✴Footage of successful assault operations by soldiers of the 30th Mechanized Brigade near Zaliznyanske

🗓 Roughly, between August 17-20, there were intense battles for the forest near Zaliznyanske. As a result of a planned operation, the enemy was driven out of the forest, inflicting heavy losses in manpower. However, the enemy brought in tanks and infantry reserves. At least one ruzzian tank was destroyed, but our forces were eventually repelled by the same infantry reserves on the third day of combat.

🔧 And this is not to mention their EFPs (Engineered Fighting Positions). The enemy not only entrenched the forest but also dug tunnels under the road to Sloviansk.

👥 Both sides suffered significant losses. It became evident that the enemy has a much larger manpower reserve, which they are willing to sacrifice easily. In a meat grinder, to be the first to be wiped out, so every infantryman must be worth their weight in gold, and every operation (even defensive ones) must be meticulously planned.

Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on August 29, 2023

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

▶️ On the Svatove direction — north of Novoiehorivka, the katsaps, using shoiguist units, launched a massive attack on elevation 190.8. The Defense Forces managed to reclaim some positions, but the enemy closely approached the height with the support of tanks that move freely across the crossings.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — fighting continues in the Klishchiivka and Andriivka areas, the outcome is unknown.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — the situation with the ventilation shaft of the Trudivska mine remains unclear. Counter-battles of the 59th Motorized Brigade continue near Nevelske.

▶️ On the Berdiansk direction — clarified the Priyutne area. The area nicknamed "pid*rlis" by the soldiers is now under our control, but our forces could not establish positions near the gardens close to the village. The enemy is trying to retake positions using fresh shoiguist reinforcements.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — battles continue west of Verbove. Our infantry was spotted east of Novoprokopivka, suggesting possible success of our forces further south.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes. The Ukrainian flag was raised at Dachi, marking the first blue area there.

🗂 Analytical note. Over the past day, a series of changes along the contact line were observed. On the Svatove direction, the enemy is trying to achieve some success near Synkivka, Novoiehorivka, and in Serebryansk forestry, but "no progress there". Important areas near Priyutne and Verbove are updated. We note the increasing influence of convicts-shoiguist forces on the frontline's activity. According to intercepts, they are planned to be utilized in combat due to the support of prigozhyn.

🇬🇦A military coup has occurred in Gabon - the military has seized power and placed the president under house arrest

👨🏿64-year-old Ali Bongo was detained shortly after the election results were announced, according to which he was re-elected, despite opposition claims of rigging. The Bongo family has been in power for 56 years. In addition to the president, his son and the head of the democratic party were also detained.

🗣"I am Ali Bongo Ondimba, the president of Gabon, and I want to send a message to all our friends worldwide to make noise, to raise their voices because people here have arrested me and my family. My son is somewhere out there, my wife is in another place, and I'm at the residence," Bongo said in a video that appeared from an anonymous source.

🤷‍♂️The government's attempt to hide the real results by shutting down the internet was unsuccessful. The military claimed the elections did not meet the standards of a transparent, credible, and inclusive vote that the people of Gabon hope for.

👤"We decided to protect peace by ending the current regime," an army officer declared on live TV.

🇫🇷French Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne stated that the country is "closely monitoring the situation."

🇨🇳"We call on all parties in Gabon to act in the fundamental interests of the country and its people, to resolve differences through dialogue, and to restore normal order as soon as possible," said the spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, Wang Wenbin.

⚔️Gabon became the 5th country to undergo a military coup during the period of 2021-2023.

🇯🇵🇺🇸🇰🇷Japan, the USA, and South Korea conducted joint missile defense exercises

🌊The maneuvers involved destroyers equipped with the Aegis Combat System and took place in open waters near the South Korean island of Jeju. The purpose of these drills was to demonstrate the countries' capability to respond to North Korea's nuclear and missile weapons development. The countries practiced detecting, tracking, and exchanging real-time information about missile launches.

🇰🇵North Korea did not overlook these sea activities and accused Washington and its allies of provocative actions:

💭"Due to the reckless confrontational actions of the USA and other hostile forces, the waters near the Korean Peninsula have become the world's largest concentration of military equipment, the most unstable waters with the risk of nuclear war," stated Kim Jong Un.

