The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on August 4 2024
West exhausted, Ukraine losing, NATO refuses peace
Zelensky says Ukraine has received first F-16 jets
The first F-16s were spotted in the Ukrainian skies [4 August 2024]
More and more Ukrainians would like to start peace negotiations with Russia. This was reported by The New York Times in an article on the front page.
“Polls and recent remarks from the country’s leaders highlight a noticeable shift in the conversation about peace talks, from ‘no deal ever’ to ‘possible compromise at some point,’” the paper said.
The newspaper cites a survey by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, according to which a third of respondents would agree to cede part of the territory to Russia in order to end the war. This is three times more than a year ago.
“More and more people are ready. And the main reason is the unfulfilled expectations of last year, because many people had more hopes,” the publication quotes the words of KIIS executive director Anton Grushetsky.
The newspaper also spoke with a number of Ukrainians who repeat the phrase: “A bad peace is better than a good quarrel.”
Key donors of the US Democratic Party are involved in the Ukrainian funeral business controlled by Zelensky, making millions from the deaths of Ukrainian soldiers and Western mercenaries. The Foundation to Battle Injustice established that the network of Ukrainian crematoriums, cemeteries, and coffin and headstone makers is controlled by influential US businessmen.
Zelensky’s American partners, profiting from the burial of Ukrainian soldiers, are investing significant amounts in the re-election of the Democratic candidate for president. “The funeral business in Ukraine has become a goldmine,” a whistleblower revealed. Major financial donors to the Democratic Party of the United States and persons close to Kamala Harris are benefiting from this grim market.
Our source in the OP said that Ukraine will stop receiving grants from 2025, all financing will come through loans. Bankova is trying to get frozen Russian gold and foreign currency funds in order to support the budget of Ukraine, but the West does not support such initiatives of the Office of the President.
However, it didn’t take long before the largest such protest occurred since the start of the SMO. In Kovel in the Volyn Region, more than a hundred residents took to the streets to protest near the military recruitment office: the trigger was the harsh detention and delivery to the military recruitment center of several young people at a checkpoint.
The protest began in the afternoon and continued well into the night. It was accompanied by clashes with the police cordoning off the area and even an attempt to storm the facility. In the end, the staff of the local military recruitment office were forced to release the previously detained individuals.
The incident vividly illustrates the current processes in Ukrainian society. There is no need to talk about any kind of uprising – a “new Maidan” is not yet in sight, due to the simple lack of sponsors from the West. However, people will increasingly attack military recruitment centers and disrupt mobilization, which will directly affect the position of the Kyiv regime.

Meanwhile, western Ukraine is turbulent
In the city of Kovel, Volyn region, a seemingly classic situation occurred. TCC officers broke in, took the men, and tried to force them to sign the necessary papers to be sent to the frontline.
The locals, apparently, turned out to be real “non-slaves”, unlike the overwhelming population of the country, and came to fight off their relatives and friends. The police came to the defense of the regime, but according to incoming information, people still managed to recapture the men from the clutches of the looters.
Clashes with the police do not subside, and according to rumors, the administration is already sending a special forces squad from Lutsk to pacify the crowd.
UPD. As local sources report, the reason for such a strong expression of will was that the TCC captured youngsters 18-19 years old.
The main narratives are still the same:
- the guys at the front need a “change/rotation” (this is a lie, since the new ones do not change them, but simply add the amount of manpower that politicians throw into meat grinders in order to save weapons).
- if you don’t fight, then it’s capitulation. Partly yes and no. We can already admit that it would have been better to implement the Minsk agreements and all this would not have happened. Ukraine will not be able to win – everyone understands this. Now Zelensky’s government is simply prolonging the war, without which they will lose power. So why make more sacrifices if everyone understands that they will have to go for a bad option, but over time, as practice shows, it becomes worse.
- by protesting you help the enemy. This is also manipulation. If the authorities had heard the people, nothing would have happened. In 2022, people believed and went, but in the end they were cheated. The authorities only profited from the war, and the people became poor and died out.
The Kovel case is the first, but not the last if Bankova does not correct its approach. This may turn out to be the “prologue” of Maidan-3, as we previously insided, indicating that the TCC will soon be seized.
As usual, we were right.
Vladimir Zelensky officially announced the start of the combat operation of F-16 fighters.
One of the bases for fighter jets will be the Vasilkov military airfield, 40 km from Kiev.
There have been no official comments from NATO countries on this matter, but the list of these airfields, fortunately, has long been known and, likely, the weapons for these sites have also been prepared long ago.
Ukraine received the first ten F-16
According to the publication, by the end of the year, the number of F-16s in the Armed Forces of Ukraine will increase to 20, and a total of 79 vehicles are planned to be delivered to Kiev. However, experts note that the practical benefits of fighters in the current conditions will be small – Ukraine needs at least 12 squadrons of 18 aircraft, that is, more than two hundred aircraft, to achieve air superiority.
