quote:Russian sabotage threat behind alert at German NATO base, reports say
German security sources tell press agency that Russia planned to use drones against the airfield, which monitors NATO’s eastern theater.
Intelligence on a possible threat of Russian sabotage action against Geilenkirchen NATO air base caused it to temporarily raise its security level last week, German press agency dpa reported Monday, citing German security sources.
A foreign intelligence service gave "serious indication" of preparatory actions for a likely Russian act of sabotage against the NATO base, possibly involving the use of drones, the German newspaper Tagesspiegel reported.
For most of Friday, the air base of the Western defense alliance in North Rhine-Westphalia instated the second-highest security level.
Upon receiving the information, all non-essential personnel were sent home to minimize the potential risk, but air traffic was not disrupted and continued to operate normally. Since there were no incidents at the air base, the security level was reduced to the previous level on Friday afternoon.
About 1,600 people work at the airfield, which stations special aircraft currently used primarily to monitor airspace in NATO’s eastern theater, a spokesperson for the defense alliance said. The base's radar is capable of locating and identifying other aircraft at a range of more than 400 kilometers.
The alert level rise follows a series of recent sabotage threats in Germany. Two weeks ago, the Geilenkirchen base and another military base near Cologne airport were temporarily sealed off as authorities investigated a possible water-supply sabotage. The Cologne-Wahn airbase is a major transportation hub for Ukrainian soldiers trained in Germany.
Earlier, in June, Russian saboteurs set fire to a metal factory belonging to the defense contractor Diehl in Berlin. According to Western security officials, the saboteurs’ goal was to disrupt shipments of critical weapons and ammunition to Ukraine.

The Come Back Alive Foundation has provided four more units with equipment that will help them shoot down Russian drones.
The Foundation has stated that the units received transport, modernized FPV drones, and other equipment for their crews.
The equipment is being transferred as part of the ‘Dronefall’ project. Its goal is to shoot down a thousand Russian reconnaissance UAVs by upgraded FPV drones.
Marines, Special Operations Forces, and air defense units received this equipment.
“UAH 9,358,024 of your contributions made it possible to purchase 6 vehicles for the 38th Separate Marine Brigade, Special Operations Forces and Air Defense units,” the foundation stated.

The Russian Baltic Fleet has equipped the Sovetsk corvette with a Tor-M2KM anti-aircraft system module.
The warship was photographed in the port of Kronstadt.
The Sovetsk, as well as the first ship of the Mytishchi series, were developed as part of the original 22800 project and did not receive specialized anti-aircraft weapons. On these ships, air defense tasks were assigned to AK-630M artillery pieces.
A full-fledged anti-aircraft system was first installed on the Karakurt-class corvettes starting with the third ship in the series, integrating the ship’s version of the Pantsir-ME air defense system.
Probably, based on the experience of this war, in particular in the Black Sea scene, the Russian Navy decided to strengthen the capabilities of these ships and installed an autonomous combat module 9M331MKM of the Tor-M2KM complex on the aft superstructure.

quote:Members of the Wagner Group will soon appear before a Krakow court
The trial of two Russians, members of the Wagner Group, is scheduled to begin in the District Court in Kraków on September 9. The men are accused of participating in an international armed association and working for a foreign intelligence agency.
The indictment was filed in June by the prosecutor of the Małopolska province division for combating organized crime.
Two citizens of the Russian Federation - Alexey T. and Andrey G. - were accused of acting for the benefit of foreign intelligence and of participating in an international armed association aimed at committing terrorist crimes .
As the press office of the District Court in Kraków informed PAP, the first hearing date has been set for September 9 .
They were putting up recruitment stickers
According to the prosecutor's findings, the accused were recruiting in Poland for a military mercenary service prohibited by international law, known as the Wagner Group .
"For this purpose , they posted at least several hundred so-called recruitment stickers in Krakow and Warsaw , which enabled direct contact with other people responsible for recruitment and organization," the National Prosecutor's Office reported.
The defendants were also charged with acting for the intelligence service of the Russian Federation (Foreign Intelligence Service) by waging so-called hybrid warfare , including propaganda activities aimed at destabilizing the political situation in Poland.
The men were detained by Internal Security Agency officers in August 2023 in Warsaw. They face up to 10 years in prison.

