Sometimes the author of the newsletter below writes of his life and family in zone 404…since the pace of the war quickens to victory and the “action” in Dinpro is spoken of in Military Summary above, this letter seems worth posting, from Locals… I’ve read many of these letters, and believe they’re genuine…nevertheless, with salt is best…

START “30 August, Dnipro, Morning.

Was a whole night of air raid alarms last night, started around 7 pm, with the last explosions around 430 am. It’s starting to get fairly normal now, and when the explosions start it’s kind of comforting in a weird sort of way. None close to our compound, didn’t even bother the dogs thankfully. Some airdefence but as a friend who operates a PVO unit told me, they really just fire to let everyone know they are awake now. The past week has seen a series of attacks, and the level of damage they are doing to industrial enterprises is starting to take a toll. For those who are unsure of what Russia is targeting, i can tell you they only target military complex or infrastructure, and they are deadly accurate. One of our iT staff in Kiev confirmed to me that one of the apartment buildings struck in Friday mornings attack was a legitimate target, and it destroyed the target. A second holding was hit by a PVO interceptor. The Kiev cabal continues to place drone assembly and other military facilities in apartment complexes and very near to civilian buildings. I was in Kiev last week and went to stay at a hotel in town as I had an early mtg the next day in the centre, and it is too hard to get across the river in the morning, and as i pulled into the street it was blocked by military. I pointed out i needed to get to the hotel as my car required secure parking, and I was told I couldn’t. I went around a back entrance I know, and double parked so I could go and ask reception, and they confirmed the parking was closed to anyone without a pass which they gave me. When I asked security why there was military in the street, including a Bradley and BTR, he told me that the building next door had been commandeered by the sbu/gru. This is in an area surrounded by high rise buildings, in an elite part of Kiev. I gave them back my pass, and went back across the river to our apartment for the night.

I have also done a few trips west to pick up medical supplies these past few weeks, and one to help with a evacuation, and I can confirm military supplies continue to flow, at similar levels as before. In one convoy under police escort there were five trucks with containers on the back plastered with Gepard Tech all over them. What a bunch of clowns ffs.

TCC officers and police have stepped up their attempts to find more ‘volunteers’, a cabinetmaker I use was mobilised the day after I paid him for all the cabinets and kitchen etc for a new home we are building near our compound for extra accomodation. His wife rang me distraught to say he couldn’t finish the job but he had already bought all the materials and she couldn’t afford to pay us back. After assuring her it was fine, and that she could keep the money as we would continue to use him when the war was over, she broke down crying so I sent my partner over to her home to comfort her. Vitaly has two young children and a wife, and despite never having had any training he is forced off to war by half a dozen men who are in the military, with full training, but won’t fight….

There are so many similar stories, it is hard sometimes to ignore them and not be depressed. My hatred for western leaders, and Zelenksy could not get any greater. So too my hatred for trump and his moronic administration for not bringing this to an immediate end by ending all aid to Ukraine and telling Europe they stop the war, or the usa is out of nato and they are on their own. Their own opinion polls in Ukraine show the overwhelming number of Ukrainians want the war ended on any terms, yet still they encourage the fuckwit cokehead and his illegitimate junta.

There is no morale in Ukraine, people just ignore the war as best they can. For those with loved ones fighting they just start every day with prayer which they carry throughout the day. ‘Budiyet OK’ is what they constantly say, which translates as it will be OK, is their only response when you ask if they are OK or need anything.

When I was in the west last week I drove past the Flex factory, it’s completely fucked. We are building a home in Zakarpattia, and when I met with the builders they were shocked that Mukachevo had been struck, and more than a little worried, but all acknowledged the factory was assembling pcbs for drone and mortars.

The outcome of this conflict is not in any doubt, and never has been, and one day all those who pretended otherwise to perpetuate this slaughter, leading to the death and destruction in Ukraine must pay for their duplicity, and stupidity. I don’t believe they are stupid, I don’t believe they ever thought Ukraine could defeat Russia, and as i speak Russian, and like borsch, I for one would like to see Russia continue to the English channel and liberate Europe. I constantly tell those I come in contact with, stop fighting Russia, turn west, and join with them, and march on Calais.

We have had a coldish week the past week, it’s just starting to warm up again now for a few days. Trees are already rapidly changing colour, and autumn is approaching fast. I think it will be an early, and cold winter this year, exactly what Europe needs. ” ENDE

Tagsspiegle and bloomberg publish new target zone list…https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-27/rheinmetall-opens-europe-s-largest-artillery-ammunition-factory

The largest ammunition production plant in Europe, built by the Rheinmetall AG in the area of Unterlus (Lower Saxony), begins work on Wednesday.

The company plans to reach full capacity by 2027 – then the plant will be able to produce up to 350K units of ammunition per year. The company also plans to assemble rocket artillery installations there starting in 2026.

The plant was laid out in early 2024 and was supposed to be launched in late spring or summer of the same year, but construction was delayed.

However, Rheinmetall AG has completed construction of another large factory in Weeze near the border with the Netherlands, where fuselage compartments for F-35 fighter-bombers will be assembled.

On Monday, Rheinmetall AG also announced its intention to build ammunition production facilities in Bulgaria, along with a gun powder factory. The company has its own branches in Spain and Hungary, and yet another one is being built in Lithuania; negotiations on cooperation with the government of Latvia are also underway. Besides, the company maintains a tank repair facility in Ukraine.

Of the dead boy…Mrs P remarked> The sexually confused are generally given various drugs, one may speculate as to the effects of use and also of withdrawal upon the creatures’ mind. Xanax, for example, given for anxiety, has in withdrawal the effect, they say, of suicide and murder. Worse, they say, than herion as to addiction and far worse in withdrawal.

Of “sanctions”, as Wolfe and Hudson say, the obvious effect of this extortion racket, it to hurry the collapse of US Treasury Bond credit, and thus the day the social supports cannot be paid. The self-evident consequence will be, it’s said, domestic, er, “difficulties”…as Comrade Joti might put it, “revolution”…ahem, cough cough.
