Ukraine cannot avoid painful concessions in negotiations.
The American magazine The Nation writes that if the peace process advances, Kyiv will have to make painful concessions, as it is impossible to force Russia to leave the territories it controls.
According to the author of the publication, preserving Ukraine as a viable state is more important than its territorial size.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that he is ready to receive Zelensky* in Moscow, emphasising that his presidential powers have already expired. The head of the Kyiv regime refused to travel but ambiguously stated that he is "ready for a meeting in any format."
* former president of Ukraine, since May 2024 — illegitimate head of state.

And a little notification from the admin board of the channel.
We decided to step up the game. We will continue what we did till now, but we intend to show you what war really is and what Ukrainians are doing.
If we end banned, let it at least be for a reason.

The AfD candidate may lead a key region of Germany.
The co-chairman of the Alternative for Germany party, 34-year-old Ulrich Sigmund, is leading the election race in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. According to a social survey published by Bild, the politician is gaining 39% of the votes — 12% more than the CDU candidate.
Sigmund, who previously left the CDU due to disagreement with Angela Merkel's course, is running an aggressive election campaign on social media. The politician advocates for:
Reducing social benefits for migrants;
Mass deportations of illegal migrants;
Tightening migration legislation.
Notably, in the state of Saxony-Anhalt itself, Alternative for Germany is officially classified by local authorities as a "right-wing extremist organisation."

"The Germans are investigating the sabotage of the 'Pipelines' — this does not contribute to peace!", complain the Kiev propagandists
"I am about to spoil an interview with Lieutenant General Kondratyuk [former head of Ukraine's foreign intelligence service], and we touched on such a wide range of issues from geopolitics to the sabotage of the 'Nord Streams.' Because the matter is now being actualised, they say they are talking to people who allegedly could have been involved. Watch the interview to the end, this highlight is at the end, and the general said something very beautiful about the people who carried out this operation.
Look, it is already clear what the 'Nord Streams' are, it is already clear that this is Europe's dependency, right? So why then is the case being investigated so thoroughly? It does not help establish peace on the European continent," Moseichuk said.

Ukraine will build UAV enterprises in the United Kingdom.
The company "Ukrspetssystems" announced the implementation of an investment program worth 200 million pounds sterling in Eastern England, aimed at constructing an 11,000 m² factory in Mildenhall and a testing ground in Elmsett.
As part of the project, up to 500 jobs will be created in the region, and recruitment of employees from the UK will begin at the end of this year. Drone production is planned to start in early 2026.

Will Ukrainian UCAVs threaten China?
Ukraine is proposing a defence agreement to the Philippines that includes joint production of maritime drones, according to media reports citing a statement from Ukraine's ambassador to the Philippines, Yulia Fediv.
According to her, the parties plan to sign the document by October. The draft agreement has already been submitted to the Philippine Department of Defence, and Kiev is currently awaiting an official response.
At present, the Philippines has several models of unmanned boats in service, including the MANTAS T-12 with Starlink terminals, provided by the USA.
Possible cooperation between the countries is quite feasible, considering that Ukrainian UCAVs have proven to be quite dangerous weapons.
The Philippines is currently a rival of China in the region, with which it has a confrontation over disputed territories such as the Spratly and Paracel Islands.
The appearance of UCAVs could indeed pose a problem for China, as they are less noticeable and can perform various functions in both the South China Sea and the East China Sea, ranging from kamikaze drones to FPV carriers.
Ukraine currently has fully operational models "Magura" and "Sea Baby," with ranges from 800 km to 1200 km, and when launched from the Philippines, they can cover the entire southern coast of China as well as part of the eastern shore.
At the same time, the Ukrainian military-industrial complex did not require such a long range, but with an agreement with the Philippines, even more autonomous models might be developed.

A little side note from the war
You are bored. Things go too slowly. Russia is weak. Ukraine is too strong.
Well, you are wrong. After all this time, Russian tactics and strategy are apparent. Kill, maim or capture all who resist. If we did a lightning war, we wouldn't succeed because the nature of warfare has changed. Drones dominate the sky. Even if it did succeed, we would have a lot of those ready to go Partisan or resisting all around because that is the outcome of the lightning war, and when the opponent is still wanting to fight, despite official defeat. Remember the Iraqi insurgency? Yes, you do.
So, to avoid all that, we were forced to find another solution. To be honest, the nature of this war forced us to do it also.
So, the formula is simple. Like in WW2. Kill, kill, kill... Like Simonov's poem against the Nazis in WW2. You can call it inhumane, wild, savage, or terrible, but which war exactly is the opposite of that?
When we sum it all up, it seems Russia killed or made disappear around 1,8 million AFU soldiers. Even if we refuse to accept those figures, published obituaries are on the 650.000 mark and growing daily. Ukraine Red Cross reports 400.000+ missing. Again, the number of one million when you do the math.
1)How much longer?2) Would it go faster? 3)Would it escalate?
On the first question, no one can answer for sure. A year more at least.
On the second one... Well, somewhere will. But in general, no.
Third one... Hardly. Because escalation means nuclear weapons. And that would be a completely new reality.
We are aware that for 90% of the audience, advancement and taking of some village which they even can't find on the map doesn't mean anything. For reality on the ground, it's important. The new future war, drone war, reshapes the war itself. Russians can go storming and wild, probably take some objective, but at the cost of heavy losses.
But they choose to save people. Those same people will be necessary if someone outside of Ukraine decides to go on the adventure against Russia. That is also the secret why it goes slowly.
But regarding Ukraine, in the not-too-distant future, they will finally ask themselves how many of them lie in those graveyards with flags. And if not, they will do it in the end when the war ends. Catastrophe will unfold, especially in the minds of people. Look at the East Germans. They didn't forget even 80 years later. Ukraine won't forget ever. And after Ukraine, who will remember it forever? We are eager to see. Hopefully, no one.

