Continuing the project we started in the beginning of “026.
Here is our selection of our 7 most astonishing, original or viewed videos released in this the week.
This reminder ccome back after many months of pause due to that the main important videos were published in the post WARS in Video with dauky updates on the ongoing international conflicts in Ukraine and in Middle East.
But there are many videos that are extremely significant for their social or geopolitical content that sometimes take a back seat to the serious events that occur every day in wars, which is why we decided to start this periodic column.
Inside the Rumble description of each video there is a link to the detailed investigation it refers to or to a related topic.

C’è un’aria nuova al Meeting per l’Amicizia fra i Popoli di quest’anno. Si percepisce, in modo netto e incoraggiante, un evento in controtendenza persino rispetto al suo recente passato. Il ...
A Rua da Barroca é uma das artérias mais emblemáticas de Lagos, um autêntico arquivo vivo de pedra e mar.
Famosa pelos seus arcos pitorescos, esta rua foi, durante séculos, a marginal da cidade, onde as águas da Ribeira de Bensafrim batiam diretamente no seu paredão até à década de 60.
Estrategicamente integrada no sistema defensivo das muralhas, a rua estendia-se entre o Baluarte de D. Manuel (mais tarde conhecido como “da Porta Nova”) e as estruturas do antigo Hospital Militar (atual Messe).
Mas a história da Barroca recua muito antes das muralhas medievais.
Escavações geoarqueológicas revelaram vestígios de um estabelecimento fenício do século VIII a.C., provando que este pedaço de terra junto ao mar é habitado há quase três milénios.
The Coalition of the Willing for Ukraine meets this Monday, August 24 — the 35th anniversary of Ukrainian independence — under the joint chairmanship of Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz and Andy Burnham. The meeting comes at an urgent moment: fighting is intensifying on the ground and Moscow is preparing a new mobilization, while in Kyiv, Volodymyr Zelensky has just ruled out holding elections in wartime.
The ‘Volontaies’ Coalition at the Élysée (Élysée Palace)
A Meeting Under Heavy Diplomatic Pressure
According to a statement from the Élysée Palace released Friday, August 21, the Coalition of the Willing — an international alliance supporting Ukraine formed in March 2025 at the initiative of Czech President Petr Pavel — will meet this Monday at 1 p.m. in a hybrid format, with Volodymyr Zelensky taking part. The session will be jointly chaired by Emmanuel Macron, via videoconference, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and, for the first time, new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham. About a dozen leaders, including European Council President António Costa, are expected to be in Kyiv alongside the Ukrainian head of state, while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is not expected to attend in person.
According to a European official cited by several news agencies, talks are expected to focus primarily on strengthening Ukrainian air defenses, as the country faces a shortage of interceptors against Russian strikes. The Élysée says leaders will reaffirm “their determination to increase pressure on Russia” and continue coordinating measures aimed at drying up the resources funding Russia’s war effort, including the fight against the “shadow fleet” Moscow uses to circumvent oil sanctions. The meeting is also meant to advance work on security guarantees intended to underpin a “just, robust and lasting” peace, building on the Paris Declaration of January 6, 2026.
On the Ground, Moscow Prepares a New Mobilization
The meeting comes as the war enters a phase of intensification. Volodymyr Zelensky said this weekend that Russia plans to mobilize an additional 300,000 troops for the Ukrainian front after Russia’s parliamentary elections, scheduled for September 16-20, with a longer-term goal of recruiting 500,000. The Ukrainian president described a “peripheral mobilization” that would spare Russia’s major cities but, he said, would be hard to conceal. He also cited a Russian goal of producing roughly 1,300 ballistic missiles a year, while Ukraine expects to receive only 264 interceptor missiles this year, down from 364 in 2025 and 675 in 2023 — a shortfall Kyiv is trying to offset through new agreements, including delivery of at least one SAMP/T air-defense system from France and roughly 600 missiles from Germany.
These statements echo converging battlefield reports. Recent military bulletins point to intense fighting on the Zaporizhzhia, Kherson and Dobropillya fronts and in Dnipropetrovsk region, along with exchanges of soldiers’ remains between the two sides. This information comes from both Ukrainian and Russian sources, whose respective figures cannot be independently verified and should be treated with caution.
BACKGROUND
Formed in March 2025 at the initiative of Czech President Petr Pavel, and later organized under French and British leadership, the Coalition of the Willing brings together roughly thirty countries supporting Kyiv. It notably held a summit in Paris on July 13, 2026, on the eve of the Bastille Day parade, building on the G7 summit in Évian and the Paris Declaration of January 6, 2026.
Zelensky Rules Out Elections That Would “Destroy the Country”
On the domestic front, Volodymyr Zelensky responded for the first time to the call for elections made last week by his former defense minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, who was dismissed in late July amid vocal protests. In remarks made Saturday and released Sunday, the Ukrainian president said holding a wartime vote, absent a major cessation of hostilities, would “destroy the country by splitting society,” calling the prospect a “tsunami.” Ukrainian law bars elections under martial law, in effect since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022; Mr. Zelensky’s presidential term technically expired in May 2024.
Mr. Zelensky pointed to the practical hurdles such a vote would have to overcome — including how to enable voting by mobilized troops, millions of refugees abroad, and residents of Russian-occupied territory. According to an analysis by CNN, an incomplete or contested vote would hand Moscow a propaganda win, since the Kremlin already cites the wartime ban on elections to question the Ukrainian president’s legitimacy, even as Russia’s own electoral process is not considered free by Western observers. Polling suggests former armed forces commander Valery Zaluzhny or Mr. Fedorov himself would be the frontrunners in any eventual election.
Two Fronts for Kyiv: Military and Political
The convergence of these two issues — international military support and the debate over the democratic legitimacy of Ukraine’s leadership in wartime — casts Monday’s meeting in a particular light. For the Western leaders gathered around Emmanuel Macron, the goal is to demonstrate the durability of their commitment at a moment when Moscow is betting on wearing Kyiv down before winter, and when the question of security guarantees still has no concrete bearing on any ceasefire.

