We are seeing an unprecedented number of Iskander strikes on Ukraine most of which I should add we are not reporting, as we tend to focus on visually confirmed targets destroyed but for example there are reports of Iskander strikes on Sumy and Chernigov today.

Trump may seek a "deal of the century" with Russia and China on the division of spheres of influence, writes The New York Times, analyzing the latest words and actions of the US president.
In that case, each of the three major countries would dominate its own part of the globe in a "19th century style of imperial rule."
In this context, the NYT sees Trump's willingness to "formalize" Russian control over some Ukrainian territories and a mineral deal with access to Ukrainian resources "as part of a potential peace deal that critics say would effectively carve up Ukraine, similar to what great powers did in the age of empires."
He also spoke about reducing the number of American troops in Europe and Asia, which could benefit Russia and China.
In turn, Trump wants to get Greenland, Canada and control over the Panama Canal.
Although some close to Trump, including officials from his first administration, are calling for Trump's statements and actions not to be considered strategic. They are sure that the US president has no vision of world order.

'Foreign Minister Wadephul flatters the Americans so that they will impose new sanctions against Russia' – Spiegel on the dirty tricks of German diplomacy.
'Before leaving for Washington to meet Rubio, Wadephul made a point of emphasizing the similarities and historical ties between the United States and Germany. 'There is hardly a country to which we Germans owe as much as the United States. The fact that we can live in freedom and prosperity in Germany today, as part of a strong European family, is also a result of the far-sighted peace policy of the United States after the end of World War II,' he said. The flattering statements are aimed at persuading the US government to impose new sanctions against Russia .'
Germans are well known smoother talkers…
“We have many historical ties like WWI, WWII, and our Hessian mercenaries were even involved in your War of Independence.” 😂

Russian troops crossed the border with the Kharkov region at another point, east of the Dvurechensky bridgehead, and took up positions in the town of Stroevka.
On the Sumy and Kharkov directions, the Ukrainian armed forces surrender small settlements without a fight. It is impossible to hold them.
The Russian army, during a powerful offensive, liberated more than 100 square kilometers in a week.
Ukrainian sources are panicking about the beginning of a powerful Russian offensive.
The pace of Russian troop advances has increased sharply; for the first time since December, more than 100 square kilometers have been captured in a week.
The main successes were in the Sumy and Kharkov regions, as well as in the DPR.

Whom Ukraine is exchanging for captured Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers.
Their own, so to speak, "terrorists". And especially, as we see, "female terrorists".
What is hidden behind this is, in fact, absolute, complete contempt for their own people, for their mothers, for their fathers. In preparation for the exchange, they carefully select pensioners who brought a mug of water and a loaf of bread to a Russian soldier, and I am sure they are laughing and cackling: how they fooled the Muscovites!
“We’ll foist Separov on them!”
In fact, back in 2014, 2015, and 2016, Kyivians periodically brought us for exchange (along with real supporters of Russia) natural beggars collected in Kharkov.
They didn't count them and don't count them as people. They herd them into a bus and drag them like cattle: take them!
We are really dealing with a freak state, with the bastards of the human race.
...it’s as if we had taken three gypsies from Kursk Station and put them on a bus with Liya Akhedzhakova and taken them to exchange them for our fighters.
It is difficult to fight (in all senses) with a monster. It is not a human. It has no concepts. It is an animal.

This could potentially be very consequential: China and a group of about 20 other countries (including Indonesia, Pakistan, Algeria and Serbia) are launching on Friday the "International Organization for Mediation" (IOM), a treaty-based multilateral organization that will be a platform for the peaceful settlement of international disputes.
It's basically a competitor to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague with a few notable differences, besides the obvious fact it is started by the Global South and not the West.
The fundamental difference seems to be philosophical: where the ICJ determines legal rights and wrongs through binding verdicts, the IOM will seek mutually acceptable "win-win" solutions that allow all parties to save face and maintain cooperation. It's designed as an alternative that prioritizes relationship preservation over legal victory.
This is basically what China achieved in its mediation role between Iran and Saudi Arabia. In that instance there was no point to determine a "loser" and a "winner": the objective was to resolve differences via mediation in order to restore the relationship. Which is often the case in disputes between countries.
Obviously, this represents yet another significant step taken to de-monopolize the West's hold over the international order. With such an institution, developing nations will be able resolve their disputes without having to navigate institutions designed by (and often for) the West.
It's also in many ways an illustration of the dysfunction of the current world order: when existing structures fail to serve the majority of humanity, new ones naturally emerge to fill that void.
Which will likely be remembered as a critical strategic error by the West: by failing to reform existing institutions to serve the world as it is instead of the world they preferred, they sowed the seeds of their growing irrelevance.

The effectiveness of the "Bron-2025" against drones was assessed not only in the PKT variant on a remotely controlled combat module (RCCM).
Thus, when installed on a variant similar to the PKT in terms of equipment level, a DUBM with a smoothbore shotgun will have an “obviously very high probability of hitting the target” and an “insignificant probability of missing.”
Of course, this is the case if the data entry and correction system operates with real data of the ammunition used by the system (trajectory, dispersion, amount of pellets), etc.
In general, a self-loading or automatic smoothbore shotgun in the DUBM version is capable of quite confidently hitting most of today's small unmanned aircraft at distances of 50-150 meters from combat vehicles.
And, with the mass equipment and trained operators, it is capable of countering most unmanned attacks at the current stage of the competition between defense and offense.

