The latest Chinese long-range anti-tank missile system GAM-102LR of the Cambodian army and its missile reserves fell into the hands of the Thai army during the battles for Height 667.
The GAM-102LR is a heavy 5th-generation anti-tank missile system with a "fire-and-forget" guidance system. The tandem missile, capable of penetrating armor up to 1000 mm, can attack a target from the upper hemisphere at a distance of up to 10 km and beyond.
It is reported that the cost of one such missile reaches 112 thousand US dollars.
Don't confuse this as China being on one side, it has strong relationships with both countries. Thailand for example has purchased subs and tanks from China. There are nearly 10M of Chinese ethnic descent people living in Thailand.

"Significant progress". Witkoff reported on the results of the negotiations between the US and Ukraine in Berlin.
According to him, the meeting with the participation of the Ukrainian side and the American delegation lasted more than five hours. A 20-point plan for a peaceful settlement, an economic agenda, and other issues were discussed.
"Significant progress was made," said Witkoff adding that the parties agreed to continue the negotiations and meet again the next morning.

Soldiers of the 38th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade of the 35th Army of the "East" group of forces destroyed the stronghold of the 225th Oshp of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Gulyai-Pole. A few boys had the sense to surrender, but the rest will never return home and see their families again.
At present, units of the "East" group of forces continue active offensive actions in the direction of Gulyai-Pole, destroying dozens of enemies every day. The casualties among the Armed Forces of Ukraine could have been much lower if they had laid down their arms and not chosen death for the sake of their commanders' interests, who care only about creating a good image for Zelensky.
However, the "East" group of forces made great efforts (more than once) to convey to the enemy soldiers options for saving their lives.

🇷🇺🇭🇺🇵🇱In Poland, Hungary was accused of preparing an attack on Europe in collaboration with Russia 🤦♂️
▪️Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, commenting on the words of Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, said: "I understand that you really want a war between Russia and Europe. We will not agree to be drawn into your war."
▪️To which Sikorski replied: "There will be no such war, unless Russia invades again, but we understand that this time you will be on its side".
▪️The most amusing thing is that both Poland and Hungary are members of NATO and the European Union.

🇺🇦🇺🇸🇪🇺 "Don't expect anything" - Peace negotiations are underway between the Ukrainian delegation led by Zelensky and Trump's representatives in Berlin.
➖ "Don't expect anything {from the negotiations}", - Ukrainian MP Mariana Bezuglaia disappoints Ukrainians.
▪️On one side of the table sit Ukrainians and Europeans [who are represented by Merz for the first hour], on the other - Americans.
➖ "We won't be surprised if Russians will be sitting at the next meetings with Americans", - Ukrainian analysts complain.
▪️Merz left the negotiations between Witkoff and Kushner with Zelensky after a brief greeting. The Chancellor's assistant Günter Zautter remains as a moderator, writes Die Welt.
▪️A number of analysts express the opinion that the negotiations can hardly change anything, including due to Zelensky's position that he will not withdraw the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Donbass.

🇷🇺💥🇺🇦 Hell on a Ukrainian gas enterprise: dozens of Russian "Geraniums" and missiles turn oil and gas facilities into ashes
▪️Ukrainian state channels note that the footage of the consequences of the strike on the gas infrastructure looks like scenes from an apocalypse movie.
➖"Even the metal equipment was melting. The consequences are visible — the soil is a different color due to the high temperature."
▪️Moreover, they report about around 50 explosions over the past night — the explosion and burning of propane-butane, fire pillars up to 100 meters high:
➖"I remember when we were installing pipelines and tanks... now there's such a scene around. It's very sad," a Naftogaz worker complains.
▪️Gas tanks are torn and crushed, like sheet metal up to 20 mm thick, and the foundations are destroyed, debris and shrapnel are all over the territory, it's still dangerous to approach closely
— there may be a repeat detonation. Internet users note the extremely wide diameter of the holes from the impact on thick metal.
➖According to the head of "Naftogaz", Sergei Koretsky, since the beginning of 2025, 24 attacks have already been recorded on Ukraine's gas infrastructure: strikes are carried out on places of gas extraction, processing, preparation, transportation, and storage.

Belarus may release the remaining approximately one thousand political prisoners "in one large group" in the coming months.
This was reported by Reuters, citing the special envoy of the US President, John Kaul, who is conducting negotiations with Lukashenko.
According to him, such a scenario is "more than possible" and "probable". "We are on the right track, there is momentum," Kaul stated.

