It's not something I like to go on about because the focus should always be my work from Donbass, but today, 8th September, International Day of Solidarity with Journalists let me say this - I've been sanctioned for over 1500 days by my own country, the UK, all for showing the truth from Donbass. I honestly wouldn't wish being sanctioned like I have on anyone, everything you have taken away from you, but I remain here in Donbass, and will remain, showing the truth! Photo Donetsk 2014.

Russian drone or more internal ukrainian infighting? In any case, HQ of ukraine's SBU special services in Kiev hit, and nice photos from the ground to boot!!

Ukraine thought it would be a good idea to bomb Russian warehouses, depos and shopping centres, Russia then responded in kind, Ukraine is now reporting around 90% of its depo infastructure destroyed, and food shortages are now a daily reality. Ukrainian Nazis didn't really think that through...

What to say about Andy Burnham strumming some Smiths on his Kiev visit in the week.... well, some points: * The Smiths songs are about a Great Britain in perpetual decline... * Morrissey has never said one word in support of ukraine * Frankly Mr Andy Pandy you are bang out of tune and that was fucking cringe * Fiddling while Kiev burns and all the rest of it...

So at the start of the week we had what looks to have been CIA supremo John Ratcliffe going to Russia to propose some kind of absurd 'peace deal'. He was sent packing so quickly he didn't even have time to unpack, and seems to have then signalled to ukraine that they can do what they want, and so, being the ukrainian Nazis they are, they unleashed a series of brutal attacks on the civilian population of Donbass, and not only. Donetsk was blitzed yesterday, including the Donetsk City shopping centre being hit - 8 civilians wounded, an actual miracle no one was killed. Sadly not the case in the LPR where an absolutely outrageous, broad daylight attack on a civilian minibus killed 10 people, wounding several more. And this is far from a definitive list. Given that ukraine's use of 'peace proposals' is sheer dark arts - make a ridiculous proposal they know will be rejected, tell all their western partners, backers, media 'they tried', get their greenlight to go ahead and terrorise the civilian population of Russia, which as Nazis, they relish. Unless this situation changes, it's very hard to see how 'peace talks' provide the resolution we all want to stop the destruction and death...

What 'threats' from Russia? Russia has said that if the UK continues to spend UK taxpayer money not on the good of the British citizen, but supporting Ukrainian Nazis killing Russian citizens, there will be consequences. Sounds more like a good opportunity for the UK to have a proper think about the principles of actions and concomitant consequences...

A typically excellent article by Kirill Kalinin!! https://iol.co.za/news/opinion/2026-08-24-a-reality-check-on-the-successes-of-ukraines-35-years-of-independence/

🇬🇧 Around 50 British men have died fighting for Ukrainian Nazis, it is now reported that the first British man has died fighting for the Russian side. Bradley Townsend, from Barnsley, was killed by drone on June 10th in Donbass, having only come over to fight in April. Of course it's a sad story, sad that Bradley, who I didn't know personally but heard only good things about, was killed. Hopefully the wide reporting of his death will make some British people think about things more deeply, Bradley had a logical, sincere reason for wanting to help Donbass, a debt of gratitude to Donbass miners' support of Yorkshire miners in the 80s. When we celebrate the Great Victory over Ukrainian Nazis, Bradley deserves to be, and will be remembered.

Robert Brovdi, head of ukraine's drone division. For someone supposedly 'fighting for Ukraine's freedom', interesting that his social media posts are written in English, not ukrainian. And that face of his, geezo, that is the personification of evil right there...

What it's come to in the UK, begging illegal migrants not to rape our women... hard to see any positive from something so utterly pathetic, but at least it's some acknowledgement that illegal migrants may not be quite the 'doctors and nurses' we were told before... 🫥🫥🫥

