APPLEBAUM: Kushner and Witkoff didn’t understand Putin. They don’t really know the geography of Ukraine. They were seen by Russians, and really by everybody, as incompetents who were bumbling along. Russians thought, "Well, we can rip these people off, and win the war that way."
Twenty-four people were injured by a Russian airstrike on a residential neighborhood in Kramatorsk, Donetsk region. Six apartment buildings, two educational institutions, a bank, a post office, retail facilities, vehicles, and infrastructure were damaged. 📹: Radio Liberty
A Russian drone completely burned down the Holy Protection Church (Sviato-Vvedenska) in Boryslav, Kherson region, built in 1726. The church was an architectural monument of national significance and one of the few surviving examples of Cossack wooden sacral architecture.

Det som kallas ”human safari”. När ryska drönaroperatörer jagar civila ukrainare för nöjes skull, och för skräckens skull. Detta pågår ständigt i frontstäderna. Den fullskaliga invasionen är inne på sitt femte år. De ryska invasionsstyrkorna kontrollerar en femtedel av Ukraina.

Once again, Moscow asks the word turn a blind eye to its war crimes through its western mediators in press. Here is what Andrew Chekhoyan has to say about this. 👇
The Kyiv Independent@kyivindependent.com · last wk."Russia's invasion becomes a 'war in Ukraine.' Moscow's neo-imperial bid for a sphere of influence, where neighbors are to be murdered until they give up sovereignty, becomes "security interests." Ukraine's refusal to be massacred morphs into an obstacle to peace," writes Andrew Chakhoyan.
As I said repeatedly during Trump 1.0, Trump sees the U.S. Treasury as his personal piggy bank. But back then, he couldn’t find a way to siphon it to himself. This time around, he has: shakedowns, crypto, and the slush fund. With the added bonus of paying off his own shadow army.
The problem is Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, and Witkoff, his friend who’s a real estate developer, are not diplomats. They are amateurs who don’t know what they’re doing and who both have business or financial interests in this process.
Targeting civilians is a war crime. Yet russia does this daily in Ukraine. Help protect innocent people from deadly russian strikes. u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...
‼️ Russia: “Russian banks currently lack available ruble liquidity to purchase federal loan bonds, which the Ministry of Finance is using to cover the budget deficit, according to Taras Skvortsov, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Sberbank.” 🍿🔥🍿🔥🍿 ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/07/31/s...
Ian Brzezinski: Sanctions that West has placed on Russia have been incremental and marginal, they’ve given Russia time to adjust to them. It’s really time for the West to body-slam Russian economy with secondary sanctions, a complete economic cutoff.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that Russia's war in Ukraine can no longer be viewed as a purely regional conflict. The theater of military operations is closely linked politically and technologically within the system of rivalry between global players, in particular the US and China⤵️
KASPAROV: Trump, no matter what he thinks about Putin, how many potential business relations exist between Trump’s camp and Russians, wants to be on winning side. Ukrainians turned the tables, and it doesn’t seem Putin is winning now. But still, Trump prevents any meaningful action against Russia.

"If Russian President Vladimir Putin were to make a clear-headed assessment of the state of his war with Ukraine, he would seek a ceasefire. But his head apparently is not clear, because all signs point to him pursuing some kind of escalation," writes Carl Bildt in this op-ed.

Trump is an imbecile. Trump is a russian asset. Americans gave Trump unchecked power. Therefore, the United States is a faithless ally, an untrustworthy trade partner and a menace to free societies around the world.
If Starlink will be allowed to use over russia the amount of damage that would done to the russian army and economy would be colossal Allowing Starlink also enabled strikes is one of the few ways available to hunt and displace russian Iskander-M launchers and RM-48U. No PAC3 needed after
