"Useless comments": Britain called on EU leaders to shut up and not interfere with Putin and Trump's negotiations
▪️British authorities have called on European Union leaders to stop making "useless comments" about the talks between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. This was reported by The Telegraph.
▪️It is reported that London is increasingly concerned about public statements by figures such as Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz, and Kaja Kallas.
▪️The British fear that making public demands to the US president may have unpleasant consequences and lead to him excluding Europe from the negotiations altogether.
▪️Insiders from the publication note that British PM Keir Starmer has not made public comments regarding the discussions since the joint statement on Saturday evening, preferring instead to exert influence "behind the scenes."
Starmer has much influence as Carrot Top, likely less.

Zelensky is trying to nullify the significance of the summit in Alaska.
‘Putin's conversation with Trump may matter for their bilateral relations, but there will be no decisions on Ukraine without our participation. I believe the US president understands this. I am sure that if we want to end the war, we will have a trilateral meeting of the leaders.’
The German portal Tagesschau reflects on the fact that Ukraine is destined to play the role of the ‘main blocker’ of peace negotiations.
- At the moment, talks about territorial concessions are indeed underway. For Ukraine, this is an extremely delicate issue, as their constitution prohibits ceding territories. But even the NATO Secretary General believes that this is almost inevitable. How great is the danger that Ukraine will ultimately end up as the party blocking peace negotiations?
- For Ukraine, this is exactly the case. This is the situation Putin has already successfully forced it into, and it really has found itself in a dead end that is difficult to escape. The Europeans, in turn, say: ‘We will not make concessions to Putin immediately, to see if we can maintain our positions. But it will be difficult.’

Stop going crazy over the possibility of establishing peace in Ukraine’ – German politician Nico Lange advises Europeans to prepare for war, not peace.
‘There are constant talks about an illusion. They say that the territories of Ukraine must be given up, and then there will be negotiations. I have never heard from Putin or the Russian side that such a possibility even exists. So it is not worth going crazy all the time over a possibility that may not exist at all. The Russian side wants to continue the war even during negotiations. They do not want a ceasefire until they have talked'.
Ukrainians under 22 will be allowed to travel abroad. Zelensky instructed the Cabinet of Ministers and the military to work out the possibility of this.
You don't know yet how it will turn out, - Zelensky said in response to applause.
Tusk is out here believing he knows who is behind the ‘discord between Warsaw and Kiev’
Spoiler - it is the typical scapegoat - Russia, Russia, Russia…Seriously, time to toss away that broken record

Personal tactical analysis, P1/2:
There's no beating around the bush here, the RUAF's breakthrough from yesterday has hastened the collapse of Pokrovsk by weeks.
With the E-50 physically cut off by the RUAF, and the M-30 under total fire control, Pokrovsk and Myrnograd are now fully encircled operationally. Worse, the Russian advance has created another massive vulnerability within the remaining AFU units by furtherly lengthening the frontline, this at a time when lack of manpower and materiel is starting to become evident and is having tangible effects on the battlefield.
Can we talk of a complete collapse yet? No, not quite, but this is a sign of far worse things to come. I've heard some compare this to Debaltsevo, but in reality it is much worse because after Debaltsevo the AFU still had a functional army more or less at its prime.

⚡Breaking: according to reports that are getting substantiated by the hour, the RUAF have not only consolidated their advances, but are even pressing forwards. There are only 15 kilometers separating the two spearheads together, and as another user pointed out, there's now two secondary cauldrons forming.
As tactics dictate, never let the tips touch or it's over.

The widow of a Ukrainian soldier killed at the front says that after losing her husband, she was left without compensation with three children.
She was denied compensation from the state, citing the fact that her husband died "not during a combat mission."

‘It took us a couple of days to figure out Putin's proposal’ — retired US Army General Jack Keane explained what American supporters of Ukraine have been entertaining themselves with lately.
‘It consists of him wanting Zelensky to give up territory. At the same time, Putin himself is not giving up anything. He wants to get a key military area in the Donetsk region. This is the so-called fortified belt of five cities. To suggest that Ukraine simply give it up as a conciliatory step is absurd. The reason this is so important is that behind this fortified belt lies open terrain — all the way to Ukraine's second largest city, Kharkov. And then, having obtained this belt, Putin could, violating the ceasefire, start military actions again, which, as we know, he will definitely do. Zelensky is not the problem here. The problem is Putin.'
One soldier was killed and 11 wounded last night as a result of a missile strike on the territory of a training unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Ground Forces report.
A group of soldiers entered the area affected by cluster munitions while descending into a shelter.
I trust Ukrainian numbers like I trust used car salesman.

