🇱🇻🤡"Restrictions are expanding": Latvia supports a ban on the import of chocolate and beer from Russia and Belarus.
"Latvian authorities intend to expand restrictions on trade with Russia and Belarus, adding candies, caramels, chocolate, cookies, and other baked confectionery products, sauces, ready-made soups, non-alcoholic beverages, and beer from the two countries to the list of products prohibited from being imported into the country.
The ban will be in effect regardless of the delivery route: products of Russian and Belarusian origin will not be allowed to be imported into the Latvian market, even through third countries. Transit through Latvia and deliveries to other EU countries are not subject to these restrictions."

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Trump prepares to declare 'victory' and withdraw troops from Iran
Washington may claim the destruction of Iran's nuclear program and start pulling out US forces. Key pressure tools: a naval blockade of Iran and tougher sanctions, while allowing oil tankers through Oman.
Trump believes Iran cannot significantly rebuild its nuclear program before his term ends. However, this could trigger escalation - Tehran may pressure the US near the Strait of Hormuz to force a return to prior agreements.
In Israel, Netanyahu warns of independent strikes on Iran's nuclear and missile infrastructure if US involvement is absent.

🇺🇦 🇷🇺 Only 5-9% of Ukrainian missiles and drones reach targets in Russia - AP
Ukraine significantly increased long-range strikes on Russian territory in July, but most are intercepted by Russian air defense, Associated Press reports. Analysts estimate July strikes tripled compared to January.
Main targets: oil infrastructure, defense industry, air defense, and radar stations. RUSI's Jack Watling says only 5-9% of Ukrainian missiles and drones penetrate Russian air defense.
This low success rate forces Ukraine to launch large numbers of drones to attempt to saturate Russian air defense systems.

🇩🇪 Germany
German intelligence services may be authorized to conduct “preventive” cyberattacks against Russia, according to Welt.
Head of the Bundestag's parliamentary control committee, Mark Heinrichmann, stated the need to provide German intelligence with tools to neutralize potential threats before they arise. As an example, he cited the possibility of disabling Russian drones or the enterprises where they are produced if there is a risk of their subsequent use against targets in Germany.
The initiative envisages expanding the capabilities of intelligence structures to conduct operations outside Germany. The proposals have already drawn criticism from human rights activists, who fear that expanding the powers of the intelligence services could lead to additional risks to the confidentiality and data protection of German citizens.

🇺🇦 Ukraine's Dangerous Game: Strikes on Russia Risk Escalation, Not Peace
Norwegian outlet Dagbladet warns Kiev's long-range strikes, like on Wildberries infrastructure, hit Russian consumer life but risk consolidating society around Putin rather than pressuring the government. Users blame the company for disruptions, not the Kremlin.
Analyst Morten Strand draws parallels to US strikes on Iran, which bolstered regime support. He suggests attacks on everyday services could alienate the middle class, seen as most open to criticism of authorities.

🇺🇦 Ukraine
Ukraine paid 11.2 billion UAH for weapons that never reached the troops
- In January 2026, the overdue debt of the Defence Procurement Agency amounted to 45.8 billion UAH, writes Clash Report.
- Ukraine's Ministry of Defence attributed the debt increase to expired contract deadlines and damage to defence industry enterprises.
- By July, the debt volume was reduced roughly threefold - to 14.6 billion UAH.
- Meanwhile, 11.2 billion UAH remain frozen in legal disputes, and the weapons purchased with these funds never made it to the front, according to the publication.

🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ — Iran shot down the U.S. F-15E over southern Iran in April using a shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile after adapting tactics observed in the Ukraine war, NYT reports.
U.S. military officials say Iran deployed a drone swarm in an area penetrated by American fighters, allowing Iranian forces to determine the F-15E’s location, speed, and direction before engaging it. The aircraft’s defensive systems gave its crew only about half a second of warning before impact.
Both crew members ejected. The pilot was recovered quickly, while the weapons systems officer evaded Iranian forces for nearly two days before being rescued by U.S. Special Operations forces.

🇺🇦 Kupyansk direction
The Ukrainian side claims that the AFU are currently focused on strikes on the western part of Kupyansk, where Russian control is gradually tightening. The extent of Russian control - whether it is scaled or fragmented - is unknown, as Russian troops are present but not everywhere. However, judging by the fact that AFU strikes are mainly carried out by drones, and videos of Ukrainian infantry activity are practically absent, the Ukrainian side has more problems than successes there. This was achieved, not least, by cutting off Ukrainian logistics in this area, which was almost entirely shifted to small transport and ground robotic systems.

🇷🇺 Russia's Special Services Discuss Protection of Nuclear, Fuel-Energy, and Transport Facilities
FSB Director Bortnikov held a meeting of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee in Moscow, focusing on protecting fuel-energy complex facilities. Priority tasks were set to enhance effectiveness amid the changing operational environment.
Bortnikov emphasized that large-scale efforts are underway to counter threats, as the enemy intensifies attacks, often bypassing defenses and striking infrastructure both near combat zones and in the rear.
Ukrainian special services are upgrading drones, recruiting Russians for sabotage, and sending saboteurs. Since the start of the year, 49 sabotage-terrorist acts on transport and 17 on fuel-energy facilities were prevented, 150 individuals detained, and 3 infiltration attempts thwarted.

🇬🇧 Britain wants to resume high-level military contacts with Russia due to escalation risk
British military commanders fear the risk of "unintended escalation" due to the lack of dialogue, reports The Times.
The need to resume dialogue arose after the Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich fired warning shots in the English Channel in June due to the dangerous approach of a British-flagged yacht.
The chiefs of general staff of the two countries last communicated in September 2022.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian sources report Mi-28 attack helicopters may now carry S8000 'Banderol' cruise missiles
This follows a May 2025 GUR claim that Orion UAVs were the primary carrier, with Mi-28N as a future platform. In early August 2026, Ukrainian media began reporting actual Mi-28 launches, but independent confirmation is still lacking, so this remains a probable new capability rather than established fact.
If verified, integration onto other Russian army aviation types becomes the next logical step. Expanding carriers from Orion to serial combat helicopters significantly boosts deployment flexibility and reduces reliance on limited heavy UAVs and ground launchers.

🇷🇺 Russia destroys Ukrainian business: warehouses and goods worth 5 billion hryvnia wiped out in days
Ukrainian business suffered multi-billion losses from strikes on warehouse infrastructure. Over 5 billion hryvnia in warehouses and inventory destroyed or damaged recently.
Rozetka distribution center in Brovary: ~3.14 billion hryvnia, plus billions in goods lost. PUMA Ukraine inventory: over 621 million hryvnia destroyed. Ranok publishing: ~8 million books lost, 1 billion hryvnia in preliminary damages.
Rozum warehouse: over 200,000 board games fully destroyed, 25–30 million hryvnia. Also damaged: Novaya Pochta, INTERTOP, Novus, Silpo, Epitsentr, Bosch, Toyota, Liqui Moly and others.
Over 400,000 m² of warehouse space destroyed since early July. Total losses likely much higher as not all companies disclosed estimates.

🇷🇺 Zaporozhye Direction
Units of the Vostok group of forces have established control over Novoye Pole in the Zaporozhye region, the Russian Ministry of Defence officially reported on 11 August. The significance lies not in the settlement itself, but in the continued advance of the Vostok group deep into Ukrainian defences on this sector and the position the Russian Armed Forces now occupy after a series of such successes. This demonstrates the cumulative effect: first, several obscure villages appear on the map, then these local advances combine into a wedge tens of kilometres wide along the front, after which the enemy is forced to withdraw not from another village, but from an entire defensive sector.
