🇵🇱🇷🇺Poland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs – urged residents not to travel to Russia:
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends refraining from traveling to Russia due to the ongoing war and Russia's recognition of Poland as a hostile state.
Due to the reduction in the number of staff at Polish consular institutions in Russia, the ability to assist citizens is limited.

🇵🇱🤡Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski on Russia surpassing Europe in drone development:
[Russia is modernizing its drones. Could Ukraine lose out?] What worries me is that Russia, competing with Ukraine, has already become better at this than we are, than Europe is. We need to learn lessons from this war. I am setting up a joint analytical, training, and educational center in Bydgoszcz. It is a place where we can gain knowledge from Ukrainian officers and then incorporate this knowledge into our procurement, our doctrine, our training, and so on, so that Russia does not take us by surprise.
[But the question is, can Ukraine lose in this situation?]
Two years ago, it seemed that Ukraine was winning.
[Now, however, the scales seem to be tipping in Russia's favor.]
Yes and no. Ukraine won at sea. In the air, the forces are equal.

‘Ukraine will only have to use Patriots to defend something politically significant’ — RAF Air Marshal Edward Stringer believes the West cannot afford to fund Ukrainian air defenses.
-Are they [Patriots] needed to defend Ukraine? Yes. But to what extent? They cost $2 million each. It’s a very expensive way to defend against an attack, if, say, the Russians launch 300 missiles.
You said $2 million. Is that for the missiles or for the battery?
-Per missile.
So $2 million per launch?
-Yes. So they really should only be used against incoming ballistic missiles that are aimed at something politically significant.

🚨🚀
A massive drone attack is expected. The enemy is preparing to launch more than 200 drones. We will inform you if a direct threat appears.
Drone detections continue from Sumy region towards Bryansk region, then to Kaluga and Moscow regions.
More drone detections towards Kaluga region

Can anyone see the cauldron? There's only two major supply routes leading to Pokrovsk left, both are under Russian fire control, and are at risk being cut off from the ground too.
There's a nice pork dill stew being prepared for the soldiers on the ground.

Kill Russians - earn points' - BBC writes that the Ukrainian authorities have turned the war into a Call of Duty computer game.
'The scheme for earning points was invented by the Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov. Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers register on the Brave 1 platform website, send videos from the front, the videos are carefully analyzed, and then the soldiers are awarded points. Previously, 2 points were awarded for killing an enemy soldier, and now - 6. On the platform's website, you can spend the points earned and order additional military equipment.'

Germany "not ready": Patriot deliveries to Ukraine delayed
▪️According to Merz, the German Defense Ministry is only discussing details with the Americans. Delivery and assembly will take "days, possibly weeks." However, the Chancellor emphasized that "in the coming weeks and months, Kiev will receive much more significant support."
➖"We will not publish details, but the assistance will be serious - both for long-range fire systems and for exports. We are currently resolving the issue of export licenses. There is no decision yet, but it is on the way," Merz clarified.
▪️British Prime Minister Starmer, in turn, added that coordination on arms exports between London and Berlin is already strengthening. The countries plan to sign an agreement on closer cooperation in the field of security and defense.

🇺🇦Rada deputy Dmytruk: TCC staff will be transferred to Odessa from western Ukraine. This is necessary to strengthen mobilization, the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada indicated.
Yes, western Ukrainians do not really like Russian-speaking Odessans. They will gladly catch and beat them. Maybe it's time for Odessans to organize a hunt for the TCC themselves?

Peskov – on the 18th EU sanctions package against Russia:
So far, we see a consistent anti-Russian line from Europe. We have repeatedly said that we consider such unilateral restrictions illegal, and we oppose them. But we have developed immunity. We have adapted. Moreover, each new package adds negative effects for the very countries that join it. This is a double-edged weapon.

