🇧🇾The potato führer stated that closing borders with Latvia and Lithuania "only harms themselves"

🗣"I don't quite understand Lithuania and Latvia. They are probably rushing ahead...want to show off. But this will turn against them. If they want to close off, let them close off. We don't go to Lithuania and Latvia anyway, we don't do business through them. Who will be worse off from this? They will only make it worse for themselves and their people," said the self-proclaimed president of belarus.

🤡However, lukashenko forgot that in 2020, Lithuania ranked 6th in terms of trade volume and 4th in terms of exports among countries with which belarus conducts foreign trade operations. Latvia ranked 14th and 10th respectively. In 2021, the president's office named Lithuania as the main trading partner.

🤦‍♂️The "politician" claimed that belarus is a peaceful country and has no territorial claims to its neighbors.

💭"We want to live on our own land. We don't need Polish, Lithuanian, or Latvian land. But they have a political psychosis today, especially in Poland, because of the upcoming elections, that's why they will escalate this situation. If they want to close off, let them close off, they will only make it worse for themselves. People are already impoverished: they were taking firewood from us in winter because they had nothing to burn. And for God's sake. We will help them, if needed, we will help them for free, so that people can endure this... They are not foolish, they are strong, tough people. Just like us. They will soon get rid of these leaders," said the potato führer.

🇳🇱The Netherlands will transfer all its F-16s to Ukraine, except for a few that will remain for the training of Ukrainian pilots

🗣This was announced by the Dutch Minister of Defense, Kajsa Ollongren, in an interview with European Pravda.

💬"It's simple. We no longer need the F-16s as we are transitioning to the newer F-35s. However, due to the war in Ukraine, we decided at one point not to sell these F-16 fighters, but to keep them available. Now, we are transferring almost all of them to Ukraine, except for a few aircraft that will be used for the training of Ukrainian pilots. In total, we have 42 aircraft. A small portion of them will be used for training, and the rest will go to the Armed Forces of Ukraine," explained the head of the department."

Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on August 25, 2023

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

▶️ On the Svatove direction — clashes occurred near Synkivka, Novoyehorivka, Bilohorivka(L), and in the Serebryansk forestry. Near Pershotravneve, about two weeks ago, the enemy managed to level the combat contact line.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — heavy battles continue for Klіshchііvka and near Andriivka.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — skirmishes resumed near Nevelske; the outcome is unknown.

▶️ On the Berdiansk direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — battles continue outside Robotyne and near Verbove and Novoprokopіvka.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. The enemy is trying to regroup in order to optimize forces for further defense (south and Bakhmut) or attack (Svatove direction). In the near future, the situation will continue to change at the tactical level, as the resilience reserves of both sides are still substantial, and neither the enemy nor we have a significant advantage in strength.

📹 In recent days, the enemy has published numerous strikes on our positions in the area of Verbove and Novoprokopivka

📍 Among the locations, we note the advance to height 140.4, which is above Verbove. Also, the katsaps struck in the area of height 121.4 and Kryva ravine. These shots and geolocations indicate an expansion of the left flank of the Robotyne balcony. The soldiers themselves write that to continue advancing, it is necessary to secure the flanks, otherwise, there is a risk of forming a "fire pocket".

👮 The assault regiment of the National Police "Safari" of the "Fury" brigade is conducting a clearance operation in the settlement of Klishchiivka, eliminating occupiers in their path

🚀 Heavy fighting continues in the village. Step by step, the Defense Forces are advancing, liberating Ukrainian land from the ruzzians. The battle is literally for every house; the enemy constantly brings up reserves, trying to hold onto the captured territory. But our Armed Forces are making every effort to prevent this.

🔥Fighters of the Immaterium unit, using artillery, delivered a fire strike against the katsaps in the northwestern outskirts of Verbove

😈In particular, according to the fighters themselves, the ruzzian unit "Rusich" got a taste of cluster munitions and suddenly found a reason to slink away from the settlement, citing a conflict with muscovy authorities over the arrest of their fighter-terrorist

Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on August 27, 2023

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

▶️ On the Svatove direction — near Synkivka, the enemy continues to be unsuccessful. Heavy fighting is ongoing near Novoyehorivka - the bastards are trying to restore positions. Holding the contact line along the river within current boundaries is highly disadvantageous for the enemy, as all crossings are vulnerable, as are rear positions. Some enemy units in the Kreminna forests began moving to another front section.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — heavy fighting continues for Klishchiivka and near Andriivka. The Armed Forces had partial success near the latter, but every forest belt is extremely hard-fought. The enemy has mined everything and is not shy to bring in reserves.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — skirmishes resumed near Nevelske, katsaps are trying to recover lost positions.

▶️ On the Berdiansk direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — fighting continues east of Robotyne.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. No significant changes were recorded over the weekend. Katsaps are rotating units and deploying reserves. At the same time, hostilities are constant, forcing our forces to do the same.

🇪🇺🇺🇦The EU is considering the possibility of placing instructors in Ukraine after the war

🗣This was reported by the head of the EU military committee, General Robert Briger, in an interview with Die Welt.

💭"I can very well imagine that the training of Ukrainian soldiers by the EU will continue after the planned two-year period, and then be expanded over time. [...] Because after the end of the conflict, Ukraine will need assistance with demining and increasing capacity, i.e., armed forces and weapons," said Briger.

🫡In particular, the general added that as part of the EU's military aid mission to Ukraine this year, 30,000 Ukrainian military personnel will be trained, which is twice as many as initially expected.

✈️ The enemy's FPV-drone enters the positions of our fighters near the railway north of Krasnohorivka (A)

🗓 It's unclear when the positions were successfully repelled by the Defense Forces, but getting hit is always unpleasant, so there's not much to be happy about. According to the footage, the red zone is shrinking, and that area is transitioning to gray.

🌎The Interior Ministers of Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland have called on Belarus to remove the "wagner" PMC from the country

🗒This was mentioned in a joint statement by the diplomats after a meeting in Warsaw on August 28.

✍️"We call on the belarusian regime to remove the 'Wagner' group from belarusian territory, to expel all illegal migrants from border areas, and to return them to their countries of origin," the ministers declared.

✏️Specifically, the statement commented on provocations at the border and attempts to destabilize the region:

💭"We emphasize that we see the actions of russia and its cooperating belarus as deliberate attempts to destabilize the situation in the region. We strongly declare that we will jointly resist this. Our response will be collective, firm, and appropriate to the current situation - up to the possibility of further isolating both regimes by closing border crossings. We are determined to defend the borders of the democratic world while keeping access to our territories for belarusian opposition members."
