Zelenskyy: Russia is preparing another big attack with drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles.

People must be very careful and use shelters. The last massive strike had more than 600 Iranian Shaheds and around 90 missiles. 1/
Zelenskyy: Russia uses drone incidents toward Romania, Poland,

Moldova and the Baltics as political and military pressure on NATO. Putin is watching the reaction and testing the air defense of countries bordering Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. 2/
Zelenskyy: Anti-ballistic missiles are Ukraine’s biggest deficit.

Russia is increasing ballistic missile production, while U.S. production is not enough. Producing 60–65 missiles per month is nothing for today’s challenges and Russia knows it. 3/
Zelenskyy: I asked the previous U.S. administration and I am asking this one: give Ukraine licenses.

We will increase production of Patriot missiles. That would help Ukraine, the Middle East and everyone the United States decides to help. 4X

Ukraine's military intelligence says its strike drones now fly 3,500 km, far enough to reach every target in Russia up to the Urals and nearly to Krasnoyarsk in Siberia.

The previous record was 1,750 km, set in Feb 2026. The reach has doubled — 24 Channel. 1/ Image
That record came in Feb 2026, when Ukraine's SBU drones hit the Lukoil refinery in Komi, then the deepest strike of the war.

The new reach opens Siberian industry to the same drones already hitting Russia's western refineries. 2/
The Liutyi drone started this campaign. It was the first to fly past 1,000 km consistently, and it now reaches 1,500 to 1,700 km with a 50 to 70 kg warhead.

The newer Peklo flies like a missile, up to 1,000 km per hour. Moscow sits 800 km away, well inside its range. 3/

Zelenskyy: Lifting sanctions helps Russian soldiers and Russia’s defense industry.

Russians do not understand words or emotions; they see that as weakness. That is why we must be strong and put sanctions on them. 1/
Zelenskyy: Russia stole thousands of Ukrainian children. We know about 20,000 by name and have brought back only 2,200, around 10%.

Russia even proposed exchanging children for soldiers. That proves they stole the children. 2/
Zelenskyy: We have evidence Russia teaches kidnapped Ukrainian children to hate their own country, then pushes boys to the battlefield.

Imagine young Ukrainians being turned against Ukraine and sent to kill Ukrainians. We cannot lose time. 3/

Ukraine and Iran expose the same illusion: technology delivers a quick victory

The Economist: bridges and power plants are now standard targets in war planning. In 2022 US put 50-50 odds on Russia going nuclear if Ukraine broke through to Crimea. The red lines exist,but where?1/ Image
The Uppsala Conflict Data Programme counted 65 active state-based conflicts in 2025—the highest number since records began in 1946.

The Peace Research Institute Oslo calls the past four years the most violent period since the Cold War. 2/
Every day, Ukraine and Russia build thousands of FPV drones designed to hunt a single soldier, vehicle, or position.

The Economist estimates the war has killed or wounded 1.1–1.4 million Russian troops—about one in 25 Russian men under 50. 3/

Gordon Brown: a special tribunal, modelled on Nuremberg, will prosecute Putin's inner circle for the crime of aggression against Ukraine.

The Council of Europe and EU agreed on the mechanism this month. — The Guardian.

1/ Image
Why not the ICC: the ICC cannot prosecute Russia's leaders for the crime of aggression because Russia is not party to the Rome Statute, and Russia's UN Security Council veto blocks any referral.

The special tribunal fills that gap.

2/
The ICC has already issued arrest warrants for Putin, former defence minister Shoigu, and General Gerasimov — who masterminded the bombardment of Ukraine's infrastructure.

The new tribunal adds the crime of aggression itself to the charges.

Kasparov: Ukraine performed a historical miracle.

The coming funeral of the Russian Empire, which I believe is not far away, is the result of the heroism of the Ukrainian people and, yes, of Zelenskyy’s political leadership. 1/
Kasparov: This is not just Putin’s war. It is an imperial war, the logical continuation of Russian imperial history.

Without Ukraine there is no Russian Empire, and Putin understands that with his imperial sixth sense. 2/
Kasparov: Wars end only when the causes that created them are eliminated.

The cause here is Russia’s imperial structure. Until that structure is broken, the war will not truly end, because the empire will keep trying to return. 3/

Kasparov: Lavrov’s threat to foreign diplomats is not normal diplomacy. It shows Russia has problems and is trying to solve them with threats and bluff.

Bluff has always been Putin’s weapon: weak cards, higher stakes, and the hope that Europe’s hands will shake. 1/
Kasparov: Europe still cannot say the magic formula: Ukraine must win, Russia must lose.

Everyone understands it behind the scenes, but politically they still refuse to define the strategic goal of the war, so they keep maneuvering around the real issue. 2/
Kasparov: The real meaning of these “negotiations” is simple: sell part of Ukraine’s territory to buy Europe a pause.

That is the essence. Nothing else can really be negotiated while Putin’s goals remain unchanged and Russia still wants empire. 3/
