Scholz posted a photo with an eye patch and abrasions on his face.

The Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Olaf Scholz, posted on his X (formerly Twitter) page a photo of himself wearing an eye patch and abrasions on his cheek following an injury while playing sports.

“I look forward to memes,” the German leader wrote under the post.

The chancellor thanked the subscribers for the wishes for recovery and assured that everything looks much worse in the photo than in real life.

Earlier, German media reported that Scholz stumbled while jogging and was injured (bruised on his face), and therefore the trip to the city of Heringen, scheduled for September 3, was canceled. There, he was to attend an event marking the 25th anniversary of Michael Roth, chairman of the German parliament's foreign policy committee, as a member of the Bundestag.

The Telegraph suspects that the British “volunteer” Daniel Burke could have been killed in Ukraine

Moreover, killed by his own colleagues. The reason could be disagreements over access to financing.

His father appealed to the London police with a request to investigate the disappearance of his son, the newspaper reports. He himself is a former parachutist and also, like his son, fought on the side of Kiev. Now he is thinking of returning to Ukraine in search of answers.

▪️Daniel Burke — organizer of his own PMC "Dark Angels", operating in Ukraine since the spring of 2022. The unit he created includes the same “volunteers” as he — former officers from the armies of different countries of the world. He disappeared in August in the Zaporozhye region.

"Ukrainians are scared. They know that the Russian army has learned everything and made up for everything"

Sławomir Wysocki, a Pole who regularly travels to Ukraine with humanitarian aid (and, possibly, for other purposes), gave an interesting interview to the Polish Vedomosti, more than far from optimistic.

- Human losses are huge. Western equipment burns like matches. This is much worse than it is usually depicted, - Wysocki does not spare bright colors.

- How do the Ukrainians fighting at the front feel about the Russian defense system?

“They are scared,” Wysocki replies curtly. - They know that the Russian army has already learned everything and made up for any gap, and is also very carefully prepared. The Russians have very good engineering troops. The defense system was built by construction companies. It was not a peasant who waved a sapper shovel to build a trench. Companies came, poured concrete, made fortifications in the style of the Maginot line. And there are three, four such lines... Ukrainians say that there are five mines on one square meter. You can't put your foot so that someone doesn't explode.

- In connection with such a difficult situation at the front, with an increasing number of victims, are Ukrainians still ready to fight?

- There are no applicants. They are even looked for on the streets. In Lviv, raids are being carried out outside the city center, people are being taken away from construction sites, they are going into taverns where the working class comes to drink beer, and they are herding people.
I recently witnessed such a situation at the bus station number 2 in Lviv. Five policemen were standing and checking everyone who wanted to leave Lviv. Who could not explain himself, stepped aside. They detained eight people, - says the Pole.

According to Wysocki, the reason for this situation is Bakhmut.

- It was such a meat grinder... The soldiers say: we have something, but soon there will be no one to fight...
The Russians are waiting for winter to start destroying Ukraine's critical infrastructure again. They expect that after a mild winter last year, severe weather will come and that they will be able to finish off Ukraine, that they will come near Kyiv in the spring and force Ukraine to “reconcile,” Wysocki predicts.

🇷🇺 🇹🇬🌾 Statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan following the talks in Sochi - Part 1

🔻 Statements by Vladimir Putin:

▪️Negotiations with Erdogan were held in a constructive atmosphere, all major issues were considered.

▪️ Diverse cooperation between Russia and Turkey is successfully developing in all areas. There is a tendency for the active use of national currencies in settlements, the share of the dollar and the euro is declining.

▪️ Russia intends to continue providing gas to Turkey, we are a reliable supplier. Nevertheless, the Turkish Stream gas pipeline has been repeatedly attacked by drones.

▪️ Russia was effectively forced out of the grain deal because the West did not provide access to world markets for Russian agricultural producers. At the same time, the situation on the market has not changed much: the share of Ukraine, as it was about 5%, has remained.

▪️ Western countries deceived Russia about the humanitarian nature of the grain deal. At the same time, Russia is ready to return to the discussion of the grain deal after the fulfillment of obligations by the West.

▪️ The Russian Federation is ready to deliver up to one million tons of grain to Turkish ports on preferential terms with further gratuitous transportation to poor countries with the assistance of Qatar.

▪️ Despite Turkey's efforts, the agreements reached with Ankara's help last year have been thrown into the dustbin by Kyiv .

▪️ The Russian side provided safe navigation under the deal, but the grain export corridors were used for military purposes.

▪️ Regarding the course of the so-called "counter-offensive" of Ukraine: this is not a slippage - this is a failure.

❗️Ukraine confirms that Australian SYPAQ cardboard drones were used to destroy Il-76 transport planes parked at Pskov airport.

🇦🇺Why is the Australian Government hiding this story? Uncomfortable facts?

Did Albanese authorise Australian SYPAQ drones to invade Russian mainland airspace and hit peaceful cities?

Other western country's like UK, Germany & US have forbidden Ukraine to attack Russian mainland cities with NATO weapons. For example UK forbids the use of Storm Shadow missiles on Russian mainland.

A representative of the Russian hacker group RaHDit told RIA Novosti that Ukrainians, including those of military age, who arrived in the Baltic countries after the start of the military conflict between Ukraine and Russia, are planned to be deported back to their homeland.

According to the hacker, on the website of the Lithuanian Ministry of Internal Affairs, information about Ukrainians who arrived after the start of the SVO was included in a separate folder.

“Information is being collected by the Baltic special services, among other things, in order to send men of military age back to Ukraine,” the cybercriminal said.

Before that, it became known that the RaHDit hacker group attacked the information resources of the defense ministries and intelligence services of the Baltic countries and Poland. According to the representative of the group, the joint actions of RaHDit and other hackers on September 4 led to the paralysis of the financial sector, banks, transport infrastructure and government websites in these states.

Earlier, Ukraine announced the deployment of military personnel with combat experience on the border with Belarus.

⏺ Pope Francis and his new car.

So the Polish magazine Wprost portrayed the pontiff after his words about the "greatness of Russia." In Warsaw, the statement of the head of the Catholic Church was considered "morally and politically unacceptable."

Here is such a Polish "democracy" that does not take into account the opinions of others...
