[Official Toonie Tuesday 🎗️ @toonie_tuesday]

Let us introduce you to this coming week’s Toonie Tuesday.

The 13th Main Directorate of the Military Counterintelligence Department is a specialized asymmetric warfare and special purpose unit within Ukraine's Security Service (SBU), widely recognized for executing high-impact drone strikes against Russian naval and military assets in the Black Sea region. Operates combined tactical units utilizing both "Sea Baby" surface/underwater drones and aerial FPV drones in coordinated attacks. The 13th is responsible for a number of high-profile operations, including disabling a Russian Project 636.3 Kilo-class submarine in Novorossiysk and destroying strategic Russian radar installations (such as the Neva radar) on Black Sea gas platforms. Check it out and see you Tuesday!

Na Telegramovych kanálech se šíří varování, že ruští okupanti začali zasypávat kyjevskou oblast malými protipěchotními minami (tzv. "pelustky"), které je možné odpálit jediným došlápnutím.

Je těžké je zahlédnout, a už při minimálním stlačení výbušnina exploduje a je schopna utrhnout nohu nebo část chodidla. Varování platí zejména na polích, v lesích a na krajnicích silnic.

Mají různé barvy, často jsou hnědé, zelené, aby nebyly vidět. No a tyhle "vrtulky" jsou růžové, takže sice jsou vidět o něco lépe, ale zase ... přitahují děti... 🙈

Rusko je odporné 💩 na botě světa 🌍 .

🔴 A Russian Telegram channel post this video with a caption:

“Kherson. Red zone.
Street after street, house after house. Everything is going according to plan.”

They are deliberately destroying the city with 60,000 civilians living here.

Here is the intent. This is genocide.

Russland verbrennt in der Ukraine nicht nur Bücher. Es versucht, die Kultur, die Sprache und die Geschichte eines ganzen Landes auszulöschen.

Das ist kein Nebeneffekt des Krieges. Das ist eines seiner Ziele

Eine ukrainische Familie mit acht Kindern – getötet durch eine russische Rakete mitten in der Nacht.

Noch am Leben ist Danylo Voronov, 23, der älteste Sohn, ein ukrainischer Soldat. Er hat bei dem russischen Angriff Ende Juli nicht nur seine Eltern und Geschwister verloren, sondern auch seinen eineinhalb Jahre alten Sohn, Artem.

Ich habe Danylo vor den Trümmern des Wohnhauses in einem Dorf bei Krywyj Rih getroffen. Wie kann ein Mensch mit so einem Verlust umgehen? Wie soll Danylo jemals wieder in Frieden mit Putins Russland leben können?

Am Montag kehrt Danylo zu seiner Brigade in die Frontregion zurück.

Kyiv.
Late morning.
During the night attack, a book market was hit.

Books again.

The latest book I bought is The Book at War by Andrew Pettegree. I want to research what happened to books during wars.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Emergency services are working at the sites of the Russian strikes that took place this morning and last night. In Kyiv, the fires were quickly extinguished, and emergency work is now ongoing. The Russians injured six people in the city and the region. Kremenchuk and Kryvyi Rih were also hit with ballistic missiles. Wherever the Russians can reach with their ballistic missiles, they strike civilian infrastructure. In Kryvyi Rih, two people were killed and 14 others were injured. One person was killed in Sumy. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Since this morning, air raid alerts have continued in many regions – the Russians launched another wave of drones.

This week alone, 13 regions came under attack. The enemy launched more than 1,550 attack drones, nearly 1,560 guided aerial bombs, and 62 missiles at our cities and communities, most of them ballistic missiles of various types.

I am grateful to all the services – State Emergency Service units, police, and medics – who are the first to arrive at the sites of attacks, help people, and respond quickly to save lives and restore normalcy. It is very important that this dedication of our people be complemented by new steps from our partners to protect the skies. When North Korean ballistic missiles destroy infrastructure and claim lives here in Europe, European interceptors cannot simply be allowed to sit in storage. Lives need to be protected. Russia must be stopped. New packages literally mean lives saved and infrastructure protected every single day. I thank every partner who is helping with this.

