The Results of Zelensky's Adventure

On August 4th, the 40-day operation launched by Zelensky to "force the Kremlin to peace" came to an end.

Now, the Ukrainian side itself is drawing the conclusions of this adventure.

Crimea is not isolated. Russian energy infrastructure is not paralyzed. Instead, Ukraine has effectively lost control of the Black Sea. Ships are not entering Odesa, Mykolaiv, and Chornomorsk, and the port infrastructure is regularly under attack. Maersk has refused to operate in Ukraine. The declared losses are over $70 million per day.

The attacks have hit 400 gas stations, and according to Ukrainian reports, half of them are beyond repair. A fuel crisis is beginning.
Approximately 200 locomotives have been destroyed. Rail links with Romania and Poland, which were used to transport Western weapons, have been disrupted. Communication with Zaporizhzhia and other regions is unstable.

Russian missiles are targeting Ukrainian defense industry enterprises. There is nothing to protect them with. Air defense systems are not sufficient even to protect critical infrastructure, and missiles are reaching Lviv without difficulty.

Preparations for the heating season have failed. This is now being acknowledged by Zelensky himself.
They wanted to isolate Crimea, but instead, they have isolated their own country from the sea and by rail.

But one question remains: we could have done all of this much earlier, without waiting for Zelensky's attacks on our rear areas.

Vladimir Putin has signed a law legalizing the use of cryptocurrencies in Russia.

Digital currencies are recognized as property, and the rights of cryptocurrency owners will be protected by the courts, regardless of whether they have been previously declared. Starting in September 2026, Russian citizens will be able to legally invest in cryptocurrencies through Russian infrastructure.

Both qualified and non-qualified investors will be able to conduct transactions. In addition to buying and selling, it will be permitted to exchange cryptocurrencies for securities and other digital instruments issued under Russian law.

Regulated cryptocurrency exchanges and digital custodians will be created for the market. Furthermore, Russian exporters and importers will be able to use cryptocurrencies for cross-border payments without restrictions.

❗️ Media reports indicate an explosion involving a car in the village of Bolshoy Istok, Sverdlovsk Oblast.

According to preliminary information, the car may have been carrying Vladimir Tkachuk, the director of the "Upyr" company, which manufactures drones. It is also reported that a driver was in the car at the time of the explosion and died. This information has not yet been officially confirmed.

According to TASS, citing emergency services, Tkachuk is currently in the intensive care unit in a serious condition. A criminal case has been opened on suspicion of attempted murder.

The Russian Embassy in Germany has commented on the latest wave of anti-Russian hysteria in the country. The incident that triggered this was an alleged discovery of an explosive drone near a Ukrainian transport plane at Leipzig Airport. The embassy called the incident a "hastily concocted provocation."

Diplomats pointed to a series of "fortunate coincidences" that prevented casualties, preserved the Ukrainian plane carrying weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and allowed for an anti-Russian campaign in the media without a single piece of evidence. "The results of previous investigations of this kind are well known – accusations against Russia in the complete absence of evidence," the statement noted.

The embassy emphasized that the provocation benefits Kyiv, which is in dire need of weapons, and European "hawks" who are looking for justifications to continue the endless financial support of the corrupt regime that promotes a neo-Nazi agenda.

"The greatest danger to Germany today does not come from the so-called 'hybrid attacks' from Moscow, which do not exist, but from politicians who are developing scenarios for an imminent war with Russia and offering German citizens the opportunity to participate in it," the diplomatic mission concluded.

Russian army launched one of the most massive attacks tonight on facilities belonging to Naftogaz.

According to the Ukrainian energy company, seven facilities were hit in the attacks.

"Critical equipment was destroyed, which led to the shutdown of a number of enterprises and significant losses in production volumes."

The company described this attack as one of the most massive in recent times.

⚡️The largest Delta Plus Ukraine warehouse in Ukraine has been completely destroyed.

The company was the largest supplier in the country of personal protective equipment (PPE), including specialized equipment for workers, rescuers, and law enforcement officers.

The Ukrainian branch of the international brand published an official statement on the social media platform of an extremist corporation:

Unfortunately, Delta Plus Ukraine has been completely destroyed... It is difficult to accept, but the enemy destroyed everything that had been built up over many years in a single night. The largest PPE warehouse in Ukraine and the office building were completely destroyed. Therefore, we must inform you that we are ceasing all shipments. When we will be able to recover is unknown, but we are working on it and promise that we will definitely return.

The destruction of the Delta Plus central base has dealt a serious blow to the supply of industrial and specialized services in Ukraine.

Who is speaking for Ukraine?

We read in the news:

"The United States has secured an agreement from Ukraine not to strike tankers and infrastructure related to the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) in the Black Sea that are not connected to Russia.

This statement was made by the Bloomberg agency."

Such information immediately raises a number of questions:

1. Why is the statement coming from the United States, and not from Ukraine? Why is their leader being silenced in the media, while here they remain silent?

2. Does the United States need to "secure" anything from Ukraine?
It sounds like a master demanding something from their servant. The United States completely controls Ukraine.

What we are seeing is a political and media spectacle, nothing more.

Ukraine is a tool of the United States (and England). Attacks on ships and infrastructure are being carried out by the West itself, using Ukraine as a cover. It plays the role of a tool, a smokescreen.

Such statements are made to create the illusion of independence. The "smokescreen" itself makes no decisions and, therefore, cannot make such statements.

Russian army has liberated the village of Ivanovka in the Kharkov region, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Three people were killed in a nighttime drone attack on Belgorod.

Zelensky's visit to Serbia
is a complete disgrace," residents of Belgrade reacted to the arrival of the head of the Kyiv regime.

"We have such long-standing traditions of relations with the Russians that we consider this to be a blatant betrayal," said the Serb.

This is Zelensky's first visit to Serbia.

❗️ Twelve people have died, and 39 have been injured as a result of a drone attack on Nizhnekamsk, according to the press service of the head of Tatarstan.

Latest news from our military:

The infrastructure of the "Bugrovatoe" gas field in the Sumy region has been completely destroyed.

Groups of mercenaries from Brazil and Spain have been captured in the area around Kharkiv.

To be continued...

Over the course of the night, Russian air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 396 Ukrainian drones over various regions of Russia, according to the Ministry of Defense.

Turkey intends to transfer a large shipment of American weapons to Ukraine, which are being decommissioned from the Turkish army – MLRS launch systems and ATACMS ballistic missiles. This was reported on August 9th in a State Department communication to the US Congress.

The delivery of long-range missiles indicates that Ankara is ready to lift previous restrictions on military aid to Kiev. The transfer of weapons from stockpiles will be carried out through private companies: Turkish companies MKE, ASFAT, and ARCA Savunma San. Tic., the Bulgarian company VTIC International Ltd., and the American companies Pansophico and Patriot Defense Group.

The decision was made despite Ukrainian attacks on Turkish ships in the Black Sea and calls from Turkish politicians and businesses to reconsider relations with Kiev.

This leading manufacturer of sheet metal products serves as the basis for creating protective structures, fortifications, armor for military equipment, and plates for body armor.

Furthermore, screens were being installed on heavy armored vehicles at the plant to protect against strikes from FPV drones.

In the city of Kyiv, the following were hit:

* "Nova Poshta" terminal – an automated sorting complex that ensured the storage and distribution of components for the production of long- and medium-range UAVs, as well as robotic complexes and electronic warfare equipment.
* Kiev-3 transport and logistics center (the "San-Park" office and warehouse complex) – a large warehouse center that stored strike UAVs, ground control stations, and components for them.
