"Ukrainians are trying for now to save the few they do have by doing the job manually. Sapper units — sometimes a group of just four people — will often wait for twilight to clear paths, as they are too visible in the daylight and can be seen through night-vision devices in the dark.

Walking with a metal detector is unrealistic, sappers said, because they are too visible. So they crawl, relying on their vision to spot mines."

Russia to deem Ukraine-bound ships 'potential carriers of military cargo' from Wednesday eve

Russia's Defence Ministry said on Wednesday it would deem all ships travelling to Ukrainian ports to be potential carriers of military cargo and their flag countries to be parties to the conflict on the Ukrainian side.

The move follows Russia's decision this week to pull out of the U.N.-brokered Black Sea grain export deal which had guaranteed the safety of Ukrainian exports for the past year.

russian attacks on port infrastructure in #Odesa Oblast have destroyed 60,000 tons of grain, according to Ukrainian #Agriculture Minister Mykola Solskyi on July 19.

"This is a terrorist act not against Ukraine, but against the whole world," he stated. "If we cannot export food, then the population of the poorest countries will be on the verge of survival."

Going for a jog can be bad for your privacy (but even worse for your health), and Britain's consumer finance champion finds his face is being faked.

All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault.

Smashing Security 332: Deepfake Martin Lewis, and a deadly jog in the park.


A lot of "concerned" people are saying #Ukraine should not receive cluster ammunitions because they might harm civilians someday.

Meanwhile, #Russia is covering Ukraine in cluster munitions every day - using old Soviet stocks that are much, much more threatening to civilians than the modern, western variants the Armed Forces of Ukraine are requesting.

Pictured: cluster munitions that Russia fired on Ukrainian civilians in #Kharkiv.


A terrorist strike on a beautiful historic city far from the front lines. We have no meaningful laws of war if the international community ignores such rampant terrorism from a state actor and continues to withhold vital weapons Ukrainians need to defend themselves.

"Russian cruise missile attack on Ukraine city of Lviv kills 5 people and injures dozens

Russia fired cruise missiles Thursday at a western Ukraine city far from the front line of the war, killing at least five people in an apartment building in what officials said was the heaviest attack on civilian areas of Lviv since the Kremlin’s forces invaded the country last year.

(...) At least 36 people were injured, according to authorities.

The youngest of the five people who died was 21 years old and the oldest was 95, according to Maksym Kozytskyi, the governor of Lviv province, said."

On the Eastern front, there are 180,000 Russians.

In the Lyman-Kupiansk region a rather powerful group has been gathered - over 120,000 enemy troops...in all our area - over 180,000 Russian soldiers. On Bakhmut [direction] - around 50,000"

We are fighting against a powerful and dangerous enemy with limited resources and no aviation superiority. And yet Ukrainian Defenders still manage to liberate Ukrainian territory.

"We have to realize that the path to our victory is difficult. And now, no one can say when we will complete it. But when the goal is clear and fair, it does not matter how thorny the path to this goal is. Ukraine will walk this path to victory! And this is no longer a dream – it is a reality."

15-year-old Anna and Julia killed by the russian missile in a pizza restaurant in Kramatorsk (#Ukraine) have been buried today.

Their mother was trying to find them white wedding dresses to bury them in but all dress stores closed due to war.

Rest in peace, young souls.. 🕊️

When Russia fired two Iskandar missiles at a pizza restaurant in Kramatorsk Tuesday, these two 14-year-old twins were killed: Yulia and Anna Aksenchenko.

There were 15 kids in the basement of the restaurant celebrating graduation.

12 people died. 60 were injured.

This is the essential difference: When Al-Quada terrorists kill civilians, we hunt down and kill their leader.

When Putin does it, politicians reserve his stooges a seat at the table in the #UN.

This is wrong.

So what is #Europe's plan to deter terrorist #Russia from committing the #terrorist act of blowing up the Zaporizhzhia #nuclear power plant in #Ukraine?

What's #NATO's plan to prevent this?

Or is it just the usual "expressing our concern, are monitoring the situation, and talking to our partners" bullsh** that #Putin couldn't care less about?

First the dam blown up.
No reaction. No consequence.

What next? What's the deterrent? Anyone?

#Orban: “#Ukraine is no longer a sovereign state. They have no money, they have no weapons. They can only fight because we in the West support them.”

Who is “we” Victor? You’ve been supporting russia, and holding our POWs hostage.

No, you are not “we”. You are an asshole, a criminal, a dictator, and soon to be a failed tyrant.

SOOOOOOO...

If you were an average Russian, working your ass off at multiple jobs just to put food on the table, then today Putin destroys numerous roads and bridges surrounding Moscow, THEN you have a sudden realization that.. thanks to Putin and Prigozhin, there are suddenly tens of thousands of convicted and imprisoned rapists, crooks, burglars, drug dealers, child molesters, and MURDERERS running free around Russia, would YOU be a tad pissed at Glorious Leader Putin?

Over 11'000 women have drafted into Armed Forces of #Ukraine since February 2022. In total,
16'000 women serve in the Land Forces, 7'000 in the Air Force, 2'000 in the Navy, 1'000 in the Air Assault Forces, and 3'000 in the Territorial Defence Forces. And that's all voluntary drafts, as women are not subject to conscription in Ukraine.

As the #Ukraine offensive unrolls, #Russia intensified its disinformation campaign on previously unseen levels, here's just two examples of decent quality fakes that many Ukrainian and Western groups happily shared and discussed... Don't believe anything posted in low quality, all these 640×480 "drone videos" can be dismissed as fakes straight away. Don't believe any still frames "taken from UAV videos" unless a video has been also published in high quality. Be very careful about drawing any conclusions about anything else and remember during the Izyum campaign Russians were also confidently claiming they control the front firmly.
Fake: 2023 photo of a Leopard tank burning on a dirt road. In reality, the Leopard figure was copied onto an older photo of a damaged T72. Fake: Russian helicopters destroying two Leopard tanks. It's a real 2022 video but the targets were not tanks but John Deere combine harvesters.

"Miss Ukraine unveiled the costume she'll wear at the 2023 #MissUniverse pageant... The costume, titled Warrior of Light, was brought to life by Ukrainian designer Lesia Patoka... The project took her four months, which included extended periods with no electricity and having to work by candlelight and fighting the cold as the sirens wailed in the streets. “In this image, there is a reference to Archangel Michael, the guardian angel, who protects #Ukraine with a sword..."

Miss Ukraine dressed as an angel with almost body length blue, white, and yellow feathers. The feathers are draped in the royal blue sash with golden symbols. Miss Ukraine is wearing a white dress with what looks like a body armor jumpsuit underneath. She is wearing a golden radiating crown, similar to what the Virgin Mary wears in artwork. She is also holding a 4 foot long sword, with the point digging into the ground. Her long blond braid cascades down her left shoulder. She looks stunningly fierce and defiant and truly captures the spirit of the Ukrainian people during this time of war with Russia.
