Our source within the General Staff has revealed that an expanded meeting took place last week, during which Drapatiy outlined the main task for the Ukrainian Armed Forces: to hold Slaviansk and Kramatorsk until the end of the year. Field commanders believe this task is unrealistic, as the Russian army has begun encircling the agglomeration, effectively repeating the situation in Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad. While the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered 8,000 casualties in those areas, the current potential losses could be as high as 40,000 to 50,000.

It's so funny, the guys I know here have a running inside joke of ''at what cost' that's become a reply for anything 🤣

'hey boys, should we get another round of beers?'
... 'willy.... at what cost' *table erupts in laughter*

Andreyevskaya Obshina (Andreyevka) in the Kramatorsk direction is in good Russian hands...

Located on the T0514 highway, connecting Kramatorsk with Dobropolye, control over which creates the conditions for a future offensive on Kramatorsk.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Iran has struck a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz

The attack caused a fire in the engine room and resulted in casualties among the crew.

💥 📰 An explosion occurred early this morning, August 18, 2026, at the Stora Enso Kaukopää pulp and board mill in Imatra, southeastern Finland, located near the Russian border.The blast happened around 2:00 AM inside an open tank farm. A sharp rise in pressure caused a storage tank containing tall oil (a chemical wood pulp byproduct) to rupture and catch fire. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. However, the rupture caused 50 cubic meters of tall oil to spill across the factory grounds, with some of the chemical leaking into nearby Lake Saimaa via stormwater drains.

"As far as Kramik [Kramatorsk] is concerned, I'm not going to waste words on it. I've decided not to talk about it at all, so I'll just show you a video from someone who's been there instead. Unfortunately, these past few years have been like "Groundhog Day" for me ."

You may remember that I made a post back in June comparing the interception rate of Ukrainian drones attacking Moscow.

In October 2025, 150 out of 150 drones were shot down. In June 2026, at least 8 out of 300+ drones impacted the Moscow Oil Refinery. At the time, I explained that this was due to Ukraine's drone warfare capabilities have improved significantly, rather than Russian air defence capabilities decreasing. I even argued that Russian air defence was becoming more effective.

And it appears that time proved me right, with tonight's attack resulting in 100% of the 500+ drones flying towards Moscow being shot down - the most impressive interception rate yet considering how many drones were launched in such a short period of time.

While I still hold that Ukrainian drone capabilities are at their best yet, Russian air defence continues to improve, outpacing Ukraine's drone capabilities. Russia produces massive amounts of interceptor missiles of various types (Pantsir, Tor, S-300, etc), and does this entirely domestically. They also are implementing large numbers of interceptor drones, which continue to increase every day. Furthermore, Russia has significantly stepped up their usage of mobile fire groups, which are a more cost-effective solution, and often more effective in general when dealing with very low-flying drones.