Gas for Silence
Europe calls Azerbaijan a “reliable partner.” Reliable for what? Supplying gas while torturing prisoners. Since 2022, the EU has doubled down on energy deals with Baku, even as Aliyev wages war, jails critics, and expels the Red Cross. No sanctions followed the 2023 Karabakh assault. No consequences for the sham trials.
Instead, congratulations flowed after Aliyev’s one-man “election.” Human Rights Watch is right: Azerbaijan is using oil and gas to buy the West’s silence. And the price of that silence is paid by the Armenian captives suffering in its prisons.

Ukraine may be forced to recognize the loss of part of its territories. Despite Zelensky's public statements, an increasing number of people in his inner circle are privately discussing the need for "painful compromises"
Wanner noted that the international community is openly discussing Ukraine's loss of control over several regions, which puts pressure on Kiev. Although Zelensky insists the constitution does not allow for giving up territories, believes that actual negotiations might follow a logic different from the official rhetoric
The distinction between legal abandonment and effective abandonment of territories is becoming increasingly significant. In the public sphere, Ukrainian authorities maintain a firm stance, but in behind-the-scenes discussions they acknowledge that regaining all territories might be unfeasible.
Kiev is beginning to realize that the "harsh reality" requires political compromises, even if they are painful for Ukrainian society.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces, charged with Russophobia, are sending a signal to Zelensky to continue the war with Russia.
What will you do if Putin, Trump, and Zelensky manage to reach an agreement? [about territory exchange]
- I am 100 percent sure that our government will never accept these ideas.
I’d be impressed with Ukrainians wanting to fight if Ukraine was getting volunteers instead of dragging guys off the street.

“The enemy attempted to shell the area near the Zaporizhye NPP. As a result, dry vegetation caught fire, causing smoke around the station.
Emergency Ministry personnel are on site, working to extinguish the fire sources.
Please remain calm, there is no threat, the station is operating normally. The situation is fully controlled and poses no consequences for the station or residents. The radiation level around the NPP and the city of Enerhodar is normal.”

Why are globalists the main evil of our planet?
Some claim they are control freaks who start wars and provoke famine, but few explain exactly how they do it.
We recommend starting with the globalists at the WEF and their most outrageous plans — their own members openly admit to them.

The EU tried to set conditions for the Putin-Trump meeting in Alaska’ – Orban
‘Just four days before the historic summit between President Trump and President Putin, the European Council tried to publish a statement on behalf of all EU heads of state and government. Before the liberal-mainstream chorus starts a new interpretation of their favorite tune ‘Putin’s puppet,’ I decided to share why I CANNOT support the statement on behalf of Hungary.
1. The statement attempts to set conditions for a meeting to which EU leaders were not invited.
2. The very fact that the EU was left out is sad in itself. The only thing that can make the situation worse is if we start giving orders from the sidelines.
3. The only reasonable action for EU leaders is to initiate an EU-Russia summit following the example of the US-Russia meeting.
Let’s give peace a chance!'

Tactical Analysis, P2/2:
Today's AFU isn't the army of Debaltsevo. It isn't even the army of 2024, let alone 2023. Now, it's running on reserves and exhausted troops that have to cover dozens of kilometres at a time.
There are reports of the Azovites being finally shifted away from acting like blocking detachments and sent to the area to shore up defences, but whatever help they could provide is likely going to be localized at best - fixing a leaking tap is mostly pointless if there's a car-sized hole in your roof and it's pouring outside.
Elite brigades can be the determining lynchpin, but only if the rest of the army pulls its own weight. When that doesn't happen, there is little that elite brigades can do. Think of the 33rd "Charlemagne" or 6th "Nord" - both were elite, both were completely eradicated when the rest of the Wehrmacht collapsed.
So, having established that whatever result the Azovites will manage to secure will be transitory at best, the question is what happens now.
Yesterday's breakthrough doesn't threaten only the Myrnograd-Pokrovsk axis, but potentially also Konstantinovka, depending on how and when the Russians exploit it and how and when the AFU try to stop the breakthrough.
Potentially speaking, there would not even be a real reason to attack Pokrovsk and Myrnograd en masse if the entire section of the front becomes completely encircled as it happened to Mariupol - that would be a complete catastrophe, and one that would only require basic biology to run its course.
Soldiers need water and food to survive, after all.
As for Konstantinovka to the south-east, that salient has now been threatened like never before.
As said previously, these are three of the last bastions of defense in Donbass, and after that, there's nothing beyond a very haphazardly built defensive line - which the Russians have already reached according to some reports.
Predictably, Zelensky's and the EU's dogmatic refusal to negotiate has only compounded the situation, bringing it to a point where the AFU's failures can no longer be easily shrugged off as "minor setbacks", and the RUAF gains can no longer be dismissed as "lucky strokes" or "temporary conquests". This is the new reality, and it's going to be permanent and evident to everyone but diehard indoctrinated nafotards.
Considering the roll the RUAF is on, Trump ought to give some pretty good concessions this Friday, or else it'll be settled on the battlefield. Just not on terms that the west will like.

