Occupiers abandon positions en masse in Kherson Oblast – Partisan movement Artesh, UA media
Russian forces from the 205th Motorized Rifle Brigade are experiencing mass desertions on the Dnipro River front in Kherson Oblast 1/
The desertions are caused by commander "arbitrariness" including group beatings, threats, continuous duty, and unpaid wages. Soldiers are attempting to seek help through human rights organizations via their families, but without success 2/
Over a thousand soldiers have deserted. The deserters include a mix of contract soldiers, mobilized personnel, and conscripts, according to a command list obtained by journalists 3X
The Syrian forces’ spectacular collapse in Aleppo shows exactly how Russia will fall one day
Ukrainian Kharkiv offensive in 2022, Kursk offensive in 2024, and Prigozhin offensive in 2023 prove a pattern 1/
A surprise attack freezes Russian command. Everyone looks up to Putin for orders, while also hedging for a different political future. So, there is delay, sabotage, and lack of leadership throughout the entire system 2/
Two conditions must occur for Russia collapse. The military and law enforcement must be stretched and have no reserves. The challenge must be credible 3/

Daria Pasynoha, a Business Economics student at KSE, comes from Poltava, a city in eastern Ukraine, just 200 kilometers from the front line. At KSE, she studies market systems, economic policies, business strategies, and how to make better decisions using data.
Daria dreams of working on reforms that help small and medium-sized businesses grow and succeed. She believes these businesses are key to Ukraine’s economic stability, especially now, during wartime.
Her goal is to create an environment where businesses can thrive — one that is transparent, innovative, and easy to navigate, without unnecessary barriers from the government 2/
In 2024, KSE University expanded to 16 degree programs, including Micro and Nano Engineering, increased enrollment to 1,100 students—a threefold growth in three years, and grew the faculty to 117 members to support new programs 3/
With today’s mass arrests in Georgia, the parallels with Ukraine’s 2014 uprising are striking. In both cases, the people’s aspirations to join Europe are crushed by a pro-Russian leader who abruptly abandons negotiations for EU integration
But there is a puzzle 1/
Why make it public? Why do pro-Russia governments announce they’re ditching the EU? They could just slow it down, stall for years, and quietly kill it. Look at Turkey—that’s how it’s done 2/
Instead, they make a brazen announcement, effectively telling their people: “Your democracy is over; this is Russia now.” This move guarantees to provoke a fight, and present an opportunity to crush the protests. But the people will resist, and a revolution is inevitable 3/
In Astana, Putin brags about Russia’s weapons being bigger and better than anything the West has and threatens to bomb Ukraine out of existence. He says he is making more missiles than NATO and his "Oreshnik" is unbeatable
This isn't crazy, but strategic intimidation 1/
Putin: Russia makes ten times more missiles than all of NATO combined, and next year, production will grow another 25-30%
Translation: I will drive my economy to the ground, the way the USSR did it 2/
Putin: The "Oreshnik" hypersonic weapon is unmatched worldwide, with deadly precision and devastating power. Its strike temperature reaches 4,000 degrees., turning everything in the blast zone into dust. 3/
Biden wants to be remembered for his actions on Ukraine and Israel. Yet, on Ukraine, in 2022, he had a chance to stop the war but hesitated. By managing fictional Russian red lines, Biden allowed the war to entrench and escalate
Now, his final steps are too little too late: 1/
His request for support is nothing but a symbolic gesture. Will it get through? We remember how well went the last time 2/
Biden reversed policies on land mines and long-range missiles. Great. But there very few of those ATACAMS to make a difference and Russia had plenty of advanced warning to move vulnerable assets 3/
