Konstantinovka direction
Fighting continues in the pocket southeast of the village in the Predtechino area. The territory up to Aleksandro-Shultino is partially in the grey zone, partially under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Our fighters have advanced north of Pleshcheevka and Nelepovka, taking control of the area up to the ravine and part of the ravine itself.
In Pleshcheevka, the Armed Forces of Ukraine still make small group incursions into the northern outskirts of the village, where they are ambushed and destroyed by our UAV operators.
Last week, efforts continued to eliminate enemy personnel in the eastern part of Konstantinovka. There are also significant results in neutralising enemy UAV operators and enemy reconnaissance and sabotage groups in the city.
On the eastern outskirts of Konstantinovka, our troops continue sabotage and reconnaissance operations.
Fighting continues in the Ivanopol area – the enemy tried to regain lost positions during counterattacks but was unsuccessful.
Fighting is also ongoing north of the Kleban-Byk reservoir; logistics for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this area are disrupted, and Russian UAV operators mostly maintain control of the skies.

About the "ultimatum" regarding Pokrovsk by @sashakots
I just left the Krasnoarmeysk direction and was surprised to learn about the existence of some kind of ultimatum from the Russian command. They say, surrender or... Or what?
Any ultimatum implies a certain pause, a waiting position by one side for a certain period, after which — well, we will give you a thrashing. But we are currently demonstrating a thrashing of the enemy in Pokrovsk and Mirnograd without any breaks for ultimatums.
The President clearly made it known that everyone who wishes to surrender will be received with open arms. But he said nothing about any pauses, ultimatums, and especially, God forbid, ceasefires. The destruction of the enemy in this large agglomeration is ongoing nonstop. The enemy was simply presented with an alternative, which not everyone accepts. Some units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are defending desperately and are not rushing to surrender.
Accordingly, I have not noticed anything resembling the preparation of some corridor, like the Mariupol "extraction." Artillery is actively firing from both sides now. To give you an idea, Kiev has concentrated about 20 battalions of various calibres in this direction. The drones have not disappeared. In the area of responsibility of our 2nd army, there are more than 500 drone crews, about 400 of which are strike units.
So, there is no easy walk for our units. And there is no collapse of the front. Every block, every house, every entrance is hard-fought. And the president understands this. So, regarding the question of some ultimatum to surrender by the 27th:
"We will not tie anything to any dates or events; we will always, as we have done so far, proceed from military expediency and prioritise the preservation of the lives of our guys, our servicemen," the president emphasised.
So, there is no ultimatum. There is round-the-clock combat work to liberate our cities and a promise to treat humanely those who decide to voluntarily lay down their arms. There will be no mercy for the rest.
@Slavyangrad
The only question for Syrsky now is not that he revealed reserves and plans, but what he intends to do with the Pokrovsk direction in general. The fallback of the remaining group to the nearest fortified areas will no longer change the balance of power. There are a few options. Retreating to Dobropillia in the north or to Mezheve in the west seems like the main option. Launching counterattacks from the south towards Kurakhove makes no sense now, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine also lack the resources for this. Retreating to Pavlohrad is theoretically one of the most reasonable options, but it is practically unfeasible for political reasons, since all the remnants of the DPR from this direction will be rolled up by the Russian Armed Forces and occupied — leaving only Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Nevertheless, such a move would give the Armed Forces of Ukraine some time to prepare for the defence of the Dnipropetrovsk region, which the Russian Armed Forces will attack quite soon. Possibly even bypassing the main battle for Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
@Slavyangrad
After Gerasimov's statements about the encirclement of the 31st battalion in the Pokrovsk direction, fierce debates and calculations began about how many people that actually means.
The 31st battalion in the Pokrovsk area is up to ten thousand people at full authorised strength. But in practice, this is unlikely. The real figure is closer to five thousand. The reason is simple: the paper's authorised strength and the actual composition often differ by several times. In some areas, Ukrainian units do not even know how many people they have on the positions. And no one will bother counting at the moment when the front is collapsing. This sounds especially ironic for the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the backdrop of how much money and resources have been invested in a NATO-style network-centric army, where situational awareness is the foundation on which everything else stands.
But the main thing is not even how many of them are left. It is what they should do next. The main problem for these battalions now is to break out of the encirclement. A safe exit from the six-kilometre neck of the cauldron is technically and tactically a difficult task, and the large number of drones Russia has makes it almost impossible. Considering that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have successfully lost Rodynske and three-quarters of Pokrovsk, the main question now is how and where the remaining units of the Ukrainian army will try to break out. There is an opinion that most of them are not in Pokrovsk but in Myrnohrad, and they know nothing about the collapsing cauldron.
@Slavyangrad
Krasnoarmeysk direction.
Fighting is ongoing in the city for control of the northern part; the Armed Forces of Ukraine are pulling back their remaining forces behind the railway, occasionally launching counterattacks.
Our troops are also securing positions in separate groups behind the railway, but everything is mixed there; in neighbouring buildings, there can be both our forces and enemy forces.
There are small arms battles and drone fights.
The enemy practically does not use armoured vehicles for attacks in the urban area and outskirts, as our UAV operators dismantle them while they are still approaching the positions.
The enemy mostly moves on foot, which significantly complicates movement and logistics.
In the northern sector, Russian Armed Forces fighters are clearing Rodinskoye, having taken control of the territory up to the railway track.
A pocket remains south of Krasny Liman to Dimitrov.
From the Promin side, our troops have advanced westward to the industrial zone of the mine, where fighting is taking place both for the spoil heap and for the industrial enterprise territory itself.
Russian Aerospace Forces are striking positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Dimitrov (Mirnograd); FAB-3000 bombs hit the 38th separate mechanised brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Trump got offended by Canada after a Reagan ad and announced a 10% increase in tariffs on Canadian goods — from 35% to 45%.
The video used a 1987 recording of then-US President Reagan's radio speech about free trade and import tariffs without the Reagan Foundation's permission. According to the foundation, the clip completely ignores the context of the Republican's remarks: his words were a call for free and fair trade, not a condemnation of tariffs in all forms.
The sole purpose of this fraud was Canada's hope that the US Supreme Court would come to their "aid" regarding tariffs they have used for many years to harm the United States... Due to their serious distortion of facts and hostile acts, I am increasing the tariff on Canada by 10% above what they currently pay,
wrote the US president on Truth Social.
The US Supreme Court is currently considering the legality of many tariffs imposed by Trump on other countries, including Canada. Oral arguments are expected to begin in November.