In a grinding war of attrition, the winner is always going to be the side which has more to attrit. Here in Russian Mariupol, and in Donbass for my 5th straight summer, and 5th summer of the SMO, this has definitely been the hardest summer so far - petrol crisis, relentless ukrainian drone attacks on energy infrasctucture, and not only, power blackouts, and of course and worst of all every day destruction and death here in Russia, the civilian death count in the hundreds, including dozens of children killed. However we've got through it, and although it's no coincidence that there are far fewer civilian deaths in ukraine, because Russia doesn't target civilians, it's still worse there. Kiev can be found on any given night a smouldering mass as logistical centres are eliminated one by one, with food shortages becoming more common by the week. Targeted Russian strikes have effectively taken Odessa port out of operation, leaving ukraine more or less landlocked. And that's before we even start on a ukrainian army recruitment crisis so severe it has screaming fathers being dragged off the streets to serve in front of their equally screaming children. And a demographic crisis so extreme we're on course to see ukraine soon at around half its population before the ukraine-terminating 'Euromaidan' of 2013/14, under 25 million, with any next generation notable only by their complete absence. And then politics, ukraine's fortunes are of course perpetually at the feet of the mighty western behemouths, and what there. Trump obviously is Trump, sometimes more pro-ukrainian than old Joe, other times leaving Kiev without any air defence missiles giving Russia a generous portion of fish in a very inviting barrel. The UK's Andy Burnham has said all the standard things, but everyone knows his main interest is in doing TikTok videos showing us all what a 'top bloke' he is, and making a mock-up Number 10 in Manchester. Macron is fading like an old slap mark, next up.... bring on Marine, she's not the biggest ukraine fan, is she. And even politics back home, dictator Zelensky is clinging onto power yet every single opinion poll shows that if they actually had a democratic election there he would get about as many votes as his wife has designer handbags, hundreds or low thousands. So yeah, ukraine can fuck shit up here in Russia a bit, sadly, kill civilians, tragically. But probably not even Boris Johnson in his black heart of black hearts actually things ukraine can win. Ukraine is in a very bad place at the end of this summer 2026, but unless ukraine changes tack dramatically, comes to the table with some proposals to resolve this, then by the time winter rolls around summer of 26 could be looking like a real dolce vita there, not to even mention by the end of winter. The abyss for ukraine is near, and beckoning, on so many levels.

Jason Arday dead, killed by the woke apparently there to help him.... If he'd been a white guy it would've been clear to all he was a bullshitting simpleton, he'dve been quickly called out on that, and that would have been that - he either goes through a life on the lower rungs as Billy Liar, and no ones cares, or changes. However as Arday was black, apparently no one in the UK dared to question any aspect of his physical endurance-defying, time-bending, Walter Mitty tales, until he got right to the top, and even then it wasn't a British person, but an American academic, Nathan Cofnas who pulled the first, and then the whole house of cards collapsed. Jason Arday should have clearly been saved from himself, by which I mean called out as a bullshitter and given a job commensurate to his capabilities, shelf stacking, hosting Milli Vanilli evenings at his local pub etc. At least that way he could have lived out a full life and made some contribution. As it was, he's dead at 41 and enters the lexicon as a modern-day Pinocchio, a joke for all time. And let's be honest, he's now got us looking at every single black person in academia and wondering if they should really be there... Just woke doing as woke does, turning everything it touches with its death touch of righteous tolerance to wreck and ruin.

I've spent most of this last week in Mariupol without electricity due to ukrainian Nazis nightly mass drone bombing of Mariupol targeting power plants. As the drones fly overhead, you can almost feel the anger of those flying them, the Nazi ukrainian Azov Battalion, kicked out of Mariupol forever in 2022 and now the only way they can return is via drone, and the only 'contribution' they have to make to Mariupol is trying to mess up people's lives here as much as they can. The only thing they actually succeed in is creating temporary inconvenience, and making even people here who had some pro-ukraine sympathies despise them and long for their destruction. More 'winning', ukrainian Nazi style.

In the last week, among countless other incidents, ukrainian Nazis intentionally bombed a beach full of children, in Gelendzhik, causing mass death, and intentionally flew a drone into a hospital ward in Donetsk before detonating it, again causing death. Targeting children, hospital patients.... it simply does not get any more evil. And more, these events actually did receive some coverage in western media. Is it a rhetorical question to ask how 'guardians of what is good and right', the European Union, can continue to support this??

A couple of days ago ukrainian Nazis attacked a beach full of children. Today, again by drone, they attacked a hospital in the centre of Donetsk, flying right into the ward, detonating, killing a woman in her late 70s, wounding 2 more patients in their 70s.

With ukraine's air defences all on summer holiday, Kiev went up like petrol poured on a summer barbeque as all 28 Russian missiles smashed into their targets, military and military-related infrastructure!

In the Kiev region, as a result of a nighttime strike by the Russian Armed Forces, the largest warehouse of the Ukrainian online marketplace ROZETKA was destroyed. Also destroyed were terminals of "Nova Poshta," warehouses of the "Epicentr" hypermarkets, and Novus. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

Just found out that Cambridge professor Jason Arday wrote The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, worked as a camerman on Minder and appeared in every episode of Lovejoy as a different guest star. What a guy!!!!

Insane footage... a Nazi Ukrainian drone slams into a crowded beach in Gelendzhik, minimum of 6 people killed, including 3 children, 40 wounded....