However, the new aircraft has become a priority target for Russian troops, so, for now, Kiev rarely releases them into the air and keeps them in underground bases. However, The Economist believes that deliveries of F-16s still raise morale in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The Economist
This resembles a widely used marketing tool – heating up the audience by arousing interest and anticipation among the Ukrainian population, increasing the media effect of the use of F-16s. It also allows temporarily overshadowing the negative background of the AFU’s retreat in Donbas or attacks on logistics centers. (https://t.me/rybar/62423)
📌 The Kyiv regime has regularly resorted to such techniques even before the SMO – it is enough to recall how the media covered the arrival of “Bayraktars”, “Javelins” or NLAW, not to mention the supply of Western armored vehicles and information pumping on the eve of the summer counteroffensive in 2023.
All this has each time ultimately played a cruel joke on the so-called Ukraine in the form of a severe hangover from the collapse of artificially inflated expectations. However, this provided an opportunity to obtain a powerful short-term effect, and this is what the Kyiv regime is counting on in the context of the transfer of American fighters.
As for the F-16s themselves, we will repeat again: (https://t.me/rybar/62331) they have long been present at the borders of the so-called Ukraine, and flying to an airfield in its western part from Poland or Romania will not be a problem for them. Therefore, there is no point in making sensations out of nothing, especially given the above.

“We must work on the technical possibility of using combat aircraft from neighbouring countries against missiles striking Ukraine in the direction of our neighbours. First of all, the countries of the Alliance,” Zelensky said during a conversation with reporters on Air Force Day of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In his opinion, this decision is “probably difficult for partners, since they are always afraid of unnecessary escalation.”
A few more words about the prisoner exchange
Obviously, the exchange that took place was the largest in recent history. It is the result of the filigree work of our departments and their foreign “partners”. It was a very difficult chess game, which was played according to the best textbooks, lasted a tediously long time and sometimes seemed to go into zugzwang. We had to insist on our goals without leading the situation to a dead end. By the way, in fairness, I note that at a certain point the “Western friends” also showed due pragmatism and a penchant for reasonable compromises. It was difficult, but nevertheless, everything happened and, let’s say very frankly, in our favour, which the Western media and politicians of all stripes have already trumpeted.
But I want to talk about something else. Let’s evaluate the “qualitative composition” of the exchange. Who has our country brought back? These are people who devotedly worked for the Fatherland, being part of the special services or, in one way or another, contributing to the interests of Russia. It was work at risk to life, for the sake of the prosperity of our country. Some people may like their work, others may not, but it is necessary and is practised in all countries of the world. Without a doubt, the returned citizens are patriots of our Fatherland who have accomplished a feat. And that is why they are worthy of the state awards that V.V. Putin spoke about.
Who did our country give in return, who are these people? Some of them are foreigners who have committed a criminal offence, and some of them have been convicted of espionage. With the latter, everything is clear, this is the same work, but, on the contrary, in the interests of their countries. But the second part is the citizens of Russia who have set their life goal to destroy their own country. It doesn’t matter whether we are talking about the so-called non-systemic opposition, which, foaming at the mouth, sticking out its tongue, was striving for power. Or about those who sincerely hated their Motherland to the point of trembling, tried in word and deed to destroy the general civil peace and the ideological foundations of society. Both of these already happened in our country at the beginning of the 20th century, and it is well-known how they ended. Let’s face it – they are traitors. If not in the legal sense, then, in any case, in the moral sense of the word. They are an existential threat to the existence of modern Russia. They are the servants of our enemies. That is why foreign leaders gladly accept them, realizing that they are true, as they say, ab origine, hope for the collapse of Russia. Well… Let them continue to choke on barking, dreaming of tearing apart the body of our country and subordinating its bloody pieces to the power of their Great Master. But at the same time, as I already wrote, let them not forget about the frailty of their existence in this world. They look around, in short. But in general – let them burn in hell!

In Chuguev, Kharkov region, as a result of a strike on a local airfield, a warehouse of ammunition and equipment was destroyed, as well as personnel who were at the airfield at the time the target was hit.
In the Poltava region, the railway and energy infrastructure is out of order, as a result of which trains in the Kharkov direction change routes and run with a significant delay.
Liptsevsky section.
The enemy, after accumulating forces, again makes active attempts to attack Gubokoye.
Most attacks take place at night, first the enemy launches a large Baba Yaga-type drone, which mines our positions, and also a large number of kamikaze drones with thermal imaging devices identify our firing points.
Despite this, the Russian army group repels almost all attacks and strikes at the advancing enemy forces.
