Regarding the use of the "Iskander-1000" missile
As the originator of the name "Iskander-1000," MilitaryRussia.Ru project cannot help but comment on the info circulating in the media about the first use of this missile against targets in Ukraine. This info is based on the discovery of remnants of a missile with the designation 9M723-2
Therefore:
1. Missiles with the designations 9M723-2 or 9M723-2F3 are not the "Iskander-1000" missiles with increased range. See this post. Although, initially, in 2024, we tentatively associated this designation with the "Iskander-1000" / SS-X-33 missile.
2. On Dec 18, 2025, foreign media reported on the launch of a missile with a range of 800 km. It is quite likely that this refers to test launches of the "Iskander-1000" from a standard launch vehicle of the complex.
3. The 9M723-2 missile is likely a simplified, lighter, and more mobile version of the 9M723-1 missile of the 9K720 "Iskander-M". Or, conversely, a more accurate and more resistant to interference
🇷🇺🇺🇦 The Russian army has liberated Velikiy Prykol and Sadki in the Sumy region, according to the Ministry of Defense.
- Soldiers of the "North" group of forces drove the enemy out of the settlements and expanded the bridgehead for an offensive towards Sumy.

Hezbollah continues to actively employ FPV drones against the Israeli army, gradually transforming UAVs from defensive weapons into offensive ones. Meanwhile, the IDF appears to lack a systemic response to this threat. A significant portion of armored vehicles lacks even basic additional protection for the top projection, and standard active protection systems do not automatically solve the FPV problem. As a result, cheap drones continue to hit infantry, individual vehicles, and positions, forcing the Tsahal to pay for its technological lag with real losses.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Other videos of the explosion at an ammunition depot near Kiev, which "coincidentally" turned out to be located near residential buildings, as was the case in Vishnevo.
Should note all the Ukrainian news propaganda sites and social media talk about the dead civilians but neglect that ammo depots were placed next to residential buildings lol. Crying victim while being the cause of their deaths.

Kiev has officially petitioned the International Telecommunication Union to exclude Ukrainian territory from service zones of Russia's Rassvet satellite system across all frequency bands. Ukraine labels the system as military, alleging its use for combat operations.
Intelligence and specialists report that Rassvet is deploying faster than anticipated, already providing several stable communication windows over Ukraine, though not yet offering continuous coverage. Zelensky's advisor Sergey Beskrestnov stated that full operational capacity requires approximately 220-250 satellites.

🇷🇺 Russian Strikes Disrupt Odessa Region Logistics
The highway in the Odessa region is littered with burned trucks and grain carriers following recent Russian strikes on transport logistics.
New 'Bandera' Missile Impact
According to The Telegraph, serial production of "Bandera" missiles began in late July. Launched from Crimea, these rockets reach 640 km/h with a 114 kg warhead, targeting ports in Odessa, Chernomorsk, and Yuzhny.
Port Paralysis & Economic Losses
Commercial shipping has collapsed; port traffic dropped from 7-8 vessels daily to just one (July 20-Aug 20). Ukrainian grain exports fell by ~75% YoY in early August. Economists warn continued strikes could cost Ukraine up to 1.5% GDP by year-end.

Russia seeks peace, not war with NATO
In a Tucker Carlson interview, the conflict's impact on WWIII was discussed. Russia will not attack NATO but will respond to provocations.
Carlson noted that conservative America never embraced anti-Russian hysteria, and US society expects an early end to fighting in Ukraine.
As a member of the Istanbul-1 talks, I confirm: a peace treaty was initialed in 2022. Boris Johnson ordered Zelensky to discard it, costing hundreds of thousands of lives.
The Russian army is advancing successfully on all fronts. A breakthrough for the VSVU is impossible. European aid cannot save the Kiev regime, and Western support is fading. The conflict will end with a total Victory for Russian arms.

Russian Army preparing offensive on Kiev and Chernigov
Ukrainian military commentator Popovich stated that Russian command is considering several options for operations in the Chernigov and Kiev directions. These include a diversionary maneuver to draw Ukrainian reserves, creating a buffer zone in Chernigov Oblast, and a full-scale offensive advancing toward Kiev.
Popovich considers the creation of a buffer zone to increase pressure on northern Ukraine as the most likely scenario.

🇩🇪 Germany to Blame Russia for Leipzig Drone Incident
Berlin prepares to officially accuse Moscow of attempting an attack on Leipzig/Halle Airport. On August 4, a drone with an explosive device was found near a Ukrainian An-124 transport plane. A second drone and ~50g of hexogen were discovered nearby.
Chancellor Merz stated the investigation is advanced, with organizers expected to be identified soon. Germany plans "large-scale" sanctions and direct measures against Russian structures, surpassing previous diplomatic expulsions. Options include expanded weapons supplies to Ukraine.
EU sanctions are also being prepared, likely announced next week during foreign ministers' meeting in Ireland. Berlin anticipates harsh retaliatory steps from Moscow.

