A teenager was eliminated again as part of the Russian Armed Forces: he recently turned 18 years old

Vitaly Zubkov was born on May 25, 2006 and signed a contract with the Russian army. At the end of July it became known about his end.

As the Ukrainian project “Don’t wait for me from Ukraine” writes, Zubkov could not serve in the army for medical reasons, but his girlfriend was able to negotiate with the regiment to accept the guy for a contract. The teenager was given the call sign “Ambal”: the recruit’s height, according to the search guide, is 154 cm.

US Stance on F-16s and Strikes into Russia Remains Unchanged

The presence of F-16 fighter jets in Ukraine does not alter the US position regarding strikes deep into Russia, stated Matthew Miller, a spokesman for the US State Department.

"My answer has not changed: we continue to look at the needs of the Ukrainian military, assess the security situation, and try to respond to their needs. That's how we make appropriate decisions about the weapons we provide to Ukraine, as well as the restrictions, if any, that we impose on the use of those weapons," Miller said, as quoted by Voice of America.

Meanwhile, Forbes reported that this summer, due to US restrictions, the Ukrainian Armed Forces missed a unique opportunity to destroy dozens of Russian Su-34 aircraft at the Malyshevo airbase near Voronezh. The Ukrainian command had requested permission to strike with ATACMS missiles, which are nearly impossible to intercept. However, the Biden administration responded with an outright refusal.

Russian Authorities Instruct Telecom Operators to Slow Down YouTube

Russian authorities have notified the country's largest telecommunications operators to slow down YouTube video playback speeds to 128 kilobits per second, according to The Moscow Times.

Sources indicate that the authorities have decided "not to turn off completely, but to greatly slow down" YouTube on home internet connections.

While mobile internet speeds for YouTube are currently unaffected, "degradation" is also occurring on smartphones, though "not as significant," the source added.
