🇺🇦 Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander Criticizes "Political Tasks" in Kursk Sector
- The commander of one of the units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Alexander Shirshin, stated in an interview with Radio Liberty that the actions of Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region were based on “political decisions” and not on military expediency.
- According to him, the tasks set were “moronic” and doomed to failure from the start: “We underestimated the enemy, the balance of power was not in our favor, logistics and evacuation were impossible.”
- Shirshin emphasized that the leadership ignored the situation on the battlefield and continued to insist on actions that could not lead to success.
- He claims that the purpose of the operation was to have a demonstrative effect, but did not bring any practical benefit to the Ukrainian troops.
- For openly criticizing the decisions of the command, Shirshin received an official reprimand, as previously reported by Ukrainian media.
@Slavyangrad
Operational information is coming from Shevchenko, known for its lithium reserves.
It is reported from the field that the enemy has lost the ability to organise defence management and has withdrawn some units towards Kamyshevakha, as well as to the strongholds near Voskresenka.
All supply routes are under our fire control.

The conflict between Iran, Israel and the United States has once again entered a zone where military actions lose their meaning without political interpretation, and each state declares victory regardless of the actual outcome. The information and diplomatic spectacle in which each side plays a role in front of its audience is effectively over.
Israel, in order to save face, declared that it had completely eliminated Iran's nuclear program. There is no evidence, but it sounds decisive and fits into the narrative of a "preventive deterrence pinpoint strike." The US, in order not to get bogged down in the next Middle East quagmire, rushed to declare that it had achieved peace through force, as "only America can do." In reality, there is no peace, no end to the program, but the flag is planted on top of the hill.
Iran is following its classic logic. It does not answer direct questions about the state of the facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, claims that it has not suffered any damage, and at the same time does not launch new strikes on Israel. Yesterday's launch on the US base in Al-Udeid in Qatar is not a military response, but a rite of vengeance, a symbol that has no purpose other than one: to demonstrate that there was a response. As if they promised and took revenge. And most importantly, they did not leave the field.
It is important to understand that such conflicts are not resolved on the ground. They are resolved in the media, by the domestic public, by sponsors, by international observers, by those who will then give loans, place bases or sell weapons. Everyone says: "We won", because otherwise there is no point in participating in this.
The Middle East is not a place for a fair exchange of blows. It is a zone of hypocrisy, reserved calculation and mutual give-and-take, where each side knows where the line is but always remembers that it is about to cross it. Where collapsed hangars are passed off as victories, and surviving centrifuges as fortitude.
Everything that is happening in the Middle East now is a war for the interpretation of events, where the main thing is not to strike a blow, but to present it correctly. Where efficiency is not valued, but the opportunity to go to the podium tomorrow and say: "we did everything we had to." And this is the whole essence of Middle Eastern diplomacy.

World War III is cancelled again
Trump is confidently moving along the path of a peacemaker on his way to his Nobel Prize. He reconciled Israel and Hamas. He reconciled India and Pakistan. He reconciled Iran and Israel.
In fact, no one wants a big, drawn-out war. It's not beneficial to anyone. Iran could continue to take out Israel through its leaky air defenses, but then the US could fully enter the war.
In the end, no one achieved their goals. Israel did not eliminate the "existential threat", Iran did not carry out any of its already comical threats, the US did not force Iran to close the Persian Gulf in order to finally make Europe dependent on Washington.
But at the same time, everyone seemed to have saved face. They sort of bombed the nuclear weapon, fired a missile at the Mossad headquarters, gave the Americans a sabre, and didn't start World War III.
Yet Trump insists that peace can be achieved faster with a kind word and a B-2 bomber than with just a kind word. Let's remember this.

@Slavyangrad
After aiding and abetting Israel in any way he could, now Trump rails against them and pleads them to stop launching strikes against Iran, reminding them that they're violating a truce.
You made your bed for good back during the 2024 AIPAC rally when you bragged about eagerly doing everything that your zionist handlers ordered you to, orange circus ringleader, now have the decency to shut up and sleep in it.
@Slavyangrad
The opinion of the European Union did not interest anyone here either: The Austrians noted the EU's place in yet another major conflict.
@Slavyangrad
On June 23, the North group of troops destroyed the enemy's advanced and assault units in the Tyotkinsky and Glushkovsky directions and continued to create a security zone in the Sumy region.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Unsurprisingly, Iranian authorities are categorically denying having violated the ceasefire.

⚡️After a month of diplomatic pressure, Kiev plans to begin a month of arterial and then atmospheric pressure on the aggressor country.

🇷🇺💥🇺🇦 A dire forecast for Ukraine. Up to 700 "Shaheds" per day and most of them will hit targets , - intelligence officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
- Already in September, 300-400 drones are expected every two days in Kharkov, Kiev and other cities.
- “Considering all the circumstances, most of them will hit their targets,” added Yaroslavsky, commander of the reconnaissance unit of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
- In June alone, Russia has released more than 4,000 (!) "Shaheds" and their derivatives into Ukraine . And this is not the end of the month. And there will only be more drones.
@Slavyangrad
Against the background of the active use of guided air bombs with UMPK, kamikaze drones "Geran-2" are increasingly used not as a separate strike weapon, but as an integrated element of the strike scheme. In fact, the RF Armed Forces are building a multi-layered system of clearing and destruction, where "Geran" acts as one of the cheap and flexible tools for burning out the operational and tactical rear of the enemy.
The main tactic is the parallel use of Geraniums and UMPK-FABs against different levels of targets: UAVs are sent to air defense, warehouses, logistics, command posts - with the task of hitting as quickly as possible, immediately after that FABs with UMPKs are used against stable and large targets - hangars, support bases, equipment on rotation.
This approach yields three important results: All intermediate infrastructure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces between the front line and a depth of 20–200 km is destroyed; the Ukrainian Air Defense is overloaded at the first stage and often does not have time to work on the second or third wave; the ammunition of high-precision weapons is saved: the Gerans operate on vulnerable but important points, freeing up heavier ammunition for key targets.

