🇮🇹🇺🇦 Made in Italy. Tested every day on Ukraine’s most dangerous roads. Italian Puma armoured personnel carriers are now serving with Ukraine’s 81st Airmobile Slobozhanska Brigade. Ukraine received the vehicles from Italy as part of international military assistance — and today they are performing some of the most dangerous logistics missions of the war. Pumas carry Ukrainian paratroopers and ammunition to frontline positions and evacuate wounded soldiers while operating under constant threat from Russian FPV drones and artillery. Built for mobile and airmobile forces, the Puma can reach speeds of over 100 km/h. Its relatively compact profile also helps it move through narrow roads and settlements while making it less conspicuous to enemy aerial reconnaissance than heavier vehicles. But Ukraine’s battlefield changes every platform. With FPV drones now among the primary threats to frontline logistics, the Italian vehicles are being adapted with electronic warfare systems an

💥 Ukraine hit two Kalibr missile carriers in Novorossiysk — the Black Sea Fleet’s last supposedly safe harbour. The SBU has released detailed damage confirmation from the August 12 strike on the Novorossiysk naval base and Krasnodar region’s port and oil infrastructure. Three Russian warships confirmed hit: 💥 Frigate “Admiral Essen” — Kalibr missile carrier 💥 Frigate “Admiral Makarov” — Kalibr missile carrier 💥 Patrol ship “Vasily Bykov” Also struck: 💥 30N6E radar from an S-300 air defence system 💥 Mobile fire group at Pier No. 2 💥 Tunnel portal of the “Hrushova” oil depot — “Sheskharis” terminal 💥 Infrastructure at Piers No. 3, No. 6, and No. 7 The weapons used: Ukrainian UAVs, “Palianytsia” jet drones, “Neptune” missiles, and strike systems launched from naval platforms. The two frigates matter beyond their price tags. Admiral Essen and Admiral Makarov are Kalibr launch platforms — the ships that fire cruise missiles at Ukrainian cities from the Black Sea. Eve

The Russian threat does not always arrive in uniform. Sometimes it lives next door. A case uncovered in Dnipro is a warning worth understanding far beyond Ukraine. Ukrainian prosecutors say three members of the same family are now in custody over alleged cooperation with Russia’s FSB. According to investigators, a woman previously detained on suspicion of treason received tasks directly from an FSB representative. Her mother and brother allegedly helped her collect intelligence on three defence-industrial facilities in Dnipro. Their role was particularly revealing. After Russian strikes in 2025, investigators say the suspects went to observe the targeted facilities, documented the consequences of the attacks and collected additional information about their operations. That information was then allegedly passed to Russia through the daughter. The brother is also accused of communicating independently with a Russian intelligence representative — including sending precise

Yevgeniy Khmara: Russia will burn. Ukraine’s goal is to switch off Russia’s war machine Acting Defence Minister Yevgeniy Khmara has outlined the logic behind Ukraine’s expanding deep-strike campaign: systematically target the infrastructure that allows Russia to sustain its war. Military logistics. The fleet. Fuel and energy infrastructure. Industrial facilities supporting the war effort. The recent operation in Novorossiysk offers a glimpse of what this approach looks like. Ukraine synchronized missiles, jet-powered drones and naval drones in a combined strike — forcing Russian defences to deal with different threats arriving as part of the same operation. “Russia proved unable to counter the synchronized employment of Ukrainian strike systems,” Khmara said. For Ukraine, the important development is not one successful strike. It is the growing ability of different components of the Defence Forces — together with Ukrainian manufacturers — to operate as a single strike ec

A Ukrainian Su-27 destroyed a Russian command post — with the drone operators inside it. The 39th Tactical Aviation Brigade named after Hero of Ukraine Oleksandr Dovhach confirmed the strike. “The crew employed two guided aerial bombs. The target was completely destroyed by the impact, and the enemy forces inside were eliminated.” Why this target mattered: “The loss of such a facility disrupts command and coordination of Russian units, and the elimination of UAV operators reduces the enemy’s ability to conduct reconnaissance and employ drones.” Two guided bombs. One command post. A hole in Russian coordination on that stretch of front — and a group of drone operators who won’t be flying anything against Ukrainian positions again. Ukraine’s approach to Russian drone warfare hasn’t changed: don’t just intercept what’s in the air. Destroy the people launching it, and the buildings they work from.

