🐷 "No russian car will enter Poland" - Mariusz Kaminski

🇵🇱Today Poland introduces a ban on the entry of cars registered in ruzzia. This was announced by the Minister of the Interior and Administration Mariusz Kaminski.

👥The ministry's Twitter page noted that "this is another element of the sanctions imposed on russia and its citizens in connection with the brutal war in Ukraine. Today, the russian state poses a threat to international security."

🚫The ban was also reported by the Polish Border Guard Service:

💬 "Russian-registered vehicles with russian license plates that appear at Polish border crossings from Sunday will be returned to the non-EU country from which they came, regardless of whether it is Russia or another country. Such actions will be carried out even if the driver of the car is not a citizen of the Russian Federation. Acquisition, import or transfer to the European Union, directly or indirectly, is prohibited," the agency's website says.

🫡Thus, Poland joined the list of countries that have introduced such a ban. Earlier, the Baltic states did so: 🇱🇻Latvia, 🇱🇹Lithuania, 🇪🇪Estonia, as it is subject to European sanctions.

"There will be more strikes" - Fedorov announces increase in naval drones

💬 "I think that by the end of this year, compared to the previous year, this increase will be about 120-140 times..." There will be more drones, more attacks, fewer Russian ships. That's for sure," the minister said.

📌 Fedorov also noted that Ukraine is testing artificial intelligence systems that can localize targets several kilometers away and send drones at them, even if external communications are disrupted by electromagnetic warfare.

💬 "We need artificial intelligence, for example, target search technology, similar to how the Lancet works, so that the target can be found through electromagnetic warfare and destroyed," Fedorov added.

🇵🇱🇷🇺Poland will start building a "physical barrier" on the border with Muscovy, - Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki

🗣The official said this on Radio Olsztyn:

💭«We have announced that we will first start building a perimeter system for electronic border protection. But then we will create an appropriate physical barrier in certain areas, until eventually we will create it along the entire length of the border with the Königsberg - formerly Kaliningrad - region.»

✍️According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, electronic border protection is expected to be completed in late September or early October.

🗡 More than ten Abrams tanks to arrive in Ukraine in the near future

👥 This was stated by Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov

💬 "As for the delivery of Abrams tanks, the heaviest tanks in the world that weigh 80 tons, they will be delivered to our country in the near future. Our strategic partners, the United States, do not let us down in this case. In the near future, these tanks will defend our country... There will be more than ten of them. And today, the appropriate number of training crews are learning to operate these modern weapons," Danilov said.

⚙ The Abrams tanks have been prepared for delivery for a long time. Currently, the last steps are being taken to equip and man the tanks. During this time, Ukrainian tankers are further improving their skills in driving the vehicles. We have already written about the provision of shells. So the transfer of Abrams tanks is really in the home stretch. In total, the United States plans to send 31 M1 Abrams tanks.

🇺🇸🇩🇰🇩🇰USA and Denmark to conduct joint exercises on the use of SM-6 missiles in the Baltic Sea

🛳 The U.S. Navy and the Danish Armed Forces will conduct advanced convoy protection exercises using the state-of-the-art SM-6 modular missile system, which will begin on September 18 near Bornholm Island.

🚀The missile system is capable of intercepting airborne threats, including ballistic missiles in the final phase of flight. The dual-purpose missile design ensures accurate engagement of both stationary land targets and dynamic sea targets.

✍️«By conducting these operations from Danish soil, the United States reaffirms the strategic importance of Denmark as a key ally in ensuring regional stability. This exercise further solidifies the enduring defense partnership between the U.S. and Denmark, emphasizing our joint dedication to mutual security objectives and cooperative defense efforts,» the U.S. 6th Fleet said in a statement.

🤔Recently, the US military activity in the European region has increased significantly, in particular, it is interesting to note the rehearsal of the scenario of an attack on one of the NATO countries, which we wrote about earlier, as well as the announcement of the largest maneuvers since the Cold War.

✈️ The fighters shared footage of the drone we purchased with your money

🫡The efficient work of the operator causes tangible problems for the enemy in this area - the video shows just one day of our defenders' "routine".

🤬Today, the amount of environmental damage amounts to $57 billion, - Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine Ruslan Strilets

🗣The Minister said this during a meeting of the International Working Group on the Environmental Consequences of War.

🌳In the last 2.5 months alone, the amount of environmental damage has increased by almost USD 1.5 billion. Currently, work is underway to develop and implement a comprehensive plan for Ukraine's environmental recovery from the war's consequences, including:

🟠advocacy of paragraph 8 of Volodymyr Zelensky's Peace Formula;
🟠cooperation with international partners;
🟠partial restoration of ecosystems;
🟠restoration of forests where possible;

♻️This year, under the President's Green Country program, almost 16,000 hectares of forest have been reforested, and hundreds of hectares of the Kakhovka Reservoir bottom have been sown with annual plants by national parks. This will help prevent dust storms and the spread of alien species.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian Army Commander General Syrskyi announces complete liberation of Klishchiivka

🤝 The settlement was liberated by the forces of the 🦅80th Air Assault Brigade, ⚡5th Assault Brigade, 🦅95th Air Assault Brigade and 👮 Joint assault brigade of the National Police "Rage".

⚔️ The battle for the village lasted a long time. Despite losing the dominant heights in July, the enemy continued to hold Klishchiivka at great cost. It was indeed a difficult and lengthy campaign. Despite the statements of Western insiders who liberated the village in mid-July, we can only talk about its final control now. Remember that no one knows more about the war than the Ukrainians themselves. It's always easy to judge the pace of our offensive while drinking macchiato in some Berlin headquarters.

🫡 It's worth mentioning the 214th OPFOR, the 3rd Assault Brigade, the 210th Special Battalion Berlingo, the 22nd Mechanized Brigade, and the guys from the Territorial Defence Forces who made efforts to clear and hold those damned treebelts and heights in front of the village.

🇵🇱The Defense Minister of Poland has published declassified documents from 2011 outlining a plan for the Polish Army to retreat behind the Vistula River in case of an invasion from Muscovy

🗣"The Tusk government was prepared to give up half of Poland in the event of a war. The armed forces utilization plan, which was approved by the then Defense Minister Klich, envisaged that the country's independent defense would last a maximum of two weeks, and after seven days, the enemy would reach the right bank of the Vistula. The documents clearly show that Lublin, Zamosc, and Lomza could have become Poland's Bucha."

👤The minister added that General Miroslav Ruzhansky was involved, who actively spoke against the creation of territorial defense forces and strengthening the armed forces on the eastern bank of the Vistula. Specifically, Blaszczak accused the political party "Civic Platform," led by Donald Tusk:

👥 "Civic Platform complains that we have exposed their plans to hand over half of Poland to the enemy. Poles have the right to know what fate you had prepared for them! In case of conflict, the Polish Army must fight for every meter of our territory and for every human life. You were preparing for another Bucha and Irpin, and wanted to turn Warsaw into a frontline city!" says the minister's tweet.