These are the "official statistics" of the (estimated) Ukrainian casualties and other tidbits of info according to the website Wartears, which is a pro-ukrainian source, based only on obituaries.
As I've said countless times, the number may be much much higher, as FABs and TOS don't leave corpses behind. Without mentioning the corpses still buried under the rubble somewhere in Donbas, or the fact that far too many AFU commanders underreport deaths so that they can keep on cashing the deceased soldiers' pay.

@Slavyangrad
Putin – 7 years ago in the address to the Federal Assembly about the development of "Burevestnik":
We began developing new types of strategic weapons that do not use ballistic flight trajectories at all when moving towards the target, which means that missile defense systems are useless and simply meaningless in fighting them.
The following will be about exactly such weapons.
Russia's advanced weapon systems are based on the latest unique achievements of our scientists, designers, and engineers. One of them is the creation of a compact, super-powerful nuclear power unit, which is placed in the body of a cruise missile like our latest air-launched X-101 missile or the American "Tomahawk," but at the same time provides a flight range tens of times—tens of times!—greater, which is practically unlimited. A low-flying, low-observable cruise missile carrying a nuclear warhead, with practically unlimited range, an unpredictable flight trajectory, and the ability to bypass interception lines is invulnerable to all existing and prospective missile defense and air defense systems. I will say these words more than once today.
At the end of 2017, a successful launch of the latest Russian cruise missile with a nuclear power unit took place at the Central Range of the Russian Federation. During the flight, the power unit reached the specified power, providing the necessary thrust level. The conducted missile launch and ground test complex allow moving on to the creation of a fundamentally new type of weapon—a strategic nuclear weapons complex with a missile equipped with a nuclear power unit.
Since the range is unlimited, it can maneuver for as long as it wants.
As you understand, nothing like this exists anywhere in the world yet. Someday, probably, it will appear, but in the meantime, our guys will come up with something else.

