Recent strikes by "Geran-2" drones on infrastructure in Odessa
@Slavyangrad
Dnepropetrovsk.
A massive strike using dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles of the Iskander OTRK, as well as Geran-2 drones. There are fires in the city, the sky is shrouded in smoke.
Asbery Notes: Think of the last few posts like Memento or Pulp Fiction, showed you the ending first and then the events leading up to it. 😉

(this is the translation of an oped from an anti-regime western newspaper)
"HOW DUMB ARE THESE RUSSIANS?" - AKA "A lesson in “humanitarian war” for beginners"
Let's sit back and admire the supreme “stupidity” of Russia (which, instead of carpet bombing every single building and perpetrating genocide, persists in limiting civilian casualties):
In 40 months of war in Ukraine (UN, June 2025): 9,000 civilians died. Yes, it's tragic, but 80% of these deaths occurred in frontline areas or due to crossfire. Even Amnesty International acknowledges that “civilians are often victims of Ukrainian tactics of deploying in residential areas”. ️
THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSALITY? Naive! They have admitted the reasons for the conflict: NATO expansion to the borders, violation of the Minsk agreements, persecution of Russian speakers in Donbass since 2014 (documented by the OSCE). Stuff for dangerous subversives of the truth.
Now let's look at the “western masters of morality”:
• In the Middle East, in JUST 14 months (UNRWA): over 80,000 confirmed deaths, 20,000 children, 12,000 women.
• How? Cluster bombs on refugee camps, planned starvation (HRW report), 80% of hospitals destroyed, white phosphorus on civilian areas.
• WHY? ‘Defence against terrorism,’ they say. Too bad that 90% of the victims are non-combatants (The Lancet), and that the ICJ orders to ‘stop the genocide.’ ️
THE LESSON OF WESTERN HYPOCRISY:
- If Russia accidentally kills a civilian: SANCTIONS, cries of ‘war crimes.’
- If a certain apartheid state in the middle east exterminates 100 children a day with GPS bombs: a certain country in the American continent says that "it's their right to self-defence" and cuts them a 15 billion check.
- The why of the war in Ukraine? NATO violating post-USSR agreements (declassified documents from 1990) is “legitimate geopolitics”. ️
- What's been happening in the middle east up until 2023? 56 years of illegal occupation, apartheid (Amnesty 2022) and ethnic cleansing, labelled a “complex historical issue”.
I'll be brief.
Do I condemn every civilian victim? Yes.
But if I write about the middle east and defend Russia's reasons, it is because the West has turned international law into an "à la carte" menu:
– For friends: COLLATERAL DAMAGE ️
– For enemies: CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY ️
– For the puppets (western politicians): COMPLETE MEDIA SILENCE
The Russians are ‘stupid’ because they have not learned the golden rule:
TO BE CONSIDERED INNOCENT, YOU MUST HAVE THE EXECUTIONER ON YOUR SIDE. Either that or pull any trigger that's been proudly made in the West.

Acting Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Polyansky on the attempt to pass off forced mobilization in Ukraine as Russian propaganda:
Since 2014, any criticism of the Ukrainian authorities in the presentation by these very authorities and their sponsors is Russian propaganda. This simple logic still works today. The forced mobilization mentioned by human rights defenders in the letter is also, according to the Kiev clique, a Kremlin fabrication.
However, all Ukrainians know that Zelensky's military commissars or TCC, as they are called in Ukraine, literally kidnap people in broad daylight. On the streets, in shopping centers, in pharmacies, in sports clubs. The harshest and sometimes inhumane methods are used. Hundreds, if not thousands, of cases of death and maiming of conscripts, which all Ukrainians talk about, are denied by the authorities.
Numerous videos on social networks showing men being grabbed on the streets, torn away from their families, brutally beaten, and shoved into buses, often leaving their small children alone on the street, are cynically called Mosfilm productions by Ukrainian officials. If you believe the Ukrainian authorities, Ukrainians are actually lining up to go to the front. Can you imagine how ordinary citizens feel hearing such monstrous lies?