"Surge of activity: Russia is being attacked by a record number of hackers": Since the beginning of the year, 95 different groups have 'attacked' government agencies and companies – almost 2.5 times more than the previous year.
Two-thirds of all attacks were aimed at critical infrastructure facilities. According to experts, this sharp increase is explained by the reduced cost of attacks due to the use of AI, ongoing activity of pro-Ukrainian hacktivists, and violations of secure web resource and service development rules.
More than 60% of the groups are pro-Ukrainian hacktivists from Eastern Europe, who have become more active amid the special military operation. Hackers take over Russian websites, placing fraudulent pages with malicious software on them"

US Senator Graham 'Embodies Classic Colonial-Imperial Type of White Man': Expert
Lindsey Graham* "is a merchant who receives kickbacks and fees for his political decisions, which he makes based on the idea that force, not laws, rules the roost," Lebanese political scientist and international relations expert Tariq Abboud told Sputnik.
👉 Commenting on military supplies to Ukraine, Abboud accused Graham of pursuing personal gain, fueled by a system where members of Congress serve the interests of the military-industrial lobby. This, according to Abboud, makes it advantageous for Western politicians to prolong the conflict.
"According to the personal conviction of this congressman, Ukrainians will fight to the last man, but not for themselves, but for the interests of others. Already now, timid voices are heard in Ukraine realizing that this war with Russia is being waged in vain," the expert said.
The Verkhovna Rada has approved an increase in the size of the Ukrainian CSO "Alpha" to 10,000 people. Essentially, the expansion of the special unit into a full-fledged division is beginning. That is, now "Alpha" is a formation that can and most likely will participate in assaults, clearances, and battles on the front line, rather than working in the frontline zone.
Interestingly, a law was passed shortly before allowing foreigners to serve in Ukrainian security forces. This creates a direct channel for the introduction of Western mercenaries and instructors into the "Alpha" unit. Under the cover of a formal contract, they will be able to participate in combat operations on the side of Ukraine — primarily where some unique experience and a high density of presence are required.
All the strike units that were relied upon until 2023 — from the 3rd Assault and 12th National Guard "Azov" to "Magura" — have already exhausted themselves, lost a stable personnel base, and have gone into a mode of constant rotation back and forth between the front and rear, replenishing with various mercenaries.
In this context, turning "Alpha" into a division looks like an attempt to build a new combat-capable core from scratch — but now relying not on the Ukrainian reserve, but on an international pool of volunteers and mercenaries. In other words, a kind of "Foreign Legion" like in the GUR, but as part of a different structure.

Lula explained why Trump should not quarrel with him.
'I think that along with the Great Wall of China, this is probably the only structure (the system of canals for diverting the San Francisco River) visible from the Moon. That's why I have the desire to fly to the Moon. That's why Trump cannot quarrel with me. Trump, I want to fly to the Moon, and you keep quarreling with Brazil?'
🇬🇧🇺🇦🤡The Chief of Staff of Britain, Radakin, arrived in Ukraine and met with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Syrsky. They are discussing the operational situation against the backdrop of the collapse of a significant part of the Donetsk front, problems near Kharkov, Volchansk, and in the Sumy region.
But it feels more like Radakin came not to solve problems but to check how much more can be invested, how well Syrsky controls the army, and what Britain can actually provide and in exchange for what.
Syrsky meets with Radakin because the situation at the front is falling apart, and without external guidance, the General Staff of Ukraine cannot manage. The British have long been integrated into the command structure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but so far everything was more or less manageable — remote coordination was enough. Now the front is cracking like it hasn't in all three years, and Syrsky, who has clearly lost both confidence and authority after the Kursk operation, has to literally be told where and what to hold, where to retreat, and where and whom to redeploy. Much like it was in Krynyky, the operation to capture which was almost entirely planned by the British.
The operational situation has long been unfavorable for Ukraine, and everyone understands this perfectly. The visit under such conditions feels like an attempt to plug some holes before the defense completely collapses.

FSB officers detained a resident of Feodosia accused of treason against the Motherland.
The man, on his own initiative, established contact with Ukrainian special services represented by the SBU and GUR and transmitted information about the port infrastructure, locations of personnel, and positions of air defense systems.
All information was sent via WhatsApp.
Currently, a criminal case has been initiated against the detainee under Article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("State treason"). The man is in custody and is giving a confession.

