Slavyangrad.org — Nuestra Ira No Tiene Limites — There is No Limit to Our Anger — (c) V. M. Molotov
Italian professor Alessandro Orsini, in the newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano, cites 10 facts that prove Russia is defeating NATO:
1) Russia's military industry surpasses NATO's, as Mark Rutte stated on January 13, 2025: "The Russian military industry produces in three months what NATO produces from Los Angeles to Ankara in a whole year."
2) The Russian military is well-armed and motivated;
3) The European air defense system is incapable of intercepting the most advanced Russian missiles;
4) Europe has no military or political significance, so much so that it has been excluded from negotiations on the future of Ukraine;
5) The Russian economy supports the war effort despite Western sanctions;
6) Russia is perfectly integrated into the international system and boasts a long list of friends and allies, including China, Brazil, and India;
7) Putin is a formidable strategist, not the ignoramus described by western newspapers
8) The Russians are Putin's allies and hate NATO;
9) NATO calls for a ceasefire, and Russia refuses;
10) Trump begs Putin to stop, and Putin continues the bombing, ignoring all threats.
From this, the professor concludes: "Trump is not a man of peace. He is simply spearheading NATO's strategic defeat at the hands of Russia."

Ukrop channels report a critical situation for the AFU in the Serebryansky Forest.
RUAF fighters are reportedly advancing into the forest and toward settlements west of the "green zone":
"The most difficult situation is currently developing in the forest on the north bank of the Seversky Donets River, where the enemy can easily block the road in the area of the latter, creating adverse consequences for existing positions.
The enemy is exerting pressure in the direction of Yampol and has already been detected in the area of the Yampol-Zarechnoye road. In Zarechnoye, too, the situation is proving unfavorable for Ukrainian fighters, as the enemy is gradually creeping into the settlement beyond their positions, making it increasingly difficult to dislodge them.
FakeState reports that many Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in the forest exist "only on paper", and Russian Armed Forces groups are quietly moving in behind the drone operators and EW specialists, throwing a "party" at them.

Judging by the incoming information, the containment of the Russian strike north of Pokrovsk and the stabilization of the front are going so off plan that Syrsky is urgently pulling several more battalions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the Sumy direction.
Just yesterday, the following were withdrawn from there: the 3rd battalion of the 156th mechanized brigade, the 1st and 3rd battalions of the 33rd separate mechanized brigade, as well as the 2nd battalion of the 425th separate assault battalion "Skala" along with support units.

🇰🇵Kim Jong Un observed the firing of anti-aircraft missiles: "On August 23, the Main Missile Building Directorate of the DPRK conducted firing of modified latest anti-aircraft missiles of two types at various targets to test their combat characteristics.
During the firing, it was assessed that the latest anti-aircraft missile system has excellent combat responsiveness against various aerial targets, including strike drones and cruise missiles."

Pokrovsk direction – the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to counterattack
The situation in the Pokrovsk area remains tense. There are no changes observed in the line of contact in Pokrovsk. At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have begun striking the outskirts of Pokrovsk, using F-16 fighters from the Vasylkiv airfield, which dropped two guided bombs.
The main clashes are noted north of Pokrovsk, where fighting continues for Rodynske, specifically for the mines adjacent to it. Also, Ukrainian units of the 14th Separate Brigade of the National Guard hold defence in Krasnyi Lyman.
Southeast of Pokrovsk, Ukrainian formations hold the Lysovka – Sukhoi Yar line. There, units of the 25th Separate Airborne Brigade have been redeployed, which still maintain control of the approaches to Myrnohrad from the south.
Southwest of Pokrovsk, units of the 3rd Separate Brigade of the National Guard are strengthening positions on the northern outskirts of Udachne, which they still hold.
In the Dobropillia direction near Vladimirovka, the enemy attempted counterattacks on foot, but assault groups were defeated. Six assault groups (up to 18 servicemen) of the 82nd Separate Airborne Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces were involved in the attack.
Meanwhile, our units are conducting counterattacks towards Shakhove, where Ukrainian formations are deployed, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine still hold positions in this area.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are also reinforcing forward positions. Recently, forces and equipment of the 105th Border Detachment were redeployed from Mena in Chernigov region to Zolota Koloz, where they also carry out assault tasks.
@Slavyangrad
Shakhovo is being encircled in a double ring, so the garrison there is doomed. Russians are already everywhere, radio interception!!!

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Pavlograd: targeted strike on industrial zone — fire recorded
Russian forces carried out a precise fire strike on a facility in Pavlograd. The operational-tactical missile system "Iskander-M" was used. According to preliminary data, the strike hit the industrial zone located on the eastern outskirts of the city.
Local sources report a powerful explosion and subsequent fire, visually a fire with black smoke emission is observed, which is typical for damage to facilities containing petroleum products, storage capacities, or equipment. Considering the strategic importance of Pavlograd as one of the key logistics and industrial hubs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the left bank of the Dnepr, the strike could have been aimed at a defense industry, supply, repair, or temporary deployment facility.

