Is Ukraine about to have a war?
Theres a video going around of a memorial table with 17 photos of deceased russians on it. Apparently it was the '25th separtate special forces unit Mercury' all killed on the 19th july. Dunno how big one of these groups are but 17 SOF lost in one event probably pretty much screw that unit for the forseable future. Wasn't the 19th o july when they hit that army level HQ in donetsk

Well they did transfer a lot of their best forces to the south, what did they expect to happen….
Russian sources hysterical; claiming Ukrainians began attacking in Kharkiv direction.
Also noticing a few Russian channels what I would describe frantically asking witnesses of Ukrainian troop, ammo, vehicles, air defence to come forward and submit data to this telegram bot: @zov_sirius_bot
Perhaps some NAFO intervention would be useful?
Seriously, at least 5-6 big channels suddenly woke up at 3am Moscow time to ask for data.

Russia conducting a false-flag artillery attack near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, also spreading wild rumours of Ukranian paratroopers landing etc…

They arrived though, drove through the artillery, was bits about Ukraine delaying them 3 hours, but i bet that was due to the artillery concerns, nothing more.
Should have travelled in with the press lol

The head of the IAEA at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant. Plus a horde of domestic and foreign journalists. He must be feeling like a rock star...

Racking up nicely
bejesus, if those figures are anywhere close to the reality the Russians are really taking hits. It was estimated earlier that there would be approx 25k orcs in the west bank of Dnipro, so they would've lost nearly 2% of their troops in just one day. Ok, I realize this is the total not just that area, but the weight has definately been there so most probably that is the majority.
Plus the MBT's and APC's, 56 total. Thats more than two MBT companies and two mech Infantry companies written off. Depending on how the casualties form it is enough to cripple two russian BTG's inoperable. In one day.
Slava ukraini.

Senior German energy officials suspected of spying for Putin
Two senior officials working on Germany’s energy security are under investigation as suspected Russian spies, according to a report.
The pair, who have not been publicly identified, are said to hold key posts in the economy ministry, which is managing the complex and painful shift away from Russian gas and oil.….
Die Zeit reported that the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) — Germany’s domestic intelligence service — had been called in to investigate after civil servants in the department became suspicious.
The alarm is said to have been raised after “anomalies” were spotted in internal reports on sensitive subjects such as gas storage, energy security and the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which was mothballed shortly before the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February.
The two officials apparently raised eyebrows by “deviating wildly from the minister’s official line” in discussions about Nord Stream 2, the de facto nationalisation of Gazprom’s German arm and plans to rescue Uniper, one of Germany’s biggest energy companies.
Habeck’s team alerted the BfV, whose officers supposedly detected an “emotional closeness to Russia” in the pair and identified biographical details that “stood out” in their CVs, such as a period of study in Moscow.
In the absence of hard evidence that the officials were in the Kremlin’s pay, it remains possible that they simply adopted Russia-friendly positions of their own accord….
Germany’s leaders had cultivated a relationship with Russia for much of the past two and a half decades before the outbreak of war, including intensive exchange and dialogue programmes. As a result strong sympathy for the Kremlin’s positions was not uncommon in the higher reaches of politics and officialdom, and in some cases it has persisted to this day.
As a rule the BfV does not comment on its operations. The economy ministry has declined to disclose any further information about the case but said it was in close contact with the agency because its strategically important brief put it in “particular focus” for the intelligence services.

The dangers of smoking in Russia…
Smoking is officially Russia's deadliest pastime
Moscow police already circulating a simple explainer of Maganov's accident (Lukoil director fell out of hospital window to his death) - he left a pack of cigarettes on the window sill, he fell out while smoking. Legit.….

Good to see that a Twitter search for Kherson is full of Russian propaganda about the “failed counter offensive” but very little from the Ukrainian side showing the requests for them to go dark is working. Most posts from Ukrainian’s are Ukrainian targeting information, Russian storage here, truck park here etc.
I did like the telegram channel asking for people to report Ukrainian movements followed shortly by a Ukrainian asking Russian speaking Ukrainians to send in bogus targets or Russian positions lol, or fill the reporting site with porn.

Only half a speed-brake
Huge number, isn't it? Let's assume 20.000 converts.
12k x 20 k = 240 000 000 = 0.25 bil EUR.
On a scale of EU, this is very small money. After all it is 500 EUR for 1 month 1 person over 2 years. Social welfare payments in most countries are about that size, its best imagined as the 20k dispersed all across the EU.
Compared with the immigration waves of recent years, it seems very doable.
Killing them all won't be without financial cost either. Both direct ('our' guns ammo and troops) and indirect (the damage they will inflict before losing).

Agreed, hope it is true and not a trap or someone trying to dry his underwear.
Is it true about 370+ Ukrainian soldiers died (Apparently UK trained), in barges heading for the nuclear plant....?
Some photo's about showing the large Orange/Brown barges and one with smoke coming out of it...
