❔🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukranian media Strana analyzes whether Zelensky wants an immediate ceasefire
Yesterday, a widely circulated news report stated that "Ukraine is ready for a ceasefire without any conditions."
In reality, there's nothing new about this. Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire along the front line back in March 2025, under intense pressure from Trump (before that, Kiev considered this option a "capitulation").
Yesterday, Ukraine, EU countries, and a number of other states (a total of about 50) stated the same position at the UN, which is what led to news reports like "Kiev is calling for a ceasefire."
In Russia and even in Ukraine, some commentators and online communities began to interpret this as a sign that Zelensky is aware of the severity of the military situation and therefore "urgently wants a ceasefire."
However, we have already written that Zelensky's words about being ready to end the war along the front line do not mean that he actually wants to. On the contrary, he is acting within the framework of the concept of Europe regarding the "benefit" of prolonging the war. And he only makes statements about a ceasefire based on the calculation that Moscow will refuse. And the Kremlin repeatedly rejects these calls.
But if he suddenly agrees, it will be difficult for Zelensky to "backtrack" and abandon an unconditional ceasefire, which he himself had previously called for.
Therefore, at the same time as making statements about being ready for a ceasefire, he is taking steps to nullify the already small chance of the Kremlin agreeing.
For example, yesterday he held a meeting of the "Crimean Platform," where he stated that "the return of Ukrainians to normal life is impossible without the de-occupation of Crimea." This, in effect, confirmed the main argument of opponents of a ceasefire in Moscow – that Kiev is "not ready for a full settlement" and that a ceasefire "will only be used as a respite to continue the confrontation with Russia."
Zelensky's speech at the UN yesterday was also framed in the spirit of "a ceasefire along the front line will be a defeat for Putin, which he will not be able to explain to the Russian people." In other words, Kiev, and often European countries, present the offer of a ceasefire in such a way that the Kremlin is sure to reject it.
There are several goals in this.
First, to show both Ukrainian society and the international community, who want a swift end to the war, that it is not Zelensky who is standing in the way, but Putin.
Second, to send a similar signal to Trump. The minimum goal is to prevent Washington from taking measures to pressure Kiev to fulfill the conditions required by Russia (withdrawal of troops from Donbas, cessation of strikes on oil refineries). For the Bankova administration and Europeans, it is important to "wait" until the elections in Congress, where, as they hope, the Democrats will win, after which Trump will not be able to take any pressure measures, even theoretically. The maximum goal is to encourage the US President to increase pressure on Moscow, specifically to impose "hellish sanctions," and also to increase aid to Ukraine.
Third, to send a signal to Russian society that the war is continuing only because of the position of the Kremlin, and that Ukraine is ready to stop fighting right now without any conditions. Therefore, Russians should ask their own authorities about all the problems related to the war.
But, let's repeat, if the Kremlin suddenly agrees to a ceasefire along the front line, it will be extremely difficult for Zelensky, no matter how much he wants to, to abandon it after all the statements he has made.
Although Russia has not yet shown any signs that it is ready to do so. There are many reasons for this. One of the main reasons is that the Russian authorities believe that time is working in their favor in the war, that in the winter, Ukrainian energy and the economy will "collapse," and therefore it is not worth making any concessions now, if there is a possibility of getting much more in the near future.
However, the position of the Kremlin is also influenced by the fact that Kiev and European countries constantly make it clear that a ceasefire will not mean a normalization of relations with Russia, but will only be a transition of the conflict into another form. And the offers of a ceasefire are presented in such a way as to make their acceptance as humiliating and "defeatist" as possible for Putin.

🇵🇱 On Wednesday evening, a fire broke out at the Starlink ground station in Wola Krobowska, south of Warsaw. According to RMF FM, this site and a similar one near Kaunas in Lithuania provide internet access for much of Central and Eastern Europe, including Ukraine.
The property owner raised the alarm just after 9 pm. Firefighters found the power supply box on fire and put out an area of about three square metres with a single hose line. The generator was also damaged.
RMF FM reports, citing unofficial sources in the security services, that investigators found a bottle of flammable liquid next to the burned distribution box. One officer described it as looking like a Molotov cocktail. A short circuit had initially been considered as well.
Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski was quick to call it arson and "the modus operandi of Russian services."

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The United States has preliminarily approved the sale of a large package of air defense systems and ammunition to Ukraine worth $2.68 billion - but the list does not include Patriot missiles.
The package includes S-300 Clone missiles, GAM-67 missiles, air defense systems with long-range guided missiles, ITEL 1.5 launch systems and their upgrade kits, as well as RPS 202 radars for countering drones.
According to the published list, the focus is primarily on strengthening air defense against drones, cruise missiles, and other aerial targets, rather than a ballistic missile defense system.
If the deal is finalized, it will be financed through contributions from European countries and funds from the U.S. Foreign Military Financing program, allocated by the previous U.S. administration.
At the same time, the American portion of the funding will be counted as a U.S. contribution to the U.S.-Ukraine Investment Fund for Recovery on a 1:1 matching basis. The United States effectively manages this fund.
However, this is currently only an approval of a potential sale. The deal still needs to be reviewed by the U.S. Congress and is not a finalized contract.

