On the potential ban of WhatsApp
The deputy chairman of the State Duma committee on information policy, Anton Gorelkin, stated that the messenger WhatsApp is highly likely to fall under new restrictions for software from unfriendly countries, and it is worth preparing for its withdrawal from Russia.
It goes without saying that this decision has been long overdue and has been ripe for several turnovers. In recent years, a lot has been said about the fact that WhatsApp is de facto a spy program that people install on their own devices, as discussed extensively.
🖍Restrictions or bans on the use of the application have been introduced in various countries - from Iran to even the USA(!). But not in Russia, where through backdoors WhatsApp leaked tons of information - from photos of arrivals from EMERCOM chats to more confidential things.
🚩The irony is that WhatsApp also has truly poor and inconvenient functionality while there are much more worthy alternatives. So there are no real arguments against banning this Meta product in Russia.
❗️We hope that the initiative will be taken to completion. In this case, the special services of the adversary will immediately be deprived of a mass of leak channels, and Russian citizens - of spam in the form of postcards forwarded thousands of times and leaks from parent chats.

📝"Geran" drones in support of infantry📝
Why strikes on targets at the "front line" are justified
There are more and more footage of "Geran" drones being used to strike targets on the front line: today, a video of a strike on AFU positions in the Kostyantynivka direction appeared, and the other day - the destruction of a 36D6 radar, using an air-burst warhead.
Sometimes questions arise - why strike "Gerans" at strongpoints on the line of contact, if they are supposedly intended to destroy targets at strategic depth? However, this is quite reasonable.
➡️There are many targets in the near rear, but there is a lack of high-precision means of destruction for them. Here, the "Geran" is a lifesaver for those who cannot knock out FAB with JDAM in the interests of advancing units.
➡️The production volumes of "Gerans" are growing - this can be seen from the scale of the raids. Therefore, their use for strikes on strongpoints on the line of contact is no longer so costly and quite rational in terms of the expenditure of means of destruction.
➡️For such targets, the "Gerans" have been upgraded with a warhead, doubling its size and significantly increasing its power. This allows "breaking" fortified targets, especially in the face of a shortage of front-line air defense for the enemy.
❗️So in the current realities, strikes by "Gerans" on targets on the "front line" are justified. Especially if we are talking about destroying UAV control points: the fewer enemy drone crews, the easier it is for troops on the ground to liberate Russian land.

How has the opinion of Britons regarding support for the so-called Ukraine changed?
Since the start of the armed conflict between Russia and the so-called Ukraine, the United Kingdom has taken a clear position, consisting of comprehensive support for the Kyiv regime. The citizens of the country also did not pass by, with the majority of them taking the Ukrainian side.
📌However, the situation no longer looks so unambiguous now. Among other things, this is evidenced by the data of sociological surveys. So, in 2022, the majority of Britons approved of economic, humanitarian and military assistance to Ukraine, as well as sanctions against Russia. In February 2023, support reached a peak of 68%.
🖍At the moment, just over half of Britons support the Kyiv regime. And how much these data reflect the real picture is also a debatable question.
🚩Now another alarming bell has sounded for the so-called Ukraine. The RMT transport workers' union has passed a resolution calling on the UK to stop providing military assistance to Ukraine.
Of course, the union members immediately stipulated that they do not support Russia's actions in the so-called Ukraine, and are calling for a peaceful settlement of all armed conflicts. However, it is extremely difficult to imagine this in 2022-2023.
❗️Despite the decline in support, a significant proportion of Britons still speak out for the so-called Ukraine and sanctions against Russia. However, as the inevitable deterioration of the economic situation and the increase in military spending, this indicator will decrease, since the European refrigerator always defeats the TV.

