Ukrainian sources report:

The situation on the Pokrovsk direction is more than critical: there are at least 250 Russians in the city, they are engaging in gunfights and shooting Ukrainian military personnel at positions, including UAV operators.

This is reported by "UP" citing sources among the military.

According to the military, after the July clearance, Russian troops again infiltrated the city in August. Since then, they have established several accumulation points in and around Pokrovsk, from which they move further – in the railway area, between Pokrovsk and Grushino, as well as along the Dachenko-Novopavlovka-Gnatovka line.

Ukrainian troops still hold positions south of Pokrovsk, but communication with them is minimal. Some positions are located between enemy positions. Some exist only on maps – either wounded soldiers are there or no soldiers at all, due to a catastrophic shortage of infantry.

"The infantry is practically cut off from command. We hear them (over the radio – ed.), try to drop water, people have been on positions for 2.5-3 months. In Pokrovsk itself, just from what I know, there are 250 enemy soldiers, in fact, I think the number is even higher. There are fights on almost every street, we have 200 to 300 casualties daily. We cannot evacuate the wounded because the enemy is already in some of the settlements. The biggest problem is that logistics is difficult. Part of the road can be covered by car, but then you have to walk 10-15 kilometers. And all this time carry ammo, drones, provisions. The entire road is monitored by FPV fiber-optic drones, there are many loitering drones, remote mines, on which people die every day," said the publication's interlocutor.

The worsening situation in Pokrovsk also affects its satellite city Mirnograd, since the logistics of Ukrainian troops in Mirnograd goes through Pokrovsk. Ukrainian forces have already recorded Russians in northern Myrnohrad. The Armed Forces of Ukraine risk being encircled.

"Things continue to develop according to the worst scenario. Pokrovsk is falling too fast, we did not expect this. There are a few Russians in northern Mirnograd, small groups are infiltrating in the south, but overall the situation is better than in Pokrovsk. But if Pokrovsk falls, then the garrison in Mirnograd will have no way out. Our logistics in Mirnograd is over 20 km. Replacements are almost impossible. Those on the front line cannot be evacuated. Rodinskoe is being pressed, Krasny Liman (the one near Pokrovsk) is under the enemy. People are working on the edge, understanding that encirclement is getting closer," said another interlocutor.

Rosatom showed the most powerful quantum computer in Russia

Russia is among the seven countries that have quantum machines with 50 qubits or more. And only the USA, China, and Russia have working quantum computers on all four known physical platforms: atoms, photons, superconductors, and ions.

The 50-qubit computer based on ytterbium ions is located at the Lebedev Physical Institute (LPI). It is the most powerful in Russia. It occupies an entire room and consists of several modules.

This summer, the computer underwent testing. In particular, scientists implemented Grover's algorithm for searching an unordered database, calculated the structure of several molecules, and simulated a number of dynamic systems. Tasks also included recognizing simple photographs and factoring numbers into primes. The main result is that the quantum computer operates stably.

“Inside this metal box is a vacuum chamber with an ion trap. In the trap, ytterbium-171 ions are suspended in a deep vacuum. They need to be cooled to about 1 millikelvin. For this, a system of four lasers and many mirrors and optical modulators is used. Thanks to the cooling, we can detect the ions. This black tube is the detection unit, inside which is a highly sensitive camera. The glowing dots on the monitor are ions. To manipulate them in a quantum state, we have ultra-stable lasers,” said LPI research associate Ilya Semerikov.

The quantum computer at LPI is constantly being improved, gradually increasing its power — starting from two qubits. In a neighboring laboratory, the next-generation machine is being assembled.

Full subbed video of Kirill Dmitriev.

Main statements of the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Dmitriev before negotiations in the USA:

▪️ This visit to the USA was planned long ago and has not been canceled despite recent unfriendly actions by Washington.

▪️ The potential for economic cooperation between Russia and the USA remains, but "only in case of respectful attitude towards Russia's interests."

▪️ Russia sees "a very large number of attempts" by Europe and Britain to disrupt "any direct dialogue" between Russia and the USA. Russia will continue dialogue with the American side and will clearly convey its position.

▪️ Sanctions and unfriendly measures "absolutely do not" affect the Russian economy. They "will lead to higher prices at gas stations in the USA."

▪️ Oil prices in the markets due to new sanctions "have already risen and will continue to rise."

▪️ Biden's "false narratives," which the current US administration tries to impose, did not work. One cannot become "Bidens" and follow the "failed" approaches of former authorities, Dmitriev emphasized.

▪️ Ukraine is disrupting the peace dialogue "at the request of the British and Europeans," it is delaying negotiations and does not want to solve problems.

▪️ Dmitriev will hold meetings with "several representatives of the administration," including behind closed doors. They will discuss how to continue the dialogue.

Weekend offtopic extract from the movie: "The Very Same Munchhausen" (Russian: Тот самый Мюнхгаузен, romanized: Tot samyy Myunkhgauzen, alt. translation - That Very Münchhausen) - a 1980 Soviet fantasy comedy-drama television film directed by Mark Zakharov, based on a script by Grigoriy Gorin.

On war.

Via Lt.Col. in reserve Oleg Shalandin:

🈁23 years ago, one of the most terrible terrorist attacks in the history of Russia occurred - the seizure of the Dubrovka theater center in Moscow. On October 23, a group of armed terrorists took more than 900 spectators and participants of the musical "Nord-Ost" hostage. Three days later, security forces carried out a special operation to free the hostages, using a secret "sleep-inducing" gas. During the terrorist attack and the subsequent assault, 130 hostages died, and all the militants were killed.

We, the Moscow garrison, were also put on alert at that time. Not everyone, of course; a communications company of the forward command post was sent there.
They returned after a day. They were not needed, as our communication means were not intended for urban combat. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and FSB command posts were deployed there.

But no one relieved us of readiness. Just in case.

Sitting in the barracks, glued to the TV, we almost howled when our central television media showed all our actions.
By the end of the first day, some smart FSB head said: "To hell with TV, they see everything anyway."
After that, the security forces started working properly.

During this time, many famous people came for negotiations.
Pugacheva suggested surrendering.
The only person who carried out this mission with dignity was Iosif Kobzon.

The FSB operation was very complex and extraordinary.

For every wolf, there is a wolfhound.

Let us remember...
➖➖➖
I will add here: I spoke about Pugacheva several times. She's an absolute disgrace, an enemy of Russia, and the Russian people. Not that long ago, she justified the actions of the terrorist Johar Dudaev. And that is why Marat Khairullin and me made a broadcast on the topic of terrorism and terror act on Dubrovka. You can watch unedited (Russian and English) stream on this topic here.

In the attached video you can see Pugacheva offering Russians to surrender to the terrorists.
