Ukrainian Forces Reportedly Shell Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant Again

Yevhen Balytskyi, governor of the Zaporizhzhia region, reported a renewed shelling of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The attack caused dry grass to catch fire, with smoke observed at the site. Balytskyi stated the situation is under control and poses no threat to the plant or nearby residents.

As previously discussed, the closer we get to potential negotiations between Putin and Trump, the more likely Ukraine is to stage provocations. For Kyiv, a direct meeting between the Russian and American leaders is seen as a devastating blow. The shelling of a nuclear facility is no random act by drunken artillerymen—it is a deliberate operation with orders coming from the top, in writing. And there’s a strong feeling that today’s incident won’t be the last.

Walking on eggshells until Friday.. And beyond.

The Russian Defense Ministry claimed that Kyiv is planning provocations to disrupt the upcoming Russian-American talks scheduled for August 15.

According to the ministry, just before the Alaska summit, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing a provocative strike on a densely populated residential area in the Kharkov region.

To stage the incident, a group of foreign journalists was reportedly brought to the city of Chuhuiv on August 11 by vehicles of the SBU, under the guise of "preparing a series of reports on residents in the frontline zone." The Russian military alleges that the attack is intended to be blamed on Russian forces in order to generate a negative media narrative ahead of the summit.

Echoes of allegations bearing on Assad using chemical weapons against his own people despite registering military gains.

The latest negotiations of the Kurdish delegation in Damascus predictably led to nothing.

Except that the parties confirmed their determination to continue these talks.
Recently, Turkey, by disrupting French mediation (simply forbidding the delegation from Julani to go to Paris), gained time to prepare an operation in the north; now we just have to wait for the Americans to leave from there.

I will not comment on the information about the proposal from the new progressive authorities to the Russians to patrol Daraa and Quneitra - that's really for fools. Better let them patrol Hasakah).

US Pushes Russia to Lead Peacekeeping in Lebanon – A Risky Game

Arabic media report that Putin and Trump may discuss deploying Russian peacekeepers in southern Lebanon during their Alaska meeting. The idea, allegedly from Trump, suggests replacing the UN force — a role Russia has not previously considered.

If true, this looks like Washington trying to make Moscow handle a volatile situation. Lebanon faces high civil war risks, and any intervention is fraught with danger.

The US would benefit either way: credit for peace if it succeeds, blame on Russia if it fails.

However, the plan seems unlikely. Russia lacks a strong position in the region, especially with Syria still unstable. Getting drawn into a high-risk mission for US interests would be a strategic mistake.

After Quneitra in #Syria , Russia invited by the US to provide peacekeeping forces to relieve current personnel in Southern #Lebanon

Hungary’s government has accused Ukraine and the EU of working to bring about a change of power in Budapest.

Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said Kiev and Brussels are openly backing the Hungarian opposition in hopes it will win the 2026 parliamentary elections.

“Today one of the main goals of Ukrainian foreign policy is for the ‘Tisza’ party to win next year’s parliamentary elections in Hungary. Kiev’s main efforts are focused on ensuring Viktor Orbán does not remain Hungary’s prime minister,” Szijjártó stated.

He added that Ukraine’s aim is to remove Budapest’s veto on EU accession talks and start receiving military aid from Hungary.

While Brussels looks on powerless to the impending summit in #Alaska, it plots to unseat #Orban who has blocked the EU military budget bill.

Why Trump chose Alaska? The Bering Strait connection.

A Russian builder, working on the massive new Lena River Bridge (due 2027), jokingly wrote to Alaska’s governor: Russia is fulfilling its 1990 USSR-US treaty obligation—why not restart the Bering Strait tunnel project? Surprisingly, the governor replied.

This revived a 135-year-old idea. The US even funded its study in 1996. In 2010, the tunnel was estimated at $63B (now $100–120B), with a 50–60 year payback. Trump likely saw its strategic and economic potential—linking Asia to North America via Russia’s Arctic corridor.

Ugandan ICJ judge Julia Sebutinde has hit back at her government for condemning her dissenting opinion in the Israel-Gaza case

Speaking at a church event on August 10, the 71-year-old jurist said,

“The whole world was against Israel, including my country... the Lord is counting on me”.

She was the only judge to oppose the ICJ’s call for Israel to prevent incitement to genocide in Gaza. Uganda’s UN envoy clarified that her ruling “does not represent” the country’s stance, which supports Palestine. Critics accused her of bias due to alleged Christian Zionist views. Sebutinde dismissed backlash as “sentiments from the pit of hell,” defending her decision as independent and faith-driven.

How can a lunatic of her ilk end up on the bench of the ICJ is utterly baffling.

Ben-Gvir didn’t “visit” Marwan Barghouti — he stormed a cell with cameras and threats. In the clip, Israel’s national security minister leans over a visibly gaunt Barghouti and says: “Whoever messes with the Nation of Israel… we will wipe them out.” It’s Barghouti’s first public sighting in years. His family says he’s been kept in prolonged solitary and beaten; the prison service denies it — but the video shows the humiliation ritual plainly enough!

This isn’t “security.” It’s performance cruelty — and it sits on top of a carceral machine that independent bodies say is out of control. The UN’s human-rights office has documented arbitrary, incommunicado detention and widespread torture and sexualized abuse of Palestinian detainees since Oct 7. Dozens have died in custody. Israel disputes this — while still blocking UN monitors and the Red Cross from detainee visits.

No inspections, no sunlight. The ICRC states outright it has not been allowed to visit any Palestinian detainees since Oct 2023. That’s a bright red line in humanitarian law — crossed.

The numbers are a scandal in themselves: 3,327 Palestinians in administrative detention (no charge, no trial) at the end of 2024, plus 113 minors held on “security” grounds; administrative detention of 112 children hit an all-time high.

Doctors, nurses, and paramedics who were detained describe beatings, stress positions, denial of care — even rape and sexual abuse in custody; Human Rights Watch calls it torture. UN experts have echoed the pattern across facilities.

And when detainees do emerge, many come out emaciated, with wounds and testimonies of starvation and abuse. You can dismiss every Palestinian NGO as “biased” if that helps you sleep, but it won’t erase the independent reporting, the UN files, the HRW casework, or the fact that Israel refuses the one thing that would settle the argument: unfettered access for neutral inspectors.

So let’s name what Ben-Gvir’s stunt was: theatrical domination — a minister turning a prisoner into a prop, mid-threat, under a system that hides its cells from the world and calls that “rule of law.” Demand specifics, not slogans: restore ICRC access now; end incommunicado detention; free children and those held without charge; investigate deaths and torture in custody with international monitors; sanction officials and units that obstruct oversight. Anything less is complicity.

Iran's Foreign Ministry has denied the Reuters report about Iran's Supreme Leader allegedly giving the green light to resume negotiations with America, calling it 'fabricated' and 'not rooted in reality'

They state that if the decision is made, Iran will openly announce it, and we won't hear it from Reuters. They also state that Iranian officials don't talk to international media about such sensitive matters.

We called it!