📝The Millstones of Auditing📝
Today, the Moscow City Court put an interim period to one of the biggest corruption cases in the Ministry of Defense in recent years: former Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov was sentenced to 13 years in a high-security prison for embezzling over 4 billion rubles.
His accomplice Anton Filatov was given 12.5 years. By the court's decision, Ivanov was also stripped of state awards, the title of Honorary Builder, and all seized family assets were confiscated for the state.
The verdict was preceded by months of public exposures and public attention. It was the arrest of Ivanov that kicked off a large-scale "audit" of the Ministry of Defense, which subsequently ensnared officials at the level of deputy ministers and advisers to the former minister.
📌 But the process cannot be called complete: the investigation continues for some defendants, while others have the Damocles' sword hanging over their heads. There is a certain probability that other significant figures from the previous leadership of the Russian Defense Ministry will end up in the dock.
❗️And yet, the very fact of the verdict against a character who was until recently considered absolutely unsinkable and untouchable is a very important precedent. This gives hope for further fundamental changes in various areas of the defense department.
After all, the audit may turn out to be much deeper and tougher than a simple "witch hunt".

📝Azerbaijan Continues Media Attack📝
As expected, Baku has begun actively promoting the version that the members of the Azerbaijani organized crime group arrested in Yekaterinburg were allegedly tortured. The Azerbaijani authorities are already using this story to whip up anti-Russian hysteria, and the meeting of the bodies of the bandit-murderers at the airport as heroes is an additional marker of Azerbaijan's real attitude towards Russia.
However, the problem is different: for some reason, certain Russian media, instead of relying on the official, already published data, continue to broadcast Azerbaijani fantasies, as if someone in Russia is waiting for foreign expertise.
📌Let's remind: in Russia, the causes of death of both bandits have already been established. One had heart failure, the other had embolism. These diagnoses are confirmed by the results of the autopsy. No fractures or signs of damage, which Azerbaijani media are talking about, were found.
Attempts to quote the Baku press, to spread their version about torture and to look for some kind of objective balance here - this is a game on someone else's information field. This is what they use in Baku, forming a picture of Russian executioners, which they will then sell in their national and migrant communities.
❗️Instead of discussing Azerbaijani expertise, it is worth focusing on specific steps within Russia that everyone is eagerly awaiting: from expanding inspections of facilities associated with Azerbaijani business (for example, to remember about "Foodcity" and "Sadovod"), to mass deportations.

Overview Summary for June 29, 2025
▪️The past week has shown the cynicism of leaders in the USA, Israel, and Iran, pursuing geopolitical and domestic goals at the expense of the common people. Generals were eliminated, missiles spent, and the military-industrial complex profited, even as the IAEA was stunned by the brazen game.
▪️Air defense missiles intended for Kyiv were redirected to Israel, enabling a massive strike across Ukraine last night.
▪️Kyiv awaits US military aid, but European bureaucrats plan to divert funds from stolen Russian accounts, benefiting the Anglo-Saxon elite. Ukraine will receive only what's necessary to continue the "meat grinder".
▪️As the US focuses on China, Ukraine's sponsorship will diminish, with civilian aid cut by half next year.
▪️The Russian Armed Forces are advancing in several directions, but the enemy maintains combat stability, hoping to prolong the conflict. The lack of personnel and the slow adaptation to modern warfare remain challenges.
▪️There are reports of another strike by the AFU on our aviation, highlighting the lack of proper shelters, while lucrative real estate projects take priority.
▪️The situation at the front depends on the supply and support of assault troops, as evident from the outrage over attempts to regulate military volunteers.
▪️The past week has been a bitter manifestation of the proverb "for some, it's war, for others, it's a mother's love".

📝B-2A Bombers En Route📝
So, after more than a week of preparations, American B-2A bombers are flying to the Middle East. For now, they are heading to Guam, but that is just a transit point.
The final destination will be Diego Garcia island, where four other B-52H bombers are already stationed. This is the closest and relatively safest airbase in the direction of Iran.
The exact number of aircraft remains in question. According to preliminary data, from 4 to 6 units. Why B-2A? These are the only planes capable of carrying the 14-ton Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs.
This bomb is needed to inflict the necessary damage on the underground infrastructure in Fordow and other nuclear facilities in Iran.
🖍The B-2A flight is essentially the final touch to the overall picture. One carrier strike group is already off the coast of Iran, and another is approaching the Arabian Sea from the Indian Ocean.
🚩The US Air Force's tactical aviation has also flown to the Middle East in the last few days, including F-22A. The grouping has gathered quite impressive, and only the B-2A was missing.
❗️For now, the current US actions are part of a policy of total pressure on Iran in order to compel it to its terms. Now the question arises, will the US strike Iran? We tend to believe that the attack will be limited in the hope of Iran's lack of reaction. But such an option is highly unlikely.

