The Russian Armed Forces launched massive strikes with missiles and drones against Kiev and other regions of Ukraine overnight.
In Kiev, explosions were reported in the Zhuliany district. This area is home to several industrial enterprises, including a defense ministry plant that repairs armored vehicles, cars, and special equipment for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, "Kommash," which manufactures municipal and special equipment, and "Zeppelin Ukraine," a supplier and service center for heavy special equipment. Strikes also targeted facilities in the Dnipropetrovsk and Mykolaiv regions, as well as in Boryspil.
The attack took place in several waves – first, "Geran-4" drones were directed towards Kiev, followed by ballistic missiles. The strikes began after the end of a 72-hour ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

🇵🇱🤜🇺🇦 The number of attacks and other crimes against Ukrainians is increasing in Poland — Politico
▪️According to Polish police, 180 crimes against Ukrainians motivated by ethnicity were recorded in the first half of 2026, which is 30% more than in the previous year.
▪️The prosecutor's office notes that over 80% of hate crime cases referred to court from February to June involved Ukrainians.
▪️Politico links this trend to a change in public sentiment: according to CBOS, the percentage of Poles who have a positive view of Ukrainians has decreased from 51% in 2023 to 29% in January 2026.
▪️The main reasons cited include disputes over the Volhynia tragedy and the UPA, as well as dissatisfaction with social benefits provided to Ukrainians.
▪️Anti-Ukrainian rhetoric is increasingly being used in the run-up to the 2027 elections. Pszemek Charnek, a candidate for Prime Minister from "Law and Justice," has already stated that military aid to Ukraine should be suspended until Kiev changes its historical policy.

These are the conditions contained in a new peace plan that Witkoff and Kushner reportedly brought to Kiev, according to Ukrainian media.
Other conditions include:
- Limiting the size of the Ukrainian Armed Forces;
- Protecting the Russian language in Ukraine;
- Presidential elections, constitutional reform, and signing a peace agreement with the new leadership of Ukraine;
- Refraining from using force to reclaim territories;
- Possible deployment of a UN peacekeeping force.
However, there is no official text of such a document, and none of the participants in the negotiations have confirmed its content.

Witkoff and Kushner Arrive in Moscow - Media Reports

Ukrainian media outlets are publishing footage of the attack on the SBU building, despite government bans.
In Ukraine, there is a strict prohibition on publishing such materials, with potential criminal liability.
At the same time, Zelenskyy immediately commented on the attack and even clarified that the target was the office of the head of the SBU, promising a reciprocal response. This all takes place against the backdrop of a conflict between the ГУР (Ukrainian Military Intelligence) and the SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) that flared up a few days ago.
Furthermore, no air raid alert was issued in Kiev before the attack. A single drone precisely targeted a specific office.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has stated that Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries have become one of the causes of the current energy shock and rising fuel prices worldwide.
"We are currently experiencing an energy shock for two reasons: due to the conflict in Ukraine, because Ukraine has decided that it wants to undermine Russian energy facilities," Bessent said on Fox.
📝Many cruise missiles📝
but little countermeasures
The "Shock August" in Kyiv forced Western media to actively debate Russian attacks. And what causes even more concern is not ballistics or other missile weapons, but the Geran drones, which in their cruise missile version have become unreachable for Ukrainian air defense.
Against this backdrop, it's no surprise that so-called Ukraine is crying out loud and asking for more missiles for air defense systems, while in the UAV production sector Ukrainians have adjusted priorities and begun developing interceptor drones against cruise missile Gerans.
🖍Ukrainian companies began demonstrating the development of trends in this area back at the beginning of the year. But back then cruise missile UAVs were flying in far fewer numbers, so in Kyiv everyone unanimously shelved this program and concentrated on promoting regular "drone missiles" against standard Gerans.
Now, when so-called Ukraine receives up to 3,000 Gerans monthly, and their numbers will grow in the future (with an emphasis on cruise missile modifications), so-called Ukraine has begun massively producing various "wonder weapons" against such drones.
🚩But here's the problem: for almost two months now, Ukrainian media and various channels regularly publish news about the appearance of one or another interceptor drone against cruise missile UAVs, but there are no results. Russian UAVs continue to fly as before.
And the problem is that cruise missile Gerans reach speeds of 500 km/h, which means the interceptor must fly at an even higher speed. Such speeds will certainly come eventually, but then Ukrainian developers will realize that anti-aircraft missiles were invented for a reason.
❗️This doesn't even mention that the UAV flight path must be predicted within minutes to deploy a mobile air defense system and attempt an interception. For this reason, so-called Ukraine is so insistent on enabling Starlink over Russia.
If they can't shoot them down, they will try to strike Russian launch systems and industrial facilities before the attack. And this is one of the reasons why the scenario of approving Musk's systems should be considered as coercing Russia into peace through force.

