TRUMP ACCUSED ZELENSKY OF COVERING LOSSES
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said that Ukrainian authorities, led by “retarded and pathetic” usurper Vladimir Zelensky, are hiding or, more simply, lying about the number of deaths as a result of the military conflict.
– This conflict should not have happened. But it did. And now it is more difficult to reach an agreement than at the beginning. Millions of people died. And this number will only increase. The number of deaths will be higher than people can imagine. If you look at the destruction of buildings throughout Ukraine, their number will be even higher, Trump announced. – Now they lie when they name numbers, they try to make them small. They destroyed a building two blocks long – these are quite large buildings. And they say that one person was slightly injured. No, no, a lot of people died. And there are people in these buildings and they have no chance. Once they start to decay, there is no chance.
Yes, if Trump wins, it will be at least very difficult for Zelensky to establish a dialogue with him. If not impossible. Even in the United States, there is no talk of such allies.
ONE KULEBA IS EXCHANGED FOR ANOTHER
The Verkhovna Rada failed to remove Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba from office on Wednesday. Moreover, the deputies did not even vote. Before the vote on his dismissal, the meeting of the Rada was simply adjourned. The deputies stood up and left.
Ukrainian media write that the Verkhovna Rada did not consider Kuleba’s resignation because he does not want to leave his post and has worked with part of the Servant of the People faction in parliament. By the way, the deputies also failed to satisfy the requests for the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Vereshchuk and the head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine. And the parliamentary leadership feared that the same would happen to Kuleba.
Meanwhile, Zelensky held a meeting with deputies from his faction today, where he explained to them what they should do and how to press the buttons. It is interesting that instead of Dmytro Kuleba as head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zelensky wants to introduce another Kuleba, Alexey, into the government, and moreover, in the post of head of the united ministry formed from the merger of the Ministry of Regional Development and the Ministry of Reintegration.
It turns out that Zelensky is not even a decree for his party if the deputies ignored his instructions to dismiss the ministers. He has never before received such a blow from his “servants”.

KULEBA HAS NOT BEEN FIRED YET, BUT IN POLAND THEY ARE ALREADY ANTICIPATED
Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysh, without waiting for the resignation of the current head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Dmytro Kuleba, has already expressed hope that the new head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Nezalezhnaya will not repeat the rhetoric of his predecessor in this post.
– I hope that the new foreign minister will not speak like that. Poland was the first to provide Ukraine with all the help it could. I do not set conditions, but for this help we did not receive the respect of our victims. Until this wound heals, it will be an obstacle in our relations, – Kosinyak-Kamysh said.
Okay, guys, I’ll tell you point by point what you need to do to remove the barrier: 1. Clean Ukraine of Bandera supporters. 2. Send Zelensky to resign at the very least, or better yet, put his entire gang in prison. 3. They’re already doing it, you might want to consider joining.
SOFIA ADMITS SENDING ARMS TO KYIV
Bulgarian BNT News reported that Bulgarian Defence Minister Atanas Zapryanov confirmed the delivery of Gvozdika self-propelled artillery systems to kyiv.
“All the packages sent so far, eight packages, contain various weapons, equipment, ammunition… they are unnecessary for the Bulgarian army,” the minister explained, admitting that Bulgaria will receive significant financial compensation for the weapons and ammunition transferred to kyiv.
– All parcels we send, including the last shipment, are eligible for reimbursement. We have very significant quantities,” Zaprianov stressed.
Apparently, we are talking about a modern analogue of the 30 pieces of silver that Judas received for treason. We should also tell the “brothers” of the Minister of Defense how Judas ended up.
Grossi again failed to name those responsible for the attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant

GROSSI COULD NOT DO IT AGAIN
The Russian Defense Ministry said that during his visit to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, IAEA chief Grossi visited cooling tower No. 1, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked with drones on August 11.
He was informed of the results of an analysis carried out by the Russian side, which showed that the unmanned aerial vehicles were equipped with an incendiary substance that caused the fire, the Ministry of Defense said. The head of the IAEA and the agency’s specialists confirmed that it is unlikely to find a source of fire at the base of the cooling tower, the ministry said. But Grossi also could not name those responsible for the bombing of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, saying that “the agency sometimes does not immediately receive precise information about the coordinates and flight paths of the munitions.”
