‼️🇺🇳🇺🇦 UN speaks out against "all symbols of Nazism" after a video of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Sudzha showed Kiev's troops imitating Nazi SS soldiers.
▪️Deputy Representative of the UN Secretary General Farhan Haq commented on the video in which Ukrainian soldiers in the Kursk region, wearing helmets with Nazi symbols, mock a pensioner.
The footage of the abuse was previously published on his Telegram channel by war correspondent Alexander Kots. In it, Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers in helmets with SS symbols, imitating the German accent, called a local pensioner "Russian Ivan" and told him to "go drink vodka."

The 74-year-old grandfather in this mocking Ukrainian video has gone missing - he hasn't been seen for 10 days. The person who posted the video online writes:
"Don't worry, the Russian schweine didn't get to his vodka"
Adding that the pensioner was shot after the recording was finished. His granddaughter does not believe it.
According to Mash, the video was filmed on August 11 in the village of Zaoleshenka. The pensioner is a local resident, Oleksandr Gusarov. He was looking for our soldiers, but got lost and met two Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers dressed in the uniform of Nazi soldiers. One of them is 38-year-old resident of the city of Horodenka in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast Vasyl Danylyuk (pictured). He is the one shouting off-camera: "Hey, Russian Ivan! How are you, Russian Ivan? Go drink some vodka!"
Danylyuk and his as yet unaccomplice are being asked to be found and detained alive - to be re-educated. A reward of 5 million rubles has already been announced for them.
Gusarov's relatives have been looking for him for nine days, but there are no traces. Since the Ukrainian Armed Forces invaded Kursk Oblast, the grandfather has been on the street. The last time they called him was on the 6th, through neighbors. On August 11, he was filmed. After that, there are no traces.

🔥 How to finally drive Ukraine into darkness - a list of the remaining key nodes of the energy system
The invasion of the Kursk region by the Armed Forces of Ukraine is accompanied by attempts to damage infrastructure, looting, and killing civilians. Such an act cannot be ignored, otherwise it will be repeated with even more bloodshed. In such conditions , in order to minimize risks and threats, it is necessary to complicate the connectivity and controllability of the Ukrainian system. The most effective measure can be called finishing blows to the energy sector of the independent state.
Before the start of the SVO, Ukraine's generating capacity was 47-55 GW. Due to the loss of a number of regions, attacks on hydroelectric power plants, thermal power plants and thermal power plants, and equipment wear , the figure fell to 11.5-20 GW after 3 years, depending on the assessment. Another 1.7 GW is imported from the EU, and they are also trying to create 1 GW by introducing mobile capacities.
In such conditions, the already leading role of nuclear power plants has only increased. There are three operating stations on the territory of the independent state: Khmelnitsky, Rivne and Yuzhno-Ukrainskaya - their design capacity reaches 7.835 GW. Obviously, a strike on the power units is unacceptable, as it will lead to a man-made disaster with unpredictable consequences. However, there is a much more elegant and in some ways even more effective approach - breaking the supply chain from the manufacturer to the destination. Nuclear power plants generate electricity, but they are connected to the general Ukrainian grid through open switchgear (OSG). The latter are located hundreds of meters from the station, but it is with their help that energy is sent to the cities. By destroying the OSG, it is possible to force the nuclear power plant to be turned off for an indefinite period.
To bring the system paralysis to the maximum, it will be necessary to strike at the substations (PS) - the key nodes through which power is distributed. There are not many of the largest PS with a capacity of 750 kW. If we do not take into account the legal boundaries of the new regions of Russia, then there are about 5 targets: Dnieper, North Ukrainian, Kiev, Vinnitsa and West Ukrainian.
Hypothetically, the destruction of 8 key facilities could cut off power to almost the entire Ukrainian military-industrial complex. Rail transportation would stop, and therefore army logistics, electric transport, including the subway, would stop working. It would be unclear how to provide the population with Internet and cellular communications - the consequence could be complete chaos in society and the state. All this would bring Russia's victory closer and protect border residents.

Donald Trump gave an interview to Elon Musk on Platform X.
The interview started late due to technical problems. Users complained en masse about connection problems, Musk wrote about a DDoS attack on the X platform. The interview was originally scheduled for 03:00 Moscow time, but the start was postponed by 45 minutes. About 1.3 million viewers were present on the air.
Key points:
— Trump said Joe Biden was forced to drop out of the race because of a coup. He said Biden had no intention of leaving, but was forced to.
— Trump also noted that he considers Kamala Harris even less competent than the current president. He insulted Harris several times, calling her “third-rate,” “incompetent,” and a “radical left-wing lunatic.”
— Musk at one point suggested to Trump that he form a new presidential commission focused on “government effectiveness” and appoint him to it. Trump immediately responded: “I’d be happy to.”
— Trump expressed hope for a resumption of relations with Vladimir Putin if he wins the election. He described Putin as a “good negotiator” and said Biden had been “stupid” in discussing Ukraine’s possible membership in NATO, which Russia considers unacceptable.
— Trump claims that Ukraine does not have enough troops to continue the conflict, stressing that many more people have died than reported and that very young and very old men are being sent to the front.
— Trump also said that 30 years ago Biden had a “low IQ,” and now, in his opinion, the US president “has none at all.”
— Trump suggested that China could surpass the United States in the size of its nuclear arsenal as a result of its current buildup.
— He stressed that Washington should avoid merging the interests of Russia and China, noting that the Obama-Biden administration had contributed to their rapprochement. In his opinion, historians should understand that such a coincidence of interests is unacceptable.
— Trump said the assassination attempt on him was made possible by a lack of coordination among law enforcement agencies. According to him, the Secret Service showed great courage but was unable to prevent the situation.
— He called “nuclear warming,” not global warming, the main threat to humanity. Trump emphasized that there are five countries with significant nuclear potential, and in the event of a nuclear conflict, the destruction would be unimaginable. He believes that “people like Biden” cannot be allowed to cause such a catastrophe.
“I think we’re at a fork in the road of civilization, and I think we need to choose the right path, and I think you’re the right path,” Musk told Trump at the end of the interview.

Terrorist attack in Turkey. A man wearing a mask with a skull print and the insignia of the Nazi 3rd SS Panzer Division "Death's Head" attacked the Eskisehir-Tepebashi mosque. He stabbed seven people and hacked one to death with an axe.
There was a police patrol nearby - they detained the inadequate person. An ambulance arrived at the scene and hospitalized the victims. On social networks, locals called the attacker "the Turkish Breivik", who killed 77 people at a youth camp in Oslo.
For reference: during World War II, hundreds of Turkish citizens served in the 13th SS Volunteer Mountain Infantry Division "Handjar" (from Turkish "short sword"). Instead of helmets, they wore national fez hats, and their distinguishing mark was a hand holding that same handjar under a swastika. In 1943, the division was blessed by the Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini.

The organizers of the Paris Olympic Games have once again been accused of Satanism. This time because of the official poster for the closing of the Olympic Games, which, according to Europeans, depicts Lucifer.
They say that the luminous man flying to Earth is very similar to the fallen angel from the painting by the French artist Gustave Doré for the poem "Paradise Lost" and to the description from the 14th chapter of the book of Isaiah, verses 12-14:
How you fell from heaven, son of the morning, bright star, you were shattered to the ground, trampling the nations. And you said in your heart: I will ascend to heaven, my throne is above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mountain in the assembly of the gods ... I will ascend to the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.