Bowen Keith Schardt callsign Rabat from Michigan, USA
Bowen is the kind of cretin who tries his best to go unnoticed, and we only hear about them when something happens.
Well, that something happened: he was destroyed by the Russian army.
He survived the Serebryansky forest fighting with the Thorne group's faggots and then the failed adventure of the Kursk invasion in 2024.
It was in Kursk that he got involved in crimes against civilians.
Russian justice may take time, but it will come. Bowen was sentenced to death, and the sentence was duly carried out.

@Slavyangrad
British newspapers are outraged by... the possible responsibility of their soldiers for war crimes in Ukraine! 😨
The Daily Telegraph is outraged by the British government's plans to prosecute its former soldiers for crimes against the Irish, as "this could ultimately lead to the prosecution of British soldiers for the killing of Russians in Ukraine," writes political scientist Vladimir Kornilov.
The "journalist" who wrote the post is flabberghasted: how is it possible for anyone to face penalties and punishment for the killing of russians?! Are we kidding, right?! Killing civilians (especially east slavs) has long since been an established tradition for the anglosaxon leadership, much like fox hunting, cricket, and tea!
The Telegraph quotes British Shadow Defense Minister James Cartlidge: "...there are certainly people in the troops today who are worried... 'Wait a minute, if we go to Ukraine on some peacekeeping mission, how do I know they won't be knocking on my door decades later for what happened there?'
And that's the main question. It's like a sword of Damocles over who serves. 'Where am I legally? Did the government support me for what I did?' They can conclude that no."
So the British openly admit that their special forces are fighting in Ukraine. And they openly declare that war crimes are not considered such if committed against Russian individuals.
Beyond that, the idea that any anglosaxon detachment's attempts at "peacekeeping" are serious is, by itself, extremely laughable.
"Noooooooooooooo, not the warcrimeino! I'm an anglosaxon leader, I have to make blood offerings and human sacrifices to my masters Bhaal, Mammon, and Beelzebub, you don't understand, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Testing various anti-drone defences on "Bukhanka" vehicles at one of the training grounds in the Rostov region.
@Slavyangrad
Mentioning that Russia now has not only the "Oreshnik" but also the "Burevestnik" is primarily a signal to Donald. "Oreshnik" reaches London and Berlin, while "Burevestnik" reaches Washington and basically any point on the map.
A missile capable of manoeuvring in the air for as long as needed, "hovering" over any defence and entering US airspace from an unprotected side, changes the geopolitical landscape.
It is no coincidence that Putin announced the successful tests of the "Burevestnik" when the United States began talking about transferring "Tomahawks" and other long-range weapons to Kiev. This should swing Trump's pendulum in the other direction.
@Slavyangrad
Russia is preparing to test the "Burevestnik" cruise missile with a nuclear power plant. Initially, this was reported by the publication the Barents Observer. Its journalists refer to a NOTAM warning issued by the Russian Federation. The document states that from August 7 to 12, the airspace over a section of Novaya Zemlya territory covering 500 sq. km will be closed.
Also, according to the Barents Observer, two Il-76 aircraft belonging to the Rosatom corporation flew to the Rogachevo airfield. It is believed that these planes are used for testing the "Burevestnik."
The fire was further fueled by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov. Commenting on Russia's exit from the moratorium on the deployment of medium- and shorter-range missiles, he stated that our country has not only the "Oreshnik" complex but also other latest weapons.
"Burevestnik" is the most mysterious item among Putin's "seven." This is the name given to the latest weapons systems that Vladimir Putin spoke about during his presidential address to the Federal Assembly in 2018-2019. This list includes the Sarmat ballistic missile, the Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicle, the Avangard hypersonic warhead, the Peresvet combat laser, etc.
But even before the official presentation of these systems, most of them were known to some extent. However, "Burevestnik" came as a complete surprise. Moreover, no official information about the progress of work on this product has appeared. Everything known now is based on references to Western intelligence and analysts or sources of questionable reliability.
