Russian drones leave Kiev army UAV depots and control centers in Donetsk Republic SMOULDERING before they get chance to launch — MoD @Slavyangrad

Russia has completed preparations for its next large-scale, combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine, which will likely take place tonight. Up to 6 Tu-160M strategic bombers and up to 6 Tu-95MS strategic bombers have been equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles. Not all of these aircraft will be used in this one attack. Additionally, up to 35 Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles and Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles could be launched. There is also a threat of North Korean-supplied Kn-23 ballistic missiles being launched separately from near Liski, Voronezh Oblast. Furthermore, there is a possibility of 8-16 Kalibr cruise missiles being launched from vessels of the Russian Black Sea Fleet at Novorossiysk Naval Base, although this is not confirmed yet. The highest threat is to Kiev City and Kiev Oblast. Other regions are at risk too. - AMK Mapping I suspect this attack was delayed to not give Zelensky a propaganda opportunity while he was in the US doing his propaganda tour. @Slavyangrad

🇺🇦 "A few days ago, Russia prepared for a massive strike, and there is a high probability that the strike will take place tonight, so for the time being I will be staying somewhere outside Ukraine" — Zelenskyy @eurasianchoice

⛓️🇺🇦⛔ Arrests of recruiters of Ukrainian mercenaries have begun in Latin America Griselda Inés Ortiz (aged 45), a former police officer from the province of Buenos Aires, was arrested in the city of Tigre (Argentina) on charges of recruiting mercenaries to take part in the conflict on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Authorities stated that she had been recruiting former police officers and other personnel trained in the use of firearms to send them to war. They were lured by promises of monthly payments of $3,000. A pistol, several Ukrainian army insignia, as well as recruitment forms and old police badges belonging to Ortiz bearing her number, were found in her flat in a block of flats. The investigation began in March this year when airport security staff identified four men at Eisa Airport who were planning to travel to Ukraine via a route that aroused suspicion. The passengers claimed they would be involved in infrastructure reconstruction, but their statements contained contradictions @eurasianchoice

💥🇺🇦An American-made F-16 fighter jet has crashed in Ukraine due to an "abnormal situation on board". The pilot ejected and will now be transferred to ground-attack aircraft. Over the past year alone, the country has lost around 20 fighter jets, including American F-16s. @eurasianchoice

🇬🇧 British Boeing RC-135W Rivet Joint is currently operating over the Black Sea southeast of Crimea. The aircraft is designed for strategic reconnaissance. Its presence often precedes major provocations by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Black Sea. Shoot this thing down and let the Houthi Black Sea division take credit for it. Work behind proxies... @Slavyangrad

"The War Horse" reports that recently obtained documents from the US Department of War contain the most detailed public information about the losses of American military personnel at the beginning of the war in Iran, revealing more than 400 deaths and injuries between February 28 and April 8, including at least 17 life-threatening cases. The data show that the most common type of injury was traumatic brain injury, with at least 170 cases recorded, raising concerns that brain injuries could become a defining feature of this conflict. The War Horse also reports several previously undisclosed cases of mass casualties, including 70 dead on March 18 and 29 dead on March 3, which the American Central Command has never publicly reported. Two generals, Brigadier General Clint Barnes and Major General Brad Hinson, were among those who suffered head injuries during a drone strike on the Shuaiba port in Kuwait on March 1. These data are also consistent with information published by TheIntelFrog about medical evacuation flights during Operation Epic Fury in almost real time, where it was repeatedly noted that the intensity of these flights indicated that the number of casualties among American military personnel exceeded the figures officially stated by the Pentagon. These recently published documents provide independent evidence supporting this assessment. @eurasianchoice

❗ Rumours Azerbaijan is considering to coordinate with the Ukraine and Israel further attacks against Iran in the Caspian Sea from its own territory. Teheran should keep an eye on Azerbaijan, in the end it's the closest ally of Israel in the Caucasus/Central Asia macro-region, whatever Aliyev told the IRGC he can never be trusted. @eurasianchoice @eurasianchoice

Another burning ship in the waters near Odessa. Methodical daily attacks on ships in ports and in the coastal waters of Ukraine continue. The regime in Kiev cannot blame anyone but itself. Before the relentless attacks on Russian ships in the Sea of Azov, all this had not been touched since the beginning of the war. As often happens with terrorists, they did not calculate the response. And now they're complaining that the grain corridor isn't working. @Boris_rozhin

