The defeat of the russian attack trying to break through the defense of the 79th Ukrainian paratroopers in the Kurakhiv direction

Despite the insane amount of enemy equipment, all the enemy's efforts were again multiplied by zero: during the battle, our soldiers hit 12 armored combat vehicles, 8 Russian tanks, 9 motorbikes and buggies. 36 occupiers were destroyed, another 32 were wounded.

These shots show the brilliant combat work of our gunners, operators of attack drones, anti-tankers, sappers, and our heroic infantry.

Crippled Russian stormtroopers with their limbs torn off, who felt the fury of the Taurian paratroopers and rushed to crawl from the battlefield in panic - this is what should be shown to everyone who is still going to take part in their "Special Military Operation".

Hungary's Eased Visa Restrictions for Russians Raise Security Concerns, Says EPP Leader Manfred Weber

Manfred Weber, head of the European People's Party, has raised serious national security concerns over Hungary's recent decision to ease visa restrictions for Russian visitors. In a letter obtained by the Financial Times, Weber warned that this move could allow unverified Russians to travel freely across much of the EU, potentially opening the door to espionage.

Weber has written to European Council President Charles Michel, urging that this issue be addressed at the next leaders' summit in October. Hungary has introduced a fast-track visa system for citizens of eight countries, including Russia and Belarus, allowing entry without security checks or other restrictions.

Weber questioned the necessity of Hungary's new immigration system, warning that it could create significant loopholes for espionage and allow large numbers of Russians to enter Hungary with minimal oversight, posing a serious risk to national security. He expressed concerns that such a policy could enable Russians to bypass EU restrictions within the Schengen area.

The letter calls on EU leaders to take urgent countermeasures to protect the integrity of the Schengen area, mitigate the security risks already present, and prevent similar initiatives by other member states in the future.

Lined up in a row like shooting gallery ducks. It's what happens when nobody is devising new tactics. The Ukrainians very obliging shot them up with UAVs

“It's like Hiroshima here”. The defenders of the Ukrainian city of Toretsk, Donetsk region, told how the Russians are burning it with KABs.

Toretsk is an important logistical interchange that leads to Konstantinovka. That's why the Russians are turning the once quiet mining town into ashes.

“The occupiers are wiping out the city,” says the fighter, ”Otherwise they won't be able to come here. It's easier for them to lay down block by block, like in Stalingrad.
