Just to be clear, David D is a dementia-ridden boomer who only knows how to repeat the same lines over and over again, while peddling the same lies about me.

I have never raised money by selling Z merch. This is a complete lie purely aimed at discrediting my work, and David knows this. Just like the previous lie he made about me supposedly having a “phone call” with him involving me admitting to being pro Russian.

David doesn’t care about Ukraine or Ukrainians, and ironically is using a map I made showing a Ukrainian counterattack, which pro Russians attacked me for. He is the last person who should be accusing someone of working for a government.

He then finishes off with wishing harm towards me for simply posting about this war in a neutral manner. The same harm that pro Russians wish upon me at the same time.

Keep in mind, this man is over 3 times my age, and has been actively attacking me for over 2 years.

Also, I would’ve thought David of all people would understand wars of attrition, like what we are seeing in Ukraine, considering he is actively stuck in a war of attrition with his chronic obesity.

There is a high threat of a large-scale Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv from August 25 onwards.

There will probably be no attack tonight.

For anyone wondering, the “secret Ukrainian counteroffensive” people are talking about is occurring in the Lyman direction. Specifically north of Lyman.

I don’t have any on-the-ground sources from this sector, and gather all my information here from OSINT, so I’m not too worried about breaking the OPSEC regime put in place by the Ukrainian command.

These counterattacks have been ongoing since late-May, which is when I started reporting on them. They have involved a slow and costly advance aimed at cutting off the Russian bridgehead west of the Nitrius River.

A Russian soldier fighting in the Kostyantynivka direction confirms my information from two weeks ago about the outer suburbs of the city being contested.

He states that Ukrainian forces are being periodically sent to Kostyantynivka from Oleksijevo-Druzhkivka. In my opinion, this is to prolong the battle in the information space for propaganda purposes.

This is why I haven't shifted the northern part of Kostyantynivka from the grey-zone to a Russian-controlled zone, although Russia continues to gradually expand their zone of control here.

There is an increased threat of an attack on Kyiv involving Iskander-M ballistic missiles and Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles for tonight, specifically between 11:30pm and 2:30am.

This is not a guarantee that an attack will occur, but there is information that could suggest this.

According to my information from both Russian and Ukrainian sources, there is a possibility of Russia carrying out a cross-border incursion from Bryansk Oblast into Chernihiv Oblast.

A large Russian build-up in Bryansk Oblast has been observed recently, with a mix of motorised and airborne units, as well as infrastructure necessary to support a cross-border operation. I can't go into details about the specific equipment being brought here, or the potential timeframes for such an operation (for obvious reasons), but more information may become available soon.

The Ukrainian command knows about this build-up, and is responding with various pre-emptive measures. Again, I can't go into specific details, but what can be said is that they appear to be preparing for an operation to take place at any point from now to the end of 2026. What can be said is that there are certain units that are being held in this general area specifically for countering any cross-border incursions - units that could be sent to other parts of the frontline.

In my opinion, any cross-border operation would be limited, and aimed mostly at drawing Ukrainian forces away from the east, overextending their limited manpower to create the conditions for additional advances in the east. Similar to what has been seen in Kharkiv and Sumy Oblasts for the last 2+years.

Note: This information comes from Russian and Ukrainian sources who I have spoken to. Both have given me permission to post this. Details which could be used by either Russia or Ukraine for targeting one another have been omitted. Everything mentioned here is already known by each side. Arrows shown on the map are illustrative.