Last night, the small hours of 16 August, Russia hit Kyiv with ballistic missiles. KN-23s, Iskander-M, S-400, Zircon. By 3am the book market was burning: two thousand square metres of it. The entrance to Pochaina metro was damaged too.

It wasn’t the first time. They burned these same rows on 15 June - the books, the antiques, the souvenirs. Then again at the end of July. Last night they finished the job.

And it isn’t only Petrivka. Publishers say more than 10 million books have been destroyed in strikes on warehouses in recent months – 8 million in a single drone strike on a children’s publisher in Kharkiv on 1 August.

You do not burn 10 million books by accident. You burn books when you have a problem with the people who read them.

There is no going back there. There is nothing to go back to.

And somewhere in that ash is a man who was already standing at his table when I was seven years old, selling the same books, in the same spot, for thirty years. That table was not nostalgia to him. It was his income. It was, most likely, his entire working life.

Russia is burning our childhoods, because they want us to forget who we are.

We remember. And we will remember exactly who they are, and what they did to us, until the last of our days, and I hope for generations after that too.

[Maria Drutska 🇺🇦 @maria_drutska]

📚 RUSSIA HAS DEFEATED the book market of my childhood.

Let me tell you about a place you’ve never heard of.

Petrivka. A book market in Kyiv, now called Pochaina metro. Before the internet existed for us, it was simply where you went for books. Rows and rows of them, open air, all year, in the rain and in the snow.

I first went there holding my grandmother’s hand. I was small. We bought school textbooks, extra maths problem books, an English dictionary that I still remember the weight of.

#NAFO Friends , do you see this tweet? For those who want to collect a little piece of Odesa 🇺🇦💙💛
I’m releasing a very small OdesaSisters Limited Collector’s Edition — only 9 framed sets will ever be made. It’s more than a collection — it’s a small piece of Odesa to keep. Something created here and now, carrying a little part of our city and its story during Ukraine’s fight for freedom. 🇺🇦
Each frame will be individually numbered and signed by me and my sister @tatyanaodesssa with 5 removable OdesaSisters patches and our Gratitude Letter inside.
You can take the patches out to use or keep in your collection — and the letter remains beautifully displayed in the frame.
🍂 In September, our new autumn patch design will be released and the collection will continue — but it will look different. This exact framed edition will never be repeated.
And if you simply want one of the patches rather than the full collector’s set, individual patches are available too.
Made in Odesa. 🇺🇦 worldwide shipping included.

[Mariia Kramarenko @KramarenkoMari3]

Unpopular opinion: The Western "Left vs. Right" spectrum is completely inapplicable to post-colonial nations like Ukraine.
In the West, political ideology sits on a grid of economic policy and culture wars. In Ukraine, the only axis that matters is sovereignty vs. subjugation.
Labels like "Right" or "Left" fail here because defensive anti-colonial liberation (reclaiming language, identity, and statehood) isn't "right-wing conservatism." It's the baseline precondition for existence. Meanwhile, old "leftist" structures here were simply vehicles for Soviet imperial control.
Trying to force Ukraine into Western political boxes turns basic self-preservation into an "ideology." We don't fit the spectrum because the spectrum wasn't built for nations fighting to exist.

❗️Moldova could become the Kremlin’s next key target.

According to The New York Times, citing Western intelligence sources, Moscow views gaining control over Moldova as one of its major strategic objectives after Ukraine.

The Kremlin has also not abandoned the idea of creating a land corridor through southern Ukraine to Transnistria.

According to the NYT, during a closed briefing at the end of 2025, Putin reportedly tasked Russia’s security apparatus with weakening NATO and the EU from within throughout 2026.

This is yet another reminder: Russia’s war does not end at Ukraine’s borders.

Moldova, the Black Sea, NATO’s southern flank, and Europe’s internal resilience are all part of the same security picture.

Ukraine today is holding back a threat far greater than a struggle over its own territory.

16-year-old Yuriy and his father were cycling to Bucha with food for elderly people when a Russian soldier stopped them.

He shot Yuriy’s father, then Yuriy several times. Yuriy reached for his father in a pool of blood. The soldier shot him again and left him for dead. Yuriy survived, The Independent. 1/
