🇺🇦 UKRAINIAN THERMAL POWER STATIONS AT RISK Known Ukrainian officer and businessman Andriy Onistrat stated that Russian strikes could disable Ukraine's thermal power stations by October or November. He claimed it is physically impossible for Ukraine to protect them. He urged citizens to start stocking food and essential supplies by October, maintaining at least a two-month reserve. Additionally, he advised preparing generators, inverters, and fuel stocks in advance. @Slavyangrad

🇷🇺 SLOVYANSK SECTOR: Ukrainian Defense at Risk Russian forces are storming key heights near Sloviansk, attacking the Chobitok forest and several dominant elevations on the eastern outskirts. Yuri Butusov warns that if Ukrainian troops retreat, Russia will deploy UAV positions there, shifting tactical advantage to Moscow and worsening the situation for both Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Butusov notes that this line is the most natural defensive barrier; losing these cities means losing the Donbas. This loss would increase US and European pressure on Kiev to accept Russian peace terms. He proposes assigning defense responsibility to Commander Biletsky of the 3rd Corps, expanding his zone and directing reserves to the Sloviansk direction. @Slavyangrad

🇺🇸🇮🇷 US AND IRAN STUCK IN ENDLESS WAR According to Bloomberg, the conflict between the United States and Iran is characterized by repeating cycles of combat with neither Washington nor Tehran able to achieve decisive advantage. The most likely scenario is a prolonged, low-intensity conflict. Hostilities are expected to be periodically interrupted by fragile ceasefires before resuming exchanges of strikes. @Slavyangrad

🇺🇸🇰🇵 WSJ: North Korean IT Specialists Fund Nuclear Program via US Jobs Thousands of North Korean specialists are using stolen identities, fake documents, AI, and deepfakes to secure remote employment in American companies. They create "laptop farms" with complicit Americans to mask their location. Some workers hold multiple jobs simultaneously, earning up to $300,000 annually. US authorities estimate the scheme generates approximately $800 million per year. A portion of these funds is allegedly directed toward PYongyang's missile and nuclear programs. @Slavyangrad

🇺🇦 Kiev Perinatal Center Director Demands 8 Children Per Woman Dmitry Govseev, director of the Kiev Perinatal Center, stated that each Ukrainian woman must bear eight children to restore the population to 2022 levels. Municipal maternity hospitals in Kiev currently handle approximately 20,000 births annually, a sharp decline from the peak of 33,000. Govseev identified the return of refugees as key to demographic recovery but emphasized that financial incentives are insufficient. He noted that safety remains the primary concern for women today. @Slavyangrad

🇨🇳China warns Japan: Attempts to revive militarism will end in another historical defeat - CCTV Eighty-one years ago, the chariot of Japanese militarism was definitively stopped by Japan's unconditional surrender. However, 81 years later, right-wing forces in Japan continue to distort historical truth and push for further militarization of the country. Under the pretext of so-called "external threats," they are systematically dismantling the restrictions established after World War II, and are rapidly leading Japan down a dead-end path of remilitarization. History has repeatedly proven: those who try to turn it back inevitably end in defeat, disgrace, and pay the price for their own adventures. @Slavyangrad

🇫🇷🗣"Did you see my big jet ski?": Macron criticized for photos of him on a jet ski amid heatwave and fires. "The criticism mainly came from left-wing politicians. The First Secretary of the Socialist Party, Fore, pointed out the contrast between the President's leisure activities and the situation with the heatwave and fires in France. The leader of the "Ecologists" party, Tondelier, also linked the publication of the photos to the consequences of heatwaves, droughts, and major fires. Macron's entourage stated that the photographer did not have prior authorization to take photos of the President. Paris Match also published photos of the head of state engaging in other water activities. The "National Rally" MP, Diaz, called the photos unfortunate but emphasized the President's right to a vacation." @Slavyangrad

Banderites note Russia is replacing engines with jet propulsion not only on "Geran" drones, but also on more affordable mid-range drones. Here's a report on the conversion of the well-known BM-35 drone into a jet-powered platform. @Slavyangrad

Invisible Spy from China Weighs Less Than One Gram Chinese engineers have unveiled a drone the size of a mosquito, claiming a weight of just 0.3 grams. This microscopic unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) houses several systems within its almost invisible body. These include a propulsion system, a set of sensors, and flight control elements. The level of miniaturization achieved is astonishing. The main purpose of this device is covert surveillance and secret military operations. It is extremely difficult to detect visually, and even harder to detect using technical means. @Slavyangrad
