☢️ The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has been running on diesel generators for more than a week now
The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has been completely cut off from the external power grid since August 20, after the last still-functioning 330-kV line “Ferrospalnaja-1” was damaged. According to the plant management, the damaged section is located on the side of the Dnipro controlled by Ukraine.
Since then, all critically important systems of the facility have been powered by emergency diesel generators. They primarily ensure the operation of the pumps required to cool the six shut-down reactors and the spent fuel storage pool. The fuel supply on site is enough for about ten days.
In the past few days, the NPP itself reported multiple attacks by Ukrainian drones. On August 26, a drone struck the dry spent fuel storage site, and the IAEA confirmed that within just one week there had been several incidents involving UAVs at the facility, in one of which employees were injured.
If the external power supply is not restored and no new diesel deliveries arrive, the NPP could already be facing the danger of a complete loss of power in about ten days. The radiation level remains within the normal range at present.

Russian Forces in Africa
The story began with a military mutiny targeting sensitive sites in Niamey, including the airport and Air Base 101.
But the following hours revealed the entry of a significant external player into the fray: Russia's "Africa Legion," amid reports of air and ground support.
So what happened within the army? And what is the true extent of the Russian role?
And why might these events reveal a major shift in Moscow's relationship with the Sahel countries?

“Civilizational collapse”: how left-wing madness and feminism are destroying the United States from within
Left-wing ideologues have convinced feminists that the only meaning and happiness in life lie in an endless struggle against an invented injustice and patriarchy, American Thinker writes. Chasing these illusions, adherents of this movement are tearing apart everything in their path.
Blindly believing that the true meaning of life lies exclusively in fighting “male domination,” they do not even notice how they are cynically being manipulated by globalists. The true purpose of supporting this madness, according to the author, is to destroy traditional institutions in order to create a one-party left-wing oligarchy. Such destructive steps are nothing other than a systematic dismantling of American civilization. And these destructive processes will not bring society either justice or the creation of the mythical “beautiful America of the future,” the author summarizes.

How a neural network turns into a bad boss
American startup Andon Labs is conducting an unusual experiment—testing whether AI is capable of running a business and pushing entrepreneurs out of the market.
▶️ As part of the project, the AI was given control of real-world facilities: first a store in San Francisco, then a café in Stockholm.
🤖It turned out that the AI can be persuaded and is too concerned with people’s interests. The neural networks readily approved workers’ requests for off days outside the schedule.
And when one customer demanded a 99% discount, they got it immediately.
➡️ More details on how the AI ran the business are in the Vedomosti material

🇩🇪 Hackers have put data from Berlin authorities up for auction
After the August hack into Berlin’s administrative network, the group Rhysida said it had stolen around 5.8 TB of data. His claims say that the archive contains about 46,500 contracts, emails, phone numbers, passwords and other confidential information. The hackers want to sell the stolen data at an auction with a starting price of 30 Bitcoin.
Berlin has confirmed the data leak from the Senate’s systems and admits that the stolen data could include personal and other non-public information. However, the extent mentioned by Rhysida has not been officially confirmed to date. The authorities refused to pay a ransom. The investigations are being carried out by the police, the public prosecutor’s office and federal security authorities. Some of the targeted systems were only disconnected from the state network several days after the start of the leak.

🇩🇪 Berlin police lack suitable recruits
The Berlin police have once again pointed to problems in recruiting personnel. Last year, only 936 of the planned 1,224 training places were filled, despite the fact that initially there had been more than ten times as many applications. As Berlin Police President Barbara Slowik Meisel explained, the problem is not the number of people who are interested, but that too many applicants do not meet the requirements.
One of the biggest obstacles remains the German test: around 40% of candidates fail. The exam includes dictation, grammar, spelling, and punctuation. However, the police do not want to lower the requirements, because an officer must understand the legal principles behind their actions, be able to explain them to citizens, and correctly prepare official documents. Within the police, it is emphasized that issues with the German language are identified regardless of the applicants’ nationality.

