Two Ukrainian fighters on the frontlines in Kherson, who have oversight of events, described a situation that differed from the Ukrainian officials’ statements. According to them, fighting is taking place in Kherson region, but it is not the major counteroffensive being touted by Kyiv.

The soldiers on the frontline in the Kherson region who spoke to the Guardian asked to remain anonymous because they are not allowed to talk to the media without permission. One soldier said there was no counteroffensive, the other said that battles were taking place but to halt a Russian offensive launched last week.

“There is no counteroffensive and there won’t be,” said a fighter who has been serving on the frontlines in Kherson region since March. “There might be an imitation of one but there won’t be a real one. We absolutely do not have the weaponry for one.”

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡Another video with a convoy of ambulances in Odessa. Apparently, the results of the attack on Kherson are coming😁

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡Operative video of the detention of Ukrainian terrorists who were preparing terrorist attacks in Energodar and at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant. Together with the terrorists, a solid arsenal was captured.

❗️ The EU has failed to agree on a bloc-wide blanket ban on Russian visas, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has announced on FB. Hungary, along with some other member states, opposed the outright ban. EU will instead suspend an agreement with Russia that eases visa issuance (the cost of visas will increase from 35 Euro to 80 Euro).

Also, Hungary has signed a deal with Russia's Gazprom on additional gas shipments from September 1.

La villa di Zelensky a Forte dei Marmi affittata ai russi Il Tirreno

This is BEYOND priceless.

The villa owned by the coke comedian in Forte dei Marmi in Tuscany was rented in August for 50k euros to a couple of RUSSIANS.

The French magazine Charlie Hebdo has published a caricature of modern Europe.

Macron: Stay at home and don't rebel!

The French: The water is warmer here!

Zelensky: * an obedient dog at the European feeder*

It seems that in Europe they are beginning to suspect...

❗️at About 06:00 Moscow time, Ukrainian troops landed on the coast of the Kakhovka reservoir three kilometers northeast of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in two sabotage groups of up to 60 people on seven boats and attempted to seize the power plant. They were British trained individuals recently transferred from Poland. The Kremlin claims that this was an MI6 planned operation orchestrated by Boris Johnson and that Russia had information about the plan and was aware of it happening. Full statement from Russia:

The Kremlin was aware of the plans of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to take advantage of the arrival of the IAEA mission and carry out an amphibious landing in order to try to seize the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant and make statements for days that it was Russian special forces. Under ideal conditions for the work of the DRG, they calculated the task of taking the mission itself hostage and keeping the nuclear power plant under mines, making demands for the complete withdrawal of Russian troops to the territory of Crimea.

Russia claims that Boris Johnson brought the plan of operation and some of the instructors with him as a demobilization chord of his premiership, but if the GUR was successful, he would have refused to transfer power— referring to an international emergency threatening a catastrophe on a planetary scale. At the moment, 47 DRG fighters have been destroyed, three have been taken prisoner (!), Two are in serious condition between life and death. A group of 12 people is blocked on three sides and cut off from the water and boats, by 15:00 the CTO will be over.

Zelensky's statement on this situation is expected in the late afternoon, the head of the IAEA Mission has already been notified of the situation, as well as UN Secretary General Guterres. The operation was coordinated by MI6 officers from their headquarters in the suburbs of Kyiv (Ukrainian sources confirmed everything the Kremlin said so far, as well as confirming the failures and ambush of Ukrainian special forces)

All 64 DRGs have recently completed training in the UK and traveled from Warsaw to Odessa on 29 August.

- claims Russian Defense Ministry

Russian Armed Forces & Air Force was immediately deployed and sunk the boats. Ka-52s arrived at the same time raising hell onto Ukrainian special forces.

Ukrainian sources claim that the AFU is furious and trying to figure out how Russia was aware of the operation and where it went wrong

Today, the IAEA mission arrived at Zaporizhzhia NPP. It's good that it happened. The fact itself despite all the provocations by the Russian military and the cynical shelling of Enerhodar and the territory of the plant. Ukraine did everything to make this mission happen. But it is bad that the occupiers are trying to turn this IAEA mission - a really necessary one - into a fruitless tour of the plant. I believe that this will be prevented.

When we met with Mr. Grossi and members of the mission in Kyiv, we agreed that the mission would be accompanied by journalists from Ukrainian and international media. Independent journalists. For the world to see the truth. To see what is really happening. Unfortunately, this wasn’t done. Although it was promised. Unfortunately, the occupiers did not let the journalists in, but organized a bunch of their propagandists. Unfortunately, the IAEA representatives did not protect the representatives of independent media.

We are hopeful that the mission will nevertheless draw objective conclusions from the circumstances at the plant. And the key thing that should happen is the demilitarization of the territory of the plant. This is exactly the goal of Ukrainian and international efforts. And it is bad that we have not yet heard the appropriate calls from the IAEA. Although we talked about it with Mr. Grossi at our meeting in Kyiv. This was the key - the key! - security point of our agreements. It was clearly stated: demilitarization and full control by Ukrainian nuclear specialists.

When the Russian military finally leave the territory of the Zaporizhzhia NPP, when they take away their weapons, ammunition, when they stop shelling Enerhodar and neighboring areas and cease their provocations, the Zaporizhzhia plant will be able to return to a completely safe functioning, which has always been the case under the control of Ukraine.

Nord Stream has been suspended indefinitely, Gazprom has announced.

Malfunctions were detected on the last remaining turbine, and Rostekhnadzor issued a warning to the company. Gazprom sent a letter to Siemens about the need to repair the turbine.