⚡️🇺🇦 26 settlements liberated. 745 square kilometers back under Ukrainian control. Ukraine’s Air Assault Forces, operating alongside Assault Forces, broke through Russian defences on the Oleksandrivka direction — an operation running since January 29 under the overall command of the Commander-in-Chief and General Staff. The territorial breakdown: ☑️ Dnipropetrovsk region — 12 settlements ☑️ Donetsk region — 10 settlements ☑️ Zaporizhzhia region — 4 settlements Air Assault units took 20 settlements: Tolstoi, Novokhatske, Hrushivske, Zirka, Zelenyi Hai, Piddubne, Myrne, Pryvillia, Novohryhorivka, Voskresenka, Oleksandrohrad, and Yalta among them. Assault Forces liberated six more: Rybne, Maliivka, Sichneve, Ternove, Novoheorhiivka, and Zaporizke. Beyond the advance itself, Ukrainian units cleared over 300 square kilometers of rear areas where Russian sabotage and assault groups were operating. Air Assault Forces Commander Major General Oleh Apostol on what made it work:

Ukraine’s strikes on Wildberries warehouses didn’t just burn buildings — they collapsed a 1.3 trillion ruble financial pyramid — FISU. At least 14 logistics hubs destroyed. 20% of the company’s warehouse capacity gone in a matter of weeks. Wildberries is Russia’s largest marketplace — annual turnover equal to roughly 3% of national GDP. Here’s what the campaign actually did to it: Direct losses: over 100 billion rubles, potentially 200 billion in the pessimistic scenario. Total financing need: 1.3 trillion rubles — money the company must borrow simply to stay solvent. Turnover: already down at least 25% as sellers abandon the platform, losing goods worth hundreds of billions of rubles overnight. Why the damage compounds: Wildberries ran on a simple model — collect payment from buyers immediately, pay sellers weeks later. In between, that money funded operating costs and discounts. The model works only while turnover keeps growing. Once it falls, the pyramid folds inward: a

🇺🇦🇪🇺 Ukraine and the EU are handing out €120,000 grants to defence startups — with up to €750,000 in follow-on funding for the best ones. Applications are now open for DefTech Forges, a series of offline competitions for selected defence startups under the European grant programme BraveTech EU. Five challenge categories: ☑️ Hardware-software systems for missile and UAV guidance ☑️ Autonomous strike UAVs ☑️ Modular UAV systems ☑️ Detection systems ☑️ EW-resistant UAV platforms and flight controllers Every one of those five categories maps directly onto a problem Ukrainian units are solving on the front line right now — jamming-resistant flight controllers, autonomous terminal guidance when the signal drops, detection systems that see what’s coming before it arrives. This is what the Brave International @BRAVE1ua framework was built for: joint funding, joint governance, open access for both Ukrainian and foreign developers, and mandatory validation in Ukraine through th

💥Ukraine struck Novorossiysk overnight — the last major stronghold of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. Three systems, one coordinated operation, 300+ kilometers from the front line: — “Palianytsia” jet-powered drones — “Neptune” missiles — Naval unmanned surface vessels President Zelenskyy confirmed the results: “Our jet drones ‘Palianytsia,’ ‘Neptune’ missiles, and naval unmanned systems accurately hit designated targets. Confirmed hits on air defence positions, piers, and seaport infrastructure.” The significance is in the geography. Ukraine drove Russia’s Black Sea Fleet out of Sevastopol in 2023–2024. Novorossiysk became the fallback — the place Russia moved its most valuable ships to keep them beyond Ukrainian reach. That calculation just failed. Again. Air defence positions destroyed. Piers hit. Port infrastructure struck. “The occupying fleet and all the infrastructure supporting it will not be safe as long as Russian aggression continues. The war must be stopped, and all reasonable proposals for diplomacy are on the table.” Ukraine has no significant surface fleet. It has jet drones, cruise missiles, and naval drones — and it has now pushed Russia’s navy out of every port it thought was secure.

