Source: Biletskyi in a video message
Quote: "For three years, we have gained unique experience in fierce battles, conducted successful counterattacks and become the most effective in frontline drone operations. We've introduced new technologies, redefined our approach to personnel training and developed the best recruitment system in the country. We've launched our schools for teaching operators of First-Person View drones and Ground Robotic Systems. We've created large-scale cultural and educational projects. It's time to expand our horizons."
Details: Biletskyi noted that the main priorities of the Corps are combat training, building a professional sergeant corps, and focussing on management, planning and technology.
He also stressed that the aim is to change the principles of this war, thereby shifting its course in favour of Ukraine.

JD Vance went kayaking for his birthday. Secret Service had the river level raised
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Vice President JD Vance's security detail had an Ohio river's water level raised last weekend to accommodate a kayaking trip he and his family took to celebrate his 41st birthday. The U.S. Secret Service said it requested the increased waterflow for the Little Miami River, first reported by The Guardian, to ensure motorized watercraft and emergency personnel 'could operate safely' while protecting the Republican vice president, whose home is in Cincinnati. But critics immediately blasted the action as a sign of the vice president's entitlement, particularly given the Trump administration's focus on slashing government spending. Richard W. Painter, who served as chief White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, said on X that 'it's outrageous for the Army corps of engineers to spend taxpayer money to increase water flow in a river so @VP can go canoeing when budget cuts to the National Park Service have severely impacted family vacations for everyone else.' The Corps of Engineers declined to address any financial impact of raising the river. Spokesman Gene Pawlik said the agency's Louisville District temporarily increased outflows from the Caesar Creek Lake in southwest Ohio into the Little Miami 'to support safe navigation of U.S. Secret Service personnel.' He said the move met operational criteria and fell within normal practice. 'It was determined that the operations would not adversely affect downstream or upstream water levels,' he said in a statement. 'Downstream stakeholders were notified in advance of the slight outflow increase, which occurred August 1, 2025.' Vance's birthday was on Aug. 2. Vance spokesman Taylor Van Kirk said the vice president was unaware the river had been raised. 'The Secret Service often employs protective measures without the knowledge of the Vice President or his staff, as was the case last weekend,' she said via text. The sprawling 2,830-acre Caesar Creek Lake has an unlimited horsepower designation and five launch ramps, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources website. A marina, campground and lodge are also located on site. The department provided two natural resources officers to assist the Secret Service with the Vance event, spokesperson Karina Cheung said. The Vance family has already become accustomed to certain accommodations being made as they move about the world. During a recent trip to Italy, the Roman Colosseum was closed to the public so that his wife, Usha, and their children could take a tour, sparking anger among some tourists. The Taj Mahal also was closed to visitors during the Vance family's visit to India. Such special treatment isn't reserved for one political party. When Democratic Vice President Al Gore, then a presidential candidate, paddled down the Connecticut River for a photo opportunity in 1999, utility officials had opened a dam and released 4 billion gallons of water to raise the river's level. That request, too, came after a review of the area by the Secret Service — and Gore also experienced political pushback. Gore's campaign said at the time that he did not ask for the water to be released. ___ This story corrects the name of Vance's spokesperson. The spokesperson is Taylor Van Kirk.

America's Ultimatum to Russia Is About to Pass. Now What?
An anecdote springs to mind as the world awaits the passing of a deadline — shortened from 50 days to 10 and coming up this Friday — which President Donald Trump recently gave to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. It comes from the late George Schultz, who as secretary of state in the 1980s told the story to his boss, Ronald Reagan, the original purveyor of 'peace through strength' in foreign policy. Once when he was in Marine Corps boot camp, as Shultz recounted, a sergeant handed him his rifle. 'This is your best friend,' sarge told the young Shultz; 'and remember one thing: never point this rifle at anybody unless you're willing to pull the trigger. No empty threats.'

The Army Corps of Engineers is Reviewing the Petition Filed By Green Oceans and A Coalition of Tribal Nations, Fishing Organizations, and Conservation Groups to Revoke Revolution Wind's Permit
LITTLE COMPTON, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Army Corps has confirmed it is reviewing the Green Oceans' petition to revoke Ørsted's Revolution Wind permit. The petition cites a deeply flawed Public Interest Review that fatally tainted the Revolution Wind approval process and failed to comply with federal law. The petitioners include Green Oceans, the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head/Aquinnah, Narragansett Indian Tribe, Responsible Offshore Development Alliance, Long Island Commercial Fishing Association, Fishermen Against Offshore Wind, and the Rhode Island Commercial Fishing Association, as well as Save the East Coast, Protect Our Coast Long Island NY, Save Our Bay, Brayton Point, ACK For Whales, Save Greater Dowses Beach, and Protect Our Westport Waters. The petition raised three red flags: The Corps ignored the project's repeated discharges of arsenic, which exceeded 1000% of allowable levels, and other toxic chemicals, into Narragansett Bay and surrounding wetlands. The Corps disregarded interference with the only East Coast early warning radar system for ballistic missiles, as well as airport surveillance radar critical for aviation safety. It misrepresented the economic impacts—never accounting for lost jobs in the fishing industry or the economic harm from increased electricity rates this project will impose on New Englanders. 'This petition demands environmental justice and accountability from a government that fast-tracked these destructive projects without following the law,' said Dr. Lisa Quattrocki Knight, President of Green Oceans. The petition, filed in June, says the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) relied heavily on the Corps' Public Interest Review for its Record of Decision and final permit authorizations. The flawed review violated the Corps' statutory responsibilities and tainted BOEM's decisions. 'Revolution Wind threatens our environment, burdens ratepayers, -- particularly working families and those on fixed incomes -- and undermines national security,' said Dr. Knight. 'It devastates the marine ecosystem without any proven benefit to the climate. This project isn't sound policy; it's political theater at the public's expense.' Green Oceans is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, community organization dedicated to combating climate change without jeopardizing the health of the ocean or the life it sustains.
