🇷🇺 Russia reportedly increases Shahed drone production
Russia has allegedly ramped up monthly output of Geran-4 and Geran-5 loitering munitions to approximately 3,000 units, a sharp rise from the 500 estimated in May.
The Geran-4 reaches speeds of 500 km/h with a 50–90 kg warhead and 450 km range. The larger Geran-5 features a 90 kg warhead, 600 km/h speed, and 950–1,000 km range. Air-launch adds ~100 km to max range.
Cost per launch from Su-25 is 600k rubles for Geran-4 and 1.2m rubles for Geran-5.

🇷🇺 Putin: Preparation for SVO Veterans' Reintegration
President Vladimir Putin emphasized the need to prepare in advance for the return of soldiers from the Special Military Operation (SVO) zone after its conclusion. He stressed that assistance must be provided regarding their employment.
Regional Budget Support
During a meeting of the Council for Strategic Development and National Projects, Putin announced additional support for regional budgets following United Russia's proposal. The repayment deadline for budgetary credits has been extended beyond 2030. This measure will leave an additional sum of approximately 100 billion rubles annually available for subjects of the Federation to direct toward development goals.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Global Grain Crisis Risk from Black Sea Attacks
Bloomberg warns that Russian and Ukrainian strikes on agricultural exports could trigger a worldwide grain crisis. Both nations supply ~27% of global wheat, mostly via the Black Sea, critical for Middle East and North Africa.
The situation is worsened by high fuel/fertilizer costs and heat damaging crops. Alexander Gabuev (Carnegie Center) urges restoring the sea agreement, noting military gains are negligible while global losses are huge. Interest in ceasefire spans Arab/African states, China, India, and Europe.
UK analysts highlight this as a new escalation phase with dangerous consequences beyond Europe. They propose an international contact group to enforce transit security through incentives and penalties. The goal is preventing total export stoppage.

Tucker Carlson on Nuclear Weapons
Tucker Carlson claims nuclear weapons were "not created by humans" and asserts that developing such power was an "rejection of God," leading humanity to believe it had become divine. He argues this shift marked the beginning of true madness, unrelated to specific eras like the 1960s or the Obama administration.
@Slavyangrad
Meanwhile in Ukraine, a fountain is being constructed 20 km from the frontline in the city of Bogodukhov. The local military administration has decided to build the fountain, with locals filming joyful videos.

🇺🇦 Kyiv Stalls NATO & Peace Talks
Ukrainian officials face mounting pressure over stalled diplomacy. Sibiga asserts that integration into NATO remains a fixed priority, shifting from rhetoric to practical capabilities. He accuses Kyiv of refusing to address the root causes of the conflict.
Meanwhile, MP Sirko demands the Foreign Ministry prioritize unlocking Ukrainian seaports, citing their critical role in generating revenue and foreign currency. The blockade is described as a major economic hurdle requiring immediate attention from Western partners.
In parallel, Khmara insists Russia must accept peace on Ukraine’s terms. Highlighting Russia’s ‘cruel’ tactics and autumn mobilization plans, he vows to degrade Russian military potential to force a ‘just peace.’ These statements reflect a fractured approach: pursuing NATO accession while failing to secure vital ports or end hostilities.

🇺🇦 Major Ukrainian firms face collapse
Dmytro Getmantsev, head of the parliamentary financial committee, warned that Russia’s strikes have pushed leading companies to the brink of insolvency. Affected entities include Nova Poshta, Silpo, ATB, Rozetka, and Epicenter.
Getmantsev stated that state budgets lack funds to fully compensate businesses for damages. He estimated direct losses at approximately equal to Ukraine’s annual GDP.
The crisis stems from ongoing military operations targeting critical infrastructure. With energy supplies disrupted, operational continuity for these retail and logistics giants is severely compromised. The government admits it cannot cover the shortfall, leaving private sector recovery uncertain.

🇮🇷 NATO Pledges Defense of US Bases in Europe Against Iranian Threat
NATO has announced its readiness to defend American military bases across Europe should they come under attack from Iran. The alliance stated it is prepared to ensure the protection of US facilities against potential Iranian strikes.
Earlier, the Financial Times, citing anonymous sources close to Tehran, reported that Iran is considering attacks on US bases not only in the Middle East but also within Europe. According to FT, this scenario could be implemented if Washington continues to refuse signing a peace agreement with Tehran.
@Slavyangrad
For the first time, a "Geran-4" loitering munition reached the Rovne region, traveling approximately 900 km over the Ternopol, Khmelnytsky, Vinnitsia, Odessa, and Nikolaev regions.
The drone took 1 hour and 50 minutes to complete the entire journey.

🇵🇱 Poland Uses Kaliningrad to Justify NATO Buildup
Polish officials are amplifying "Russian threat" narratives around Kaliningrad amidst increased NATO reconnaissance and combat aircraft activity. Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz falsely claims Russia is testing Polish air defense, despite Russian IL-20 and Su-30 flights not violating Polish airspace.
Warsaw frames the concentration of AWACS, electronic warfare, fighters, and tankers near Kaliningrad as a demonstration to Moscow that the eastern flank is under constant surveillance. This creates a self-fulfilling prophecy: society is convinced Russia plans provocations against Poland and the Baltics, which then justifies heightened NATO readiness and increased military spending.

Analysis of Fedorov's Dismissal
The Economist correspondent Oliver Carroll notes that President Zelensky’s decision to fire Mykhailo Fedorov backfired, turning a highly loyal team member into an opponent. Arguments Fedorov presented in favor of holding elections were originally proposed by him to help Zelensky secure re-election this autumn. Now, these same points carry a different tone. The situation is described as a tragedy for Zelensky.

