Dozens of conscripts went missing in Kursk region after Ukrainian Armed Forces invasion
During the invasion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the border areas of the Kursk region there were at least several dozen conscripts, writes "Verstka". The publication spoke with relatives of seven such servicemen and found out that many conscripts stopped communicating and disappeared after the start of the operation of the AFU.

Svetlana's son, who was doing his military service in Sudzha, wrote to her on the evening of August 6 that he was going "for reinforcements." "The last ones remained, the rest have already gone for reinforcements. There were wounded," Svetlana recounts the content of the message she received. According to her, her son did not contact her again.

A similar story happened to Evgenia's nephew from Novoaltaisk, who was called up for military service in the fall of 2023. She said that her relative last contacted her on the afternoon of August 7. Before that, he managed to report that he was alive and not captured, but "many conscripts were captured," and some were killed.

There were 30 more conscripts at the position where Evgenia's nephew was. According to him, those who survived were waiting to be evacuated. "It's not safe anywhere there now. Civilians are still being evacuated by ordinary good people. Some are getting out on their own. It's a shame. And no one remembered the conscripts at all," she noted.

Dugin Accuses Deripaska of Betrayal After Talking About Putin's 'Crazy' War
The founder of the aluminum giant Rusal, billionaire Oleg Deripaska, who spoke negatively about the war in Ukraine, has challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin, said conservative philosopher and ideologist of the "Russian world" Alexander Dugin.

He noted that " the West had been counting on a revolt of Russian oligarchs from the very beginning," but this has not happened so far. "Some oligarchs have decisively sided with Putin and the people. Some are biding their time. <…> And now Deripaska is making the first direct throw of the gauntlet at Putin, openly calling the SVO "madness," Dugin stated.

In his opinion, "in a critically difficult situation for the country," when the Armed Forces of Ukraine broke into Russian territory, such a statement can be considered "announcement of another front" and "assistance" to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. "Previously, Deripaska's positions regarding the SVO were not unambiguous. Now he has made up his mind. He is on that side. This is a stab in the back," Dugin emphasized .

Deripaska called the war in Ukraine "madness" in an interview with the Japanese newspaper Nikkei Asia, which was published on August 8. He criticized Russia's defense spending, which has exceeded 10.7 trillion rubles (about 6% of GDP), and called for an immediate ceasefire. The businessman arrived in Tokyo as a representative of the Russian Federation at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Business Council forum.

Deripaska once called the conflict in Ukraine “madness” — a month after the Russian invasion. After that, the businessman was asked by the Kremlin at least twice to stop criticizing the war, the Financial Times wrote in late 2022. That same year, as a result of lawsuits, Deripaska’s company lost the yacht port and the Imeretinsky hotel complex in Sochi, on which he spent $1 billion.

The head of the Main Communications Directorate (GUS) of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Vadim Shamarin, was detained after his former subordinate, Major General Alexander Ogloblin, convicted of large-scale fraud, testified against him, TASS reports . According to sources, he was released in exchange.

"Ogloblin's sentence was changed from detention in a penal colony to correctional labor after he testified against General Shamarin. This happened in March 2024," the agency's source in law enforcement agencies said.

Meanwhile, on August 9, it became known that at the end of June, the Second Cassation Court of General Jurisdiction overturned the decision to replace Ogloblin's real term with correctional labor. The petition was sent for a new hearing to the Babushkinsky District Court of Moscow. At the same time, the general was not returned to the colony, a TASS source claims .

Serbian president says Russia warns of preparations for Western-backed coup
"Those who dream of achieving something by force will fail," Aleksandar Vucic said

Moscow has warned Belgrade of preparations for mass riots initiated by representatives of Western countries, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told reporters.

Asked about Western preparations for a coup in the country, he said: "Today, we received official information from the Russian Federation."

"The information was provided through formal channels and we are working to sort it out. The Security and Information Agency (Serbia's intelligence body - TASS) is responsible for that; besides, people in the Serbian government and other agencies who specialize on these things are doing their job," Vucic stressed.

"Those who dream of achieving something by force will fail. Serbia is consistently moving forward and they cannot and will not stop it. They will never be able to stop it again. This is my message to everyone, and our people have nothing to worry about," the head of state concluded.

Earlier, the Vecernje Novosti newspaper reported that members of Serbia’s opposition were ready to take advantage of the pro-Western protests in Belgrade planned for August 10 to seize the presidential palace, eliminate the head of state and launch the same scenario as in Ukraine.

Russia’s assessments and opposition’s calls
According to Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, the assessment of the situation in Serbia indicates that malicious forces have resumed attempts to sow instability.

On July 19, Serbia and the European Union signed a memorandum of understanding on strategic partnership in the field of raw materials, which called for environmentally clean production of lithium in Serbia. The Serbian opposition is strongly opposed to possible lithium mining, saying it could put at risk the lives of people and harm the environment, and calling for nationwide protests.

On the night of August 8-9, 2024, near the settlement of Chornomorske in temporarily occupied Crimea, Ukrainian special forces from the Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) conducted a successful operation using the MAGURA V5 marine drone. The operation resulted in the destruction of a Russian high-speed boat of the K-701 “Tunets” project, which had been used by Russian occupiers for patrolling and logistics.

Additionally, the operation caused damage to three other enemy vessels, the types of which are currently being determined. This incident continues a series of attacks on Russian ships of this type: on May 2024, two “Tunets” boats were destroyed and another two were damaged.

The MAGURA V5, a state-of-the-art strike platform recognized by international experts as one of the most effective in the Russo-Ukrainian War, has been notably successful in targeting Russian vessels. To date, these Ukrainian-produced marine drones have targeted 18 enemy ships, of which 9 have been destroyed.
