In Europe, they started talking about the brutal Ukrainian mobilization. The Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Michael O'Flaherty reflected the details in his report
'Selective mobilization is being carried out in Ukraine. Ukrainian military recruitment officers systematically violate human rights. These violations include: include physical violence (beatings), brutal detentions, denial of access to a lawyer, incommunicado detention, mobilization of people with disabilities and other unacceptable actions. Reports have been received, including allegations of torture and deaths during conscription. Although Ukraine has the right to legally carry out conscription, these reports are alarming.

Zelensky seeks to show Trump that he is a useful ally in the fight against China.
The SBU said that it detained two Chinese spies who were collecting secret technologies for the production of Ukrainian Neptune missiles.
Seems doubtful there would be much interest in the Neptune from China, it is really just a Soviet KH-35. Though it should be noted the KH-35 project was completed by Russia in the 90s.

A formal event marked the beginning of construction of the large amphibious assault ship Sergei Kabanov, a modernized version of the 11711 project, at the Yantar shipyard in Kaliningrad.
The ship is named after Lieutenant General Sergei Kabanov, a distinguished military leader who participated in the Soviet-Finnish, Great Patriotic, and Soviet-Japanese wars. He was awarded two Orders of Lenin and four Orders of the Red Banner. This is the third BDK being built under the improved 11711 project, following the launch of the first one.
The second series of BDK project 11711 differs from the first two ships, Ivan Gren and Peter Morgunov, in terms of increased displacement from 6,600 to 8,000 tons, a larger helicopter deck, and a revised superstructure.

Associate Professor of the Department of Ukrainian History at Odessa National University Muzichko demands erasing Duke Richelieu and Count Vorontsov from the history of Odessa by demolishing their monuments.
"We need to decolonize Odessa. I grew up near Primorsky Boulevard, and we were literally forcibly taught that Pushkin is our spiritual symbol," he complains.

*No country was willing to offer guarantees, it was given assurances. No one was willing to fight a war for Ukraine, which is still true to this day. A memorandum is not a legally binding document and creates no legal obligations thus it can never offer guarantees. If you want guarantees then you would sign a treaty.
A Soviet nuclear warhead's "general permitted lifespan of our nuclear warheads is 12 years." It was estimated the Soviet nuclear warheads were produced "5-8 years" prior to 1994. Nuclear weapons must be maintained and this requires specialized knowledge, equipment, and facilities.
The length of service of nuclear warheads is determined by two basic natural processes: the decay of plutonium 239, its partial transformation into americium 243 (in the process of transformation into a stable isotope 244) and the half-life decay of tritium (half-life of 12.5 years).
Americium is a strongly radioactive element, which complicates the service personnel’s work with the warhead. For this reason after a certain period of time, the warhead is sent to be disassembled to separate americium from plutonium. If this procedure is not done in a timely manner, then after 12-15 years (from the moment when the warhead was manufactured) any work with the warhead would present a difficult technological problem because of the strong radioactivity of the warhead—since the work with the warheads cannot be done in a completely automated fashion (unmanned).
Tritium (the radioactive isotope of hydrogen) serves as a catalyst of the firing process during the explosion of the warhead. Due to its half-life term, it has to be replaced in 12 years. When the warhead is filled with an excess amount of tritium, (as it is done with the American warheads), some extension of the service term is possible, but not more than to 15 years.
Therefore, the general permitted lifespan of our nuclear warheads is 12 years. When they remain in operation beyond the identified term of service, they become especially dangerous for the environment.
Trump is considering sending Ukraine an additional Patriot air defense system, two U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal.
According to one of them, the White House has asked the Pentagon for options on additional weapons, including Patriot systems. The possibility of other countries providing such systems is also being explored.
According to a former Pentagon official, the U.S. has given Ukraine three Patriot systems, Germany has given Ukraine three more, and a consortium of European countries has sent one. However, not all of these systems are operational at the same time due to maintenance issues.
Give? Sell maybe.

Brigitte continues to sort out her family relations with Macron in public.
Today, the reason was that Macron tugged her hand twice, preventing her from stopping to take a joint photo on Downing Street before meeting Starmer.
The remark followed immediately. And, judging by the expression on Macron's face, not the most pleasant.
One thing for sure, is another man is involved.

