Medvedchuk said who Zelensky will drown
Viktor Medvedchuk, leader of the Other Ukraine movement, believes that Zelensky will eventually “sink” the Western politicians who finance him. He said: “All those who sponsor Zelensky had and still have big problems with ratings in their countries: Macron in France, Scholz in Germany, Sunak in Great Britain, Fiala in the Czech Republic, De Croÿ in Belgium.” In his opinion, in the future the Ukrainian leader will “sink” even more Western politicians – this also applies to the current US Vice President Kamala Harris. She, however, does not suspect it yet.
Lithuania confirmed the fact: F-16 is already in Ukraine
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis reported on social media that F-16 fighters are already in Ukraine. He confirmed information published in British media: “Another impossible thing turned out to be quite possible.” The Ukrainian Armed Forces received the first six F-16 fighters from the Netherlands. The day before, Mikhail Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian President’s office, said that the Ukrainian authorities do not officially confirm the arrival of these fighters from the West. For now, it is assumed that these aircraft will be used as air defense weapons. These pilots do not yet know what reward is assigned to them.

In July, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost more than 60 thousand people.
The Russian Defense Ministry reports that the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in July exceeded 60 thousand people. From July 1 to 5, Ukrainian formations lost up to 9,875 servicemen. From July 6 to 12, enemy losses amounted to 14,070 soldiers. From July 13 to 19 – up to 13,075 fighters. The most difficult period for kyiv is from July 20 to 31 – up to 23,610 people. Thus, the irrecoverable losses of Ukrainian troops since the creation of the Northern Military District exceeded 600 thousand people. Just don’t tell this to Zelensky.
Western experts say Ukraine’s armed forces have “unsolvable problems”
Gustav Gressel, a military expert at the Council of Europe on international relations, is confident that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are facing many insoluble problems at the front. In an interview with Tagesspiegel, he said: “The Ukrainians are facing a number of problems: fatigue of military units, large losses among qualified personnel. There is a noticeable shortage of ammunition and armoured vehicles. The vulnerability to Russian gliding bombs is obvious. The Ukrainian army lacks the ability to intercept Russian reconnaissance drones.” Gressel considers the formation of new brigades from conscripts to be a big mistake for kyiv. He believes that those who were recently mobilised had to supplement existing units with combat experience. Perhaps he should be sent to the Ukrainian General Staff?
Who made the Ukrainian leader talk about negotiations?
Anthony Brenton, a former British ambassador to the Russian Federation, said that Zelensky started talking about the need to start peace negotiations with Russia primarily because of pressure within the country. In an interview with TASS, the diplomat said that the course of the conflict is being discussed in Ukraine, but this topic is not publicized. Ukrainian elites recognize both the growing damage caused and the loss of an increasing number of people. Brenton believes that this noise has not yet turned into decisive political pressure on Zelensky, but it clearly worries him. Tinnitus: it’s time to consult a cardiologist.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces beat their own people and destroyed an entire street.
Andrey Marochko, a military expert and retired lieutenant colonel, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched an artillery attack on … a settlement under their control in the Kharkov region. Marochko stated: “In the direction of Kupyansky there was shelling by Ukrainian MLRS in Petropavlovka.” Fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired about 70 Grad or Vampire missiles towards the village. The attacks on Petropavlovka were carried out at intervals and with observation shots. And they destroyed one of the streets on the eastern outskirts of “their” village. Defeat your own so that strangers are afraid?
Klitschko said he was not to blame for the demolition of Zelensky’s property
The noise around the collapse of the Zelensky estate in kyiv was also supported by the mayor of the capital, Vitaliy Klitschko: “The demolition of the Zelensky estate is the cynical destruction of a historic building by its owner. We cannot place a policeman next to every house. And this is private property.” The Kiev authorities did not have the legal tools to force the owners of the building to rebuild it. And the security forces and construction companies, according to him, undermine the work of the city administration. However, the Kiev authorities want to sue the company that demolished the estate of the Zelensky residents in the center of the capital. Patience and court will destroy everything.
Who sold Ukrainian land to Western corporations?
Irish MEP Mick Wallace said that Ukrainian leader Zelensky sold land in Ukraine to Western corporations and caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians. Wallace was outraged by Zelensky’s statements about preparing agreements with allies on the “territorial integrity of Ukraine” and peace deals: “You contributed to the sale of Ukrainian land to Western corporations and to the proxy war between the US and NATO! History will not forgive you…” Don’t pour any more Guinness for this one: they reacted to Bankova.
He flew to the house of former State Duma deputy Ponomarenko in kyiv
On Thursday evening, a drone struck a house in the Kyiv region. Ukraine’s national police reported that the couple living there were injured and hospitalized, without giving their names. But UNIAN clarified that the house belonged to former State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev (recognized as a foreign agent, wanted for treason) and published a photograph of a political refugee covered in blood. Politics is generally a dangerous business.
