Most African leaders decided to ignore the Russia-Africa summit. Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is expected to take part in it.
This is reported by the Moscow Times, The Censor informs.
38 of Africa’s 54 countries did not send their leaders to the summit. Only 17 countries will be represented at the level of heads of state, and another 10 African countries will send prime ministers.
But almost half of the summit participants will be represented by delegations at a lower level, in particular, 17 of them are headed by Deputy Prime Ministers and ministers, and five are just ambassadors. Also, five countries of the continent completely refused to participate in the summit.
At the same time, the Russian dictator will hold talks with the leaders of Egypt, Mozambique, Burundi, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Eritrea, the Central African Republic, Libya, Cameroon, Senegal, South Africa, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Mali and Congo.
“We will not announce, because they may have other planned events that involve the participation of heads of state,” said Oleg Ozerov, ambassador-at-large of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred twenty seventh day of the war.
Day 527: Aug 04
Today there is a lot of news from the south.
FIRST of all, today in the morning, Ukrainians launched a drone attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet. This time, however, instead of choosing Sevostopol, Ukrainians unexpectedly decided to target the Russian harbor in Novorossiysk. At first, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians tried to blow up Russian oil terminals and that all drones were shot down.
Unfortunately for Russians, the footage of the attack got published very quickly this time, and it turned out that Ukrainians successfully attacked a Russian assault landing ship’s board. Ukrainian marine drone operators also shortly released the footage from the drone itself. The drone made a hole in the side of the ship, one room was completely flooded, and the ship lost the ability to move independently. The ship was close to sinking when the tugs arrived, and the ship got pulled to the shore barely on time.
Russian analysts expressed their disdain for the situation. They analyzed the footage and concluded that not only didn’t Russians equip the ship with additional machine guns necessary to intercept such attacks, but the crew also did not notice the drone on time, despite receiving multiple warnings that Ukrainian drones were heading in their direction.
Russian analysts concluded that the crew was relaxed and thought that they were too far from the main action, which was exactly what Ukrainians counted on, and successfully took out one more ship.
SIMULTANEOUSLY, Ukrainians conducted a massive aerial drone strike on Crimea. Ukrainians reportedly launched 20 drones of various types. The first 3 groups of drones targeted the western shore of Crimea. Even though they were heading toward military objects, the goal of these drones was not necessarily to destroy them but rather to draw attention away from the main strike. That is why the last group of drones managed to pass through a vast area and reach Feodosia.
Russian sources reported that all drones were shot down but noted that at least one drone still fell on the territory of an oil refinery. Some Russian analysts noted that the extensive oil depots in Feodosia were exactly what Ukrainians targeted, so it seems like some of the drones were not intercepted and reached their destination.
Nonetheless, there is still no footage of fire, so even though the drones hit the territory of the refinery, it is not guaranteed that they inflicted damage, which happens sometimes.
INTERESTINGLY, the time of launch of marine and aerial drones was virtually the same. That is another reason why Russians did not prepare for the strike in Novorossiysk – they thought that the target of the marine drones would be Crimea. And they were right partially because the marine drones split into two groups, and one group headed in the direction of the Kerch Bridge.
Russian sources reported that Ukrainians attacked the bridge with at least 3 drones. Local residents reported hearing explosions, which is confirmed by the footage. It was claimed that the drones did not reach the bridge itself, even though the footage shows that the lights on the bridge are not on anymore. Instead, Russian sources claimed that one of the drones hit a Russian oil tanker that was delivering fuel to the Zaporizhzhia region.
Interestingly, this was the only ship that Russian warships tried to protect and accompany all the way to Crimea. The crew of the tanker reported that there were no leaks of oil or threat of sinking – the Ukrainians just took out the motor, which means that Russian supplies of fuel on the front will not get replenished. Overall, Ukrainians conducted a combined drone strike in the Black Sea, took out one Russian warship, one oil tanker, and possibly damaged an oil depot in Feodosia and, most importantly, the Kerch bridge.
As it may be heard from my voice, I got sick. So the next couple of videos may be shorter than usual, as I cannot work as much due to the high temperature.
If you are against the invasion of Ukraine and want to support the work that I am doing, consider making a purchase in the online store UA Supporter. Here you can find a lot of products with Ukrainian symbols, to not only show your support for this channel, but also for Ukraine. The link to the online store is in the description, thank you for watching and I will see you in the next report.

Screw Russia, with its 5,500 nuclear warheads targeting American cities.

Haha!!! Priceless. That sure is where all our money is going.
Oh?...so one must have posted meaningless reams and reams of spam endlessly, night-after-night in order to be considered a member here?
“Interestingly, this was the only ship that Russian warships tried to protect and accompany all the way to Crimea.