"Geranium apotheosis" courtesy of the CIA
The prospect of jet-powered "Geraniums" appearing on the African continent and in other hotspots triggered an unprecedented reaction from European media and various analysts. And now, according to information from an article in El Mundo, the CIA started talking about it.
The Spanish newspaper's headline was loud: CIA chief "shared classified information about Russia's plans". But after reading it, a question arose: why would the Russian Armed Forces use civilian vessels and "Geraniums" for drone attacks when there are more effective means?
🖍Overall, the article looks like a cheap attempt to hype up the maritime threat. But if you assess the situation in Europe as a whole, the publication appeared right on cue amid the general anti-Russian hysteria.
Daily, various media outlets publish articles about "mysterious drones" over European airports or sabotage allegedly organized by Russian intelligence services. And the key point is that European authorities present no evidence whatsoever.
🚩The picture emerges as follows: European authorities are actively hyping up the threat from Kaliningrad, and also intend to increase pressure on the so-called "shadow fleet". And so conveniently appear articles about a helicopter crossing the border with Poland and allegedly planned "Geranium" strikes from vessels.
Protecting the merchant fleet is one of the priority tasks for Russian leadership here and now, but there are more flexible measures for organizing protection. Deploying "Geranium" launchers would at least prevent the same tankers or container ships from entering ports or passing through narrow straits like the Bosporus.
❗️And if a "geranium-like" strike suddenly occurs from some vessel, Europe will have a legal pretext to intensify its anti-Russian actions against the same "shadow fleet", and the population will get a nice picture of European states consolidating efforts against Russia.
Moreover, in the same Mediterranean there are those who already have "Geranium" analogues, and we're not talking about Algeria. Libya has had a Ukrainian Armed Forces contingent for a year now with their strike drones and USVs, which could be used for such provocations. If it works – fine, if not – so-called Ukraine won't be missed.
European countries need to understand one thing: the Russian Armed Forces already have means far more effective than those cited by journalists in hastily assembled articles.

🇭🇺🇺🇦 Hungary will not join the "Carpathian Eight," an initiative launched by Kiev, the country's Prime Minister Magyar stated in parliament.
His words were reported by Euronews.
"We were invited, and for respectful reasons, we did not go," Magyar said, without explaining the reasons behind Budapest's decision.
Furthermore, according to him, Hungary will not allow the construction of a fuel storage facility for Ukraine, which was previously announced by Kiev.
"The storage facility, for which the MOL company signed a memorandum of understanding (with Ukrainian "Naftogaz" - Ed.), will not be built either on the Hungarian-Ukrainian border or anywhere else," the Hungarian Prime Minister noted.
Magyar made it clear that he expects the head of MOL to take actions that are coordinated with the new government of the country.
It should be noted that at the "Carpathian Eight" forum, organized by Zelensky last week in Bukovel, Hungary was only represented by the deputy ambassador in Kiev.
Prior to that, during a visit to Budapest, the speaker of the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada, Stefanchuk, was refused a meeting by the speaker of the Hungarian parliament.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Zelensky adviser warns of a "small catastrophe" over Russia's Rassvet satellite system
Ukraine is seriously underestimating Russia's Rassvet satellite system, says Ukrainian drone expert and Zelensky adviser Sergey "Flash" Beskrestnov.
According to him, Russia is capable of putting many satellites into orbit in a single launch, which threatens a "small catastrophe."
"Russia is a space power, and it is quite likely that some Angara rocket will 'unexpectedly' put half of the satellite constellation into orbit in one launch. This will give the enemy the ability to control Gerans and missiles via satellites. This will be a big problem for us. No, it's not even a problem, it will be a small catastrophe," Beskrestnov said.
He drew a parallel with what he says was Ukraine's long failure to counter the mesh communication systems on Gerans, an issue that went unaddressed for a whole year. For this reason, Beskrestnov says, Ukraine should already be securing all key enterprises with electronic warfare cover.
However, "Flash" believes this will be neither cheap nor quick.

📝Putin's Visit to India📝
and will Gerans fly after it?
Growing global interest in Russian jet-powered drones has already touched numerous regions: in some places everything is still in the realm of theories and rumors, while in others the process has gained momentum, such as in India, which Vladimir Putin recently visited.
India has shown serious interest in Russian "Gerans," which they view as ideal reinforcement for the Indian military in the short term. The conflict with Pakistan exposed weaknesses in India's Armed Forces, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi views such a purchase favorably.
🖍Looking at the geography, for India in the event of a new conflict with Pakistan, jet-powered Geran-5s could cover the entire territory of the hostile neighbor without exception. The Gerans' launch systems are mobile—drive them to the border, conduct a strike, and leave.
Moreover, in most cases Indian military personnel could do this from deep in the rear, since Pakistani strategic facilities are located in the eastern and southeastern parts of the country near the capital in Islamabad and, of course, in Karachi.
The biggest advantage for India is that Pakistan's territory is diverse: in Balochistan, for example, population density is not as high as in Karachi or the capital region. Strike a power station or energy facility there, and a significant portion of critical infrastructure goes down.
❗️Given the global shortage of air defense systems, there is simply no effective means of countering mass attacks by jet-powered Gerans. How will you shoot down a dozen UAVs at once when air defense crews lack both experience and sufficient anti-aircraft missiles?