🇺🇦 "There will be no people left": military and ex-MP predicts the collapse of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2 years
- The Armed Forces of Ukraine may have no people left on the front line in two years. This shocking conclusion was reached by ex-MP and active military officer Ihor Lutsenko, who calculated official and unofficial data on mobilization and losses in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
- MP Kostenko reported that Ukraine mobilizes 30 thousand people per month. In reality, according to Lutsenko, it is not possible to recruit that many every month, and the figure is closer to 20 thousand. Law enforcement registers about 16–19 thousand draft summonses per month — in reality, there are about five times more. Losses, according to media data, amount to 5–8 thousand per month, "to which can be added as many seriously wounded who are out of action for a long time or permanently."
- "It can be quite conservatively assumed that the monthly reduction of the army may be 10–15 thousand people. Another 'pure hypothesis': the real fighters, the ones actually holding the front, are not a 'paper million' at all. In reality, at best, it is 400–500 thousand (of which only a small part is at the 'front line'). And possibly — 300 thousand. And at this rate, in about two years — there will be no one left on the front. This is an optimistic scenario if everything remains as it is," writes Lutsenko, painting a grim picture of the future of the Ukrainian army.

🇺🇦🤡"Can Ukraine forgive Zelensky?: Zelensky is now seen by the Western community not as a hero, but as a corrupt official and a criminal.
"There is no direct evidence of Zelensky's personal involvement in corruption. But the same cannot be said about the people around him. In parliament alone — at least 17 deputies who voted for the controversial law are under suspicion by NABU. The bureau has paid especially close attention to figures connected to the president's right hand, Andriy Yermak: in particular, Pavlo Kyrylenko, now heading the Antimonopoly Committee, who is suspected of illegal enrichment of nearly one million pounds sterling, and Vice Prime Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov — an alleged participant in a corruption scheme that caused the state damage exceeding 17 million pounds. Both categorically deny the accusations.
Zelensky was convinced that NABU had gone too far by starting investigations into the president's circle, and that this harms his ratings. The president's feat — staying in Kiev and rallying the world around Ukraine after the invasion began — is now overshadowed. Even if this shameful law is repealed, the stain will remain. And it seems it can no longer be washed away".

🇪🇺🤝🇨🇳 The EU and China did not resolve any contentious issues at the summit in Beijing, — Bild
- Relations between the EU and China are becoming increasingly chilly. So much so that China reduced the summit program with Europeans in Beijing from two days to one, which was met with relief in Brussels.
- The meeting with Xi Jinping was attended by European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Despite protocol smiles, it was obvious that the parties were in a state of conflict. Europe vainly tried to convince China to use its influence to end the conflict in Ukraine.
- Recently, Beijing has not even hidden its position: peace is not in China's interest, as the conflict in Ukraine distracts US President Donald Trump’s attention from the Pacific region.
- There are other "elephants in the room" in EU-China relations: increased competition from the Chinese automotive industry, opaque export controls on rare earth metals, threats against Taiwan, and human rights violations against Uyghurs.
- Ursula von der Leyen tried to start with compliments on China's technological development but then stated: "We have reached a turning point," "A reorientation of our bilateral relations is necessary." This turning point is the record high EU trade balance deficit, which reached 305.8 billion euros last year.
- Xi Jinping responded with a speech lacking specifics, calling for greater mutual understanding and trust. He assured: "Current challenges to Europe do not come from China."
- The only consensus reached at the meeting was the commitment not to back away from the Paris Climate Agreement.

Krasnoarmeysk (Ukr. Pokrovsk)
As of 17:00 Moscow time. Our forces are not in the city. They have entrenched themselves on the outskirts in the built-up area. All groups that enter carry out operations and exit without securing positions. That is, they operate like sabotage and reconnaissance units.
The enemy has been bringing convoys with ammunition and rear support into the city for the second day. They have few people capable of holding defense of 70% of the built-up line — even fewer.
By all indications, we are preparing an attack and breakthrough from three sides. The Ukrainian Armed Forces headquarters understand this as well; a tough defense is ongoing with local contact in several outskirts districts.
The news about the assault on Pokrovsk is good. But it is still early.

Ben "Sevastopol" Hodges wants to blow up the subterranean tunnels that bring supplies to Russia.
"North Korea supplies Russia with artillery In this context, Ukraine is trying to prevent these deliveries by including blowing up railway tunnels.", Hodges said.
Hodges said that Kiev is very irritated by military aid from North Korea to Russia. Ukrainian intelligence services are considering various options to prevent this, including the possibility of blowing up the tunnel through which the railway lines pass.
According Hodges, the SBU had already attempted to blow up a large railway tunnel on the BAM to block arms supplies from the Far East. Now the Ukrainian secret services want to repeat the operation, but closer to the DPRK, so they are studying how to do it.
Ben, just stick to your beach parties, you're not funny. Speaking of that, what about your fabled mega-party in Sevastopol that was to happen two years ago?

