President Zelenskyy: Last night, there were demonstrative Russian strikes on our airports – in Kyiv and Boryspil. Precisely targeted, for the first time in a long time. Obviously, such strikes by Russia on airports are a reaction to the discussion and preparation of the possibility for the American side to use a plane to arrive in Ukraine and land at Kyiv airport or Boryspil airport. Russian-Iranian Shaheds in response to American diplomacy.

Putin personally said there would be no mobilization and called it "nonsense." Until now, he had avoided making such statements. He was forced to do so because of the mood in Russian society, which is opposed to mobilization. After such a statement, and following President Zelenskyy’s ultimatum regarding Russian airspace, Putin will likely intensify repression inside Russia, continue escalating against Ukraine, and step up the hybrid war against the EU in order to preserve his image as a "strong president."

For the second day in a row, everyone has been laughing at this video. Yesterday, Putin, dressed in military uniform, allegedly made a rare visit to the front line, to one of the auxiliary command posts. In reality, it was a film set inside a bunker. As we can see, they have a lot of props in that bunker: 😅 A camouflage net was hung inside the building. 😅 The flooring, lighting, and acoustics all look like those of a studio. I wonder how many times they rehearsed it?

Maduro declares a state of emergency and calls for mobilization, according to Venezuela’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Russia’s war has opened Pandora’s box. Conflicts are now waged through military means. A struggle for control over Venezuelan oil is underway. Will strikes on Venezuela affect Russia’s shadow fleet? Undoubtedly. "Venezuelan oil" plays a major role for the so-called shadow fleet. At one point, Rosneft (Sechin) invested large sums in Venezuela’s oil sector. In fact, the shadow transfer of part of the oil industry to the Russians was the price paid for preserving Maduro’s regime. Today, Russians mix Russian oil with Venezuelan oil, which is also sold through the shadow fleet, and market it as oil from third countries. If Trump succeeds in a rapid change of the Maduro regime, it will not stop but will complicate the operations of Russia’s shadow fleet. Everyone also remembers, after the defeats in Syria and Iran, that Russia does not really help its "partners." The only thing it can offer is asylum for those fleeing.

⚡️ Putin said the Poles forced Hitler to attack them in 1939. Hitler just wanted to "realize his plans" and Poland was "uncooperative" and "forced" Hitler to attack and start World War II, Putin said. So, 1939, late August. Hitler: Poland, we want to annex you, agree! Poland: We don't agree, we are a sovereign state and will remain so. Hitler: You force me to conquer you by force. I declare war against you. God knows, it's your fault! And Putin says: Hitler had no choice but to start with Poland. What do you think of this interview, dear Polish followers?

A missile strike (Flamingo missiles, most likely) was carried out on the Progress Rocket Space Centre in Russia's Samara, potentially hitting the main workshop. One of the goals of the strike is to disrupt the launches of the Russian Rassvet satellite system, which is called the "Russian Starlink" in Russia. The facility is engaged in the development, modernization, and operation of launch vehicles (specifically, the Soyuz-2 series). Soyuz-2 series rockets are used for the orbital deployment of the Rassvet satellite constellation (an analog of Starlink and OneWeb). The Savasleyka military air base in Nizhny Novgorod region, where MiG-31K aircraft - carriers of the Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles - are based, was also reportedly attacked. 📹: Samara

An appalling and deeply cynical statement by a war criminal. Putin's adviser Kobyakov: Only Russia can save Ukraine - by colonizing it and resettling Russians there. He said: "Only Russia can save this country. In fact, we already did this once: when these lands were incorporated into Russia under Potemkin and Catherine, we resettled our population in Ukraine." Russia continues its imperial policy of colonization. The Russian empire deported Ukrainians to Siberia and the Far East and then settled Russians on the lands from which Ukrainians had been removed. Since 2022, Russia has also been deporting Ukrainians from Russian-occupied territories through filtration camps. After passing through them, deported Ukrainian citizens were sent en masse to remote regions of Russia - Siberia, the Far East, and beyond the Arctic Circle. Ukrainians were often deprived of their documents, given notices prohibiting them from leaving, and pressured into obtaining Russian passports. International law classifies such actions as forcible deportation and a war crime. Russia is therefore seeking, through terror and the destruction of infrastructure, to kill and drive out as many Ukrainians as possible from their native lands and then resettle those territories with Russians. Russia is openly and officially declaring the genocide it is carrying out.

The unplanned visit by CIA Director John Ratcliffe to Moscow was undoubtedly driven by specific and serious reasons. Upon returning from Moscow, Ratcliffe briefed the U.S. administration on the results of his visit. It is reported that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were also present at the White House meeting. Presumably, the CIA chief traveled to Moscow to warn Putin against any escalation targeting the Baltic states - Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. According to Politico, Ratcliffe also demanded that Moscow reduce its military and economic support for Iran and stop transfers of weapons and defense technologies. During the talks, the CIA director also reportedly urged Russia not to "overreact" to a possible tightening of sanctions against countries that maintain economic ties with Iran. Judging by the Kremlin’s reaction, it has no intention of reducing or halting the escalation. Do the U.S. and its allies have a Plan B? A rhetorical question.

Putin's order to start strikes on Ukrainian energy system are definitely not a reaction to President Zelenskyy's statement that Russia's skies are no longer safe. Russia started its strikes on our energy system back in 2022, it launches them every year and has planned to launch more all along. Escalation is indeed taking place. This is due to increased capacities for strikes both on the Ukrainian and the Russian sides. The new technologies are changing the war. Ukraine has significantly advanced our technological capacity and started launching strikes deep inside Russia that can become asymmetrical with time. Neither Russia nor Ukraine have not reached complete exhaustion of not being able to wage the war as of now. The key difference is that Ukrainians have been living within a war during all these years, and the Russians have largely been living beyond the war. If the Russian air traffic is paralyzed and the main airports would be closed that will impact not just Russia's logistics and economy but definitely the mental state of the Russians, as well. Russia had a "social agreement": Putin can wage the war but in such a way that large cities, starting with Moscow and St Petersburg, can live as if no war is happening. This agreement has not been working since the spring. Putin cannot guarantee security and has allowed to bring the war to Russia's territory.

Lukashenko was urgently summoned to meet with Putin. It will be interesting if, immediately after this urgent visit to Moscow, Lukashenko suddenly makes an unplanned trip to Beijing. The visit to Moscow comes amid increased Russian attacks on Kyiv, following CIA Director Ratcliffe’s visit to Moscow and amid accelerated construction of a military base and access roads in Belarus, directly near the border with Ukraine. Of course, Putin will discuss the war with Lukashenko. But Lukashenko will agree to allow his territory to be used for an attack on Ukraine and the Baltic states only if China tells him to do so. So far, nothing indicates that this will happen, so Lukashenko will resort to "escalation" in the information space. 📹: Lukashenko called Ukraine a "shared problem" for Russia and Belarus.
