Ukraine carried out a large-scale attack on the Rostov region during the night. Drones hit, among other things, a warehouse belonging to Ozon. According to the company, a small fire started which they were able to extinguish quickly. Operations are currently down. A warehouse belonging to DNS (a home appliance and electronics retailer) was also hit and caught fire in the city of Aksay, where employees had to be evacuated. In the village of Leninskoye, another warehouse belonging to the Russian chain Chizhik was attacked.
Likely more targets were hit, but so far it is unclear how extensive the damage caused by the attacks is.

“During the night of August 29 (from 18:00 on August 28), the enemy attacked with a sea target missile of the Oniks type, a ballistic missile of the Iskander-M type from the temporarily occupied Crimea, and 267 attack drones of the Shahed types (including jet-powered variants), Gerbera, S8000 “Banderol,” and decoy drones of the “Parodiya” type.
The drones were launched from the directions of Kursk, Oryol, Millerovo, and Primorsko-Akhtarsk in Russia, as well as from the temporarily occupied Donetsk and Hvardiiske in the temporarily occupied Crimea. The air attack was countered by the air force, air defense missile units, electronic warfare units, unmanned systems, and mobile fire groups within Ukraine’s defense forces.
💥 According to preliminary data, by 08:30 air defense had shot down or neutralized 233 enemy drones of the Shahed, Gerbera, and other types in the northern, southern, eastern, and central parts of the country.
Hits from enemy airborne attack weapons were recorded at 15 locations, and the fall of shot-down targets or wreckage was recorded at four locations. Additionally, some of the enemy’s attack weapons did not reach their targets. Information about these is still being clarified.
The attack is ongoing and several enemy drones remain in the airspace. Follow safety instructions!”

Don't forget to donate, Ukraine's cause is ours! Support Ukraine!

Good morning

Continued heavy losses for the Russian devils
Good morning!

** More than 113,000 Russians cross into Georgia in a week as fears grow of new mobilization, Politico reports
More than 113,000 Russians crossed into Georgia via the Upper Lars checkpoint last week amid growing fears the Kremlin is preparing to announce a new mobilization wave, Politico reported on Aug. 28.
The spike in border crossings comes as the Kremlin undertakes increasingly aggressive recruitment measures, expands data collection on military reservists, and broadens the mandate for the National Guard, all of which have fueled speculation of an imminent call-up.**

Yes, you feel a bit gleeful when you see those queues.
Strange that he locks them. He should want to reach as many people as possible.

Disgusting subject that termite. But I console myself with the fact that this follows the laws of war, which the Russian scum’s use of thermite definitely has not!
It may not even be a single one of those who have passed that has done so to avoid mobilization. But there has still been an increase.
Tactical adjustment.
RU now builds covered spaces with only a small entrance because of the drone weapon.
So UA sends in a drone with a thermite or other incendiary through the opening that sets fire to the cloth they have over the opening and other things.
Pretty smart, scary death
Have been thinking about whether it wouldn’t be smart to pack some cluster bombs when they attack raff etc. Even if the drone’s explosion doesn’t manage to set the target on fire, the termite might do it.
It would be interesting to hear from someone with knowledge in the field why it has not been done. There may be many good reasons why it is not possible, or perhaps no one has thought of it.
Good, hope they succeed! ✊️
It was a Russian attack on an ammunition depot that caused the deaths of at least 37 people in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha. This was confirmed by the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy according to Reuters. The attacks began on Friday evening and continued throughout the night. Most of the deaths are believed to have been caused by explosions during the fire at the depot, which was located near civilian buildings. The reactions to the incident are strong in Ukraine. Among others, Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyy reacts with anger and says that it is illegal to place military depots so close to civilian buildings and demands that those responsible be brought to justice.
– It is likely that those responsible for the ammunition depot being at the location, and those responsible for what was stored there, will have a hard time, says former Lieutenant Colonel Jörgen Elfving to TV4 News.
Off-Topic, WARNING for Trump!
Johan, even if you collect everything related to Trump, skip this time! 😉
“Ecstasy pills shaped like Donald Trump’s face have started to spread in the Netherlands, reports Politico. The pills are potentially deadly and should not be taken ‘under any circumstances,’ warns the Trimbos Institute, a drug and addiction research institute in Utrecht. They contain very high levels of the substance PMMA, which can cause life-threatening overheating in the body. It is unclear how widespread the circulation of the pills is, but ‘several’ testing sites have received them, according to the Trimbos Institute.”