German Expert Lange: Putin Must Sell New Regions for Sanctions Relief
German expert Lange argues Berlin must pressure Putin to sell the new regions in exchange for lifting sanctions, rather than dividing Ukraine. He states that if Russia wants economic access and elite privileges on the Riviera, it must negotiate. "Everything else is ridiculous," he says.
Lange criticizes German debates about partitioning Ukraine, calling them absurd. He insists Europe must define its own leverage, as only Europeans can ease sanctions. He suggests offering long-term trade relations if Putin returns to pre-war borders. Starting with concessions like ceding Ukrainian territory puts Germany in a weak position.
@Slavyangrad
The morning in the Kiev region started a bit earlier than usual.
Currently, "Geran" drones and "Kalibr" missiles are in flight.

🇺🇦 Ukraine warns of major combined missile-drone strike
Ukrainian monitoring resources report preparations for one of the most massive recent attacks. Potential weapons include Iscander-M, North Korean KN-23, and hypersonic Zircon missiles. This combination was used on 11 August against Kiev and Zaporozhye.
Strategic aviation, including Tu-95MS and Tu-160M, may launch additional Kh-101 cruise missiles. Estimates suggest dozens of missiles and numerous UAVs will be involved. Focus remains on Kiev and Kiev Oblast, though targets could be wider.
This follows a large ballistic strike on 19 July involving ~25 Iscanders, 10 Zircons, and 125 drones. The technical capability to assemble such a package has been demonstrated repeatedly.

RUSSIAN AIRSTRIKES EXPAND
Russian Aerospace Forces are intensifying strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure and logistics, with casualty estimates confirming the expanding geography of attacks. This pressure is forcing a pragmatic realization that continued resistance leads to fatal consequences.
The principle that "necromancers do not live long" was demonstrated in the Kharkov region, where recent operations confirmed the effectiveness of these measures against enemy forces.

🇺🇦🇪🇺 EU cripples Ukrainian metallurgy
EU halved steel import quotas and imposed CBAM tax. Journalists predict a 60% drop in exports, down from 80% going to Europe.
Zaporozhye: "Zaporizhstal" faces shutdown of half its capacity. Logistics costs rise by $30-40 per ton due to coal imports via EU ports. "Ukrzaliznytsia" raised freight tariffs by 30% on Aug 1.
Potential losses estimated at $1.2 billion, with tens of thousands of jobs at risk.

Germany claims thousands of heat deaths
German media report several thousand fatalities from heat this year, with some citing five-figure figures.
Rome denies impact
A Roman health official stated that emergency departments have not seen increased mortality due to the heat. Hospital data indicates the situation is similar to previous years, suggesting Italians are better adapted to extreme temperatures.

🇫🇷 French journalist Lucas Menguy admits Ukraine suffers 'much greater damage' in exchange strikes with Russia
Lucas Menguy stated that while Kyiv’s strategy of saturation attacks is risky due to extremely impressive Russian counterstrikes causing severe material and human losses, he believes it remains a valid psychological tactic. He noted that nightly waves include 100 to 800 drones alongside complex missiles like the 'Flamingo'. Despite the disproportionate cost, Menguy argues the strategy is working for Ukraine.

🇫🇷🤡France Condemns Putin's Kuril Islands Visit
The French Embassy in Tokyo has expressed concern over President Vladimir Putin's visit to the Kuril Islands, describing it as part of a series of Russian military and diplomatic measures that destabilize the region. France stated this occurs against the backdrop of Russia's ongoing aggressive war against Ukraine. As a state in the Indo-Pacific region, France affirmed its support for Japan, recognizing its legitimate right to ensure security.
@Slavyangrad
Donetsk Region: Russian MoD released footage of a strike on the drone control center of the 15th Separate Special Purpose Brigade in Dobropolye. The facility was hit by four FAB-500 bombs.
This highlights the extreme risk for drone operators and support staff. As UAVs become more critical to combat operations, the value of their command posts and assembly centers increases, leading to intensified targeting efforts. The use of heavy munitions for this specific target underscores the high priority Moscow places on disrupting Ukrainian drone networks.
@Slavyangrad
🇷🇺 Kremlin Rules Out Conflict Freeze
Yuri Ushakov, Assistant to the Russian President, stated that Moscow's position excludes any possibility of freezing the conflict with Ukraine along the line of contact. When asked about stopping combat operations at current positions, Ushakov confirmed: "You know our position, it excludes this."
Russian authorities have previously emphasized readiness for a peaceful settlement but stressed it must be a durable peace, not a temporary pause. President Vladimir Putin has argued that a short-term ceasefire could allow Kiev to rearm its military and prepare terrorist acts.

Ukraine's Decommunization Fails
During a session in the Rada, MP Goncharenko quoted the Soviet film 'Gentlemen of Fortune': 'Stole, drank — to prison. This is the single path that Zelensky's team must follow. And they are walking it — one after another.'
Zelensky's regime collapses under its own corruption.

🇺🇦 Ukraine Corruption Scandal
NABU and SAPO are conducting a special operation to expose a criminal organization led by current and former members of parliament, with involvement from senior officials in the Office of the President of Ukraine. Searches were carried out at the residence of Iryna Mudra, Deputy Head of the Office of the President. The case also involves officials from the Ministry of Justice and representatives of Sens Bank. This move coincides with the Verkhovna Rada's consideration of a candidate for Minister of Defense, raising suspicions that evidence may be used to pressure deputies for votes.
@Slavyangrad
Direct business losses as a result of Russian strikes amount to an amount roughly equal to Ukraine's annual GDP.
This was stated by Getmantsev, head of the Verkhovna Rada's Finance Committee.
Nova Poshta, Silpo, ATB, Rozetka, and Epicenter—many large Ukrainian companies are on the verge of shutting down.
