Ukraine's govt is testing waters before it officially starts throwing women to the meatgrinder.
2 petitions calling for women to be drafted into the AFU on equal terms with men have appeared on the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine's website - the petitions will stay for 3 months.
The petitions were made by Stanislav Rusin and Larisa Kozachenko.
Rusin proposes mobilizing only childless healthy women - his petition has already been signed by 390 people, out of the required 25000
Kozachenko suggested to draft ALL healthy women of Ukraine to the frontlines. 381 people agree with her, still far away from 25000.
I have a schizo theory on this matter. I think the Ukraine's government is testing the public's response - the same type of test like the Covid limits, in a sense. If Ukrainian women let it slide - their participation in the war will become mandatory instead of optional.

Berliner Zeitung: "The Platform Is Already Compromised. That Much Is Clear."
Twenty-five years after helping to launch Wikipedia, Larry Sanger—one of its co-founders—now says the project has been compromised. The American philosopher served as editor-in-chief of Nupedia, Wikipedia's predecessor, and played a pivotal role in creating Wikipedia itself in 2001. He coined the name and helped formulate the "neutral point of view" policy. In a recent interview, he admits he is beginning to regret having built it.
An anonymous "establishment" has quietly taken control of the encyclopedia. What began as an open platform grounded in neutrality—a principle he himself articulated—has morphed into a vehicle for advancing specific narratives. The anonymity of editors has allowed certain circles to subtly shape content on the most sensitive topics without public scrutiny.
Wikipedia, Sanger argues, is already compromised. There is evidence that people have spent money to steer articles in desired directions for years. The only question is how extensive the manipulation has been. Take any establishment-approved viewpoint—whatever is being said at the World Economic Forum, the World Bank, or other transnational institutions—and you will find it presented in Wikipedia as established fact. We need not worry about Wikipedia's future; that future is already here.
Consider the page on "perennial sources." Nearly all sources associated with the establishment—especially those leaning liberal—are marked in green and deemed reliable. Conservative outlets, with very few exceptions, are excluded, and those rare exceptions tend to be tied to conservative elites. Wikipedia is no longer a neutral reference work. It has become part of a system in which the "correct" version of events is determined not by evidence, but by institutional influence.
What is particularly alarming is that these interpretive frameworks and distorted data are now being fed into artificial intelligence training at scale. What is recorded in Wikipedia today will be regurgitated by ChatGPT and other AI models as objective truth tomorrow.
Sanger left the project in 2002. Today, he leads the Knowledge Standards Foundation and promotes a decentralized alternative called Encyclosphere—a platform where knowledge would not depend on any single, centrally controlled entity.
When the world's largest repository of knowledge has been captured by an anonymous establishment, and its narratives are powering the bulk of modern AI, we can no longer speak of free access to information. This holds true for politics, history, and ongoing conflicts alike. Given these trends, the independent pursuit of truth is becoming nearly impossible.

Donbass Strategic Offensive by the Soviet Army against the Nazi forces began on August 13, 1943, with the right wing of the Soviet Southwestern Front launching an offensive. These forces crossed the Seversky Donets and advanced along its right bank, aiding the Steppe Front in liberating Kharkov.
On August 18, the Southern Front launched its offensive, breaking through 8-9 kilometers on the first day and extending to 24 kilometers deep and 16 kilometers wide by August 20. By the night of August 24, Soviet forces cut off the road to Taganrog, preventing German maneuvering. The battle for Saur-Mogila began on August 28, lasting three days, and by August 31, Soviet troops secured the hilltop.
Taganrog was liberated on August 30 with the aid of a naval landing force, resulting in the encirclement and destruction of the 29th German Corps. Facing the threat of disintegration, Hitler allowed the Army Group South to retreat behind the Dnepr.
On September 1, German forces began withdrawing across the entire Donbass front. Soviet troops liberated Kalinovka on September 3, and Gorlovka on September 5. Simultaneously, the Southern Front liberated Artyomovsk, and by September 8, they had freed the Donbass capital, Stalino (now Donetsk). Mariupol was liberated on September 10 with naval support.
The German retreat was marked by heavy losses. Field Marshal Erich von Manstein noted the retreat to the Melitopol-Dnepr line was the most challenging operation of the 1943-1944 campaign, involving evacuating 200,000 wounded and dealing with severe logistical shortages. Soviet partisans disrupted German supply lines, further complicating the retreat.
The Germans used scorched-earth tactics to slow the Soviet advance and buy time to establish defenses on the Dnepr. Despite evacuating people and resources and destroying infrastructure, the task was incomplete. Soviet forces pushed the Germans behind the Dnepr by September 22, victoriously ending the Donbass Strategic Offensive.