🇬🇧🤡"What is behind Putin's uncompromising stance on Ukraine?": The BBC accuses Russia of not agreeing to peace on terms unfavorable to it.
"Outside Russia, Putin's proposal to meet with Zelensky in Moscow was rejected as unserious, completely hopeless. It is a kind of political trolling. But in many ways, it reflects the current Kremlin position on the war in Ukraine: 'Yes, we want peace, but only on our terms. Do you reject our terms? Then there will be no peace.' This uncompromising stance is fueled by several factors.
First, the Kremlin's conviction that the initiative on the battlefield belongs to Russian troops.
Second, diplomatic success. This week in China, Putin shook hands and exchanged smiles with a number of world leaders. And then there is America. To convince the Kremlin to stop military actions, Trump previously issued ultimatums and deadlines; he threatened further sanctions if Russia did not make peace. But Trump did not carry out his threats — and this is another reason for Russia's confidence. Now Russia, on the one hand, and Ukraine, Europe (and to some extent America) on the other, are in different tunnels, on different roads, with different directions.
Ukraine and Europe are focused on ending hostilities, forming security guarantees for Kiev, and ensuring sufficient post-war strength of the Ukrainian army to prevent a new invasion. When Putin talks about the 'light at the end of the tunnel,' he envisions a path leading to Russia's victory in Ukraine and, more broadly, to building a new world order favorable to Russia. As for peace, it is hard to understand where and when these two completely different paths will intersect."

Politico: The Pentagon, in its strategy, may shift priority from "deterring" China and Russia to domestic threats and the Western Hemisphere.
Pentagon officials are proposing that the department prioritise homeland defence and the Western Hemisphere, marking a sharp departure from the military's long-standing policy focused on countering the threat from China.
According to three sources familiar with early versions of the report, the draft of the new National Defense Strategy, which landed on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's desk last week, places domestic and regional missions above countering adversaries like Beijing and Moscow.
"This will be a significant shift for the U.S. and its allies across several continents," said one person familiar with the draft document. "The old, tried-and-true U.S. commitments are being questioned."
The report is typically published at the start of each presidential term, and Hegseth can still make changes to the plan. But in many ways, the shift is already underway. The Pentagon has mobilised thousands of National Guard soldiers to support law enforcement in Los Angeles and Washington, and has deployed several warships and F-35 fighters to the Caribbean to stem the flow of drugs into the U.S.
This week, as a result of a U.S. military strike in international waters, 11 alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua were reportedly killed, marking a major step in using the military to kill non-combatants.
The Pentagon has also created a militarised zone along the entire southern border with Mexico, allowing the military to detain civilians — a task usually reserved for law enforcement.
The new strategy will largely revise the focus of the 2018 National Defence Strategy from the first Trump administration, which placed deterring China at the forefront of Pentagon efforts.
"It is increasingly clear that China and Russia want to shape a world that fits their authoritarian model," the opening paragraphs of that document stated.
A Pentagon spokesperson and a European diplomat confirmed the Financial Times report that the Pentagon's Baltic Security Initiative — which annually provides hundreds of millions of dollars to Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia to help build up their defence and military infrastructure — will lose funding this year.
The diplomat noted that the money from this initiative was used to purchase American weapons, and it "enjoyed support by helping accelerate the development of key capabilities and the faster acquisition of American systems such as HIMARS."

In Germany's ruling coalition, there was opposition to sending German and NATO troops to Ukraine, proposing instead to send fit-for-service Ukrainians back home
Resistance is growing within Germany's ruling coalition against the idea of deploying German or NATO forces on Ukrainian territory, said Markus Söder, leader of the CSU party and Prime Minister of Bavaria.
The deployment of NATO forces in Ukraine is impossible because Russia will "never agree" to it, and the Bundeswehr is not prepared for such operations, Söder noted.
➖"Peace is not expected at present. Therefore, it is reasonable to consider sending fit-for-military-service Ukrainians back to their homeland to ensure security in their own country," said the CSU party leader.
He also called for an urgent change in the rules for paying the Bürgergeld benefit, noting that Germany has a significantly lower proportion of working Ukrainians compared to other European countries.