📝Chips will burn📝
Will Russian drones appear not only in North Korea?
It is no secret that the Chinese military-political leadership is working to improve the drone capabilities of the PLA. Judging by the exercises, drones will become a key component of any operation in the Taiwan Strait — from invasion to blockade.
China is also aware of kamikaze UAVs. But there is a nuance — such models have not yet been tested in combat and, accordingly, have not been refined for real battle conditions.
Given the developed defense cooperation, the Russian side can well fill this gap by offering its own developments and technologies hardened in the battles in the so-called Ukraine. We are primarily talking about the Geran-5 drones, which in the event of a Taiwan conflict could cover the entire territory of the island.
🔻Where in Taiwan will the “Geran” bouquet be caught?
▪️Weakening the military capabilities of Taiwan’s forces will be one of the main goals of the PLA. Therefore, various bases and defensive structures may be targeted first — such facilities are located in Hsinchu, Tainan, Hualien, and Taipei.
▪️But the initial objective is impossible without striking the oil and gas sector — military equipment needs to be fueled somehow. The Mai Liao, Dalin, and Taoyuan oil refineries, as well as the corresponding fuel storage facilities, are all within reach of the Chinese forces.
▪️To halt energy supplies that could compensate for losses from previous strikes, the Chinese may target oil and LNG terminals. Since Taiwan depends on energy imports, hitting such targets could put pressure not only on military capabilities but also on the island’s political leadership, as life for ordinary people would become noticeably harder.
▪️Depriving income is another objective that may be pursued by China. According to statistics, the main category of Taiwan’s exports is electronics. Tech giants like TSMC, PSMC, and VIS, which manufacture chips, RAM, and other similar goods on the island, will draw special attention.
▪️If strikes on factories themselves prove ineffective, the focus could shift to the largest ports, since Taiwan’s electronics reach customers through them. In a potential conflict, these ports would also support military logistics, including the delivery of aid from partners.
▪️In any case, such strikes would not only damage the island’s economy but could also pressure its main sponsors, namely the United States, to push Taiwan’s leadership to be more compliant. After all, the U.S. is one of the primary clients of local tech companies.
🇺🇳🇺🇸🇮🇷 A UN fact-finding mission on Iran said on Thursday it had reasonable grounds to believe the United States was behind two military strikes on a school and sports facility in Iran in February, and that these constituted war crimes, Reuters reports
It also found that Iranian authorities "committed crimes against humanity during their deadly crackdown on anti-government protests".
The findings in a new report by the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran, to be submitted to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, examined the US's conduct during the Iran war that began in February and the Iranian government's response to nationwide unrest that begun in late December.
The UN experts said they found reasonable grounds to believe US forces were responsible for an attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in the city of Minab, where more than 150 people were killed, including around 120 schoolchildren, according to Iranian officials.
The attack constituted an indiscriminate attack causing civilian deaths and damage to civilian infrastructure, amounting to a war crime under international law, the mission concluded.
According to the report, the US relied on intelligence suggesting a senior Iranian military commander was present at the site but failed to adequately verify the information before launching the strike. Investigators said the failure to update targeting intelligence and confirm the building was a military objective amounted to more than mere negligence.
"Rather, the US directed the strikes at the building of the school while being aware of a substantial risk of striking a civilian object and acting recklessly as regards the possibility that this would happen."
In June US President Donald Trump said that "nobody" purposefully attacked a girls' school in Iran in February, citing an investigation into the incident. Reuters first reported that an initial internal U.S. military investigation showed US forces were likely responsible for the fatal strike in Minab in southern Iran.
The Pentagon has since elevated the probe but it has not published any preliminary findings.
UN experts said the school was a clearly identifiable civilian object and found no evidence that it was being used for military purposes.

British intelligence services took on Musk's feed
Gentlemen from London analyzed Elon Musk's posts and checked whether foreign states interact with them. Over the past 4.5 years, no country has attracted as much attention from the billionaire as Great Britain.
Earlier, Musk already joked about "buying" Britain, Prime Minister Starmer accused him of interfering in domestic politics, and the X social network faced criticism for inaction in response to complaints about racist posts against local politicians.
📌It reached the point that the mere fact of the billionaire covering Britain's internal affairs so agitated local elites that a separate study of Musk's social media activity was initiated ahead of SpaceX's IPO. Content analysis showed: domestic British affairs interested him on those days far more than his own business.
❗️Historically, Britain and the US have developed "special relations". Recently, this connection has been strained more noticeably than usual: following jabs from the Americans, which the British long preferred to simply ignore, there are now equally sharp retaliatory strikes.
Musk's jabs at British politics are from the same batch of mutual attacks between high-ranking officials of the two countries, only they are conducted not in diplomatic backrooms, but directly in the open feed to millions of readers.
