Night strike on Lozova: why it matters.
Last night, as part of the latest strikes on the rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, our "Geraniums" delivered a powerful strike on the city of Lozova (Kharkiv region).
Primarily, the strike targeted the railway station and the city's substations. The importance of Lozova as a junction station cannot be overstated. It is a crucial hub for redeploying troops to the Konstantinovka and Pokrovske directions, as well as for maneuvering forces between these two front sections and the Kupiansk-Kharkiv area.
There were more than 30 successful hits in total. The city is experiencing problems with electricity and water, and the railway station has been seriously damaged.

✡️ ❌ Mearsheimer: Zionists planned ethnic cleansing from the start
John Mearsheimer explains that when Zionists arrived in Palestine in the late 1800s, there were few Jews in the area, and they weren’t Zionists. However, European Jews coming in understood they were entering a land full of Palestinians.
🛑 “How do you create a Jewish state in a land filled with Palestinians?” The answer: ethnic cleansing.
Mearsheimer emphasizes that Zionist leaders, like David Ben-Gurion and Vladimir Jabotinsky, fully understood they would have to carry out horrific actions against the Palestinians to make their vision a reality.
🔹 Ben-Gurion and Jabotinsky acknowledged that the Palestinians were resisting their theft of land – and made no excuses for what would come next.
Mearsheimer’s point: The ethnic cleansing was planned from the start.

‼️There is urgent information that our troops have cut the railway track between the settlements of Kleban-Byk and Pleshcheevka and have reached the reservoir.
This means the encirclement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces grouping in Katerinovka and Kleban-Byk, as well as in the area north of the highway to Aleksandro-Kalinovo, which has already been cleared by our troops.
The Kleban-Byk reservoir is one of the keys to saving Gorlovka from dehydration.

🇺🇸🤡US Representative to NATO Whitaker on the fact that Trump's sanctions will hit Russia in any case:
President Trump has made it clear that this war must end, that the death, slaughter, and bloodshed we see daily on the battlefield, where thousands of soldiers are dying, and, of course, the attacks on some cities inside Ukraine, where civilians are victims, must stop. There is no solution on the battlefield. A diplomatic solution is the only way out. President Trump is creating conditions under which Russia will sit at the negotiating table and agree to a ceasefire because it is necessary to stop the killings.
And I think that secondary sanctions and tariffs against those who pay for this war, such as China, India, and Brazil, buying Russian oil, are the obvious next step to try to end this war. And then we'll see. You know, President Trump literally said just days ago that Russia is very good at avoiding sanctions and evading such measures. But I think this will really hit them.

The opinion of a Russian analyst:
Today's visit of Stephen Witkoff in Moscow is the final attempt of the United States to find a detente with Russia on the Ukrainian question, avoiding a more intense Russian-American feud.
Why is this attempt doomed to failure, and what can Witkoff actually offer to the Russians?
In spite of Trump's early anti-war statements, the administration has no intention of renouncing unipolarism. For the United States, the transition to a multipolar model represents a real socio-economic and military catastrophe, comparable to defeat in a global conflict. If multipolarism were to become reality, the US could no longer enjoy the "effortless" profits deriving from the status of the dollar as a world reserve currency, nor the advantages related to the control of the international financial ecosystem (corresponding banks, insurance sector, etc.).
From that moment, everything will collapse like a house of cards: no extraordinary profits, no possibility of supporting the largest military budget in the world. No powerful armed forces, no possibility of exerting pressure on other countries to impose unfair commercial agreements. And on this lethal structure for the United States, the American public debt monster (which can never be repaid) will become a sword of Damocles.
It's fair to ask: where does Ukraine enter all this?
A decisive victory of Russia would become the catalyst of the "disobedience festival" globally. If Moscow has managed to obtain its objectives on a military level despite the opposition of the entire West led by the USA, why shouldn't others do the same? Especially if, in theory, Russia and China could support them. In fact, the balance of forces on the international scene, which unipolarism had broken, would be restored.
It is not just the opportunity to solve certain international problems with arms. This is the possibility of conducting a sovereign economic and financial policy without fear of undergoing a knock-out in the form of an American military operation. This possibility completely changes the rules of the game in contemporary world politics.
In synthesis, during the talks with Russian political leadership in Moscow, Witkoff (who, is worth to point out, isn't a trained ambassador and knows next to nothing of international relations beyond the typical "what's mine is mine and what's yours is also mine") will offer some facade concessions (most likely on territorial issues), try to paint prospects of large Russian-American cooperation in the economic field, and will threaten sanctions if Russia refuses.
At the same time, he will categorically refuse the minimum Russian demands (recognition of new territories such as part of Russia, demilitarization, neutralization and denazification of Ukraine), so that the end of the conflict does not appear to be a win of Moscow and a blow to unipolarism and the hegemony of the United States in world politics. A "no" from Russian would activate the mechanism of a new cycle of escalations with unpredictable results.