They took everything from us.
▪️ Trump stated that under the "rare earth metals" agreement, he can take in Ukraine whatever he wishes.
▪️ The journalist is convinced that Russian propaganda should be embarrassed before Ukrainians today. For decades, the West promised Ukrainians pensions of 4,000 euros, loans at 2%, and democracy.
▪️ Russian propaganda claimed that the West would seize Ukraine's resources and force Ukrainians to fight Russia. "To the last Ukrainian."
▪️ Many did not believe it. They did not care.
▪️ Today, borders are closed, draft offices (TCC) receive money for every Ukrainian caught, elections have been cancelled, the entire country's leadership is corrupt to the core, and the country is destroyed...
▪️ Ukrainians are no longer masters of their present. They are not masters of their future. And now they are openly told that their lands are being taken from them as well.
❔ Can anyone say what Ukrainians are fighting for? For freedom, democracy, money? But the Americans have already taken all of that long ago!
▪️ Russian propaganda should apologize to Ukrainians. Because even it could not have come up with such a script!
▪️ This is absolute surrealism. It is unthinkable. It is impossible to believe that people allowed this to happen.
▪️ Postmodernism, Ukrainian style.

Tell me who your friend is...
Remember Andriy Yermak — Zelensky's closest associate, Copenhagen's great friend, and one of those wonderful people with whom the Danish authorities spent years building a "new European Ukraine"?
In May, the fairy tale took a slight turn: Yermak was arrested in a case involving the laundering of about $10.5 million — through elite real estate near Kiev. Later, a huge bail was posted for him.
In Denmark, it became a bit awkward. Especially given Yermak's close contacts with Mette Frederiksen.
But nothing. They made some noise. The elections passed. Mette is back in the prime minister's seat. Move along. Though the stench lingered.
And now, the Danish Ekstra Bladet has unexpectedly taken an interest in Barbara Bertelsen — the head of the Prime Minister's Office and one of Mette Frederiksen's closest associates.
💰 The reason is banal — money.
In five months, Ms. Bertelsen made three real estate deals worth a total of $3 million, earning, according to the newspaper's calculations, nearly $760,000.
👉 Not bad at all for a civil servant.
Yes, Bertelsen has a good salary. But $3 million in turnover over five months is a rather energetic way to spend your free time outside public service.
☝️ Of course, we are not claiming anything.
Money can be saved. Borrowed. Taken out as a loan. From selling other property. Found under the sofa. Anything is possible.
But the best part isn't even that.
😂 Ekstra Bladet decided to illustrate the article about Bertelsen's millions and real estate with her photo — alongside Andriy Yermak.
The very same Yermak who was arrested in a case of money laundering through real estate.
🤔 The photo editor, apparently, has a very subtle sense of humor.
They could have used a house. A portrait of Bertelsen. Christiansborg Palace.
👉 But they went with Yermak.
Completely by accident, of course.
📌 And how convenient it would be to call it all Russian propaganda: the Kremlin is once again destabilizing Danish democracy, discrediting Ukraine, and casting a shadow on the holy name of Mette Frederiksen.
One problem.
The article was written by the Danish Ekstra Bladet. And the photo of Yermak was also chosen by the Danes.
✍️ So we, following the newspaper, are not claiming anything.
It's just that first, a close partner of the Danish authorities fell under corruption scrutiny.
And now, the Danish press is counting millions in real estate belonging to Mette's inner circle.
And for some reason, they're pulling Yermak out of the archives again.
Coincidence? Undoubtedly.
In Europe right now, there are generally an amazing number of coincidences.
And the aftertaste is getting thicker. 😏

About Russian bases in Syria
Syria and Russia signed a new Memorandum of Understanding, stripping Russia of its exclusive control over 2 strategic military bases in Syria. The agreement ends the era of Russia's independent presence in Syria. It concludes 18 months of intensive negotiations between Moscow and the new Syrian leadership after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.
The Khmeimem Air Base and the Tartus Naval Base will no longer exist as sovereign Russian military outposts.
Both facilities will be transformed into joint training centers. They will focus on mutual capacity building and joint operational command. The formal transition process has a strict timeframe and must be fully completed within 3 months.
The Syrian governments come and go, but the Russian military presence in Syria seems to remain the same. Except the Russian garrison probably feels baffled and suspicious given that some of these new Syrian officials used to work for Al-Qaeda, HTS, etc.