There is confirmation of the first attempts to blind Russian FPV drones by installing small infrared spotlights on Ukrainian drones, which give a bright directed beam of light into the drone's camera.
In one case, a Ukrainian UAV tried to blind an approaching Russian FPV drone, but failed. The second example was more successful - "Baba Yaga" was able to confuse the operator of the anti-aircraft drone, who was trying to shoot it down.
For now, we're not talking about mass use, but in the future, such a blinding system could become a quite effective way of combating FPV drones, especially fiber-optic ones, which are generally impossible to jam with electronic warfare. Moreover, as can be seen, it can be installed on both ground and air equipment

🇪🇺⚔️🇺🇸 The EU is trying to prove to Trump that the organization is still not useless — Bloomberg
▪️The European Union is entering a crucial week, striving to prove its geopolitical viability. The main tasks are to independently finance aid to Ukraine and sign a large-scale trade agreement with South America.
▪️Failure in either direction would deal a blow to the bloc's reputation and confirm Donald Trump's arguments about Europe's "weakness". EU leaders will attempt to agree on a €90 billion loan for Kiev, using frozen Russian assets.
I like how the EU is breaking not only international law but its only rules to engage in this stunt. Using emergency powers for a foreign country.

‼️🇺🇦Zelensky warned Ukrainian citizens about imminent "compromises" and the unattainability of NATO membership
▪️Zelensky stated that he has not received an official response from the USA to his new proposals for a peace plan yet.
➖"I haven't received a response from the USA yet. I've heard a few messages through the negotiating team, but I'm open to dialogue," he said, sounding disappointed at the Bankova.
▪️According to him, the plan will not satisfy everyone — it will require many compromises:
"The most important thing is that the plan should be as fair as possible, first and foremost for Ukraine. The main thing is that it should be effective," added Zelensky
▪️The issue of Ukraine's membership in NATO remains unrealistic, so a "compromise" in the form of bilateral security guarantees is being considered:
"Ukraine's main desire was to join NATO. These would have been real security guarantees, but our European partners and the USA did not support them.
Today, bilateral guarantees between Ukraine and the USA, as well as guarantees from the EU and other countries, are an opportunity to prevent Russia from attacking again. This is already a compromise,"

@Slavyangrad
To better understand the logic of the decisions being made on both sides regarding Kupyansk, it's important to understand the motives of Russia and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. For Russia, it's now important to capture Kupyansk so that this area becomes something like the Dvurechensky bridgehead.
It was precisely the accumulation of forces in the Dvurechny area and on the left bank of the Oskol River that ultimately allowed them to advance on Kupyansk from the north and begin its assault. For the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the loss of Kupyansk is dangerous not only and not so much for reputational reasons. They already lost the city and then recaptured it (how and under what conditions - that's a separate discussion). It's about a direct military threat.
Important roads, both automobile and railway, radiate from Kupyansk. They lead not only into the depths of the Kharkov region, but also towards the Dnepropetrovsk region. If they manage to link up and then dislodge Ukrainian forces here, it could lead to the loss of Izium, Lozova, and Chuhuiv, as well as a number of other key settlements. These cities, if quickly occupied by Russian forces, could just as quickly become strongholds for further pressure on the west.
Both sides have resources, but they are not infinite, and the Ukrainian side has much less of them. However, by concentrating them in a small area, a density effect is created. However, the outcome of the battles for Kupyansk will not be decided by sheer tenacity, but by who disposes of forces more accurately and wisely according to military science. Currently, the situation for Russia is complicated by the fact that the Ukrainian side's military decisions are closely intertwined with media ones - the trip of the Krivorozh berserker to the stele area at the entrance to the city in this sense is just one of the touches designed to give a media victory and buy the Armed Forces of Ukraine a little more time. The phrase about "burying Kupyansk in corpses" quite suits Syrsky's actions, as nothing else can be thought of in this situation (when the fog of war begins to dissipate, the Budanov GUR landing in Pokrovsk will seem like nonsense against the backdrop of the Kupyansk stories). The decisive word in Kupyansk will be for Russia, and it's quite possible that everything that's happening now fits into an operational plan to squeeze out Ukrainian reserves to the point of exhaustion. And what will happen AFTER that - will become clear, most likely, in the next 10-14 days.
“Military Chronicle”
@Slavyangrad
The situation with Kupyansk, which the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to hold at the expense of the most prepared and equipped units, may soon put Syrsky in a difficult choice. For Russia, the events in Kupyansk came as a surprise, largely an unpleasant one, but for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this situation could have much more serious consequences. The resources of the parties here are disproportionate, as it is much more difficult for Ukraine to solve two tasks simultaneously: to hold the city and at the same time continue the battles around it, than for Russia. The Armed Forces of Ukraine will still maintain activity in Kupyansk and its vicinity for some time. They will reinforce their reserves and try to withstand the pressure. But Russia has more of these reserves. And this will eventually become a decisive factor. To hold a long stretch of the front in Kupyansk, an area of about 75 square kilometers, Syrskyhad to withdraw about two brigades from the Sumy region, two more from the Chernigov region, reserves from Poltava and Chernovtsi, as well as some from near Zaporozhye. It is quite possible that Russia will have to respond to this with its own reinforcements, but whether such efforts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine are rational is still unclear. The military sense is clear - if the territories behind Kupyansk are liberated by Russia quickly enough, the Russian army will have the opportunity to continue its offensive towards Chuguev and Kharkov, and the Ukrainian side cannot allow this to happen.

