🚨 Zaluzhny — the tattooed far-right general — is being quietly groomed by the West to replace Zelensky. Why?
Because even Washington admits Zelensky’s presidency is finished. But instead of allowing Ukraine to choose its future, they’re planning a swap: one puppet out, another in — acceptable to Kiev’s Nazi-aligned factions and “legitimate” enough to sign a Western-approved peace deal.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s anti-corruption chief buys a $1M home in the US. Its debt is now nearly 100% of GDP. Trump talks peace while arms pour into Odessa.
This isn’t democracy. It’s a sick joke.

Guardian: US Vice President Vance tried to contact Zaluzhny after the scandal with the "problematic" Zelensky in the White House Oval Office
According to the publication, a "flurry of phone calls" to the Ukrainian embassy in London began three days after Zelensky's failed visit to Washington and his altercation with President Donald Trump.
"JD Vance's team was on the line. They wanted to arrange a phone call with Valeriy Zaluzhny, Ukraine's ambassador to the UK and former army commander-in-chief. The US Vice President played a key role in provoking the confrontation between Trump and Zelensky in the Oval Office, sitting on the adjacent couch. Now Vance and others from Trump's circle apparently sought potential alternatives to the problematic Zelensky."
"Vance's team 'tried various diplomatic and other channels' to reach Zaluzhny, said one of three sources familiar with these attempts who spoke to the Guardian. Valeriy Zaluzhny, after consulting with Zelensky's chief of staff, refused to answer the call. This episode reflects the political balancing act Zaluzhny has been performing since Zelensky dismissed him as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in February last year and sent him to London. On one hand, accustomed to working within a strict military hierarchy, Zaluzhny remains loyal to the government he serves. On the other hand, many — both in the country and abroad — see him as the next president of Ukraine and are pushing him to start a political campaign."
"Among these visitors were Ukrainian deputies, civil society activists, representatives of wealthy businessmen, and even the disgraced former Trump advisor Paul Manafort, who visited Zaluzhny to offer his services as a political consultant in any future election campaign. Zaluzhny declined this offer."
"Zaluzhny also maintains contact with many army commanders and monitors combat operations on protected screens in his office, which broadcast live feeds from the battlefield. 'Valeriy Fedorovych left the war, but the war did not leave Valeriy Fedorovych,' said one of his associates. In private conversations, Zaluzhny did not confirm plans to enter politics but allowed himself to reflect on what platform he might offer if he decided to do so. Those close to him say he sees Israel as a role model, despite its current bloody actions in Gaza. Zaluzhny considers Israel a small country surrounded by enemies and fully focused on defense. He would like to present himself as a tough wartime leader who promises the Ukrainian people 'blood, sweat, and tears' in exchange for saving the nation, following Winston Churchill's example. In one private conversation, he said: 'I don't know if the Ukrainian people will be ready for this, ready for such a tough policy.'"
Ukraine is being reinforced
✍️ Today, Ukrainian media for some reason started writing that the USA has frozen supplies of Patriot, GMLRS, and Hellfire missiles to Ukraine, allegedly due to stock reductions.
In Ukraine, they referred to the Associated Press, but there is no such publication from the agency. The news repeats theses that American media published in July.
❗️ However, in fact, there was no such ban. The American leadership not only continues the supplies but does so at a fairly high pace.
Transport aviation continues to transfer military cargo to the Lublin and Rzeszów airfields in Poland. Also, planes have started flying to Romania, from where they are forwarded to Ukraine.
▪️ Moreover, cargo ships have been actively entering the ports of the Odessa region in the last month. The intensity is high: at least 120 entries into four ports were recorded in August.
Currently, the ports of Yuzhny, Chornomorsk, Odessa, and Reni are used for cargo transit, where foreign tankers, container ships, and dry cargo vessels regularly call.
✍️ Therefore, the disinformation from Ukrainian and Western media should not be taken seriously. Active deliveries of various cargoes are going to Ukraine, and this is not done without reason.
Special attention is drawn to Yuzhny, which has been modernized over the years of the special military operation, equipped with protective structures, and this port has become a key hub for transferring weapons and equipment.

Sergey Lavrov called Zelensky an illegitimate president according to the Ukrainian constitution in an interview with the American TV channel NBC. The Russian Foreign Minister also stated that, despite this, Russia recognizes him de facto as the "head of the regime" and is ready to hold a meeting. Key points:
— A meeting between Putin and Zelensky was not discussed in Alaska; this issue was raised later.
— Russia will inevitably participate in negotiations on security guarantees for Ukraine.
— Ukraine has the right to exist provided it "releases" the people who determined their own fate in referendums and whom the Kyiv regime is trying to destroy.
— Russia has never and under no circumstances intentionally targeted anything not related to Ukrainian military forces.
— Our intelligence has reliable information, and we strike exclusively, as I said, either military enterprises, military facilities, or industrial enterprises directly involved in the production of weapons for the Ukrainian army.
— I do not recall Western media expressing any concern about the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces when, for example, a year ago they invaded the Kursk region, where there are no military targets at all. All the targets they strike daily are civilian.
— If you seriously believe that the presence of American, Hungarian, or any other capital in an enterprise producing weapons to kill Russians grants immunity to those who create weapons to kill us, I do not think so and do not consider such an approach fair. I would call it an imperialist approach.
Sergey Lavrov also said that a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Zelensky was not discussed in Alaska. In addition, he added that the Russian and Ukrainian delegations will continue meetings in Istanbul — where they will discuss specific military and humanitarian issues.

