Reminder. There is no SITREP on September 4 in honor of the United States Labor Day holiday. If World War III breaks out or Russia surrenders, we'll provide coverage.
This is Report 486, which is 42 pages and is a full report.
What's the big story? Ukrainian Minister of Defense Oleskii Reznikov is out and has formally submitted his resignation.
What's the second story? Things are not going well for Russia at Klishchiivka, where their grip is slipping away due to being outgunned by Ukrainian artillery.
Did we mention the podcast restarts on September 6?
