Ukraine Breaks Silence on Kursk Raid Objectives
A Ukraine official on Thursday shed some light on the objectives of Kyiv's armored assault into the Kursk region of western Russia.

Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak suggested during a national TV broadcast that the surprise incursion would serve to boost Kyiv's position in potential future negotiations with Russia, Telegram channel Country Politics reported.

"Are they reacting to something other than fear? No, we need to finally realize this. Russia will perceive any compromise as weakness and a willingness to kneel before it," said Podolyak on Thursday.

"You can only squeeze something out, get something, if they understand that [the war] is not going according to their scenario," he added.

Ukraine's advances on Russian territory will also "scare" Russians and worsen their attitude towards the Russian leader, he said.

Wagner mercenaries head to Russia’s Kursk region as Ukrainian raid enters third day
Mercenaries supplied by the notorious Wagner Group are being redeployed to Russia’s southwestern Kursk region to support efforts by the Russian military to push back an Armed Forces of Ukraine incursion into Russian territory that is already in its third day.

"Didn’t I say there would be some good news? So here you go — Wagner Group fighters are returning to Russia," pro-war blogger Yegor Guzenko, better known by his alias Thirteen, wrote on his Telegram channel Thirteenth on Thursday.

Guzenko also posted a video showing a military unit in camouflage and wearing Wagner Group patches travelling in the back of an army vehicle, apparently heading to the Russian–Ukrainian border, in which one of the troops can be heard saying that the group is heading to the Kursk region, which he says “will be hot, but we have fire extinguishers.”

Pro-war Telegram channel Dva Mayora also reported the news, reposting Guzenko’s post and writing that “Wagner is going in the Kursk direction”, while Telegram news channel Mash wrote that Wagner fighters were travelling to the Kursk region “from distant lands, just as they did in 2022”.

Following the failure of the Wagner Group mutiny, led by the group’s co-founder Yevgeny Prigozhin in June 2023, about 10,000 Wagner mercenaries were allowed to move to Belarus, while those that decided to stay in Russia were given the option of returning to fight in Ukraine, as long as they signed a contract with the Defence Ministry.

Prigozhin was killed when his private jet crashed in suspicious circumstances just two months after his failed march on Moscow. While no longer a significant force in Ukraine, the Wagner Group still wields considerable influence in Africa, where various governments have hired Wagner mercenaries to shore up their power.

Russia seeks 15-year sentence for US-Russian ballerina

Russian-American ballerina Ksenia Karelina has pleaded guilty to treason charges after she was arrested for donating money to a charity supporting Ukraine.

Russian prosecutors are seeking a 15-year sentence after the security services accused Ms Karelina of collecting money that was used to purchase tactical supplies for the Ukrainian army.

She was detained by authorities in Yekaterinburg, about 1,600km (1,000 miles) east of Moscow after a family visit in February.

The sentence comes one week after Russia and the West carried out the largest prisoner exchange since the Cold War, where 24 people jailed in seven different countries were exchanged.

Ms Karelina's lawyer said the prosecutors' request for a 15-year sentence in a penal colony was too severe as the defendant had cooperated with the investigation.

Mikhail Mushailov also said it was "impossible" for Ms Karelina to have been included in the recent prisoner exchange, because an exchange can only happen once the court verdict comes into force.

"After the verdict, of course, we will work in this direction," Mr Mushailov told reporters on Thursday.

Ukraine F-16s Spotted Over Russia Controlled Kherson: Report
Ukrainian F-16 fighter jets have been spotted along the frontline in the country's southern Kherson region, according to a Russia-installed official.

The fourth-generation jets, provided by the West in recent weeks, were seen over the Ukrainian settlement of Kakhovka in the past two days, Pavlo Filipchuk, the Russian-backed head of the southern district, said on Thursday.

Kakhovka sits on the largely Russian-controlled east bank of the Dnieper River, which has broadly marked the frontline for much of the full-scale war.

On Sunday, Ukraine officially confirmed that the Lockheed Martin-made aircraft had arrived in the country and were already operational with Kyiv's air force.

"I am proud of all our guys who have mastered these aircraft and have already started using them for our country," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

"F-16s are already in Ukrainian skies, and there will be more," Zelensky said in a separate statement on Thursday.

"Since yesterday, F-16 [fighters] have been flying over our district," Filipchuk said in remarks published by Tass, the Russian state news agency. "This is being done only to sow panic."

Newsweek could not independently verify these reports and has reached out to the Ukrainian air force for comment.

Bundestag sees no issue with Ukraine using Leopards on Russian territory
With Russia's attack on Ukraine, the territory of both states is a combat zone, said Marcus Faber

Weapons provided to Kyiv as part of military aid become Ukrainian, said Chairman of the German Bundestag Defense Committee Marcus Faber in an interview with WAZ, commenting on Ukraine's alleged use of German tanks in Russia's Kursk Oblast.

He said he sees no problem with the possible use of German weapons on Russian territory.

"With the transfer to Ukraine, they become Ukrainian weapons. This applies to all the weapons, including the Leopard 2. With Russia's attack on Ukraine, the territory of both states is a combat zone. The rules of international law govern the use of weapons," Faber said.

On August 6, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had allegedly breached the border with the Kursk Oblast. Videos and photos purportedly showing battles on Russian territory are circulating on social media.

Russian propagandists claim that the Ukrainian Armed Forces allegedly control several settlements in the Kursk Oblast. No Security and Defense Forces department has commented on Ukraine's involvement in these events.

