🇵🇱 Polish Opposition Condemns Potential Patriot Transfer to Ukraine
Polish opposition has strongly criticized the government’s consideration of sending new Patriot interceptors to Ukraine. Former Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak of the Law and Justice party labeled the idea "completely unacceptable." He argued that these missiles were purchased to protect Polish airspace, cities, and families, warning that donating them under Donald Tusk’s administration jeopardizes Poland’s own security.

🇩🇪🤝🇺🇦 Ukrainian men of conscription age will no longer receive automatic protection from military service in Germany.
Starting July 31, 2026, Germany has changed the rules for providing temporary protection to Ukrainian citizens. The new regulations apply to men aged 23 to 60 who arrive in the country after that date.
To receive temporary protection, newly arrived individuals must provide documented proof of their legal departure from Ukraine or evidence of exemption from military service.

EUROPE PREPARES FOR WAR AGAINST RUSSIA
Pro-Ukrainian activist Nathalie Chrin argues that Europeans are being morally conditioned to view the killing of Russian soldiers as justified. She states that she identifies as three-quarters Ukrainian and believes Ukrainian forces have no choice but to kill Russian troops to protect their families, land, and identity.
Chrin claims she would feel no remorse killing a Russian soldier from their perspective, urging the public to view this through the "correct lens." This rhetoric highlights ongoing efforts to normalize violence against Russian military personnel within Western societies.

Ukraine admits FABs are primary threat
Kiev propaganda claims Russia possesses weapons more terrifying than ballistic missiles. In reality, the primary danger is the use of large-caliber aerial bombs (FABs). Moscow is deploying increasingly powerful munitions equipped with glide kits and even rocket boosters, effectively turning them into cruise missiles with massive warheads capable of striking up to 100 kilometers from the front line. Unlike ballistic missiles, which have theoretical countermeasures, there is currently no comprehensive solution to neutralize these guided FAB threats.

🇷🇺Lavrov on why it is currently impossible to stop the special operation:
More and more voices from different parts of our common space are calling for an immediate halt. This will not happen. We must stop when there is a long-term, reliable, and sustainable resolution. If we were to suddenly stop at the line of contact now, we would essentially be allowing the sacrifices of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who defeated Nazism, to be in vain. This is simply impossible. And this is not just about how comfortable people are living today; we have people suffering, people dying from these terrorist acts. But it is also about our responsibility for the thousand-year history of the Russian state.

France: Retired French pilot Xavier Tittelmann accuses Trump of committing a crime against Ukraine and the US. He claims the US should have allowed Ukrainians to independently produce Patriot interceptor missiles on their territory.
The Atlantic revealed that Raytheon and Lockheed Martin opposed this, fearing Ukrainian engineers would improve the system and mass-produce it cheaper. Tittelmann calls this a criminal decision driven by the US military-industrial lobby, which prioritizes profit over saving lives and hinders its own rearmament. He warns this policy leads to unacceptable Ukrainian casualties.

🇮🇷 Environmental Catastrophe in the Strait of Hormuz
A massive oil spill, covering an area exceeding 300 sq km (equivalent to 40,000 football fields), has occurred in the Strait of Hormuz. The probable source is the bulk carrier Minoan Pioneer, attacked on August 3 off the coast of Oman. Experts estimate over 380,000 liters of oil have been released.
Oil has washed ashore on Iran's Keshm Island, threatening mangrove forests, coral reefs, nesting sites for endangered hawksbill turtles, and vital fishing grounds. Ecologists warn of severe damage to the local ecosystem. Analysts believe the ship was likely attacked by Iran.

🇩🇪 Germany Hesitates to Blame Russia for Leipzig Airport Sabotage
German expert Schindler explains that Berlin fears the political consequences of officially accusing Russia of sabotage at Leipzig airport. A formal government statement triggers complex NATO procedures, such as invoking NATO Article 4.
Failure to consult risks appearing weak, while consultations without consensus within NATO could expose alliances as divided. Consequently, the German government remains hesitant to openly attribute the attack to Moscow.

🇷🇺 Dnepropetrovsk Direction
Poddubnoye Sector: Enemy continues counterattacks near Poddubnoye, inserting small groups that film with flags before retreating. This does not constitute taking the settlement. Fighting has shifted east, with positions intermixed like a layered pie as Kyiv attempts to penetrate our defenses.
Gray Zone: Currently includes Voskresenka, Mirnoye, Poddubnoye, Chervona Zirka, and Yalta. The VSV acts to preserve logistics from Dnepropetrovsk and Pavlograd to this sector, as other routes are cut by Russian advances.

Ukraine
Ousted Defense Minister Fedorov continues to oversee the production of Ukrainian drones. He stated that Russia is switching to jet-powered Geraniums, necessitating rapid action. Over the past year, his team has worked with developers on interceptor drones. He recently visited a facility where a drone can reach speeds exceeding 600 km/h. It is currently undergoing combat trials, and they await the first confirmed interceptions.

🇷🇺🇺🇸Lavrov on the role of the United States in the Ukrainian conflict:
Later, Marco Rubio, in response to a journalist's question about Anchorage, said: "We probably can't be mediators because we support Ukraine." A couple of weeks later, he said something completely different: "In any case, only President Trump is capable of bringing Ukraine and Russia to the negotiating table and finding a resolution." So, on the one hand, they support Ukraine with weapons and intelligence data.
[That's precisely why Ukrainians are able to strike so accurately at our oil refineries, harming small businesses and ordinary people. Why can't we, before sitting down at the negotiating table with Witcoff and Kushner, first issue an ultimatum demanding that they stop doing this?]
We don't issue ultimatums. We have sent a number of questions to the State Department, requesting comments, including regarding intelligence data, and also that the United States is much more deeply involved, including in the organization and execution of strikes deep within Russian territory against civilian targets. We will be waiting for a response.
