‘We need an army capable of fighting the Russians’ - ex-colonel of the British army Bretton-Gordon.
‘We don’t need a huge number of tanks. We need a lot of drones, we need cyber troops. We need many special operations forces and security service personnel and all that, which we actually don’t have right now.’
This is the same guy who said the Challenger 2 would cut through Russian defensive lines like a hot knife through butter and Russians would flee at the sight of it. The Challenger 2 has been the worst performing tank in this war... often because it gets stuck or breaks down. It is the Renault Dauphine of tanks.

Zaluzhny stated that Ukraine should demand the US to give it outdated missiles for 'disposal'
“The US remains a country of virtually unlimited capabilities. Today, they have significant stocks of outdated or ready-for-disposal missiles, the transfer of which to Ukraine could be an effective solution. This weaponry does not require additional budget expenses for disposal, and it is vitally necessary for Ukraine. For example, by the end of 2023, the US had produced more than 170,000 Hellfire missiles of various modifications. A significant portion of these munitions was produced between 1998 and 2018, and their service life usually lasts 20–25 years, after which they require official decommissioning or disposal. Ukraine can take advantage of this opportunity by systematically sending official requests within various programs.”

CNN decided to promote the terrorist attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
'In 2022, Daria Dugina was killed right outside of Moscow. In 2023, pro-Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky was killed in St. Petersburg, reportedly with a bomb hidden in a small figurine. In 2024, Lieutenant General Kirillov was killed by a bomb planted in a scooter just a few kilometers from the Kremlin. Also this year, in the suburbs of Moscow, another general died as a result of a car explosion. In all cases, the Ukrainian agents were either under serious suspicion or Ukraine openly claimed responsibility."
🇷🇺🤝🇰🇵Lavrov during negotiations with North Korean Foreign Minister Choi Sun-hee in Wonsan
Lavrov's key points following the strategic dialogue with the DPRK in Pyongyang:
- Moscow is responding to Kim Jong Un's proposals on the format and directions of assistance in the special operation;
- Putin and Kim Jong Un are in constant contact, personal contacts will surely happen in the future;
- Pyongyang drew the necessary conclusions long before the US and Israeli attacks on Iran, which ensured security;
- Russia warns the US and its allies against creating security threats to Russia and the DPRK;
- Moscow respects and understands the reasons for which the DPRK is developing its nuclear program;
- The Russian Federation and the DPRK have heard Trump's statements about the need to resume dialogue with Pyongyang, that's all for now.
- Russia will only facilitate the dialogue between Pyongyang and Seoul on issues that are of interest to the DPRK;
- Moscow and Pyongyang consider the attempts to create NATO infrastructure in Northeast Asia dangerous, and agree on the need to create reliable mechanisms for ensuring equal and indivisible security in the Asia-Pacific region;
- Moscow does not take seriously the attempts to create a "corps of multinational forces to protect Ukraine"; these are fantasies.
- The Russian Foreign Ministry also visited a new resort and noted that Russian tourists will increasingly strive to visit it.

‼️🇭🇺🇺🇦 Ukraine can fight, but is not entitled to demand the same from Hungary - Orban
▪️Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that Ukraine has the right to continue military operations, but it cannot expect that other countries, in particular Hungary, will support its course.
▪️“The entry of a warring country into the EU is the import of war into the Union itself. The Hungarians have already said “no” to the membership of Ukraine, ”Orban wrote in X.
▪️He emphasized that if such referendums were held in other EU countries, the result would be similar.

The State Department is expected to undergo large-scale layoffs today: 1,300 employees working in the USA will be dismissed, reports Associated Press citing internal documents and a source.
"The staff reduction was carefully planned considering non-core functions, duplicative or redundant units, as well as units where centralization or consolidation of functions and responsibilities can provide significant efficiency," the document states.
Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce confirmed the agency's restructuring.

