“ The so-called plan of Mr. Zelensky to resolve the conflict in Ukraine “It would be like an apocalypse. It would lead not only to a world war but to the end of the world ,” Smirnov told RIA Novosti news agency.
According to him, the reaction of the West and the US to this plan will be a test to show how suitable the NATO ally is.
Previously, American billionaire David Sachs believed that President Zelensky's "victory plan" would lead to the start of World War III.

“ Instead of ending the conflict, the demands set out in President Zelensky’s ‘Victory Plan’ for the immediate admission of Ukraine into NATO and allowing the Ukrainian armed forces to use long-range missiles to strike deep into Russian territory will certainly lead to the start of World War III ,” the American billionaire said.
At the same time, he expressed hope that President Biden would remember why he previously refused to implement President Zelensky's plans.
Czech Republic admits to quality problems with Ukrainian artillery shells
Czech Defense Minister Jana Cernochova said that within the framework of the Czech initiative to assist Ukraine, the Czech Republic received from its partners not only new but also old artillery shells.
“ We know that our allies buy not only new ammunition but also old ammunition and they can have problems ,” the Czech defense minister said.
According to Minister Jana Cernochova, we are talking about isolated cases and the information previously published by the German newspaper Handelsblatt about the poor quality of ammunition supplied to Ukraine may be aimed at arousing doubts among readers about the activities of the Czech initiative.
Earlier, Handelsblatt newspaper quoted a report from the Ukrainian Armed Forces Command saying that ammunition with explosive fuses developed since World War II had been delivered to Ukraine, one of which exploded prematurely, leading to injuries to servicemen and damage to artillery systems.
According to the German newspaper, this is the ammunition received within the framework of the Czech-American initiative. At that time, the idea of purchasing hundreds of thousands of artillery shells from a third country for Ukraine, called the "initiative", was first publicly expressed by Czech President Petr Pavel at the Munich Security Conference in mid-February 2024.
Russian army ambushes and destroys a series of Ukrainian weapons in the border area
The Russian Defense Ministry announced that it had just launched an ambush on Ukrainian forces in Kursk, destroying many enemy soldiers and military vehicles.
“ The Air Force is trying to push Ukrainian forces out of Kursk, where Kiev has been conducting a cross-border raid since early August ,” the Russian Defense Ministry stressed.
According to the Russian side, in Kursk, located near the border with Ukraine, "timely detection of the enemy and quick reaction of Russian paratroopers helped to quickly destroy enemy troops and armored vehicles."
The Russian Defense Ministry released a video of the ambush, which was carried out on a road in Kursk. According to the Russian military, the “confident actions” of the UAV operators destroyed a Ukrainian all-terrain vehicle with its crew, an infantry fighting vehicle and a Western-made armored vehicle.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, an armored personnel carrier operated by Ukraine was also destroyed and the Ukrainian soldiers traveling with the vehicle were later killed by Russian paratroopers in a gunfight.
On August 6, Ukrainian forces launched an offensive on Russia's Kursk. Ukraine claims to have taken control of more than 100 settlements and more than 1,300 square kilometers of Russian territory.
Meanwhile, President Putin called the move a large-scale provocation against civilians and vowed an appropriate response. Russian forces immediately launched a counterattack.
On the other hand, Ukraine said that the Kursk operation had achieved some success, stressing that Russia had to withdraw troops from other areas on the front line, especially in Donbass, where Moscow has been gaining rapid momentum in recent times.
However, observers say that Ukraine seems to have not achieved the above goal as Russia is still maintaining relatively overwhelming forces and firepower on the Donetsk front. Ukraine may fall into a difficult situation when it has to choose between continuing to attack Kursk and sending troops to Donbass to stop Russia from advancing.