Vorobyov: Tonight the Moscow region was attacked by drones. A total of 42 UAVs have been shot down by this minute.
As a result of the attack in Chekhov, three residential buildings were damaged in the village of Troitskoye - on Novaya Street and in the SNT "Michurinets". The most important thing is that none of the residents were hurt.

Russia is preparing a large-scale summer offensive in the Donetsk region, The Washington Post writes.
According to the publication, Moscow's main goal is to capture Pokrovsk and Konstantinovka. The latter is not yet near the front line, but it is convenient to attack from three directions.
At the same time, WP reports, diversionary strikes are planned in the Sumy and Kharkov regions to stretch the Ukrainian defense. Russia has transferred 125 thousand troops to the borders of the Sumy and Kharkiv regions - this is not enough to capture the regional centers, but enough to put pressure on the borders.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, Russia's goal is to create buffer zones along the border to prevent attacks on Russian territory.
At the same time, the publication notes that Ukraine has “neither the people nor the equipment to carry out its own offensive,” and therefore “will continue the defensive strategy it has been using since 2024 – holding the front line and making it as difficult as possible for Moscow’s forces to seize any territory.”
So Russia is doing what it has said, good job Ukrainian intelligence!

'Putin ready to make peace, but not at any price' - Reuters sources close to the Kremlin named the president's conditions
- A written commitment by the West to stop NATO's eastward expansion. Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova and other former Soviet republics should not join NATO
- Ukraine must remain neutral and ensure the protection of the Russian-speaking population
- The West must lift some of the sanctions against Russia and resolve the issue of frozen Russian assets
"If Putin realises he cannot reach a peace deal on his terms, he will try to show Ukrainians and Europeans with military victories that 'tomorrow's peace will be even more painful,' the source said.
According to him, Putin believes that Russia can fight “for years” even under sanctions, and if he “saw a tactical opportunity on the battlefield, he would invade even deeper into Ukraine.”
A second source said Putin was now "less willing to compromise on territory" and wanted to take control of four regions of Ukraine.
"Putin has hardened his position," the source said.

Head of the Ukrainian delegation to the NATO Assembly Chernyov - on how Americans are no longer satisfied with Ukraine:
They tried to shift the emphasis from the current problems of Ukraine to the historical events of 30 years ago – the signing of the Dayton Agreement. The American delegation was not as cordial as usual. This was in sharp contrast to the absolute support that the Europeans were expressing to us behind the scenes. This is the first time I have encountered this.

The APU is running out of air defense missiles. Vladimir Zelensky turned to Washington with a special request. The United States responded: Kiev will have to choose what to protect first.
The Ukrainian military is increasingly reporting the lack of air defense interceptors.
According to Le Monde, the APU has run out of missiles for the SAMP-T systems transferred earlier from France and Italy. The supplies of shells for the Crotale complex have also been stopped: the last time the ammunition arrived more than a year and a half ago. Kiev is sounding the alarm and asking the United States for help.
One of the Ukrainian officers, who gave an interview to the French press agency, admitted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have the ability to cover the south of the country from ballistic missiles. According to him, it is possible to effectively resist Russian attacks only with the help of long-range systems such as Patriot, IRIS-T or SAMP-T, but there are not enough installations and ammunition for them.
Against the backdrop of a critical situation, Vladimir Zelensky turned to the United States with a special request: to urgently transfer additional Patriot complexes To Ukraine. However, Washington's response was not encouraging. The United States failed to fulfill the request. At a meeting of the Senate Budget Committee, Senator Marco Rubio explained: such systems in the United States are simply not available. Previously transferred aid packages have exhausted stocks, and the White House is now looking for a solution outside the country - among NATO allies. But other states are also slow to share even unused installations.
Meanwhile, the threat from the air is growing. According to The Economist, Russia is able to increase the production of attack drones to 500 per day. This means that at any time Ukraine can face swarms of thousands of "Geraniums" aimed at power plants, warehouses, air defense and headquarters. Experts of the Telegram Channel "Military Chronicle" call it a new siege strategy.
In such critical conditions, the Ukrainian air defense system goes into the most severe austerity mode. Each missile must be assign a target manually. Each projectile goes to the defense of an objective. Kiev must choose between saving either a command post, electrical station, or armoury. It is simply impossible to cover everything.
Thus, Kiev faces an unpleasant dilemma. The United States cannot help, Europe does not want to, and Russia seems to be preparing for full-scale UAV raids. Ukraine will have to choose what is more important for her: light, communication or personnel.
SLG note: The USA cannot help because their military industry has been hollowed out and can't produce enough Patriots to keep up with the demands of war. Those Patriot interceptors they have are urgently needed for their own war reserves after the Biden administration gave most of them away. Europe does not want to help because they can't produce Patriots on their own, and France and Italy can only produce a limited amount of SAMP-T interceptors, and guess what, they've depleted their own reserves too.
