🇺🇦 Zelensky’s own former press secretary just torched him publicly
Iuliia Mendel ran his messaging 2019-2021. Now she’s telling French media the war made him:
cancelled elections, unlimited power, a country that got flattened into one guy’s face on TV.
She points at Mindich, Zelensky’s so-called “wallet,” now the name at the center of Ukraine’s corruption scandal, caught on tape haggling over billions in defense money.
One catch worth knowing: Mendel left before the invasion even started, and her last big interview got slammed in Ukraine for sounding a lot like Kremlin talking points.
Insider account, or just someone with an axe to grind getting a platform?
The corruption case behind it is real either way.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Russian Forces Close to Within less than 5 km of the Last Major Ukrainian Strongholds in Donbas “Sloviansk and Kramatorsk”.
Russian forward assault groups have advanced to approximately 4.7 km from the eastern outskirts of Sloviansk (Slavyansk) and Kramatorsk.
These two cities are among the last major Ukrainian-held urban centers and key parts of the “fortress belt” in the remaining portion of Donbas.
Russian forces continue incremental gains, infiltration, and heavy strikes with artillery, glide bombs, and drones, increasing pressure on Ukrainian defenses.

‼️‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺 BIG | New details are emerging from the explosion linked to the family of Russia’s Aerospace Forces commander. The reported casualties have intensified speculation as Russian authorities continue to maintain near-total silence.
According to the latest reports, 27-year-old Danil Peredry, the son-in-law of Lieutenant General Alexander Chaiko, was killed in the explosion.
Chaiko’s daughter, Maria, reportedly sustained severe shrapnel injuries and remains in critical condition, with doctors at a Moscow hospital continuing efforts to save her life.
Meanwhile, there has been no official information regarding the condition of Lieutenant General Alexander Chaiko himself. Russian authorities have provided no public update, while members of his family have also declined to comment, fueling further uncertainty over what happened.
The continued information blackout surrounding one of Russia’s senior military figures is likely to generate even more speculation as questions about the incident remain unanswered.

Many in Europe assume our air forces would effortlessly crush Russia in a war, but we simply don’t have the munitions for it.
We desperately need larger stockpiles of air-launched munitions, particularly cruise missiles

Something strange is happening in Moscow — explosion near generals, and Russia’s biggest bank suddenly out of cash
Reports from Moscow tonight are chaotic and contradictory, but two things stand out:
1. An explosion hit an area where several Russian generals were present
A bomb went off in Moscow during the morning, and multiple Russian channels claim high‑ranking officers were nearby. No confirmed casualties yet — Kremlin sources are silent, and local Telegram feeds are full of panic and speculation.
What’s clear: Security forces are flooding the area.. Russia’s largest bank is suddenly “out of money”
At the same time, users acros several regions report that Sberbank, Russia’s biggest bank, is experiencing major liquidity issues:ATMs empty
withdrawals blocked
“technical failures” across branches
In a stressed wartime economy — refinery fires, drone strikes, elite capital flight — a banking freeze is a dangerous sign.The combination is alarming
Explosion + generals on site + Sberbank liquidity shock = a Moscow that looks unstable tonight.

🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL, CEASEFIRE WITH IRAN IS OVER!
President Trump just pulled the plug and made it crystal clear: America is DONE playing games with the Iranian regime.
“They’re scum… led by sick people,” Trump declared. No more negotiations, no more tolerance for their aggression.
After their repeated attacks on shipping and blatant violations, the gloves are off. Real leadership means protecting our interests and standing up to tyrants.
FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING
