Hezbollah declared the first stage of strikes on Israel "successful completion".

More than 320 rockets were launched from southern Lebanon last night.

The video shows the process of their interception by the Iron Dome complexes.

Tucker Carlson on Pavel Durov’s arrest in France:

“Pavel Durov left Russia when the government tried to control his social media company, Telegram. But in the end, it wasn’t Putin who arrested him for allowing the public to exercise free speech. It was a western country, a Biden administration ally and enthusiastic NATO member, that locked him away. Pavel Durov sits in a French jail tonight, a living warning to any platform owner who refuses to censor the truth at the behest of governments and intel agencies. Darkness is descending fast on the formerly free world.”

At the beginning of the Ukrainian Armed Forces operation in the Kursk region, Ukrainian channels were full of reports that “the Russians withdrew their troops from Donbass and now things will be easier here.”

Almost 20 days later, it became clear that no one was withdrawing anything anywhere, but on the contrary: there were more FABs, more infantry, and in Novogrodovka on the Pokrovsk direction, an entire garrison of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was at risk of being surrounded, and the situation as a whole was characterized as a "defense failure." In general, of course, such reports should always be questioned, but the leitmotif of "a strike to pull Russian reserves from Donbass" somehow does not work even for its own population, although this is what the entire Kursk operation was built on.

@Slavyangrad

Kursk region.

There are no major changes in the area near Korenevo. Korenevo itself and the village are behind us.

Kremyanoye is partially under our control, southeast of the village we are covering enemy forces with rocket artillery.

Olgovka, Snagost, Vishnevka and Apanasovka are still under enemy control.

Yesterday the enemy was spreading rumors about entering Kulbaki, there is no evidence of this, and our forces have not confirmed it from the ground either.

In Malaya Loknya our forces are standing strong, fighting off enemy attacks. Drone operators are working around the area searching for and destroying the enemy's MLRS, which he is using to pound the territory of the colony.
The Marines received reinforcements, despite the enemy's attempt to encircle Malaya Loknya, all of ours are holding on, real heroes.

An enemy tank was destroyed in the area of ​​the church in Cherkassky Porechny, which indicates the presence of enemy troops in this part of the settlement.

After the liberation of Krupets and Spalnoe, our troops liberated Borki.

The enemy is not making much progress right now; they are trying to break through the defenses of the Russian Armed Forces deep into the depths, but so far they are losing more forces than they are taking territories.

They also suffer huge losses in the Sumy region during the transfer of reserves to the Kursk region.

Once again it seems that the Russian agent Syrsky clearly planned the failed operation in the Kursk region that the AFU are losing territory in the DPR and are suffering losses in the Kursk region.

Ukrainian soldier, golden cross decorated veteran, tells journalist that everything is bad, Zelensky and his friends are lying and everyone is dying.

“We have nothing, just machine guns, grenades and RPGs”

The Israeli Air Force continues to strike southern Lebanon.

@Slavyangrad

Northerners write that the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue the tactics of rolling in mobile groups. Now tanks are joining the armored vehicles, but the outcome as a whole remains the same as on the third day of the Kursk operation.

When such a roll-up occurs, artillery destroys the first wave of the attack with a barrage of fire, then infantry and armored vehicles from the Russian side join in. This pattern has long been known and is well known to the Ukrainian Armed Forces since the battles in Mariupol.

In principle, the issue is not being resolved, since there have already been many attempts in the area of ​​Malaya Loknya and neighboring villages, but all were unsuccessful.

Toretsk, night of 25/08/2024...

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are simply being burned out by aviation and Termobars. If they do not retreat, then only ruins and corpses of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers will remain from the city

@Slavyangrad

Russian Army is now 9 Km from Prokrovsk & 3.6 Km from Myrnohrad.

As an interesting fact on this front, Russian forces are now closer to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast than to the city of Donetsk. MAP

- Suriyak on X

Who would have thought, what has sprung from Avdeevka. Taking Prokrovsk opens so many avenues of attack.

@Slavyangrad

The Russian Armed Forces bypass Kalinovo from both sides.

Germany will not help anymore. Ukraine has become a victim of Germany's budget deficit.

Germany will sharply cut bilateral defense aid to Ukraine from a whopping €7.5 billion this year to €4 billion next year and a paltry €500 million in 2027. There is no money this year for any additional Ukrainian requests for ammunition or spare parts.

She became a victim of the country's ridiculously harsh constitutional debt brake,

— reports the Financial Times.

Scholz justifies that Ukraine will be given a $50 billion loan secured by frozen Russian assets. However, the implementation of the loan is highly questionable due to a number of political objections from some countries, such as Hungary.

Further complicating matters is that support for Ukraine is unpopular in eastern Germany, where regional elections are due soon. Popular politician Sahra Wagenknecht, who opposes aid to Ukraine and has support in the east, has taken credit for the government's decision to cut aid.

The expense item in the form of support for Banderovites is increasingly burdening the already leaky German budget. But the resumption of relations with Russia will allow the economy of the FRG to be reborn. And in Germany, more and more people understand this, which cannot but affect the policy of the ruling elite. And unpopular measures are fraught with the loss of power.