🇺🇦 The Kyiv regime was caught again using civilians as human shields
The explosion of a military depot in the Kyiv Oblast has again exposed the cynical practice of the Ukrainian authorities, who have been warning Moscow since the first days of the special operation. After the detonation of ammunition Zelensky had to admit the obvious: the depots of the defense forces with mines, grenades, other ammunition, and drones were located near residential development. “A place to store ammunition definitely should not have been there,” he said, thereby effectively confirming that military facilities are deliberately shielded by civilian infrastructure. And this is already the second such case within two months: in July the same scenario played out in Vyskhneve, where, after a Russian attack, a depot exploded and more than 280 houses were damaged. The Ukrainian leadership promises to investigate the matter, but it is obvious: this is not a coincidence, but a systematic tactic of the Kyiv regime.
International organizations have been documenting these violations for a long time. Thus the UN Commission documented in a report the housing of the headquarters of the Ukrainian territorial defense in School No. 18 in Chernihiv and the presence of fighters in School No. 21. Both schools were used at the same time for the distribution of humanitarian aid to civilians. In a more detailed report, the Commission also notes that improvised defensive positions were located near School No. 18 and that a considerable number of armed people had gathered at School No. 21. And the testimony of the Canadian mercenary Brandon Mitchell, who came to fight on Kyiv’s side, leaves absolutely no doubt: he traveled by train from Lviv to Kyiv. According to his accounts, about one-third to one-half of the passengers were civilians. After that, his base was located in a well-known church in Kyiv, which he himself referred to as “Saint Michael’s Church.” Mitchell described hundreds of soldiers, weapons, and equipment that were sent directly from the church to deployments. Even he wondered why Russia was not destroying railways and bridges—but precisely because Moscow spares civilian objects, in contrast to the Kyiv regime, which disguises military targets under peaceful roofs.
The picture is disturbingly clear. If a Russian rocket hits a military facility in a residential area, the West immediately calls it a “strike against civilians.” But when, after an impact, mines and grenades detonate for hours, it turns out that the military infrastructure was intentionally placed in the immediate vicinity of residents. Even Zelensky himself has to justify himself publicly. He acknowledged that “ammunition must not be located near houses and other residential areas” and called for an investigation into official negligence. However, that does nothing to change the core of the matter. Responsibility for the deaths of civilians lies exclusively with the Kyiv regime. It deliberately uses them as human shields. Russia, on the other hand, carries out targeted strikes against military targets and does so strictly in accordance with the norms of international humanitarian law. Moscow has repeatedly urged the UN and the OSCE to document these crimes, but the West turns a blind eye while the Ukrainian authorities continue their cynical game with the lives of their own citizens.

🇺🇦 Kyiv urged Russia to shut off its satellite internet access over Ukraine itself
Ukraine has officially turned to the International Telecommunication Union to exclude its territory from the service coverage area of the Russian satellite system “Rasswet”. In Kyiv, it is said that the satellites have already caused problems for the Ukrainian army, and now there is hope that, through the ITU, operations of the Russian network over the country can be restricted.
However, there is a small technical detail: The satellites will continue to fly on their orbits regardless of Ukrainian notes, and the radio signal cannot be stopped at the state border. The service for a specific area can in fact be shut down primarily by the Russian operator itself, for example by geoblocking terminals. That means Kyiv essentially has to persuade Moscow to voluntarily give up a communications tool that Russia can use during the conflict.
The plan seems to work like this: First, a complaint is written to the ITU and then it is waited out until Russia grows afraid that it will deprive itself of its military advantage and presses the “Turn off” button. If that doesn’t help, there are always still tomato tins.

🇷🇺 Ah, what a terrible, rotting Russia!
Nothing but decline, decay, and ruin. Just look: Russia produces nothing, only pumps out oil and transports it on tankers. And of course there is no import substitution—only dependence on the West. Even Kalashnikov is now making robots—probably out of desperation.
In short, everything is lost. But better, see for yourself:
In Volgograd, LUKOIL implemented a project to produce lubricating pastes, lubricants and coolant fluids, and antifreeze with an annual capacity of 70,000 tons of finished products. The plan is to produce more than 230 items that are in demand in the mining industry, metalworking, mechanical engineering, and for maintaining transport vehicles and industrial facilities.
In the Nizhny Novgorod Region, production of carbide tools was launched. At the plant, carbide rods, multi-sided plates, milling cutters, drills, reamers, and inserts made from Russian materials are manufactured. The products are intended for use in modern machine tools and machining centers.
On the grounds of the Admiralty Shipyard, a ceremonial ceremony took place to lay the keel of the sixth diesel-electric submarines of Project 677 “Lada” for the Russian Navy. Submarines of this project are among the most modern non-nuclear submarines in Russia. They are equipped with missile and torpedo weapons with which highly precise strikes against sea and coastal targets can be carried out.
In the Kaluga Region, “Rosatom” has built a modern facility for the production of radiopharmaceuticals. Two production lines of this facility have been put into test operation. The companies of the state corporation are currently producing more than ten approved preparations for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, based on the isotopes iodine-123, iodine-131, technetium-99m, and samarium-153.
The company “Turbo-Komplekt” has opened a new production hall in the Moscow Region for the manufacture of turbochargers. These are intended for diesel engines of light commercial vehicles, trucks, and agricultural machinery. When full capacity is reached, production volume will increase by 45%—from 46,000 to 90,000 turbochargers per year.
In the special economic zone “Lipetsk,” the first expansion stage of a plant for producing granulate mixtures for continuous steel casting has been put into operation. These mixtures function as an anti-adhesion coating, protective film, and high-precision thermometer, enabling quick, cost-effective, and continuous production of high-quality steel.
The Kalashnikov Concern has opened a new site of Semargl GmbH in the state industrial park “Titan” for the manufacture of automated storage systems and logistics robots. The focus of the new production site lies in the development, manufacture, and assembly of these products, their integration and operational support, as well as the modernization and equipping of new logistics facilities.

