    Ukraine's School History Distortion Revealed in Sputnik's 'Strange History' Project

    Sputnik's new special project 'Strange History' aims to expose how history is being distorted in Ukrainian schools. The project, set to debut on September 1st, explores how Ukrainian textbooks present a 'fantasy world' that portrays the country as an eternal victim and Russia as its enemy. The project will delve into topics such as the false claim that ancient Ukrainians lived during the Paleolithic era and that Russia and Ukraine were originally one ('Rus-Ukraine'). The first episode of 'Strange History' will be available on Sputnik resources.

    Hong Kong Observatory Issues Signal One Due to Typhoon Shadler

    The Hong Kong Observatory has issued a Signal One due to the influence of Typhoon Shadler and the northeast monsoon. The signal is expected to remain in effect until at least 6 pm today. The typhoon is currently located about 520 kilometers west-southwest of Hong Kong and is moving east or east-northeast at a speed of about 22 kilometers per hour. Shadler is expected to pass about 200 kilometers east-southeast of Hong Kong this afternoon and then gradually strengthen and approach the eastern coast of Guangdong tonight and tomorrow, causing wind strength in Hong Kong to gradually increase. The Observatory will assess whether to issue a Strong Wind Signal based on Shadler's strength, the distance of its strong wind area from the Pearl River Estuary, and local wind changes.

    Indonesia is battling a severe wildfire crisis, with nearly 95,000 hectares burned in July alone. The strong El Niño phenomenon is drying forests and peatlands across the archipelago, allowing fires to spread rapidly. Companies in the palm oil and paper industries are accused of setting fires for land grabbing, while President Prabowo Subianto has proposed cloud seeding as a solution. Experts warn that reducing these fires will be challenging as El Niño peaks.