In questi giorni gli agricoltori stanno protestando Olanda. Due anni di trattori nelle capitali europee. Risultato: rinvii, deroghe, tagli confermati, firme sui trattati internazionali. La politica ha ascoltato la rabbia degli agricoltori quel tanto che basta per disinnescarla, senza toccare il meccanismo che schiaccia i redditi agricoli e impoverisce il cibo che finisce nei nostri piatti. Partiamo da una constatazione e arriviama a una proposta: la salute passa da quello che mangiamo, quello che mangiamo dipende da chi controlla la filiera, e chi controlla la filiera non siede in Parlamento.
Il cibo vero non è una spesa: è l’investimento più lungo che facciate nella vostra vita. Ma un mercato costruito per remunerare l’intermediazione e non chi lavora la terra rende quell’investimento un privilegio. Ne parliamo con Mario Apicella, agronomo, musicista. Intervista a cura di Jeff Hoffman
Di cosa parliamo: Salute e alimentazione: il cibo è un importante investimento Perché le proteste degli agricoltori hanno prodotto concessioni ma nessuna riforma Chi si intasca il valore tra il campo e lo scaffale Costruire alternative senza aspettare i governi: filiere dirette, mutualismo, semi liberi, comunità di acquisto

In 1919, when someone began to carefully examine the binding of an 8th-century codex preserved in the Chapter Archive of the Cathedral of Barcelona, they discovered that the back cover hid something more than leather and stitches. Beneath the skin, placed in folds, appeared ten fragments of papyrus. More than a century later, six of […]

In 1648, as Swedish troops looted Prague Castle at the end of the Thirty Years’ War, someone carried off among the spoils a volume that weighed 75 kilos and required two people to move. It was a book, the largest surviving illuminated manuscript of the entire Middle Ages, an object so disproportionate for its time […]