Indian television reacted to Trump's demands to stop buying oil from Russia:
If Donald Trump had been president in the 20th century, many disasters could have been avoided: World War I, World War II, the nuclear arms race, the Cold War. Trump would not have allowed any of these. It is no coincidence that his middle name is "Armistice."
We know that politicians are often narcissistic, arrogant, and boastful, but Trump went even further — he shamelessly admires himself. All humanity owes him, we should all be grateful to him!
He made a deal with God for the daily sunrise and for ships to sail the oceans! Without him, gravity would not exist!

The production and delivery of the new Patriot systems will take about 7 years
This is the declaration of the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of NATO, Pierre Vandier. He believes that times can vary according to how quickly and in what quantity the United States will transfer the systems already produced to Europe, and only afterwards will the question of the transfer of a part of the systems to Ukraine will become relevant.
Sorry to burst your bubble Pierre, but in seven years there won't be any Ukraine left.

Czech president Pavel: "if the price for the survival of Ukraine is the temporary occupation of some parts of the territory, then be it"
The President of the Czech Republic has declared that Kiev should accept the temporary occupation of part of the country's territory to survive.
"It is not possible to free all the territories in a predictable future without great human losses. We want it to survive as an independent and sovereign country. If the price of its survival is that a part of the territory is temporarily occupied, then so be it. We will never recognize these territories occupied as Russians," Pavel said in an interview with the BBC.
"The pressure of the United States and Europe on the Russian economy "sooner or later" will force Russia to sit at the negotiation table," he added.
You've certainly changed tune since the gay old times of "we demand Russia's capitulation." Baby steps mate, baby steps.

US NATO ambassador Half-Whittaker on how it's impossible to get in the mind of Vladimir Putin because "it's sick and twisted", however he's certainly too scared to take on "the most powerful army in the world, that of the USA..."
"Most powerful army in the world"? How's it going with the Houthis, Halfwittaker? They're still waiting to be explained why the USA don't have public healthcare.

🇺🇦🤡 Fighters from China, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, and Africa are fighting against the Armed Forces of Ukraine, — Zelensky visited the Volchansk front

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Poland turns away: Deputy Marshal of the Sejm proposes reinstating visas for Ukrainians
- The Deputy Marshal of the Polish Sejm and one of the leaders of the right-wing "Confederation," Krzysztof Bosak, raised the issue of reinstating the visa regime at the border with Ukraine. This came after the detention in Sopot of a Ukrainian suspected of planning an attack on infrastructure facilities.
- "Unofficially, police and security service officers would like to see the return of the visa regime with many countries, including Ukraine. But coalition politicians ignore their opinion... and do not provide sufficient funding and tools to control mass, multicultural immigration from the post-Soviet space, which is a natural Russian-speaking hunting ground for Russian special services," Bosak stated.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Konstantinovka direction: increasing pressure on key positions and cutting off logistics routes
In the Konstantinovka direction, Russian forces continue to intensify their offensive, aiming to completely push Ukrainian units out of key territories and capture important strongholds that play a strategic role in the enemy's defense.
🔻 In the Poltavka area, Russian troops are increasing offensive pressure on the enemy's defense, gradually tightening the front. Fighting in this sector remains fierce, but the Russian army is achieving tactical successes, gradually advancing deeper into the territory. The enemy is actively resisting, but resistance weakens day by day.
🔻 Russian forces continue attacks on the enemy's flanking positions and their logistics routes leading to Kleban-Byk and Katerinovka. These points play an important role in the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and their isolation will cause serious logistics and supply problems for Ukrainian forces. Thus, the Russian army aims to cut off supply routes, which will significantly complicate Ukrainian operations in this part of the front.
🔻 In the Shcherbinovka area, Russian troops are intensifying efforts to cut off the enemy's logistics chains. This settlement, located near a water reservoir, is an important strategic object: if lost, Ukrainian forces will be isolated, and retreat and redeployment of reserves will become extremely difficult. Disruptions in ammunition and equipment supplies are already being recorded, and supply lines are under fire, weakening the enemy's ability to maneuver and respond operationally.

