We discussed in detail the challenges we are facing now because of Russia’s tactics of ballistic missile strikes, and our ability to counter this tactic, both at the military and diplomatic levels. We identified solutions and technological steps, as well as asymmetric measures that can give Ukraine greater protection. There was a briefing on the situation at the front, primarily in the areas of Slovyansk and Kostiantynivka, and also on the situation with the maritime export corridor – what has already been done in this area and what action plan is still to be implemented.

We are only selling weapons, including advanced technology. That is our business because we also have to support our country’s economy, and we are not afraid of anyone’s threats. We will continue supplying weapons to Iran. 🇺🇸 Trump replied: If you continue making deals with Iran, we will cancel all our agreements with Russia.

The new agency will focus on political and strategic intelligence, reflecting a broader European push to strengthen independent intelligence capabilities amid growing security threats and uncertainty over U.S. support. Source: The EconomistX13hRT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: The Wall Street Journal reports that President Donald J. Trump is weighing whether to resume major combat operations against Iran following Tuesday’s missile attack on U.S. forces, with CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper presenting an option for 10–14 days of intensive airstrikes aimed at crippling Iran’s remaining missile capabilities. According to the Journal, Cooper argues a larger offensive would reduce Iran’s ability to launch future attacks and lessen the long-term demand for U.S. air defense interceptors. By contrast, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine has warned that dwindling interceptor stockpiles increase the risks of a renewed campaign, though thX3h#Russia’s Pivot #East: A Strategic Gamble My Opinion: #Putin made the major strategic mistake: he turned Russia’s pivot to the East; it comes and goes in waves.

Zelensky just told Sky News that Ukrainian intelligence shows Russia preparing a new mobilization wave of 300,000 to 500,000 men, likely after the September elections. The goal is clear: feed more bodies into the fight as current recruitment fails to keep up with losses. At the same time, Ukrainian drones scored another precise hit in occupied Crimea. They destroyed an S-400 launcher and its critical 96L6 radar just north of the Crimean Bridge. That system is one of Russia’s main long-range air defense assets. Taking out the radar helps blind the batterX9hRT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: Benjamin Netanyahu tells Christian Zionists in America that his bloodline comes directly from the original Hebrews in Jerusalem.

Analysts warn replenishing these high-end missile inventories could take years, despite expanded production efforts, leaving limited capacity for other major contingencies if demand remains high. CNN reports Pentagon sources say those estimates are close to internal figures.

Rather than targeting entire facilities, Ukraine is now reportedly focusing on high-value technological units whose destruction makes repairs significantly more difficult, more expensive, and far more time-consuming. 📍 The image shows the Moscow Oil Refinery, one of Russia’s key fuel production facilities and a potential example of the type of infrastructure vulnerable to this evolving strategy.
