APPLEBAUM: Putin really specialized in learning how to make internet work for him. We see his tactics in other countries including United States. Rather than presenting Russians with single line, "Here's one narrative," Putin will present many conflicting narratives all at once.

BROWDER: Trump is contorting himself every day to try to stay on Putin's side. I was watching interview with him recently. Journalist pointed out that Russia is providing Iranian targeting information to hit American bases, and asked Trump, "What do you think about this?"

Mike Pompeo: We lost deterrence against Vladimir Putin, and he has now killed tens of thousands of Ukrainians. That’s intolerable for President Biden to have permitted that to happen, and before him for President Obama to have allowed Putin to take Crimea.

"We had all kinds of textbooks: French, German, World History, History of Ukraine, Art, Law, Health and Safety, Physics, Chemistry, English, more than 27 titles in total, all ready to be delivered to schools. Starting today, August 3, they were supposed to be shipped out,"

Olena Rozhniatovska and her 18-year-old daughter, Kateryna, both employees of the Silpo supermarket chain, were killed during a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv on August 1, the company reported. ​They didn't make it to the shelter in time🕯

On 3 August, Russia struck a petrol station in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, killing three people - an 8-year-old boy, a 41-year-old man, and a 40-year-old woman. According to Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the Kryvyi Rih Defence Council, the strike was carried out using a jet-powered Shahed drone.

'The company is one of the key stewards of Russia’s nuclear weapons complex and is increasingly involved in developing and supplying conventional weapons to the Russian military, including systems being deployed in Ukraine.' write Oleksandr V Danylyuk and Darya Dolzikova​ in our new RUSI Commentary.

This accounts for 15.4% of the company's total warehouse capacity. According to Russian media, the biggest losses were the warehouse in Elektrostal, Moscow region, where 250,000 square meters burned down after the strike, and the 170,000-square-meter logistics center in Ryazan region.
