#Zelensky published photos of Ukrainian kindergartens, schools and universities damaged by the Russian invaders:

Dozens of universities, hundreds of schools and kindergartens throughout Ukraine were damaged and destroyed by the invaders. They sought to leave us without our past, history, culture, and knowledge. But they did not succeed.

We continue to live. We develop and develop ourselves, learn new things, study and become stronger. And most importantly, we are building our Ukrainian future. Free and independent.

The Kremlin is going to postpone the "referenda" to the end of autumn - media

The Russian RBC writes: "The optimistic scenario - holding "referendums" in September - most likely will not be implemented." But they are thinking about holding pseudo-referendums on the Day of National Unity in the Russian Federation - November 4th. The decision will depend on the situation at the front.

According to Meduza, another Russian media outlet that has already been banned in Russia itself, several options for holding “referenda” are being considered in the Kremlin:

▪️In September or October, hold "referendums" in the occupied territories of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions of Ukraine, and in late autumn - in the "LPR" and "DPR";
▪️to hold all pseudo-referendums at the same time, but later.

It is noted that the Kremlin expects that by late autumn they will allegedly be able to completely capture the Donetsk region.

It is noted that preparations for the “referenda” have already begun.

🤡Lukashenko, explaining the term “denazification” to schoolchildren during the so-called “lesson” on September 1, called the African American Obama an extreme nationalist who humiliated Belarusians and Russians

“A Nazi is a nationalist of the worst kind, who exaggerates his nation, humiliates, insults, wipes his feet on others. Fascism is an extreme form of manifestation of Nazism. This is when they take up arms. They are already fascists. This is how I rate it. And denazification is the suppression of this fascism in the future and Nazism in the present. What Ukraine has come to, and now we can already say that the germs of the encroachment of fascism have appeared in Ukraine,” Lukashenka said.

The self-proclaimed president also thanked the Soviet leader and dictator Stalin and the People's Commissar of Internal Affairs of the USSR Beria for the creation of nuclear weapons. He declared that he would not join the country to Russia in order to maintain "independence".

Belarus will probably work out the seizure of part of Ukraine during the exercises - #GeneralStaff

On September 8-14, Belarusian military will for the first time work out "liberation of the temporarily occupied territories, the conduct of a counteroffensive and access to the state border." The Russian military and the CSTO countries will take part in the exercises.

“According to the plan of command and staff training, it is supposed to liberate part of the lost territory of a conditional state. It is not excluded that the so-called lost territory refers to the border areas of the Volyn, Rivne and Zhytomyr regions," said Alexei Gromov, deputy head of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the AFU.

Such plans correspond to the concept of common actions of the so-called Union State (Russia and Belarus) in the Ukrainian direction.

“The probability of an enemy offensive from the territory of Belarus or an invasion of Belarusian troops into Ukraine remains low,” he concluded.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and Russian military correspondents have already called the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine “a failure”, thereby starting an information campaign against Ukrainian troops, - ISW

Analysts from the American Institute for the Study of War are sure that it is too early to draw any conclusions. A counter-offensive operation in the south will be difficult to assess in the short term due to false maneuvering and misdirections that distract the enemy.

The occupiers carried out a limited ground attack north of Kharkiv, inflicted ground strikes south of Bakhmut and along the western outskirts of Donetsk.

In Crimea, the occupying “authorities” have begun to “reengineer” air defense systems to counter smaller targets in response to repeated drone attacks on the peninsula.

U.S. practiced counteroffensive with Ukraine in south in 'war games' - CNN

U.S. analysts helped the Ukrainian military work through various counteroffensive scenarios to understand what forces they need to muster for the success of the military operation.

If initially the Armed Forces of Ukraine considered the possibility of a counteroffensive in many directions of the front, then later it was decided to reduce it to the Kherson region.

“We will not comment on the specifics of these interactions. In general, we provide Ukrainians with information to help them better understand the threats they face and protect their country from Russian aggression. In the end, the Ukrainians make the final decisions about their actions,” said Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Pat Ryder.
