The world’s sanctions offensive must resume – address of President of Ukraine
President of Ukraine Official Website

Dear Ukrainians, I wish you good health!
It’s been a very active day today, with a lot of international communication – Ukraine needs to be heard and understood worldwide. Shared emotions are always a great source of greater support.
Yalta European Strategy Summit - various meetings, interviews.
A meeting with the members of our sanctions group led by Andriy Yermak and Michael McFaul. A report on what has already been achieved in our work with partners for sanctions against Russia. Milestones for the near future. Currently, we see a prolonged sanctions pause from our partners. And Russia’s overly active attempts to circumvent the sanctions. It’s crucial to add solutions to the free world, which should defend itself. And have success in this!
And, even more so, it should avoid any attempts to use free world companies, technologies, and products to wage war against freedom.
Three priorities: further sanctions against Russia’s energy sector, real restrictions on the supply of chips and microelectronics in general to terrorists, and further blocking of the Russian financial sector. This world’s sanctions offensive must resume.
On the eve of the Sports Day, I met with the community of our athletes. Those who bring glory to the world for Ukraine deserve applause on the arenas for our flag.
Today, I also held an important preparatory meeting regarding an upcoming international event planned for this September. Details will follow shortly. We are preparing an important defense package for our soldiers.
And one more thing. Chevron badges. Guys, our brigades, which I recently visited in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions – your chevron badges are already here, in my office, on the boards. I am proud of every brigade, every soldier!
Glory to all who fight for our state! I thank each and every one who works for the Ukrainian strength! And to all who help our people overcome this time, overcome the consequences of Russian terror. We will definitely win!
Glory to Ukraine!

7 Sep: Finally! Ukrainians BREAKTHROUGH MAIN RUSSIAN LINE & PUNCH 2nd HOLE | Ukraine War Update

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Defense Forces continue to conduct offensive defense in the Bakhmut and Melitopol sectors of the front, and also achieved success in the Robotyne-Novoprokopivka direction. For these successes to continue, the Ukrainians’ primary objective was to make a major breach in the Russian 1st Main Line of defense in Zaporizhia. The Ukrainians achieved this. But in order to increase Kiev’s opportunities in these areas, it needs to encircle the Tokmak direction and open the 2nd breach there. And then the Ukrainians are expected to go on an adventure to Melitopol.

Let’s explore how this breakthrough, which covers the critical areas between Orikhiv and Melitopol, is taking place. First of all, there is evidence that clashes are now intensifying in other sectors as well. On the Berdyansk axis, first and foremost in the area of Novodonetske and Novomayorske settlements, we are seeing such situations this week. The area between Pryiutne and Novodonetske in Velyka Novosilka is also quite active. There, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are currently advancing from Novodonetske towards Novomayorske.

On the other hand, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are conducting military operations in two other directions. To the west of Orikhiv, these are attacks on Kamianske near Vasylivka. There is also good news south of Orikhiv. Its Russian-appointed head, Yevgeny Balitsky, reported that the Russian army tactically abandoned the village of Robotyne in the Zaporizhzhia region. That is, Russia has completely abandoned this settlement. After that, the Ukrainian Forces achieved another breakthrough near Robotyne. The gap in the Surovikin Line was significantly widened. War analysts report that Ukrainian forces have widened the gap in Russian defenses near Robotyne in the Zaporizhzhia region, the so-called Surovikin Line.

Intelligence reports indicate that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have started to use infantry more actively in this direction. Ukrainian troops also moved closer to the Russian defenses between Robotyne and Novoprokopivka. Judging by some of the activities of the collaborators, they say that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been carrying out artillery strikes in this direction for several days. A large number of minefields have been destroyed during the work of Ukrainian artillery in these last few days.

There are also Ukrainian breakthroughs southwest of Orikhiv. Retired colonel Viktor Kevliyuk, a military expert at the Ukrainian Center for Defense Strategies, noted that there are three sectors available on the front where the Tavria Operational-Strategic Force Group is infiltrating the Russian defense. These directions are the strategic trenches on the Vasylivka side southwest of Orikhin, an area about 30 km wide from the village of Zherebianky northeast of Vasylivka to Nesteryanka, and a section 3-5 km deep.

But today’s most important news came from near the settlement of Verbove, southeast of Orikhiv. Ukrainian forces are advancing towards the wooded positions east of the Russian anti-tank ditches and the dragon’s tooth obstacles, part of the three-layer defense, just west of Verbove. Ukrainian light infantry also reached a series of prepared Russian defensive positions along the road from Verbove northwest to this settlement. In addition, Ukrainian forces appear to be making gains with infantry attacks and heavy artillery fire on Russian positions further inland and south of this layer, in the immediate vicinity of the as yet unviolated Russian defensive layer stretching from northwest of Verbove to north of Solodka Balka.