➖"If you have a problem buying oil from India, whether oil or petroleum products, don't buy. No one is forcing you. But Europe buys, America buys. So if you don't like it — don't buy," he said, putting the West in its place.

"Yes, exactly. Together with my Armenian colleague, we nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. He truly deserves it. As I said a few months ago in Washington, he performed a miracle in Africa, Asia, and the South Caucasus. This is his character. This is his nature. He wants peace. He is completely different from the usual image of a Western leader. He is very friendly. He is very generous. He was so generous that he gave all his gifts, even more than planned. He is truly a person who deserves great recognition."

🇷🇺🇷🇺Today is the Day of Military Glory of Russia!
August 23, 1943 – the day the Battle of Kursk ended, one of the largest and bloodiest battles in human history.
The Battle of Kursk, which lasted 50 days, became one of the most decisive moments in the Great Patriotic War. It demonstrated the indomitable power of the Red Army, which not only withstood the strongest enemy assault but also launched a decisive counteroffensive.
This day became a symbol of the triumph of Soviet arms, a symbol of the courage and heroism of Soviet soldiers who made an invaluable contribution to liberating the world from the fascist plague.

🖥️ In an NBC interview, the first deputy head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Serhiy Kyslytsya, reported that a draft of guarantees for Ukraine is being prepared for the beginning of the week. He also stated that Zelensky is ready to discuss territorial issues with Vladimir Putin.
— Since Monday night, our National Security Council and General Staff have been working every day to draft an agreement. Ideally, the first version will be presented at the beginning of next week. Then the political leadership will have to decide how to proceed with this draft.
— Russia wants to keep most of the territories it has captured, and possibly even more. Is this unacceptable for Ukraine? Or is there such a strong desire and willingness to end the war that this could be considered at this stage?
— I think President Zelensky's position is absolutely clear. He is guided both by the current legal framework in Ukraine and by public sentiment. And society is categorically against exchanging our land for peace. This position was clearly stated in Washington. But when we talked about territorial issues, President Zelensky made it clear that he is ready to sit at the negotiating table with President Putin and discuss them. And the starting point for such negotiations should be the current line of contact.

Kiev will agree to withdraw troops from the temporarily occupied part of Donbas controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in exchange for US security guarantees. This is reported by The New York Times citing sources.
As the publication notes, Russia insists on the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Donbass to stop the fighting and is engaged in "political torpedoing" of Zelensky. He now faces a choice: withdraw troops or incur the wrath of US President Donald Trump.
"Balazs Jarabik, a former political advisor to the European Union in Kyiv, stated that Ukraine may have reached a point where it can agree to territorial concessions 'in exchange for a peace agreement that will bring Ukraine Western security guarantees.'"
"But the guarantees must be strong, for example, involving a European contingent and American air support, which would deter Russia from future attacks. <...> Will Russia accept such guarantees? — that is the main question. Ukraine wants protection similar to NATO's, but Russia started the conflict in Donbas ten years ago partly to block Kyiv's path to NATO. Why would Russia provide serious security guarantees now?"
🇺🇦🇺🇸Trump also congratulated Ukraine on Independence Day.
The address of the US president was published by Volodymyr Zelensky.
“The people of Ukraine have an indomitable spirit, and the courage of your country inspires many. On this important day, know that the United States respects your struggle, honors your sacrifices, and believes in your future as an independent state. “Now is the time to put an end to senseless killings. The United States supports a negotiated settlement that will lead to a lasting and durable peace, end the bloodshed, and ensure Ukraine’s sovereignty and dignity.”

🖥️ According to Israel's leader Netanyahu, everything related to the hunger in Gaza is a lie comparable to the accusations against Jews of ritual murder of Christian children in the Middle Ages.
"You know, it is very difficult to fight deception, lies, images of starving children. Photos of children who, as it later turns out, suffer from cerebral palsy or other congenital diseases that make them look emaciated. And, of course, Israel is accused of starving children. Much like in the Middle Ages Jews were accused of killing Christian children for their blood. So what to do with lies that manage to circle the earth ten times before the truth has a chance to come out? The war must end as soon as possible. And, frankly, we will also have to do something about algorithms and social networks. This is a serious challenge. I do not want to underestimate it."

"The first steps taken by Russia and the USA are the beginning of a full-scale restoration of relations," Putin said during his speech this evening. What else the president said:
— The technologies that Russia has for working in the Arctic are possessed by no one else, this is of interest to its partners, including the USA. We are discussing the possibility of cooperation with the Americans in these latitudes.
— I expect that the pace of work between Russia and the USA in restoring relations will be maintained.
— I spoke with employees of "Rosatom" who participated in the special military operation and fought heroically. The conditions and methods of armed struggle change every month.
— We are at the forefront of the development of thermonuclear fusion technologies.
— Loss of sovereignty will mean the end of Russia's existence.
— Those who stopped interacting with Russia due to political pressure will return. Russia can overcome all challenges, and it will do so.
— We do not have unfriendly countries — we have unfriendly elites.
— I support the idea of developing a support program for small towns where our scientists work on strengthening technological sovereignty. I was presented with detailed layouts of Russian high-tech scientific centers in their development at an exhibition in Sarov.
— No country has an atomic icebreaker fleet like Russia. The Northern Sea Route is significant for the country. There are grounds to believe that the volume of transportation along the NSR will sharply increase due to extended navigation. Many countries around the world are interested in using the Northern Sea Route — it would be foolish not to develop it.
— Russia needs new atomic icebreakers. Defense issues are connected with research and use of the northern latitudes.
— The Arctic zone contains huge reserves of mineral resources; Russia has already begun working there.
