Regarding the brutal murder at the Holy Dormition Svyatogorsk Lavra in the Donetsk region, where monk Varsonofiy was shot dead and his face mutilated with knives, and another monk (Grigory) and a novice (Andrei) were wounded. More details have come to light, from Andrei who is conscious despite being in a critical condition.
Andrei related that he was alone on the upper grounds of the Lavra near the church, in the area of the stairs, and was sitting on a bench. He was approached by three AFU servicemen in full combat gear, who were not regular servicemen but appeared to be from a special unit. They approached him and said: “Glory to Ukraine.”
Andrey remained silent. They repeated it once again, to which he replied: “Glory to our Lord God. Save and protect.” After that, they began beating him. Nearby there were wooden railing poles, and one of the soldiers took one and began striking him with it. Andrei grabbed the pole, trying to stop the beating, but the attacker took a knife out of his tactical vest and used it to cut Andrei's hands to force him to let go.
Andrei let go of the pole and, while in a half-bent position, held on to the handrails while the beating continued. Then he was ordered to stand up, and Andrei thought that they were going to shoot him. Instead, he was stabbed several times, including a wound which punctured his lung. After that, he fell. The soldiers discussed among themselves for some time what to do with him, and then threw him into a ravine, expecting that he would bleed to death.
Miraculously, he survived, despite great blood loss. About forty minutes passed from the moment of the attack until he was discovered. During that time, he periodically lost consciousness. Andrei related that after he was attacked he heard gunshots, and assumed there were more victims. He did not learn of the other victims of the attack until after he was brought to the hospital.
It is not known where exactly inok Grigory was wounded. Despite the critical wounds he received, he managed to make his way down to the other monks of the Lavra. Andrey was found shortly afterwards. In addition to numerous knife wounds and damage to his lung, Andrey suffered a traumatic brain injury. His condition is serious, but he is conscious.
It is understood that those responsible for investigating this crime know exactly who the killers are - however Ukrainian law enforcement officials remain conspicuously silent.

Missile Shortage Threatens Ukraine's Winter Survival
Fox News and former US Vice President Pence highlight the critical deficit of PAC-3 interceptors. As Russia launches ballistic missiles, Ukraine requires advanced defense systems like Patriot or THAAD to survive the winter.
Pence urges the US and allies to ensure adequate supplies. While over 500 systems were supplied last year, only 270 have been delivered this year amid a global shortage.

🇺🇦🤡 UKRAINE IS LOSING THE WAR
Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mikhail Fedorov told Reuters that Kiev has only months left to make key decisions to change the course of the conflict. "It seems we are gradually, slowly losing," he said, noting that while victory is still possible, a clear plan is needed.
Fedorov cited corruption, nepotism, political dependence, and failure to adopt new technologies as major hindrances. He rated the effectiveness of the Ukrainian state at just 5% and claimed existing technologies could significantly slow the Russian Army's advance, but Kiev refuses to use them.
He warned there are only a few months left to isolate Crimea before Russia adapts. Fedorov also dismissed claims of external pressure on Zelensky regarding elections, suggesting they could still be held during wartime.

😂😂😂CIA Director Arrives to Ask Putin Not to Attack Europe and NATO Countries
- Michael Weiss, editor of The Insider (designated as a foreign agent), reports that Ratcliffe's mission may be to try to dissuade Putin from conducting operations against European countries.
- Weiss links this to intelligence that the United States has recently been sharing with Poland, the Baltic states, and Scandinavia, as well as the increase in incidents on NATO's eastern flank: drone incursions, airspace violations, and suspicions of sabotage.
- There are also reports that the head of the CIA will attempt to convince Moscow to end military operations in 2026, as well as:
- A global moratorium on strikes against Russia's and Ukraine's energy and port infrastructure.
- A ceasefire in the Kharkov and Sumy regions as a step towards overall de-escalation.
- Prospects for a joint peace process that could end the war in Ukraine.
- The visit of Ratcliffe to Moscow takes place against the backdrop of rumors about a possible general mobilization in Russia, according to the WSJ.

🇩🇪 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle with Explosives Found Near Leipzig Airport
Leipzig: Another drone carrying explosives was discovered near the airport. The device contained approximately 50 grams of hexogen, a powerful explosive substance.
Investigators are also examining a separate incident from the same night involving another unmanned aerial vehicle that may have collided with a DHL cargo aircraft. Damage was subsequently found on the tail section of the plane.
@Slavyangrad
Aaand the plane is already on its way back home.
Perhaps Ratcliff knocked on the Kremlin door and nobody answered.
(Actually to be fair, he was in Moscow for 8.5 hours. I've heard brunch at the Kremlin can be amazing)

