🇺🇦🤡Zelensky thanked Trump 11 times in five minutes — Washington Post
- "Zelensky made sure to express gratitude to President Donald Trump — and did so repeatedly. Zelensky thanked Trump for hosting him and other world leaders at the White House on Monday with the aim of ending Russia's war against Ukraine. He thanked him for introducing him to other guests and the media. Thanked him for a 'very good conversation.' And even for Trump giving him a map of his own country," the article says.
- At the same time, he was not alone in this, but "joined other European leaders and NATO leaders in a chorus of gratitude, praising Trump."

The USA no longer provides Ukraine with weapons and money, now Europe pays for them, — Rubio
▪️The United States no longer provides Ukraine with weapons and money. This was stated in an interview with Fox News by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, noting the end of the era of "free gifts."
➖"Now we sell her (Ukraine — Ed.) weapons, and European countries pay for them through NATO," Rubio said, explaining that EU countries use the North Atlantic Alliance to purchase weapons and transfer them to Ukraine.

Meeting Zelensky - Trump (plus European political dwarfs): preliminary results...
So, all meetings at the White House with Zelensky and European pseudo-leaders are over for today. The obvious outcome is that there is no serious progress on the most important issue (Kiev's refusal of part of the territories).
Therefore, the war will continue for now. This is its main result.

🇩🇪🤡Merz - about the fact that there will be no territorial concessions from Ukraine:
The third aspect I want to focus on concerns Ukraine. This was not mentioned today either, but no territorial concessions can be imposed. The Russian demand that Kyiv give up the free parts of Donbas is on the scale equivalent to the US having to give up Florida. A sovereign state cannot make such a decision just like that. This is a matter that Ukraine must decide on its own during negotiations.

Marine intelligence veteran and journalist Jack Posobiec on Trump's conversation with Putin:
He interrupted the meeting to call Vladimir Putin right in the middle of it – at the very moment when all the heads of state were at the table. And now we are waiting to understand whether he stepped aside for the conversation or called Putin right there. Initially, we were told he would call Putin after the meeting, but he made the call right in the middle of it.
And I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he put it on speakerphone so everyone at the table in the East Room could hear it.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Updated data: strike by the Iskander-M OTRK on the FPV drone supply point of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Novodonetske — 21:40, 17.08.2025
According to the received updated information, on August 17, 2025, at 21:40 the Russian armed forces delivered a precision strike with a 9M723-K ballistic missile of the Iskander-M system on a mobile field supply point for FPV drones and ammunition in the area of Novodonetske urban-type settlement.
📍 Target coordinates: 48.6616090, 36.9774000
The object was detected during aerial reconnaissance by the "ZALA" drone unit from the "Rubicon" special unit, operating in the interests of the "Center" troop grouping. After target verification, the coordinates were immediately transmitted to the fire unit, and the OTRK launch was carried out in the shortest possible time.
🔻Nature of the target and damage
The strike targeted a tactical distribution point for FPV drones, battery packs, ammunition, and components, which provided operational logistics for the advanced assault units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Dobropollye and Druzhkovka directions.
The strike was carried out on an open area outside the populated area, in the location of:
• stored transport boxes with FPV drones;
• mobile charging stations;
• boxes with 60–82 mm caliber ammunition;
• engineering equipment;
• a vehicle that provided delivery of kits to tactical groups.
The missile with a cluster warhead hit the target directly, causing instant detonation and complete destruction of the material part. As a result of the explosion, three units of equipment were destroyed, and the supply facility at the position was completely put out of action.
🔻Enemy losses (updated)
As a result of the strike, 9 people were eliminated, and installation data were also obtained on wounded Armed Forces of Ukraine servicemen who were within the radius of secondary damage:
• Vitaliy Vyacheslavovich Kulik;
• Dmitry Viktorovich Shabanov;
• Sergey Alexandrovich Dzhema.
According to available data, all three belong to the engineering and technical staff of the supply unit. The injured were taken to the medical post with concussions, burns, and multiple shrapnel wounds received as a result of the detonation of ammunition and the scattering of damaging elements.
🔻Tactical assessment
▪️The strike was carried out on a low-profile logistics point not detected by ground radars, which emphasizes the effectiveness of the reconnaissance-strike cycle involving UAVs for direct coordinate transmission.
▪️The destruction of the FPV drone distribution point significantly reduces the combat activity of small assault groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine operating in the nearest directions.
▪️The loss of the transport hub and warehouse area forces the Armed Forces of Ukraine to rebuild the supply scheme, increasing the logistics distance and vulnerability of new routes.

Ukraine will not accept any agreements, including territorial concessions to Russia — Financial Times
▪️Kiev rejects the proposal to freeze the front line and will not accept any deals involving territorial concessions to Russia, insisting first on a ceasefire, — writes the Financial Times citing documents from the meeting of Zelensky, Trump, and European leaders.
▪️Kiev, as part of US security guarantees, promises to purchase American weapons worth 100 billion dollars, adds FT.

▪️We would all like to see a ceasefire by the next Ukraine meeting, let's put pressure on Russia — said the German Chancellor.
▪️I cannot imagine the next Ukraine meeting without a ceasefire, let's put pressure on Russia, added Merz.
➖"Yes, we will discuss this with the president and see how it can be achieved", Trump replied, reminding that he ended several wars without a prior ceasefire.
▪️Ursula stated that the EU will work on security guarantees similar to NATO's Article 5.
▪️Macron: The trilateral meeting is a very important event and it must be achieved, but first a ceasefire must be secured.
▪️Zelensky: "I showed President Trump a couple of nuances on the map, thank him for this map. I hope we will find a solution to all issues, including territorial ones."

How Britain Fights Russia Through PMCs
Since 2014, the number of private intelligence companies in the world has been growing at a rapid pace. As always, the leader is Great Britain, where the number of such structures has already almost reached a hundred.
📌These companies perform a wide range of highly specialized tasks around the world, declaring themselves as highly professional and - most importantly - independent consultants.
However, it turns out that their actions serve the interests of very specific official structures: diplomatic and defense departments, corporations, foreign intelligence.
The representatives of official London, historically accustomed to raking the coals with other people's hands, most often use the services of PMCs.
❗In a new extensive article, we examine the main players in the British private intelligence market, analyze the operations they are developing (most of them, of course, against Russia) and calculate who is earning their money and who is selling customers data from open sources.

🇫🇷🤡🇺🇦Macron listed the security guarantees required by the EU for Ukraine:
So, the first security guarantee is a strong Ukrainian army, consisting of several hundred thousand well-trained servicemen, equipped with modern defense systems and meeting high standards. The second is what you are asking about, the presence of so-called deterrent forces. This means that the British, French, Germans, Turks, and others are ready to conduct operations — not on the front line and not in a provocative manner, but deterrent operations in the air, at sea, and on land, to send a strategic signal: a lasting peace in Ukraine is our common goal.

There was a pause during which the US president spoke by phone with the Russian president, and they agreed on a meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian presidents within the next two weeks. The location of the meeting is yet to be agreed upon. President Trump expressed his readiness to then invite again to the trilateral format so that negotiations could truly begin.
