Belgium will allocate 150 million euros ($165 million) to restore civilian and energy infrastructure in Kyiv and Chernihiv oblasts, the Ukrainian government announced on August 30.

As part of its reconstruction efforts in Ukraine, Brussels has taken on the responsibility for rebuilding two regions, including the cities of Kyiv and Chernihiv, which have endured numerous Russian attacks since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

. . .

The agreements outline plans for the reconstruction, renovation, and construction of education, healthcare, and energy infrastructure. Additionally, the two countries aim to build shelters in Ukraine and implement backup power and heating systems.

"In any case, there are victims. But they are silent. "We have everything under control," they say,"

— Another column of the Russian Armed Forces and a pontoon crossing were destroyed in the Kursk region, as evidenced by videos published by eyewitnesses.

"Kursk Region, Zvannoye village. Destroyed engineering structure and two groups of engineering equipment," says the Belgorod People's Republic channel, which published footage from the scene. It is claimed that the footage was filmed on August 28.

On August 28, a video also appeared on Ukrainian military channels showing strikes on military equipment in an area similar to the area in the video from the village of Zvannoye.

"Russian pontoon workers in Kursk region are very unlucky. Once they left to build a crossing, but did not arrive. First, the Big Brother worked, and then the engineering vehicles were burned by drones," blogger Sternenko wrote in his post.

✈️ Operation planning, weapons programming, combat sortie, high-precision strike, objective control and thanks from the commander. And so every day! Relentlessly and selflessly. Ukrainian MiG-29 uses GBU-62 JDAM-ER aerial bombs on bridge crossings in Kurshchyna. Did you recognize the pilot?

Russian state TV saying the quiet part out loud - if they can't vassalize Ukraine, they want to "liquidate" it.

A war of annihilation

It is firmly stated by leading Russian voices that the war is holy, against not only Ukraine but also the West, and a matter of the survival of the Russian state, as Kremlin pundits have suggested for some time. The wanton destruction in Ukraine of infrastructure, power stations, dams, harbours, grain storage facilities etc. is clearly intended to break the spirit of Ukrainians and bring civil life to a standstill especially during the coming winter.

By summer 2024, the war had moved further into a campaign of annihilation of all that is Ukrainian; the Ukrainian state, culture, identity, and anything which defines it as a nation or state.

Now, supposedly, ‘the only solution is the total liquidation of Ukraine’.

This blunt assessment is not ours. It is the key message in leading, Russian state-controlled outlets, like the main TV channels, or the RT-Sputnik network, reaching global audiences and indicating the political direction.

It expands on Putin’s erroneous claim from July 2021 that Ukraine is an artificial creation. But there is a considerable distance from Putin’s semi-philosophical, yet ridiculous, concept that Ukraine should in theory not exist, to loud and clear calls for the liquidation of all that is Ukrainian. A precise quote from Sputnik illuminates this imperialist, revisionist position.

“Стратегически может быть достигнуто одно – единственное решение, связанное с Украиной, это полная ее ликвидация как самостоятельной структуры”

Our translation into English:

“Strategically, one thing can be achieved – the only solution related to Ukraine is its complete liquidation as an independent entity”

The words came from the Russian parliamentary deputy, political advisor Anatoly Wasserman. He may not be the most prominent speaker, but his words and similar calls by others are condoned and promoted. Having less prominent speakers push the boundaries of mainstream communication and perceptions is a Kremlin tactic we have already documented.

Don’t be deceived.
