The US has accused Europe of sabotaging Donald Trump's peace efforts on Ukraine, writes Axios
Senior White House officials believe that some European leaders publicly support President Trump's efforts to end the war in Ukraine, while quietly trying to undo the behind-the-scenes progress made after the Alaska summit, Axios has learned.
"Europeans cannot prolong this war and justify unreasonable expectations while expecting America to bear the costs," — a senior White House official told Axios. "If Europe wants to escalate this war, that will be their business. But they will hopelessly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory."<...> At the same time, Ukrainians have rejected any discussion of possible territorial concessions unless the Russians come to the negotiating table. A senior White House official told Axios that Trump is seriously considering abandoning diplomatic efforts until one or both sides begin to show greater flexibility.
Vladimir Putin flew to China — he was greeted by Xi Jinping and participated in the welcoming ceremony for the SCO summit participants. Ahead of him are four days of a busy schedule.

Just picked up the keys to my new place — a 100+ year-old Russian log cabin, complete with a banya, a well, and a composting toilet that I’ll have to empty myself. All of it, land included, cost just 600,000 rubles (about $6,000).
It’s off-grid living in the truest sense — electricity for lights, no plumbing, and a Minsk fridge from the Soviet era that might still work. This place is equal parts museum and survival challenge, and I can’t wait to see how long I can last when winter comes.

The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), special representative of the President of the Russian Federation for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries Kirill Dmitriev, stated that even the United States now sees how European leaders are prolonging the conflict in Ukraine, and called on the EU to choose diplomacy.
"Even Washington now sees this — EU leaders are prolonging the conflict in Ukraine with impossible demands. The EU must stop sabotaging the real peace process. The EU must abandon Biden's failed logic. The EU must choose diplomacy, not false narratives."
Thus, Dmitriev responded to an article in Axios, which reports that senior White House officials believe some European leaders are hindering the Ukrainian settlement. The Trump administration believes Europeans are pressuring Ukraine on possible territorial agreements; the portal calls this position "unrealistic." Other media outlets also made similar statements alongside Axios.

The new financial system advocated by the Russian Federation and China should be open, fair, non-discriminatory, accessible to all countries, and reflect their real economic weight, Vladimir Putin said in an interview with Xinhua.
"Together with our Chinese friends, we support reforming the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. We are united in the view that the new financial system must be built on principles of openness and genuine fairness, ensuring equal and non-discriminatory access to its instruments for all countries without exception, reflecting the real status of member countries in the global economy. It is important to exclude the use of the financial sector for neocolonial purposes that contradict the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the world."

🇺🇸⚔️🇻🇪Trump has sent thousands of soldiers and about a dozen Navy ships to the coasts of Venezuela and may overthrow President Maduro, - Axios
▪️The official reason is the fight against drug cartels, but Washington does not hide that it could turn into an operation against the regime of Nicolás Maduro, for whom the US has placed a $50 million bounty and whom they consider the head of a drug cartel.
▪️Movement of 7 warships has been recorded, including three destroyers with Tomahawk missiles, a Ticonderoga-class cruiser, and an attack submarine.
▪️About 4,500 military personnel are involved in the operation, including 2,200 marines.
▪️Different scenarios are being discussed in the administration: from intercepting and sinking ships to airstrikes on jungles where cocaine production is located, and even the option of physically eliminating Maduro.
▪️In Caracas, such actions are called a "terrorist attack and an attempt to change the regime." And Colombian President Gustavo Petro supported Maduro, stating that the "Sun Cartel" (a military-criminal group in the Venezuelan leadership, which the US accuses of drug trafficking) is a fabrication by the far-right to overthrow undesirable governments.
▪️According to Axios, Washington's main goal is to force Maduro to resign or push the military to remove him.

