🇸🇳In Senegal, the authorities arrested opposition leader Ousmane Sonko, sparking protests across the country

🗣49-year-old Sonko was sentenced to two years in prison for a separate charge of "inciting youth".

🤷‍♂️Ousmane Sonko is known for his "anti-establishment" stance and criticism of the cordial relations of the Senegalese elite with France, although he notes that he "has nothing against France or any other country". According to Sonko, the ties between Senegal and France are based on relations that are not entirely beneficial for Senegal.

👨‍💻After Sonko's political party was disbanded, the Senegalese government temporarily shut down internet access.

🎵 A decision was made today to block TikTok:

💭"Tik Tok is a social network favored by miscreants for spreading hateful and subversive messages that threaten stability in the country. As a result, the operation of Tik Tok in Senegal has been suspended until further notice," the statement from the Ministry of Communication, Telecommunications and Digital Economy of Senegal read.

🤕Yesterday, two people died during the protests as a result of a bus they were traveling in being set on fire. The youth, with calls to free Sonko, are still on the streets.

🇫🇷France risks losing influence in yet another African country..

⏩Vuhledar direction

➕Mykilske: there is progress of the Defense Forces on the northern outskirts of the settlement. The enemy was driven out in the area of Mykilske dachas. The advance was made a few days ago. After securing the fighters, for their safety at their request, the update is happening only now.

➕Solodke: the combat line was updated, as well as the successes of the Defense Forces have been marked. Thanks to the coordinated work of 💀72nd Mechanized Brigade and 🗡️79th Air Assault Brigade, the russians were driven out of their positions north of Solodke.

💬We also add a comment from a fighter of the 72nd Mechanized Brigade about these successes: "This is a very important area on this segment, in particular, there are important road connections there, as well as it is a way into the rear of Vuhledar. But here are strong people who ensure the defense. The 72nd and 79th brigades in a very strong mutual cooperation, constantly in contact with coordinated actions carry out the defense of the front section, controlling every step of the enemy. They also make successful advances with the liberation of territories. Meter by meter, landing by landing we will liberate! The 72nd and 79th send a fiery greeting to the enemy and since the holidays are coming soon, the Sheriff's group and the Executioner's group will definitely visit them with gifts."

🤙🏻We keep in touch and follow the events.

During the exercises, it is planned to "test the readiness of the Naval Forces to defend national interests in an operationally significant area and coordinate the work of various levels of command."

🇵🇱Poland's Ministry of National Defense commented on the situation at sea:

💭"We are constantly monitoring the situation, using all available resources in the Baltic Sea. The Polish Armed Forces are cooperating with NATO partners," the Ministry told PAP.

📅This is the second exercise by the aggressor country in two months - right after the start of NATO exercises on June 5, the Ministry of Defense of Muscovy announced maneuvers involving 3,500 servicemen, 40 ships, and 25 aircraft in the Baltic region.

🇷🇴Another instance of NATO airspace violation

📍The head of the Romanian commune of Ceatalchioi reported that on the night of August 1-2, when the muscovites attacked the Ukrainian city of Izmail, residents of his commune saw 3 UAVs.

⚠️ According to him, people reported that 3 drones flew right over their houses, one of them fell in the forest. The shockwave knocked out windows in some homes. Efforts were made to locate the downed drone, but without success. The forest where it fell is marshy and lacks any roads.

🔹 Once again, muscovite weapons weapons are entering NATO airspace, which in turn seems to ignore these occurrences. The first such instance took place in March 2022, when a Tu-141 UAV crashed in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, having flown over Romania and Hungary. Since NATO even hesitates to shoot down these targets, similar incidents will continue until there is a response.

🇷🇺 Remember, the katsaps understand only force, and they only take advantage of signs of weakness!

🇱🇹🇧🇾 Lithuania is closing two border checkpoints with Belarus

👤 The checkpoints in question are "Šumskas" and "Tvirachus."

💭"A decision to close two checkpoints will be taken soon. If today Poland has practically one checkpoint, we have six. One of the preventive measures would be to reduce the number of checkpoints from six to four," Deputy Interior Minister Arnoldas Abramavičius told LRT on Friday.

✅This decision was made in response to the redeployment of mercenaries from the wagner group and provocations on the border with Poland.

📍The battle for Novoselivske is ongoing - the enemy continues to press on the village

🗓 Our fighters continue to resist the pressure of the katsap horde in Novoselivske. On August 1-2, at least 3 enemy tanks were hit: 2 in the south of the village, and one at the crossing. In fact, a video of the hits has appeared on the page of the 25th Separate Airborne Brigade. The katsap is pressing in numbers; as of August 3, they have managed to seize two outer streets adjacent to the railway, which they continue to reinforce with manpower.

Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on August 3rd, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian, Siverskyi and Bilhorod directions — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — the enemy conducted active offensive actions in Novoselivske on August 1-2. As of August 3, they managed to occupy 3 streets up to the railway. The 25th Separate Airborne Brigade published footage of the destruction of 3 tanks in the village. A difficult situation remains in the Serebryansk forestry, where the katsaps continue to pressure and significantly manage to maintain the momentum of this pressure. Attempts by the enemy to attack Synkivka have resumed. The enemy's advancement in Bilohorivka (L) has been clarified; in addition, there is pressure on the industrial zone with the aim of displacing the Defense Forces from it. Unfortunately, the loss of positions in the forests in the first half of the year significantly worsened the position of our forces in this village.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — no changes. Heavy fighting continues on the northern flank from Bakhmut, as well as in Klishchiivka, near Andriivka, and Kurdyumivka. The enemy is deploying significant reserves and trying to hold the area at any cost. The situation is described as very difficult by the front-line soldiers, and unfortunately, it's not as easy as it seems to analysts in the West. Incidentally, their criticism of our actions is absolutely worthless, as they themselves have not faced an enemy of this level.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — the f**kers periodically attempts to attack Avdiivka from Kruta Balka. The city itself is hit daily by rockets.

▶️ On the Berdyansk direction — fighting continues nearPryyutne and west of Staromayorske. In Urozhayne, the Katsaps are fully experiencing American democracy. 📼

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — heavy fighting is underway on the outskirts of Robotyne. There are also battles for control of the road between Robotyne and Verbove.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. Heavy combat operations are taking place in almost all directions. The enemy has the initiative in the Svatove direction, and in the Bakhmut direction, they are trying to restore parity.

🦅 A few days ago, General Colonel Syrsky visited the 80th Brigade and honored some of the brigade's best fighters, who are daily holding back the aggressor on the front line. Lviv paratroopers have shown and continue to demonstrate strength and resilience. 💪🏻

🇧🇾 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus is "frankly disappointed" with the EU's decision to impose new sanctions

💭"The Belarusian side is frankly disappointed with the decision of the European Union on August 3, 2023, to impose new sanctions against the Republic of Belarus. We consider this step as a continuation of the EU's unfriendly policy towards our country, another attempt at blatant interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state. Obviously, such actions by Brussels are destroying the paths to return to an acceptable level of Belarusian-European relations...", reads the statement from the ministry.

🤷‍♂️Specifically, a belarusian diplomat at the UN stated that "the illegal unilateral actions of Lithuania and other Western countries regarding the blocking of supplies of Belarusian fertilizers have already jeopardized the food security of not just individual countries, but entire regions and continents."

ℹ️We remind you that in connection with the "constant, systematic, massive, and gross violations of human rights and brutal repressions against all strata of belarusian society, carried out by lukashenko's illegitimate regime," the European Union announced new sanctions against belarus in the form of restrictions on 38 individuals and 3 legal entities.