Now only a stool pill variant is needed as well.
🤣👍
🔥 On the northern borders, border guards’ FPV drones continue to destroy the enemy
Fighters of the Izmail detachment hit enemy manpower, an artillery installation, a vehicle, as well as a communications antenna and enemy ammunition.
If Russia does not escalate, the country will probably collapse into internal conflict in some form.
UA causes too much damage.
Putin can control a lot but a military or popular uprising – no chance.
The mobilization is a good opportunity.
In the head of Vladimir Putin. Putin is one of those street-smart bastards who always believes he can find a way out. He thinks he sees what others do not see. He is the great strategist. An escalation can give him new cards in hand, at least in the short term. He is convinced of that. It provides new opportunities and new star constellations that are supposed to benefit Russia. He can at least buy time. Better than nothing. It is like a play by Shakespeare. The prince falls in the end.
I don’t think Putin meets the criteria for street smart. Compared to Lukashenko, he is at a disadvantage against the population and against Russia. Lukashenko has previously managed to play Russia and the EU against each other, and he “happens” to leak secret news sometimes and is deliberately a bit of a clown because it serves his purpose.
Putin has constantly had violent capital behind him. From the KGB, from the city, and ultimately the state (which is himself). He is more of a bully or mafioso. He has not played the West, rather the West has been so naive in its longing and greed for Russian business and assets that we have excused all warning signs. There have not been many positive signs.
Putin is probably not stupid, but he has never needed to show any street smartness.
Is Mette Marit queen now?
Good question. Sonja is still alive after all
Both are queens apparently I read.
If our king dies, Victoria will become queen. Will Silvia become the “queen mother” like Queen Mary in England?
Yes, but only Mette-Marit is “Her Majesty the Queen,” Sonja is now simply “the Queen.”
Something coming up, exactly what is the question 😀
” Ukraine has intelligence that Russia is planning new ground attacks against Kyiv and Chernihiv, reports Politico.
According to Zelenskyy’s deputy chief of staff Pavlo Palisa, Russian military leaders have been tasked by the Kremlin to plan and carry out the attacks.
So far, there is no evidence that the Russian military has begun any preparations, according to Palisa.
According to Ukraine and Western intelligence sources, Russia is planning new mobilizations after the “election” to the State Duma on September 18-20. This is firmly denied by the Kremlin.”

Freudian slip? The Russian bastards usually compare themselves and their shitty country to bears.
“In a strange animal analogy, Vladimir Putin tries to justify the war of aggression against Ukraine, writes the independent exile Russian Meduza.
The Russian president asked a teacher from Belgorod, who had visited the North Pole, if he had seen any polar bears there. When the teacher answered yes, Putin said:
– There are orcas there that hunt the bears and eat them in a flash. They approach in packs and, boom, tear the bears apart.
– That is the food chain. Children should be taught about this, so they understand what kind of world we live in and why we are carrying out our special military operation, he continued.”
https://omni.se/a/zObnew
RU is bombing Ukraine and Kiev with drones daily now, instead of every 3-4 days it is around the clock.
Russian media is also inventing a casus belli against Europe, we are at war with them, we are mobilizing, we will attack them and all that.
Russia has made all preparations to attack us now, if they do it is still a question until it is no longer one.
Putin only understands strength and I think a threshold in the Baltics would be good now but the Baltics will probably mobilize instead. According to themselves, they should have a few hundred thousand under arms within 24 hours.
To gamble on that short madman not getting the feeling is taking too much risk even for risk-willing Europe. Now it is no longer Ukraine standing between them and us, it is ourselves.
A quite exciting journey Mette Marit has made, one must admit, but the Norwegian royal family has been a bit livelier than ours, the new king’s sister has probably married a shaman if I remember correctly, and she herself has not been very princess-like at all.
Mette Marit’s son is also in prison for all sorts of crimes, isn’t he?
Our royal family has taken its role a bit more seriously, and Victoria has found her place.
Don’t envy S and M, both are leaking voters to V, MP, SD and due to their respective cooperation with the parties they are part of.
Mona needs 4% so the parliamentary election became easy 😀
Putin might possibly deploy nuclear weapons over Kiev to try to scare Europe.
It is an option.
That bastard has come a long way
Sure he can, but I personally believe there is a fairly clear red line. Then Russia will have the whole world against it, possibly only North Korea and Iran remaining. Not even Trump can justify letting a madman with nuclear weapons continue.
Besides, it is more of a psychological weapon than an actually usable one. It is much more effective to wipe out a city with small precision weapons than a Tsar Bomba.
😂
Tomorrow you can expect today’s post to come late.

Ok, answered the roads, but it will take time.
