"Fantastic recognition! Simply fantastic. Just in the trend of talk about the need for early elections in a number of European countries."

"The attempt by the Ukrainian side to seize the nuclear power plant, according to the information I have from sources close to Zelensky, was carried out under the control of British intelligence services," he said.
According to him, the paratroopers were trained abroad - in the UK and Poland. They returned to Ukraine via Odessa at the end of August.
Earlier, Ukrainian troops tried to land troops three kilometers northeast of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, numbering about 60 people.

ENERGODAR, September 1 - RIA Novosti. The IAEA mission has arrived at the Zaporozhye NPP, RIA Novosti correspondent reported.
In total, there are nine vehicles with the UN inscription and several escort vehicles in the convoy. The situation at the station is calm. There are no sounds of firing.

Literally a few minutes ago, an IAEA delegation arrived at the territory of the Zaporozhye NPP, Izvestia correspondent Emil Timashev said.

The commission is already preparing to study the consequences of the shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and take notes.

Putin has arrived in Kaliningrad. Given the current international environment, this is much more brave act than Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, or Zelensky's trip somewhere 300 km away, to the front line.

Hello to all the morons who feed each other stories about the bunker in Altai.

Vladimir Putin in his meeting with the students also explained the the goals of the special operation:

According to the head of state, some accuse Russia of aggression in Ukraine, while in reality everything is different.
"No one understands or knows that after the coup d'état in Ukraine in 2014, the residents of Donetsk, Luhansk, Crimea - in large part, in any case - did not want to recognize the results of this coup," the president said.
According to Putin, Russia's task is to end the war that the Kyiv authorities launched against these people eight years ago.
"Our task, our mission, the mission of our soldiers, Donbass militias to stop this war, protect people and, of course, protect Russia itself, because on the territory of today's Ukraine they began to create an anti-Russian enclave that threatens our country," he stressed.
The President also stated the need to support Russian soldiers fighting to protect the inhabitants of Donbass and the Motherland.
"This is very important. And on the part of young people. Because the guys who fight there risk their health, and many die. They must understand what they are giving their lives for - for Russia and for the people who live in Donbas," he explained.

About teaching history in Ukraine
Putin said that Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov told him the day before how history of relations with Russia was taught in Ukraine.
“Sorry, I opened my mouth! Schoolchildren didn’t know that there was a Crimean bridge. They thought it was a fake <...> They didn’t even know that Ukraine and Russia were part of a single state — the Soviet Union,” he stressed the president.

“Who wants Turkey to be the only power in the world, being a member of NATO, continuing to negotiate with Russia?
We should always be able to talk to everyone, especially those with whom we disagree. So we will continue to do it”: Macron is furious that Erdogan can call Putin, but he can’t.

IAEA to retain permanent mission at Zaporozhye NPP

MOSCOW, September 1 - RIA Novosti. The IAEA will maintain a permanent presence at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, the organization's director general Rafael Grossi said in a video posted on his Twitter page.
“Of course, there is still a lot to be done. My team remains. And most importantly, we will organize a permanent presence here from the IAEA,” he said.

On Thursday, the agency's mission arrived at ZNPP. The head of the delegation of "Rosatom" and the staff of the station led the members of the IAEA through its territory and showed the areas affected by the shelling of Ukrainian troops.
According to Grossi, the mission was able to collect a lot of information in a few hours. The head of the organization said that he saw those "key things that he wanted to see," and tied together the facts. He also announced plans to meet with residents of Energodar.

Russia should not respond in a mirror manner to the EU countries restricting the issuance of visas to Russians, the reaction should be targeted against the organizers of the sanctions, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov believes.

“We have not discussed this yet, but I believe that in response to these Schengen walls that they are now trying to build, we do not need to reciprocate and collectively punish citizens of European countries. We have “favourite” characters who are already marked on our sanctions lists,” Lavrov said, speaking to MGIMO students on Thursday.

He stressed that Europe "is aimed at punishing all citizens of the Russian Federation."

“We should not, I think, follow the same path, respond with stupidity for stupidity.

But, of course, no one cancelled reciprocity, reciprocity must be purposefully used against the organizers, organizers, and executors of such anti-Russian sanctions,” the minister added.

Lavrov stressed that the West "will close, will spend nights and days discussing who to give a Schengen visa, how many times at the entrance to the Schengen zone to ask who he is for the Reds or for the Whites, whose Crimea."

“It's ridiculous, these people are pathetic, by and large. But we will not self-isolate," the Russian Foreign Minister added.

"The West can provide all the aid in the world, but cannot create more Ukrainians."
BY JOSHUA C. HUMINSKI in "The Hill"
Another Western "expert" has noticed, that Ukraine may run out of Ukrainians if continue the present modus operandi.

“Poland stands for the decision to seek war reparations and compensation for what the Germans did in Poland in 1939-1945”: The leader of the Polish ruling Law and Justice party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, announced the demand from Germany for reparations of 1.3 trillion euros

“1,320,000,000,000 euros”: Bild, surprised by Polish impudence, put all zeros of the amount of required reparations in the headline

"The Polish government appears to be determined to open another front in the midst of the war - the financial one against Germany"

Video from military correspondent Andrey Filatov.

We have not shown you such close combat yet. In the video filmed from a drone, the rarest footage of a shootout between the assault battalion of the 11th regiment of the People's Militia of the DPR and a separate branch of the Ukrainian troops - SSO (Special Operations Forces) is shown.

The battle takes place on the territory of the fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Pervomaisky, on the Donetsk ring road. After the retreat, the Ukrainian fighters dispersed, so our fighters have to literally pick out the Veseushniks from the "fox holes" dug under the asphalt.

Bullets fly not even a few meters, but a dozen centimeters - so that they can be heard. And all that can be seen separates the embankment. Automatic bursts and grenade explosions. Now that's close combat!
