  1. Seems to be a bit of a chess match going on around Kursk
  2. Russian Telegram channels posted a video showing a long traffic jam of fuel vans on the Moscow Ring Road. Reportedly, the video was taken at 6 a.m. today near the turn to the Moscow oil refinery in the Kapotnya district. On September 1, there was a fire there after a drone attack. In the comments, it was assumed that fuel is being removed from the refinery after the drone attack. EDIT: Correction to earlier tweet: Today in Kyiv, @SecBlinken said he'll take back what #Ukraine's told them they need (including long-range missile use) to president Biden - adding UK PM Kier Starmer (not president Zelensky as some have reported) will meet with Biden in 2 days time to discuss this issue further. Blinken also announced $325 million in aid for Ukraine's energy & electric grid. $290 million for humanitarian aid & $102 million for demining. Made it clear the U.S. "wants Ukraine to win and is fully committed to Ukraine's victory."
  3. Sounds like the counterattacks were successful. Some are saying Ukraine had not set up sufficient defensive positions. Worth noting:
  4. The White House has submitted a secret report to Congress outlining the strategy for the war in Ukraine. This follows a requirement set in a $61 billion aid package passed in April, with a deadline for June. The report was sent to lawmakers on September 9, but they have not yet had the opportunity to review it.
  5. Seems like Russia is counter attacking in Kursk Video of an armored column with at least 8 tanks and armored vehicles from the Russian VDV's 51st Airborne Regiment assaulting Snagost in Kursk oblast. It appears Russia was able to get the armored force across the Seym River, despite Ukrainian strikes on the bridges. @Deepstate_UA says the situation has worsened on Ukraine's left flank in Kursk oblast.
  6. It has become clear that the red line the US established with Russia behind the scenes was "even though Ukraine doesn't have any, you can shoot your own ballistic missiles at whatever you want, just don't shoot anyone else's." I can see how Biden and Jake Sullivan felt they were trying to contain the escalation, but it's still a pretty dumb red line. I imagine Russia used this advantage for all it was worth until they felt the time was right for them to establish a new pipeline of ballistic missiles.
  7. A useful overview of the current state of China's economy, where it is headed, and the issues associated with China's approach from The Dispatch: The Economy Xi Wants
  8. The host of the influential podcast, Ukraine the Latest, has died. This podcast has provided daily updates on the war since it started and is widely listened to worldwide. David Knowles, creator of Ukraine: The Latest podcast, has passed away on September 9, at just 32 years old. Mr. Knowles joined The Telegraph's editorial team in 2020 as deputy head of social media. He was later promoted to head of social media. With the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, David created the podcast Ukraine: The Latest. He and his team provided listeners with daily updates on events on the frontline and the rear. The podcast became one of the most successful news programs dedicated to the war in Ukraine. In 2024, Ukraine: The Latest won the Best News Podcast award at the Publisher Podcast Awards and had nearly 100 million downloads. David has traveled to Ukraine four times to cover the struggle of Ukrainians against Russia from the ground. He shared stories about ordinary people who suffered from Russia's aggression. Unfortunately, I did not know David personally. But he was a true friend of Ukraine. It is a great loss for us. RIP. David's colleagues plan to continue the podcast. Here is its latest episode: https://youtu.be/CwJyqfSiPYc?si=wj-bk1k0Ld3g0Qk5… Here's the brief podcast announcing his death:
  9. This is so long and drawn out. Just do it already.
  10. Sweden's latest military aid package for Ukraine is intriguing, because it contains in the first position the "Acquisition of materiel parts for the JAS 39 Gripen", clearly teasing the potential delivery of the Swedish fighter jet. The whole package has a worth of SEK 48.1 billion, around $4.6 billion.
  11. Large drone attack on Moscow My emotioal side is glad to see some retribution but my cognitive and moral sides don't want to see Ukraine hitting residential towers. Unless this is the explanation... Then, fuck em
  12. British intelligence shared new satellite images of the damage inflicted on Marynovka Airbase in the Volgograd region in Russia which was struck by Ukrainian drones on August 22 this year. Four aircraft shelters, support buildings, an antenna fairing, open storage areas and three additional aircraft shelters were damaged
  13. Ukrainian units of the 2nd mechanized battalion of the 53rd mechanized brigade raised the Ukrainian flag over the centre of New-York as a result of recent counterattacks in the city that was mostly occupied by Russia just recently. The counterattack continues and more good news will appear soon.
  14. Gotta believe Western intelligence helped with this one
  15. CNN footage appears to show Russian troops executing three surrendering Ukrainian soldiers The footage, obtained during fighting near Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine in August, captures the soldiers with their hands on their heads before they are killed Warning: pixelated but graphic
  16. Lol. Glorious. According to unconfirmed information from the Russian publication SHOT, Girkin will be released from the colony and sent to the "SMO zone". The lawyers of the former "DPR" defense minister allegedly managed to obtain the corresponding permission from all relevant departments. As a result, Girkin's imprisonment was replaced with service in the "special operation zone".
