CNN has broadcast a story about hundreds of Ukrainians moving to Russian-controlled territory. They take their family, pets, personal belongings and leave. It will be interesting to see how CNN will adapt this to their narrative, you can't have people abandoning the ship and call it a victory, afterall.

No comment.

The city of Helsinki on Monday morning removed the "World Peace" monument that Finland got as a present from the Soviet Union and the location of which will be paved over for a pedestrian path.

The monument was removed a little before 7 a.m. on Monday, Finnish public broadcaster Yle reported.

Fake news.
You did not provide links or photographic evidence.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Point and laugh at him, guys, we no accept dumb-dumb

PS : guy was just joking, he gucchi

On August 4th, Amnesty International, a worldwide human rights organization, released an article exposing the AFU for using tactics like utilizing civilians as human shields.

The next day "The Times" newspaper accused them for acting like a mouthpiece for Russian propaganda, funny, isn't it?

By the way, Amnesty International are not going to zip their lips, so, there will be much more pain for Zelensky.

August 8 - The Pentagon on Monday said it is sending Ukraine an additional $1 billion in military assistance, including tens of thousands more munitions and explosives.

The new security assistance package includes ammunition for the high-mobility artillery rocket systems known as HIMARS and 75,000 howitzer rounds, as well as mortar systems, surface-to-air missiles, Javelin anti-armor missiles, Claymore mines and demolition explosives. It pushes the total U.S. military support for Ukraine past $9 billion since the war began, officials said.

“These are all critical capabilities to help the Ukrainians repel the Russian offensive in the east and also to address evolving developments in the south and elsewhere,” said Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl. He characterized the package as comprising the types of weaponry “the Ukrainian people are using so effectively to defend their country.”

Yeah, we see. To defend...

Zelensky urges West to ban entry for all Russians

August 9 - Western countries should close their borders to all Russians, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky told The Washington Post newspaper.

According to him, "the most important sanctions are to close the borders — because the Russians are taking away someone else’s land." He said that Russians should "live in their own world until they change their philosophy." In his opinion, this should also involve those Russians who left the country protesting the government’s actions. "Whichever kind of Russian <… > make them go to Russia," he said.

In his opinion, the entire Russian population should be held responsible. "The population picked this government and they’re not fighting it, not arguing with it, not shouting at it," he noted. Zelensky also criticized the current sanctions as weak and ineffective.

Largest harbours for Ukrainian refugees

More than 6 million Ukrainian refugees were registered across Europe as of 3 August, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

The following countries are clear leaders in terms of the number of migrants harboured:
- Russia (1.97 million);
- Poland (1.26 million);
- Germany (915,000);

So, one out of three refugees chose to leave for the "aggressor country". Puzzling, isn't it?

Bloomberg: UK Plans for Blackouts in January in Emergency Energy Plan

August 9 - The UK is making crisis plans for the winter which include the possibility of organised blackouts. Cold weather could combine with gas shortages to result in blackouts for businesses and households.

Under the UK government’s “reasonable worst-case scenario”, officials reportedly believe there could be blackouts on "several" days in January. It comes as forecasts show annual energy bills are set to top £4,200 from January, sparking fears of severe hardship without government intervention.

The reasonable worst-case scenario — which government sources insist are highly unlikely to materialise — would see the power shortfall total about a sixth of peak demand even if emergency plans to fire up retiring coal power plants came into force, according to Bloomberg. In that scenario, a reduction of electricity imports from Norway and France would see the UK government bring in emergency measures to conserve gas for four days in January.

Kiev's propaganda has hit another bottom. The other day it presented Alexei Talai, a citizen of Belarus, as a Russian soldier who had returned from the Special Military Operation. The situation was described in such a way that Alexei allegedly returned from the combat zone having lost his arms and legs... and is happy about it.

In reality, however, Alexei Talai is a member of the Republic of Belarus' national Paralympic team. Moreover, he runs a charity fund and is a father of four!

Steven Seagal is making a documentary about the war in Donbass.

He spoke to prisoners of war in the Yelenovka pre-trial detention centre. Some militants were recently killed there as a result of a targeted rocket attack by Ukrainian armed formations.

Denis Pushilin, the head of DPR:

When I met Steven, he pointed out that 98% of those who make media reports about the conflict have never been here. Therefore, the world does not know the truth. He wants to change the way the world sees this war.

The task is not an easy one. I wish Steven success and I appreciate him coming to the Republic at this time, when it's far from being a safe destination.

Russian video blogger Alexei Smirnov tells about petal mines scattered by AFU all over peaceful cities of the DPR.

Pro-Ukraine trolls think it's funny to call a Russian family and tell them that their "stuffing" is gone.

You know, I'm used to that, the Israelis usually mock the dead Arabs, even going way back in 1967, a relatives corpse was returned with a note in standard Arabic that he "abandoned his post and died running", even though the bullets clearly came from the front of the body, just usual pysop.

Back on the topic, don't let these trolls get under your skin, being martyred for such a cause is quite honorable, the degenerates are just coping.

🎯As always, to the point.
Hear from Scott Ritter - former US Marine Corps Intelligence Officer and UN Weapons Inspector on Ukrainian attacks on Europe’s largest nuclear powerplant.

An EU Satellite captures a quite terrifying picture of Western Europe... this is literally a famine scenario, if this happened 100 or 200 years ago, you will be seeing a precursor to the death of millions.

Russian video blogger Alexei Smirnov: Hooray! We have opened our bakery! We'll now be delivering free bread to Mariupol residents in need. Up to 20,000 loaves a month! And believe me, we make really delicious bread.