Ukraine's budget deficit for 2025 will be $35 billion, but assistance from partners will cover roughly $20 billion, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Aug. 27.
Speaking at the "Ukraine 2024. Independence" forum, Shmyhal clarified that the $20 billion will be covered by the EU's Ukraine Facility program and by assistance from the International Monetary Fund.
"We still have these $15 billion not yet covered by agreements with our partners," the prime minister said.
"Therefore, we understand that we will have to look for them either in our domestic sources, or take some of the $50 billion from the frozen Russian assets, or keep working on how our partners can support us with this missing amount," Shmyhal said.
The Group of Seven (G7) agreed to provide Ukraine with a loan of $50 billion by the end of this year that would be covered by the proceeds of some $300 billion in Russian assets frozen on G7 members' accounts.
Parliament Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk said that the parliament and the government are discussing additional budget revenues, saying that there "will be difficult decisions.

quote:Stoltenberg to convene NATO-Ukraine Council meeting at Ukraine's request
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg will convene a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council on Wednesday, August 28, at Ukraine’s request.
This was announced by NATO spokesperson Farah Dakhlallah, Ukrinform reports, referring to The Guardian.
Dakhlallah noted that the meeting will take place on August 28 following massive Russian strikes on civilians and infrastructure across Ukraine.
The meeting will be held at the level of ambassadors of NATO member states.
“NATO allies have delivered substantial support to Ukraine’s air defence and they are committed to further bolstering Ukraine’s defences,” the Alliance spokesperson added.
According to her, Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umerov is expected to brief allies via video-link on the battlefield situation and priority capability needs.
As reported by Ukrinform, Russia launched at least 127 missiles and 109 Shahed combat drones on Ukraine on August 26.
According to Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, 15 regions were affected by the attack. Damage to energy facilities was reported.

quote:Russian Soldier's Improvised Mine Defense Fails in Explosive Test
Russian soldiers have been resorting to some bizarre and ineffective measures.
A recent video circulating online shows a Russian soldier testing an unconventional method to safeguard against landmines by attaching an empty 5-liter plastic bottle to his boot.
Believe in Kevlar and Plastic
According to Tech the soldier, like others who have tried similar tactics, hoped that this makeshift solution would somehow absorb the impact of an anti-personnel mine. However, the results were as disastrous as expected.
The idea behind this improvised defense is rooted in the belief, shared among some Russian troops, that everyday items like sneakers, Kevlar inserts, or even plastic bottles can offer protection against the deadly power of landmines.
But the test revealed the harsh reality—when the mine exploded, the plastic bottle provided no protection whatsoever. The explosion would likely cause the soldier to lose a limb, with the added danger of plastic fragments turning into additional shrapnel.
Russian Soldiers Missing Equipment
This desperate measure show the extreme conditions Russian soldiers face, often lacking adequate protective gear. The use of such makeshift solutions is inspired by the creativity born out of necessity.
The soldier's experiment is a clear indication of the severe limitations and risks faced by infantrymen who are trying to survive with minimal resources.
In contrast, modern military technology offers much more reliable protection. Armored vehicles, for example, are designed with V-shaped hulls that deflect the blast energy away from the vehicle, significantly increasing the chances of survival for those inside.
Unfortunately, for individual soldiers, such advanced protection is not an option. They must rely on traditional methods like metal detectors, probing the ground with knives, and specialized demining equipment.

