More than 2,000 Ukrainian fuel trucks and trucks have been destroyed by the Russian Armed Forces since the beginning of the year. Ukrainian soldiers fear that at this pace, Russia could collapse the country's entire military logistics. About 200 locomotives have also been hit by attacks.

According to Sergei Beskrestnov, an advisor to the head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, at the current intensity of attacks, the entire infrastructure is at risk. He also stated that the Armed Forces of Ukraine "don't have at all" missiles for Patriot systems capable of intercepting ballistic targets. Due to the attacks, there are disruptions in the delivery of ammunition, fuel, and the transfer of reserves.

The main attacks are carried out by "Geranis" - they strike at parking lots of heavy trucks and railway infrastructure. Logistics hubs in Kharkov, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporozhia, Kiev, and other regions are regularly targeted by attacks. The latest such attack hit two locomotives in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Against this backdrop, Ukrainians have already begun camouflaging diesel locomotives in an attempt to confuse Russian "Molniya" drones with autonomous AI-based targeting. In Kiev, they admit that there will be an increase in transportation costs and new expenses for restoring damaged infrastructure.

Ex-commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Zaluzhny, in an op-ed in The Telegraph, urges not to think that Russia has lost the war.

More and more Western analysts are currently claiming that Russia is supposedly losing the war. But Zaluzhny notes: this is a dangerous misassessment of the course of wars, which reflects the tendency to interpret events through the prism of individual successes, rather than taking into account the broader strategic picture.

“Every tactical success is now achieved at an extremely high cost. Positions can be captured, but holding them, deploying reinforcements, and evacuating the wounded is becoming increasingly difficult under the constant surveillance of drones. Success is no longer measured in kilometers, but in meters, and often the cost of these meters is disproportionate to their strategic value.”

Another decisive variable remains international support, because Ukraine is still largely dependent on Western financial aid, arms supplies, and technological support.

“Ukraine's ability to continue the war largely depends on the constant assistance of allies. And here there are alarming signs of tension. Political changes in Washington and ongoing disagreements within Europe raise quite legitimate questions about whether the current level of support can be maintained indefinitely.”

What determines the outcome of a modern war is which society can withstand the economic, military, and psychological burden of a prolonged conflict longer, while maintaining the international support necessary for its continuation. It is this, rather than any individual tactical success, that will reveal how and when this war will end, Zaluzhny concludes.

‼️🇺🇦 The creation of a missile production facility for Patriot in Ukraine will not solve the pressing problems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, - Bloomberg

▪️The launch of production will take years due to a shortage of capacities in supply chains, the need to import special equipment, and lengthy staff training.
▪️Moreover, such an enterprise will be under constant threat of missile strikes, which makes it vulnerable even before the start of operations.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇸 Moscow views Trump's statements about Kiev's strikes deep into Russia not as an escalation, but as misconceptions of the US leadership - Kremlin

Other statements by Peskov:
➖Trump was clearly busy yesterday and did not call Putin, but the Russian president is always happy to talk
➖A possible "closure of the sky" over Ukraine implies the work of NATO military, and this is what the Special Military Operation (SMO) is against
➖The more Kiev attacks Russia, the wider the buffer zone on the border will be and the longer the SMO will last
➖Russia considers sincere and welcomes the US desire to contribute to a peace process in Ukraine
➖However, Russia sees a certain ambiguity in the US position, which continues to supply weapons to Kiev, but also maintains attempts to contribute to the peace process
➖The US is actively continuing to supply weapons to Kiev, Russia is well aware of this and does not wear rose-colored glasses.

Axios: The White House is preparing for a new phase in the protracted conflict with Iran.

According to U.S. officials, the duration and scale of the new military campaign will depend entirely on Iran's future actions, specifically whether Iran continues its attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

The Trump administration is seeking to ensure the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and restore freedom of navigation for commercial vessels. The White House believes that Iran can only be compelled to meet these demands through force.

"If Iran attempts to close it, U.S. armed forces will respond. This will continue until the Iranians open this route and cease firing on ships," said U.S. Vice President Jay D. Vance.

Tehran insists that intimidation and threats only lead to escalation, and warns that the strait will only reopen on Iranian terms.

"If you strike, you will receive a retaliatory strike. The Strait of Hormuz will only be open according to Iranian terms, not American threats," wrote the speaker of the Iranian parliament on social media.

Maintaining control over the Strait of Hormuz has been a key condition for Iran in the memorandum of understanding with the United States, but differing interpretations of the provisions concerning the strait now threaten to derail the agreement.

