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.

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.

Ukrainian families kicked out by UK hosts... because Whitehall cash never came: More than 1,300 refugees are now listed as either homeless or at 'high risk' of breakdown with host

By Natasha Livingstone For The Mail On Sunday 21 Aug 2022

- Delays to £350-a-month payments have left hosts unable to support refugees
- Volunteers have criticised councils' late payments amid cost of living crisis
- Councils had to backdate payments to March as government money came later
- 1,335 refugees are listed as homeless or at high risk of host relations breakdown 
- Ukrainian ambassador to UK has written to sponsors to ask them to carry on

Ukrainian refugees are being evicted by their host families because of payment delays to the Government’s flagship Homes for Ukraine scheme. 
Some 1,335 people who fled to the UK are now listed as either homeless or at high risk because of a breakdown in relations with their sponsor. 
But The Mail on Sunday has learnt that in several cases this is because of long delays to the £350-a-month ‘thank you’ payment, which has left volunteers having to dip into their own pockets to ‘cover the cracks’. 

Mariia Suslova, 65, was living in a sponsor home with her daughter-in-law Natalia, 41, and three-year-old granddaughter Sofiia but they were asked to leave a few weeks ago
Simone Schehtman, a volunteer who has paired hundreds of Ukrainian refugees with hosts across Birmingham and the West Midlands, said: ‘In general, local authorities have been very slow at delivering the payments and this has put some hosts under huge pressure. 
‘Most hosts thought they were going to be paid by the end of April, but in Birmingham the first payments came through last month.’ 
She added that some hosts were on benefits themselves. 
‘Delays and rocketing bills have caused some host-refugee relationships to fracture, and I have personally wired several hundred pounds of charity donations to hosts to cover the cracks,’ she said. 
The Homes for Ukraine scheme launched in March with the Government giving payments to councils to distribute. 
But the Local Government Association, which represents 361 councils in England and Wales, told the MoS it only received the money in June and was having to backdate payments.

Tetiana Bilousova, 37, and her two children were evicted last month after her sponsor said they hadn’t received any payment. 
‘The day I was evicted, there was no discussion,’ she said. 
‘I came home from work and suddenly I was told that tomorrow a woman would call me to move us into a hotel. 
'They did not try to find a compromise or talk through any problems. I had no idea that the Government had failed to pay them. 
‘Nobody was at fault, but sometimes English people can forget we just fled from war and that leaving Ukraine was not a happy experience. 
‘I think maybe the hosts misunderstood why I was in a bad mood and crying. 
'Yes, my children are safe with me, but my mother and husband are still in Ukraine.’ 
British hosts signed up for a minimum of six months but a recent survey by the Office for National Statistics found that a quarter do not want to carry on after this period, which ends in September. 
Some have blamed the rising cost of living for their decision and the Government is said to be considering increasing payments. 
But there are fears that many more Ukrainians will be evicted, with councils obliged to ensure they still have a roof over their heads. 
‘We are really worried about what is going to happen,’ said Lauren Scott, executive director of the charity Refugees at Home. 

An opinion from Peter Hitchens.
Well, we may not agree with everything, but he is entitled to have one... (The link may appear not relevant, but the actual "masterpiece" is there within. It looks like it is deliberately hidden).

A war in which Ukraine can do no wrong 
Have you noticed how Ukraine and Ukrainians cannot do anything bad? I think President Volodymyr Zelensky is actually quite a decent person. But his attempt to get all Russians banned from travelling to Europe is bigoted and foolish. Russians do not all agree with their government’s stupid, bloody invasion. But Zelensky gets away with this proposal because Ukraine is a sainted nation.
Now we have the weird episode of the shelling of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station which has been in Russian hands since they illegally seized it in March.
This, whatever the provocation may be, is an extraordinarily stupid thing for anyone to do. But who is doing it? Well, since the Russian Army is dug in there, it is extremely unlikely that the Russians are doing it.
So who is doing it? Martians? North Koreans? Eskimos? When I put the words ‘Ukrainians shell Zaporizhzhia’ into Google, that search engine responded by saying: ‘No results found for “Ukrainians shell Zaporizhzhia.” ’ Instead I got several accounts of the Russians apparently shelling themselves. The BBC reported online on Friday that the power station had ‘come under heavy fire’. But who from? It is not even stated. Normally reporters are urged to avoid using the passive voice. But for Ukraine, this rule has been suspended.

Opinion from Markov:

The most likely goal of the terrorist attack against Alexander Dugin and Darya Dugina and other terrorist attacks of these days, including attacks on Crimea, is to provoke Russian army strikes on the center of Kyiv on the Independence Day of Ukraine on August 24th. They really need these hits. What they have prepared? And these days there will be more terrorist strikes, provoking a harsh response from Russia. They really need a demonstration strike with Russian missiles on the center of Kyiv on August 24th.

When a few months ago the FSB (Russian Security Service) detained militants who were going to kill Vladimir Solovyov and Yevgeny Popov, many smirked indulgently. Well, well, they fabricated the case, obviously, who needs them, the journalists.

Dasha Platonova (Dugina) was killed at night. Smart, brave, real, Russian and a patriot. She certainly would have become a great philosopher in a few years. She was a unique girl.

And it doesn't matter if the Ukrainian saboteurs wanted to kill Dasha, or her father, Alexander Dugin.

Something else is important. We are dealing with a terrorist state, if anybody still had doubts, now, I hope, there are no doubts left. There will be more assassination attempts. A terrorist, having started killing, does not stop, he needs more blood, more deaths.

That is, all actions in relation to Ukraine can be built only from the understanding that this is not diplomacy, but anti-terror. Unfortunately. We are not talking about Ukrainians, not about people. I'm talking about those in power and the political elite.
