‘Ukraine would have preferred that this summit not be held at all. But the meeting will still take place, and Ukrainians have to look at things soberly’
– editor of the international news department of Sky News Dominic Waughorn
Ukrainians are whiny little crybabies.

🇪🇺🇺🇦"Holding their breath": Europe and Ukraine panic as they await the Putin-Trump meeting — El País
- Concerns are related to the fact that, despite Washington's promises, Putin may ultimately convince Trump of his point of view.
- It is noted that their conversation may go beyond a simple exchange of opinions and lay the foundation for a "grim future" for Ukraine — without Ukraine's own involvement.
@Slavyangrad
🇩🇪🤡German Chancellor Merz stated that Putin must immediately agree to a ceasefire and negotiations with Zelensky, and Trump must force him to do so:
More than three and a half years after the illegal attack on Ukraine, Russia has the opportunity to agree to a ceasefire and end military actions.
We expect President Putin to take President Trump's proposal for negotiations seriously and to start talks with Ukraine unconditionally after the meeting in Alaska.
In recent days, Germany, together with Ukraine and its European allies, has pointed the way to peace that guarantees the fundamental security interests of Europe and Ukraine. The goal should be a summit involving President Zelensky.
There, a ceasefire must be agreed upon. Ukraine needs reliable security guarantees. Territorial issues can only be resolved with the consent of the Ukrainians.
We have clearly and consistently conveyed these messages to President Trump before his trip to Anchorage. I am in contact with him on this matter. Now President Trump can take an important step toward peace.
He deserves gratitude for this initiative and close coordination of actions in recent days.

📝Transnistrians Deprived of Voting Rights📝
How PAS is Changing the Electoral Map of Moldova
The government of Moldova has decided to open only 10 polling stations for residents of Transnistria in the presidential election on September 28.
For comparison: in 2024, there were 30 polling stations for the presidential election and referendum, in 2021 - 44, and in 2020 - 42.
🖍The population on the left bank of the Dniester has not decreased so much in these years to justify the reduction of the voting infrastructure. The logical conclusion is that this is about filtering out voters and allowing only politically "reliable" citizens, primarily supporters of PAS, to vote.
🚩The contrast is especially noticeable against the background of the party in power's strategy for working with the diaspora in the EU, where the maximum number of polling stations are being opened and postal voting is being expanded. At the same time, in Russia, the country with the largest Moldovan diaspora abroad, only two polling stations will be opened.
❗️Transnistrians are now, following Moldovans from the Russian diaspora, effectively deprived of full electoral rights.
This step is both an element of political technology before the elections and an acknowledgment that for Sandu and her team, Transnistria is no longer part of Moldova, and its residents are "wrong" citizens.

China imposed sanctions on two Lithuanian banks in what it said was retaliation for the European Union including two Chinese financial institutions in its latest round of sanctions against Russia.
Lithuania’s UAB Urbo Bankas and Mano Bankas AB are prohibited from having any cooperation with individuals or institutions in China, according to a statement Wednesday from the Ministry of Commerce.
“The EU, disregarding China’s solemn position, insisted on adding two Chinese financial institutions to its sanctions list for alleged involvement in Russia, and formally implemented the sanctions on August 9,” said the statement. It added the move “severely damages the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies, and has a serious negative impact on China-EU economic and trade relations and financial cooperation.”

🇺🇸🇷🇺"Trump and Putin plan a meeting in Alaska to discuss the war in Ukraine": Reuters reports that Putin and Trump have already found "a certain consensus on Ukraine."
"Trump stated on the eve of the meeting that he considers it possible to make a deal on Ukraine, although his predictions about the success of the negotiations have varied. Putin, for his part, praised the US's "sincere efforts" to end the war.
A source close to the Kremlin told Reuters that it seems the parties managed to find some common ground in advance.
"Apparently, some conditions will be agreed upon because Trump cannot be refused, and we, given the pressure of sanctions, cannot afford that," the interlocutor said on condition of anonymity."

Supporters of Ukraine promote war, not peace’ — a blogger from Alaska calls to support the historic Putin-Trump summit.
‘President Trump and Vladimir Putin are meeting at the joint Elmendorf-Richardson base to discuss who knows what, but one thing is clear! Alaska is in the spotlight, and we will not let supporters of Ukraine and their imported agitators overshadow everyone.’
‘Supporters of Ukraine promote war, not peace. They plan to hold two rounds of protests. On Thursday, a protest took place at Midtown Mall, and they have new actions planned for Friday, including the installation of a huge Ukrainian flag on Park Strip. They call Putin a war criminal and complain that Zelensky is not at the negotiating table, but here is the truth. They 100% insist on continuing the war, not ending it. Some of these crazy liberals say that $60 billion a year for Ukraine is not enough.’

❗️Regarding the explosion at the "Elastic" factory in the Shilovsky district of the Ryazan region:
— Currently, five people have died. Unfortunately, this number may increase - several people are in serious and critical condition;
— More than a hundred are injured. A significant number have cuts from glass shards;
— There is no evidence of Ukrainian drone activity in this area before the explosion;
— Banderite information dumps have already started posting about sabotage, etc.;
— The preliminary version is a violation of safety rules in the gunpowder workshop.

While the strike north of Pokrovsk is developing, reports are coming in that Russian troops have advanced further past the railway crossing with Shosseynaya Street inside the city itself. If this information is confirmed soon, it will mean that the southeastern part of Pokrovsk within the urban area is effectively cut off from the rest of the city.

