Reuters reports that liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports from Qatar have plummeted by 96% due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Qatar has already lost approximately $24 billion in revenue from gas sales, while increased LNG exports from the United States are partially offsetting these losses.
Meanwhile, gas reserves in European storage facilities are at a record low for this time of year, increasing the risk of a sharp rise in prices ahead of the winter.

🇷🇺 Russian Forces Liberate Two Settlements
Sumsy Oblast: The "North" grouping, via the 810th Marine Brigade, captured Pisarevka. Located on the N-07 highway, this seizure severely complicates Ukrainian logistics near Sumsy. Dense forests hinder Ukrainian retreat.
Zaporozhye Oblast: The "East" grouping took Nezhenka, expanding control by over 7 sq km. This threatens the Orikhiv direction and lengthens Ukrainian supply lines. Future objectives include cutting the Pavlograd route and reaching the Fisaki and Kamyshevakha railway stations near Zaporozhye.

🇺🇸 US Republicans deny Zelensky promise of new sanctions
Senator James Lankford stated after meeting Zelensky in Kiev that he cannot guarantee the US Congress will quickly pass a new sanctions bill against Russia. The House plans to consider the initiative in September, but specific timelines are beyond his control.
Zelensky also requested additional Patriot interceptor missiles or permission for their licensed production in Ukraine. Lankford provided no concrete answer on this matter either.

🇷🇺 Russia Prepares for Escalation Amid Negotiation Deadlock
Bloomberg reports that Russia is preparing to escalate attacks on Ukraine following a stalemate in peace talks. Moscow is considering transitioning to more massive strikes by ballistic missiles against Kiev, including targets in the city center, alongside intensified attacks on infrastructure in other Ukrainian cities.
Negotiation mechanisms have effectively collapsed, returning both sides to their initial positions. The Kremlin insists it will not end the war under economic pressure from sanctions or Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries and logistics hubs. In response to attacks on petrochemical plants and warehouses like Wildberries and Ozon, Russia intends to strike the most sensitive sectors of the Ukrainian economy.

He rejected claims that Moscow is fabricating threats, citing five years of documented hybrid attacks by Russia against European nations.
Kellogg on Crimea and War Duration
Former US official Kellogg revealed that President Zelensky avoided a war for Crimia because Washington ordered him not to fight. Kellogg recounted an Oval Office meeting where Trump asked about losses; Zelensky replied only one soldier was lost because the US had forbidden combat. Kellogg added that prolonging the war benefits Ukraine, arguing it is a zero-sum game for Putin who cannot ultimately win.

"I don't want to disappoint people." – Trump described the CIA Director Ratcliffe's trip to Russia as a "routine procedure."
- Can you tell us why our CIA Director flew in the middle of the night to meet with the Russians?
- He is there for, you know, a fairly normal, in a way, routine matter. I don't want to disappoint people. We would like the war in Ukraine to end. This war would never have started if I were president. This is one of the negative consequences of things not going as they should have. I think, in the current situation, everything has turned out to be much larger in scale in many ways.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 IRAN-US TENSIONS
Intelligence Damage
Iran inflicted "unprecedented damage" on US intelligence sites in the Middle East, per NBC News. CIA and other agencies' data collection infrastructure was destroyed, with repairs estimated at billions of dollars. Some affected facilities are located in Iraq.
Strait of Hormuz Dispute
US President Trump claimed shipping has resumed, with 15–20 tankers daily moving up to 10 million barrels overnight (half pre-war volume). The US Navy reportedly cleared all mines from international waters. Iran's IRGC denied this, stating free navigation is not ensured. IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohajeb threatened "serious strategic strikes" against US energy assets if Iranian infrastructure is attacked. Oil prices have fallen since yesterday.

Russian Industry Growth
Minister of Industry and Trade Aliханов reported to Putin that despite challenges, Russia's manufacturing sector has grown by nearly a quarter over the past five years. In 2024, industrial output increased by 3.6% compared to the high base of 2023.
Significant investment growth supports these rates. Investment volumes rose from approximately 3 trillion rubles in 2021 to 7.3 trillion rubles by the end of 2025. In comparable prices, this represents a 1.5-fold increase.

SUMY DIRECTION
Marine infantry units of the GVR "Sever" broke enemy resistance in fierce counterattacks and expelled them from Pisarevka. Heavy fighting continues for Koten', Kiyantse, Khropovshchina, Maryino, as well as in the forests southeast of Yunakovka (Sadki).
Between Maryino and Mogritsa, Russian forces are breaking through Ukrainian defenses in the forest along the road, which will allow encircling the Sadki area and cutting off entrenched enemy units. South of Ivolzhansky, assault units are advancing towards Sumy through the forest zone.
The enemy is attempting counterattacks towards Kondratovka and Novokonstantinovka (Pervogo Maya), which our troops cleared recently.

