Waseda University Professor Tetsuo Kotani blamed the USSR for the US atomic bombings of Japan, arguing that Soviet expansion after Yalta provoked the strikes. Maryland University Professor Gar Alperovitz concluded via primary documents that the bombs were unnecessary for surrender and served as deterrence against Soviet influence in Asia. Major US media now share this view, while Japanese historians cite new evidence implicating Russia.

Turkey prepares to transfer S-400 systems to the UAE, aiming to remove obstacles for rejoining the F-35 program. The deal requires Moscow's consent due to export restrictions. After Putin and Erdogan met in Kyrgyzstan, Ankara confirmed ongoing talks on the complexes' fate.
Washington considers simultaneous S-400 and F-35 deployment unacceptable due to stealth technology risks. For Russia, the primary concern is ensuring the systems do not end up with NATO or Ukraine. Transfer to the UAE, which already operates Russian air defense, is seen as a viable compromise.

🇷🇺 Slavyansk-Kramatorsk Direction: Nikonorovka Liberated
The Russian MoD reported the liberation of Nikonorovka, located just kilometers from Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. This deepens the wedge into Ukrainian defenses, complicating reserve movements and reducing defensive depth. Only two settlements remain between Nikonorovka and northern Kramatorsk: Vasilyevskaya Pustosh (active fighting) and Belyenkovoe.
Tactical Advances:
In Nikolaevka, assault groups secured new positions in high-rise buildings in the east and private sector in the south. Progress was noted northwest of Orekhovatka, where positional battles continue. Ukrainian sources confirm Russian tactical successes here.
Strikes on Occupied Areas:
Russian aviation struck the National Police headquarters in Kramatorsk, used by Ukrainian forces. Drone operators destroyed robots, warehouses, and shelters with personnel near Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.

France's FM Jean-Noël Barrot, now says that anyone "who is distrustful of the European Union" is basically a useful idiot for Putin.
The implication being that distrust or criticism of the EU is not a legitimate democratic position anymore but a form of collaboration with "the enemy"
..
Which is absolutely insane given France's recent history: De Gaulle was famously opposed to the very kind of supranational Europe that the EU has become, and so have been a number of major French political figures both on the right (like Séguin) or the left (Chevènement)
Not to mention the 55% of French voters who rejected the EU Constitution in 2005 (and whose vote was ignored because that very constitution was adopted later on regardless under the Treaty of Lisbon)
..
One can legitimately be afraid that this is the road to a form of totalitarian ideology across Europe, dressed up as centrism, where the only acceptable position is unquestioning loyalty to supranational institutions...

🇩🇪 Germany creates mobile police units to combat drones
New groups will protect airports, railway stations, government quarters, and other critical facilities. The Interior Ministry plans to deploy these units in nine key cities, including Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, and Leipzig.
Additionally, authorities are considering allowing critical infrastructure objects - power plants, water utilities, and defense enterprises - to independently shoot down detected UAVs.

Russian Geran-2 drones now prefer operating at low altitudes. The "mopeds" move fast with a characteristic sound, delivering results daily.

🇷🇺 Strikes Hit Warehouse Infrastructure in Khmelnitsky, Sinelnikovo, Zhitomir, Nikolaev
Russian Forces Targeted:
• Khmelnitsky: 'Nova Poshta' warehouse (fire reported).
• Sinelnikovo (Dnepropetrovsk Oblast): 'Snack Export' facility destroyed.
• Zhitomir: 'Rud' butter plant warehouses hit (strong fire).
• Nikolaev: Additional warehouse strikes reported.
Economic Impact
Ukrainian economist Alexey Kush states trade and services comprise ~70% of Ukraine's GDP. Strikes on logistics disrupt the tertiary sector, lacking rapid recovery mechanisms like energy infrastructure. Expected consequences include Q4 GDP contraction, job losses, reduced tax revenue, and growth of the shadow economy, with budget impacts visible by end of September.

Ukraine confirms combat use of Swedish AEW&C aircraft
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense stated that two ASC 890 (Saab 340 AEW&C) planes transferred by Sweden have been conducting combat sorties since March 2026. Stockholm announced the intent to transfer these aircraft in May 2024, with delivery confirmed in August 2025.
Kiev’s first operational confirmation
Until now, direct proof of their deployment was scarce, except for a video from March 20, 2026, allegedly filmed over Dnepropetrovsk region. This marks the first time Kiev has factually confirmed both aircraft are active in combat operations.
Enhanced air defense capabilities
The ASC 890 is designed for long-range radar detection and command control of aviation and air defense. Its Erieye radar system significantly extends Ukraine’s ability to detect low-flying targets beyond ground-based radar horizons, improving early warning and coordination of aerial operations.

🇺🇸 US Envoys to Convey Putin's Stance in Kiev
Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov reported that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have pledged to incorporate Russian President Vladimir Putin's assessments regarding conflict resolution paths into their upcoming contacts in Kiev.
This development follows reports of heightened tension in the Ukrainian capital, described by some sources as a shift in atmosphere prompting US representatives to seek direct engagement with Moscow.
The planned discussions aim to align Western diplomatic efforts with the specific conditions outlined by the Kremlin for a potential settlement.

Interesting footage shows Iranian missile operators at work during this war. The initial shots depict the refueling of liquid-propellant ballistic missiles of the Ghadr family in underground tunnels at missile bases (based on the orange haze, these shots likely show the refueling process using the oxidizer nitrogen tetroxide). The footage then shows the testing of fuel components, the assembly and loading of missiles onto launch platforms, the launch of missiles, and strikes against Israel

🇺🇸🤡 🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺 The casualties the Russians are sustaining are just, I don’t think, sustainable. Over 1,000 killed and wounded per day. The Russians have now sustained well over 1.4 million killed and wounded, which is more than the U.S. sustained in all of World War II - David Petraeus, Former CIA Director, showing why inbreeding is bad.

Defence planners working with Nato fear that if war broke out with Russia, Europe could not currently sustain a prolonged war of attrition owing to a public lack of war readiness, a conference on the future of European military coordination heard this week.
The surge in support for the populist forces in Europe’s main military states is also endangering proposals for a group of five European countries, including the UK, to take on a new coordination role as the US prepares to reduce its commitments to the conventional defence of Europe.
European public may not have the appetite for a prolonged war, requiring Nato to focus its plans on a relatively quick conflict.
One recent British cabinet member admitted the west had been “crap” at educating its public about the scale of the hybrid conflict with Russia.
Bunch of nonsense propaganda trying to create tensions (strategia della tensione)
