Well to be honest he didn’t say that he would lift the sanctions if he is elected but he showed the signs that he wants to lower the sanctions. It isn’t good…

"If it's stabilization, then I'm a ballerina"
The commander of the 47th OMBr company, Melnyk, does not believe that the situation in the Pokrovsky direction has stabilized, as Sirskyi noted.
Indeed there is a breakthrough of the Ruzzian army towards south. They are stabilised a little in the western direction towards Pokrovsk town itself.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stated that Ukraine has its own long-range strike capabilities that exceed the range of ATACMS or Storm Shadow missiles. He noted that Russia has moved its aircraft beyond the reach of ATACMS, and the focus is on helping Ukraine defend its territory more effectively.

Ок, and that what she wrote 5 minutes ago. Seems like Girkin is not going anywhere:
⚡️ The information that Igor Strelkov is leaving the colony and going to the SVO is not true and is fake. Igor Ivanovich's defense and his family do not have such information.
As a Russian officer and patriot, Igor has repeatedly stated his desire to serve the Fatherland. But, I emphasize, there is no information about the possibility of sending him to the front at the moment, and his "extremist" article does not suggest such a possibility.
I urge you to remain calm and be critical of the rumors being spread. As soon as there are any changes in my husband's case, I will promptly inform you about it.
Igor Girkin-Strelkov leaves prison and goes to war with Ukraine — pro-Kremlin channel Shot
According to the channel, Strelkov's lawyers managed to obtain the relevant permission from all relevant agencies. As a result, his imprisonment was replaced with military service. "In fact, this issue has already been resolved, only a number of formalities remain," writes Shot.
In April, the former "minister" of defense of the "DPR" Igor Strelkov asked to be sent to war in Ukraine. However, according to current Russian laws, those convicted "under extremist articles" cannot serve in the armed forces, and Strelkov was sentenced to four years in prison in January 2024 for "calls for extremism." The case was opened due to two posts on Telegram. He did not admit his guilt.
CNN has aired additional footage showing the execution of Ukrainian prisoners of war by Russian forces. The first video was filmed near Pokrovsk in late August, and the second in May near Robotyne. Ukraine's Prosecutor General, Kostin, reported that 28 similar cases, involving the killing of 62 Ukrainian soldiers, are under investigation.

🇺🇸🤔 90% літаків, які Росія використовує для нанесення ударів керованими бомбами і ракетами дальньої дії, розташовані за межами 300 км, - Джон Кірбі
❗️«Тож ідея про те, що ми просто даємо їм ATACMS і кажемо «добре», і вони зможуть уразити більшість російських літаків на авіабазах, не відповідає дійсності. Це хибний аргумент», — зазначив він.

🇺🇸🤔 90% of the aircraft that Russia uses for guided bombs and long-range missile strikes are located beyond 300 km, - John Kirby
❗️"So the idea that we just give them ATACMS and say, ‘OK,’ and they will be able to hit most of the Russian aircraft at the air bases is not true. That is a false argument," he noted.
Trump says he may lift US sanctions on Russia if he wins the election because he believes they are weakening the dollar, New Republic reports
"You lose Iran, you lose Russia. China is trying to make its currency the dominant currency. There are so many conflicts with all these countries that you will lose the dollar's dominance. I want to use sanctions as little as possible."
So if Trump wins Ukraine is occupied
In August 2024, in Ukraine, a Su-24M from the 7th Bomber Aviation Regiment conducted a test flight to evaluate a new guided bomb. It is accompanied by a Su-27UB from the 831st Fighter Aviation Regiment to monitor separation and plan subsequent actions.

By the way Girkin’s wife still writes Girkin’s thoughts on his telegram. Here is the latest post about the Kursk operation and possible future developments (automatic translation):
Considering the current situation on the fronts, I can comment on it briefly as follows:
1) While the 2.5-year-old vicious practice of "putting out a fire by bringing water in glasses" continues (i.e. trying to reduce the war to a truce without fully exerting the national forces). Of course, nothing could have come of this before and will not come of it in the future;
2) As I assumed, the "Kursk adventure" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not aimed at achieving strategic results, but at involving as many forces/reserves of the RF Armed Forces as possible in the battle on a new extended section of the front + the political effect of demonstrating the impotence of the central Moscow authorities in the eyes of the population - where would we be without it? Nevertheless, I continue to expect a possible offensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Crimean or Lower Dnieper direction in September (no later than mid-October). I cannot be 100% sure of it, but I estimate the probability of such a strike as quite high.
3) No missile strikes (no matter how massive) on the industrial, energy and transport infrastructure of the so-called "Ukraine" will in themselves bring "nothing at all" to victory or even a "compromise settlement". Victory can only be brought by a decisive defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and nothing more. Otherwise, "Ukraine" will continue to serve as a "disposable tool" for "wearing down" Russia for as long as necessary, and under certain (extremely unpleasant) circumstances - up to our military-political (or political) defeat - this word "hangs" over our military campaign more and more clearly and more threateningly - no matter how hard our official propaganda "puffs up".
Belarus started to mount the anti drone mashes on their military equipment.

