🇱🇹🇧🇾 Lithuania is closing two border checkpoints with Belarus

👤 The checkpoints in question are "Šumskas" and "Tvirachus."

💭"A decision to close two checkpoints will be taken soon. If today Poland has practically one checkpoint, we have six. One of the preventive measures would be to reduce the number of checkpoints from six to four," Deputy Interior Minister Arnoldas Abramavičius told LRT on Friday.

✅This decision was made in response to the redeployment of mercenaries from the wagner group and provocations on the border with Poland.

📍The battle for Novoselivske is ongoing - the enemy continues to press on the village

🗓 Our fighters continue to resist the pressure of the katsap horde in Novoselivske. On August 1-2, at least 3 enemy tanks were hit: 2 in the south of the village, and one at the crossing. In fact, a video of the hits has appeared on the page of the 25th Separate Airborne Brigade. The katsap is pressing in numbers; as of August 3, they have managed to seize two outer streets adjacent to the railway, which they continue to reinforce with manpower.

Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on August 3rd, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian, Siverskyi and Bilhorod directions — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — the enemy conducted active offensive actions in Novoselivske on August 1-2. As of August 3, they managed to occupy 3 streets up to the railway. The 25th Separate Airborne Brigade published footage of the destruction of 3 tanks in the village. A difficult situation remains in the Serebryansk forestry, where the katsaps continue to pressure and significantly manage to maintain the momentum of this pressure. Attempts by the enemy to attack Synkivka have resumed. The enemy's advancement in Bilohorivka (L) has been clarified; in addition, there is pressure on the industrial zone with the aim of displacing the Defense Forces from it. Unfortunately, the loss of positions in the forests in the first half of the year significantly worsened the position of our forces in this village.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — no changes. Heavy fighting continues on the northern flank from Bakhmut, as well as in Klishchiivka, near Andriivka, and Kurdyumivka. The enemy is deploying significant reserves and trying to hold the area at any cost. The situation is described as very difficult by the front-line soldiers, and unfortunately, it's not as easy as it seems to analysts in the West. Incidentally, their criticism of our actions is absolutely worthless, as they themselves have not faced an enemy of this level.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — the f**kers periodically attempts to attack Avdiivka from Kruta Balka. The city itself is hit daily by rockets.

▶️ On the Berdyansk direction — fighting continues nearPryyutne and west of Staromayorske. In Urozhayne, the Katsaps are fully experiencing American democracy. 📼

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — heavy fighting is underway on the outskirts of Robotyne. There are also battles for control of the road between Robotyne and Verbove.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. Heavy combat operations are taking place in almost all directions. The enemy has the initiative in the Svatove direction, and in the Bakhmut direction, they are trying to restore parity.

🦅 A few days ago, General Colonel Syrsky visited the 80th Brigade and honored some of the brigade's best fighters, who are daily holding back the aggressor on the front line. Lviv paratroopers have shown and continue to demonstrate strength and resilience. 💪🏻

🇧🇾 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus is "frankly disappointed" with the EU's decision to impose new sanctions

💭"The Belarusian side is frankly disappointed with the decision of the European Union on August 3, 2023, to impose new sanctions against the Republic of Belarus. We consider this step as a continuation of the EU's unfriendly policy towards our country, another attempt at blatant interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state. Obviously, such actions by Brussels are destroying the paths to return to an acceptable level of Belarusian-European relations...", reads the statement from the ministry.

🤷‍♂️Specifically, a belarusian diplomat at the UN stated that "the illegal unilateral actions of Lithuania and other Western countries regarding the blocking of supplies of Belarusian fertilizers have already jeopardized the food security of not just individual countries, but entire regions and continents."

ℹ️We remind you that in connection with the "constant, systematic, massive, and gross violations of human rights and brutal repressions against all strata of belarusian society, carried out by lukashenko's illegitimate regime," the European Union announced new sanctions against belarus in the form of restrictions on 38 individuals and 3 legal entities.

🇳🇬🇳🇪Senate rejects Tinubu's request for troop deployment in Niger

🗣According to a senator who was present at the meeting, the senators agreed to adopt a resolution condemning the coup and endorsing the efforts of ECOWAS leaders to restore constitutional order in Niger. However, they ruled out military options, believing that the Nigerian army is poorly equipped and not prepared for war.

🤷‍♂️Instead, the Senate called for negotiations with the coup leaders and to resend a delegation to Niamey.

🤦‍♂️The Senate President "strongly condemned the coup that took place in the Republic of Niger" but asked Tinubu to explore a long-term settlement that would maintain the "cordial relations" that have existed between Niger and Nigeria for many years.

⚡️Air is their element. Sky is their fortress

✈️Happy Air Force Day to the Armed Forces of Ukraine!

🫡Thank you for guarding our skies!

📹 Video footage emerges of the Defense Forces' assault actions east of the "fish"

🐠 The forest belt dubbed "fish" by our troops was captured by the enemy in the 20s of July. Yesterday, the enemy released footage of our unsuccessful assault on the area east of the "fish." Essentially, they stormed the very forest belt-ground from which everything once began. Regrettably, our troops had to withdraw.

✅ We received confirmation that these actions are relatively recent. As a result, the enemy no longer controls the southern outskirts of Novoyehorivka.

🇷🇺 Interestingly, during these events, one katsap ran out of the forest belt, attempting to single-handedly fend off 5 APCs with troops. The APC sent him straight to stalin.