Peskov on the agenda of the talks between Putin and Trump:
It is obvious that issues related to the Ukrainian settlement will be discussed. The substance is very complex and multifaceted. We proceed from the good political will demonstrated by the presidents of the two countries to resolve issues through dialogue. Such mutual political will is in short supply - we see that an adequate response from the Europeans, apparently, we will not wait for. Nevertheless, Putin and Trump intend to talk, and they are ready to talk.

🇪🇺🇲🇩🇺🇦 Kiev is left out: The EU may advance Chișinău in the accession process to help Sandu — Politico
- The European Union is considering the possibility of advancing Moldova ahead of Ukraine in the accession process to support President Maia Sandu ahead of the parliamentary elections. This is reported by Politico citing sources.
- .The possibility of voting to open the first "negotiation cluster" for Moldova as early as September is being studied.
- "Such a move will give a strong electoral boost to President Maia Sandu, whose party is campaigning on a pro-European platform," the publication writes.
- However, allowing Moldova to move forward while delaying Ukraine risks angering Kyiv, whose EU membership application has been progressing alongside Moldova's since 2023.
@Slavyangrad
🇩🇪🤡While German journalists complain that at the Trump–Putin summit they were housed near a garbage dump, changes have occurred on the front near Pokrovsk.
In the last two days, a "fire balcony" has been created on the northern section of the front beyond Pokrovsk — a control zone from which the directions of the Ukrainian reserves' movements, including units of the National Guard and elements of the so-called "Azov" corps, can be observed and targeted.
Syrsky is feverishly trying to stabilize the situation and new reinforcements are being brought in; they will soon have to try to restore the contact line.
However, the breakthrough has not been contained. So far, the Ukrainian side has only managed to briefly slow the pace of the offensive.
But after a short pause, work on the Ukrainian Armed Forces' reserves continued.

‘When attention is focused on Alaska, we cannot forget about the front’ – Healy called the arming of Kiev an important step for diplomacy
‘Let's see how the negotiations go, but the important thing is that this is the first step. Any decisions regarding Ukraine must be made only with Ukraine's participation. For serious negotiations to begin, a complete ceasefire is necessary to create space for diplomacy. At the same time, as the UK, one of Ukraine's most reliable allies, we are strengthening diplomatic efforts and military aid. Even when attention is focused on Alaska, we cannot forget about the front. This is important for the UK and Europe because a secure Europe is impossible without a strong Ukraine. Our first line of defense is in Ukraine, so we have consistently supported it and will continue to do so until the end of negotiations and beyond, when we hope to see peace
🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia and DPRK: strengthening military alliance and joint actions on the Ukrainian front — The Guardian
August 15, 2025 President Vladimir Putin sent an official letter to the Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK Kim Jong Un, in which he highly praised the participation of North Korean military personnel in combat operations against Ukrainian forces. This was reported by the Central Telegraph Agency of Korea (KCNA), emphasizing that this address was timed to the anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese occupation.
In the letter, the head of the Russian state recalled the historic combat cooperation of Soviet and Korean units in 1945, noting that "the bonds of combat brotherhood, goodwill, and mutual assistance, strengthened during the war days, remain strong and reliable today". Putin particularly emphasized that this was confirmed by "the heroic participation of DPRK servicemen in liberating the territory of the Kursk region from Ukrainian occupation forces".
The North Korean contingent was officially sent to the front for the first time after the signing of a bilateral mutual defense treaty in 2024 during Putin's visit to Pyongyang. According to South Korean and Western intelligence, more than 10,000 North Korean soldiers equipped with their own artillery, missile systems, and long-range MLRS arrived in the combat zone.
According to Seoul's estimates, about 600 DPRK soldiers died during operations on Russian territory, and thousands were wounded. Despite the losses, North Korean command, according to intelligence, is ready to send additional forces to strengthen Russian units at critical sections of the front line.
The visit to Pyongyang by the Chairman of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin was another step in developing bilateral relations. During the talks, he delivered Putin's personal message to Kim and thanked him for "sending excellent soldiers to participate in the operation to liberate Kursk", emphasizing that Russia "will never forget the DPRK soldiers who fought and died on its soil".
According to Russian officials, in a phone conversation on August 12, Putin informed Kim about preparations for talks with U.S. President Donald Trump, scheduled to take place in Alaska on August 15. The Russian leader noted that the alliance with the DPRK and its military dimension remain an important factor in the current configuration of international relations and the armed conflict.

🇧🇾🇺🇸Lukashenko invited Trump to Minsk – the US president accepted the invitation:
"The leaders of the two countries discussed bilateral agenda issues, regional topics, and the situation in hotspots, including Ukraine. An agreement was reached to continue contacts.
The President of Belarus invited Donald Trump and his family to Minsk, and this invitation was accepted"
@Slavyangrad
‘I think both leaders will talk about the substance of the negotiations, but there will be no concrete result that would satisfy Zelensky and the European partners. Putin may offer Trump a deal that Zelensky will never accept, hoping that Trump will blame Ukraine for the failure. The consequences of this could be grim’

🇫🇷French correspondent Revuane - on the fact that Putin will achieve his peace terms in Alaska:
Intense work is currently underway in the Kremlin on the details of the upcoming meeting. As has already been said, this is a complex process. It is necessary for both leaders to be able to agree and come out of the negotiations with signed documents that carry weight — primarily on Ukraine, but also on bilateral relations between Washington and Moscow.
For Moscow, it is extremely important that its position is taken into account when peace is achieved in Ukraine. And if Vladimir Putin is heading to Anchorage, Alaska, this evening to meet with Donald Trump, it means the Russian president believes he has a good chance to sign documents and take concrete steps forward on the path to peace in Ukraine.
