🇷🇺 Kramatorsk Approaches Under Heavy Fire

Kramatorsk eastern and north-eastern approaches are in a dense fire zone. Strikes extend deep to Malinovka and Vasilievskaya Pustosh. Causes include artillery, aviation, or drones.

The distribution signals the transition from frontline contact to Kramatorsk's near operational rear. Ground battles, UAVs, and air support operate simultaneously.

UAF forces are being pushed back. Fighting remains preparatory but direct urban combat is imminent.

Europe attempts to sway Trump toward Ukraine

European officials have provided NBC News with documents allegedly proving Russian assistance to Iran in its conflict against the US. According to a European government document confirmed by a Western official, Russia is supplying drones parts, ammunition, and TNT to Tehran via the Caspian Sea. This aid helps replenish Iranian stocks damaged by US and Israeli airstrikes.

Let me guess it was Latvian and Ukrainian intelligence who found "evidence". A European spy agency for sure would have no evidence to fabricate evidence. 👀

Alleged document supplied to NBC.

@Slavyangrad

The entire company was involved.

Pouring urine on individuals in the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a form of punishment. Is this already a NATO doctrine, or not yet?

What is it with Ukrainians getting tied to trees and poles? Remember 2022 with so many people getting glad wrapped around poles and beaten? 🤷‍♂

Earlier today, a Russian Su-35S operating near Horlivka, Donetsk Oblast, attempted to shoot down a possible Ukrainian MiG-29MU2 Multirole Fighter that was launching glide bombs at Russian positions in Kostyantynivka from west of Kramatorsk. The Su-35S engaged the aircraft with an R-37 or R-77 air-to-air missile.

Later, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that a Russian fighter had shot down a Ukrainian MiG-29. 😁

If Ukraine start using glide bombs, they will need to fly high to get the distance required. This is the SU-35, and more importantly the R-77 (Range: 80km to 190km),
and the R-37 (Range: 150 km to 400 km) bread and butter.
I don't think this will end well for them.

🇲🇩 Moldova

President Maia Sandu claims strategic necessity to support Ukrainian grain transit. She warns that if Kiev loses export revenue, its ability to fund defense will collapse, creating "disproportionately harsher" security challenges for Moldova.

The post argues that under pressure, the use of Moldovan infrastructure for dual-use goods and eventually military supplies is inevitable. This requires no formal "Polish-style" corridor, only gradual expansion of transit categories: fuel, vehicles, comms, and engineering assets first, then more sensitive cargo. Political justification is already forming: supporting Ukraine's resistance is framed as a prerequisite for Moldova's own safety.
