Zelenskyy accuses Russia of assisting Iran with satellite imagery of U.S. bases in Middle East
share.google/aimode/8PLvrQtM…
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has directly accused Russia of using its satellite network to spy on U.S. military facilities in the Gulf region and passing those images to Iran. [1, 2]
Key Details of the AccusationsCoordinated Intelligence: Zelenskyy stated there is a clear correlation between Russian satellite imaging and subsequent Iranian missile and drone strikes. The images are reportedly used by Iran for pre-strike targeting preparation and post-strike battle damage assessments. [1, 2]
Specific Bases Targeted: Ukrainian intelligence tracked intensive Russian satellite passes over four major air bases on July 19 and July 20 alone: Two facilities in Bahrain
One in Jordan (Muwaffaq Salti Air Base)
One in Kuwait [1, 3, 4]Pattern of Assistance: This builds on previous patterns flagged by Ukraine. In March, Zelenskyy noted that Russian satellites imaged the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia three separate times immediately before it was hit by an Iranian strike. [5, 6, 7, 8]
Sharing Evidence: Zelenskyy stated he has instructed Ukraine’s intelligence services to officially share their data and concrete evidence regarding this Russia-Iran intelligence loop with international partners, including the United States. [1, 2, 5]Wider Geopolitical Impact
U.S. Casualties: The claims come amid escalating regional violence. Roughly 18 U.S. service members have been killed and nearly 100 injured since the outbreak of hostilities involving Iran. [3, 9]
The “Quid Pro Quo”: While Iran has historically provided thousands of Shahed kamikaze drones to fuel Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Moscow appears to be reciprocating with electronic, signals, and satellite reconnaissance data to help Iran target Western assets. [9, 10]
Official Denials: The Kremlin has repeatedly dismissed reports of transferring satellite imagery and drone technology to Tehran, labeling the accusations as “fake news”. [9, 11]

The American Patriot missile is the weapon Ukraine wants the most: its PAC-3 interceptor destroys incoming ballistic missiles by slamming into them at 4,000mph.
And now, Donald Trump has pledged to give Ukraine the blueprints needed for the weapon. But there are still significant hurdles to overcome before Ukraine is able to produce them ⤵️

The “Irkutsk” Putin and the “Omsk” Putin don’t look good.
But seriously, Putin has become a problem for everyone – both inside and outside Russia. He is a problem for Russia’s elites and for “allies,” including China. Putin is a problem for the United States and the European Union.
Putin has completely lost touch with reality. The only thing that interests him is endless war.
This situation cannot last forever.

Putin is losing his second campaign in the war — and this time the excuses don’t work. The failed blitzkrieg of 2022 was a major setback, but Moscow still believed its manpower and money would guarantee victory in a long war of attrition. Four years later, that logic has collapsed.
Russia entered the war convinced that mass + money = victory. But warfare changed while the Kremlin kept fighting yesterday’s war.
🔥 What Moscow underestimated:Technologies like drones, AI systems and precision weapons reshaped the battlefield.
Resource superiority turned into a trap — it allowed Russia to keep a failing strategy alive.Costs now rise faster than gains as the army pushes toward Donetsk.
New capabilities were treated as “supplements” — until they became decisive.Putin tried to win a 2026 war with 2000‑era thinking. Ukraine and its partners reinvented the battlefield — and Russia noticed only when the losses became impossible to hide.

NEW!! GOP Senator Dave McCormick urges colleagues to pass Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act and his bipartisan DROP Act to bankrupt Moscow’s war effort and set up a position of strength for Ukrainian peace negotiation