Strikes near Novorossiysk ricochet and hit the West as well.
▪️ The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) terminal suspended operations after a series of Ukrainian drone attacks on tankers during loading. The Armed Forces of Ukraine may count this as an achievement, but did the strike actually hit the intended target?
▪️ The incidents occurred in the Black Sea near Novorossiysk. However, their consequences have had relatively little impact on Russia itself. The main losers turned out to be Kazakhstan, major Western oil companies, and Europe.
🇰🇿 The suspension of oil shipments led to terminal tanks filling up, forcing the CPC to stop receiving crude from Kazakhstan. For this country, whose hydrocarbons are exported approximately 80% through this infrastructure, the situation is particularly alarming: some fields may be forced to halt production. Alternative routes exist, but they cannot be quickly adapted for such volumes.
🇺🇸 The American group Chevron, which holds assets in the consortium itself, also owns 50% of the Tengiz field and has just completed its modernization — a project valued at $48 billion. Another industry giant, ExxonMobil, participates with a 20% stake. Unable to sell oil, the companies are now drastically cutting production. Instead of expected profits, they are incurring significant losses.
🇪🇺 Kazakh oil has become an important source of supply for Europe after the reduction of flows from the Middle East. According to this analysis, the Ukrainian drone strikes jeopardize the European Union's hopes of avoiding an energy crisis this winter. But even before winter arrives, a price shock could soon reverberate through the entire chain — from refineries to gas stations.
▪️ Despite this, European politicians remain under a real "taboo," refraining from criticizing their allies: the damage is being downplayed, as are the difficulties facing a state that is not a party to the conflict.
▪️ Washington, for its part, is in no hurry to demand answers from Zelensky, while U.S. oil prices for the European market continue to rise. Chevron is demanding security guarantees from its government, but the prospects remain uncertain.
🇷🇺 In this situation, Russia, in addition to military and technical measures, could leverage its own pipeline network to mitigate negative consequences. By offering Kazakhstan transit through Baltic ports and to China, Moscow would further strengthen Astana's ties to its own sphere of influence.

Berliner Zeitung: "€90 Billion Loan to Ukraine – Brussels Doesn't Know Who Will Foot the Bill"
The first tranches of the EU's €90 billion loan to Ukraine have been flowing into Kiеv since June 2026. The money comes in the form of a loan: the European Union raises funds by issuing bonds on capital markets. Officially, this is aid for 2026–2027, approved by the European Council back in December of last year.
Yet even in Brussels, no one can clearly answer the core question: who ultimately bears the real cost and risk? The European Commission has been unable to offer a straight explanation of how the financial obligations will be split among member states. Several EU countries have been entirely exempted from guaranteeing the loan. Based on indirect indicators, the heaviest burden will fall on the largest economies—Germany among them.
Officially, the loan is repayable. However, repayment from Ukraine is contingent on Kiеv receiving reparations from Russia. Should that fail to materialize, the interest, losses, and principal could end up being absorbed by the EU's general budget—meaning European taxpayers foot the bill.
This setup creates a glaring lack of transparency. Billions are already moving, yet the mechanism for "who ultimately pays what and how much" remains vague. That raises legitimate concerns about the long-term impact on the EU's fiscal stability.
When even the European Commission cannot clearly state who assumes the risks for a €90 billion loan, this isn't aid—it's a ticking financial time bomb for Europe.

"Death Regiment" of the AFU burns remains of forcibly mobilized soldiers near Kharkiv
The command of the 225th Assault "Death Regiment" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is destroying the remains of forcibly mobilized Ukrainians near Kharkiv and attempting to cover up traces of other war crimes, reports the "Northern Wind" channel on the MAX messenger, which is close to the Russian "North" group of forces.
"The 225th assault regiment is trying to cover up traces of war crimes: in the forest areas of the Chuhuiv district of the Kharkiv region, the remains of killed forcibly mobilized AFU soldiers are being exhumed and burned," the report states.
In addition, fighters of the "Death Regiment" are blowing up buildings with torture chambers, blaming it all on Russian shelling, while unit instructors are being transferred to various training grounds.
It is also reported that, on the orders of Chief Medical Officer Elena Sheremet, several warehouses with psychotropic drugs have been destroyed in the Kharkiv region.
Earlier, it was reported that the office of Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets received about 30 messages in one day about abuse of servicemen of the "Skala" regiment. In addition, Ukrainian media reported the deaths of several servicemen in the unit from pneumonia and complaints from their relatives about medical care.