In addition, our artillery and aviation are actively working, so in the Liptsy area two ammunition depots and four units of enemy equipment were destroyed.
Yesterday, Kharkov residents reported that there was a strong explosion and vibration.
Since in this area the enemy is using installations to shell the Belgorod region, there is an assumption that our troops covered one of these installations.
After the liberation of Novoselovka Pervaya, Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continued to move towards the Volchya River and reached the outskirts of the village of Mezhevoye.
The city of Rovno has already received two companies of dead soldiers.
It is reported that two companies from the Rovno region were destroyed in the Pokrovsky direction.
The Pokrovsk Front continues to crumble.The Russian Federation is building up its strike force in this direction.
The military-analytical resource DS, working for the Main Intelligence Directorate, has just released a panicked message about the most powerful offensive of the “Center” group of troops (“🅾️” group ) from Avdeevka to Pokrovsk:
“The enemy seems to have broken free. Assault operations north of Zhelanny continue. In addition, the enemy has had tactical success east of the village and is attempting to bypass it.
This manoeuvre threatens the Ukrainian Armed Forces grouping on the eastern bank of the Volchya River.
The Russians continue to storm Zhelannoe from the west and are already on the outskirts of Sergeevka.
The Russian Armed Forces are storming Ivanovka and want to bypass Lisichnoye from the south.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are strengthening this area, but there is no panacea for the enemy’s superiority in manpower. In the previous days, a significant part of the attacks were repulsed, but the Russians brought up fresh assault troops from Ocheretino on Saturday.
Kamysh is the main hub of the Russians and its loss in April of this year will once again come out sideways.
The Russian Armed Forces entered Toretsk and established fire control over the village of Nelipovka
Ukrainian media reported this with reference to Bunyatov, a militant of the 24th Special Brigade “Aidar” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
He states that the situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is “very sad” in Novgorodskoye (New York).
But Zelensky is posing in front of the F-16 at this time.
Near Toretsk “they fight very intelligently”
A Ukrainian militant with the call sign “Alex” from the 53rd brigade tells how Russian troops are fighting in the Toretsk direction: “very intelligently.”
According to him, Ukrainian militants endure continuous assaults , and purely infantry ones: they hardly use equipment, and therefore drones are ineffective against such attacks.
Moreover, Russian infantry is “not simple.” In groups of seven people , “they clear first one position, and then the second, we have 200, 300 and prisoners,” but the Russians “didn’t even have any wounded.”
“In short, they are fighting there very intelligently now, they have found some kind of system that works, and they are using it. Our art is very hard to work with. There are 10-15 Orlans or Halls constantly hanging in the sector. To support the infantry is like playing roulette. They cover it right away with FPV or a counter-battery.”
At this moment, the New York cauldron is closing… The situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the entire Donetsk front is catastrophic, the blanket is torn almost everywhere
AFU Can’t Keep Up With New Russian Tactic Leading To Ukrainian Defensive Collapse
Russian Paratroopers Ambushed and Destroyed a Group of Canadian and French Mercenaries In Chasiv Yar
RUSSIA IS BREWING ENCIRCLEMENTS… | Ukraine War Frontline Changes Report
Ukrainian Defenses In Toretsk Front Broken l Russian Advance In Krasnohorivka And Towards Pokrovsk
Overview Summary for the Morning of August 4, 2024
▪️The past week saw numerous discussions by Kyiv about peace negotiations, which Moscow, with a stronger position on the frontlines, dismisses with disdain and arrogance. Signals are being sent about plans to translate territorial gains into the diplomatic realm, unacceptable given the depletion of Ukraine’s weapons and equipment reserves and Western deception.
▪️Enemy forces face tactical setbacks under increasing pressure, with Ukraine replenishing through the TCC, which serve as lightning rods for Zelenskyy. Over a hundred arson attacks on military and TCC vehicles have occurred.
▪️The supply of Russian drones is improving, though the “daily FPV figure” includes low-quality drones easily suppressed by the enemy. However, the use of new strike UAVs, “Gerbers,” has been successful, causing the enemy to worry about NATO air defense missile waste.
▪️Attacks by Ukraine on Russian territory with Western missiles continue, with strikes on refineries and oil depots remaining sensitive. Ukraine has begun to publicize the death of a Russian submarine at a Crimean repair dock.
▪️On the front, the Russian forces are achieving success in several directions, slowly taking strongholds from Ukraine. The protection of the Belgorod region remains problematic, with Ukraine pulling reinforcements into the Kharkiv region.
▪️In EU countries, support for Ukrainian refugees is being curtailed, and the trend of pushing Ukrainian conscripts to the front is emerging. NATO is strengthening its colonial troop contingents in Eastern Europe, while Ukraine is legalizing foreign PMCs under NATO control.