🤷‍♂️The North Korean dictator called for a "radical" modernization of the weaponry and equipment of his naval forces, lamenting the increased presence of American strategic forces in the region.

🛳 In addition to missile defense exercises, the USA and South Korea commenced the second phase of maneuvers named "Ulchi Freedom Shield". The first phase focused on coordination among units in full-scale war scenarios and civilian training. Currently, plans are in place to involve the fleet, air force, and marine corps. Allied special operations units practiced infiltrating enemy coastlines from the sea. It's possible that during these drills, the USA will deploy strategic assets like the B-1B strategic bombers.

Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on August 31, 2023

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

▶️ On the Svatove direction — the enemy continues to spread false information about controlling Synkivka. Lately, they've lacked the necessary forces. Intense fighting near Novoiehorivka, with the enemy deploying about a battalion of tanks. Some have been destroyed, but they're improving logistics and bridging efforts.

📊 Updated frontline in Serebryanske forestry. In late July, the katsaps launched a massive attack and overran one of the newly formed brigades. Only now could we define a stable combat contact line. Further enemy advancement was immediately halted.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — ongoing combat near Klishchiivka, Andriivka, and Orikhovo-Vasylivka.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — the enemy had unsuccessful offensive operations near Avdiivka and in Marinka.

▶️ On the Berdiansk direction — updated the area around Shevchenko village.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — battles continue west of Verbove.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. The summer campaign has ended, and the autumn one, which still offers opportunities for offensive actions, begins. The fall of '22 was significant: landing in Serebryanske forestry, the Fredericus 2.0 offensive at Izium, advances at Lyman, deoccupation of Kherson, and even some successful actions in Enerhodar. The enemy continues mining and improving their engineering and fortification structure system. Hence, in the spring of '24, the conditions for land offensives will worsen. We trust in the Armed Forces of Ukraine!

🇬🇪Georgia's ruling party starts impeachment proceedings against President Salome Zurabishvili

🗣The reason for this was the president's visits to Europe, which were not coordinated with the party leadership, said Irakli Kobakhidze, leader of the Georgian Dream party.

🇪🇺Earlier, the presidential administration reported that Salome would visit European countries to receive support for joining the European Union:

💭«It is from this visit that the President of Georgia begins meetings with European leaders in support of granting Georgia the status of an EU candidate country,» the presidential administration said, commenting on the meeting with German President Steinmeier.

🇺🇦In particular, he planned to visit Ukraine on Independence Day, but the parliament refused to allow her to go.

👨‍💻According to the impeachment law, the parliament can start the impeachment process if the president violates the Constitution of Georgia and if the Constitutional Court confirms this violation in its opinion. For the procedure to be successful, 100 votes out of 150 in the parliament are required - the ruling party has 81.

🐘 Republican debates without a de facto candidate

📆 The first Republican debate was held on August 23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was attended by 8 candidates out of 9 qualified to participate. The ninth would have been Donald Trump, who refused to appear at the debate. Instead, he gave an interview to pro-Russian journalist Tucker Carlson.

🎙 During the two-hour debate, the most talked about issues were abortion, Donald Trump, the Mexican border, education, and Ukraine.

💩 The new candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who is currently third in the polls after former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has been the most anti-Ukrainian in his rhetoric.

💭"I think it's time to end the disastrous policy of sending billions of dollars to help Ukraine fight the Russian invasion. It distracts from the real problems our country is facing," - said Vivek Ramaswamy.

📊 Trump's absence at the first debate did not have a significant impact on his position in the polls, but it should be noted that the former president's support has dropped slightly compared to the numbers before the debate. We can talk about a loss of 3-4% of support. Even after that, Donald Trump has the support of more than half of the Republican Party. Ron DeSantis, as mentioned above, is in second place with 15% support.

🧑‍⚖️ It is safe to say that the growing number of court cases against Donald Trump only increases the level of his intra-party support. The effect on the numbers in national polls is either insignificant or non-existent.

➡️ The next debate will take place on September 27 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. It is currently unknown whether Donald Trump will attend.

👤 Footage has emerged of Ukrainian fighters walking past a destroyed katsap T-72B3 south of point 121.4