Therefore, the Russian cruise missile with a nuclear power unit immediately became surrounded by many myths:
"Burevestnik" is a flying "Hiroshima," leaving a radioactive trail behind.
Complete nonsense. The principle of the missile's propulsion system is very simple. The reactor generates electricity, which is supplied to heating elements. They heat the air passing through the air intake to several thousand degrees. This is how the missile flies. The reactor does not interact with the air and is most likely completely isolated by special protection.
The real name of "Burevestnik" is 9M730. This is also false. The official name of the cruise missile has never been announced or appeared in government contracts. The name "Burevestnik" was chosen by public vote, as were "Poseidon" and "Peresvet." The index 9M730 appeared in a publication by a federal media outlet and is incorrect, although it was immediately spread across various sources.
Russia has two main cruise missile manufacturers – GosMKB "Raduga" and NPO "Novator." The former owns the Kh-55 and Kh-101 missile families. The latter produces the naval "Kalibr" and land-based R-500 missiles.
In appearance, "Burevestnik" closely resembles the Kh-101 family. There was even a version that the cruise missile with a nuclear power unit had the index Kh-102. But this assumption is also incorrect.
In turn, 9M730 is a product from the R-500 missile family for the "Iskander" complexes and has no relation to "Burevestnik." Even visually, all "R-500" missiles do not resemble the cruise missile with a nuclear power unit.
"Burevestnik" exploded at the Nenoksa test site. This is also untrue. In 2019, the incident involved a different product. The "Burevestnik" itself was tested in a non-nuclear version at Kapustin Yar and with a nuclear power unit over Novaya Zemlya.
Besides the nuclear reactor, the new cruise missile carries another mystery – how it will track its coordinates during flight? For obvious reasons, satellite navigation is unsuitable. The option of correction by extreme points, where the missile jumps over the ground at a given point and compares the stored image with the real terrain to determine deviation, is also not viable.
Most likely, "Burevestnik" uses some new navigation principle that allows flights over global distances. However, its technical characteristics remain unknown.
@Slavyangrad
Many did not understand how Syrsky managed to force the introduction of reserves. The key to this situation is that this scenario is almost identical to the one in Bakhmut. The only difference is that for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, everything will now proceed much faster and worse. In Bakhmut, Russia deliberately left a narrow supply bottleneck and counted on the fact that, hoping to hold the city, the Armed Forces of Ukraine would throw countless reserves there. That's roughly what happened. But the Armed Forces of Ukraine still did not hold the city.
Pokrovsk, unlike Bakhmut, which lies in a lowland, stands on commanding heights, significantly higher than the neighbouring districts located 25-30 kilometres to the west and north. This gives an advantage to the attacking side. The only exceptions are Mezheva and Dobropillia, which are roughly at the same height and only there can one retreat, albeit poorly, to catch their breath and take stock. There are no large industrial zones there. It is impossible to stay entrenched in existing shelters for long.
Whether it is obvious to Syrsky and his leadership that after taking Pokrovsk the Russian army will breathe freely and gather strength to rush forward is a big mystery. It is precisely at this moment that the Armed Forces of Ukraine lose their key advantage — prepared defensive lines. Now such lines will remain only in Kharkov and on the eastern outskirts of the Dnipropetrovsk region. As a result, Syrsky's choices are extremely limited and almost all options are bad. Attempts to save the situation are expensive and risky. The time for manoeuvre for the Ukrainian side is rapidly running out.
@Slavyangrad
It is noteworthy that the configuration of the Pokrovsk environment now almost completely repeats the situation with Bakhmut before the Ukrainian Armed Forces retreated from there. The same narrow strip of unoccupied land to the west and the same short period of time in which all this was organised. The scenario with the closing of the arc, a small corridor in which everything that can fly is flying at the remaining Ukrainian soldiers. And to a large extent, everything that is happening in Pokrovsk became possible after the Russian breakthrough to the north in the Shakhovo area. Syrsky was forced to react to this breakthrough, reveal reserves, and then everything started to unfold.