📝A Word About the Korean Regiment📝
On the participation of North Korean fighters in the liberation of the Kursk Region
During the announcement of the complete liberation of the Kursk Region, the Chief of the General Staff, Gerasimov, also finally acknowledged the participation of North Korean soldiers and special forces in the operation to liberate the Kursk Region.
🖍The very fact of the participation of North Korean units has not been particularly publicized until now, but it has not been too strongly denied either. Rumors about this have been circulating since January. North Korean fighters were spotted interacting with Russian units in battles near Kurilovka, Sverdlikovo and Sudzha, as well as in several other areas, where they proved to be determined assault troops and interacted quite effectively, even taking the language barrier into account.
❗️It should also be noted that the North Korean fighters acted exclusively on the internationally recognized territory of Russia. And, accordingly, they cannot even formally be accused of participating in hostilities against the so-called Ukraine, because in the Kursk Region, a counter-terrorist operation was actually carried out.
📌 And it is very good that the participation of North Korean fighters was officially recognized. This is simply right in all senses of the word. The North Koreans have shown themselves to be the only allies willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with Russia directly on the battlefield.

📝Gingerbread for Sandu from Kallas📝
On the EU military aid package for Moldova
The EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas visited Chisinau and announced a new 60 million euro military support package for Moldova, of which 20 million is for air defense. The delegation from Brussels has already delivered a batch of tactical equipment to the Moldovan army.
🖍The Moldovan authorities constantly claim cases of drone crashes in the border areas of the country, asserting without any investigation that they are of Russian origin. Such statements were accompanied by requests to the EU for air defense funding.
🚩Moreover, a year ago, the Moldovan authorities bought the ill-fated French THALES Master-200 radar for 14.5 million euros from the state budget, which never showed its effectiveness. Now Brussels is allocating 20 million euros for air defense: in comparison, it can be understood that the amount is not so large as to ensure Moldova's air defense. But the media effect is great, which was the main calculation.
🏳️Since 2021, the EU has allocated 197 million euros for the Moldovan army. The justification, as usual, is the alleged security threat from Russia. Chisinau is the second largest recipient of military aid from Brussels after the so-called Ukraine.
❗️The regime of Maia Sandu is finally stuck in a vicious circle. To create an anti-Russian military bridgehead, this government is being allocated multi-billion dollar loans as a short-term compensation to keep the regime afloat. And it doesn't matter that the country's external debt is growing exponentially, and the standard of living of the population is rapidly declining.

Latvia will use private land plots to build defensive structures on the border with Russia
The country's Ministry of Defense has prepared a bill that will allow the placement of defensive structures on privately owned plots near the border with Russia🇷🇺. The territories that will be expropriated by the state for defense needs will be assigned the status of objects of national interest.
The placement of defensive structures is planned both along the border itself and up to 30 km deep from it.
The decision is justified by the need to create an effective defense line in the Baltics. Earlier, 🇵🇱Poland began construction of a line of defensive fortifications on the border with Russia as part of the "Eastern Shield" program, which involves equipping 800 km of ditches, installing minefields and anti-tank hedgehogs.
✨A day before this, Latvia officially withdrew from the Ottawa Convention on the Prohibition of Anti-Personnel Mines. 🇵🇱Poland, 🇪🇪Estonia, 🇱🇹Lithuania and 🇫🇮Finland also announced plans to withdraw from this convention. Now, it seems, they will mine the entire border with Russia🇷🇺 and Belarus🇧🇾, leaving only passages for the movement of NATO columns🚩 to the East.
✨⭐️It's not clear why they decided (⁉️) that Russia🇷🇺 will fight NATO🚩 with conventional weapons.