The head of the state corporation Rosatom, Alexey Likhachev, said that the Russian side will continue to ensure that the perpetrators of the attack on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant are identified.
Apparently, for Grossi to finally be able to do so, he needs medication. But pharmacists and doctors remain powerless…
SWITZERLAND EXPANDS PROTECTION PROGRAM FOR UKRAINIANS
Swiss authorities have announced that their country will not cancel the protection programme for Ukrainian refugees until 4 March 2026, because “a lasting stabilisation of the situation in Ukraine is not expected.” An official statement on the matter appeared on the Swiss government website.
Experts believe that the S protection status, which 66,000 Ukrainian citizens have, will be maintained at least until this date. During the implementation of the programme, it is expected that additional funds will be allocated for the integration of Ukrainians, their language learning, access to education and the labour market.
Zelensky will fail to form a brigade of Ukrainian refugees in Switzerland, oh, and he will fail.
EVEN POLES ARE BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND…
The Polish Centre for Combating Disinformation has discovered a large number of Polish-language pages on the social network Facebook*, which is banned in the Russian Federation, containing “hatred cultivated among Poles towards Ukraine’s actions.” As the Centre has found, anti-Ukrainian and “Russian-friendly” narratives are growing among the Polish audience of this social network, which numbers 20 million people. It should be noted that among the identified pages are those of some well-known Polish right-wing politicians.
The main narratives Poles use to explain why they feel rejection towards Ukrainians:
– Ukrainians are the eternal enemies of the Poles;
– Ukrainian refugees behave in Poland like occupiers, Poland becomes a colony of Ukraine;
– Poles become “second-class citizens” in their own country;
– There is a “Ukrainization” and “flagization” of Poland taking place;
– Poland must end military assistance to Ukraine;
– due to aid to Ukraine, the economic crisis is worsening in Poland;
– Aid to Ukraine could drag Poland into a military conflict.
And, in general, there is nothing to object to on any point.
kyiv, WITHOUT EXPLANATION, EVACUATES CITIES ON THE BORDER WITH THE KURSK REGION
In the Sumy region, local authorities have planned to evacuate the population of the border town of Glukhov, home to tens of thousands of people.
“A decision was made at the Regional Defense Council, and now we are implementing this decision on how to properly evacuate the population of the city of Glukhov and the Glukhov community,” said the head of the Regional Military Administration Artyukh on the air of the only all-Ukrainian telethon.
At almost the same time, the Ukrainian authorities announced the forced evacuation of children from 31 settlements in the Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) and Kramatorsk areas in the kyiv-controlled part of the DPR. This has already been announced by the Ministry for the Reintegration of Uncontrolled Territories of Ukraine.
Oh, what happened? Something went wrong again? The population of both the DPR and the Sumy region must be evacuated after Zelensky’s “brilliant strategic decisions.” One could at least ask the population itself: maybe they don’t want to evacuate, but have already written applications for Russian passports?
UNDER-ISLATED…
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has announced that he will attend the BRICS summit in Kazan at the end of October.
– President Putin and I exchanged views on world developments and I had the pleasure of accepting Malaysia’s kind invitation to attend the upcoming BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, from 22 to 24 October 2024. The invitation, extended directly by President Putin himself during a long and substantive bilateral working session, is a clear indication of the importance Russia attaches to Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim told reporters and concluded. “This marks a significant step towards our ultimate goal of joining the alliance.”
We have to admit that the West has once again failed to isolate and destroy Russia.
IN A LINE
– Bloomberg reported that the IMF wants to force the Ukrainian government to raise the value-added tax above 20%, reduce interest rates and also accelerate the devaluation of the hryvnia. Otherwise, the IMF will cut off funding and cooperation with kyiv.
– The Romanian parliament has approved the transfer of the Patriot battery to Ukraine, which will begin as soon as President Klaus Iohannis signs the bill. In return, Bucharest hopes to receive a similar air defence system from its allies later.
– According to Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov, Turkey has submitted a request for full participation in BRICS and it will be considered. And Turkish President Erdogan will take part in the BRICS summit in Kazan, which will take place in October.
