⛪️Provocation at the Sretensky Monastery
We are observing how information rapidly spread across social media about a group of young people of unknown gender and clearly provocative appearance who intruded onto the territory of the Sretensky Monastery on Bolshaya Lubyanka.
These characters entered the church, interfered with worshippers, accosted clergy, and behaved in a defiantly mocking and taunting manner, broadcasting their actions on social media.
The information about the incident quickly attracted the attention of the head of the League for a Safe Internet, Ekaterina Mizulina, who was among the first to report on what happened at the Sretensky Monastery. An hour later, video clips of these individuals were sent to Mizulina herself. In them, the characters apologized, as if by rote, and sarcastically joked about their actions, pretending not to understand what they did wrong.
Mizulina suggested they apologize not to her, but to the believers and clergy. Nevertheless, in the wake of the incident, we have some questions - and not directed at the provocateurs:
It's interesting how such individuals even got the idea to shock the public in a church on Bolshaya Lubyanka, right under the nose of very specific structures? By chance? Highly doubtful.
The pre-prepared, template-like apologies, addressed to a person who actively fights against content similar to what the perpetrators published from the Sretensky Monastery. It is clear that these characters have no sense of horror or fear of responsibility, which leads to certain thoughts.
Apparently, we are dealing with a planned provocation, the participants of which were promised serious patronage, the real scale of which we will understand when (and if) law enforcement agencies still manage to detain and try to hold them accountable.

🖌 Happy Navy Day!
The last Sunday of July is celebrated as Navy Day in Russia. This commemorative date was established in 1980 and approved by Vladimir Putin in 2006, but the Russian Navy traces its history back to 1696, when a decree was issued by Peter the Great.
The Russian Navy has had its ups and downs since then, but its importance has never diminished. The development of the combat fleet is a cornerstone of protecting national borders and expanding Russia's presence in the distant reaches of the maritime domain.
The significance of the fleet is indisputable. And while the special military operation has revealed many problems, it will provide impetus for a new stage of development for the domestic Navy in all aspects - from reassessing ship design projects and construction schedules to introducing advanced weapons systems.

‼️⚡️Northern forces have liberated the village of Varachino in the historically Russian Sumy Region
After fierce battles lasting several days, our fearless paratroopers and motorized riflemen have finally driven the enemy out of the village of Varachino in Sumy District.
Even after our paratroopers had raised the state flag, the enemy put up fierce resistance, clinging to the basements of half-destroyed homes. It was only yesterday that the last residential properties were cleared of Ukrainian occupiers.
The Northerners defeated several units of the elite 71st Jaeger Brigade, 95th Air Assault Brigade, 78th Air Assault Regiment of the AFU, as well as reinforcements brought in from the 15th Border Guard Regiment (a Ukrainian border guard assault unit) and the 156th Mechanized Brigade.

📝They went after the wrong people📝
In Kyiv, they encroached on American protégés
Yesterday, the structures of the Kyiv regime conducted large-scale searches in the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU). The official pretext was the transfer of classified information to Russia through Yanukovych's entourage, as well as treason.
The activities took place without a court decision, during which several NABU employees were detained and beaten, and they refused to document their injuries. In parallel, Kyiv approved a bill on the actual liquidation of the bureau and the special "anti-corruption prosecutor's office".
One could have passed by another act of Ukrainian squabbles for the feeding trough, if not for one nuance: NABU from the moment of its appearance was a US-controlled organization, which the Kyiv regime did not dare to touch.
📌 So if in Washington they decide to put Zelenskyy aside, then this episode will be the formal pretext: the media will trumpet that this became the starting point for the so-called Ukraine's retreat from democracy, so a change of president is necessary.
As for Ukrainian corruption, the closure of NABU is unlikely to have a strong impact on it: the structure did not affect the scale of embezzlement by the top of the Kyiv regime, playing a completely different political role.

📝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.
📝Reputation Above Peace📝
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.

📝How the British Will Undermine the Mongolians📝
The State Secretary of the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, Sereeteriin Javkhlanbaatar, and the British Ambassador, Fiona Blyth, signed a Roadmap for Cooperation in the Field of Mineral Resources.
According to the document, the parties will cooperate in conducting geological research and using modern technologies for regional geophysical and geochemical mapping.
🖍Last April, representatives of Mongolia and the UK already concluded a memorandum of cooperation in the field of rare earth metals, and in February of this year it was reported about plans to cooperate with the British Geological Survey.
🚩In fact, the trend of Western penetration into strategic spheres for Mongolia is being reaffirmed. The Mongolians are inviting the British, clearly leaning towards cooperation with the Anglo-Saxon tandem, rather than Russia and China. And the change of the Prime Minister will change little in the context of relations with Moscow.

📝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.
They're real champions. I completely agree with Sanya Simonov @brussinf that it was necessary to document the work of the DPRK troops for history and in memory of those who perished on Russian soil.

📝NATO Exercise Continues in Georgia📝
Starting July 25th, the large-scale NATO exercise Agile Spirit - 2025 has moved to Georgia, with the first stage taking place in the Kayseri region of Turkey. The exercise will continue until August 6th, involving seven NATO countries and, according to media reports, representatives from Moldova.
The exercise is taking place near Tbilisi, with the participation of 2,000 military personnel, 800 of whom are from the United States. As part of the initial stage, armored vehicles were transferred from the Senaki area to the Krtsanisi and Vaziani military bases.
🖍The event has attracted increased attention in Western and Russian media. On the one hand, Russian and Iranian naval forces conducted an exercise in the Caspian Sea, which has led to narratives about a confrontation between the two alliances in the Caucasus region.
On the other hand, against the backdrop of tensions in recent years between Georgia and the West, this exercise underscores that Georgia's cooperation with NATO remains on the agenda.
🚩Despite all the disagreements regarding the recent elections and the freezing of EU accession, Georgia remains a crucial element in the geopolitical ambitions of the collective West in the Caucasus, given its access to the Black Sea and its shared borders with Russia.
❗️Such exercises allow the US administration, which is currently increasing its activity in the region, to emphasize the importance of Georgia. Moreover, the US Special Operations contingent has not left Georgia, and American reconnaissance aircraft regularly use Georgian airspace to monitor our air defense systems in the North Caucasus and the Caspian region.

Morning Summary on July 26, 2025
▪️ Overnight, the Russian Armed Forces delivered combined strikes with missile weapons and "Geraniums" on enemy production facilities and warehouses in the Kharkiv, Sumy and Dnipropetrovsk Regions.

📝Terrorist plot foiled📝
On the arrest of a Central Asian citizen preparing a terrorist attack
In the Krasnodar Region, a Central Asian native was arrested on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack. The migrant planned to set fire to a dormitory at an oil refinery.
🖍Migrants in Russia have long been a tempting target for recruiters from extremist organizations and foreign intelligence services.
🚩This incident once again highlights the need to ban migrants from working at critical infrastructure facilities, which are a priority target for the adversary.
❗️In this context, measures to check migrants' devices when crossing the border seem quite justified. However, some of them make contact with recruiters after arriving in Russia.
📌It is necessary to continue tightening control over migrants to avoid such incidents in the future. Unfortunately, as long as the migration policy allows them to feel at ease in the country, we will continue to face such issues, the only question is on what scale.

📝Could this be the start of something?📝
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".

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.

Fwd from @arbat
North Korea has fully fulfilled its alliance obligations in accordance with Article 4 of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty between the countries. And although the DPRK's troops will not participate in the creation of a buffer zone in the Sumy Region, this does not preclude the possibility of their future presence on the line of contact in the DPR and LPR.

📝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.