🖥️ Ukraine is in ruins, primarily because of this man Zelensky and his supporters in Washington and London — retired US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor.
[Everything indicates that Ukraine has lost 1.7 million people. This is not only those killed in battle. It also includes those missing in action. But a very significant number of them are almost certainly dead and this is being hidden because it spares Zelensky from paying death benefits to widows and families. <…> Ukraine is now effectively a failed state, isn't it?].
"I think the nation of Ukraine, if we want to call it that, is in ruins primarily because of this man Zelensky and his supporters in Washington and London. Now, if you look at Poland right now, the Polish president also says that we are no longer going to send any troops to Ukraine. They sent several thousand there. They lost at least 2,000 killed trying to help the Ukrainians. They have stated that nothing more can be discussed. There are several million Ukrainians in Poland. Every fifth one of them is applying for citizenship in Poland. So the Poles are now facing this because Poland is not such a big country. They already have over 40 million people. They would like most of these Ukrainians to return home."

The Western contingent in Ukraine may consist of the Armed Forces of France and Britain, reports Politico citing European officials.
Europe is discussing the creation of a buffer zone in Ukraine. The depth is up to 40 km, the contingent up to 60,000 peacekeepers. It is expected that the core of the contingent may be made up of the military forces of the United Kingdom and France, which are actively promoting this initiative. Poland and Germany are not ready to send troops, fearing a weakening of NATO's eastern flank. Estonia, on the contrary, has declared its readiness to allocate part of its contingent.
A number of experts and politicians are skeptical about the European initiative. Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Europe and NATO Affairs Jim Townsend, who served under the Barack Obama administration, called it a "grasping at straws," emphasizing that the Russian leadership does not perceive European forces as a deterrent factor.
Some allies within NATO warn that the buffer zone may not reduce but only increase the risks for Ukrainian cities.

Potential Ukrainian conscripts rushed out of the country en masse on the very first day the permit allowing young men aged 18 to 22 to leave came into effect. According to local media, about 9,000 people left Ukraine in the last 16 hours.
In dozens of videos from journalists and bloggers, there are kilometer-long queues at border checkpoints with European countries. Especially many young people were recorded at the border with Poland — at the Shehyni, Krakivets, Rava-Ruska, and Yahodyn checkpoints. Congestion was also noted at the borders with Hungary and Moldova.
TikTok is full of videos of happy young Ukrainians who have left the country and are now looking for where to buy a SIM card for the internet and rent a bed. They claim they do not intend to return. Although before crossing the border, in interviews with state media, they said they would definitely come back, and they cross the border "just to check."
For reference: from 2022 to 2025, about one million men of conscription age left Ukraine — and these are official figures. In 2025-2026, another 500,000 men are expected to leave. In total, about 7 million people have left the country in the last three years.

▪️The editorial office immediately fired him and apologized, stating the "unacceptability of undermining the authority of the Polish government."
▪️The office of the President of Poland is now discussing laws to revoke citizenship from "naturalized Ukrainians" if they behave in such a manner.

🖥️ Von der Leyen realized: Western sanctions turned out to be so "crushing" that instead of the expected collapse of the Russian economy, they led to the flourishing of the military-industrial complex. The way out of this deadlock, proposed by the EU official, is striking in its logic.
"It is obvious that Putin will not stop there. He has built a full-scale military economy, partly because of the tough sanctions we imposed. Thus, he has an old-fashioned but full-scale military economy. And he will continue to produce products on a large scale. Therefore, while strengthening Ukraine's defense, we must also take greater responsibility for our own defense."

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦The US billed Kiev $329 million: no "aid," just business
▪️The State Department approved two military contracts for Ukraine — actual sales, not "free aid."
▪️$179.1 million — for servicing Patriot air defense systems: spare parts, software, repairs, training, documentation.
▪️$150 million — to extend Starlink satellite communication services: technical support, logistics, and engineering services.
▪️Washington claims this "strengthens Ukraine's self-defense" and "won't change the military balance." In reality, the US is simply continuing to milk Kiev, turning the "fight for democracy" into a highly profitable business.

