Russia claims it captured Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine after 16+ months of fighting — CNN.

Ukraine Defense Ministry denies losing control, says town remains under Ukrainian forces.

Town had 12,000 people before war, now in ruins. 1/ Image
DeepState maps show Ukraine still holds the western part.

If fully seized, Russia would gain high ground and could threaten key cities in Ukraine’s defensive “fortress belt”: Slovyansk, Kramatorsk, and Kostyantynivka. 2X

Russia can’t win by force, so it wages cognitive war to confuse, delay, and paralyze decisions in the West.

Its goal: get others to do less so it can do more[and win Ukraine in war], Nataliya Bugayova for Foreign Policy.

Putin knows NATO's economy dwarfs his. If the West backs Ukraine fully, Russia loses. So he pushes false premises:

– Russian victory is inevitable

– Western aid is pointless

– Russia deserves a sphere of influence

2/
Russia hits every platform: state media (TASS, RT), foreign conferences, diplomacy, international bodies, and social media. It links these with cyberattacks, drills, sabotage, and military strikes.

Kyiv Post: In occupied Donetsk, water runs for only 4 hours every 3 days. People drink from puddles, mine runoff, basements.

Children plead to Putin: «Uncle Vova, give us water.»

1/ Image
On July 22, pro-Russian Telegram channels with 500,000 followers published an open letter to Putin.

It accused Russian-installed authorities of ignoring “a humanitarian and environmental catastrophe.”

2/
Water is yellow, foul, undrinkable. Upper floors get none. Bottled water sells for 5 rubles/liter—double the price in Mariupol.

Residents queue for hours, flush toilets with rainwater.

European Pravda explains how much Europe will cut if Ukraine misses deadlines: in Q2 2024, Ukraine failed 3 of 4 reform targets — Brussels cut the €4.48B tranche to €3.05B. If delays continue, Ukraine risks losing another €1B from the next €2B payment.

1/ Image
This cut was not linked to July’s NABU rollback. That law sparked protests, but the EU reduced the tranche due to earlier delays Kyiv had known about since spring.

Missed indicators:
— Vocational education reform
— Selection of High Anti-Corruption Court judges
— Reform of territorial executive power
Only the ARMA law passed, unlocking €500M.

RIA Novosti mocks Ukraine’s army, praises Russia’s, and accuses the West of feeding Ukrainians into a meat grinder for show.

Here’s how their propaganda works, step by step.

1/
RIA calls Western praise of Ukraine a paradox. They say media outlets[The Economist, Atlantic Council] praise Ukraine’s very-very strong army while also reporting collapsing trenches, failed logistics, falling morale, desertions, and encircled positions.

2/
They write that Ukrainian losses already double the mobilization rate. That Ukraine’s army shrinks before your eyes. That Zelenskyy’s allies plan to remove him.

The future of naval warfare isn’t steel giants — it’s agile, low-cost Ukrainian drones.

Magura sank the Ivanovets, blew up Caesar Kunikov. Russia’s Black Sea Fleet hides in port.

It started in 2022 with 4 engineers and a modified fishing boat, reports Naval News.

1/ Image
In summer 2022, Ukraine’s SBU tasked 4 engineers to “do something with the enemy fleet.”

They built the first prototype — Magura V1 — using a small fishing boat and Starlink for remote control.

That boat reshaped naval warfare.

2/
Magura V1 had a 6-meter hull, a small outboard engine, and a covered deck for a low profile.

Reliable Starlink communication made it possible to pilot the vessel hundreds of kilometers from shore.

Ukrainian intel hacked Russian servers in Crimea, found thousands of files proving mass child abductions.

Hackers stole personal files of Ukrainian kids taken from Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk, Kyiv Independent reports.

1/ Image
Files show relocation addresses, fake guardianship by Russian citizens, and resettlement plans.

Military intel says it handed all documents to law enforcement to support war crimes cases and bring kids home.

2/
Ukraine’s Children of War database confirms: Russia kidnapped 19,546 kids since Feb 2022. Only 1,468 returned.
