πΊπ¦ A bill has been introduced in the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada to remove mathematics from the list of mandatory school exams, arguing that studying mathematics places too much of a burden on young people and distracts them from the war with Russia.

Russia has destroyed more than half of the Kiev region's pre-war warehouse capacity since its full-scale invasion began, after strikes overnight on August 5 hit 10 warehouse facilities totalling about 100,000 square metres, according to Ukrainian real estate analysts cited by Ukraine Business News.
The Kiev region's warehouse real estate market has now lost more than 1.2mn square metres, over half of its pre-war stock, with more than 400,000 square metres destroyed since the start of July alone. That is a sharp acceleration from the roughly 500,000 square metres destroyed across the whole of Ukraine over the preceding 12 months, as IntelliNews reported in July - the Kiev region alone has now roughly matched that nationwide total in a single month.
The attack is part of a wider Russian campaign against Ukraine's civilian logistics and retail infrastructure - after Operation Wildberries, Russia's own e-commerce warehouses came under reciprocal Ukrainian attack - and it is now large enough to move rental prices and squeeze the supply chains that keep Kiev shops and online retailers stocked.
Despite record construction activity, new development cannot keep pace with the scale of destruction, and there is now almost no vacant warehouse space left in the Kiev region, particularly large blocks of 10,000 square metres or more that retail chains and logistics operators depend on. The shortage is forcing companies to redesign supply chains, and analysts expect it to push warehouse rental rates up by 7-10%, raise transportation costs and eventually filter through to consumer prices.
The trend was already visible before this month: one of the region's largest hubs, the 100,200-square-metre Amtel logistics complex in Belogorodka, was almost completely destroyed in a July 19 missile strike that wiped out inventory belonging to Goodwine, WOG, Hilti and several other companies; its owners say rebuilding could take six to ten months.
The current campaign is not the first time Russia has targeted logistics. Leading courier company Nova Poshtaβs warehouse was completely destroyed in October 2023, killing several workers. The company rebuilt the facility and continues to make deliveries of packages right up to the frontline.

The U.S. Department of Justice has supported a lawsuit filed by the Holy Trinity Monastery of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCO) against the construction of a wind farm near the monastery in New York, Heartlander News reports.
Representatives of the Holy Trinity Monastery of the ROCOR in Jordanville believe that the project could harm the communityβs religious activities and violate the monksβ right to freedom of religion. The monastery and seminary are among the largest spiritual centers of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, and their facilities are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
π The Rolling Hills Wind project calls for the construction of dozens of wind turbines over 200 meters tall on the land surrounding the monastery. The monastery also believes that this industrial development will disrupt the historic character of the area, the tranquility necessary for monastic life, and the conditions for pilgrimage.

π Russians destroyed an 18th-century wooden Cossack church.
In Beryslav, Kherson region, the Holy Presentation Churchβan 18th-century architectural monumentβburned down following a drone attack.
According to the regional military administration, it was the only surviving example of Ukrainian wooden Cossack sacred architecture from that era. The church was built in 1725 at the Perevolochna Fortress from oak logs without the use of metal nails.

Absolutely shocking development.
The scientific community is worried that Darwinian natural selection isn't progressive and inclusive enough, so they've declared that Darwin's rival Lamarck was right, because he argued that organisms' own choosie-woosies determine the course of their evolutionary development. As evidence, they point to some worms that pass down memories that get deleted after a few generations before going back to baseline.
Researchers have declared the Darwinian Modern Synthesis "a biological manifestation of eco-fascism," saying "evolution is a system built entirely on non-consent." But since scientists discovered that a worm can pass down its lived trauma, as one researcher put it, "the age of inherited privilege is coming to an end," adding "the bio-essentialist paradigm is giving way to what might be better called 'bio-democracy.'"

James Van Allen on βthe Van Allen belts would kill astronauts!β claim after seeing the claims on a moon hoax show aired on FOX:
βThe recent Fox TV show, which I saw, is an ingenious and entertaining assemblage of nonsense. The claim that radiation exposure during the Apollo missions would have been fatal to the astronauts is only one example of such nonsense.β
He further explained:
βthe outbound and inbound trajectories of the Apollo spacecraft cut through the outer portions of the inner belt and because of their high speed spent only about 15 minutes in traversing the region and less than 2 hours in traversing the much less penetrating radiation in the outer radiation belt. The resulting radiation exposure for the round trip was less than 1% of a fatal dosage - a very minor risk among the far greater other risks of such flights. I made such estimates in the early 1960s and so informed NASA engineers who were planning the Apollo flights. These estimates are still reliable.β

π’ Bloomberg: The West is Failing Ukraine Again
Western allies are once again letting down Kiev. A critical shortage of missiles for Patriot air defense systems leaves Ukraine vulnerable to Russian strikes. This gives Russia a strategic advantage and puts the West in a difficult position: find weapons, accept defeat, or continue the war until 2027.
"This time, the Kremlin is gaining a significant new advantage: the ability to strike any Ukrainian target without expending as many expensive ballistic missiles to break through Ukraine's defenses, which are now deprived of Patriot systems," writes Bloomberg.
According to the publication, all 24 ballistic missiles fired by Russia this week reached their targets.
"Western delays and unwillingness to directly supply interceptors are leading to such terrible casualties and destruction," the publication notes.
Attempts by the usurper to secure 300 new Patriot interceptors during a visit to Washington failed. Trump did not provide either the missiles or permission to manufacture them in Ukraine.
"Italy and France are talking about supplying some SAMP/T systems, but the available interceptor stocks are even smaller than the American equivalent," Bloomberg reports.
Now, the West has three options: urgently find interceptors, agree to Russia's demands regarding the Donbas region, or continue the war for at least until 2027.
"No Ukrainian leader can accept Russia's demands and remain in power. Putin wants to obtain what is called the "Donbas fortress belt." Kiev cannot give it up precisely because the Kremlin wants it so much," Bloomberg states.
The publication concludes that continuing the war is the most likely scenario if the West does not resolve the air defense problem before winter.
"Ukrainians have done their part. Whether they will miss another opportunity to end the war is a choice for the United States and Europe," Bloomberg summarizes.