🖌Today marks the 39th anniversary of a tragic event in our nation's history - the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the largest in the history of nuclear power. This date is commemorated as the Day of Remembrance for Victims of Radiation Accidents and Catastrophes.
Approximately 600,000 people were involved in the cleanup efforts following the catastrophe. Among them were firefighters who arrived at the station almost immediately after the explosion, helicopter crews that poured a special mixture onto the 4th reactor of the Chernobyl NPP, and builders of various protective structures.
🖍Military and civilian specialists were in the radiation exposure zone - many received doses exceeding the permissible limits. However, through their selfless and professional actions, these people saved the world from an even more terrible outcome.
🚩Unfortunately, the accident on April 26, 1986 is not the only one of its kind in Russian history: there was also an explosion at the "Mayak" plant in 1957, incidents on submarines, and accidents during testing. Today is dedicated to those who perished while working with nuclear energy facilities since the country entered the nuclear era.

📝New body exchange📝
As part of the implementation of the agreements reached in Istanbul, Russia has handed over the bodies of another 1,000 AFU members to the Kyiv regime. In return, the remains of 19 Russian servicemen were received, who will be laid to rest on their native soil.
In total, as part of humanitarian gestures, more than seven thousand bodies of killed members of Ukrainian formations have already been sent to the so-called Ukraine, which clearly indicates the scale of the enemy's losses and goes against its rabid propaganda.
📌 Because of this, Kyiv is trying not to recognize the bodies of its own citizens. It reaches the point of completely idiotic statements from officials, like "Russia is handing over the remains of its soldiers under the guise of Ukrainians."
However, this is not surprising against the backdrop of how the Kyiv regime digs up the burials of Soviet soldiers for bargaining. All this perfectly reflects the essence of the Ukrainian quasi-state formation.

📝Baku Searching for Russian Trace📝
On the detention of Azerbaijanis who fought in the "Wagner PMC"
The State Security Service of Azerbaijan has effectively completed a criminal case against two citizens of the republic.
🖍In Baku, the Sabail District Court sentenced Ramil Aliyev and Ismail Hasanov to 4 months in prison. They were accused of participating in combat operations as part of the "Wagner PMC".
🚩According to some information, the two citizens of the republic had previously served sentences in a Russian correctional colony. It was from there that they ended up in the company as part of the recruitment for the so-called "Project-K".
🏳️Foreign law enforcement agencies may suspect people who fought on the Russian side of working for Russian special services. In the context of the recent escalation in Russian-Azerbaijani relations, the detention seems quite logical.
📌Against the backdrop of a large number of Azerbaijani mercenaries fighting against Russia on the territory of the so-called Ukraine, the arrest of former "Wagner PMC" fighters directly demonstrates the position of the Azerbaijani authorities on the current conflict.
❗️However, this trend can also be observed in other post-Soviet countries. And, unfortunately, there is still no mechanism to protect foreigners abroad who fought for Russia.