quote:Russia's largest oil refinery loses nearly half of its capacity
The explosion that occurred on 26 August at the Omsk oil refinery knocked out nearly half of the plant's capacity.
Source: Reuters
The explosion at Gazprom Neft's Omsk refinery, Russia's largest oil refinery, disabled the CDU-11 primary refining unit.
The CDU-11 is the most productive unit at the plant. The second unit of this type, CDU-10, had already been out of operation due to a fire in early August. Each unit has a capacity of around 8.6 million tonnes of oil per year.
The primary refining units separate oil into key fractions: petrol, kerosene, and diesel.
In 2023, the Omsk oil refinery processed 21.28 million tonnes of oil, producing 5.07 million tonnes of petrol (11.5% of Russia's production), 8.1 million tonnes of diesel fuel (9.2%), and 1.63 million tonnes of jet fuel (15%).
Russian authorities say seven people were taken to hospital as a result of the explosion, one of whom is in a critical condition.
Background:
• In August, Russian oil refineries increased fuel oil exports to the highest level in a year.
• The Russian government is reinstating a ban on petrol exports due to a surge in wholesale prices by many percentage points since the beginning of the year and a shortage of Ai-95 (high-octane) grade petrol.

Key points from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy:
• It cannot be said that Russia is very eager to end the war. The war simply needs to be stopped. When they really want to, they don't launch 230 strikes and kill children.
• There have been 230 strikes. Our system worked, but not everything was intercepted.

Poland can hand over its MiG-29s to Ukraine only after its fleet of combat aircraft is replenished with new aircraft. In particular, the F-35 ordered from the United States.
This was stated by Polish Minister of National Defense Wladyslaw Kosiniak- Kamysz, responding to a request from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to transfer Polish MiGs to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Wirtualna Polska writes, Censor.NET reports.
The Polish defense minister said he understood the Ukrainian president, but emphasized that Poland makes decisions through the prism of its security.
He also added that Warsaw had done everything it could for Ukraine.
At the same time, Kosiniak- Kamysz emphasized that Poland must maintain its defense capabilities, and this is an absolute priority.
"I know that Ukraine needs a lot of weapons, but our partners from Ukraine must also understand that the Polish state must maintain its capabilities. And this is a priority for me as Minister of Defense," the official said.
In the context of the possibility of transferring Polish MiG-29s to Ukraine, Kosiniak-Kamysz noted that such decisions can be made only after the Polish Air Force is reinforced with new aircraft. In particular, the F-35s previously ordered from the United States.
He also said that MiG-29s are currently performing a mission to protect Polish airspace.
"Only after receiving new aircraft will it be possible to dispose of old aircraft, such as MiG-29s, which are still being used, among other things, to carry out missions to protect Polish airspace. Then we will make a decision," Kosiniak-Kamysz said.

China kan wel meer willen met zijn vredesplan die vooral gunstig is voor Rusland.quote:China calls for more support for its Ukraine peace plan created with Brazil
China called on Tuesday for more countries to endorse its peace plan for Ukraine, after a round of diplomacy with Indonesia, Brazil and South Africa to support its plan.
Envoy Li Hui called the three countries representative of the Global South and “important forces in promoting world peace” who share similar positions with China. “They have maintained communication with both Russia and Ukraine and stay committed to a political settlement to the crisis through dialogue and negotiation,” said Li, China’s special envoy for Eurasian affairs.
China and Brazil issued a joint peace plan earlier this year that calls for a peace conference with both Ukraine and Russia and no expansion of the battlefield. China and Russia were absent from a peace summit hosted in Switzerland in June. Russia was not invited while China chose not to attend.
Initially, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said China had pressured other countries to not attend the peace summit. But since then, Ukraine has recognized China’s role in a peace process, given its close relationship with Russia, with the Ukrainian foreign minister paying a visit to the country in July, the first since the war began.

