Translated from a very well informed person:

Today, at the Council of the State Duma, we supported the appeal to the UN regarding the shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant by Ukraine. If international organizations fail to cool the ardor of the Ukrainian government, we risk getting not just a second Chernobyl, but a much more terrible catastrophe. Not for Russia, but for the entire European continent.

The situation with the shelling of the ZNPP has three sides: strategic, military and economic. And in all three, the Ukrainian government demonstrates complete irresponsibility and inadequacy.

Strategically, the shelling of the ZNPP is a sign of desperation and impotence. That's not how they behave when they plan to win. This is what they do when they understand that defeat is inevitable. It’s impossible to recapture the nuclear power plant and the region, so let everything blow up. Suicidal and irresponsible logic.

From a military point of view, shelling is meaningless. ZNPP is a powerful and reliable Soviet-built facility. It cannot be destroyed by the weapons that Ukraine has, including Western supplies. But it is possible to destroy storage facilities for nuclear waste and poison the air, soil and rivers with radiation for tens or hundreds of kilometers. Turn the ZNPP into a "dirty bomb".

And about the economy. Ukraine's goal is clear: it wants either to keep ZNPP as part of the Ukrainian energy system in order to sell electricity abroad, or to achieve its conservation and thereby create a shortage of electricity in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. De-energize the liberated territories. Again, the logic of the terrorists.

American "experts" and "advisers" turn a blind eye to all this madness. The very ones that once scared everyone with a “dirty bomb” that Arab terrorists could assemble. And now the Ukrainian authorities are preparing in front of the whole world.

The US position is clear. Nothing personal just business. But is it worth putting the future of Europe and the lives of millions of people at stake? Let the United Nations answer this question. The sooner, the better.

Yet another illegal immigrant from the territory of Belarus has crossed to Poland over the fence which was recently built for the Polish border guards. The guy has injured his pow on the barbed wire, but we hope, he will be OK.

Turkey will five times increase the cost of passage through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles in accordance with the rights granted to it by the Montreux Convention, Turkish media reported.

Due to the increase in the cost of fees, the current income of $40 million will increase to $200 million. The resolution will enter into force on October 7.

Erdogan will never miss a chance to get more money...
What about export of Ukrainian grain to Africa and worldwide?
Was it all about preventing food shortage or making a source of extra income for Turkey?

Russian Aerospace Forces and air defense systems destroyed the flight personnel of the Ukrainian Air Force

According to a military-diplomatic source, the Kyiv authorities involved former cadets of the Kharkov Military Institute who did not complete their studies, which led to "catastrophic losses of the remnants of Ukrainian aviation."
Currently, the Pentagon is recruiting former Afghan combat trainer pilots for Kyiv who fled to the US a year ago, their training began in California.

🇪🇺🔌The meeting of EU energy ministers on energy prices will be held on September 9. They will discuss the increase in gas prices and the corresponding increase in prices on the electricity market, or rather, what to do about it. The statements that are still being made in the statements of the leaders of the EU countries are very vague: to separate the cost of electricity from the cost of gas. They don't talk about the mechanism of "separation", but it is already clear that the existing market has broken down. Another problem is that the bureaucratic machine and the decision-making mechanism in the EU are clumsy, this can be seen by the example of the mechanism for selling emission quotas (it takes 1.5 years to make changes), and there is practically no time for decision-making. The situation with rising prices was predictable, but European politicians preferred to hide their heads in the sand.

Their strategy was to refuse Russian gas, impose sanctions and supply weapons to Ukraine, now their policy is returning as a boomerang. As a result, the problem is overestimating their capabilities and underestimating the consequences.

🇺🇦 🇪🇺 Ukraine has asked the EU to help train sappers, snipers and officers – Bloomberg

The EU countries, during a possible training mission for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, can offer Kiev their assistance with the training of snipers, sappers or officers, it says (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-29/eu-to-propose-new-training-mission-to-boost-ukraine-s-military ) in an internal document of the EU Foreign Policy Service.

The head of the European Diplomacy, Josep Borrel, should propose to make an EU training mission for Ukraine in order to enlist the political support of defense ministers when they meet in Prague.

Bloomberg points out that the Ukrainian authorities have asked the allies for training: it is claimed that Kiev needs help with the training of sappers and snipers, as well as medical training and military training of officers.

The APU document notes that after further approval of the APU and consultations with partners, including the United States and Great Britain, the EU may include "one or more of the above-mentioned tasks" in the training mission program.

According to the document, the training mission is considered as a temporary measure that can eventually be deployed on the territory of Ukraine, "if conditions allow and the members of the European Union decide so."

It is assumed that the deployment of the mission may accelerate if one of the countries of the association allows the mission to be hosted.

Zelensky convinces Europeans that Ukraine is more important for them in energy than Russia: We are preparing to increase the export of our electricity to the EU countries - despite the war, we provide this export, and our electricity is much cheaper than it is now on the market. We can really help overcome the cost of living crisis in neighboring EU countries. This is not the first time we have said that Europe's independence from Russia, in particular in the energy sector, is of fundamental importance for all Europeans. And this is not the first time we have said that together with Ukraine Europe is able to do much more than with Russia.
