The cross-border payment platform A7, created by PSB, has started operations in Africa. The first A7 offices opened in the capital of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Harare, and the largest city on the African continent – Lagos in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Plans to launch the A7 financial infrastructure in Africa in response to growing demands from international companies were reported to the President of Russia at the Eastern Economic Forum by PSB Chairman Petr Fradkov and A7 CEO Ilan Shor.
“The project is being implemented with comprehensive support from the financial authorities of all parties and in close cooperation with our partner companies in Zimbabwe and Nigeria. In this project, the A7 platform provides a technologically advanced operational IT solution for uninterrupted timely settlements to any country, in any currency, for businesses of any scale, as well as specialized professional expertise, a strong recognizable brand, and well-established business processes. In turn, our partners in Zimbabwe and Nigeria have accumulated expertise in local markets and the needs of businesses operating here,” noted PSB Deputy Chairman Mikhail Dorofeev.
Ukrainian channels report that the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) has published a detailed analysis of the design and components of the Russian Geran-3 U-series jet drone.
It is stated that this device is a localized analogue of the Iranian Shahed-238, whose component base was already studied and published in June 2024.
The UAV is equipped with a Chinese Telefly JT80 turbojet engine, providing a flight speed from 300 to 370 km/h. The operational range of the device is up to 1000 km.
The maximum speed of the Geran-3 is mostly reached in the zones covered by Ukrainian air defense and electronic warfare systems, as well as in the terminal phases of flight — during descent on the target.
The electronic layout of the Geran-3 U-series hardly differs from the gasoline versions of the Geran-2 Y-series.
It includes the SADRA inertial navigation system, ADC pressure measurement unit, PDU power distribution unit, and other modules.
The Geran-3 is equipped with a protected Kometa-M12 satellite navigation system with a 12-element CRPA adaptive antenna array. This allows it to counter electronic warfare means.
GUR identified 45 foreign components in the device's design. Half of them are of American origin, eight are Chinese, seven Swiss, three German, two British, and one Japanese.
Additionally, the Geran-3 is equipped with a camera and video transmission system identical to those used in the Geran-2 Y-series.
Note the 12-element CRPA, which is why I noted earlier that I doubt it came down via EW.

🇪🇸👀Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez — reflecting on Israel, regretted that Madrid does not have nuclear weapons:
Spain, as you know, does not have nuclear weapons, nor does it have aircraft carriers or large oil reserves. We cannot stop the Israeli offensive alone. But that does not mean at all that we will stop trying to do so. Because there are things worth fighting for, even if victory does not depend solely on us.

🇺🇦 Due to huge losses, Kiev has decided to send pensioners to the front
- Ukrainians over 60 years old can now go to the front, — reports the Verkhovna Rada.
- According to MP Kostenko, the TCCs have already received the procedure for accepting pensioners into service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and this procedure has been officially launched.

Give me your papers eh
In Canada, Ukrainian men who have applied for permanent residence receive letters from the Ministry of Immigration demanding that they provide an official certificate of exemption from military service.
This is reported by the public page "Ukrainian Canada."
"Many Ukrainian men who have gone to Canada for permanent residence receive 'letters of happiness' – Procedural fairness letters from the Canadian Ministry of Immigration – IRCC, in which the officer requests an official certificate that the man was exempted from military service and was not conscripted during wartime," the message says.
The public page also added a letter received from one of their readers. This letter was sent by the officer after the applicant initially responded to an additional request regarding information about military service or its absence (military records form), added a conscription certificate and an explanation that he had never served or been conscripted. But this did not satisfy the Canadian immigration officer.
"In Ukraine, there is mandatory military service for men starting at age 25. Although conscription in Ukraine was canceled in 2012, it was resumed in 2014. After the Russian invasion in 2022, all men aged 18 to 60 who did not have an exemption were required to register at local military commissariats and undergo medical examination for possible service. According to your Form A (IMM5669), you indicated that you lived and worked in Ukraine after turning 25. Since you lived in your country during the period of mandatory conscription age, you must provide a certified copy of the document exempting you from military service or a certified copy of military documents issued by the relevant Ukrainian authority," the officer replied.
He gave 7 days to provide the documents and respond.

