Ukrainian forces control about 1,000 square kilometers in Russia's Kursk Oblast as of Aug. 12, Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said.

As Kyiv's incursion continues into its seventh day, Syrskyi briefed President Zelensky on the "offensive operation" in Kursk Oblast.
This marks the first time both Zelensky and Ukraine's military leadership directly confirmed Ukrainian soldiers' presence on Russian soil.

Two Kursk grandmothers stop and talk to Ukrainian soldiers.

The majority of Kursk residents speak Ukrainian, not Russian.

This MAY be why so many Russians are surrendering to Ukrainians without a fight.

A close-up shot of the cooling tower set on fire by the Russians at the Zaporizhzhia NPP.

The cooling tower is concrete. Russia placed a large amount of old car tires and set it on fire.

I believe the action was a Putin warning to Ukraine to stay away from the Kursk NPP.

⚠️ Confirmed: Metrics show #Russia has restricted Signal messaging app backends on most internet providers; regulator Roskomnadzor states that the ban has been imposed to prevent Signal's use for "extremist" purposes; the app remains usable with "censorship circumvention" enabled


So Russia blocked Signal - https://www.reuters.com/technology/signal-messenger-blocked-russia-says-roskomnadzor-ifax-2024-08-09/

"Access to the Signal messaging app is blocked in connection with violation of the requirements of Russian legislation which must be complied with to prevent the use of messaging apps for terrorist and extremist aims,"

So thankful that Russia goes after those extremists using Signal! Russia already has enough on their hands dropping bombs on hospitals and supermarkets and invading other countries! Fuck off extremists!

By the way we ship TROMjaro with a trade-free VPN to bypass these stupidities.

Also: Signal Settings > Privacy > Advanced > Censorship circumvention (on)

Putler is clever. It'd be really stupid. Besides, the gold shippments from Africa finance his wars.

Also, he is looking weak again. If history is any guide, it's time for another coup.

In short, I doubt it.

If you haven’t been paying attention, #Ukraine launched a serious invasion into #Russia supported by around 6,000** (edit: sorry I can’t math) troops.

“It’s more clear by the hour that what’s happening in Kursk isn’t a raid: it really is an invasion.”

#FactCheck

#Trump claimed that the US wouldn’t have experienced “any #inflation” had it not been for “bad #energy problems” during the #Biden admin.

False.

He appeared to be referencing the spike in gas prices that occurred after #Russia invaded #Ukraine in Feb 2022. That contributed to inflation at the time, but it was trending higher before then as a result of pent-up #demand from the #pandemic & #labor shortages.

Russian propagandist Mardan threatens a tactical nuclear strike on Ukrainian (and Russian) soldiers in Kursk region.

That's because Kursk region is "an indigenous historical Russian core", he explains. Apparently different regions of Russia have different value for him.
