Defendant in case of car bombing of former SBU officer Prozorov given 16 years
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The military court sentenced Rostislav Zhuravlev, a defendant in the case of the bombing of the car of former officer of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Vasily Prozorov, to 16 years in prison. This was reported in court on August 18.

“To sentence Zhuravlev to 16 years of imprisonment,” the judge announced.

According to the court's decision, the convicted person will spend the first five years in prison, after which he will be sent to a maximum security penal colony.

In addition, Zhuravlev was fined 500 thousand rubles. The convicted man admitted his guilt and signed a pre-trial agreement, so his case was separated into a separate proceeding.

On April 12, 2024, Prozorov's parked SUV was blown up in Moscow. The explosive device detonated when he got into the car and started it. The man was hospitalized with a leg injury. The FSB later reported the arrest of the first suspect in the car bombing, who turned out to be Russian citizen Vladimir Golovchenko (an individual included in the list of terrorists and extremists in the Russian Federation). He admitted that he lived in Ukraine, where he was recruited by the SBU.

The second person arrested, courier Ivan Paskar (an individual included in the Russian Federation's list of terrorists and extremists), explained that it was he who delivered the explosives to Moscow after receiving them in Lithuania. On April 23, a third participant in the assassination attempt on the former SBU lieutenant colonel was detained in Lugansk. He transferred 10,000 rubles to the courier for the delivery of weapons disguised as cosmetics from Lithuania to Russia.

According to the FSB, another SBU agent involved in the assassination attempt was Yaroslava Khrestina (listed by Rosfinmonitoring as a terrorist and extremist). On December 24, 2024, a Moscow court arrested her in absentia under articles on committing a terrorist act and illegal trafficking of explosives as part of an organized group. Zhuravlev took photos of the house on Korovinskoye Highway and the cars near it - at the request of his common-law wife Khrestina, said his lawyer Artur Abatsiev.

Two Tu-95MS missile carriers made a scheduled flight over the Barents Sea
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Two Tu-95MS strategic missile carriers of the Russian long-range aviation carried out a scheduled patrol over the Barents Sea. This was reported on Monday, August 18, by the Russian Defense Ministry.

“The Tu-95MS strategic missile carriers of the Russian Aerospace Forces’ long-range aviation carried out a planned flight in the airspace over the neutral waters of the Barents Sea,” the department reported.

The Defense Ministry specified that the missile carriers' flight lasted more than four hours and during it the Tu-95MS were accompanied by the crews of the Navy's Su-33 aircraft. In addition, at certain stages of the patrol, the Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft were accompanied by fighters of foreign countries.

The military department has repeatedly emphasized that all flights of Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft are conducted in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace.

Earlier, on June 11, the long-range supersonic Tu-22M3 missile-carrying bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out a planned flight over the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea. On some sections of the flight, the Russian Tu-22M3s, which were accompanied by Su-30SM and Su-27 fighters, were followed by military aircraft of foreign countries.

Before this, on May 20, two Tu-95MS missile carriers carried out a planned flight over the neutral waters of the Barents Sea. During the patrol, they were accompanied by Su-33 fighters.

FSB prevents car bomb attack on Crimean Bridge
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Federal Security Service (FSB) officers prevented a terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge, which was planned by Ukrainian special services. On Monday, August 18, the FSB Public Relations Center (PRC) reported that the sabotage was being prepared using a mined car.



According to the department, a powerful homemade explosive device was in a Chevrolet Volt, which arrived in Russia in transit through several countries. The car entered the territory of the Russian Federation through the Verkhniy Lars checkpoint in North Ossetia.

The plan was for another driver in Russia to take the wheel and head to Crimea across the bridge, unaware that he was carrying a bomb, thus becoming an unwitting suicide bomber.

The FSB noted that despite the attempts of the Ukrainian special services to carefully disguise the explosive device, it was discovered and neutralized in a timely manner. In addition, it was possible to detain everyone involved in organizing the delivery of the explosives. A criminal case was opened on this fact.

The special service also published footage of the arrest of those planning to commit a terrorist attack and the inspection of a mined car.

This is the second attempt by Ukrainian special services in 2025 to sabotage the Crimean Bridge using a car bomb. On April 2, Belarusian security forces detained a minibus containing more than 500 kg of synthetic explosives at the Brest customs office on the Belarusian-Polish section of the Union State border. It was also intended to commit a terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge. According to the department's employees, in that case the driver also did not know that he was carrying explosives and was supposed to be a suicide bomber.

The head of the Russian Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, said at the end of July that five citizens of Ukraine and Georgia were put on the wanted list during the investigation of the terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge in 2022. According to him, all these individuals were charged in absentia with committing a terrorist attack, as well as with illegal trafficking and smuggling of explosive devices.

Russian Armed Forces find basement with bodies of Ukrainian soldiers during mop up of Iskra village in DPR
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Dozens of bodies of Ukrainian servicemen were discovered by Russian fighters during a cleanup of houses in the village of Iskra in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). This was reported by the Russian Defense Ministry.

“It turned out to be an improvised semblance of a hospital for the 5th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade, where the wounded were bandaged and given painkiller injections, after which they were left to die,” the defense department explained.

It is noted that during the liberation of Iskra, the Ukrainian Armed Forces stubbornly resisted. Russian units broke the defense and completely drove the enemy out of the settlement.

Also in Iskra, Ukrainian militants killed a pensioner who, together with her husband, was trying to leave the village.

Russian troops in the Kursk region are evacuating abandoned bodies of Ukrainian fighters and foreign mercenaries. Nationalist prisoners of war have repeatedly confirmed that Ukrainian commanders ordered their subordinates via radio to finish off seriously wounded comrades during the retreat.

Syrsky reveals plans to strengthen the Ukrainian Armed Forces with robots
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] During 2025, it is planned to deliver 15 thousand robots to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) so that fewer soldiers can be sent to the battlefield. This was announced on August 18 by the Commander-in-Chief of the AFU Oleksandr Syrsky.


“This year, we have planned to deliver 15,000 ground robotic platforms for various purposes to the troops,” he told the publication RBC-Ukraine.

At the same time, Syrsky called the situation difficult for the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front, noting that the Russian army continues to advance. In such conditions, it is difficult to introduce any innovations, he added.

In early February, the former head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and now Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Rustem Umerov announced the appearance of robotic brigades in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to him, the Ukrainian military will use unmanned ground systems both in the offensive and defensive, as well as in logistics, evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield, mining and demining.
