RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: Mit diesen 5 Prinzipien will der neue Oberbefehlshaber General Drapatyj die Streitkräfte der Ukraine führen: 1. Dezentrale Entscheidungsfindung: Bataillons- und Brigadekommandeure sollen umfassendere Befugnisse erhalten, um operative Entscheidungen vor Ort zu treffen, ohne langwierige Genehmigungsverfahren durch höhere Kommandostellen durchlaufen zu müssen. 2. Vorrang für den Erhalt des Personals: Die Doktrin des „Um jeden Preis-Haltens von Stellungen“ soll durch eine Manöververteidigung ersetzt werden. Keine Einheit soll verpflichtet sein, eine Stellung zu halten, wenn dadurch die Gefahr einer Einkesselung oder ungerechtfertigter Verluste besteht. 3. Technolo

RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: ‼️‼️🇸🇦🇮🇷🇺🇸 Major developments are unfolding in the Middle East – To begin with, Iran rejected the ceasefire proposal presented by Omani mediators and, overnight, violated the ceasefire agreement. Ballistic missiles were launched from central Iran toward the U.S. Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan and American military facilities in Erbil, the capital of Iraq’s Kurdistan Region. U.S. missile defense systems successfully intercepted and destroyed all incoming Iranian ballistic missiles.

RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: 🇷🇺 Russia just put the Telegram founder on an international most-wanted list. The FSB charged Pavel Durov with aiding terrorism and issued a warrant for his arrest, accusing him of letting Ukrainian intelligence use the app to coordinate attacks inside Russia. Durov, who lives in Dubai and hasn’t set foot in Russia in years, has been unbothered from the start. When the charges first landed, he said Moscow was inventing pretexts to choke off free speech and called it the act of a state afraid of its own people. The charge carries up to 15 years, not that anyone expects him to show up and serve them. The timing is almost too on the nose, landing right as the K

RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: Talk about a power move to close out the US trip. 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇫🇮 Financial Times and Politico report that the US Senate just passed a massive new sanctions package against Russian politicians, oligarchs, and banks with an overwhelming 86-12 vote. Just minutes before the vote, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Finnish President Alexander Stubb held a closed-door briefing with senators to seal the deal. Insiders note the vibe between Trump and Zelenskyy is completely different compared to last year, now that Ukraine is proving its momentum. Having a Finn in the room to break down Nordic-Baltic security probably didn’t hurt either.

RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: 🇷🇺🇺🇦RUSSIA now Using S-400 Missiles in Ballistic Role Against UKRAINIAN Targets. Russia has been firing missiles from its S-400 air-defense system on ballistic trajectories against Ukrainian ground targets, including industrial areas. This is a secondary use of an air-defense weapon rather than its main purpose. The missiles are mixed with Iskander and other weapons in larger attacks. The practice helps increase the number of fast threats Ukraine must defend against but offers less precision and power than dedicated strike missiles.