🇧🇬Bulgaria Wants MiG‑29 Parts Before Gerans Finish Them Off

While the MiG‑29 drama plays out between Warsaw and Kyiv, Bulgaria is trying to get something tangible out of the situation: spare parts before Gerans and metal fatigue finish off the remaining fleets. Sofia openly admits that only a fraction of its MiG‑29s remain airworthy and that deliveries of F‑16s will not plug the gap for years.

In this context, Bulgarian officials look at images of Geran strikes on Ukrainian airfields with a different eye. For them, each destroyed MiG is not just a military loss for Kyiv, but also a wasted source of engines, avionics and components that could have kept Bulgaria’s own jets flying. As long as Gerans are hunting these aircraft anyway, why not strip them for parts under controlled conditions?

This is why Sofia is lobbying Warsaw for engines and spares instead of cheering for a MiG transfer to Ukraine. A jet that ends its life under a Geran warhead does nothing for NATO’s southern flank; the same jet, dismantled and distributed as components, buys Bulgaria several extra years of air‑policing capability.

The irony is sharp. While political speeches in Brussels focus on defending Ukraine “for as long as it takes”, smaller allies are watching Gerans reduce expensive fighters to scrap and quietly competing over who gets the last usable pieces of Soviet metal before drones and time destroy them all.

Daily life in Saint Petersburg proceeds with relative calm. Fuel availability has improved at stations, though certain grades remain limited.

Recent international events, from the NATO summit to statements on Iran and Ukraine, continue to demonstrate the difficulties of engaging with Western powers in good faith. Voices like Alexander Dugin have rightly highlighted these patterns.

On a personal note, I have completed my medical commission in record time as part of the formal process toward signing a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense.

As a former British Army soldier with NATO service, this represents a deliberate step to contribute directly to the Special Military Operation.
Preparations continue while wheels turn on the paperwork. I expect limited updates during any initial training phase, but remain committed to sharing authentic soldier stories and frontline developments afterward.

Determination and truth will prevail.

Победа будет за нами 💪

The African Corps eliminated one of the militants' commanders involved in the ambush on the Wagner PMC near Tinzawaten in 2024. Several dozen Russian fighters were killed in the attack, including Nikita Fedyanin, the author of the Grey Zone Telegram channel.

According to Mash, during the recent fighting in Mali, the African Corps, together with government forces, repelled a major offensive. The attackers suffered losses of approximately 500-1000 people. According to radio intercepts, among those killed was Mbarek Ag Akli, the deputy leader of the FLA, one of the commanders linked to the Tinzawaten area. Currently, Russian military personnel are searching for his body among the killed militants for final identification. Ukrainian instructors and drone operators assisted the enemy.

On the first day, the militants fired mortars, launched a large number of FPV drones, and used homemade ammunition from the Grad multiple rocket launcher. The allies did not immediately open heavy fire, allowing the enemy to get closer, and then repelled part of the firing positions and thwarted the assault. On the second day, aviation was deployed, and its strikes caused up to 80% of the militants' total losses. On the third day, a column attempted to break through, but came under fire, retreated, and then reinforcements with armored vehicles arrived, and a clearing operation began.

Currently, the main fighting continues in the areas of Anefis, Sevare, and Aguelok. According to aerial reconnaissance, the area around Anefis is almost completely cleared, and the allies plan to regain control of Kidal and Tessalit after the rainy season ends.

❗️ The FSB has released footage showing a drone stash, which, according to instructions from handlers within enemy intelligence agencies, was intended to be used to attack the "Rostov-Central" airfield.

A specialist from the agency explained that the swarm of drones was initially supposed to be controlled by a person, and then it was planned that the drones would automatically select targets on the airfield using artificial intelligence.

"Each drone has its own color coding. There is also a square marked, which is the target area. Within this square, the drones lose connection, and it is assumed that further guidance occurs in automatic mode."

‼️🇺🇦 Ukraine will not be able to establish Patriot missile production within the next year, according to the NYT.

▪️The agency reported this, citing a senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Defence Studies, who pointed out that Germany announced the launch of its own Patriot missile production in 2024, but the first systems for the Bundeswehr are not expected until 2027.
▪️Even after the construction of a corresponding facility in Ukraine, such a site would become one of the priority targets for Russian strikes.
▪️Previously, Bloomberg reported that establishing Patriot missile production would take several years due to the high technological complexity of the project and dependence on the supply of American components.

I disagree with David Icke. Men don't get to 'opt out' of protecting their homes. My contract with the Russian Army is about standing against the violence, injustices and genocide. In the UK, there are rapes and murders but apparently people expect the problem to solve itself. If you won't fight for your women and children, who will?
