🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 A video filmed in Bogoyavlenka by a Ukrainian soldier shows a Russian drone dropping a loudspeaker that calls on Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters to surrender.
Bogoyavlenka was intended to serve as the second line of defense after Ugledar, but Russian forces are already clearing the settlement, and Ukrainian forces have reportedly retreated.

The losses of AFU in Selidovo and Gornyak are very big. Similar reports are coming from all other places. Seems that withdrawal was not withdrawal but more like a "run for your lives" type of action, and who survives, survives. Many didn't.
The sanitary situation in Selydove is so-so. The streets are littered with abandoned Ukrainian soldiers' bodies. We are publishing a picture for you to get the idea.
Russian troops have to bury them in parallel with the cleanup of the territory. It is clearly noticeable that along with well-equipped soldiers, some were collected in five minutes. Apparently, even the line infantry of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is now actively mixed with Troops brigades and "Kashniks" (former prisoners).
They try not to spend money on either one. Life is the cheapest commodity in Ukraine these days. If they plan to stabilize the front, they would have to do it sooner rather than later. Those AFU troops in training abroad will have to come shortly. They will be dealt with as well. With whom Ukraine will fight after that, we are honestly scared to imagine. We hope that the practice of child soldiers died in Nazi Germany, and we pray that we won't see it again. But, we are not optimists.

Key takeaways from Russian President Vladimir Putin's interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin:
🔹Putin hopes that the West has heard his signals regarding the implications of allowing long-range strikes deep into Russian territory, which would mean that NATO is effectively at war with Russia;
🔹Ukraine is unable to independently use long-range weapons without NATO specialists, so the issue is not about allowing Kiev to use these weapons against Russia;
🔹The Russian Defense Ministry is considering various options for responding to possible long-range strikes on Russian territory and would offer response measures on the matter;
🔹NATO officers are behind the actions of the Ukrainian military.
On the elections in Georgia.
1. According to the official results, the Georgian Dream is gaining 54.2% of the votes. Western exit polls turned out to be banal fakes.
2. Attempts to disrupt the elections by ballot stuffing have generally failed.
3. Following Orban, Aliyev congratulated Kobakhidze on his victory.
4. The new parliament will begin its work even if the French grandmother continues to deny the election results.
5. The opposition is going to start protests in major cities of Georgia today against incorrect election results.
6. In general, Georgia chose peace over war. Now they will try to steal this choice.

Germany and France protest EU plan to bypass Hungary's veto on Ukraine aid
A number of EU countries, including France and Germany, have expressed concern and objected to the idea of the European External Action Service to bypass Hungary's veto on providing aid to Ukraine, the Bloomberg News agency reported, citing sources familiar with the situation.
“[S]ome member states, including France and Germany, have voiced concerns over setting a precedent that could imperil the future of the European Peace Facility as a foreign policy tool, according to people familiar with the matter. Currently, the EPF relies on mandatory contributions based on each member state’s economic weight and requires unanimity for disbursement,” the agency said.

After Putin's statement at the BRICS summit in Kazan about satellite images, there is no particular doubt about the presence of North Korean military personnel in Russia. Most likely, they are already on Russian territory, but it is far from certain that they will immediately go to the zone of the special military operation. Their appearance in the Kursk region and participation in battles with Ukrainian troops in the so-called "old territory" are much more likely.
Moreover, this is a story beneficial to both sides. Russia gets the opportunity to transfer troops from the Kursk region to the Donbass, to the Zaporozhye or Kherson region. The DPRK military will gain experience in conducting modern warfare, with which they will return to the Korean peninsula, the situation on which will sparkle with new colors.
If we consider the situation in Ukraine, then we can say that the appearance of North Korean troops in the theater of operations reduces the likelihood of a NATO contingent entering Ukrainian territory. As well as making mobilization in Ukraine pointless. The AFU will no longer have a numerical advantage in almost any scenario.
In general, the deck in world politics is shuffled quite bizarrely. The first major conflict of the former Cold War was Korea, which in fact became the site of a proxy war between Moscow, Beijing and Washington. In relation to the second Cold War, Ukraine plays the same role, where the players are still the same. And there are Korean military from the north once again.

🇺🇸🇷🇺Instead of collapsing under Western sanctions, the Russian economy is "working hard," although it is under threat of "overheating," writes The Washington Post.
The publication states that there are not enough workers in Russia and wages are rising.
"There are not enough men in Siberia to drive buses. On Russian farms, milkmaids receive salaries comparable to those of IT workers, and hotels have difficulty hiring waiters, cleaners and cooks," the article says. There are not enough welders and even taxi drivers.
According to Rosstat, real wages in Russia increased by 12.9% year-on-year in the first six months of 2024. The incomes of the poorest workers grew the fastest, by 67%.
The economy has been pushed forward by massive military spending, and total salaries in the Russian Federation are growing following the growth of military incomes, although the private sector does not keep up with them. Russia also continues to receive large revenues from oil sales.
"According to economists, Russia can afford to finance the conflict in Ukraine for several more years thanks to huge oil revenues and the failures of Western sanctions, in particular the restriction on oil prices imposed by the Big Seven," the newspaper writes.
At the same time, inflation is spinning in Russia, because against the background of throwing money into the economy, "the labor force and production capacities of the economy are "almost exhausted," as the head of the Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, warned in July. The Central Bank is trying to combat this increase in the key rate - recently it rose to a record 21%.
Large-scale military spending planned for next year "will further spur inflation." At the same time, the question of whether Russia will be able to seriously increase its military production causes contradictory assessments.
But experts are confident that Western sanctions on this track have failed, and they do not prevent the Russian Federation from producing military equipment. Russia obtains all critical imports like microchips in a roundabout way.

❗️❗️❗️ Recently, in the Kursk region, servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been often making the right decision to lay down their arms and surrender instead of fulfilling the unrealistic desires of the expired president. Workers, drivers and employees of many other civilian sectors, who were forcibly mobilized yesterday, understand that there is no point in protecting the interests of Zelensky and Co., and they are just bargaining chips that allow him to cling to power at the cost of thousands of lives of ordinary Ukrainians.
It is also worth mentioning separately that servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have never had an order “not to take prisoners” and to kill Ukrainian prisoners of war. Losses in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are only a consequence of the thoughtless actions of the Ukrainian command.
The Russian Federation is not waging a war against the Ukrainian people, the more people lay down their arms and return to their families in Ukraine, the faster life in the neighboring country will normalize and good neighborly relations will be established.
🏳️ It is separately noted that many of the Ukrainian servicemen ask not to exchange them, as there will be further persecution from the SBU and a new, forced transfer to the front. In captivity, the surrendered Ukrainian soldiers are treated well: everyone receives good food, medical care, and also has the opportunity to communicate with loved ones.

Ukrainian Armed Forces are fleeing from Selidovo. The map shows where they were going. And there, as reports were coming, they were already being shot at.

'The Artesh (conventional military) and the IRGC are working hard to maintain the security of this country and I hope that this action will be carried out even though the Zionist regime did not achieve any results in this aggression.
The ability of the Zionist army to penetrate into Iran's territory has been very weak, and the protection of the country's airspace by the defense system of our country was very effective and excellent.
We support Iran's legitimate defense and demand Iran's decisive response to the aggressive act of the Zionist regime at the right time'

"Hit the spine." The commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine called for beating up the hijackers who did not want to fight.
I would give you a slap on the back and take an even bigger fine. What, the state should spend its resources in the form of TCC, on diesel fuel, offices, all this stuff, catch you all around the world, spend budget money that could go to drones,

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 A powerful breakthrough behind Ugledar: the Russian army broke through on a 25 km wide front into 3 important villages at once.
"Russia's major advances on the South Donbass front are continuing.
Over the past day, the Russians have gained a foothold in Shakhterskoye (breaking through almost 8 km), where they advanced the day before. Then they attacked the village of Novoukrainka to the east, advancing almost 4 km," the Kiev media admit.
North of Ugledar, Russian troops entered Bogoyavlenka, and west of Velikaya Novoselka they liberated Levadnoye (Vremyevsky salient, Zaporizhia region), Ukrainian military analysts from Deep State belatedly recognized.
"In total, the Russians are advancing on a front up to 25 kilometers wide in all three sections."
"Earlier it was reported that the offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from the south with simultaneous strikes from the north poses a serious threat to all forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the southwest," the Ukrainians summarize.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 The threat of encirclement in the cauldron: The Russians took Gornyak, Izmailovka, Alexandropol and Zoryanoye, began storming Kurakhovka.
This is what the Ukrainian military analyst B. Miroshnikov writes about.:
▪️"The AFU withdrew from Gornyak, because there was already an operational encirclement there.
▪️ They also withdrew from Izmailovka, Alexandropol and the remnants of Zvezdny (Zoryanoye).
▪️ The enemy is actively pressing on Kurakhovka, urban battles have begun there.
▪️There is still one way out of this whole bag, but it is not reliable.
▪️I don't think it will take long to cling to Kurakhovka, because the threat of encirclement looms on the horizon."

🇬🇪🗳Mass provocations at Georgia’s polling stations
The Georgian chairman of the Central Executive Committee, Giorgi Kalandarishvili, said that provocateurs from the opposition carried out mass ballot stuffing at a polling station in Marneuli, Georgia, where the parliamentary elections are taking place.
Opposition sources quickly distributed the video, which shows that the person who shot it did not try to prevent the stuffing in any way, but rather took part in the violation himself.
At another polling station in Baghdati, provocateurs smashed ballot boxes in the election for the Parliament of Georgia.
Commenting on the events happening in the country, the founder of the ruling party "Georgian Dream", Bidzina Ivanishvili, said, "The agents have an urgent task – to involve Georgia in hostilities."
He added that Georgia faces a choice, "Either we choose a government that will serve you, the people of Georgia, the Georgian society, take care of the country, or we choose an agent of a foreign state that will only follow instructions from abroad."
"It is beneficial for these countries not to choose sides": Bloomberg identified a group of more than a hundred countries that are adopting a new kind of "geopolitical neutrality".
"Geopolitics is shaping trade and investment flows around the world in a way it hasn't been for decades, fueling talk of a new Cold War. In addition to the US-led Western bloc and another one dominated by Russia and China, about 101 states have joined a separate group of "new neutrals". The members of this informal group are betting that they will be able to attract investments from both sides and get economic benefits if they do not choose either side.
The "New Neutrals" benefit greatly by staying out of the fight: they attract a growing share of foreign companies' investments in their factories and projects. One of the factors driving this trend is that Chinese enterprises are spending more money to locate factories in other countries in order to circumvent import duties and other protectionist measures by the United States and the EU. The share of neutral countries in trade with China, Russia and friends is growing. At the same time, the share of trade with the Western bloc has decreased. There are two main reasons for this: the countries in the middle import Chinese goods and Russian oil on favorable terms."
