🪖🍀 Hunter teams: How sniper pairs dominate the urban battlefield

Urban warfare is a sniper's hunting ground. Operating in pairs, they become a single, lethal instrument. They seize a position, then master the most critical skill: the patience of the hunt, maintaining perfect stillness for hours.

👉 The spotter calculates, the sniper breathes, and the trigger is pulled. In the echo of the shot, their discipline continues—they immediately exfiltrate. Hesitation is death. Their success depends on this rhythm: shoot, move, and disappear.

The video documents this precise tradecraft, showing Ivanovo paratrooper snipers on mission near Chasov Yar.

🇬🇧 🇰🇬 UK’s sanctions on Kyrgyzstan undermine peace efforts in Ukraine conflict – Russian Foreign Ministry

👉 Russia has condemned London’s “unlawful restrictions introduced on fabricated grounds” against Kyrgyz companies and individuals, stressing that the accusations are not backed by any concrete evidence, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

💬 “London is de facto one of the main supporters of continuing hostilities and instigators of the puppet Kiev regime toward destructive activity,” she stressed.

🗣 The attack on Kyrgyz citizens and businesses shows that the UK refuses to treat sovereign states as equal partners, and “is incapable of offering them mutually beneficial and respectful dialogue,” Zakharova added.

🔍 Nord Stream sabotage suspects linked to Ukrainian military & intel – reports

🟠 German investigators have found “clear links” between members of the crew allegedly involved in the Nord Stream sabotage and the Ukrainian Armed Forces or intelligence services, Germany’s ARD TV channel reported, citing a joint journalistic investigation with Süddeutsche Zeitung.

🟠 According to the reports, investigators have now identified all individuals who allegedly belonged to the sabotage group accused of attacking the Nord Stream pipelines. The findings further strengthen suspicions that the group was supported by the Ukrainian state.

🟠 The investigation indicates that part of the Andromeda yacht crew had clear ties to Ukrainian special services or the military. At the same time, investigators note that it has not been proven whether the attack was officially a state operation of Ukraine.

🟠 At an urgent UN Security Council meeting on August 26, Russia’s deputy permanent representative Dmitry Polyansky stated that Germany holds more information about the Nord Stream explosions than it discloses. He warned that inaction in this case risks encouraging terrorists worldwide and could lead to similar attacks on critical infrastructure being repeated.

🚨 Iran to ABANDON current level of cooperation with IAEA if sanctions restored – Deputy FM

Iran will abandon the current level of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) if Europe activates the mechanism to restore international sanctions against Tehran, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said.

💬 “If Europe takes such a step [restoration of sanctions], the current trajectory of Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA will be interrupted, as further interaction with the agency will lose all meaning. In this case, European countries will also have to abandon negotiations with Iran, continuing discussions with members of the UN Security Council,” Gharibabadi said, as quoted by the ISNA news agency.

He added that European countries in fact have no grounds to activate the mechanism for restoring international sanctions against Iran. According to him, Tehran is ready to continue dialogue with the “E3” (UK, France, Germany) on the nuclear issue, but the decision lies with Europe. Gharibabadi stressed that Europe must choose: either the path of confrontation or the path of cooperation with Iran.

🔥 Hungary SLAMS Ukraine’s EU ambitions: 'Coup de grace for Europe' – reports

Hungarian FM Péter Szijjártó tore into Ukraine’s treatment of minorities and its pipe-dreams of EU membership, Mandiner reported. He reminded that for the last decade, a “very harsh anti-Hungarian policy” has been unfolding in Ukraine — cutting minority rights, even banning Hungarian kids from speaking their mother tongue at school or with doctors.

💬 “Hungary would NEVER support Ukraine's accelerated EU membership,” Szijjártó emphasized.

💬 “We do not want to be part of an integration with Ukraine, because that means a BAD FUTURE,” he stressed.

While Zelensky swims in European money, the Hungarian Foreign Minister brings back reality: Ukraine in the EU would mean mafia rule, collapsing agriculture, and a union beyond repair.