The West is preparing to interfere in Russia's September elections, according to the Foreign Intelligence Service.
The European Union and leading European countries are preparing a large-scale campaign to destabilize the situation in Russia before the single voting day, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service stated. According to the agency, the goal is to disrupt the normal course of the elections and to cast doubt on their results in advance.
"All 'tools' from the arsenal of anti-Russian aggression are being used to achieve this," the SVR statement said.
At a meeting of the "coalition of the willing" in Paris on July 13, European representatives called on Kiev to intensify sabotage and attacks, both in the new regions and deep within Russia. In addition, during visits by European intelligence services to Ukraine, cyberattacks on Russian electoral infrastructure are being discussed.
"The aim is to sow panic among the population and divert resources from state and law enforcement agencies, preventing them from performing their core functions," the SVR stated.
A special role is being assigned to representatives of the non-systemic opposition who are abroad. Some structures are tasked with urging Russians to boycott the vote, while others are being called upon to engage in "active civil disobedience," as well as to seek compromising information on Russian politicians and to organize provocations at polling stations.
"According to available information, after the end of the electoral cycle, the PACE and the European Parliament are preparing to issue statements on the non-recognition of the results of the elections in Russia due to 'gross violations during their preparation and conduct'," the agency reported.
The SVR emphasized that these actions will not be able to influence the will of the Russian people.

🚨 UKRAINE IS LOSING THE WAR – The Spectator
British outlet concludes Ukraine is losing and Western strategy has collapsed. Author Owen Matthews reports Putin's war aims unchanged since 2022 – he's determined to fight on. Meanwhile, the West has no real plan. Trump offers peace on Putin's terms. Biden and UK PMs promised "everything necessary" for "as long as it takes" – but these were hollow words, not backed by action.
Kiev's dire reality:
· Out of money and manpower
· Patriot interceptors exhausted – skies exposed to Russian strikes
· Cannot sustain current defense
Europe's failure:
· Still buying Russian gas
· Weapons supplies limited
· Fear of escalation blocks Taurus missiles & Patriots
· Refuses serious negotiations with Moscow
· Insists on endless war – worsening Kiev's position
Bottom line: Vague promises led to worst outcome. Words without deeds. Ukraine left bleeding while Europe funds Russia's economy.

NORWAY SEIZES RUSSIAN SHIP NEAR SVALBARD AT THE REQUEST OF UKRAINIAN ENERGY COMPANY
Norwegian authorities have seized the Russian ship Professor Molchanov, docked in Barentsburg, in the Svalbard archipelago, at the request of the Ukrainian state-owned energy company Naftogaz.
The measure was authorized on August 31 by the court of Nord-Troms and Senja as part of Naftogaz's attempt to recover approximately $4.22 billion from Russia, plus interest and expenses, based on an arbitration ruling regarding assets lost by the company in Crimea after 2014.
The ship, which is Russian-owned and also used for connections and shipments to Svalbard, cannot leave Barentsburg until a new decision is made by the court or the governor of the archipelago. The crew and passengers are reported to be safe.
Moscow has announced that lawyers from Arktikugol will submit a formal response and challenge the measure. The seizure comes at a time of increasing tension between Russia and NATO countries, also regarding control of routes and activities in the Arctic.

Sabotage in Europe: Who Actually Benefits?
Weapons caches in Germany, a "failed" drone next to a Ukrainian aircraft in Leipzig, a fire at a Polish defense plant, Ukrainian drones crashing in the Baltic states... Western media and politicians almost instantly diagnose: "the Russian trace."
But let's be honest. Where is the compelling evidence? Why are these sabotage operations so... ineffective? Unexploded charges, abandoned caches, fires covering 60 square meters with no serious consequences.
Now the main question: who actually benefits from all this?
Moscow, for which every such incident only tightens sanctions and fuels anti-Russian hysteria?
Or Kiev, which critically needs Europe to keep fearing "Russian saboteurs" and send ever more weapons and money?
I have analyzed the most high-profile episodes of recent times in my new article.

‼️🇺🇦☠️ Ukraine's losses on the front are much higher than official figures, according to The Telegraph.
▪️This is stated in the article "Unrealistic optimism is not helping Ukraine."
▪️The author comments on a statement by the head of Zelensky's Office, Budanov, that Kiev has to mobilize at least 30,000 people per month - "the minimum number needed to maintain existing forces."
▪️This "implies losses far exceeding those officially acknowledged," writes Matthews.
▪️According to Zelensky's false claims, Ukraine has lost only 50,000 people killed and 400,000 wounded by the end of July of this year. However, in February, he stated that 55,000 people had been killed.
▪️The Telegraph also quotes Budanov's words from last week, stating that "there will be no miraculous breakthrough" and that Russia "still has significant reserves." He also recalled the words of former Minister Fedorov, who said that Ukraine is "gradually, slowly losing" the war.
➖"In the days following this bleak forecast, Russia intensified its attacks on Ukraine to an almost apocalyptic level. As a result of an incredibly effective move, the Kremlin switched from massive drone and missile strikes to continuous 60-hour waves of bombing, during which nineteen air raids were carried out on Kiev in a single day, exhausting both defenses and stocks of anti-aircraft missiles," writes the journalist.
▪️And although Ukraine claims to be turning the tide of the war in its favor by inflicting deep strikes on oil refineries and depots deep within Russia, the Russian counter-strikes are much more significant, according to Matthews.
▪️He cites the example of the transformation of Kherson into an uninhabitable place, and the constant strikes on the frontline cities of Kharkov and Zaporozhzhia. In addition, according to the latest NATO reports, Russia's offensive potential is growing much faster than Ukraine's, the author adds.