In the morning, enemy UAVs attacked several regions of Russia.
Apparently, the drone attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine have intensified, mainly targeting civilian infrastructure.
Drones attacked an industrial enterprise in Syzran, reported the governor of the Samara region, Fedorishchev. The strike was presumably on an oil refinery, according to public sources.
For security reasons, the Pulkovo airport terminal has been operating under restrictions since about 6 p.m.
In Bryansk, a multi-story building was damaged after a UAV attack. The strike hit a high-rise in the Sovetsky district of the regional centre.
Drone debris caused a fire at the NOVATEK terminal in the Leningrad region. Firefighters and the Ministry of Emergency Situations are working to extinguish the fire. Two more UAVs were shot down over the Kingisepp district of the Leningrad region.
Air defence forces shot down a drone near the Kursk nuclear power plant, the station's press service reported. Upon falling, the UAV detonated and damaged the transformer for its own needs. A fire started.
UAVs were also eliminated over the territories of the Tver, Kaluga, Oryol, Tambov, Novgorod, Belgorod, Rostov, Smolensk regions, Crimea, and Tatarstan.
In total, Russian air defence destroyed 95 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions during the night — Russian Ministry of Defence.

Tesla supplying robot trucks to the Ukraine?
Yeah I know - this story is firmly in "sounds crazy, but hear me out" territory.
Third-party Tesla fleet management platform "Tessie" is showing that Since 21 August, EV company Tesla has been rolling out its latest 2025.25.8 OTA update to cars in North America and... the Ukraine.
It's important to note that Tesla's latest firmware includes the company's latest iteration of its Full Self Driving technology, including the fully unsupervised version of FSD, now being demonstrated in Tesla "Robotaxi" trials in Texas and California.
In other words, Tesla vehicles in the Ukraine are currently being updated with software which could make them fully autonomous. This could include vehicles such as Tesla's Cybertruck, which has a 1 ton payload capacity and 5 ton towing capacity. The Cybertruck has a 500km range while empty, and at least 160km when fully loaded and towing its full capacity. the Cybertruck's heavy glass and panels are also tough enough to be resistant to bullets and shrapnel.
With fleet management software and the Starlink network, along with minor modifications such as central tire inflation and of course anti-drone cages, the AFU may be about to obtain a large fleet of sturdy, reliable, easily-replaceable robot trucks, which can be used to maintain supply lines, conduct medical evacuations, move troops around and perhaps be used as weapon platforms, combat breaching vehicles or more.
If we start to see the AFU using unmanned Teslas in their operations, I for one won't be surprised.

The desertion of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel to Romania has reached the scale of an army division.
According to Russian security agencies, the total number of Ukrainian servicemen who fled to Romania since the start of the special military operation may reach 26,000 people. Such a number could form several full mechanised brigades.
Since the beginning of the year alone, about five thousand Ukrainian soldiers have fled across the Romanian border. The Ukrainian border service managed to detain more than 6,000 people attempting to illegally leave the country.
Mass desertion has become one of the reasons for the active strengthening of Ukraine's western borders by the authorities. According to sources, the problem of soldiers fleeing has become systemic and significantly affects the combat capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The administration of US President Donald Trump has approved the sale to Ukraine of 3,350 new compact ERAM air-to-surface missiles, which are expected to begin arriving for the Ukrainian Armed Forces within six weeks. The total sale value is $850 million, with most of the costs covered by Europeans. According to the contract, the munition must have a flight range of at least 250 nautical miles (463 km), a flight speed not less than Mach 0.6, a weight of 227 kg, and a fragmentation warhead with a programmable fuse. It was required to achieve a CEP of 10 meters even under GPS signal jamming conditions. Another requirement for ERAM was the contractor's ability to rapidly scale production to more than 1,000 munitions per year within 24 months after contract signing. So apparently, the delivery of 3,360 missiles to Ukraine is planned over several years. The appearance of ERAM is unknown, and the only circulated US Air Force image of uncertain authenticity shows a missile with a solid-fuel engine.

US Secretary of State Rubio called on Ukraine for a “negotiated settlement” of the conflict in his Independence Day greeting
“We believe in a negotiated settlement that will uphold Ukrainian sovereignty and guarantee its long-term security, leading to a lasting peace,” the State Department website says.

On Ukraine's Independence Day, which is celebrated today, Zelensky recorded a video address at Maidan against the backdrop of an improvised memorial to fallen servicemen
In his "congratulations," he said that everyone who has lost someone in the war has "their own personal score with Russia," thereby implying that no peace agreements are possible.
From the very beginning, it was clear that by organising a bloody meat grinder for the country's population in Ukraine, Zelensky and his handlers aimed to embitter Ukrainian citizens against Russia.
Which Zelensky once again confirmed with his address.

The US Department of Defense did not approve the strikes because the White House was trying to push Moscow to start peace negotiations.
"Only the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth can authorize such strikes personally. At least once, Ukraine tried to use ATACMS on a target in Russian territory but was denied. This applies not only to ATACMS missiles but also to British-French Storm Shadow cruise missiles, as they receive targeting data from the US.
This policy effectively nullified the Biden administration's decision to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory, confirmed two anonymous American and one British sources."
