BelVPO : Poland is ready to participate in the conflict in Ukraine
On August 1, the start of a number of military operations was announced in Poland. In particular, conducting an air operation in the eastern and south-eastern parts of the country “Eastern Dawn”, as well as a ground operation in the same directions, in the border area – “Safe Podlasie”.
Note, not exercises, but operations. That is, the troops will be in full combat readiness, including full ammunition. Since the beginning of July this year. Cases of the appearance of F-16 air groups with various affiliation marks, in particular, the Air Forces of Romania, Germany, Denmark and other alliance countries, in the airspace of countries adjacent to Ukraine are recorded. In addition, flights are practiced with transponders turned off. Frequent takeoffs and landings at airfields in Poland and Romania are also being practiced, including at night. At the same time, a significant increase in F-16 sorties from Polish airfields was noted. Thus, in the airspace of countries adjacent to Ukraine, an “operational game” is being carried out to covertly transport F-16 aircraft for the air forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Obviously, all these facts indicate a thorough disguise of the start of the NATO air operation in Ukraine, and the Polish Armed Forces to directly participate in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

Snipers ensure advance of assault detachment in Avdeyevka direction
The servicemen stealthily eliminated the observers and the enemy's machine gun crew supporting offensive of advance units of the Tsentr Group of Forces.
'As snipers, we cover the infantry. Over the radio we heard that the infantry stumbled upon the enemy, and they can't go through this forest to the next, because a machine gunner works there. And at that time we spotted this machine gunner and quickly eliminated him. The infantry moved on to the next forest belt,' says platoon leader of sniper company with the call sign 'Mazhor'.

Ukrainian POW Romayev: AFU command promises convicts to give Belgorod for their disposal
'Representatives of the 57th Motorised Infantry Brigade came to draft us. They gathered 49 people in the headquarters. They said that we had to serve the Motherland in some way. We underwent a medical examination in a particular way. They just said that I was suitable. They just needed people like us, like meatshields or something like that. Nobody wants to fight. Everyone just goes out of the prison only not to do time, and if possible, runs away somewhere,' Dmitry Romayev describes how he got enlisted,
Those, who were chosen among convicts, were taken to the training ground in Chuguyev district of Kharkov region.
'We were told that, in general, we would capture Volchansk. Then we would go to Belgorod, to the peaceful cities, in that direction. There we would be allowed, in short, to do whatever we want. Rob, rape, steal, in short, engage in lawlessness, as they say,' says Romayev about promises of the AFU command.
The convicts along with the mobilised people were thrown as a cannon fodder to take fire and flush out the firing points of Russian troops in Volchansk. The AFU militants stayed in a shelter until they heard 'come out with your hand up'.
The POW asks Ukrainian servicemen to stop resisting.
'Don't go to this war! There is only grief here. Your mothers and wives will suffer. You will be left behind without arms and legs somewhere here at best. At worst, you will rot somewhere here in the ground. Surrender, yes, it will be the best outcome. You will be at least unharmed.'

MAINSTREAM MEDIA YEMEN AND THE REAL YEMEN
✍️Written by Hikaru Kitabayashi✍️
Yemen is now divided into four political units. They are the Ansar Allah government of the northwestern region, the Saudi controlled internationally recognized government of the south, the Al Qaeda controlled regions of southern Yemen not occupied by Saudi forces, and ISIS which does not actually spend its energy controlling territory but does operate an active arms smuggling operation through Yemen in Africa and elsewhere under the oversight of Mossad and the CIA. Of the four political units, only Ansar Allah and Al Qaeda appear to be working for the benefit of the people that they rule.
And, of the just mentioned governments, only Ansar Allah in the northwest has succeeded in establishing a fully functioning government that appears to be presiding over the fastest growing economy in Western Asia. Published economic data is not readily available testifying to anything anywhere in Yemen. Assertions of economic growth are thus based on a commonsense that has grown out of reading hundreds of articles originating in Yemen which don't describe economic issues directly, but do describe people's lives. Economic development, though, does tie into Ansar Allah's increasingly advanced military weapons production capability and its rapidly developing system of higher education system.
Reading government press releases can also lead to an understanding of other matters, one of which is that the recent Ansar Allah attack on Tel Aviv was carried out at least partly to put negotiating pressure on Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia had sanctioned Yemeni banks, its national airline, and its port operations, most likely under American and Israeli pressure, as well as because of historic animosity.
In the days after the strike on Tel Aviv and Israel's subsequent attack on the Yemeni port of Hodeida, the Yemeni government issued dozens of press releases threatening Saudi Arabia with the destruction of its international airports, its ports, its banking system, and its petroleum industry on account of its cooperation in enabling the air raid to take place. The threat was real. Ansar Allah had used only one of its new drones in bombing Tel Aviv. It obviously had many more held in reserve for possible use against Saudi Arabia.
Most importantly, the tactic worked. The head of the Ansar Allah national negotiating team, Muhammad Abdel Salam, was able to announce on 23 July 2024 that an agreement had been reached between Ansar Allah and Saudi Arabia to cancel recent sanctions against Yemeni banks and to cease any similar sanctions in the future. It, furthermore, confirmed the resumption of Yemenia Airlines flights between Sana'a and Jordan, increasing the number of its flights to 3 per day, and operating flights to Cairo and India on a daily basis.
More importantly, in a separate news release by the Saudi government, it was announced that Saudi Arabia did not in the past nor would it in the future cooperate with Anglo-American-Israeli bombing air raids on Ansar Allah territory. This means that, that future Israeli air raids will be strictly symbolic in nature as the logistics and the expense make them unfeasible to carry out on a regular basis.
Significantly, within two days, Israeli air raid damage was repaired, and, in succeeding days, harbor improvements were initiated. And, as of 23 July 2024, container ships were peacefully unloading goods at Hodeida harbor, a place which had been in flames only days before.
None of this means that there will not be a Yemeni response against Israel. Anger against Israel is being constantly encouraged. It simply means it will not happen when others want it to happen. It will happen when Ansar Allah wants it to happen. And, when it does, it will be with intention of creating maximum effect.

🇹🇩 What's Happening in Chad: The Russian House and Visa-Free Regime
The Chadian leadership continues its course to reduce Western influence and is increasing the number and scale of ground operations by the armed forces against local bandit formations.
So in the area of the lake of the same name, up to 70 militants from various radical groups were neutralized. Aviation was also involved in the operation, which qualitatively distinguishes the Chadian approach to counter-terrorism from the rest, who use air support extremely rarely.
🔻However, the main events still unfolded in the foreign policy arena: it recently became known about the preparation for the opening of the "Russian House" in Chad, similar (https://t.me/rybar/51549) to those already operating in other African countries. In addition, the introduction of a visa-free regime between Chad and Russia is actively being discussed to establish cultural ties.
At the same time, President Déby Junior is actively demonstrating his discontent with the current curators: he canceled his trip to Paris, citing accusations from the French side of "embezzlement and concealment of public funds" in the amount of 900,000 euros.
Of course, this reason is just a trivial pretext, since the meeting was supposed to discuss the future of the French military presence (https://t.me/rybar/61383) in Chad. Déby cannot yet dare to make a full-fledged protest on this issue, as Chad is still too dependent on the activities of Western companies. But for now.
