🇷🇺State Duma deputies will not attend the Victory Parade

For Putin's safety, it was decided to limit people's access to Red Square as much as possible. Previously, deputies always attended the parades — reports Russian "Ostorozno Media".

There's gonna be literally nothing to indicate that there was a parade in Moscow on that day is there - they'll close one street and show footage of last year's parade

let me scan you saar

No further territorial changes in Mali today besides the ones early in the morning

Extremely suspicious calm everywhere.

FAMa was busy with the ceremony for Camara today and otherwise seems to be trying to dig in for now. Curfews in major cities like Bamako with FAMa patrolling the streets.

FLA is likely busy bringing troops south from Kidal.

JNIM did make some advances earlier today as mentioned but besides that nothing much, their "blockade" of Bamako is semi working as many drivers are afraid to use the major roads into/out of Bamako

IS-SP/GS is dead silent besides internal radio communications surrounding Menaka as also previously mentioned.

Russians allegedly had 5 military cargo planes land at Bamako today however it's not confirmed

Seems to be the quiet before the storm for everyone, with JNIM and FLA preparing for further offensives and FAMa digging in for now

Something pretty interesting noted by a very good source on the region

JNIMS HTS-ification is seemingly proceeding externally, even though internally none can be noted so far

🇷🇺
Only 4 international "leaders" agreed to come to Moscow to attend the Victory day "parade".

🇰🇿🇰🇬🇸🇰
Those are Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and the mighty Slovakia.

The Junta seems to have found a psychological cheat code with some rebel formations

In the case of PDF units and now also the Chin forces they prefer to let the town fall into junta hands rather than let it get completely obliterated by airstrikes just for the sake of holding a town

During the renewed junta offensives time after time rebel forces withdrew from the urban areas due to an unwillingness to sacrifice the continued existence of said town just for some PR.

They withdraw outside the town regroup and then see what they do next, with the Junta itself regaining control over their precious towns.

This does not apply to all rebel formations however as the KIA, one of the oldest in the country, and the AA, which was mentored by the KIA, have shown a willingness to allow the junta to turn a town into Stalingrad destruction wise just to take it.

🇲🇱🇷🇺 - Africa Corps and FAMa allegedly have now fully left Tessalit in northern Mali with the FLA seizing full control over the base and town

Not yet supported by any photo or video evidence so it remains allegedly for now

🇲🇱 - AFP reports that several drivers who ignored JNIM's blockade orders for Bamako were killed on Tuesday on the Bamako-Sikkaso road

JNIM seemingly does possess the ability to enforce their blockade in parts and it's not just a fully fear based blockade

⚡️🇲🇲 NYT: Myanmar’s military junta has announced it will allow ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi to serve the remaining 18 years of her prison sentence in a “designated residence”, citing “humanitarian concerns” and its own “benevolence”.

The regime released a rare photo of her on state television.

Her son, Kim Aris, said she remains a hostage cut off from the world.

Human rights groups called the move a public relations manoeuvre to win international favour. The junta has held more than 22,000 political prisoners since the 2021 coup.
