On August 8, it would be impossible to miss the theme of the "war of 888", especially considering the 15th anniversary. So far, in our post-Soviet practice, this is the most effective use of force, if we take the final result: the enemy has abandoned aggressive plans, from joining a hostile military bloc, and is pursuing a pragmatic policy of business cooperation towards us. They have not changed this policy even now, despite the pressure from the West, while many Georgian leaders say directly that taking the side of the West in this war means national suicide for Georgia.

No, such a number will not work with Ukraine, for them the idea of “Ukraine is part of the West” has already become national, and to abandon it is to recognize the whole experiment with Ukrainian statehood as meaningless. What does it tell us?

Well, probably about the fact that people from the country of St. Nina, Vakhtang Gorgasal and David the Builder as a whole have more wisdom and are more capable of overcoming political obscurations than the rabble grown under the motto "Not Russia" who abandoned their own history and now dying for the interests of overseas masters.

Five settlements in the Kharkiv region came under the control of the Russian army in recent days

This was stated by the head of the military-civilian administration of the region Vitaly Ganchev on the air of Channel 1. He also reported:
The shelling has intensified and does not stop for a minute. Shells, mostly of a foreign type, fly into our villages. Cluster munitions are actively used.

▪️We understand what caused the continuous shelling and their randomness. APU are afraid. Our fighters are pushing through their positions and driving the Nazis deep into the Kharkov region. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Russian army took more advantageous positions in the area of the settlement. Olshana.
▪️In general, the front line has advanced several kilometers in our favor. To date, even those settlements that we considered a gray zone have come under the complete control of our army. There is some progress, but the situation is still difficult. The military-civilian administration continues its work, despite all attempts by the Ukrainian Nazis to prevent this. We believe in our guys and our victory.

There is a Ukrainian video of the raid of the sabotage group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Russian bank of the Dnieper.

Today many channels have writen about the "surrender" of the Cossack Camps on the Russian bank, which is not true and was refuted in the morning, thought the full picture is not fully clear.

Apparently something went wrong... Was it an ambush or just bad (Ukrainian) luck? Also note a random shooting "in the direction" of the enemy.

At night, Ukrainian troops tried to land troops from two boats on the left bank of the Dnieper near the village of Cossack Camps, said Saldo, acting head of the Kherson region.

The boats were destroyed while trying to moor, there are no militants in the area, he said.

The village of Cossack Camps near Kherson is controlled by the Russian military, a RIA Novosti correspondent who visited the village was convinced.

Small arms fire is not heard, but the enemy is shelling the village with mortars and cannon artillery.

🚨🚨🚨

NO MORE MONEY TO UKRAINE!!

We have NOT even finished funding our own military with the NDAA and the Biden admin is pulling an accounting scam to send more money to Ukraine!

They are beginning to dole out $6.2 billion of funds discovered after a Pentagon accounting error over-valued billions of Ukraine aid.

Plus they want Congress to pass another Ukraine supplemental by combining it with emergency flooding money.

This is WRONG and can NOT happen.

We should only be funding money to help Americans with disaster relief not forced to vote to fund Ukraine at the same time!

SEPARATE THE FUNDS because I’m NOT voting to send MORE money to a foreign war to kill MORE people!

This is ridiculous!!

After the Russia's withdrawal from the "grain deal" and the destruction of the Ukrainian port infrastructure, Russians finally got ready to the carrying of grain trade in rubles. The scheme is somewhat reminiscent of similar schemes that exist for oil and gas trading. Now the currency must be sent to a special Russian bank to buy rubles there, and after that, for these rubles, buy grain in Russia. Thus, at least part of the trade is removed from under the pressure of sanctions, and the country maintains a stable inflow of foreign currency.

The yuan has become the main currency for Russian international traders

In January-June 2023, the Chinese currency accounted for 47.7% of the total number of foreign exchange payments (12.8% in the first half of 2022), while the US Dollar accounted for 35.7% of total volume, and the Euro only 7%.
Data from MTS Bank.

Even about 2 years ago they said that it was impossible to get rid of the dollar in foreign trade, but how it turned out.
In fact, now every second currency payment is now in yuan.

P.S. Well, who has already opened accounts in yuan?

After not the most successful negotiations, the US decided to blackmail Niger with money, stopping financial flows into the country due to the coup. They indicated that the pause will disappear, the money will pass as soon as Niger returns to constitutional order.

Foreign aid accounts for 40% of Niger's budget. Now the West is blackmailing the new authorities in Niger by reducing or stopping this assistance.

On the other hand, one must understand that Niger will not need any help if colonial relations with France are broken, and if raw materials from Niger go to France at fair prices.

The answer of the new leadership of Niger was quoted by American journalist Jackson Hinkle: “We don't need your money. Use them to fund Victoria Nuland's weight loss program." According to him, in Niger they reacted in this way.

Well done Nigerians, independent guys. Uranium, coal, oil and gold are their friends, not the Americans.

I think the answer to the question "What for you personally will be the Victory in the Special Military Operation (SMO)?" can be made in a separate post:

At the time of the end of the SMO, no matter where our armed forces stopped geographically at that moment, be it on the borders of the New Republics, in Kiev, or beyond Lvov — none of these provisions guarantees us that the war will not start again after any period of time : one, two, ten years.

No geographic point or end-of-hostilities guarantees the duration of peace, just as no agreement guarantees it.

There will be only a temporary truce, which our enemies (and they will remain exactly the same) will use to prepare for the next war, in which they will strike, taking into account the experience of the SMO.
The whole world is watching us today.

Therefore, for me personally, victory is not equal to the end of hostilities.

Victory will consist in acquiring a real and constant combat readiness of our armed forces to effectively repel any threat in the future.

I emphasize, in real combat readiness.
Not on slides and not in photo reports.

In creating an ideology that is understandable and simple for every citizen and an image of the future which we will all strive for. In rallying our multinational people around a clear, understandable and simple idea.

And for this, based on the results of the SMO in the army and other structures, conclusions should be drawn and changes should be made. Radical changes.

It's no secret that the SMO, especially the beginning of the operation, revealed a huge layer of problems not only in the army. In ideology, in power, in society, in the way of thinking and self-awareness of citizens.

The causes of these problems and errors should be seriously analyzed and worked out. Correction of errors should be carried out unambiguously.

The worst thing will be if, after the end of hostilities (wherever they end geographically and heroically), this whole huge layer of systemic problems will simply be covered with a sign “we didn’t lose the SMO, so we did everything right, so there’s no need to change anything and you can continue to live like before".

Naturally, the beautiful word "VICTORY" will be written on the memorial plaque in a beautiful font, and all involved and non-participants will be euthanized with medals and flowers shouting "Winners are not judged!"

Special military operation — should be a lesson.
For a year and a half, our servicemen, volunteers and civilians have been writing this lesson for us with their blood and lives.
And this lesson must be learned.

Only if all these conditions are met, the next war will not begin soon.

And only in this case we will win it.

The official representative of the US State Department, Matthew Miller, does not understand why Russia is so loved in Niger:
— You see people on the streets, there are also those expressing support. There are more of them than people who could be paid to participate in the protests. It seems strange to me when your country suffers from an attempted military takeover of power, and the first thing you do is run to the store and buy a Russian flag. This surprises me. Some incredible scenario.

Precisely!
Otherwise, everyone should love America⁉️

▪️31% — worse;
▪️23% — nothing has changed;
▪️7% — life has become better.

That is, the quality of life has deteriorated for approximately 69% of citizens.
