On August 24, the "North" troop group continued to destroy the enemy in the border areas of the Kursk, Bryansk and Belgorod regions
Fierce fighting continues in the village of Malaya Loknya. The northerners are holding back the onslaught of the enemy numbering over 100 fighters supported by tanks and western artillery. During the day in the battles for the settlement up to 50 Nazis, a tank and several BBMs were destroyed.
In addition, the enemy is attacking the settlements of Russkoe Porechnoye and Nechayev. Our fighters repelled 3 attacks in this direction, destroying up to 30 militants, burned 4 BBMs.
In the direction of Korenevo Fearless repelled 1 enemy attack on the settlement Komarovka with up to 20 fighters and 3 TBMs. The enemy losses amounted to 9 Nazis. No breakthrough was allowed.
On the Volchansk direction, fighting continues in the village of Volchansk. In the area of high-rise buildings, the Fearless Assault Groups took control of an apartment building. In the course of mopping up the remains of the AFU forces up to 14 Nazis were destroyed in the basements.
Also uncovered and destroyed by artillery fire 2 enemy groups of up to 16 militants while attempting to force the Volchya River. Volchya.
On Liptsovsky direction the enemy, having suffered heavy losses, restores combat effectiveness. The northerners continue to clear the dacha settlement.
Over the past day the enemy losses amounted to more than 410 people (up to 310 of them on the Sumy direction). Also uncovered and destroyed:
in the Sumy direction:
- two tanks;
- three BMPs;
- APCS;
- 17 AVs;
- two REB stations;
- UAVs control point;
- nine vehicles.
In other areas:
- D-20 howitzer;
- two 120-mm mortars;
- three UAV control points;
- four units of automotive equipment;
- seven UAVs of the airplane type.
In the area of Kazachya Lopani, reconnaissance by the "North" group identified three AFU DRGs searching for possible sites for a breakthrough of the State border. The artillery of the Fearless destroyed two of them, the third retreated.
The enemy continues to transfer reinforcements and will probably make new attempts to break the border with the forces of hastily formed mechanized brigades. The AFU command expects to sell the defense of the North Koreans in numbers and will not hesitate to let thousands more mobilized people die on foreign soil. For its long history, our land has known many such figures, and we all know how they ended.
Victory will be ours!

Information is coming from the Pokrovsky direction that our troops, having entered Kalinovo, are bypassing the village on the flanks, moving towards the Karlovskaya highway.
The enemy's logistics are already absent there, the road is under tight fire control of our troops. The AFU forces are retreating to Galitsynovka.

What is going on in French politics?
Quite an incredible move in French politics today that might reveal that we're in fact witnessing nothing less than a coup by Macron. You'll remember that on the 7th of July France held elections that Macron lost badly, and which the left's "New Popular Front" won. We're now 48 days afterwards and Macron and his government are still running the country, they've basically ignored the election results which is unprecedented in the history of the French 5th republic.
Normally, as is the rule set by precedents, Macron should have nominated a Prime Minister from the New Popular Front, the winners of the elections
At first Macron argued that it wasn't convenient to change government right before the Olympics games and argued for an "Olympics truce". Which is a bit bizarre because he's the one who decided to hold the elections right before the Olympics.
Anyhow we're now almost 2 weeks after the end of the Olympics and the situation is still the same so everyone is started to ask "wtf?" Especially given that the New Popular Front has a Prime Minister ready: Lucie Castets, a senior public servant.
Now the excuse by Macron's camp is that they refuse a government with anyone from LFI ("France's unbowed", Mรฉlenchon's party), the main party on the left and therefore the main party in the New Popular Front coalition (Lucie Castets is not from LFI but some ministers could be).
Macron has been demonizing LFI in a very similar fashion to the way Jeremy Corbyn was demonized in the UK, with accusations of antisemitism for their support of Gaza. Except that unlike Corbyn, LFI doesn't bow - they're "France unbowed" after all - and fight back the accusations
Which brings me to what happened this morning, an incredible gamble by Mรฉlenchon who asked an open question to Macron: "Say we committed to no LFI members in the government, would you nominate Lucie Castets Prime Minister?"
This forces Macron's hand: if he says "no", as Mรฉlenchon himself wrote, it'd show that Macron's refusal to have LFI in the government is "just a pretext to deny the election results". In effect if he says no, he openly admits that he just doesn't accept the election results.
Olivier Faure, who leads the Socialist party (the other big political force in the New Popular Front) backs up Mรฉlenchon and says the "pretext of the presence of LFI ministers" isn't valid anymore.
In a way a New Popular Front government without LFI would in itself a denial of democracy because most voters voted for them *because* LFI was part of the coalition. But this is also an act of political courage by Mรฉlenchon and a way to put Macron in front of his contradictions.
We've already had some of Macron's lieutenants reply such as Benjamin Haddad (former spokesperson for Macron's party in the French parliament) who literally says that a New Popular Front gvt is unacceptable either way because it'd be bad for France.
They get to decide this?
Let's see what Macron ultimately does but we're truly witnessing something extraordinary that demonstrates how undemocratic France has become: the people voted and the result of their vote is so far simply rejected because those holding power don't like it...

