Wäre ja auch eine Frechheit wenn man zu früh ankommen würde. Da kann man etwas Geschwindigkeit rausnehmen.

MORE: Ukraine's ongoing strike campaign targeting Russia’s oil refineries is contributing to gasoline shortages across Russia that will likely raise inflation and cause further macroeconomic instability in Russia.

Ukrainian forces recently advanced near Pokrovsk and in western Zaporizhia Oblast.

Terrific new article by Mariya Omelicheva @warontherocks.bsky.social on the role of a huge number of semi-state forces in Russia’s war against Ukraine: warontherocks.com/2025/08/insi...

missed this one last night: "Japan expressed interest Tuesday in participating in the NATO command for its Ukrainian mission based in Germany in what would be a major boost in ties with the largely European alliance."

“The Baltics have raised all sorts of taxes, including on tobacco (“Smoke a Marlboro, stop the Russians!”). “

»Erstens ist [Trump] ein sehr leichtes Opfer. Er ist intellektuell nicht besonders gut ausgestattet, hat weder historische noch regionale Kenntnisse. Zweitens leben Trump und seine Mitstreiter wie die Nationale Geheimdienstdirektorin, Tulsi Gabbard, oder ... 1/2

Trump is simply repeating a Putin talking point here. Russia has insisted on intervening in basic issues of Ukrainian sovereignty for more than a decade. Now Trump is doing Putin’s PR work, making unsustainable arguments for an unjustifiable invasion.

Interesting . But not a fast read.

NEW: Iranian-backed Iraqi militias have reportedly deployed to northern Syria to help defend the Assad regime against opposition forces.
