Latest @DefenceHQ update: "only minimal changes" along the front line in the Donbas over "the last week", after some minor #Russian advances in early August. #Ukraine moving on Kherson, increasingly frequent strikes behind the lines in the south are "stressing Russian logistics". 
Credit to #France's President Macron for this: strongly preparing the French population for a rough winter, necessary to defend their security and values.

#Ukraine has struck at #Russia in occupied #Crimea again this morning, at the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, and this time we know how: with a drone.

Has been a second explosion in #Crimea today, in Zaozerne village, near Yevpatoriia.
The #Russian occupation authorities claim "the air defence system worked" and "there were no casualties or damage" - so presumably half the Black Sea Fleet is on fire. t.me/Aksenov82/1349

Good move, assuming they can get it past Russia's blockade ... "US to Buy 150,000 Metric Tons of Grain from Ukraine to Feed Global Hungry Regions" nbcnewyork.com/news/national-…
Highly doubt #Finland's Prime Minister will be damaged by these videos of her out at drinks, but someone - we can hardly imagine who - certainly hoped to do her considerable damage.

#Russia is claiming #Ukraine has used chemical weapons against its troops. This kind of claim from Moscow of "terrorism" is clearly a lie, but more ominously these claims have sometimes preceeded Russia's use of such weapons.

An extraordinary event:
Darya Dugin, daughter of Putin propagandist Aleksandr Dugin, has been killed near the village of Bolshiye Vyazyomy in the Moscow Oblast.
Darya was blown up in her car, and Aleksandr can be seen here at the scene.

Ah, she's back: one of Iran/Asad's most reliable propagandists is on Russia's side over Ukraine. Shocker.

The, er, optics of this are not great: Henry Foy was the author of that abysmal, fact-free piece for the @FT on weapons sent to #Ukraine going astray, a persistent #Russian talking point, and now he sat for a cosy chat with a Russian official, Gennady Gatilov.