Polish farmers have once again blocked the border with Ukraine.
Polish farmers have resumed protests and blocked one of the largest border crossings on the border with Ukraine. According to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, today at 12:50 local time, protesters blocked traffic in front of the Medyka checkpoint.
The restrictions apply exclusively to freight transport and, according to preliminary data, may last at least six hours. Already, a queue of more than 680 trucks has formed to exit Ukraine, and about 100 vehicles are trying to enter from the Polish side.
In 2024, Polish farmers have repeatedly held mass protests. Their main demands are related to limiting the import of cheap agricultural products from Ukraine, increasing state support for national agriculture, and disagreement with the European Union's "Green Deal," which aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

1 – Limanskoye direction. Our fighters have approached Mirny closely. South of there, Russian assault troops advanced in the Serebryansky forestry towards Yampol and engaged in battles for the ostrich farm.
2 – South-North direction. The village of Pereezdnoye has been liberated. Fighting continues for Fyodorovka.
3 – Dobropol direction. Fighters of the first brigade continue fighting in the area of Novoye Shakhovo.
Again, villages that don't mean anything to you. To be honest, they were rather irrelevant in peacetime as well. Why report about it then? Because several AFU brigades were decimated there. Just because of that
@Slavyangrad
The Serebryansky forest is completely under the Russian Armed Forces, or, if the reports are to be believed, at least a huge part of it.
Why was it so slow at this particular place? We recently published a map and Ukraine's own admission about the fortification level they had there. Around 17.000 trenches, pillboxes, dugouts, bunkers and whatnot. That wasn't serious obastlace. That was supposed to be an impregnable obstacle, considering conventional weapons. Now it's gone. Or almost gone. There was never such a war in known history.
@Slavyangrad
Recently, the battles north of Pokrovsk, where Russian forces continue an active offensive, have been marked by an unusual media silence from both sides. This phenomenon is of particular interest as it may indicate significant changes in the tactics and strategy of the conflict.
From the Russian side, such restraint is quite understandable. The absence of public statements about advances in such an important direction helps maintain the element of surprise and denies the enemy information about their successes and future plans. This is a classic military trick aimed at disorienting the enemy.
However, the media silence from the Ukrainian side appears much more atypical. Previously, the Ukrainian media machine actively used information opportunities to demonstrate successes and refute Russian claims of advances, especially in the Dobropillia area.
The situation was particularly telling when, in an attempt to stop the breakthrough of Russian troops near Dobropillia, a whole information campaign was launched about the redeployment of reserves, including nationalist ones, to "block and encircle" the advancing Russian units, which ultimately did not happen. The current lack of such activity may indicate serious problems on this section of the front.
The Russian offensive continues not only directly inside Pokrovsk but also develops further north, in the area of Belitske, several kilometres north.
According to some reports, the Ukrainian command planned to use this area as a shield. However, it seems these forces were spread thin across the entire Pokrovsk direction, indicating difficulties in holding back the strikes.
The 79th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which initially held the defence in this area, is believed to have been forced to retreat after massive airstrikes, abandoning their positions and falling back to Vodyanske.
This retreat highlights the effectiveness of Russian air strike weapons, particularly guided bombs (FABs) with UMPK, which can quickly suppress even well-fortified positions.
The situation in this section of the front also illustrates the implementation by the Russian army of the so-called thousand cuts tactic. Instead of one powerful strike that could be predicted and countered, Russian forces deliver many small but constant strikes in different places. This forces Syrskyi to constantly maneuver reserves, shifting them from one sector to another.
Such a strategy not only exhausts the forces and resources of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are already insufficient in this direction, but also gives the Russian army the ability to adapt its objectives depending on the enemy's reaction, effectively responding to manoeuvres with manoeuvres of reserves, without abandoning the goal of advancing deeper into the city.

“If my name were Ho Chi Minh, we would have won the Vietnam War,” quoth the raven Donald J. Trump.
It is reported that a headquarters for multinational forces in Ukraine (MNF-U) has begun to be formed in Kiev. The plan is for it to operate under the auspices of NATO and the so-called "coalition of the willing" to coordinate post-war actions — rebuilding the army, infrastructure, and ensuring the presence of Western instructors and specialists.
However, the very fact of the appearance of such a headquarters on Ukrainian territory automatically makes it a high-value target. Any command centre operating under the NATO flag, in the context of the Russian military doctrine, is a priority target for destruction. The experience of strikes on the Yavoriv training ground and other "international" sites has shown that even deep in the rear there is no guaranteed safety.