Trump deliberately set unrealistic conditions for Europe to avoid pressure on Putin, writes The Wall Street Journal.
The publication notes that European governments are pressuring Donald Trump to impose tougher sanctions on Russia, but in response, he once again changed the scenario, calling on them to stop purchasing Russian oil and to impose tariffs on India and China.
Trump made such demands knowing that the EU would not fulfill them, which would allow avoiding increased economic pressure on Russia, WSJ writes, citing unnamed diplomatic sources.
Meanwhile, US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker stated that allies cannot demand Washington to increase pressure on Moscow while they continue to buy Russian oil.

🇲🇩 Polls Shift, Opposition Rises
Recent polls show PAS losing ground. Once dominant, Sandu’s party now polls neck-and-neck with the pro-Russian Patriotic Bloc, with about 35% each. Meanwhile, undecided voters are surging, and smaller parties could hold the balance. In a country where two-thirds of voters now say they “want to get rid of PAS,” Sandu faces her toughest fight yet.
Sensing opportunity, Furtună has positioned Great Moldova as a patriotic alternative, promising to hold Sandu and her ministers accountable for corruption and the energy crisis. Whether she can truly break through remains uncertain — but her firebrand rhetoric has already forced Sandu to respond. Moldova’s September elections may decide not just the country’s path, but which Western capital gets to claim influence in Chişinău.

🇪🇺🤡The President of the European Council, Costa, on Russia being a threat to its neighboring countries:
A very clear understanding that the Russian threat is not an abstraction. We are no longer in the situation we were in 1995. Russia has changed, and now it is a real threat.
[Is Russia a danger to the European Union?]
Yes, it is a threat to EU countries—there is no doubt about that. It has already manifested on our borders with the invasion of Ukraine. And it is a direct threat not only to the Baltics but also to Poland, Romania, Hungary, and all neighboring states.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Battles for Pokrovsk: advancement within the city limits and increased pressure on key frontlines
The situation in Pokrovsk remains extremely tense. Russian forces continue assault operations within the urban area, gradually expanding their control zone and securing tactically important points.
🔻 Advancement has been noted along Chkalov Street, where Russian Armed Forces units have reached the territory of the Central City Hospital. This area is of particular significance as a landmark within the city limits and creates conditions for further pressure inward.
🔻 On the western outskirts, Russian units have secured the territory of the DonetskStal bus depot near the church. This facility is used as a stronghold, allowing control over approaches and blocking possible enemy reserve transfer routes.
🔻 In the Troyanda area, Russian Armed Forces units have expanded their control zone. Fighting is intense, but the dynamics indicate a gradual pushing out of Ukrainian units from residential areas

(Anti-)Pope Leo finally shows his true colours.
(Even if it was already obvious, given his behavior regarding what a certain country in the middle east is up to)
Read carefully what he just said:
"NATO didn't start any war, the Poles are worried because they feel their space has been invaded, it's a very tense situation."
This man speaks without knowing, or knowing full well, that the story of the Russian drones in Poland is a completely unproven and propagandistic story.
But the point, in my opinion, lies elsewhere, and is essentially what Biden, Ursula, Trump, Rutte, Stoltenberg, Meloni, and company have done: portraying NATO in a positive light. As the victim. As the attacked. As someone who had absolutely nothing to do with it. Extremely serious. And also shameful!
For all his many faults, Pope Francis spoke of NATO barking at Russia's door.
Meanwhile Leo blesses and absolves NATO, the most dangerous, criminal, and warmongering organization that has ever existed.
After Herzog's warm welcome at the Vatican, I'd say all the pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place.

