RUSSIA IS BEING INVADED…LITERALLY  Ukrainian Forces Have Captured 1000 Square Kilometers

The Pressing Question: Why Did Ukraine Decide To Invade Russia? For some reason, the media seems to be downplaying the fact that Ukraine has actually invaded Russia. This is serious, with loss of life on both sides. Ukraine has managed to break through and keep attacking along the new Kursk front.

One reason the media might not be covering this well is that Ukraine is not celebrating every small victory as it usually does. Normally, President Zelenskyy would post on Instagram about capturing towns or bridges, but he hasn’t been doing that this time.

To get accurate information about this situation, people are now turning to Russian military bloggers and journalists who are posting updates on platforms like Telegram or X. According to Zelenskyy, the reason for this invasion is that Ukraine wants to bring the fight to the "aggressors," meaning Russia.

Russia is dealing with a new tactic from Ukrainian forces. Instead of retreating or staying in one place, when Ukrainian forces lose a battle, they quickly move to a new area. This makes it hard for Russia to figure out what Ukraine's overall plan is.

🗺️ Middle East: IRAN

• Iran has announced that August 15th will be the day they decide whether to retaliate. On Thursday, delegations are scheduled to meet with Hamas to discuss a possible peace deal. However, Hamas has already said they will attend the meeting. Meanwhile, as I write this, Antony Blinken has announced that he will not attend due to a threat of an attack. If this is the case, unfortunately, we might be expecting something bad to happen.

📊Some Good News For Sudan

SUDANS 16 MONTH WAR COULD END VERY SOON

Fresh peace talks aimed at ending Sudan's 16-month war have started, even though one side, the national army, is not participating. The U.S., which is organizing the talks, emphasized that the discussions must proceed because the millions suffering in Sudan "cannot afford to wait."

The conflict between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has resulted in thousands of deaths and displaced around 10 million people. The army's absence from Wednesday's talks dashed hopes for a ceasefire, as they refused to attend due to the RSF not meeting the terms agreed upon in Saudi Arabia last year. Specifically, the RSF had not fulfilled important conditions of the Jeddah Declaration, including withdrawing its fighters from residential areas and public facilities.

🔝 FUN FACT

Ukrainian soldiers in Russia have begun sharing their own reviews online about the condition and status of various facilities in Kursk, Russia.