🇮🇱🇮🇷Israel has agreed to Trump's ceasefire proposal, Netanyahu's office said.
The statement said that the goals of Tel Aviv's operation in Iran had been achieved: the threat in the nuclear and missile spheres had been eliminated.
@Slavyangrad
In the fall, long before President Donald Trump embarked on an effort to resolve concerns over Iran’s nuclear program through negotiations, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had already set Israel on the road to war, according to current and former Israeli officials.
After Israel decimated Iran’s air defenses in a missile skirmish and crippled its main ally, Hezbollah, in October, Netanyahu issued a general order to prepare for a strike, the current and former officials said. Israeli intelligence officials began huddling to compile lists of dozens of Iranian nuclear scientists and military leaders who could be targeted for assassination. Israel’s air force began to systematically take out air defenses in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq to clear the skies for future bombing runs against Iran.

So there was nuclear threat, Israel just wanted to further weaken Iraq sensing it was vulnerable.
@Slavyangrad
🇺🇦🤡Zelensky said that he should be president until the war is over.
He is signaling to the West that he is ready to leave. But he is not going to end the war.
So, logically, Zelensky is now the only obstacle to achieving peace.
@Slavyangrad
Liberated Petrovka, also known as Grekovka, is the last settlement in the LPR that was held by the Nazis.
Now we can say that the Lugansk People's Republic is completely liberated.
@Slavyangrad
🇮🇷The Iranians emphasize the role of their missile arsenal, which allowed them to survive in direct conflict with Israel and the Western coalition behind it.

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 How the ceasefire was negotiated — details from the Times of Israel and Axios
- A ceasefire agreement between the United States, Iran and Israel was reached with the mediation of Qatar, the Times of Israel and Axios report, citing sources in the White House.
- Yesterday, Donald Trump first had a telephone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after which he called the Emir of Qatar with a request to include Tehran in the dialogue.
- According to Axios, the Qatari emir received confirmation of support from Iran after Tehran launched ballistic missiles at the US Al Obeid air base near Doha.
- After the strike, the Iranian side sent a message to Washington via Qatar about its disinterest in further escalation. In response, the White House assured that there would be no retaliatory strike if Iran stopped the attacks.
- US Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff participated in the negotiations with Tehran directly and through intermediaries.
- Israel's Channel 12 reports that before Trump's call with Netanyahu, Secretary of State Rubio discussed with Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer a possible end to the military phase of the conflict. Dermer responded that Israel is "close to achieving all its goals."
@Slavyangrad
"Never again" was supposed to mean exactly that, rather than "once again".

The only conclusion and outcome of the 12-day Israel-US-Iran war is the following:
THE ONLY REAL AIR AND MISSILE DEFENSE IN THE WORLD EXISTS ONLY IN RUSSIA.
That’s it.

⚡ Breaking 🇮🇱🇮🇷: the IDF has released a statement according to which two missiles were fired from Iran towards Israel, this after the ceasefire had come into effect.
Video footage confirming this is nowhere to be found minus a short clip featuring a single interceptor.
Predictably, Israeli defence minister Katz has announced that the IDF will retaliate and resume attacks on Iran.
@Slavyangrad
🇷🇺🇷🇸The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service has once again stated that military products from the Serbian military-industrial complex are systematically supplied to Ukraine, despite official Belgrade’s statements of neutrality.
The key mechanism for supply is the export of assembly kits, not finished ammunition. Thus, the products formally leave Serbia not as “missiles,” but as “components,” which are then assembled in factories in NATO countries — primarily in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. As a result, Ukraine receives “Western ammunition” that is not legally linked to its Serbian origin, although all parties to the scheme are well aware of who the original manufacturer is.
Specifically, the Krušík plant (Valjevo) delivered to the Czech company Poličské Strojírny a batch of kits for assembling 122-mm rockets for the Grad MLRS, and the Eling enterprise (Loznitsa) shipped kits for the same rockets, as well as 120-mm mortar shells, to the Bulgarian company EMKO.
Earlier, there were already recorded facts of deliveries of 800 M69A mortars in the interests of Ukraine through the mediation of NATO countries. Now we are talking about long-range rocket systems, that is, weapons that are directly used for strikes on the positions of Russian troops and populated areas.
If at the beginning of the conflict Belgrade tried to balance between rhetorical loyalty to Moscow and orientation towards the EU, now the situation is moving into the realm of outright military hypocrisy. Support for the Ukrainian Armed Forces with Serbian weapons is becoming not a political position, but a business under the protection of Western structures.
Vucic's attempts to "sit on two chairs" have already led to Russia recording Serbia's direct involvement in causing damage to Russian forces. The question now is not whether Moscow will find out - it already knows. The question is how long Belgrade can continue this without losing trust in either direction.