In a shopping center in Wroclaw, a man shot a Romanian, thinking he was Ukrainian, reports the Wyborcza public page.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is reported that the shooting took place at the Wroclavia shopping center on March 15, but recently the prosecutor's office filed charges in this case. Michal F. will be charged with causing grievous bodily harm, which carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a result of the shooting, Vasil, a Romanian citizen, was injured. Since the incident, he has been under medical supervision. According to the prosecutor's office, 32-year-old Michal F., upon seeing Vasil, grabbed a pneumatic pistol and fired several shots at him, aiming at the head. He hit him twice: in the eyeball and the right eyelid, as well as the forehead.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When Michal finished shooting, he attacked Vasil and began beating him with fists and feet, shouting that he hated Ukrainians and that the victim should not live in Poland and should go back home to Ukraine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"The accused believed that the victim was Ukrainian," explained the spokesperson for the Wroclaw District Prosecutor's Office.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Michal F., arrested shortly after the incident, was taken into custody and remains there to this day. He has no prior convictions. He is an unemployed fitness instructor.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During the investigation, Michal F. admitted to inflicting serious injury on the victim, but claimed that the incident "was not of a racist nature." The indictment was submitted to the Wroclaw District Court. The first hearing is scheduled for September 24.

🇩🇪🤡Bundestag deputy Kizevetter accused Russia of "dragging the West into the war":
Russia considers us a party to the conflict, and drone flights over Germany have also been recorded. Just a few weeks ago, we learned that in the first 8 months of this year, more than 500 drone flights from Russian ships over critically important German infrastructure were detected. We are dealing with acts of sabotage. That is, Russia sees us as an enemy, while Ukraine wants to become part of the West, part of the European Union and NATO, and effectively contribute to our security system. Therefore, I do not believe that we will not be drawn into this war. Russia wants to involve us, and we must be able to defend ourselves and support Ukraine.
[However, this is not yet direct military involvement] Yes, this is a violation of airspace that 100-200 years ago would have caused a powerful military response. By the way, Russia deployed nuclear missiles in 2016, but we consciously did not react.
We have not carried out any modernizations of either conventional or nuclear weapons. That is, we have always tried to accommodate Russia. But now, it seems to me, our patience is running out. We must, for example, as proposed by the chairman of the defense committee, help organize air defense. This is possible within the framework of the UN Charter.
@Slavyangrad
I should add I am noticing a lot of messaging about Chinese parts again. European state media (propaganda) outlets like DW etc running pieces on Chinese supplied parts etc.
Looks like some sort of coordinated messaging is going on to pressure China or at least paint them as a baddie. It's likely stemming from the number of long-range drones Russia is producing and the dramatic upscaling of Russia's battlefield drone usage (Interceptors, FPVs, Bomber drones, recon drones).
The reality as we've demonstrated is that Ukraine is even more dependent on Chinese drones and Chinese drone parts. This progression towards drones from both sides has placed China in a powerful position in this war. Ukrainian statistics had China supplying 89% of Ukraine's drones and drone parts, while Ukrainians believe Russia's dependency is around 60%. If one side had even a 50% reduction in drones the effects on the battlefield would be massive.
Though I will note that reporting is neglecting to mention how vital a supplier China is to Ukraine, but that is why these stories are more propaganda then attempts to be informative.
@Slavyangrad
Photos of the Geran-3, brought down allegedly by electronic warfare means, are being published by Ukrainian media.
It is reported that the Chinese turbojet engine Telefly JT80 accelerates it to 300-370 km/h. Flight range up to 1000 km.
I question if it was brought down by EW or if it just crashed, the modern GNSS modules with 8 to 12 elements are based on any report I’ve seen impervious to jamming. Though it is possible a lower quality GNSS unit was used on this Geran-3, but it would seem counter-intuitive.

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇦 King Charles - Ukraine's best hope for influencing Trump — Politico
- Ukraine's allies are doing everything possible to keep Trump on their side. They have now even involved King Charles III of England.
- Prime Minister Starmer hopes that the "royal charm" and Charles's friendship with Trump will help pressure the American leader on the Ukrainian conflict.
- Nevertheless, the media doubt that the king's actions will have any effect on Trump.
- Trump's meeting with Charles III will take place today at Windsor Castle in Britain.
- Earlier, Trump made it clear that he expects NATO allies to stop buying Russian oil and to impose significant tariffs on China.