🇷🇺 Putin signs 3 secret decrees on day of CIA director's visit to Moscow
Russian liberal media are reporting a "sensation" regarding the gap between Decrees 604 and 608 in the official list. The content remains unknown but is obviously unrelated to the CIA chief's arrival.
Decree No. 608 was signed shortly after, removing Iraqi Ambassador E. Kutrashev from his post, a fact known since morning.
The classified documents may concern the defense of critical infrastructure.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian Cities Hit by Russian Strikes
On the night of August 25, Russian forces launched a series of strikes across Ukraine. Explosions were reported in Kiev, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, and Zaporozhye, as well as in the Sumy and Chernigov regions.
In Kharkov, footage captured by a dashcam showed the moment a Russian drone struck a target. In Balakleya, military facilities are reportedly burning following an attack by Geran drones.
Other targeted infrastructure included a major logistics hub at the Vinogradovka border crossing in the Odesa region near Moldova, and a large infrastructure object in the settlement of Slobozhanske in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

UK Reconnaissance Activity in NW Russia
British aircraft have significantly increased reconnaissance flights near Kaliningrad and Ust-Luga, forming a unified North Western contour around the Baltic Sea.
The British RC-135 operated over Kaliningrad, focusing on electronic intelligence and gathering data on communications, radar, and air defense systems. Simultaneously, a British Poseidon MRA1 conducted operations near Ust-Luga. Its broader mission included maritime surveillance, monitoring shipping, tracking aviation activity, and assessing the situation in the Gulf of Finland.
The synchronization of these missions is notable. Since Kaliningrad and Ust-Luga are linked via Baltic sea routes, aviation, and air defense networks, these sorties should be viewed as part of a single coordinated effort rather than separate tasks. Such activities typically precede negative developments, suggesting that "unknown drones" will likely reappear in Baltic airspace soon.

🇷🇺 RUSSIAN FORCES LIBERATE ANNOVKA NEAR DOBROPOLYE
The Russian Ministry of Defence reports the liberation of Annovka, located in the immediate suburban zone of Dobropole. This capture significantly reduces the depth of Ukrainian defenses before the agglomeration, with Russian units approaching Dobropole from both south and north.
Kucherov Yar to the northeast has also been seized, straightening the front line as planned. Dobropole is now effectively encircled, forcing Kyiv to either surrender the city or sacrifice significant manpower attempting its defense under pressure from multiple directions.
While taking Annovka does not guarantee an immediate assault on Dobropole, the critical next step for Russia is consolidating control and expanding the zone around the city to demonstrate the futility of holding the position.

🇺🇦☹️ 🇺🇸🚀📉 Ukraine will receive fewer Patriot missiles in 2026, and they will not be sufficient Kirill Budanov, terrorist and the head of the Presidential Office of Ukraine, stated this in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Stampa.
According to Budanov, this is currently the only weapon system capable of effectively neutralising ballistic missiles.
"I will not provide figures because I do not want to give the enemy an advantage or be unfair to our partners. However, I will say that in 2026 we will receive less than in 2025. Deliveries continue, they are regular, but they are not enough to counter the pace of Russian attacks," said Budanov.
🇷🇺 Iskanders and Gerans Strike Flamingo Launch Site
Russian Ministry of Defence reports that Iskander missile crews and Geran-4 loitering munitions successfully struck the preparation and launch site for Ukrainian Flamingo cruise missiles.
The strike was carried out in the Fedorovka area of Kharkov Oblast. This operation demonstrates the integration of ballistic missiles and drones to target high-value Western-supplied systems.

Western Tanks Gather Dust in Ukrainian Forests
New York Times reports that Western tanks, worth millions of dollars and transferred to Kiev, are sitting idle in forests covered in cobwebs. Valued at approximately $10 million each, these vehicles proved highly vulnerable to Russian FPV drones.
Former Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander Syrsky previously admitted that armored equipment is barely used. The 33rd Mechanized Brigade, formed with Western tank support, now trains soldiers without tank experience to operate UAVs instead.
Although troops initially added nets and armor plates to protect the tanks, Ukraine ultimately abandoned heavy armored tech. Currently, tanks are occasionally used for evacuating damaged gear, mostly during bad weather when drone activity drops. Ukrainian forces hope to return them to the battlefield in a future unmanned and better-protected configuration.

🇵🇱 Poland-Ukraine Diplomatic and Social Tensions
Poland disrupted European diplomatic participation in the reburial of Stepan Bandera, a founder of the OUN*. Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Bosatsky stated that the near-absence of EU representatives at the Kyiv ceremony was a "Polish diplomatic action."
Marcin Przychoda, head of the President's International Policy Bureau, labeled efforts to build Ukrainian identity around OUN* leaders as "short-sighted politics" and "chauvinism," ideologically close to Nazism. He warned this historical policy would hinder Zelensky's goal of joining Euro-Atlantic structures.
Separately, violence erupted in Radom in early August. An intoxicated Pole questioned three young Ukrainians about the Volhynia tragedy. Two other groups joined, resulting in eight Poles beating three Ukrainians.