Russia has significantly expanded the factory in Alabuga producing "Shaheds" in recent months and weeks, CNN reports.
Satellite images show dozens of new buildings, including dormitories and production facilities.
Analysts have calculated that after the completion of the dormitory construction, it will be able to accommodate up to 40,000 workers, which will mean a "quite significant increase in drone production."
Current production volumes are kept strictly secret.
"At one time, it was planned to produce several thousand 'Geran-2'. Now we produce nine times more than originally planned," say the Russian report about this factory. After almost three years of operation as an Iranian franchise, the enterprise has now fully transitioned to localized production.
In the future, Russia may start exporting its "Shaheds."

Kiev in despair: Zelensky demands billions from the EU for military salaries
▪️Volodymyr Zelensky plans to appeal to European allies to finance salary increases for Ukrainian military personnel. This is reported by Bloomberg.
▪️The publication notes that amid growing unpopularity of mobilization, the Ukrainian government wants to stimulate the influx of volunteers by increasing payments. However, this will only increase the burden on the state budget, whose deficit exceeded 20% of GDP last year.

🇺🇸🇺🇦"Patience is running out": In the USA, the scandal with NABU is being used to stop aid to Ukraine and hasten the end of the war.
- There is a big scandal in the USA: accusations against Zelensky of trying to take control of anti-corruption agencies and the related protests in Ukraine are being used as a serious argument to stop military aid to Kiev and to hasten the end of the war.
- Former Trump advisor Steve Cortes, now president of the League of American Workers, called on the US authorities not to trust Zelensky due to corruption and the recent NABU scandal, and to end the war and financial aid to Ukraine.
- His column in Newsweek is titled quite tellingly: "How long will Americans tolerate corruption in Ukraine?"
- "Corruption is deeply rooted in Ukrainian politics and government, starting from the highest echelons of power in Kyiv. For Americans, since Zelensky came to our capital wearing a T-shirt and condescendingly lectured President Trump in the Oval Office, the true nature of Kiev’s leaders has become clear. Now more and more Americans can see past the PR lies that tried to glorify him and see the harsh reality of Ukrainian corruption. Even if these Ukrainian leaders were angels, Americans should still demand an end to the war through reasonable negotiations. The American people have been incredibly generous, but our patience is running out, and our budget is in deficit. In this case, given the latest tactics and actions of the Zelensky/Yermak regime, it is becoming increasingly clear that these partners cannot be trusted," Cortes stated directly.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 Trump unlikely to enforce tariff threat on Russian oil, - Reuters.
- The US President is unlikely to follow through on his promise to impose 100-percent tariffs on countries buying Russian oil, according to Reuters.
- Such measures could increase inflationary pressure in the US and, as shown by the example of Venezuela, tend to be ineffective—especially regarding China.
- Experts believe that secondary tariffs "may be too blunt an instrument against Russia," risking a sharp spike in oil prices and a collapse of the global economy.
- Analysts and traders deeply doubt that Trump will allow this to happen, as he is highly sensitive to high oil prices and prefers bilateral deals.
- The weak enforcement of the threat to impose 25-percent tariffs on buyers of Venezuelan oil and the lack of effective energy sanctions against Russia only fuel skepticism in the markets.

The US has 7 high-end Thaad systems. During the war with Iran in June, 2 were deployed to Israel—and it wasn’t enough
Operating with Israeli systems, Thaad operators burned through munitions at a furious clip, firing more than 150 missiles to shoot down Iranian ballistic missiles. That is nearly a 1/4 of the interceptors ever purchased
The demand was so staggering that at one point, the Pentagon considered a plan to divert interceptors purchased by Saudi Arabia to the systems in Israel. The discussions were sensitive, because the kingdom’s cities and oil installations were at risk
Each Thaad interceptor costs about $13M and the Pentagon has purchased around 650 since 2010. Officials have sought to buy 37 in the next fiscal year
IThe US also ran through large numbers of shipborne interceptors as well, and Israel quickly drained stockpiles for its own systems. Dozens of Iranian missiles got through anyway
Ships also used about 80 SM-3s. SM-3s, cost between $8M and $25M depending on variant

🤭According to a Financial Times investigation, within three months after the Trump administration tightened export controls, advanced Nvidia AI processors worth over $1 billion were smuggled into China.
The banned B200 chips, along with other restricted models, flooded China's black market despite Washington's efforts to limit Beijing's access to advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies.