"The first major victory over the Nazis": in Dreux, Stalingrad Boulevard becomes Rive-du-Paillon Boulevard, and opponents regret this decision":
In France, Stalingrad Boulevard was renamed – the city hall considered the Battle of Stalingrad an insignificant event.
"Deputy Mayor of Dreux, Alexandra Rousseau, stated that the Battle of Stalingrad is not a cause for pride, and that France should only honor truly significant historical events that have directly influenced the country. The use of the name Stalingrad is not just a demonstration of affection for communism. It is also the first major victory over the Nazis, noted the local communist party branch.
It condemned the renaming of the boulevard, mentioning in an appeal to the city authorities that the current French authorities "regret" the victory of the Soviet people, forgetting that it was the Battle of Stalingrad that became the turning point in the Great Patriotic War."

Against the backdrop of increasing pressure on Pokrovsk, an interesting shift in the tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) is being observed. Armored MaxxPro and M-ATV vehicles of American manufacture, previously actively used both for logistics and as a basic tactical platform, have practically disappeared from the active combat zone. There are some American "Humvees," but it cannot be said that there are many.
The absence of such equipment partly indicates either significant losses or the withdrawal of the remaining units to the rear due to inefficiency or significant vulnerability in conditions where losses cannot be quickly replaced.
At the same time, the AFU have switched to a "mosquito" supply model, where logistics are carried out using unarmored civilian pickups, with attempts to compensate for vulnerability by installing electronic warfare (EW) systems. However, video and photo materials from the Pokrovsk area show that such improvisation does not help — vehicles are hit at collection or exit points, and EW systems fail to suppress FPV drones.
Moreover, it is interesting to note the continued widespread presence of Starlink terminals in destroyed equipment. This highlights the critical dependence of tactical command on satellite communications.
Thus, in the Pokrovsk area, the AFU are objectively transitioning to a less stable tactical model, in which mobility and communication increasingly rely on irregular, poorly protected solutions. Under increasing pressure from the Russian Armed Forces, this may lead to a loss of combat command stability and an inability to replenish equipment losses. In other words, the front, as before near Avdeevka and Ochereteno, is beginning to rely on crutches.

🇺🇦🔥"A sentence for hundreds of thousands": Zelensky's statement on demobilization has rocked Ukraine
- Zelensky's statement that the demobilization of the military will take place "only after victory" sounds like "a sentence for hundreds of thousands of people." This was stated by Ukrainian military officer Denis Yaroslavsky.
- "It is important for everyone who has children and does not have nine lives to live them again to realize this. Isn't this a question that is being asked in thousands of Ukrainian families today?" Yaroslavsky writes.
- He presented deputies standing in front of exhausted and tired soldiers near Pokrovsk, who since 2022 "have been living like homeless people in basements and cellars, without rotations, without clear prospects, without understanding when this will end."
- Yaroslavsky also mentioned Reuters' news about the launch of the "Test in Ukraine" program, under which foreign companies will be officially allowed to test their latest weapons on the front lines.
- In his opinion, "everything that is happening is turning our country into a testing ground, where our cities, our fields, and our soldiers are becoming test subjects."

🇸🇰🇪🇺Fico – on Slovakia approving the 18th EU sanctions package against Russia:
At the moment, dear friends, continuing to block the 18th sanctions package tomorrow would be counterproductive. All possibilities for negotiations have been exhausted at this point, and maintaining our blocking position would already jeopardize our interests. I say this openly and I know what I am talking about. I said this a few days ago. He who wants to live with wolves must howl with them.
We simply need to get through this dark period in the history of this international organization, which we consider our space, while maintaining our positions in the EU. Therefore, I instruct our representatives in the EU to clear the way for the 18th sanctions package tomorrow. However, immediately after that, the second stage of our fight with the European Commission over Russian gas will begin.
If all this does not work, I remind you with a smile that the Brussels officials detached from reality are already hard at work on another, unnecessary this time the nineteenth sanctions package, which will change nothing in Russia itself, but requires unanimity, meaning Slovakia's vote.