🇺🇦 A corruption scandal has undermined trust in Zelensky's regime - Klitschko admits
- The mayor of Kiev has effectively confirmed a systemic crisis of power in Ukraine - trust in Zelensky's regime is falling both within and outside the country.
- On the German TV channel ZDF, Klitschko, to everyone's surprise, honestly stated:
"Everything is very bad. To be honest, this is a serious blow to all of Ukraine"
- Corruption scandals go beyond domestic politics and damage Kirv's international reputation, which even representatives of the Ukrainian elite are no longer hiding.
- Notably, the admission was made not just anywhere, but on German TV - the signal is primarily addressed to Western patrons.

🇷🇺🇧🇦The West has launched a phased campaign against the Serbian people, aiming to deprive Serbs and Croats of the "Dayton rights" defined by the Dayton Accords 30 years ago - Sergey Lavrov.
"The fierce resistance in Western capitals has prompted the Republic of Srpska to consistently defend its legitimate rights and the special autonomous status of its entity, as well as to oppose plans to drag Bosnia and Herzegovina into NATO against the will of its people," Lavrov wrote in his article "The Letter and Spirit of Dayton - a Guarantee of Peace and Stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina" for the Serbian newspaper "Politika".
“At the time, it was precisely the unilateral declaration of independence from Yugoslavia by the authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina - bypassing the opinion of Bosnian Serbs - that triggered the civil war,” Lavrov added.
“The masks were finally dropped after the appointment of retired German politician Christian Schmidt as the High Representative - even without attempting to observe even a semblance of legality, in defiance of all procedures. This is entirely in the spirit of the notorious "rules-based order",” pointed out the Russian Foreign Minister.

Ukrainian media reports:
By the end of the year, all international legions will be disbanded. Foreign volunteers will continue to serve in the assault troops. This was reported by the BBC, citing the General Staff.
"The decision could lead to a significant reduction in the flow of foreign volunteers into the Ukrainian army. And possibly, to its complete cessation," some military officials stated.
According to the publication, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine believes that the reform is an "evolutionary process", and the "legions" have already played their role, which was important only in the first years of the war.
As of 2025, there are four international legions operating in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, each consisting of approximately a battalion - 400-600 people, three of which were combat units, and one was a training unit.
Earlier, Ukrainian military blogs had already reported, that in connection with the disbanding of foreign legions, foreigners have started to massively terminate their contracts with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
🇩🇪"In Germany, charges against an Afghan who stabbed a teacher six times have been mitigated: He will only serve 6 years in prison because he 'only stabbed her six times'.
"Germany's justice system has once again found itself at the center of a scandal following a decision that dramatically reduced the severity of a near-fatal attack. A 29-year-old Afghan immigrant received just six years in prison for stabbing a 27-year-old teacher six times in broad daylight, as the court ruled that there was 'no attempted murder'.
Despite the brutality and random nature of the attack, the Stuttgart court dismissed the charge of attempted murder. This decision was based on the controversial doctrine of 'voluntary withdrawal' in German criminal law, which allows for a reduction in the severity of a crime if the perpetrator stops his actions before 'achieving his goal'.
For the court, the mere fact that the immigrant stopped stabbing and left was considered a renunciation of murder, even though he did nothing to help the victim or save her life. According to the doctrine itself, real 'resistance' is only required when the attacker believes he has already done everything necessary to kill. In this case, the court decided that this threshold had not been reached."
