Ukraine's advance in the Kursk region is slowing down. This is expected because the element of surprise is now missing and Russia has begun to concentrate troops in these areas. Ukraine is gaining a foothold in these territories and Russia will now bomb its own cities in an 1/8
attempt to recapture the regions. Ukraine has transferred the war to Russian territory. Such events play a very important role in the morale of both Ukrainians and Russians. They just affect it differently. Russia's use of conscripts also causes indignation among their 2/8
mothers and reduces Putin's support from them as well. Although in Russia it is not the mood of the people that plays a role, but the mood in the army and special services. And Putin is cursed there. Ukraine is digging in and bringing up equipment, including long-range 3/8
artillery. A 203-MM Pion was spotted crossing the border with the Kursk region. Most likely, the pace of the offensive will slow down and Ukraine will try to advance along the border with Russia. For Ukraine, going to capture large cities does not make tactical sense and does 5/8
not save the lives of soldiers, but forcing the Russians to grind down their forces for another Russian village with a population of three grandmothers, while causing damage on their territory and getting hit in the head by FPV drones is a very real scenario. The exact number
6/8м
of Ukrainian reserves and how many troops were brought into Kursk is unknown. Ukraine's plans are also unknown. There are reports of a concentration of troops near the border with the Belgorod region. However, Russia is also making progress and they are approaching the border 7/8
of the city of Toretsk. In the New York area, the Russians are leveling the front. Apparently, Ukrainian forces are leaving the zone to avoid being surrounded. The fighting continues also in Vovchansk in Kharkiv region and near Kupiansk Russia has some advances. 8/8

Ukraine does not strike at random or hit arbitrary targets. Every operation is a well-planned step. Last year’s series of strikes on oil depots, the drone attacks on military electronics factories in recent months, and now—carriers of long-range missiles. The list doesn’t end 1/7
with the destruction of over 20 bombers. A fuel storage facility for those bombers was also hit in Engels, and for the first time, Ukraine successfully targets Russian Iskanders before launch. They are almost impossible to intercept and extremely deadly. The principle is 2/7
simple: kill the archer, not the arrows—because that archer continues to terrorize Ukraine’s civilian population. On the night of June 6, Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine using missiles and drones. According to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia launched 3/7
Putin responded decisively to the destruction of his air force’s aircraft—he called Trump and every possible politician in the EU. No red button—just whining that Ukraine is escalating the conflict and refusing negotiations. He also released a video accusing Ukraine of
1/12
terrorism, but notably did not mention the airfields; instead, he commented on the collapse of bridges, a story mostly overshadowed by the far more significant events. He claimed it was Ukraine that has no intention of pursuing peace talks. This narrative has been ongoing
2/12
for several months and is aimed entirely at the West, because it works—especially with Trump’s administration, which continues to delay the implementation of new sanctions. This entire propaganda show will continue as long as it remains effective. One of the most recent

Anyone claiming that Russia will now deliver a powerful retaliatory strike is likely on the Kremlin's payroll. It's been three days since Ukraine's brilliant operation, and Russia's only response has been a long-range rocket attack on Sumy. I mentioned this in my previous
1/20
article, but I’ll repeat it—Russia has nothing left with which to respond. It has already thrown everything it has into the war against Ukraine. According to different sources, destroyed Russian bombers had been preparing for a new massive missile strike on civilian
2/20
cities, which was supposed to be the largest of the war. Ukraine is not escalating—it is defending itself. And there's nowhere left to escalate to. Russia has no hidden secret power, as its propaganda constantly claims. Nuclear weapons? Those too are mostly a product of
3/20
With its strike on Russia’s strategic aviation, Ukraine has shown the world that Russia’s nuclear forces—so feared in the West—can and should be destroyed. Pro-Russian commentators rushed to write about an inevitable retaliatory strike, even a nuclear one, but do you know 1/8
how Russia will really respond? It won’t. It will swallow its shame and send yet another wave of drones and missiles at peaceful Ukrainian cities. But it was doing that even before Operation “Spider Web.” Russia is already using everything it has against Ukraine and has no 2/8
secret stockpiles. It was already launching massive strikes whenever it managed to accumulate enough missiles in storage. Only now it will be even harder to carry out such attacks, because the Tu-95 bombers were the main carriers of long-range missiles like the Kh-101. 3/8
The uproar over a Ukrainian drone striking a sitting Russian soldier once again highlights how active the Kremlin’s influence network is—and how powerful its reach remains online. In the face of Russia’s ongoing daily war crimes, it's strange that this is even being debated.

Yet Kremlin agents are working tirelessly, and the rest of the sane internet is forced to explain why this wasn't a war crime. Everything happening on Ukrainian territory has one root cause: Russia’s invasion. Russia could pull out its troops and it would all stop. This
2/14
information campaign has a clear purpose: to create noise, distract from Russia’s domestic problems, and most importantly—to once again influence Trump and his administration, trying to convince them that Ukraine is the true aggressor while Russia “wants peace” and is only

Russia is not limiting itself to cyberattacks and acts of sabotage on EU territory—it is preparing a "Crimea scenario" in Europe. Aivo Peterson and Dmitry Rootsi, both accused of treason, began forming a civil defense unit in 2022 with the support of the Koos movement. 1/7
In the event of a crisis, this unit was intended to assume the functions of the armed forces. The organization and recruitment efforts were overseen by Russian military intelligence (GRU). In communications with associates presented by the prosecution in court, Peterson 2/7
emphasized that the group's goal was to “ensure security and perform the functions of the army” in the event of a “power vacuum.” Despite Peterson’s public claims about the humanitarian nature of the project, the prosecution views his actions as an attempt to create an 3/7