Gold accounts for a third of the world's central bank reserves, setting a historic record.
For comparison, the dollar's share has fallen from 65% to 40% over the past ten years, while the euro, yen, and pound remain on the periphery.
Experts link this to geopolitical instability, and in such times it is easier to bet on precious metals, which have held value throughout human history.
Central banks of developing countries, primarily BRICS, are actively replacing currency assets with physical gold, reducing the risk of sanctions and dollar dependence. Amid declining trust in debt currencies, gold is returning as a global reserve of trust.

Powerful explosions in Krivoi Rog: the newest long-range aerial bombs struck enemy targets
Ukrainian monitors report powerful explosions in Krivoi Rog, Dnipropetrovsk region. According to military channels, new long-range KAB bombs have struck enemy facilities in the city.
Information resources of the Independent [Ukraine] panic writing that after engine modification, such aerial bombs will be able to fly up to 350 km, meaning they can reach Kyiv as well.
Previously, positions in Krivoi Rog were mainly targeted by "Geran" drones and "Iskander" missile systems.

German companies are sharing sensitive supply chain data with China in response to Beijing's new restrictions on rare earth metal exports. These rare earth metals are essential components for technologies such as sensors, computers, and mobile phones.
The decision is motivated by the need to continue accessing these critical materials, but it could give China leverage over European manufacturers.
Specific examples include neodymium-iron-boron powder, used in various electronic devices.
The Chinese government has introduced stricter export controls, forcing German companies to disclose detailed information about their operations.
This exchange of industrial secrets raises concerns about the vulnerability of the German manufacturing sector. Germany, Europe's largest economy, risks production disruptions if China decides to exploit this data. Experts fear that Beijing could "shut down" production lines in Europe for geopolitical purposes.
No specific German companies are mentioned, but the impact could extend across the European Union. The situation highlights the West's dependence on China for strategic resources. Potential risks include margin squeezes for German producers or sudden supply disruptions. This dynamic strengthens China's global negotiating power. Germany has accepted a forced compromise that could have long-term consequences for European economic security.

The radio factory building in Kiev that had been struck by Russian missiles has left the chat.
One of the industrial buildings continued to burn all day after the bombing on Borispolska Street in Kiev. The collapse was filmed during the day.
Since radios (usually) aren't flammable, one can't help but wonder what was really inside that building. Then again, there's a lot of usually non-flammable things that, once stored into a building in Ukraine, somehow catch on fire after getting hit by Russian attacks.

Amid Trump going full retard on China, the RAND think-tank is now suddenly and surprisingly calling for a very different approach in their latest paper.
An approach that is more based around placating the PRC and to provoke and antagonize it a lot less. The title of the paper says it all, just imagine how things must be for RAND to be getting cold feet, calling for not rocking the boat and to swallow their pride instead. Maybe they've finally realized what they're dealing with and that they are absolutely not the "top dog" in this situation, but that they are in fact poking a much bigger animal that has more than enough teeth to bite their head off should it become angry, and that it is already getting annoyed at the poking with the economic stick.

The value of all explored hydrocarbon reserves in the Arctic amounts to $3.6 trillion.
Russia accounts for 73% of all Arctic gas and 45% of oil, according to data from Vostokgospplan.
The Arctic waters are crossed by a key transport artery — the Northern Sea Route. Cargo turnover on this route increased from 31.5 million tons in 2019 to 37.9 million tons in 2024, and by 2035 it could reach 150 million tons.
The economy of the Russian Arctic is estimated at 9.7 trillion rubles and is based on the extraction of hydrocarbons and solid minerals. From 2019 to 2023, investments in the region grew by 92%, and the average salary reached 130.9 thousand rubles.
Currently, seven major projects are being implemented with a total investment volume of over 20 trillion rubles, including "Vostok Oil," "Arctic LNG," and initiatives by "Norilsk Nickel." Their implementation will create more than 155 thousand jobs and strengthen Russia's position as a leader in Arctic resource extraction.