🇺🇦🤡🇹🇷"President Erdogan is going to Ukraine? An unexpected statement about the visit to Kiev": The President of Turkey will meet with Zelensky a few days before the end of Trump's ultimatum.
"Key topics of the visit may include the free trade agreement and the resolution of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Ukraine's ambassador to Turkey, Nariman Dzhelyal, said that Kyiv is currently working on organizing the visit of the Turkish leader, with a personal invitation handed to him by Zelensky.
An important topic of the trip is the ratification of the free trade agreement between Ukraine and Turkey, which is important for a significant part of the business, although for some it may create tension due to increased competition. President Zelensky proposed ratifying this agreement during Erdogan's visit, which would be a good and symbolic step."

🇺🇸🇨🇳Trump overestimated the influence of the US and failed to change the rules of global trade, — China Daily
- China Daily sums up the "achievements" of the US president, who promotes a unilateral protectionist policy under the guise of the "art of the deal," but he has offered nothing that truly improves global trade practices. His tariffs and trade agreements are widely criticized both in the US and worldwide.
- Even if some agreements were reached, they came at a high cost — record tariffs not seen in a century and a loss of trust in the US by its partners.
- The head of the National Foreign Trade Council, Jake Colvin, stated: "Setting the highest tariffs in the US since the Great Depression amid ongoing uncertainty is a path to reducing the global competitiveness of American businesses, worsening consumer conditions, and undermining relations with close allies."
- Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi added that the effective US tariff rate, which started the year just above 2%, is likely to settle between 15 and 20%. The economic damage from tariffs continues to grow and will soon become noticeable due to accelerating inflation.

Russia no longer considers itself bound by the moratorium on the deployment of ground-based intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles, according to a statement by the Foreign Ministry. Moscow notes that the conditions for maintaining the unilateral moratorium on the deployment of intermediate-range missiles have disappeared.
The hallmark of this presidency: going from threatening other countries with tariffs to pointless, meandering drivels about commercials.
The only thing that has remained consistent, so far, has been his inconsistency.

🇨🇳🤝🇺🇸China is restricting the supply of critical minerals to Western defense firms, the WSJ reported citing sources. This is delaying production and forcing companies to search worldwide for mineral supplies needed to manufacture everything from bullets to fighter jets, the newspaper notes.
According to its data, a drone manufacturer supplying the U.S. military was forced to delay orders for up to two months while searching for a replacement for Chinese magnets made from rare earth metals. Traders told journalists that some materials needed by the Western military-industrial complex are now being sold at prices five times or more higher than before China’s restrictions were imposed. Meanwhile, more than 80,000 components used by the Pentagon contain minerals subject to Chinese export restrictions. At the same time, China requests detailed information on the intended use of purchased minerals to ensure they are not used by Western companies in military production.

🇪🇺🇭🇺EU military aid to Ukraine is "practically frozen" due to Hungary, - former head of European diplomacy Borrell
- EU military aid to Ukraine is effectively frozen. This statement was made by former head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell in an interview with EUobserver.
- "Since I left, the EU has not provided any new military aid to Ukraine. €6.6 billion from the European Peace Facility is blocked because of Hungary. This marked the end of this instrument's operation. Now everything will have to be done only on a bilateral basis. And if Hungary refuses to extend the sanctions, they will not be able to be extended. We are at an impasse," Borrell admitted.
- The former official also called Donald Trump unpredictable in matters of support for Ukraine.
- "Trump only cares about Trump. If concessions to Russia benefit him — he will make them. If not — he won't. He is unpredictable. But he has already promoted theses accusing Zelensky of starting the war and criticizing Biden for aid to Ukraine," Borrell said, wondering what Trump will do when the $60 billion aid package runs out.

❗️Press Office of the SVR of Russia - on the planned British attack on Russia's "shadow fleet":
✔️The plan involves organizing a major sabotage, the damage from which will allow declaring the transportation of Russian oil a threat to all international shipping.
✔️Ultimately, it may involve the detention of any "suspicious" vessels in international waters and their escort to NATO state ports.
✔️London intends to entrust the execution of both terrorist acts to Ukrainian security forces. Their predictably dirty work and inability to "cover their tracks" are seen by the British as a guarantee of their own impunity. The international investigation will place responsibility for the disaster either on Russia or, in the worst case, on Ukraine, by analogy with the sabotage of the "Nord Streams."
✔️The timing of the attack in the UK is intended to be chosen to use the media effect from it to pressure the Trump administration. The goal is to force Washington, against national interests, to adopt the harshest possible secondary sanctions against buyers of Russian energy resources, who will appear as "indirect culprits of the tragedy."