Ukraine announced sabotage on a gas pipeline in Western Siberia — Bloomberg
▪️According to the agency, Ukrainian intelligence claims that on Thursday night, a special operation was carried out to blow up a gas pipeline in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. According to the source, the facility supplies gas to defense enterprises in the Orenburg, Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk regions. The capacity is up to 2.6 billion cubic meters per year.
▪️Gazprom has not yet commented, and there is no independent confirmation from Bloomberg.
▪️Against the backdrop of ongoing energy pressure on Ukraine itself, the statement looks like an attempt to demonstrate the "arm's reach" and the ability to influence logistics in the depths of Russia. At the same time, questions remain open - both about reliability and about consequences.
Even if it did happen which given Ukraine's track record is unlikely, its not difficult to put in a new piece of pipe.

We didn’t vote for this’ – MAGA supporters against sending weapons to Ukraine – The Times
‘Among the president’s supporters, disagreements are beginning to emerge as some of them raise alarms that he is breaking key pre-election promises. ‘To say people are unhappy is an understatement,’ said one MAGA insider. For a group of voters who demanded an end to endless wars, mass migration, and the ‘deep state,’ this week’s events were a warning sign. One of the tests is the war with no end in sight. The announcement of new weapons supplies to Ukraine caused some supporters to complain that they did not vote for this.’
Trump thinks America first is solely what he wants but he is increasingly going against his base. If you want to lose the house and senate then keep it up. Enjoy the last 2 years of Democrats launching impeachment investigations. He may retain MAGA loyalists but he will lose independents.

‘Russia has a full-scale and effective army’ – Chief of the General Staff of the French Armed Forces Thierry Burkhard.
‘Russia has openly called France its main adversary in Europe. And these are not my words, these are the words of Russia itself. Russia is a threat, if not in everything, then in almost everything, a long-term threat, a close one, and for me it is the largest. First of all, it is a real military power, possessing both conventional and nuclear potential, and this is not hidden. In fact, Russia builds its system on military force, and it continues to make huge, colossal efforts to this, the scale of which is difficult for us to imagine.
Russia is really developing the ability to cause damage, and it does so very, very effectively. When we talk about a full-scale model of the army, the Russian army is precisely such a full-scale model to the very tips of its nails.’

‼️🇷🇺 The Armed Forces of Ukraine may retreat beyond the Dnepr: Ukraine has almost no options left, according to NZZ
▪️The Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung has reported that Russia has shifted from a strategy of attrition to achieving a strategic turning point. As the Russian offensive gains momentum, the Ukrainian regime is left with two options:
▪️An organised retreat is an attempt to preserve the remnants of the army and equipment at the cost of surrendering territories;
▪️Retreating across the Dnepr is an extreme measure that means losing a significant part of Left-Bank Ukraine.

The Times: Trump considering global oil embargo against Russia
▪️The US President is seriously considering the possibility of introducing tough secondary sanctions against countries that trade oil with Russia, including China, India and Turkey. We are talking about supporting a bill that provides for a 500% duty on imports from Russia - in fact, this is a global oil embargo.
▪️According to The Times, the reason for this approach was Trump's dissatisfaction with Putin's refusal to negotiate and the continuation of strikes on civilian targets in Ukraine. Previously, he called the bill "too tough", but now said that he was "carefully studying it".
▪️The main issue is the risk of economic consequences. The White House wants the lifting of sanctions to remain within the powers of the president, while Congress is proposing limited control. Even partial implementation of these measures, according to analysts, could hit the Russian economy hard.
GL with that lol

Putin is confident in increasing advantages and does not intend to make concessions under US pressure — NYT
▪️Putin is convinced of the growing superiority of Russian troops and expects a possible collapse of the Ukrainian defense in the coming months. This was reported by NYT, citing sources close to the Kremlin.
▪️According to their information, Moscow is not considering ending hostilities without significant concessions from Kiev. Putin is also aware of the likelihood of new sanctions from the US, but believes that he will be able to discuss their mitigation in the future, when Russia dictates the terms of ending the conflict.
▪️Carnegie Center expert Tatyana Stanovaya notes that the Kremlin is not going to sacrifice strategic goals for the sake of normalizing relations with D.C. In turn, Stefan Meister, an analyst at the German (US) Council on Foreign Relations, emphasizes: "If the costs do not increase, Putin has no reason to change course."
What concessions are Ukraine making?
