Summer is coming to an end, and it’s time to sum up the results of the summer military campaign and make predictions about how events might unfold on the battlefields in the fall and winter. I deliberately use the word ‘battlefields’ because the fierce struggle will continue directly on the frontlines, in the information space, and on diplomatic platforms.
The al-Qaeda offshoot is focused on defending its territory from Russian-backed Syrian government forces, but it has also clashed with the Islamic State recently.
Several members of the Syrian militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham were killed in Russian airstrikes early Monday morning.
Even as Ukraine’s counteroffensive pushes slowly forward, some observers are calling for the warring sides to negotiate a ceasefire. This would create a de facto demarcation line separating areas held by Ukrainian forces from those under Russian control at the moment the fighting stops.
The Pentagon will provide Ukraine with $200 million in weapons and ammunition to help sustain Kyiv’s counteroffensive as troops on the front lines face significant hurdles against a well-entrenched Russian defense, according to two US officials.
The Russian State Duma voted to raise the maximum age for conscription from 27 to 30, providing more available manpower for Russia’s war effort. The move will enable the Kremlin to replenish its forces participating in the invasion of Ukraine without initiating another mobilization.

‘”I will never forget the feeling of powerless that came over me at that moment,’” Ya Shashviashvili remembers her husband later telling her in one of the few moments he divulged any details of his experience during Georgia’s short, devastating war with Russia in 2008.
Il devient de plus en plus évident pour un nombre croissant de personnes en Occident que quelque chose a terriblement mal tourné avec le projet ukrainien. Les prédictions et les projections ne se sont pas réalisées et l’Occident ne semble pas savoir quoi faire. L’économie russe n’était pas un château de cartes comme on l’avait prédit, les armes russes n’étaient pas inférieures comme on l’avait prédit, les soldats et les commandants russes n’étaient pas incompétents comme on l’avait prédit, et la technologie russe n’était pas inférieure comme on l’avait prédit.
La mer Noire, traditionnellement zone de prospérité avec d’abondantes ressources agricoles mais aussi zone de transit énergétique nécessaire à l’Europe depuis la destruction des gazoducs Nord Stream, est devenue une zone d’affrontement. Le 19 juillet 2023, le ministère de la Défense russe a déclaré que tous les navires naviguant en mer Noire vers les ports ukrainiens seront considérés comme des transporteurs potentiels de cargaison militaire.

Once we have established ourselves as a sovereign civilization, we need to change the dominant discourse. What everyone was afraid or embarrassed to say before (what the world community will think of us in the West …) must now be stated clearly and openly.