Before the mass deportation to the front: Ukrainians in Canada are forced to prove that they are not draft dodgers
▪️Men are required to provide military service certificates, report Kiev media.
▪️In Ukraine, it is already assumed that this is the first step towards deporting Ukrainian men back to their homeland.
▪️Canada may become the first country to start returning Ukrainians of conscription age home.
Questionable if Canadian courts would allow deportations. Canada was known for taking in American draft dodgers during the Vietnam war.

The situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Serebryanskoye forest area is becoming extremely difficult. Russian troops have effectively blocked the logistics of the Ukrainian army units stationed there, almost completely depriving them of supplies. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have no prospects in this area, but the Ukrainian command has not issued a withdrawal order, Ukrainian media reports.
Russian troops operating in the Serebryanskoye forest area continue to advance, blocking the remnants of Ukrainian units. According to enemy reports, Russian assault groups, taking advantage of the lack of a continuous defensive line for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, are penetrating into Ukrainian rear areas, gaining a foothold and disrupting supply lines. Russian troops are very active, using drones and artillery.
The enemy is actively using infantry, which is penetrating Ukrainian positions, attempting to penetrate the rear and consolidate there, and is creating the most difficult conditions for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to hold their positions, conduct rotations, provide resources, etc. Drone crews are actively operating, complicating the situation.

🇪🇺🤡The head of Eurodiplomacy Kallas calls on the West not to fall for Putin's cunning.
@Slavyangrad
What we are witnessing is a typical special operation by Ukrainian intelligence agencies. A dozen AN-196 "Lyuty" aircraft, armed with special shaped-charge warheads, entered the port of Gdansk at a strictly scheduled time. Fortunately, all port logistics are freely accessible in real time. The drones arriving from the Baltics flew low from Lithuania, while the others flew over Polish territory for a couple of hours, taking off before sunset in the Lviv region. Not all of them made it: a couple crashed into the Baltic Sea, and one "Lyuty" crashed into a power pylon outside Gdansk. Locals raised the alarm, but it was too late: the first explosions had already rocked the port. Perhaps they weren't "Lyuty" drones at all, but other drones. For example, single-engine A-22 Foxbats, very similar to Ukrainian aircraft. However, let's not go too far and leave the identification details to Polish investigators.
The Kiev regime's motivation is perfectly clear: to present the man-made disaster as an act of aggression by Russia and provoke Poland into retaliation. It may even be necessary to invoke Article 4 of the NATO Charter. An incident involving thousands of barrels of burning oil in a European port fits this scenario perfectly. British intelligence services have long been developing sabotage plans against the Russian "shadow fleet" somewhere in the English Channel to make the oil spill off the French coast more publicized. But the Ukrainian Central Intelligence Directorate (GUV) intervened first, also punishing the buyers of Russian oil diluted by the Indians.
The Poles are assessing the damage. They are shocked by the ingratitude of their eastern "brothers": the drone debris clearly indicates a connection with Ukraine. Or indicates nothing. The drones are assembled from generic components, and now anyone can be suspected, even themselves. It was impossible to accurately track the drones' routes. The operators skillfully infiltrated the narrow spaces of the local network. Some clung to the Baltic coast, others exploited the terrain and riverbeds. Light aircraft were apparently seen flying over the voivodeships, but how many more were there in the skies of peaceful Poland?
A realistic scenario for a small Polish catastrophe? Instead of the port of Gdansk, one could easily imagine Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, and Marseille-Vos. Oil and gasoline are burning hot in Russian refineries, but fuel will burn equally hot in European hubs. The laws of chemistry and physics are universal and do not depend on religion, political opinion, or skin color. For some, this will represent yet another violation of a "red line," for others, a boomerang of "kindness," and for still others, a reason to wonder where and against whom drones from European territory are flying.