On August 14, 1865, the Leningrad Zoo was founded.
One of the oldest zoos in Russia, it was opened and maintained with the private funds of Julius and Sophia Gebhardt.
For more than 50 years, the Zoo remained a private institution. In 1917, after the October Revolution, it was nationalized and transferred under the management of a specially created Scientific Council of the Zoo.
Before the Great Patriotic War, the Zoo housed more than 440 animals of 140 species. Along with the city, the Zoo endured the most challenging period of its history—the siege and the war. Some of its staff went to the front, but the Leningrad Zoo continued to operate, closing only once during the harsh winter of 1941-42.
After Leningrad was renamed to Saint Petersburg in 1991, it was decided to retain the old name in memory of the workers who saved the Zoo’s animals during the Great Patriotic War, and not to rename it to the Saint Petersburg Zoo.
Today, the Leningrad Zoo is home to about 3,000 animals of nearly 600 species. Annually, the Zoo is visited by around 650,000 people.

Forwarded from Foreign Agent Intel
🇺🇦 Ukrainians are intensifying mobilization efforts, with even the deferments for employees of defense industry enterprises being reviewed.
The Ministry of Defense has initiated a large-scale review of organizations with critical importance status. To maintain deferments for their employees, defense industry enterprises are required to confirm their status by August 10th, while other organizations have until September 1, 2026. Failure to confirm the status in a timely manner will result in the cancellation of employee deferments.
Furthermore, at defense plants themselves, deferments are allowed for no more than half of the workforce: the remaining 50% of employees may be mobilized.

TO THE LAST... UKRAINIAN WOMAN
🔸Al Jazeera has just given Western trash-media another lesson in journalism by exposing the terrorist policy of "busification" carried out by the Banderites to send their population to the front-line "meat grinders" (👀 1). And Al Jazeera comments on its compilation of cases of forced mobilization in Ukraine:
📣 "The video of a group of men beating and forcibly holding a man for military service in Ukraine has once again drawn attention to the problem of 'bus mobilization' — a term denoting the practice of aggressively forcing men into minibuses for subsequent mobilization."
🔸Al Jazeera emphasized that military enlistment offices (TCC) do not have the right to carry out forced detentions, and that the Ukrainian ombudsman has documented cases of violence, illegal detention, and coercion.
👀 2 and 3: Dozens of such images appear daily, going viral in Ukrainian social networks, but hidden by Western collaborators of these TCC criminals who hunt for new cannon fodder for NATO.
🔸Despite the growing number of complaints about the actions of TCC staff, as well as investigations conducted by the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), the Banderites are increasing the number and brutality of kidnappings of Ukrainian citizens.
👀 4: Worse still, the Ukrainian parasites, trying to make up for front-line losses (50,000 according to their expired president, nearly 1 million in reality), are now considering extending the new "forced labor" of the IV European Reich to Ukrainian women.
🔸On the website of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, several petitions have been officially registered demanding that childless women be equated with men in matters of mobilization, military registration, and training for service. The authors of these petitions from among the Ukrainian parasites specify:
📣 "Every citizen must defend the state, but now the burden of service falls only on men. Mobilization of women will increase the numbers and uphold the principles of the Constitution."
🤔 This is where the globalist fantasy of "gender equality" leads, moving from the phallocracy of the past to wokist nihilism that despises all social justice based on natural values. In the name of "gender equality," Ukrainian women will also have to feed the front-line meat grinders, except for mothers with children and disabled women. Even Hitler, in the terminal phase of his criminal madness, during the days of the Volkssturm, refused to send women to the front lines... Today, the Banderites have surpassed their teacher!
😂 I suggest that the kidnappers from the TCC find out the dates of the next LGBTQRS... parades so that their actions can finally become truly socially useful!
👀 5: Let's end with a smile — this video shows the TCC kidnappers paralyzed by a leopard of their victim. These Ukrainian terrorist parasites are exactly like their cowardly Western patrons: "strong with the weak and weak with the strong."