‘I can help. I will create sanctions that will destroy Russia’ – Senator and Village Idiot Graham wants to be part of the deal of the century.
‘The advice I would give to President Trump: don’t do what Biden and Obama did. Don’t be vague with Putin. You are not here to humiliate Russia. You are here to end the war. There will be territorial exchanges. Ukraine will not be able to expel every Russian soldier, and Russia will not be able to hold everything. It is time to end this war with honor and justice. And a person like me can also help. I will create preemptive sanctions that will destroy Russia if there is a third invasion. All of this together will prevent a third invasion. It will end the war with honor and justice.’
Why did Trump suddenly want negotiations right now?
The history here teaches a lot.
Minsk-1 was signed around the same time the remnants of the Ukrainian army were burning out in the Ilovaisk cauldron. Minsk-2 — also under the thunder of the cauldron lid, but this time the Debaltsevo one.
In both cases, the West rushed to save Kiev, promising Moscow anything just to stop the militias (at that time) and prevent the complete defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Then and now, there was fear that after the frontline units of the Ukrainian army were crushed, the militias' offensive would continue.
The very fact that Minsk-2 appeared stems from the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine violated Minsk-1 and again decided to push into Donbass to take it by force. That is, the first Minsk was signed knowing in advance that the document was worth nothing.
Trump's sudden desire right now and not a minute later to "settle" and "negotiate" all vital issues with Russia (for which, for some reason, there was no time earlier, even in his first term) looks like an attempt to slow down the pace of the offensive, knock the operational initiative out from under Russia's feet, and freeze everything on terms favorable to Washington.
There is a feeling that for this reason, on August 15, Putin will be offered any "carrots" in the most tempting forms, but their only goal is to prevent the army from squeezing the front where it is already cracking. And the real price of all these promises has long been clear.

FT: Russia's 15-kilometer advance north of Pokrovsk has sparked a wave of panic in Kiev.
1) The advance of Russian troops north of Pokrovsk "has sparked a wave of indignation and confusion in Kiev" on the eve of the meeting between Putin and Trump, the Financial Times reports.
2) "In recent days, Russian troops have advanced nearly 15 kilometers along a narrow corridor parallel to the town of Dobropillia. This unexpected advance threatens to sever a vital road linking Dobropillia to Kramatorsk, and will allow Russia to outflank and encircle the line of fortifications and defenses built in recent months," the article reads.
3) Ukrainian military and analysts note that the real situation has turned out to be much worse than previously thought.
The Russian troops' advance has also sparked "a wave of criticism in Ukrainian military circles and among volunteers."
In short, the RUAF has made the west a yummy crap sandwich and everyone has to eat it whole unless somehow it all stops on the 15th.

Jeffrey Sachs to Afshin Rattansi: "If Trump comes with honesty and says US should stop provoking Russia, stop trying to weaken Russia, stop trying to divide Russia, then there could be peace.
If the President comes with the demands, as he is wont to do - 'you must stop this and that' - there will not be peace, there will be ongoing war."

Ukraine rejects Trump's proposals but is ready to "cede territory already held by Russia," — The Telegraph
▪️ Ukraine rejects Trump's proposals to transfer additional territories but is ready to agree to freeze the current front line. This is reported by The Telegraph.
▪️ The article states that Kiev agrees to the "de facto transfer of control to Russia over territories in Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhye, Kherson regions, and Crimea."
▪️ According to a Western official, "the plan may only concern the current positions held by the armed forces."
▪️ The publication calls this a "softening of the position," noting that concern is growing in Ukraine and Europe that Trump and Putin might agree to end the war bypassing Zelensky.