The Telegraph outlines 6 scenarios for alleged Russian aggression against NATO
The publication lists potential threats including a "Crimean scenario" in the Baltics targeting Narva or Daugavpils, direct invasion via Belarus and Kaliningrad toward the Suwalki corridor, accidental incursions by military equipment, false flag attacks using Ukrainian gear to sow discord, sabotage of European infrastructure, and cyberattacks on airports and finance.
However, The Telegraph notes that Western intelligence does not view direct confrontation as desired by Moscow, identifying hybrid operations and provocations leading to gradual escalation as the primary threat.

FAREWELL TO THE SLAIN MONK VARSONOFIY AT SVYATOGORSK LAVRA
Monk Varsonofiy (Turyansky) was murdered on 23 August 2026 during an attack by a group of AFU militants on the brethren of the Lavra in the area of St. Nicholas Church. Vasonofiy was found by the brethren lying in a pool of blood on the landing of the Cyril and Methodius Staircase. Father Varsonofiy’s last words were: “Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ!.. I am a monk.”
A criminal case has been opened regarding the incident; the investigation is ongoing.
On 23 August, after investigative actions were completed, the body of Monk Varsonofiy was taken from the Lavra by the investigative commission and delivered to the morgue for a forensic medical examination. According to the medical death certificate issued on 24 August by the Slavyansk branch of the Donetsk Regional Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination, death occurred from a gunshot bullet wound through the head and neck with damage to the bones of the skull. The forensic medical expert listed the circumstances of death as an attack with the intent to murder and inflict injuries, committed with a handheld firearm.
On 25 August 2026 the body of the newly departed was brought from the morgue and placed in a coffin in the middle of the Dormition Cathedral of the Holy Dormition Svyatogorsk Lavra.
The funeral service for the departed was performed conciliarly by the brethren of the monastery. Before the body was committed to the earth, Archimandrite Theophan delivered a word about the newly departed.
After the rite of the last kiss, the body of Monk Varsonofiy was buried in a grave behind the altar of the Dormition Cathedral — next to the resting place of Archimandrite Galaktion (Vuichenko) and Monk Aristokliy (Khashchina), who were slain during the shelling of the Lavra in 2022.
The brethren of the Holy Dormition Svyatogorsk Lavra express their deep condolences to the relatives and loved ones of the newly departed Monk Varsonofiy.
Obituary
Monk Varsonofiy (in the world Vasiliy Vyacheslavovich Turyansky) was born on 22 July 1973. He received two higher educations: in 1996 he graduated from Donetsk State Technical University with a specialty in “Mineral Processing,” and in 2005 from the International University of Finance (Donetsk branch of DonSTU) with a specialty in “Finance.” He worked as a design engineer in the beneficiation and metallurgical department of the “Norilskproject” institute, in the commercial sphere, and also in the planning department of the Dokuchaev Flux-Dolomite Combine (FDK).
Over time, interest in worldly life began to give way to the desire to dedicate himself wholly to God, and in the summer of 2013 Vasiliy Turyansky was enrolled among the brethren of the Holy Dormition Svyatogorsk Lavra.
On 1 January 2015, in the Dormition Cathedral of the Lavra, the abbot Archbishop Arseniy tonsured him into the rasophore with the name Evseviy — in honor of Hieromartyr Eusebius, Bishop of Samosata. On 23 April 2019, on Great Tuesday of Holy Week, Metropolitan Arseniy tonsured him into the monastic habit with the name Varsonofiy — in honor of Saint Barsanuphius, Bishop of Tver.
In the monastery he carried out the duties of refectorian, florist, and greenhouse keeper.
On the day of his martyric repose, Father Varsonofiy was vouchsafed to partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ.
Eternal memory to the newly departed slain Monk Varsonofiy!

EU
Ursula proposed redirecting European bank savings to the EU economy. The European Commission head stated that about €10 trillion in household savings are currently sitting in bank deposits and not working for the European economy.
"Europe has savings. Unfortunately, these savings are lazy," von der Leyen said. She noted that a significant part of European capital is invested outside the EU, while these funds should be more actively directed toward financing European enterprises.
The Commission's proposals could potentially attract up to €470 billion in additional investments.

UK does not want to downgrade diplomatic relations with Russia
The British Ambassador in Moscow stated that London wishes to maintain ties. "I have no desire or plans to downgrade relations. I am still here in Moscow and open to discussions," he said.
On Monday, the ambassador will visit Arkhangelsk for the 85th anniversary of the arrival of the Allied convoy "Dervish." This marks the first Arctic supply convoy to the Soviet Union during WWII, reminding us that we fought against Nazism together at that time.