Ukraine's Sumy Council Rebukes Fakes of Including Russian Suzha City to Its Region
The Sumy District Council of the Sumy region of Ukraine denied the intention to include the Russian Suzha city as part of the district.

Earlier, a photo of a fake draft decision of the district council on the acceptance of Suzha and the district of the same name into the Sumy district began to spread on social networks.

The Sumy District Council stated that it is not considering the decision to include the city of Suzha and the Suzha District of the Kursk Region of Russia into the Sumy District of the Sumy Region.

"The Sumy District Council officially informs that there is no relevant decision in the draft decisions and agenda of the council, this issue is not within its competence. Moreover, the session of the Sumy District Council for today, August 8, 2024, has not been scheduled and was not held. We ask you to trust official sources of information," stated the council's post on Facebook.

On August 6 the governor of Russia's Kursk region reported an attempt by Ukrainian Forces to break through in the Kursk border.

Governor: Over 40% of Kharkiv region’s territories are hazardous due to Russian mines
Since the beginning of the Russian full-scale invasion, experts have cleared about 25,000 hectares of the Kharkiv region, but 40% of the area is still mined, reported Oleh Syniehubov, governor of Kharkiv Oblast on the meeting of the Congress of municipal and regional governments.

Kharkiv Oblast is one of the most heavily mined regions. More than 570,000 hectares of land in the Kharkiv region need to be inspected for mines and explosive devices after the Russian occupation.

Syniehubov said that, currently, 26 mechanical demining vehicles operate in the Kharkiv region. Deminers also start to use a new vehicle for soil preparation, which helps to protect personnel and increase demining productivity.

In total, explosive experts inspected 816 miles of roads, 131 miles of railroad tracks, 2,453 miles of power lines, and other critical facilities in the region. They found and destroyed more than 200,000 explosive items.

What Do We Know So Far About the Fighting in Russia's Kursk Region?

^{The photo depicts a large group of captured Russian soldiers gathered in a designated area. (Source: Russian TG channels)}

In the morning of August 6, the governor of Russia’s Kursk region reported an attempt by Ukrainian forces to break through at the Kursk border.

On August 7, Russian media reported that enemy forces have advanced towards the city of Sudzha in Kursk region, despite Russian officials stating that advance of enemy forces deeper into Russia in the Kursk direction has been halted.

Here’s what happened today at a glance, according to Russian media:
• Almost 20 settlements in the Kursk region are reportedly under full or partial control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
• On August 8, the Russian Ministry of Defense has confirmed the deaths of military personnel in the Kursk region and the loss of several settlements for the first time since the beginning of the escalation.
• Russian media reports 6 Bradley IFVs spotted in the region.
• Telegram channels report that the fighting is ongoing 29 kilometers away from the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant.
• Russian media reports that a total of 300 soldiers may have surrendered to Ukrainian Armed Forces, including many conscripts.
• Russian sources also highlight that defensive fortifications in the Kursk region were breached within a day, costing 15 billion rubles.
• Considering all the advances reportedly made by Ukrainian forces, it appears that Russia has now lost full control over an area of up to 430 square kilometers.

Russia Declares Border Area Emergency as Ukraine Troops Strike
Russian army chief Valery Gerasimov faces growing criticism after Ukrainian troops mounted their biggest incursion into Russian territory since the Kremlin started its war more than two years ago.

Gerasimov and top officials seemingly dismissed intelligence warnings that Ukrainian soldiers were gathering near the border with Russia’s western Kursk region as much as two weeks before they began the assault, and nobody briefed President Vladimir Putin, according to a person close to the Kremlin. Defensive forces inside Russia were caught off guard and offered little initial resistance to the Ukrainian advance.

While Gerasimov is unlikely to be removed in the short term, patience in the Kremlin over his handling of the war is running out, the person said, asking not to be identified as the matter is sensitive.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov didn’t respond to a request to comment.

Russia declared a state of emergency in the Kursk region as it battles for a third day to repel the invasion by what Gerasimov said was as many as 1,000 Ukrainian troops backed by tanks and armored vehicles. He told Putin at a televised meeting Wednesday that Russia has deployed troops, air strikes and artillery to try to stop the advance.

UAE bans Russian shadow fleet tankers from entering its ports
The United Arab Emirates has prohibited access to its ports for Russia's shadow fleet, which includes tankers registered under the flag of the landlocked African country of Eswatini.

Source: Bloomberg

Details: The United Arab Emirates has banned entry to its ports for ships that sail under the flag of the African state of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) in order to distance themselves from the shadow fleet transporting Russian oil.

Bloomberg added that the UAE had previously banned Cameroon-flagged tankers from its ports. Tankers registered under both these flags have been used to transport Russian oil to evade sanctions.

In 2023, not a single ship sailed under the Eswatini flag. Yet in 2024, 26 ships suddenly appeared under the flag of this tiny country in southern Africa which does not even have access to the sea.

Most of these vessels are tankers. There is no reliable data on the ownership of 16 of the ships. However, evidence indicates that some Eswatini-flagged tankers have been involved in transporting oil from Russia and Iran.

Background:
• Western insurance companies covered 10 tankers that sailed from Russia to Asia this year.
• The Viktor Bakayev tanker transports oil from the Baltic to China, testing the resolve of G7 sanctions aimed at restricting Russia's oil fleet.
