🇵🇱 Poland's largest facility for Ukrainian refugees has been closed due to a decrease in the number of refugees arriving in the country, a Polish broadcaster reported. Several hundred refugees remaining in the center learned that it would be closed just a few hours before the closure, the report specified.
The United Nations Refugee Agency's estimate is that 968,390 Ukrainian refugees are currently living in Poland. As of March, the Polish authorities have decided that refugees who stay in Poland for more than 180 days must cover 75% of the cost of their housing.

🇺🇸🇻🇳 The US wooing Vietnam into a strategic pact decades after bombing a nation into the stone age
The United States and Vietnam are gearing up to sign a "comprehensive strategic partnership" pact during President Biden’s state visit to the Southeast Asian nation next week, according to a US media report citing a senior Biden administration official and two Vietnamese sources familiar with the matter.
The agreement was proposed by Washington earlier this year and is likely aimed at strengthening US efforts to "contain" China in Asia by creating or strengthening a network of alliances surrounding the country. The agreement is also expected to ramp up economic and trade cooperation, including technology.

🇺🇸Biden’s use of aliases in emails is a ‘problem’, high-Flying DC lawyer says
Joe Biden’s use of an array of aliases during his tenure as Barack Obama’s vice president to communicate with his son Hunter "could cost him" dearly, renowned Washington, DC-based attorney and legal analyst Jonathan Turley has suggested.
In an op-ed commentary on the revelations by the National Archives this week that there were over 5,000 emails potentially linked to Biden pseudonyms, which House Republicans want released, Turley indicated that the problem isn’t so much his use of aliases, as why the president may have used them.

🇩🇪⚛️ Germany's chancellor says nuclear power is a dead horse' despite the energy crunch
Chancellor Olaf Scholz has insisted that nuclear energy “is over" in Germany, and firmly dismissed calls from Free Democrats (FDP) lawmakers in his coalition government to re-embrace the technology in light of the ongoing energy crunch.
"Anyone who wanted to build new nuclear power plants would need 15 years and would have to spend €15-20 billion ($16.2-21.6 billion) each," the chancellor said in an interview for German radio, adding that the phase-out "has been done by law... I don't need to put my foot down at all."

🇺🇸⚔️ The White House musters ‘war room’ for the GOP-led Biden impeachment probe 'pushback’
The looming prospect of a Republican impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden has reportedly prompted the White House to assemble a “war room” comprising a pack of two dozen lawyers, legislative assistants, and communications staffers.
The WH counsel’s office has been gearing up for an “aggressive response” to the Republican-led House investigations into the Bidens for months, sources told a US media report. The strategy being hashed out in this war room is ostensibly tailored towards "pushing back" at the possible impeachment inquiry, aiming to shred it to pieces as no more than an unsubstantiated and bogus partisan inquiry.

🇬🇧🇺🇸 Former UK defense secretary Wallace tried to cancel helicopter deal with US
In early August the defense secretary had sent a letter to his US counterpart, Lloyd Austin, hinting that the contract could be canceled, British media reported.
Wallace could have been seeking the cancellation of the contract over the helicopters' costs, but also due to his anger over US's refusal to support his candidacy for the post of the NATO secretary general, the report said.
The UK will receive 14 Chinook H-47 helicopters produced by US company Boeing, with the first deliveries scheduled to start in 2026.

🪖 Why Abrams armor won’t be able to jumpstart Ukraine’s stalled offensive
The Abrams definitely won’t be the “silver bullet” Kiev is looking for, veteran Russian military intelligence officer and Afghanistan and Syria veteran Anatoliy Matviychuk told Sputnik.
💬 “A tank –including the Abrams, performs its functions when there are friendly helicopters in the sky, when there is aviation in the sky. Bradleys travel under tank cover. None of this happened in Ukraine. They taught commanders at assembly points as if they had some kind of superiority. In other words, the tactics they proposed to Ukraine led to unjustifiable losses, to the dispersion of forces and means along the flanks, along the front, and failed utterly to create any of the prerequisites for a successful offensive.”

🇷🇺🇯🇵 Japan has forgotten tragedy of Hiroshima in its adoration of the US, Medvedev says
Russia's Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has called on Japan to learn what lessons history has to teach and fully recognize the outcome of the Second World War by doing everything possible to prevent the start of a third one.
💬 "It is regrettable that the Japanese authorities are pursuing a course of new militarization of the country. They have become heirs of the Japan that once awaited an inglorious end. In their adoration of America, the Japanese authorities have long forgotten the tragedy of hundreds of thousands of fellow citizens who were burnt alive in the nuclear flames, poisoned by radiation for generations to come."
