Some people are proposing such a truce in Ukraine. People not from Russia.

Shoigu said that the military potential of Ukraine is almost exhausted. Does this mean that the Russian army is ready to go on the offensive? Yes. That is how Washington now believes and is preparing for peace talks. It is the peace talks according to Washington's plan that should stop the offensive of the Russian army.

Turkey's foreign policy activity does it more harm than good

Consider disputes between Turkey and Greece regarding sovereignty and related rights in the waters of the Aegean Sea and the airspace above it.

What has Ankara's aggressive behavior in this area led to?

Let me remind you that one of the unspoken conditions for Turkey's consent to ratify the protocol on Sweden's admission to the North Atlantic Alliance was the decision on the sale of American F-16s to Turkey. In July, there were reports that Democrat Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, was in talks with the administration and could make a positive decision on Turkey's supply of F-16s.

However, the Greek and Armenian lobby in Congress came into play and persuaded Menendez to withhold approval of Turkish fighter deliveries until Ankara reconsidered its policy towards Greece.

As a result, Turkey did not achieve any results in the Greek direction, and Ankara was fooled around the issue of Sweden's accession to NATO, without approving the delivery of F-16s.

Ukraine will not negotiate the extension of the gas transit contract with Russia, which expires at the end of 2024 — Minister of Energy of Ukraine Galushchenko.

"We will definitely not be a party to negotiations with the Russians ... I think that next year will be indicative in terms of Europe's ability to function without Russian gas at all," he said.

Well, has somebody asked Europe? German engineering, Italian design and Swiss quality — all has grown directly or indirectly from the relatively cheap Russian energy and raw materials.

Footage shot inside the HMMWV of the Ukrainian military, which brings a group of military personnel to the positions at the front line, after which it almost immediately runs into a mine.

Despite the explosion, those inside remain alive.

This is a huge cemetery in a city with 20,000 inhabitants. Kharkov region. Slobodanschina.

They are 95% Russian. About 300 thousand soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed. Almost all of them are Russian. Let's call a spade a spade. They were killed by the occupying NATO Western regime. Biden is the main killer of Ukraine. Biden and his Zelensky.

Translated from Ukrainian channel:

The General Staff is faced with a new problem in the Ukrainian Air Force, old Soviet aircraft have long exceeded their flight resource, and the constant transfer from one airfield to another (to avoid missile attacks) puts fighters out of action.

Soviet aircraft were designed for only 2,000-3,500 hours in the air, and now many have more than 4,000 hours, and experts believe that soon we will have no aviation left.

POLITICO — Banks are forcibly closing the accounts of British firms that trade with Ukrainian counterparts due to concerns over Russian sanctions and money laundering, business leaders have warned, hampering wider efforts to support Ukraine's war-ravaged economy.

Everything is fine with the car! There is only a puncture in the tire...

This is what the Ukrainian counteroffensive looks like when the West set the task of defeating Russia "by any means".

A Moscow-based musician, Alexander Losev, plays music for Ukrainians he meets through a chat roulette that randomly matches people.

Watch all of the initial tension disappear at the first sound of music in the encounter with this Ukrainian, who ends up having to hold back tears... Music does transcend borders, especially, the ones that shouldn’t even be there…

Ukraine Seeks 'Gamechanger' HIMARS Upgrade To 'Win the War'

Long-range rockets armed with cluster munitions are the key to unlocking Russia's formidable network of defenses, according to a former American adviser to Ukraine's commander-in-chief.

"If you get 2,000 cluster rockets, I think the war will be over," Rice — who is now the president of the American University Kiev — told Newsweek. "It's that simple."

Why? Why people are so stupid? How many times they will believe that new "Wunderwaffe" will be a miracle game changer? It did not happen in 1945, it didn't happen in 2022, it is not going to happen in 2023.

The Hard Truth: Ukraine Has No Realistic Path To Victory Over Russia
19FortyFive
...
The impression most analysts and pundits have is that once the Ukrainian military possesses a certain number of modern weapons, and enough of its forces undergo advanced NATO training, they will be able to match and then defeat Russia. What those beliefs expose, unfortunately, is a lack of understanding of how wars are waged and won. It is the human dimension, not the tools of combat, that determines the outcome of wars. On this front, the UAF may have already suffered irreparable loss.

Summary of the Special Military Operation for the morning of August 17, 2023

The introduction of a strategic reserve by the enemy into battle in the Orekhovsky direction of the Zaporozhye Front did not bring him any results.

Trying to break through our defenses at the Novoprokopovka-Verbove sector, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost their personnel and equipment. The issue with the supply of certain types of ammunition to anti-tank units of the Russian Armed Forces has not yet been resolved, the forced savings are compensated by artillery fire, aviation and the skillful use of kamikaze drones. Enemy troop concentrations are hit with high-explosive aerial bombs. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing British Challenger 2 tanks for combat, the operation of which in combat conditions promises to be a serious technical problem.

▪️Slightly to the west, near the settlement Rabotino, the enemy periodically penetrates to the northern outskirts of the village, from where our troops constantly knock him out.

▪️In the Vremevsky direction, the Russian Armed Forces are fighting in the settlement Staromayorskoye and Urozhaynoye, which are trying to pass the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to enter the operational space and try to break through to the “dragon's teeth” line (anti-tank tetrahedrons).

▪️South of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) there are battles near Kleshcheevka and Andreevka. On the northern flank of the direction, the enemy attacked with motorized infantry and tanks yesterday morning in the direction of Berkhovka, our soldiers from the North Sea and neighboring units destroyed the advancing enemy troops.

▪️In the Kupyansk direction, the Russian Armed Forces are developing an initiative, there are battles near Sinkovka.

▪️Yesterday morning in the Bryansk region, border guards, the National Guard and the Russian Armed Forces destroyed a new enemy subotage and reconnaissance group: 5 out of 6 saboteurs were eliminated. In the Belgorod region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired on the Krasnoyaruzhsky district. Frontline villages of Zaporozhye region under constant shelling: yesterday in the settlement Verbovoye, Pologovsky district, a civilian was killed. In the DPR, a civilian was killed by shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, two more were injured.