I’m aware of the damaged ship, but there’s so much contradictory information coming out about this that I don’t know who to believe.
A nice moniker.
In addition to the detail about the many monetized YouTube channels promoted daily, one finds reference to a "militaryland.net."
This source says of itself,
"MilitaryLand.net is an independent project founded in 2017 by a passionate military fan who has followed the Ukrainian Conflict since the beginning in 2013. The site began life as a database of Ukrainian regular and volunteer units, but over the years it has grown to cover a whole range of topics – the war in Donbas, deployment & invasion maps, military equipment, and anything else that we and the site's readers find interesting."We have also been covering the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine since day one. We were the first to report the beginning of Russian invasion and published these three pictures, which are today known as the first pictures of the Russian invasion."
Source: https://https://militaryland.net/about//about/
Oddly, as the site was registered in 2017, which was before the invasion by a number of years, it defines the "Ukrainian Conflict [ as ] since the beginning in 2013."
This is all the more interesting since a simple whois query tells that it is registered not in Ukraine but....
Name: Domain AdminAll the more interesting, the address is found to be of a business named "Event Frontiers, with the address in their "contact" page..
Organization: Whois protection, this company does not own this domain name s.r.o.

But, rather like those many US websites whose :address: turns out to be a FedEx or UPS store "box," this address contains many more than that first result of a search.
1 -- https://stratodata.eu/contact-us/From this one may see that the site posted my "mother" is just another in a line of "sites" which promote their "information." Anonymously.
2 -- ALTERNATIVE REALITY, S.R.O. --
3 -- https://moaidentitygroup.eu/contact-2/ (this one seems to connect "ladies" to those interested.....)

And so on.... many use this street address, more than the above sample.
Indeed, because as one learns of their "authors," the site notes few ---
1 -- Jerome, Founder - Follower of Ukrainian conflict since Euromaidan in 2013. He's in love with maps and has interest in military equipment and Ukrainian volunteer and regular units.Presented to "all" by "mother" as trusted sources. From downtown Prague in the Czech Republic, direct from the front lines.... Interesting that the site is Czech, and in English and complete, of course, with donate, donate and donate.
2 -- Cossack - Ukrainian Units Editor
3 -- And group called "Our Discord team" : EnaxTM, Sarveza, EvvuutFrom their resumes one learns .... nothing. Except anonymity.

A takeaway from this little rummaging around with a search engine shows that this site, like so many others is in English, aimed at English readers and speakers. From the Czech Republic. For the Ukraine. Presented to us as "experts" ---
Just like Denys, the pilot who isn't apparently training to fly for the Ukrainian military because he too has something more important to do. Raise money for himself. Such in the nature of things, rather like Hunter Biden who managed, according to reports, to get $83,000.00 a month from a Ukrainian energy company. It's all -- all from the top to the bottom -- about money. Click. Donate. Click. Donate.
And you still get it wrong.
Nuclear war brinksmanship is so awesome, don’t you agree?
Yay, war!
Good sleuthing work!
I rarely click on Mumsie’s links because I don’t want to give any revenue to propagandists, but I went ahead and gave MilitaryLand a quick look.
These people appear to be making some decent “walking around money” just for posting jingoistic claptrap for a couple of hours a day. And just like with Denys, there’s a loyal little cult following.
Nice work if you can get it and live with yourself, I suppose. No wonder they want this war to go on indefinitely.
“Oddly, as the site was registered in 2017, which was before the invasion by a number of years, it defines the “Ukrainian Conflict [as] since the beginning in 2013.”
2014 was the first military Ukraine Invasion by Putin. BTW, He had been emigrating Russian citizens for years.
I think that an apt description.
Their "walking around money" pales in comparison to Hunter Biden's $83K a month consulting from Ukraine's Burisma, so it's all a matter of degree.
It is additionally entertaining to me that "UMCRevMom@aol.com" has now responded several times, pinging me directly after we each had asked the other not to ping directly. She is forgetful.
She asked me not to ping her when she played the "Putin is shorter than Zelensky" card, and I responded with sources and citations from Christian sites about Jesus' height. It turns out I am taller than any of them. So the game she played -- and might play again -- was and is foolish. Not liking her game by her rules, she asked me not to ping her, and I in response asked her not to ping me. And yet, there is.... Comment # 55.
I'd much rather chat with you.
As to the whole Ukraine-Russia thing, when it's over one way or the other, we'll know the outcome. Until then nobody knows, but quite a number of lads and lassies have learned how to turn a USD, a ruble, a Euro, or a hryvnia from the hot mess. Click. Donate. Click. Donate.
Hmmm...
Most of your erstwhile detractors don’t seem to have much to say about the two Russian ships getting popped. That transport ship appears to have put up no defense at all. Maybe the Watch Officer was distracted because he was making pro-Russian posts to FR. ;-)
In absentia, I apologize to Worldtraveler-once-upon-a-time.
True, I asked WOUAT not to send his demeaning comments to me. He is only one of 3 on the naughty list that I had asked to STOP with the abusive, inaccurate comments. I had forgotten him as I usually just skim his comments. I must have developing an immunity!
His information is usually so off-topic and incorrect that not receiving his comments has been a pleasure. So, I’m glad he reminded me and others why he is ignored. Best to forgive and forget. Apparently, I did! LOL
“That transport ship appears to have put up no defense at all. Maybe the Watch Officer was distracted”
The Russian analysts concluded that the assault landing shipcrew was relaxed. I think they were drunk again!
