A drone flew into the roof of the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol.

This was stated by the Governor of Sevastopol. "Unfortunately, he was not shot down, although small arms were working above the bay. Was passing very low. There are no victims".

Obviously, the strikes are symbolic - just to show that the Armed Forces of Ukraine can reach our decision-making centers. There were no casualties from the impact, the roof was damaged at the headquarters, a fire broke out. Judging by the video, the Armed Forces of Ukraine used UAVs of their own design PD-1, which is produced by UkrSpecSystems. Flight range up to 450 km.

​​⚡️"Today we are witnessing another vivid manifestation of the Nazi policy, when the Russophobic idea of banning all Russian citizens from entering the European Union is being actively promoted from high tribunes in Europe," said Sergei Shoigu.

▫️He noted, however, that the fundamental principles of the world order and the legal and political evaluations of the Nuremberg Tribunal were increasingly ignored and revised by individual countries, in particular the Baltic States.

▫️"SS legionnaires' marches have become traditional in Estonia and Latvia, with monuments and obelisks erected to war criminals. Nazi slogans and appeals are openly heard in the streets of Lithuanian cities," said the Head of the Russian Defence Ministry.

▫️He quoted Georgi Dimitrov, who called fascism "bestial chauvinism, medieval barbarism and unbridled aggression against other peoples and countries".

▫️"In the 1930s, fascist dictatorial regimes were established in Spain, Portugal, Romania, Croatia and several other states. The most radical and aggressive form was German Nazism," said Sergei Shoigu.

▫️He stressed that the National Socialists' rise to power was due to their funding by international capital.

▫️"It is clear that the financial and economic co-operation between Anglo-American and Nazi business circles was a major factor leading to the Second World War, which cost humanity unprecedented human lives," the minister said.

▫️He recalled that the aggression against the Soviet Union was the most brutal.

▫️"27 million dead. No other nation in the world has paid such a price. Of the total number of victims, nearly 14 million were civilians. This is a direct consequence of the Nazi policy pursued by the invaders," Shoigu said.

▫️He stressed that "the lessons of history are poorly learned by those who, relying on their own power, perpetrate violence".

▫️"The bombing of Yugoslavia, the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, the nurturing of terrorist structures in Syria. These and similar crimes always have specific instigators and perpetrators. Responsibility for such actions and their consequences lies squarely with the leadership of the United States and NATO," said Shoigu.

Attention. Translated from an Ukrainian channel.

The British decided to give a public signal to the Office of the President that "we need to continue", to pump the case of the NPP.

Here a member of the British Parliament Tobias Ellwood, voiced a hint:

"Any deliberate damage to the Ukrainian nuclear reactor with a possible radiation leak would be a violation of NATO Article 5," he wrote.

The President's office began to disperse this with a hint that here was a chance to get NATO involved. You just have to sacrifice Energodar (town, where the Zaporozhye NPP is located).

According to our data, no one will fight for Ukraine. Especially NATO. Even if the Russian Federation bangs a nuclear bomb on Kiev. In this case, they can only ban everyone from trading with Russia, try to make North Korea out of it, and then it won't work, the Russian Federation is too huge a country where everything is, and the capitalists are too greedy for money and will come up with schemes to circumvent their own sanctions.

That's what an explosion in Energodar can give to the President's Office and Western curators.
1. Ukraine will be able to knock out another couple of billion in financial aid. Yes, money is very important to them, otherwise the whole house of cards will collapse. So the curators are forcing Zelensky to raise the stakes.
2. The President's office will get even more weapons. Perhaps aircraft and air defense.
3. The case of the Russian Federation-the terrorist country will be pumped even more.
4. Russia will get polluted territories on which it will be necessary to spend a lot of money.
5. Russia will lose a large nuclear power plant (its cost is more than $ 30 billion).
6. This will pollute the water that goes to the Crimea, which will complicate life on the peninsula. It will cease to be a tourist attraction or anything at all.
7. The Western lobby will increase military contracts. Pharmaceutical lobbies will get their profits, politicians will get an anti-Russian media content for a long time.

Russia will only get problems.

Our source explains that the President's Office knows that they are not able to recapture the territories of Energodar, Kherson, Melitopol, which means they need to be made deserted.

In any situation, look for who will benefit. It is not in the Russians' interests to swing the situation around a nuclear power plant, even the most stupid will understand.

Ukrainian troops launched an artillery strike on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and the suburbs of Energodar, the city authorities told RIA Novosti.
The strike on the Zaporizhzhya NPP was delivered from Western long-range weapons. Critical plant facilities intact, authorities reported.

Ukrainian terrorists launched a missile attack on an ambulance station in Lysichansk.
Several people were injured, ambulances were damaged.

Russian Defense Ministry announced the use of chemical weapons by Ukraine

The use of chemical poisonous substances was carried out against Russian military and civilians.

- July 31 this year Russian servicemen who performed tasks in the area of ​​​​the village of Vasilyevka, Zaporozhye region, were taken to a military hospital with signs of severe poisoning. As a result of the survey, a poisonous substance, botulinum toxin type "B", was found in the body of military personnel.

- In order to establish the causes of poisoning, specialists from the Main Research and Testing Institute of Military Medicine of the Russian Ministry of Defense (St. Petersburg) conducted an additional analysis that unequivocally confirmed the presence of an organic poison of artificial origin - botulinum toxin type "B".

- Currently, on the fact of chemical terrorism sanctioned by the Zelensky regime, the Russian Federation is preparing supporting documents with the results of all the analyzes carried out.

- Evidence of chemical terrorism of the Kyiv regime will soon be officially sent to the OPCW through the permanent mission of Russia.

- Taking into account the received evidence of state terrorism of the Kyiv regime, an additional investigation is currently being carried out on the poisoning of the head of the provisional administration of the Kherson region V. Saldo with chemical warfare agents.

Attention. Translated from Ukrainian channel:

The Western media acknowledged the fact that a counteroffensive against Kherson was not possible. After several months of statements by Ukrainian officials that in a few weeks we will begin to liberate the occupied territories, there was a severe disappointment. The Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have such resources, and all statements were pure dpin, the purpose of which is to manipulate the attention of Ukrainians. However, if the Ukrainians got used to such “promises”, everyone in the West would realize the real situation soon so that could play against Ukraine in the future.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸 US President Joe Biden is facing a difficult choice after Indonesian leader Joko Widodo's announcement that Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping will attend the G20 summit this year: join the event with the two leaders he tried to isolate, or skip the meeting and give up the chance to influence its outcome. Bloomberg writes about this.

"In any case, it was news Biden didn't want to hear when Indonesian President Joko Widodo said on Thursday that Putin and Xi would most likely attend a meeting in Bali. This opens up the possibility of a direct meeting between Putin and Biden. Even if they avoid shaking hands, the couple will literally share the stage during meetings, photo shoots and ceremonial events that accompany such a meeting," the publication says.

Biden lobbied for Russia's exclusion from the G-20 after the start of a special operation in Ukraine, and U.S. officials previously pressured Indonesia to exclude Russian President Vladimir Putin from the Bali summit.