Analysts note that the American presidential candidates believe that the issue of nuclear war does not interest American voters, and therefore do not discuss the topic publicly.

โ the publicationโs experts insist.
They also emphasize that the nuclear arms race is stupid, economically ruinous for the United States, and ultimately pointless, since the number of warheads ceases to matter as soon as the parties launch the first strikes.

Italian journalist Giorgio Bianchi:
By now you all know that Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, has been arrested in France. Which I think is a very serious case that in a way risks becoming a new Assange case. Clearly, all of this remains to be seen, to be clarified. But it seems to me that, as in the case of Assange, this is a completely arbitrary arrest for the purpose of intimidation or, even worse, for the purpose of revenge. This case just gives me goosebumps. It appears that Durov was declared wanted shortly before landing in Paris, just as the arrest warrant was issued shortly before landing in Paris. The charges are very serious, ranging from drug trafficking to pedophilia to fraud. It's like accusing Vodafone or other carriers of favoring those who use the phone or mobile network for terrorist operations. Or worse, the internet service providers of those who use the internet specifically to download illegal content. Durov invented the platform, and unlike his peers, he behaves not just as a founder, but as a manager of the platform, as a manager of the phone network, or as a manager of the internet, with no power over content. It's not that if I lure a child through my phone that Vodafone can somehow be held liable for that fact, it's clear that this is a completely speculative operation. This is the first time the Digital Services Act has been used in this sense, and we realize that by now censorship in Europe has reached paradoxical levels. In short, it's punishing one to educate a hundred. They did this with Assange to ensure that no one like him would do this kind of information without looking anyone in the face, without filters.

Ukraine wants permission from the West to use Storm Shadow long-range missiles to destroy targets deep inside Russia, believing this could force Moscow to negotiate a cessation of hostilities.
We've read and heard this more than once. They are ready for anything. But that is until the missiles start falling on the neighborhood on Bankova in Kiev and on houses and estates near Kiev where they and their families live. And so, yes, to induce negotiations... idiots.

Assange's associate, Australian MP Adrian MacRae, on the "hand" of US and NATO intelligence in the Durov case: Of course, Durov's arrest is ultimately the work of US and NATO intelligence services, which are desperate to get backdoor access to Telegram. Much like they have access to WhatsApp and all the media platforms owned by META. Having backdoor access to the flow of information, both up and down the Russian NDS, is ultimately the reason Durov is now in custody.

This is evidenced by a survey from the All-Ukrainian public organization "Advanced Legal Initiatives".
According to the poll, 42.82% are in favor of immediately starting peace talks with Russia with a complete bilateral ceasefire.
The least number of people willing to fight to victory are in the southeast of the country