Why does one Ukrainian artillery brigade have almost no AWOL problem? The answer from the 40th Artillery Brigade is surprisingly low-tech: Talk to people. Individually. Almost every day. And don’t make promises you can’t keep. Vasyl, an officer responsible for personnel psychological support, says soldiers often won’t discuss family problems, exhaustion or personal crises in front of their comrades. So he talks to them one-on-one. “You need to know everything about the soldier: where he lives, whether he has a family, children, parents. When you’re alone, he opens up more.” The culture is deliberately informal. There is less “Sir, Lieutenant” and more first-name, soldier-to-soldier conversation about how the day went, what went wrong and what needs fixing. And when someone asks for help, Vasyl writes it down. He deliberately avoids saying “I’ll fix it” when he cannot guarantee that outcome. Instead, he involves commanders and other specialists and tries every realis

⚡️$15 BILLION That’s how much Russian military equipment Lasar’s Group says it has destroyed. To put that number into perspective: 🔥 200 million barrels of oil. 🔥 100 of the largest Wildberries warehouses. 🔥 Two Nord Stream pipelines. 🔥 Four Crimean Bridges. That is the estimated value of Russian equipment destroyed by Lasar’s Group of Ukraine’s National Guard — a new record for the unit. Behind the number is the evolution of Ukraine’s drone warfare: crews working around the clock, constantly adapting technology and tactics to stay ahead of Russian forces. But the unit marks the milestone with something more important than the dollar figure: the memory of every Lasar’s Group soldier who gave their life for Ukraine’s independence. $15 billion is the number. The people who made it possible are the story. Source: Lasar’s Group, National Guard of Ukraine, August 11, 2026. #Ukraine #LasarsGroup #NationalGuard #DroneWarfare #DefTech #UkraineWar

“For a foreigner, Donbas is another planet.” Ukraine’s military includes volunteers from around the world. But bringing a foreigner into the Armed Forces is not as simple as handing them a rifle and signing a contract. Capt. Oleksii Bezhevets commands a UAV company in the Flash unmanned systems battalion of Ukraine’s 28th Mechanized Brigade. His unit includes volunteers from 22 countries — Americans, Europeans, Brazilians and others, ranging from roughly 18 to almost 60 years old. Some arrived with no military experience. Others had served in Iraq, Afghanistan or in their national armed forces. And even the veterans tell him: “We have experience, but your war is completely different.” In Flash, foreigners become drone pilots, navigators, drivers and eventually commanders. English has become a working language at the command post. But first they have to adapt. A volunteer arriving from a peaceful country enters an environment where danger does not end when the mission

Russia is not only trying to destroy Ukraine’s infrastructure. It is targeting the infrastructure of Ukrainian memory. In the summer of 2026 alone, Russian strikes destroyed or damaged at least 9.75 million Ukrainian books. Not in one attack. Across the entire publishing ecosystem. On July 2, a Russian strike destroyed a logistics warehouse holding around 800,000 BookChef books. The same attack damaged a printing house producing school textbooks. On July 19, another strike destroyed around 250,000 books belonging to Knyholav and damaged or destroyed roughly 600,000 more at one of Ukraine’s major printing facilities. Then came August 1. Russian drones struck the shared logistics center of Ranok and KnyhoLand in Kharkiv. Around 8 million books burned — some 28,000 different titles, including approximately 600,000 school textbooks. Four days later, Russia struck BookChef again — this time its reserve warehouse — destroying more than 100,000 additional books. And this is

156,000 m² burned out: Ukrainian drones hit Wildberries logistics hub in Voronezh A major Wildberries logistics hub in Voronezh was hit by Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, triggering a massive fire that reportedly burned through the facility. According to USF commander Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, the site wasn’t just moving ordinary marketplace parcels. The facility was being used to supply Russian occupation forces with military and dual-use goods — including FPV drones and components. The scale matters: according to open-source data, the logistics complex covered roughly 156,000 square metres. Videos from the area showed a major fire engulfing the site after the strike. Brovdi’s summary was considerably shorter: “Burned out at work.” The strike is another example of Ukraine pushing the drone war beyond individual weapons systems — toward the logistics and commercial infrastructure feeding Russia’s war machine. #Ukraine #DroneWarfare #UnmannedSystems #Russia #Logistics #FPV #WildBerriesOnFire

🔥20 km behind the front wasn’t far enough: Azov drones burned a Russian assault convoy Russian troops apparently thought assembling dozens of vehicles almost 20 kilometres behind the line of contact gave them enough distance to prepare an assault. Ukraine’s 12th Special Forces Brigade “Azov” had a different assessment. Drone operators detected the concentration before the Russian assault force could reach Ukrainian positions — and struck the vehicles while they were still in the rear. The result: Russian transport burning nearly 20 km from the frontline and an assault disrupted before it could properly begin. But the distance is arguably the more important part of the story. The battlefield’s kill zone keeps expanding. Areas once treated as tactical rear are increasingly within reach of drones capable of detecting, tracking and striking troops and logistics before they reach the front. “Our unmanned systems battalion proves once again: the kill zone will extend even deepe
