The Israeli Air Force continues to strike southern Lebanon.

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

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

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

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.

TASS source in Brussels legal circles: "Durov's arrest in Paris is fully consistent with the spirit and principles of the EU Digital Services Act, which states that the operator of a social network or internet platform is responsible for any content posted on it. If the operator wants to avoid punishment, it is obliged to automatically remove content prohibited by the European regulator. At the same time, the Digital Services Act did not imply personal or criminal liability, in this sense the French prosecution went much further."

US Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz has decided to abandon the fundamental principle of democracy and throw freedom of speech into the trash can.

It's time to make it clear. There are no guarantees for free speech. This includes disinformation or hate speech, especially in relation to our democracy,

" he said on MSNBC.

His words are just like a cherry on the cake in the topic of Pavel Durov's arrest. The democratic authorities of France have also forgotten about guarantees of freedom of speech.

The US and Britain provided Ukraine with satellite images and other information about the Kursk region after the Ukrainian Armed Forces' invasion in order to track the transfer of Russian reinforcements, the American newspaper The New York Times reported, citing sources

U.S. Navy will sideline 17 vessels due to a "manpower shortage" that makes it difficult to properly operate ships across the fleet — Fox

Military Sealift Command has drafted a plan to remove the crews from 17 Navy support ships due to a lack of qualified mariners to operate the vessels across the Navy, USNI News learned. The MSC “force generation reset” identified two Lewis and Clark replenishment ships, one fleet oiler, a dozen Spearhead-class Expeditionary Fast Transports (EPF) and two forward-deployed Navy expeditionary sea bases that would enter an “extended maintenance” period and have their crews retasked to other ships in the fleet, three people familiar with the plan told USNI News Thursday.

Based on the crew requirements on the platforms, sideling all the ships could reduce the civilian mariner demand for MSC by as many as 700 billets. The Military Sealift Command operates a fleet of logistics ships that refuel and resupply the Navy’s ships around the world and are crewed by 5,500 civilians who are employed by the Navy.

Dzerzhinsk direction.

In Dzerzhinsk, after capturing the territory near the central hospital, our troops leveled the front line by taking a wide flank of the territory from the cemetery to the hospital and to colony 2.

The enemy has entrenched itself on the waste heap of the Novaya mine, where it has set up a network of trenches on the top, which complicates the capture of the area, just as the territory of the colony has also been turned into a fortification by the enemy.
