The President conducted an open lesson, Talking of What Matters, in Kaliningrad and spoke with winners of Olympiads and competitions in culture, art, science and sport

"The requirements of the labour market are changing constantly. Science and education are going through swift and dynamic changes. Naturally, we must create a knowledge acquisition paradigm in which acquired knowledge is, on the one hand, broad enough and, on the other hand, allows us to specialise and use this knowledge in a range of industries. This will make it much easier to make the first steps in one's career path," the President stressed.

Vladimir Putin spoke to school students about theoretical and applied sciences, environmental awareness and history, mentorship and self-discipline. Young participants told the President about their hobbies and projects and asked for advice.
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.

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.

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!

Translated from Militarist:
On September 1, the Ambition cruise liner arrived in the Scottish port of Glasgow, which, together with Victoria, will be used for the temporary resettlement of Ukrainian refugees.

The Ambition liner is capable of accommodating 1,750 people in 714 cabins. It will be at anchor for six months, so the settlers can leave it at any time.

The Russian military has provided new details on the botched Ukrainian raid on the Zaporozhye nuclear plant

Kiev forces wanted to seize the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant in a daring military raid and use the personnel of the UN nuclear watchdog as “human shields” to maintain control over the facility, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed on Thursday.

The botched raid came shortly before a team of experts with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) – including the organization’s head, Rafael Grossi – arrived at the plant for an inspection. According to the Russian military, multiple Ukrainian “saboteur groups” crossed the Kakhovka Reservoir in speedboats and barges near the plant early in the morning, but were intercepted and destroyed by Russian troops and National Guard forces.

“Obviously, if the operation of the Kiev regime to seize the station was a success, the head of the IAEA, [Rafael] Grossi, and the experts of the mission would become a ‘human shield’ for Ukrainian saboteurs to prevent any attempts to destroy them by the Russian armed forces,” the Russian MoD said in a statement.

The operation aimed at capturing the nuclear power plant appears to have been “planned in advance by Zelensky’s regime,” the Russian military suggested. Moreover, the delay in Grossi’s visit to the installation, originally planned for August 31, stemmed from the Ukrainians’ need for more time to get ready for that “military provocation,” it alleged.

The ultimate goal of the operation was seizing control of the plant, while the presence of the IAEA team would have allowed the “saboteurs” to not only take cover from any potential Russian actions, but also to cement the new “status quo,” the military said. The success of the operation would have likely been reinforced by a “new wave of loud statements from Washington and European capitals, calling upon Russia to establish a ‘demilitarized zone’ around the nuclear plant, with IAEA observers guarded by Ukrainian troops,” it asserted.

“In this regard, we fully understand the complete silence of all Western sponsors of the Zelensky regime, which de-facto confirms their tacit participation in the preparation of today’s provocation at the Zaporozhye plant,” the military concluded.

From Peter Hitchens blog in Daily Mail:

I ask you to think very hard about what the Prime Minister said in Kiev a few days ago: ‘If we’re paying in our energy bills for the evils of Vladimir Putin, the people of Ukraine are paying in their blood.’

Mr Johnson added: ‘We must keep going. We must show as friends of Ukraine that we have the same strategic endurance as the leaders of Ukraine.’

Must we? Till when? Is this either a conservative or a patriotic thing to say? Is it even sensible? Pause before you answer. War is often popular to begin with. But it has a nasty way of ruining the lives of those who once cheered for it.

By the middle of the First World War, Britain had bankrupted itself and the flower of our young manhood had been churned into the Flanders mud. Millions had paid, both in blood and wealth, a savage price for a war that almost all would one day agree was a mistake.

Lord Lansdowne, a veteran Tory and former Foreign Secretary, wrote to The Times newspaper to suggest it was time to make peace.

The Times refused to publish the letter. He was pretty much driven from public life. He was falsely derided as an unpatriotic defeatist, when he was the opposite.

If he had been listened to, we would have had no Russian Revolution, no Stalin, no Hitler, no Mussolini, and no Second World War.

Britain would have survived as a major power for many decades longer than she did. Almost all wars end in ugly compromise. We were only able to defeat Hitler because Stalin was on our side, and he exacted a huge price – including gobbling up Poland, the country whose independence we had gone to war to save.

I’m not going to argue at length about what the war in Ukraine really is, though I view it as a futile conflict.

I think it was brought about by long years of stupid goading of Russia by the USA – and by the even stupider decision by Putin to respond with a lawless, gory invasion. That’s my view, dismiss it if you like.

After all, what do I know? I’ve only lived in the region and been closely interested in it for decades. So I’m disqualified from the national debate – under the rule that it is now a positive disadvantage to know anything about the subject under discussion.
