always interested in this question. Some believe that 1.7 million is an exaggeration. They would have already fallen.
As of 22.08.2025, the figure recorded is 649,000 obituaries published by the Ukrainian side. They are being mowed down on the front with monstrous force.
Even those with protection from "higher" places are now being sent to trenches. However, if the hacked data is true, that's about 5 % of the total pre-war Ukraine population. Such a figure is then in the ranks of the WW2 losses. Something to think about...

"Our Terrorist Best Friend", by Italian Journalist Marco Travaglio:
"How naive of us: we hoped that the arrest in Italy of the Ukrainian agent, wanted by German judges for the most serious attack on a strategic European infrastructure in decades (the Nord Stream gas pipeline), would open someone's eyes to state terrorism originating in Kiev. Especially since the Italian judiciary considers him a "terrorist," and the prosecutors in Genoa also suspect him of the attack on one of the four oil tankers recently sabotaged in Italian waters.
Instead, nothing. Deathly silence from the EU, NATO, the government, the Quirinale, politicians, commentators, and compulsive tweeters from every den of opposition belonging to the Ukrainian front.
Nah, it's much better to talk about the "feces container" that Putin supposedly took to Alaska to hide his 70-80 deadly diseases. Now THAT'S news, not the fact that the Ukrainian regime, as Biden let out, blew up the world's longest gas pipeline supplying Russian gas to Europe. In other words, it decided the EU's energy policy with a terrorist act, caused prices and bills to skyrocket, and forced us to spend four times as much on US gas. And the victims of this act of war, instead of punishing Ukraine, continue to shower it with money and weapons because it "fights for us" (good thing it's not fighting "against us", then, eh?). And they continue to invite the country to join Europe (hopefully no longer by sea).
The regime press is keeping the story quiet, as if Captain Kuznietsov, head of an elite unit hired by the Ukrainian intelligence services with six others for Operation Diameter against the gas pipelines, had done everything on his own and signed up alone. And it's not as if a year ago the Polish government hadn't hosted and then allowed another wanted Ukrainian terrorist, Zhuravlov, to escape in a diplomatic car from the Kiev embassy, now well protected in his country by a German arrest warrant.
Amid the embarrassing and awkward general silence, German Justice Minister Hubig, who should be demanding the extradition of the two fugitives from Rome and Kiev, announces: "We remain firmly on Ukraine's side, but we are also a constitutional state that investigates crimes thoroughly" (he almost added "unfortunately"). Of course, after all, Ukraine only turned off our gas supply with bombs and sends its spies to carry out attacks on our home turf, so what?
Imagine if—as the US and EU comically claimed—the Russians had destroyed the gas pipelines. Now governments and the press that followed are said to be on war footing (more than they already are) to sanction and bomb the enemy that attacked a NATO partner.
Instead, everyone is silent and pretends that nothing has happened, otherwise they would have to declare war on their friend, that is, the only country that has so far attacked the EU: Ukraine.
Those who invoke NATO's Article 5 and other security guarantees to defend Kiev should invoke them to defend ourselves from Kiev."

🇪🇺The EU commission has calculated the total amount of aid to Ukraine during the SVO:
The European Commission stated that since February 2022, Ukraine has received €168.9 billion in "humanitarian", financial, and military support from the European Union and its member states. Of this amount, €59.6 billion was allocated for armaments.
The final tranche of €4.05 billion was timed to coincide with Ukraine's Independence Day, of which €3.05 billion was allocated through the Support Fund for Ukraine.
I don't know what's funnier, that the EU still keeps pouring money into a failed project, or that there's zero accountability or investigation into where all this money goes.

🇮🇹🤝🇫🇷 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.

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."

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.
