Zelensky: If Russia is ready for a ceasefire, it must stop massive strikes on Ukraine.

Also, we reviewed Trump’s proposal in London, adjusted some minor details, and sent it back for approval.

0/
Zelensky: Trump’s team proposed a strategy for a ceasefire during London talks.

Ukraine, European countries, and the U.S. reviewed it, adjusted certain points, and created a document that's now awaiting Trump’s approval.

1/
Zelensky: Russia dislikes Ukraine’s presence in Africa and opposes normal humanitarian and economic relations between Ukraine and African nations.

Russia seeks exclusive influence not only in Africa but globally.

2/
Zelensky: Russia kidnapped thousands of Ukrainian children. Today, I handed President Ramaphosa a list of 400 names.

We seek South Africa's assistance in returning them home.

3/
Zelensky: If Russia says it's ready for a ceasefire, it must stop massive strikes on Ukraine. That's Ukrainians who have been under constant Russian attacks.

4/
Zelensky: Ukraine faces continuous Russian missile attacks.

The latest strike involved over 200 air targets, including ballistic missiles and drones, causing deaths and injuries in Kyiv and other cities.

5/
Ramaphosa: South Africa discussed expanding ties with Ukraine in agriculture, trade, education, infrastructure, and energy.

Both sides acknowledge Ukraine’s grain initiative with a hub in Mombasa, Kenya.

6/
Ramaphosa: South Africa is deeply involved in peace talks for Ukraine, including the African Peace Initiative.

It aims at an unconditional ceasefire, prisoner exchanges, and the return of children taken to Russia.

Ukraine’s new Defence Minister Khmara: Ukraine’s deep strikes and drone campaigns must cost about 2% of the damage they cause Russia.

We can’t go punch for punch with Russia. We have to be asymmetric, interview with Laura Loomer.

1/ Image
Khmara: Don’t send someone where you’re not ready to go yourself.

Soldiers know I would never ask them to take a risk I would not take myself.

2/
Khmara: Future wars will be won by those who innovate faster, adapt faster, and save lives where they can.

Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, hid military goods from war-related searches after Ukrainian drones hit seven warehouses since July 18.

Search for "everything for the SVO," Russia's war euphemism, returned 200k products. Now it shows none — Kyiv Independent. 1/ Image
Wildberries sells dual-use gear that Russian troops use against Ukraine, including bulletproof vests and fiber-optic cable for drones.

Kyiv said it struck the warehouses to disrupt Russian army logistics. Wildberries is often compared to Amazon for its reach across Russia. 2/
The Myrotvorets project, a Ukrainian watchdog, published a screenshots showing military helmets under the "everything for the SVO" search.

The Moscow Times reported that Wildberries later scrubbed that whole section, days after the drone strikes on its warehouses. 3/

Former British Army Colonel Ingram: Russia wants Ukraine to capitulate, pause the war, restore foreign ties, rebuild its army and strike again.

It will come back for another slice of Ukraine, Georgia or elsewhere. Moscow plays for generations; the West plays by elections.

1/
Ingram: It is too early to say Putin’s inner circle is turning on him. Putin controls them.

If one speaks against him, he tends to have an “accident,” usually a ninth-floor window. Putin is oligarch-in-chief: he lets them keep money and corruption, or he takes them out.

2/
Ingram: After Putin’s staged reelection, he may claim a mandate, call this an existential war against NATO and order general mobilization.

Ukraine kills or badly wounds 30,000+ Russians a month; 39,000 in June. Russia cannot replace them fast enough.

Kapustin, commander of Ukraine's Russian Volunteer Corps: What breaks a captured Russian soldier isn't our gear. It's that after four days drinking from puddles, we hand him water from our own hands.

That's when something cracks. 1/
Kapustin: Russian POWs from Vovchansk arrive with frostbitten feet, some missing toes.

Sent out for weeks without winter gear, they wrap their feet in foil thermal blankets, thinking it's waterproof. One captured 18-year-old lost several toes after being sent to fetch snow. 2/
Kapustin: Russian soldiers infiltrating near our lines dropped radios for phones rigged with Starlink, reporting coordinates by Telegram.

Once Starlink access was cut, they lost their only link to command. We took many of them prisoner, frostbitten and starving. 3/

Who else but Ukraine can shut the Black Sea to Russia with naval and aerial drones? In 18 days in July, Ukraine hit 196 vessels

Russia’s Azov oil-product exports stopped. In Black Sea ports, exports fell nearly in half to 1 million tons. Tanker calls dropped from 55 to 27, EP.1/ Image
Together with strikes on Russian refineries, these attacks stopped exports of key oil products.

Russia no longer exports gasoline. Jet fuel exports stopped. Diesel shipments fell to 4% of the level before Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries, oil sites, and logistics.

2/
Ukrainian drones hit rudders, propellers, and bridges.

The ship loses movement, drifts, waits for a tugboat, and goes into repairs. One repair can cost $2-5 million.

Fire Point co-founder Shtilierman: Our mega-plan is to reach three ballistic missiles a day by the end of the year.

Roughly 90 missiles a month, like Russia.

1/
Shtilierman: A Ukrainian drone flies to Moscow, and Russia fires three Pantsirs at it. None hit. Three Pantsirs against one drone.

Then they tried to shoot down Morok and missed, making that famous “roof” over Moscow. Do not underestimate Russia, but do not overestimate it either.

2/
Shtilierman: Russia adapted Iskander to burn more Patriots. A faster missile will be harder to shoot down.

Russia has no hit-to-kill interceptor: make the warhead shell thicker, and even if the missile breaks, the warhead keeps flying, falls and detonates.