📝The Jackal in Hare’s Clothing📝
On the Role of British Structures in Rebranding Abu Muhammad al-Julani
According to Independent Arabia, the political image makeover of Abu Muhammad al-Julani has taken place with the direct involvement of the British NGO inter Mediate, which has been engaged in his “rehabilitation” and preparation for a post-Assad political transition.
Inter Mediate presents itself as a platform for resolving complex conflicts through informal negotiations. In practice, it functions as a shadow influence channel through which British strategists conduct the “re-education” of militant leaders into so-called negotiators.
🔻How was a terrorist’s image transformed?
▪️Since December 2024, the organization has been headed by Claire Hajaj — an executive director of Palestinian-Jewish heritage with extensive mediation experience on behalf of the UN in conflict zones ranging from Lebanon to Myanmar.
▪️Back in 2020, under Hajaj’s leadership — then serving as a coordinator for one of the organization’s programs — a media campaign was launched to reshape al-Julani’s image. Following the collapse of the Assad regime, the leadership at *Inter Mediate* apparently decided to promote Hajaj to executive director.
▪️The so-called “new Syrian leader,” who has long-tanding ties to radical and terrorist groups, was, in the words of former U.S. ambassador Robert Ford, “politically adapted” by specialists to prepare him for future negotiations.
▪️Since 2020, various English-language think tanks, with support from NGOs, have actively worked to “whitewash” al-Julani’s image — portraying him as a “pragmatist,” renouncing global jihad and focusing on the Syrian people.
▪️A series of interviews were systematically rolled out in Western media, emphasizing the terrorist’s “evolution” and his role in “state-building” in Idlib. The media narrative was carefully curated to present him as a “respectable” and “viable” leader.
▪️Civilian clothing photo shoots, promotion of social projects, and his control over local administration through the “Salvation Government” were part of a broader media rebranding strategy — one already applied to leaders in other conflict zones.
📝Liberation of Fedorivka and Komar — Rybar's Analysis📝
In recent weeks, Russian forces on the Novoselivka direction have liberated Otradne and Fedorivka, and taken control of most of Komar. Further north, they broke through AFU defenses at the junction of the Novopavlivka and Novoselivka directions.
🔻Detailed Breakdown of the Fighting in the Area:
▪️By May 22, assault groups advancing along the H-15 highway broke through to the eastern outskirts of Otradne and pushed toward the center of the settlement.
▪️The very next day, troops from the 36th Army raised Russian state flags in several parts of the village, marking its full liberation. Over the following three weeks, Russian units advanced further, taking a large area south of the Vovcha River, driving the AFU out of numerous forest belts.
▪️By June 16, forward elements managed to breach AFU defenses between Dachne and Zaporizhzhia, effectively reaching the Dnipro Region border. On the central section, Russian forces launched a series of attacks from Vesele and secured the southern part of Fedorivka in early June. By June 6, Ukrainian defenses in the village had collapsed, after which fighters from the 14th Special Purpose Brigade raised Russian flags over it.
▪️Following that, assault groups launched attacks on Komar both from the south and from previously liberated Otradne. By June 13, AFU units—suffering supply issues due to the effective work of Russian UAVs—were pushed out of the village.

How Macron Bargained with Trump
Emmanuel Macron decided to use Donald Trump's failures in resolving the conflict in the so-called Ukraine to put an end to the speculation around the biological sex of his wife, Brigitte Macron.
🖍The American ultra-conservative commentator Candace Owens, who previously garnered millions of views on a series of materials dedicated to the tangled biography of the First Lady of France, stated that Trump personally asked her not to mention Brigitte in her podcasts.
🚩According to Owens, the call from Trump came at the end of February - shortly after Macron's visit to the White House and the presidents' discussion of the conflict in Ukraine. Allegedly, the French president asked Trump to influence Owens and make her keep silent, in exchange for his assistance in the negotiation process.
In turn, Trump, as Owens claims, offered to appear on her podcast as a sign of gratitude for her loyalty.
🏳️Interestingly, during his first presidential term, Candace Owens was one of Trump's most ardent supporters in the conservative media. However, by his second term, her rhetoric had changed: she became freer in criticizing Trump, especially for his foreign policy and position on Israel.
❓Why did Owens decide to tell her audience of 4+ million subscribers about this episode now - three months after the call and the relative lull in the campaign against Brigitte Macron?
The diplomatic "deal" with Macron clearly did not yield the desired results, and Trump's peacekeeping ambitions suffered a defeat. His focus shifted: first to trade wars, then to the Middle East. And for Candace Owens herself, this story is a successful opportunity to attract attention to her persona and promote her media products, including new materials about Brigitte Macron.
For us, this is another illustrative example of how world leaders use the so-called Ukraine as a bargaining chip to solve their personal problems.