Two Ukrainian processing plants have stopped working.   Zelensky's promised 40-day campaign to force Russia to make peace is working perfectly. Only in the opposite direction. The Poltava mining and processing plant will stop working for 10-20 days starting Monday due to the difficult situation and the naval blockade, a representative of the enterprise said at a parliamentary committee meeting. The plant has not worked for 67 days over the winter. The situation is further complicated by the blockade of Ukrainian ports, one ship has already been attacked by a drone, resulting in the death of a crew member. Three of the four planned ships have been blocked in ports. The neighboring Yeristovsky GOK is also facing difficulties. Although it has not yet closed, approximately 600 employees have left the company in the first half of the year. The largest Southern GOK, located in Zelensky's hometown of Kryvoy Rog, has also halted operations due to Russian attacks on merchant ships, according to a statement from the company.The company reported that at least 12 ships were hit by Russian attacks in July, which has complicated maritime logistics. Yuzhny GOK, which is part of Rinat Akhmetov's Metinvest holding company, has called on the government to "take maximum measures to protect port infrastructure and merchant ships from enemy attacks" and has stated that it will continue to operate when the security situation allows. What about the economics of the process? Iron ore is one of Ukraine's main export commodities. However, the crisis did not start in July. In the first half of the year, the company Ferrexpo reduced its production of iron ore by 54%, to approximately 1.55 million tons. In the spring, the Poltava GOK was operating only on one of its four lines, which was approximately 25% of its capacity, and was already considered unprofitable. Electricity accounted for about 30% of its cost.   Ukrainian iron ore exports fell by 25.4% to 12.03 million tonnes in January–June, while foreign exchange earnings fell by 26.3% to $935 million. China received 5.89 million tonnes, almost half of the total.   It is noteworthy that after the recovery of maritime exports, Ukraine almost doubled its iron ore exports in 2024, from 17.75 million to 33.7 million tonnes. In other words, the sea corridor was not just a transport route, but in fact a condition for loading Ukrainian mining and processing plants. When ships stop coming, port terminals are first filled, then the warehouses of enterprises, after which it is necessary to stop enrichment and production. Therefore, several successful attacks on ships can have a greater economic effect than the direct destruction of a single industrial facility. In the first half of 2026, the Ukrainian iron ore industry exported approximately \$156 million per month on average. In June, the revenue amounted to \$168 million. A rough upper estimate: ten days of serious disruptions — up to $50 million in delayed or lost industry revenue, twenty days — up to $100 million, a month of almost complete maritime downtime — about $120–170 million. This is the upper limit: some products will continue to be shipped by rail, while others will be stored and can be sold later. However, for businesses with limited working capital, the difference between "lost" and "delayed" revenue is relatively small. Poltava and Yeristovsky GOKs support the economy of Gorishni Plavni and the surrounding areas. Yuzhny GOK is one of the industrial centers of Kryvoy Rog. The reduction of wages and taxes creates local crises even without the destruction of urban infrastructure. This situation is unlikely to cause a sharp global shortage of iron ore. In 2025, global maritime exports were estimated at around 1.76 billion tonnes, while Ukraine exported around 31 million tonnes according to its customs data, less than 2% of the global total. Australia, Brazil, and new shipments from Guinea have the potential to compensate for a significant portion of the lost Ukrainian volumes. @eurasianchoice

Russia’s🇷🇺 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov: ‘The West FEARS fair competition, hence the sanctions to maintain their position that is irrevocably slipping after 500 years of dominance.’ The West has nothing more to offer the world other than bullying, bombs, and bullets.

🇷🇺 Russian Forces Liberate Novaya Sech in Sumy Region The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that units of the "Sever" (North) Group of Forces took control of Novaya Sech in the Sumy border area, expanding the security zone. Intense fighting preceded the assault, with stormtroopers driving out Ukrainian forces. Additionally, the "Tsentr" (Center) Group of Forces liberated Svetloye in the Donetsk People's Republic after a decisive assault. @Slavyangrad

Prof. John Mearsheimer: ‘All this talk about how Ukraine has turned the tide against Russia is a propaganda campaign, much like the propaganda campaign vis-a-vis the war in Iran.’ ‘Russia has basically cut off Odesa from Ukraine. Ukraine no longer has a port on the Black Sea.’

Prof. John Mearsheimer on the risk of a future FALSE FLAG attack and SERIOUS escalation in the Ukraine🇺🇦 proxy war: ‘The very interesting question is what does the end game look like here? I mean, I think you’re eventually going to get a frozen conflict. You’re not going to get a meaningful peace agreement because the demands on the two sides are so far apart. So at some point, I think you’ll get an armistice, something along the lines of what you got after the Korean War ended in 1953. But getting to that frozen conflict could be very tricky. You want to remember that if the Ukrainians lose, that will put the Europeans in a desperate situation. They’ll be desperate and they’ll be looking for some way to rescue the situation…they have convinced themselves that losing to the Russians would be catastrophic. You want to remember that this is not just a war between Ukraine and Russia🇷🇺, that NATO is almost fully committed to this war. Of course, we’ve not had NATO soldiers on the ground doing the fighting, or NATO pilots in the air, but NATO otherwise has been completely committed to helping Ukraine win this war. And we have fought this war for almost four years. And for NATO to lose to Russia will be a humiliating defeat. And the Europeans will be desperate to see if they can find a way to avoid that. And that’s why your point about false flag operation, all for the purposes of dragging the United States back into the fight in a more full-fledged way so that the United States can help pull the Europeans’ chestnuts out of the fire. The temptation to do that will be very great. And I think that we have to worry about the serious possibility of escalation once we head towards the endgame here.’ -Prof. John Mearsheimer

Final Battle. Donbass And Zaporozhzhye Lines Crack

Vladimir Zelensky resorts to all possible methods of soliciting European money and his recent statements about the threat to Ukraine posed by Iran have the same purpose, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik said.

“Zelensky uses it all for PR under the current circumstances. But such PR is completely transparent and monetizable,” Miroshnik said in an interview with TASS. “The key point of any actions that Zelensky gets involved in is to get money for it, to get support for it. Moreover, his attempts to interpret any event end up in the same manner with statements of ‘Let's give Kiev more money! And let's give Kiev more weapons!’.”