So first Ukrainian troops made a major breach in the 1st Main defense line between Robotyne and Verbove in Zaporizhia. Now the Ukrainians have stepped up their military activity to open the 2nd breach in the Tokmak direction to reach Melitopol. Ukrainian troops have already established a complete blockade of these areas and launched siege operations. To this end, Kiev’s current target is Tokmak and beyond. The section between Novoprokopivka and Verbove, which achieved the greatest success in the Tokmak direction, is about 10 km wide and up to 8 km deep.

The Ukrainians want to use this line to capture Tokmak completely. Seeing this vulnerability, the Ukrainians have already made a move to land in the settlement. According to the Commander-in-Chief of the Operational-Strategic Force Grouping Tavria, Ukrainian forces have advanced through the main Russian defense line towards Tokmak.

Russian embedded agent
Ukrainska Pravda identifies son-in-law of former Ukrainian lawmaker at Russian oligarch’s home
Alona Mazurenko,
Ukrainska Pravda —
Friday, 8 September 2023, 18:53
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/09/8/7419030/

UP journalists have managed to identify Oleksii Kavylin, the son-in-law of former Ukrainian lawmaker Yevhen Chervonenko, at the villa of a currently sanctioned Russian oligarch, Viatcheslav Kantor, in Geneva, Switzerland.

SOURCE:
investigation by Ukrainska Pravda: Londongrad 2: Ukrainska Pravda finds a relative of Ukrainian politician at home of Russian oligarch

DETAILS:
Ukrainska Pravda’s sources in law enforcement agencies say Chervonenko is currently affiliated with Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence.

Meanwhile, the UP managed to film the son-in-law of a Ukrainian defence intelligence official at the villa of Russian oligarch Kantor in Geneva.

Kavylin headed the Main Department of Ukraine’s State Fiscal Service in Kyiv Oblast from 2016 to 2019.

In a comment to the UP, Kavylin said he “does not remember” whether he was in Geneva at Kantor’s house on 17 July 2023.
When asked to elaborate, Chervonenko’s son-in-law claimed that “it is impossible”.

Chervonenko himself, when asked about his son-in-law at Kantor’s house, said he “doesn’t like people looking into his dirty laundry”. He claimed that he had a long-standing connection with Kantor. Notably, Chervonenko used to be a vice-president of the European Jewish Congress, and Kantor a president of said association.

Chervonenko stated that his son-in-law works and lives in Ukraine. Chervonenko alluded to the fact that his son-in-law travelled abroad with official permits or letters for a reason. The former lawmaker said Kavylin could easily have become one of the main characters in the Monaco Battalion but did not [Monaco Battalion is a name for Ukrainian politicians, civil servants, members of the Ukrainian Parliament, influential businessmen and other officials (and their family members) who went abroad during the hostilities between Ukraine and the Russian Federation – ed.].

The UP reports that Chervonenko’s son-in-law has left Ukraine five times since the beginning of the year, including under authorisation letters from Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.

During one of the trips, Kavylin stayed at the house of a sanctioned Russian oligarch.

Chervonenko had been actively spreading pro-Russian narratives before the full-scale invasion.

In 2023, Chervonenko was spotted hanging out with Russians and recently participated in a video by Russian chanson singer Yevgeny Kemerovsky, featuring a song about the “friendship” between the two nations [Russian chanson is a musical genre with themes of the urban underclass and the criminal underworld, distinct from the traditional French chanson – ed.].

Ukrainian Armed Forces breach front line of Russian defense – Estonian intelligence
European Pravda, Ukrainska Pravda
Friday, 8 September 2023, 22:09
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/09/8/7419055/

The Intelligence Centre of the Defence Forces of Estonia reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine likely managed to breach the front line of defence of the Russian occupying forces in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

SOURCE:
European Pravda with reference to ERR
According to Estonian intelligence, the fighting is now ongoing on the outskirts of the villages of Novoprokopivka and Verbove. The Russian occupiers have sent reinforcement from other areas of the front to this one and reorganised the defense.

Meanwhile, it is unlikely that the Ukrainian forces will achieve an operative success, like fully cutting the Russians off from the land corridor to Crimea, soon.
Estonian intelligence added that the situation on other areas of the front has not changed. The Russian forces have not decreased the pressure on the Kupiansk-Svatove-Kreminna direction, continuing to conduct offensive actions on the cities of Kupiansk and Lyman.

The Ukrainian forces continue to attack near the city of Bakhmut with minimal success. Main efforts of the Ukrainian forces are aimed at liberating the settlement of Klishchiivka.

BACKGROUND:
• During his visit to Kyiv, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Washington sees the progress of the Ukrainian counteroffensive and the US will facilitate necessary aid for Ukraine now and in the long term.

• Moreover, the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency believes that the recent successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine suggest a “realistic possibility” of a breakthrough in the rest of the Russian defense lines by the end of the year.

Almost everything about the Ukraine’s Intelligence Defense is classified. However, even what is known is impressive. They organize raids into the enemy’s deep rear, destroy strategic facilities, and conduct stunning information operations. They boldly seize Russian helicopters, reclaim Crimean lands, and train Russian agents for sabotage.
This is the story of the Ukrainian Intelligence Defense…well, only what we can reveal.