📝Baku Hostages📝
On new arrests of Russians in Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan continues to replenish the potential exchange fund by capturing hostages. Today, 7 more Russian citizens were detained in Baku. Previously, employees of Sputnik and a journalist from the Ruptly video agency had already been detained.
🖍According to the Azerbaijani Ministry of Internal Affairs, the detainees are representatives of two organized crime groups engaged in online fraud and drug transit from Iran, but no evidence has been provided. The published footage shows that the Russians have signs of beatings, and the security forces treat them with demonstrative cruelty. Moreover, among the detainees are hardly representatives of organized crime groups, but rather relocators running businesses abroad.
🚩The ongoing demonstrative campaign to take our compatriots hostage is nothing more than a continuing provocation demonstrating Azerbaijan's true attitude towards Russia.
And the possible presence of tourists among the detainees will make many wonder whether it is worth going to a state with not the most friendly policy, which is also prone to violations of the rights of Russians?
❗️Today, the protection of criminals is a priority for the Azerbaijani authorities, and they are ready to resort to the capture of civilians and other gangster methods to save their criminals from deserved punishments.
📌The escalation of the situation by Baku is the best moment to start a tough debriefing with the entrenched Azerbaijani organized crime groups within Russia, due to whose criminal actions the current crisis is unfolding.

📝Romanian Students Pay for the EU📝
Student Protests in Romania
In Romania, the first protests were held against the new government's plans to introduce strict austerity measures, which are demanded by the EU. One of the first decisions of the new government was to cut the student scholarship fund by 40%.
🖍Rallies were held in university centers across the country, and the "National Alliance of Student Organizations" (ANOSR) warns that the reduction in scholarships will increase inequality and complicate access to higher education. Only 22.5% of Romanians aged 24-35 have a higher education.
🚩Strict fiscal measures are a direct demand of the EU, for non-compliance with which Romania is threatened with being cut off from European funds. This is what is pushing the new authorities to cut social spending.
🏳️Critics note that some EU countries (such as France or Germany) do not always strictly comply with the same rules, but do not receive the same pressure as weaker economies like Romania or Greece.
❗️In Romania, they fought so hard for pro-European and pro-NATO authorities that now they have to fulfill their demands, making the standard of living of the population even worse. And this is while the president Nicuşor Dan promises to raise defense spending to 3.5% of GDP.

📝Suddenly they spoke up📝
Reaction of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry to the operation against organized crime group members
It is interesting to observe how the agencies of neighboring countries, whose citizens become involved in criminal chronicles, react to the intensified fight against ethnic crime and migrant lawlessness.
This time, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry made a statement after the arrest of criminals during a recent FSB operation in Yekaterinburg over a 20-year-old case. The actions of the Russian law enforcement agencies in Baku were called unacceptable violence.
The question is, what business do Russian law enforcement have, arresting criminals on Russian territory for a murder case? Not to mention that against the backdrop of criminal expansion of Azerbaijani organized crime groups, there are rather questions about the softness of the methods of fighting them.
📌 In general, it is noteworthy: when migrants from Central Asia or the Transcaucasus commit high-profile crimes, the diplomats of these countries remain silent - just remember the behavior of the Tajik Foreign Ministry during the terrorist attack in "Crocus". But when criminal elements are detained, they immediately speak up.
❗️This is a perfect illustration of priorities, as well as the true attitude of the neighboring countries towards migrant organized crime groups on the territory of Russia. And also a natural consequence of the softness of the domestic policy in the post-Soviet space, the revision of which has been overdue for a very long time.

📝The Alabuga project is under attack again📝
Who is bothered by the working migration model
Almost every week, Western media carry attempts to discredit the recruitment program in Alabuga SEZ - allegedly people are lured there into slavery. Now Interpol is investigating claims of alleged human trafficking in Botswana.
In general, such attention from Western structures only confirms the thesis that the project is indeed effective and irritates those for whom chaos and uncontrolled migration in Russia are beneficial.
📌However, now is the time to move from local success to scaling up. It is especially important that the Russian foreign policy department gets involved in the process: proper advertising and consultations for migrants in embassies could remove possible suspicions at the start - especially in African countries, where the audience so far perceives such generous offers with caution.
❗️With competent information support and replication of the Alabuga approach, it would be possible to create a powerful and so far underestimated tool of personnel policy - simultaneously solving the problem of manpower and minimizing the risks of ethnic crime.