quote:Russia moves 90% of military planes beyond ATACMS range, US official claims
Russia has reportedly transferred 90% of its military aircraft to bases outside the reach of long-range ATACMS, a United States official told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in remarks published Aug. 27.
The U.S.-made Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) have a range of approximately 165-300 kilometers. The U.S. first supplied long-range ATACMS to Ukraine in March of 2024.
Russia has responded to Ukraine's acquisition of ATACMS by moving most of its aircraft beyond the missiles' range, the unnamed official told the WSJ, citing a new U.S. intelligence report.
With 90% of the planes out of reach, striking deep inside Russia with ATACMS makes little strategic sense, the official claimed.
U.S. policy currently prohibits Ukraine from using American-supplied weapons to attack targets deep within Russian territory. Kyiv has lobbied Washington to lift these restrictions and allow Ukrainian forces to strike airbases and other military targets beyond the border zone.
The U.S. official also told the WSJ that Ukrainian forces may have better success striking Russian airbases using its own long-range drones.
Ukraine has been scaling up domestic defense production in order to strike key targets in Russia without regard to Western restrictions. The Palianytsia, a newly developed homegrown missile-drone, was designed to strike Russian airfields.
As Kyiv looks for ways to destabilize Russia's military assets, Russian forces over the past two days hit Ukraine with mass attacks. Russia on Aug. 26 launched over 200 missiles and drones as part of its largest-ever aerial attack throughout the full-scale war.

The United States has increased its intelligence-gathering efforts along the Finnish-Russian border, deploying both manned and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the region.
These aircraft were visible on the Flightradar24 online tracking map on August 25 and 26.
On August 25, an RQ-4 Global Hawk, a sophisticated reconnaissance drone from the U.S. Air Force, was spotted conducting surveillance near the border. The drone made several loops, focusing on areas near the Russian city of St. Petersburg and extending its monitoring toward Murmansk.
The following day, August 26, a manned RC-135U Combat Sent reconnaissance aircraft was sent for similar operations, performing multiple circles in the area.
The RC-135U is part of a series of Boeing reconnaissance aircraft used for gathering and analyzing intelligence, with this version specifically designed to collect data on enemy radar systems.

Russian authorities have started purchasing Chinese Dongfeng armored vehicles. A new armored vehicle from China was spotted in Moscow.
A photo of the armored vehicle was posted on the Russian Telegram channel “Busandall,” which stated that the Chinese armored vehicle was on the balance sheet of the Moscow metro.
The armored vehicle, model Dongfeng EQ2091XFB, featured the logo of the Moscow subway and was painted black.
At the same time, the armored vehicle does not have the Chinese automobile company Dongfeng Motor logo.
The vehicle was transferred to Russia with an armored turret, usually equipped with a heavy machine gun.

Zou wel handig zijn als jij dan met een uitleg komt waarom ik niet weet wat ik beweer en waarop ik hoop.

Sterker nog het is juist Rusland die het westen probeert te chanteren met hun nucleaire antwoord hier op.
Ik vraag me af hoe dat chantage kan zijn, Oekraïne die verzoekt om wapens dieper in Rusland te mogen gebruiken.quote:Russia Updates Nuclear Strategy After Accusing Ukraine of Blackmail
He warned that Western nuclear powers are "playing with fire".
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov declared on Tuesday that Ukraine's recent demands for Western countries to allow strikes deep into Russian territory using Western-supplied weapons amount to blackmail.
Adjusting Nuclear Doctrine
According to Ziare Lavrov emphasized that such requests from Ukraine are not only provocative but also represent a dangerous escalation in the ongoing conflict.
Lavrov further stated that Russia is actively "adjusting" its nuclear doctrine in response to these developments, signaling potential changes in how the country might deploy its nuclear capabilities.
He warned that Western nuclear powers are "playing with fire" by supporting Ukraine's military ambitions, suggesting that the current situation could have grave consequences.
An All Time Low
In a separate statement, Lavrov addressed the strained relations between Russia and France, describing them as being at their "lowest point" following the recent arrest of Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, at a Paris airport.
Durov, who was born in Russia but also holds French citizenship, was detained as part of an investigation by French authorities into various criminal activities, including child sexual abuse imagery, drug trafficking, and fraudulent transactions on the Telegram messaging platform.
The Kremlin's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, commented on the charges against Durov, calling them "very serious" and expressing concern that, if not substantiated with significant evidence, they would be viewed in Russia as an attempt to curb freedom of communication.