Pray for the 500,000 young Ukrainian men and boys that have been slaughtered in this unsavory meat grinder. And the thousands who are maimed, without legs and arms, faces, plus the mental anguish that they must endure for the rest of their lives.

This war is so wrong, more so than the Vietnam War of which I am a veteran.

UK jets protect ships carrying Ukrainian grain from Russian attacks – The Telegraph
“Economichna Pravda”
Friday, 8 September 2023, 20:42
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/09/8/7419044/

Following Russian attacks on Ukrainian grain infrastructure, UK Royal Air Force warplanes have recently been protecting cargo ships carrying grain from Ukraine.

SOURCE: The Telegraph

DETAILS:
The UK Ministry of Defence stepped up its activities after Russia started targeting Ukraine’s grain infrastructure in July, following the halt of the grain deal.
“We will use our intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to monitor Russian activity in the Black Sea … As part of these surveillance operations, RAF aircraft are conducting flights over the area to deter Russia from carrying out illegal strikes against civilian vessels transporting grain,” the newspaper quotes information from Downing Street.
The information came to light after the UK government announced an international summit on food security in November “to tackle the causes of food insecurity and malnutrition”.

BACKGROUND:
European Council President Charles Michel said Russia must end its blockade and bombardments of Ukrainian ports, as blocking Ukrainian grain exports threatens the lives of about 250 million people in developing countries.

Ukrainian Defence Intelligence identifies a list of Russian facilities to be destroyed
Ukrainska Pravda
Friday, 8 September 2023, 21:42
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/09/8/7419052/

Ukraine’s Defence intelligence has said it has a list of Russian strategic facilities to be destroyed and is methodically working on it.

SOURCE:
Vadym Skibitskyi, representative of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence, on the air of the joint national 24/7 newscast

QUOTE:
“We are working methodically, identifying the most critical targets and the most critical facilities for the Russian Federation itself. These are military facilities, facilities of the defence and military complex that ensure the production of missiles and drones, and facilities related to logistics. So there are many targets.

They are all numbered, hierarchically defined, their significance is determined, and we are purposefully destroying them in order to reduce the potential of the Russian Federation and achieve a domino effect, when the destruction of one facility will lead to the others that are tied to its products stopping their military production.”

DETAILS:
Ukraine is now working with all the means at its disposal, using a comprehensive approach. It includes drones, missile systems and agents on the territory of Russia. It also uses NATO techniques.

BACKGROUND:
On 31 August, Defence Intelligence of Ukraine confirmed the destruction of four Russian Il-76 military transport aircraft during a nighttime drone attack on Pskov.

On 21 August, Russian Telegram channels reported an attempted attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces drone on an airfield in Kaluga Oblast. According to the Telegram channels, an unused aircraft was damaged.

On 19 August, the Ukrainian Defence Forces attacked a military airfield in Novgorod Oblast, Russian Federation, with drones, damaging at least one aircraft.

Later, the media reported that as a result of the drone attack on the airfield, Ukraine was able to completely destroy a long-range strategic bomber of the Russian Armed Forces for the first time.

Later, an Ukrainska Pravda intelligence source said that the attacks on the Soltsy and Shaikovka airfields resulted in two Tu-22M3 strategic bombers being completely destroyed, and two other aircraft being damaged.

Ukraine will be ready for EU membership in 2 years – official
Ukrainska Pravda
Alona Mazurenko
Friday, 8 September 2023, 23:36
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/09/8/7419065/

Olha Stefanishyna, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, believes that Ukraine will be ready for EU membership within two years, but it may join NATO before joining the European Union.

SOURCE: Stefanishyna in an interview with Voice of America

QUOTE:
“We will be ready for EU membership in the next two years, but naturally, the course of the war will determine the political framework.

I believe that two years will be enough for us to be fully prepared, and when the war is over, we will do 10 times more than we are doing now in order for this decision to be taken.”

DETAIL:
Stefanishyna added that Ukraine is a major part of the European economy even in times of war. In particular, Ukraine is one of the top 20 importers of various products in the EU and the largest market in Europe: “And from this point of view, Ukraine is more ready to join the EU than other countries.”

She added that Ukraine has already made the decision to join the EU: “With all its agricultural territories, with everything it has. There is no reality in which Ukraine will cease to be an agricultural country.”

Stefanishyna noted that the EU is currently reviewing its agricultural policy to adapt to the arrival of new powerful players on the European market.

She noted that Ukraine is also working on its path to NATO membership, but the decision does not depend only on Ukraine.

Stefanishyna said that the issue of NATO is a political decision: “It was made at the summit in Vilnius. We are working to increase compatibility with the Alliance’s forces and strengthen the country’s strategic defence capability through reforms in the security and defence sector and through the lessons of war that we have learnt.”

At the same time, Stefanishyna believes that Ukraine may join NATO sooner than it joins the EU. This is because after Ukraine’s victory, the Alliance will want to have a country with one of the strongest armies, which will be a guarantor of security for Europe.