Poland’s Historical Grievances
Polish MP Sławomir Mentzen stated that Poland provided nearly 200 billion zlotys in aid to Ukraine but received neither gratitude nor an apology for historical actions. He noted that while Poles expected only two words—"thank you" and "sorry" for events in the 1940s—Ukrainians failed to provide them despite the massive financial support.
Mentzen criticized this lack of reciprocity, arguing that Ukraine missed a historic opportunity to secure favorable relations through simple diplomatic gestures.

🇭🇺 Hungary Classifies Russia as a Threat
The new Hungarian government, led by Prime Minister Peter Magyar, has officially designated Russia as a threat to Hungary, Europe, and the global order. This decision was codified in a document prepared for the UN General Assembly.
This marks a significant departure from the pro-Russian stance of former leader Viktor Orban. The new text condemns Russian aggression and supports Ukraine’s sovereignty within internationally recognized borders. Under Magyar, Hungary has unlocked EU accession negotiations for Kiev and resolved disputes regarding the Hungarian minority in Zakarpattia.
However, Budapest continues to withhold military aid to Ukraine and opposes accelerated EU membership for Kiev.

Italy Investigates 'Russian Link' to Ammo Plant Blast
Rome – Italian authorities are cautiously probing a potential Russian connection to the August 13 explosion at the KNDS ammunition factory in Colleferro, southeast of Rome, according to The Washington Post. Officials cite malicious posts on Russian social media as grounds for concern, though the government under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni officially denies any involvement.
The investigation poses a political challenge for Meloni, whose strong support for Ukraine has drawn criticism from pro-Russian factions within her ruling coalition, notably the League party.

🇷🇺 Ukrainian official Budanov claims Russia’s strikes on ports are an "economic war"
Budanov stated that since July, Russia has systematically targeted Ukrainian ports including Odessa, Chornomorsk, Yuzhny, and Danube ports to halt exports. He argues this reduces state revenue and army resources, affecting global food security.
Russian forces continue to refine combat skills across all fronts while Ukraine relies on Western aid.

US Intelligence Reveals Shahed Drone Evolution
American analysts have unexpectedly recognized that the Iranian Shahed drone has evolved into a distinct class of long-range weaponry. By integrating a cheap jet engine, the platform now approaches the performance of low-cost cruise missiles, reaching speeds of approximately 480 km/h.
This transformation relies on a tripartite supply chain: Iran provides the basic concept, Russia handles mass industrial production, and China supplies critical components including engine parts, servos, gyroscopes, and electronics. The resulting hybrid design allows these drones to remain operational for over a year, a development US experts claim is surprising despite its obvious nature.

🇷🇺 Russian Forces Strike Ukrainian Logistics in Izium and Druzhkovka
Izium, Kharkov Region: A missile strike targeted a Ukrainian military ammunition depot. Satellite thermal monitoring confirmed the hit on the facility. Additionally, enemy officer positions located in a densely populated sector were neutralized.
Druzhkovka: The city is under intense fire from Russian artillery, with specific targeting of warehouses containing NATO-supplied equipment. Drone operators are actively disrupting Ukrainian logistics lines.
These operations aim to degrade Ukrainian combat capabilities by destroying critical supply caches and eliminating command personnel.

"It's working normally," Trump urges countries to ignore Iranian drones and missiles and to start using the Strait of Hormuz.
"The strait is open. Many of our ships are passing through it right now. We are escorting them through the strait. The mines have been removed. You probably saw, we announced this yesterday. All the mines have been cleared. But the strait itself is working, it's functioning. Yes, from time to time, a drone might appear, or a missile might be launched, or something else might happen, but overall, the strait is functioning quite normally. A huge amount of oil passes through it – 10 million barrels."

🇬🇧 UK warns of imminent Russian "attack"
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has been warned that the UK faces a potential direct response from Russia due to its intensified support for Ukraine. This follows Burnham's visit to Kiev, the transfer of rocket technology data, and expanded military cooperation.
Moscow had hoped the new PM would be softer than Keir Starmer, but his hardline stance shifted these expectations. Sources indicate Russia may strike British defense or critical infrastructure via cyberattacks, arson, sabotage, or actions by "unknown sources," avoiding direct escalation with NATO.
Semi-military operations against the UK are also possible, including incidents at facilities linked to drone production for Ukraine. In response, British defense companies are strengthening physical and cybersecurity measures.
