Mooi, dat de Russen nu in paniek beginnen te raken langs een groot deel van het front.

En natuurlijk hoop ik natuurlijk gewoon dat er ook daadwerkelijk aanvallen op volgen. Gewoon druk blijven uitoefenen op de Russen.

Het gaat om de dreiging. Als de Russen het geloven dat Oekraïne een aanval in die richting gaat uitvoeren moeten zij daar troepen en materieel heen sturen. Troepen en materieel die zij van het front daar weg hebben gehaald om Kursk te versterken.

En wij weten niet in hoeverre Rusland het front daar heeft verslapt voor het versterken van Kursk. Dus het hoeft geen grootschalige aanval te zijn. Maar slechts een aanval groot genoeg voor Rusland om de boel te moeten versterken.

Vergeet niet het is Russische propaganda die dit in paniek aan het melden is.

Zij zijn er in elk geval bang voor. Net zoals de soldaten die Russische propaganda volgen van bijvoorbeeld Rybar dat ook zullen zijn. Alleen het psychologische effect hiervan zal al mooi zijn. Laat die Russen er 's nachts maar voor wakker liggen.

Al die meldingen nu over grote delen van het front over een Oekraïense dreiging is alleen maar gunstig voor Oekraïne.

emergency in Russian region after Ukraine attack
Assault comes around third Ukrainian independence day since war broke out

Vladimir Putin has declared a state of emergency in the Voronezh region of Russia after Ukraine forces struck an ammunition warehouse overnight.

Ukraine's military intelligence directorate claimed to have blown up a warehouse storing 5,000 tonnes of ammunition in the region's Ostrogozhsky district, AP has reported.

Regional governor Aleksandr Gusev said that two people were injured in the blast on Friday night and that 200 were evacuated.

There has been some discrepancy over how the ignition came about, with some claiming it was the result of falling ammunition while others said it was a direct target.

A state of emergency has since been declared by Russian officials.

Zo simpel is het niet. Bij de Oekraïners zal precies hetzelfde aan de hand zijn. Daarnaast kan 'dreigen' ook negatief uitwerken op je eigen manschappen als het steeds bij dreigen blijft.

Crew member of Sounion tanker wounded in Houthi attack
The Yemeni source interviewed by TASS could not name the nationality of the wounded crew member
DUBAI, August 22. /TASS/. A crew member of the Sounion tanker was wounded as a result of Wednesday’s attack by Yemen’s rebel Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement, an official from Yemen’s internationally recognized government has told TASS.

The Greek-flagged Sounion tanker was attacked in the Red Sea on Wednesday morning. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Coordination Center (UKMTO) reported that the incident occurred 77 nautical miles west of the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah. According to the UK coordination center, the vessel was approached by two boats carrying around 15 armed men in total. A shootout between the attackers and the crew ensued, the ship was hit by four unidentified shells and went out of control. Later, the captain notified UKMTO about another attack, which resulted in a fire on board the vessel.

The Yemeni official told TASS that a crew member of Sounion was wounded in the latest attack.

"The Houthis, who approached the ship on a third boat, opened gunfire and, presumably, fired a grenade launcher, inflicting wounds on a crew member," he said.

The Yemeni source interviewed by TASS could not name the nationality of the wounded crew member.

Greek company Delta Tankers owns the ship. Greece’s Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Insular Policy said the crew comprises 23 Philippine nationals and two Russians, adding that none of them was wounded in the incident.

However, the Houthis have not yet claimed responsibility for the attack on Sounion. Their last confirmed attack on a commercial ship took place on August 7.

Following the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis warned that they would launch strikes on Israeli territory while barring ships associated with the Jewish state from passing through the waters of the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait until Tel Aviv ceased its military operation against Palestinian radical group Hamas in the embattled enclave. Since mid-November, dozens of civilian ships have been attacked by the Houthi in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

Ukraine Launches New Maritime Security Strategy to Safeguard Economic Future
The newly signed Maritime Security Strategy goes beyond military defense, addressing crucial economic, trade, and environmental issues to strengthen Ukraine’s sovereignty and global standing.

Ukraine, with its extensive 2,759.2 km coastline—the longest in the Azov-Black Sea region—has crafted its Maritime Security Strategy in direct response to the ongoing Russian aggression and the problems it has created.

The document’s title might be misleading—it’s not just about coastal defense. The strategy encompasses a wide range of issues, including demining, exploring the economic potential of the continental shelf, agricultural export logistics, environmental safety, and more. It extends beyond the Azov and Black Seas, considering Ukraine’s rivers and the potential for involvement in other global waterways that support its strategic interests.

Russian Troops Captured One Of Ukraine’s Dutch Armored Vehicles, Rode It Back Into Battle—And Promptly Got Killed
The Russians are increasingly desperate for armored vehicles.

^{A destroyed YPR-765 in Russian service.Via social media}

In 1977, a consortium of Dutch companies led by U.S. firm FMC began building the first of more than 2,000 YPR-765 tracked armored personnel carriers for the Dutch army.

Thirty-five years later, the Dutch retired the last of the 15-ton, 10-person APCs. And 10 years after that, The Netherlands pledged the first of 269 surplus YPR-765s to Ukraine.

In the 29 months since Russia widened its war on Ukraine, Russian troops have captured at least five intact YPR-765s. And on or shortly before Friday, the Russians rode one of their ex-Dutch, ex-Ukrainian APCs back into battle in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast.

Ukrainian forces hit the YPR-765, burning it and killing at least two Russians. A Ukrainian drone observed the gruesome aftermath.

Who Are the “TikTok Soldiers” Using Occupied Ukrainian Cities As Their Backdrop?

The influence of social media has broken into every aspect of modern life, including warfare. Russia’s full-scale invasion has generated a plethora of content created by soldiers both near and on the frontlines, ranging from the heartbreaking to the absurd. One trend, however, has drawn significant criticism: Chechen "Akhmat" soldiers posting videos that purport to show active combat but are often revealed to be cartoonishly staged.

A quick scroll through your social media feed will likely reveal daily content ranging from FPV drone strikes on Russian vehicles and GoPro combat footage to TikTok challenges inside trenches. For Chechens, social media seemed to be a powerful tool to craft their message, as their president and military were early to adopt it into their strategies.

The term "TikTok soldier" emerged during the war in Ukraine to describe a type of soldier who uses the battlefield primarily as a backdrop for social media content rather than engaging in actual combat. This label has almost exclusively been applied to Chechen soldiers from the Akhmat Battalion, a unit within the Russian National Guard.

These soldiers have been criticized for posting staged or exaggerated videos of their purported “combat activities” on platforms like TikTok, which are often dismissed as poorly thought-out propaganda rather than genuine military action. The videos sometimes require a sense of suspended disbelief to receive the message.
