🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡- Ukrainian forces continue localized counter attacks in the Limen direction, with Russian troops now at serious risk of encirclement.

"Russian incompetence is showing immensely in this area, as Russia is seemingly pouring more troops into Yarova, deep into the pocket, rather than to relieve the chokehold near Kolodyazi and Shandryholove," - Hudson War Map.

Note, Russia suffered a disastrous encirclement in Limen once before, during the Ukrainian Kharkov counteroffensive of 2022.

🇮🇱⚡- BREAKING: Officials from one Middle Eastern country privately advised another regional state to pursue an agreement with Israel as a tactical measure rather than a genuine peace arrangement. The rationale was to secure a 'peace' deal with Tel Aviv, lower Israel’s guard, and gain time to prepare for a much broader future confrontation before potentially abandoning the agreement.

Israel has imposed a military censorship on the identities of the two countries, Israeli Channel 11 reports. The report states all future normalization efforts from now on will be far more complex than it will publicly be acknowledged.

Unofficial Israeli media are circulating claims that the country allegedly encouraged to pursue a tactical "peace" agreement with Israel is Saudi Arabia, and the state advocating the approach: Turkey.

Note, Turkey and Israel are increasingly at odds across multiple theaters, including the Middle East, the Eastern Mediterranean, and parts of Africa. The reports also come as Saudi Arabia continues discussions with the United States over a civilian nuclear program, with normalization with Israel often cited as a key requirement. Meanwhile, Turkey and Saudi Arabia have recently moved closer on the security front through the signing of the trilateral Mecca Agreement defense pact.

Carrington later took to social media and claimed that White privilege was the reason for her ejection. It’s worth noting that the WNBA does not seem to enforce strict rules against racial attacks within its league, as exemplified by Caitlin Clark being repeatedly attacked by Black opponents.