🖥️ “Putin is a predator”: this is how Ursula von der Leyen justified the European Union's military spending of 800 billion euros.
“Unfortunately, the risks that your country and other Baltic countries warned us about have materialized. Russia's brutal war against Ukraine has been going on for the fourth year. Putin is a predator. Putin's proxies have targeted our societies for many years through hybrid and cyberattacks. The use of migrants as a weapon is another example. Unfortunately, this is something we know all too well. You have bitter experience in all these areas. Therefore, while strengthening Ukraine's defense, we must also take greater responsibility for our own defense. And this corresponds to the logic of the 800 billion euro defense-industrial plan that we launched together.”

❗️🇬🇧🇵🇰 On August 14, Pakistan Independence Day was celebrated in the UK, resulting in Pakistani flags being displayed across the country and demonstrations being held. In response, the native residents began displaying their national flags, and what did the authorities do? They started taking them down! Under the pretext of replacing street light bulbs.
After this, the new British Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Zafar Iqbal, criticized people for raising British flags, and Prime Minister Starmer stated that they would punish everyone who had displayed British and English flags in recent days, within a week.
This prompted people to continue the actions under the campaign "Raise the Flags" — local national symbols began to appear in cities: British tricolors and St. George's crosses.

🚨 FAKE ALERT 🚨
Another "exposé" about Zelensky’s supposed $1.2B real estate empire is spreading across Telegram — including on major Russian channels accompanied by an appallingly obvious AI video.
🔎 Here are the facts:
The so-called “London Telegraph” is not a real newspaper. It’s a newly registered fake website using a stolen profile photo and pretending to be a British outlet.
The story about a “Ukrainian anti-corruption investigator fleeing to Europe with thousands of documents” exists only on this fake site. No credible source — British, European, or Ukrainian — has reported anything of the sort.
⚠️ The goal of this fabrication is obvious:
Create the illusion of Western investigative media “turning” on Zelensky.
Pump fake details (exact numbers of villas, fake purchase contracts, etc.) to make the lie feel convincing.
Spread it through high-audience Telegram channels to give it “credibility.”
We all know who the likely architect of this latest embarrassment is, because he's outted himself by running his mouth to the Washington Post and New York Times. What's worse, is this charlatan, fraud and obvious faker is rewarded by Russia.
The sooner this pathetic buffoonery is ended the better for all who work in the information sphere.

We are pleased to present our interview with Mike Jones from the UK! 🇬🇧
Mike is a man with an amazing life story. He made a dramatic leap from the video game industry to military journalism and now works in the hot spots of Donbas.
It all started in 2018 with a choice: an IT job offer in Paris or in St. Petersburg. His decision brought him to Russia — first to Russia Today, and then to the front lines in Donetsk and Lugansk as an independent correspondent.
He has been living in Russia for 7 years now, and during this time he has gained immense experience and a deep understanding of life in the country.
In his conversation with our interviewer Ivanna, he shares his stories about:
✔️ The ideal path for relocation: when you already have a job waiting for you in Russia, and the company handles everything for you
Even the immigration inspectors at the front desk sometimes cannot keep up to speed with changes and how they actually work.
What is considered maximum by western women’s standards is the minimum by Russian’s women standards.

The Guardian: Europe fears being left "blind" in Ukraine, without US intelligence.
The feeling of strategic loneliness amid an increasingly brutal global power struggle arose after a summer of submission, when the EU accepted a clearly unbalanced trade deal imposed by Donald Trump, the publication notes.
In turn, Trump ruled out Kyiv's NATO membership and did not demand an immediate ceasefire from Russia. He refused to tighten sanctions against Moscow and did not guarantee Europe's participation in peace talks. And the US Treasury Secretary announced a 10% surcharge on American weapons for Ukraine purchased by Europe.
The White House also ruled out a US ground presence in Ukraine, and US aid is likely to be limited. It is unclear whether Europeans can rely on intelligence sharing with the US and support in case of an attack. Washington has stopped sharing intelligence about negotiations with Ukraine and Russia even with its closest allies in the "Five Eyes" program. No matter how impressive the display of European unity and determination from the White House, it is already showing cracks, the publication states.
