Ukraine continues to destroy Russian fuel logistics. New reports of the destruction of a ship with fuel tanks in the port of Kavkaz in Kerch. Details are being clarified. The oil depot in Proletarsk, Rostov Region, has been burning for the fifth day. After the attack on

Proletarsk, a sale of oil depots has begun in the Rostov Region, local media write. Several oil depots in different areas of the region are up for sale. In addition, two more oil refineries and an inactive oil depot are up for sale in the Rostov Region. Ukraine is

confronting a much larger enemy and the tactics that Ukraine has successfully used many times during this war are to methodically destroy logistics and attack when the army has supply problems. There is nothing new in the tactics themselves, but new technologies provide new
3/13
opportunities. Such tactics also work at a small level, when the Russians are allowed to enter a populated area, then cut off from supplies with drones and artillery, and then destroyed one by one. So, on a general level - Ukraine methodically took out air defense, after
4/13
which it was easier to attack oil storage facilities and airfields. Solving one problem after another. It is unlikely that the operation in the Kursk region is the place of Ukraine's main attack. Its goal is to liberate territory, not to seize new ones. While Putin is not
5/13
ready to withdraw forces from the Pokrovsk direction, parts of the troops have already been sent from the Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions to stop the Ukrainians in Kursk. Is it possible that Ukraine is planning a new offensive in the Zaporizhzhya region? It is possible,
6/13
but this is not certain. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have not yet introduced into battle most of the brigades formed by the new mobilization. Not all Western equipment has been introduced either. Ukraine is accumulating resources. A maximum of 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers are
7/13
operating in Kursk. Some of whom are still in Ukraine as reinforcements. During the war, theories have repeatedly surfaced that it would be most advantageous to strike in the Zaporizhzhya region, but inflated expectations led to failure. The offensive in 2023 did not work
8/13
out. Will the Ukrainians be able to do it now and will they risk going through the heavily mined and fortified areas of the Zaporizhia region now with larger forces and different tactics? It still remains a very difficult task. The Kursk operation is ongoing, and we have
9/13
even gotten used to the idea that Ukrainian troops are occupying Russian territory. Who would have thought of this a month ago? Ukraine has begun to advance into the Glushkovsky district, where they have cut off up to 2,000 Russian troops from supplies across the Seim River
10/13
Another 300 square kilometers of territory may soon be taken by Ukraine. The total area of the Kursk region, where fighting is currently underway, already exceeds 1,350 square kilometers. The operation is going well. We must remember that Ukraine is also suffering losses,
11/13
the Ukrainian civilian population is constantly under shelling. Russia is trying to stop the offensive in Kursk, this time by bombing its own cities. However, autumn is approaching and in about 2 months the fighting will be more difficult to conduct due to the weather and
12/13
muddy roads. Is Ukraine preparing another blow? Most likely, but at the moment no one except the Ukrainian General Staff knows where the next strike will be. And that's for the best. Let Ukraine surprise us once again.

This week has been very eventful. The oil depot in the Rostov region has been burning for the sixth day, and there was a repeat arrival. The last ferry for transporting railway cars is at the bottom. The "Kursk People's Republic" is expanding and the Ukrainian Armed Forces

are successfully clearing the Glushkovsky district and preparing to advance on Rylsk. After the attack on the Marinovka airfield near Volgograd, experts are still calculating exactly how many planes were destroyed. The Volgograd region is unlucky this week. In IK-19, four

men considering themselves members of ISIS took eight employees of the colony and four convicts hostage. The terrorists inflicted stab wounds of varying severity on the four prison workers, three of whom died. Another four who resisted were hospitalized, one of whom died

Crimean Bridge, get ready! The ferry Conro Trader that was hit in the port of Kavkaz was the last one that was sailing across the Kerch Strait and could transport railway cars. The only way of transportation between the peninsula and Russia remains the Crimean 1/8
Bridge. The ferry sank. According to initial data, it was hit by a Neptune missile. It was transporting fuel and caught fire after the missile hit. There were two ferries across the strait and the first one is currently undergoing repairs after it was damaged in May of this 2/8
year. Russia was moving its best, newest air defense systems to Crimea, but in two months from March to June, Ukraine destroyed about 15 S300-S400 systems. Possibly one S-500. Ukraine is clearly clearing a path for itself and is using Neptune missiles of its own production 3/8
The Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out a major drone attack in Russia. Drones were spotted in Murmansk, which is more than 2,000 km from Ukraine and currently the farthest point that a Ukrainian drone has ever flown to. There was also a hit on an airfield in Volgograd, 1/7
after which a fire started there. Residents of the Kalachevsky District of the Volgograd Region reported a drone attack on the Marinovka military airfield, where Su-24MR reconnaissance aircraft are stationed. The region's governor, Andrei Bocharov, confirmed the fire "on the 2/7
territory of a Defense Ministry facility." According to NASA satellite data, the fire also broke out on the site where the aircraft are parked. Details. The governor reported a UAV crash on the territory of a military facility, as well as a drone attack near the village of 3/7
Perhaps 2 to 3 thousand soldiers remained cut off in the Glushkovsky district. The Proletarsk oil depot has been burning for the third day after a Ukrainian drone attack. There is not enough plain water to put it out, so they decided to pour holy water on it too. Maybe it

will help. But while his army is retreating, Russia is losing the Kursk region, and the oil is burning. Putin does not appear in public, distancing himself from the problems in every possible way. Putin always avoids the topic during times of crisis and distances himself.

When the Kursk submarine sank, he did not even interrupt his vacation. After a trip to Baku, Putin went to Grozny. This is his first time in Chechnya since 2011. He visited the grave of Akhmat Kadyrov, who was killed in the terrorist attack on May 9, 2004. Then he met with

1/9 Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi has disclosed statistics regarding russian missile and drone strikes in Ukraine. Ukraine requires additional air defense both before winter and for the long term! Take by @joni_askola
2/9 On August 20, Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, stated that since the onset of russia's full-scale invasion, more than 9,600 missiles and nearly 14,000 attack drones have been deployed against Ukraine.
3/9 Of the missiles launched, 5,197 were directed at civilian targets. In a meeting with local and regional authorities, Syrskyi disclosed that Ukrainian air defense has successfully intercepted and destroyed over 2,400 missiles and 9,200 drones.
After the withdrawal of troops from Germany, Russia retained ownership of several buildings in the Berlin district of Karlshorst. They have been empty for exactly 30 years. Now local politicians are calling for them to be taken away from Moscow and handed over to Kyiv.

Today, the buildings are fenced off, and sometimes, according to local residents, an elderly Russian-speaking couple clears the area of leaves and garbage. Old-timers have repeatedly asked the Berlin authorities to solve the problem of these virtually abandoned houses.

The requests have intensified against the backdrop of an acute housing shortage in Berlin. Now, a member of the Berlin parliament from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Ukrainian-born Lilia Usik, is proposing, amid discussions about frozen Russian assets, to take these
