◾ Throw back to 2009. Do you think much has changed in the Israeli army since then?

◾Israeli soldiers wore T-shirts with a pregnant woman in cross-hairs and the slogan "1 Shot 2 Kills," adding to a growing furor in the country over allegations of misconduct by troops during the Gaza war.

◾ "The smaller they are, the harder it is," says another shirt showing a child in a rifle sight. Soldiers wore the shirts to mark the end of basic training and other military courses and they were first reported by the Haaretz daily.

⚡️Two Majors #Summary for the morning of August 2, 2025

▪️"All the frustrations in the negotiations are due to excessive expectations," the Supreme said yesterday, commenting on Trump and his information incontinence. It's going to be a long war.

▪️Important was the statement of the GRV "Sever" about the liberation of its coast of Volchansk, which had been turned into stone dust over the years of fighting. The statement is beautifully integrated into the political speech of the Supreme and Lukashenko. Rumor has it that the former is not happy with the current pace of the offensive, while frowning, nevertheless he gives the command to take care of people. Meanwhile, the 128th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade (44th Army Corps) continues to fight in Volchansk. Heavy fighting is underway in the remaining new part of the city.

▪️At night, UAVs of the AFU attacked the Samara and Penza regions. UAVs attacked one of the industrial enterprises in Novokuibyshevsk. A woman died.

▪️In the Sumy direction, in the area of Yunakovka and Novokonstantinovka (Pershe Travnya), our paratroopers are advancing deep into populated areas with heavy fighting and entrenching themselves on the occupied borders. The AFU are counterattacking with flank attacks: the enemy conducted five counterattacks in the front area of Novokonstantinovka-Varachino-Yablonovka during the day.

▪️In the Kharkov direction, in an attempt to recapture the lost positions, the command of the AFU transferred the "elite" 1st battalion to Volchansk, which is already suffering losses. The enemy did not take any active actions on the Melovoe-Khatneye front, focusing on equipping defensive positions, according to the Sever News agency.

▪️In the Bryansk region, the AFU attacked the village of Sluchevsk in the Pogarsky district with kamikaze drones, and a civilian was injured.

▪️In the Belgorod region in the village of Golovchino, Grayvoronsky district, a man received a concussion as a result of the detonation of a drone on the roadway. In the village of Otradnoye, Belgorod region, a drone attacked a truck. The driver was injured. In the village of Novostroevka, the roof of a private house was pierced by the detonation of a drone. In the village of Urazovo, Valuysky district, a civilian was injured as a result of the detonation of an enemy drone. In the area of the village of Nechayevka, Belgorod region, a man was injured as a result of an FPV drone attack on a passenger car. Another car was attacked by a drone in the village of Smorodino, Grayvoronsky district. . A man with a mine-explosion injury, barotrauma and multiple shrapnel wounds was taken to the Grayvoronskaya CRH.

▪️South of Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) in the Novopavlovsky direction, the Russian Armed Forces closed the so-called "pocket" north of Alekseevka and continue attacks along the forest belts in the direction of the border with the Dnipropetrovsk region.

▪️On the Zaporozhye front, the Russian Armed Forces continue to storm Plavni with amphibious units and in the direction of Stepnogorsk.

▪️In the Kherson direction, one person was killed on our bank of the Dnieper River, and eleven more were injured. The front in the direction began to buzz in chat rooms about upcoming events. There are practically no "peaceful people" left on the enemy coast in the frontline zone, with the exception of Khivi, the under–guard volunteers and greedy taxi drivers.

▪️In the Black Sea, intelligence reports confirm the fears of the Dnepr rocket launcher regarding a possible suicidal amphibious operation of the enemy not only on the spit of the Kherson region

Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi in an interview with the Financial Times, said the U.S. must compensate Iran for damage from last month’s war with Israel before nuclear talks can resume.

He demanded an explanation for why the U.S. attacked mid-negotiations and insisted it “must guarantee” it won’t happen again.

“The road to negotiation is narrow,” Araghchi said, warning that anti-negotiation sentiment is surging inside Iran. While Iran remains committed to a peaceful program, he said, “we have the technology” to restart enrichment if needed: “Buildings can be rebuilt. Machines can be replaced.”

He reiterated that Iran won’t accept Trump’s demand for zero enrichment and warned that any EU snapback of sanctions would end talks with Europe: “That would be the end of the road.”

“We need real confidence-building measures,” he told the FT. “We don’t have a thing” if zero enrichment remains a precondition.