Meanwhile International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi (also known as a useless „hug guy „) spits in the face of Rosatom chief and Russian military. Hugs Ruzzian officials and military. Probably thanking them for occupying the Zaporizhzha NPP and creating threats for humanity. Well done, „hug man“ well done…

The Biden administration is in urgent talks with Congress to secure the use of $6 billion in military aid for Ukraine before the Sept. 30 deadline, as much of the $7.8 billion allocated in April remains unused. The administration hopes to extend the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), the key mechanism for providing defense support, by attaching it to a short-term emergency spending bill to prevent the funds from expiring with the fiscal year.

The US will strengthen Ukraine's position in negotiations with the Russian Federation - Kirby
Kirby emphasized that the US has supported the international promotion of Zelenskyi's "peace formula", which has received significant international support.
He also noted: "If the conflict ends through negotiations, we strive to ensure that President Zelenskyi is in the best position to make decisions on the format of these negotiations.
❤️ Thanks everyone for your support and love!
Last month I got interviewed by police for 4 days after arriving in Paris. I was told I may be personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram, because the French authorities didn’t receive responses from Telegram.
This was surprising for several reasons:
1. Telegram has an official representative in the EU that accepts and replies to EU requests. Its email address has been publicly available for anyone in the EU who googles “Telegram EU address for law enforcement”.
2. The French authorities had numerous ways to reach me to request assistance. As a French citizen, I was a frequent guest at the French consulate in Dubai. A while ago, when asked, I personally helped them establish a hotline with Telegram to deal with the threat of terrorism in France.
3. If a country is unhappy with an internet service, the established practice is to start a legal action against the service itself. Using laws from the pre-smartphone era to charge a CEO with crimes committed by third parties on the platform he manages is a misguided approach. Building technology is hard enough as it is. No innovator will ever build new tools if they know they can be personally held responsible for potential abuse of those tools.
Establishing the right balance between privacy and security is not easy. You have to reconcile privacy laws with law enforcement requirements, and local laws with EU laws. You have to take into account technological limitations. As a platform, you want your processes to be consistent globally, while also ensuring they are not abused in countries with weak rule of law. We’ve been committed to engaging with regulators to find the right balance. Yes, we stand by our principles: our experience is shaped by our mission to protect our users in authoritarian regimes. But we’ve always been open to dialogue.
Sometimes we can’t agree with a country’s regulator on the right balance between privacy and security. In those cases, we are ready to leave that country. We've done it many times. When Russia demanded we hand over “encryption keys” to enable surveillance, we refused — and Telegram got banned in Russia. When Iran demanded we block channels of peaceful protesters, we refused — and Telegram got banned in Iran. We are prepared to leave markets that aren’t compatible with our principles, because we are not doing this for money. We are driven by the intention to bring good and defend the basic rights of people, particularly in places where these rights are violated.
All of that does not mean Telegram is perfect. Even the fact that authorities could be confused by where to send requests is something that we should improve. But the claims in some media that Telegram is some sort of anarchic paradise are absolutely untrue. We take down millions of harmful posts and channels every day. We publish daily transparency reports (like this or this ). We have direct hotlines with NGOs to process urgent moderation requests faster.
However, we hear voices saying that it’s not enough. Telegram’s abrupt increase in user count to 950M caused growing pains that made it easier for criminals to abuse our platform. That’s why I made it my personal goal to ensure we significantly improve things in this regard. We’ve already started that process internally, and I will share more details on our progress with you very soon.
I hope that the events of August will result in making Telegram — and the social networking industry as a whole — safer and stronger. Thanks again for your love and memes 🙏
⚡️Romanian President Klaus Iohannis has finally signed the decree for the transfer of a Patriot system to Ukraine. All that is left is the transfer itself.

"We have already won in this SVO," said the commander of the special forces "Akhmat" Apti Alaudinov
"Our next task is to do everything with you to ensure that we are one family, ready for future challenges," Alaudinov said in a new video.
Since the border breakthrough, Alaudinov has repeatedly stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have stopped advancing in the Kursk region. He first said this on August 9 and subsequently repeated the same thing many times.