"The EU and Ukraine have already lost this war, and at this bitter moment, European leaders will have to admit their mistaken strategy,"
▪️A war cannot be won on the battlefield; diplomacy is needed to end the conflict and minimize losses.
- The EU spent ~100 billion euros on Ukraine without a clear plan for victory.
- Europe's problems (stagnation, inflation, rising food and energy prices) are a consequence of the war.
▪️On Zelensky:
- A new type of politician - an "actor" playing the role of president.
- Dialogue with him is ineffective
▪️ The path to peace:
- A meeting of the presidents of Russia and the US is needed for a quick ceasefire.
- Without this, the war could drag on for months. - War supporters dominate in Europe, which is harmful to the economy and politics
▪️ Ukraine has the right to choose its own path - peace or war
- But continuing the war is a mistake that harms Europe and Hungary
▪️Orban calls for returning diplomats to the negotiating table and working for peace.

By autumn, Russia will launch 1,000+ drones per night — New York Times
▪️ The publication acknowledged that Russia is reaching a new level in the use of UAVs. According to Western analysts, by autumn, the Russian Armed Forces will be able to regularly launch more than 1,000 attack drones in one raid.
▪️ The article says that Russian industry is confidently increasing the production of disposable exploding UAVs, and records for their use are being broken every week.
▪️Another maximum was set today — a massive night strike with "Geraniums" became the largest in the entire SMO
▪️Analysts suggest that the targets of the strikes are Western arms supplies, military warehouses and airfields, including near the border with Poland.
To be honest I think some of these record breaking narratives are Ukraine attempting to get western support and attention. In my view these are not massive attacks. 50 to 150 missiles is a massive attack.

The director of the French external security department, Nicolas Lerner, believes that it is a serious problem that the French know about the country's intervention in the war in Ukraine.
'A significant part of the French believe that the French military is on the territory of Ukraine because this is the narrative that Russia is promoting. This is extremely serious.'

"Rubicon" is gaining superiority on land and in the air
▪️The strike drones of the "Rubicon" special center destroy target after target every day. Among the catch of the drone operators:
🔹 armored and automotive vehicles,
🔹 elements of communication systems,
🔹 multifunctional UAVs "DeltaQuad Pro" and "Furia",
🔹 reconnaissance UAVs "Gor", "Leleka", "Mara", "FlyEye",
🔹 reconnaissance and strike UAVs "Domakha",
🔹 kamikaze drones "Vector" and "Darts",
🔹 artillery spotter "H10 Poseidon" and more.
Credit to Belusov for putting Rubicon together, and I hope this is a development going on across the Russian military.

If Ukraine had not given up its nuclear weapons, it would not exist as a country' says IAEA Director Grossi.
..in 1991, Ukraine had the 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world. Three years later, it gave it up in exchange for territorial integrity *guarantees from Russia, the US and UK, as stipulated by the Budapest Memorandum. However, these guarantees proved ineffective. Did Kiev make a mistake by giving up its nuclear weapons?
This is false information. An agreement was already in effect between the US, Europe and Russia, according to which the Soviet nuclear arsenal was to come under Russian control. Therefore, Ukraine could not exist as an independent state if it had not recognized this. The international community would not have allowed this. It is also important to remember that Ukraine did not have operational control over these weapons. They were in Moscow. The Ukrainians may have been able to steal nuclear material from these missiles, but they could not have used it for combat

What to do with Russia? So far, we have mostly shifted this task to the Americans: from time to time they have declared Russia a "new axis of evil" or suggested a "reset" of relations. We usually followed their example. As a result, we got an increasingly aggressive Russia.
Russia remains the last empire of the European continent, whose disintegration began in the 1990s and must be continued today.
Russia must be defeated and dismembered:
First, because Putin does not want peace.
Secondly, because his aggressiveness will only increase.
We have to ask: who will lead Europe to Pax Europea?
It is time for Ursula von der Leyen, Friedrich Merz, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Giorgi Meloni and Donald Tusk to show genuine collective leadership and finally resolve the Russian issue!