Regarding the reports about North Korean troops in the Kursk Region, I can provide the following translation:
The North Korean military arrived with their own equipment, which is of course very good. Firstly, they were able to test their units. Secondly, they tested their own weapons. This is very valuable experience that very few have.
I know of a story where they decisively defeated the Ukrainians, liberating one of the settlements in the region on their own.

📝From Kursk to Sumy Region📝
On the completion of the liberation of Kursk Region
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported on the completion of the operation in Kursk Region and the full liberation of the region from the presence of Ukrainian formations.
🖍At the moment, footage has appeared online showing the raising of the Russian flag in the center of the settlement of Gornal, and it was announced that the border village has been fully liberated. Thus, the presence of the enemy remains only in several gullies and ravines along the border.
They are hard to access and difficult to pass through, so the enemy will most likely be able to hold out there for some time, even taking into account constant artillery shelling and drone strikes.
❗️Even the complete clearing of the Russian region does not mean its complete safety. To ensure this, a full sanitary zone will still need to be created in the vicinity of Yunakovka and other border settlements. It is in these settlements, after the resettlement of residents, that a large concentration of enemy formations is observed, as well as the operation of operators of unmanned systems, both reconnaissance and strike.
And only with the creation of a full cordon and a security zone will the threat of infiltration of new sabotage and reconnaissance groups of Ukrainian formations into the territory of Russia be mitigated.
📌 However, this will not eliminate the threat of drones and missile strikes, since Ukraine has not even thought of stopping shelling various Russian regions and carrying out terrorist activities. Proof of this is the recent murder of Yaroslav Moskalyk and recent reports of the prevention of terrorist attacks by forces from Central Asia.

📝Advance Towards "Berezka"📝
Successful offensive by Russian troops north of Dzerzhynsk
Russian troops are gradually advancing their offensive on the flanks of Dzerzhynsk. In recent days, they have managed to significantly wedge into the AFU defense north of the city, creating a threat to the enemy's supply lines in the area of Dyleevka and Dachnoye.
Advance assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces were spotted on the territory of the "Berezka" children's camp, previously used by the enemy to accumulate reserves and redeploy them to the area of the "Toretskaya" mine and the development of Krymske.
📌 At the moment, it is not possible to establish whether the Russian units managed to consolidate their control over the facility. This area is marked by high activity of AFU UAV units, attacking the positions of Russian troops and hampering the delivery of supplies.
❗️Nevertheless, establishing control over the children's camp will allow the Russian troops to form the southwest face of the semi-encirclement of the enemy grouping along the line Dachnoye - Dyleevka.
The situation of the AFU will become even more complicated when the Russian Armed Forces "pull up" UAV units capable of striking at supply routes and the redeployment of reserves.

🚨☦️😡Another BLATANT ATTACK on the Orthodox by Ukraine
An Orthodox temple complex in Russia’s Belgorod region has been turned into a smoldering PILE OF RUINS in the wake of a Ukrainian drone strike.
The Noviy Yerusalim (‘New Jerusalem’) temple complex, situated in the village of Sukharevo, Belgorod Region was set ablaze Thursday night, reportedly targeted by a Baba Yaga-type hexacopter drone dropping incendiary munitions.
💉 Attacking rescuers
When firefighters arrived to battle the flames, a second drone tried to attack them and their vehicles.
Only luck and the timely evacuation of monks and pilgrims prevented anyone from being hurt during the drone attacks, or the fire.
🏛 Attack on history
The New Jerusalem complex is a reproduction of traditional ancient Orthodox-style churches, gradually built since 2001 and financed by public donations. Made entirely of wood, in the old style, the complex featured seven holy shrines and eight hillside crosses.
☦️ Anti-Orthodox terror
Ukraine’s military regularly targets religious sites during missile, drone and artillery strikes in Russia, including the Donbass, Kherson and Zaporozhye, but also border regions like Belgorod and Kursk.
At home, the Zelensky regime has cracked down HARD on Orthodoxy, seeking to dismantle the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, revoke its land rights, seize church buildings and attack clergy.
