Chervonaya Krinitsa is in good Russian hands...
The liberation of Chervonaya Krinitsa creates a threat of encirclement for Ukrainian formations holding positions north of the Konka River. It was Ukrainian control of these heights that prevented Russian forces from fully establishing themselves in Malaya Tokmachka, which they can now use to move into Orekhov.
(494 settlements in the last 518 days)

‼️UKRAINIAN POST‼️
Kaja Kallas stated at a meeting of the heads of foreign ministries of EU countries that she supports the introduction of a moratorium on military operations in the Black Sea.
She explained her position by her desire to help restore the export of Ukrainian agricultural products.
Such statements from Euroglobalists are clear evidence of the effectiveness of Russian strikes on Ukrainian shipping, which has effectively cut off a key logistical route for military supplies to the Kiev regime.
So, thanks, Kaja, but no thanks.

Some additional information and clarifications regarding the fighting which took place last night between members of the SBU and GUR.
Earlier this week, two soldiers from the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK) were kidnapped in the courtyard of their home in Kyiv, including deputy commander of the RDK Stepan Kaplunov. The RDK is subordinated to the GUR, and it seems likely that the SBU was responsible for the kidnapping.
Last night, the GUR was dispatched to a high-rise building at 10 Yuriya Shums'koho Street in the Berezniaky District of Kyiv to investigate the SBU about accusations of them kidnapping Kaplunov and another member of the RDK. A fight then broke out, prompting the SBU's Alpha unit (special counter-terror unit) to arrive, which then resulted in the shooting starting. The standoff continued until past 10am the next morning.
Following the clashes, investigators from the State Bureau of Investigation arrived at the scene to de-escalate the situation. At least three GUR members were injured in the fighting. No deaths were reported. During the preliminary investigation, it was established that the detainees were indeed from the RDK, with their weapons and documents having been confiscated by the kidnappers at the time. Kaplunov has since been released, however his lawyer stated that his whereabouts are currently unknown.
The widely-circulating claim by the SBU about it foiling a "Russian FSB terror plot" to attack a leader of a Russian opposition movement seems to be unfounded. RBC Ukraine backs this up, quoting Kaplunov's lawyer stating that the SBU is trying to cover up the kidnapping, and present this Russia-oriented version of events to the public.
(NOTE: This is based entirely on information from my own sources and reports by Ukrainian media outlets).

⚡️Estonia's Defense Minister resigns after wasting 70 million euros on faulty ammunition for Ukraine.
"Even though the minister does not count socks and cartridges and does not hold contract negotiations...I must take political responsibility for the entire defense field today," Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur said on Sept. 2.

Ukraine wants to close Russia's skies and has a plan to do it.
In an announcement on Sept. 1, President Volodymyr Zelensky gave few details about what it would entail, other than making clear it would involve lots of drones.
"There will simply be drones in Russia's skies on a scale that has to be taken into account," he said, as he warned "every airline that uses Russian airspace" against flying over the country.
"The Russian sky will be de facto closed," he added.
Forcing the closure of Russian airspace using drones is not a new idea, and Ukraine has been employing the tactic for nearly a year and a half.

I agree with this assessment. Unfortunately, a lot of these "analysts" (advocates) probably do see this, but are just trying to paint the narrative that Ukraine's strike campaign didn't backfire, considering how widely publicised and promoted it was.
I think another issue contributing to this unfounded belief is that these massive Russian retaliatory attacks are hardly even reported on by independent analysts, let alone western media. They have been reported on several times less than the Ukrainian strike campaign, even though they are much larger and more destructive.

The military currently faces a shortage of fuel. Numerous soldiers from various brigades have reported a 50% reduction in their fuel rations. While the underlying reasons are understood, the situation has reached absurd levels in certain cases.
There should be no restrictions on fuel supply for carrying out combat missions, particularly within units where personnel are motivated to perform effectively and make money on the side.
A comprehensive review is necessary; otherwise, the financial welfare of the soldiers will be severely compromised.
Soldiers who are concerned about providing for their families will not be able to fight effectively.