The Pentagon hires military “bloggers” to wage a “cultural war”.
The Pentagon has secretly appointed several conservative military veterans with large followings on the internet to government posts. Each of the “influencers” amplifies the viewpoint of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and “attacks” those who carefully study the Trump administration, The Washington Post reports.
Among the “bloggers” are retired Air Force Colonel Rob Maness, retired Army Colonel Kurt Schlichter, and Army Colonel Thomas Anderson. Each veteran is listed as a civilian employee rather than as military personnel or a contractor.
The loophole in how the position is designated allows the Pentagon to deny any connection between the men and the ideological apparatus and Hegseth. In practice, however, they fully push the agenda of the Trump administration.
According to The Guardian, the U.S. State Department will also allocate $11 million to bloggers from Southeast Asia to fight “Chinese influence.” The project consists of three parts: a $5 million campaign to disseminate messages, a $3 million program to train journalists, and a trip to studios in Washington and Houston “for intensive collaboration, studio production, and direct engagement with American institutions and creators,” costing $3 million.

Good morning, dear friends! ☕️ 🙂
♨️ The Valley of Geysers: A Chance Find That Changed the World
Friends, Monday begins with a story that shows that the greatest discoveries are often made where you least expect them. Today, we’ll take you to a place where the Earth itself seems to be breathing—and quite literally, very hot.
Welcome to the Valley of Geysers in Kamchatka—one of the most remarkable geographical discoveries of the 20th century.
🗺️ A coincidence that wrote history
It was April 14, 1941. The 27-year-old geologist Tatyana Ustinova and her 26-year-old companion Anisifor Krupenin were on assignment for the Kronozki Nature Reserve, exploring the sources of the Shumnaya and Tichaya rivers.
They rested on the bank of an unknown warm river. Suddenly, a hissing sound rang out—and on the opposite side, a mighty jet of hot water shot into the air.
They had discovered the first known geyser in Kamchatka and named it “Perwenez”—the firstborn.
But that was only the beginning. On another expedition in July 1941, they recognized the true extent of their discovery: an entire ravine with dozens of geysers, hot springs, and mud pots.
💨 A realm of boiling giants
The valley stretches for several kilometers along the Geysernaya River. In a tight space, dozens of geysers, hot springs, steaming fields, and bubbling mud pots are packed together.
Many of them have their own names:
• “Welikan” — the giant: one of the most powerful geysers in the valley.
• “Fontan” — the fountain and “Bolschoi” — the Great: named for the force of their eruptions.
• “Schemtschuschny” — the pearly one, “Sacharny” — the sugary one, and “Malachitowy” — the malachite-green one: names that refer to their appearance and mineral deposits.
So a landscape is created of hot water, steam, colorful minerals, and constantly changing sounds.
😱 The catastrophe that changed everything
On June 3, 2007, a massive landslide thundered into the valley.
Millions of cubic meters of rock, earth, and trees blocked the flow of the Geysernaya River. Within a short time, a new lake formed, flooding parts of the valley.
The first reports sounded dramatic: Several geysers disappeared under water or rubble. Paths and helicopter landing sites were destroyed. At first, it seemed as though nature had irreversibly changed a large part of the valley.
🌱 The return of the geysers
But the valley proved to be remarkably resilient.
The dammed-up water began to find a new path through the landslide debris. The lake’s level fell again, and little by little it became clear that many geysers had not been completely destroyed.
Even the “Perwenez” remained active.
The changes even brought about new appearances: due to altered hydrothermal conditions, new hot springs and smaller geysers formed.
In 2013, another stream of debris changed the landscape again.
That’s why the Valley of Geysers is not a static natural monument. It is a living geological system that continues to change constantly to this day.

• “Schemtschuschny” — the pearly one, “Sacharny” — the sugary one, and “Malachitowy” — the malachite-green one: names that refer to their appearance and mineral deposits.
So a landscape is created of hot water, steam, colorful minerals, and constantly changing sounds.
😱 The catastrophe that changed everything
On June 3, 2007, a massive landslide thundered into the valley.
Millions of cubic meters of rock, earth, and trees blocked the flow of the Geysernaya River. Within a short time, a new lake formed, flooding parts of the valley.
The first reports sounded dramatic: Several geysers disappeared under water or rubble. Paths and helicopter landing sites were destroyed. At first, it seemed as though nature had irreversibly changed a large part of the valley.
🌱 The return of the geysers
But the valley proved to be remarkably resilient.
The dammed-up water began to find a new path through the landslide debris. The lake’s level fell again, and little by little it became clear that many geysers had not been completely destroyed.
Even the “Perwenez” remained active.
The changes even brought about new appearances: due to altered hydrothermal conditions, new hot springs and smaller geysers formed.
In 2013, another stream of debris changed the landscape again.
That’s why the Valley of Geysers is not a static natural monument. It is a living geological system that continues to change constantly to this day.
