    ** Zelensky Mocks Putin’s 15 Failed Deadlines to Capture Donetsk Region
    In brief: Zelensky condemned deadly Russian strikes on Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro, saying Moscow is “attacking life itself.” He vowed Ukraine would respond “with precision, not as terrorists,” while mocking Putin’s 15 failed deadlines to capture Donetsk region. **

    “Russia has become more aggressive and taken greater risks over the past six months, says Military Intelligence Chief Thomas Nilsson in an interview with TT. In addition to the actions on the ground in Ukraine, he points to violations of airspace in Finland and Estonia as well as the blowing up of a railway in Poland.

    The consequences of the development are several. For Russia, it concerns human lives and according to Nilsson, the country now has over one million killed and wounded.

    – In my eyes, it is incomprehensible. It is unimaginable that an ordinary democratic country could accept that kind of losses and the price it pays, he tells TT.” https://omni.se/mustchef-ryssland-ar-mer-aggressivt-och-riskbenaget/a/PdnGJ5

    “The United Kingdom is expected to present the largest restructuring of the armed forces in several decades on Tuesday, reports Politico.

    The defense will be changed with clear inspiration from Ukraine, focusing on cheap weapon systems that can take out high-value targets. At the same time, the pace of innovation will increase significantly, with development cycles to be measured in weeks instead of years, according to the British Ministry of Defence.

    In the investment plan, which will be one of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s last major initiatives before he steps down, several notable changes are also included. The UK is expected, among other things, to deprioritize the traditional naval combat capability that has long been a hallmark of the country’s military. The plan contains no new allocations for the eight Type 83 destroyers or the Type 32 frigates, which have been a central part of the fleet’s rebuilding until 2030.

    Instead, six new warships will be built to serve as command vessels for unmanned systems, including underwater vehicles for submarine hunting of Type 93.” https://omni.se/storbritannien-rustar-om-efter-ukrainsk-modell/a/WvoKkL

    Europe has become the United States’ and President Donald Trump’s favorite punching bag since Trump returned to the White House in January 2025. But after decades of close security policy cooperation with Washington, Europe is now increasingly investing in its own defense, “and the US would do well to prepare for that change,” write Marina Henke, Iren Marinova, and Till Knobloch in an analysis in Foreign Affairs.

    According to a new survey from the European Commission, 77 percent of Europeans consider Russia’s invasion of Ukraine the greatest threat to the continent’s security.

    “This feeling of insecurity is reinforced by the fact that many Europeans now realize they can no longer rely on the US,” the authors write in the analysis.

    And the weaker the US defense guarantees become, the more Europe needs Ukraine. This is written by Liana Fix and Paul Stares at the think tank Council on Foreign Relations in an analysis in Foreign Policy.

    “And the more justified Ukraine’s demands for something in return, such as full EU membership, become,” they write.

    The authors argue that even a future NATO membership could become relevant if the alliance is more led by Europe, with a smaller or completely absent American role.

    “Ukraine still lacks the nuclear capabilities of France and the United Kingdom as well as their air and naval forces. But when it comes to the fight against Russia, no European country is stronger.”

    Oh, how skilled those Russians are! Surely only wreckage left! 😄

    “According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, 419 Ukrainian drones were shot down over the country during the night, reports the news agency AFP.

    About 50 of them were reportedly on their way to Moscow, according to TT. It is currently unclear if any people have been injured or killed.

    As recently as the night before Friday, 660 Ukrainian drones were shot down over Russia, according to the Ministry of Defense. Just before that, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky had stated that the country’s military will carry out a 40-day offensive with long-range attacks against Russia, aiming to pressure Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table.”

    Off-Topic, USA

    “The past nine years have seen a decline in the American population’s pride in the country’s history and democracy, according to a survey by the polling institute AP-NORC.

    Among other things, the proportion of people who say they are ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ proud of the American military has decreased from 78 to 59 percent, while the proportion who have the same positive feeling about how the country’s democracy functions has dropped from 42 to 28 percent.

    However, the results vary significantly depending on the person’s political affiliation. Among Republicans, for example, 43 percent remain ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ proud of how democracy works.

    The survey was conducted in April, after the war between the USA, Israel, and Iran had begun.”

    Off-Topic, the heat in France (sorry Johan, can’t help it)

    “Funeral homes and morgues in France are under severe pressure after the heatwave that has caused over 1,000 deaths, reports AFP.

    Elisabeth Charrier, head of the national industry organization, says that occupancy at the country’s morgues normally ranges between 30 and 45 percent during the summer. Now it has on average risen to 66 percent across the country.

    In larger cities, several morgues have reached full capacity.

    – The biggest challenge is in central Paris, where the only two morgues have been fully occupied since Friday. Relatives are forced to go outside Paris, to the inner or outer suburbs, or even further away, to find a place where they can say goodbye to their loved ones, says Charrier.

    She also warns of a domino effect. Graves cannot be dug faster than they already are, and cremation times are quickly fully booked, which risks worsening the situation further.”

      “The number of people confirmed dead after the earthquakes in Venezuela has now risen to 1,719, reports CNN. The information comes from the president of the Venezuelan parliament, Jorge Rodríguez.

      On Monday, the UN humanitarian coordinator for Venezuela stated that at least 10,000 people are expected to have died in the earthquakes, according to Sky News.

      The tremors that struck Venezuela last Wednesday had a magnitude of 7.2 and 7.5. According to CNN, Rodríguez has stated that 189 buildings were completely destroyed in the earthquakes.”

      Interested in more than just the oil, or interested precisely because of the oil?
      No, now I shouldn’t be so cynical.

      Good that they are helping (regardless of the reason)! 👍

      “The fact that the USA is sending emergency aid to disaster-stricken Venezuela is not just a humanitarian gesture. It also represents an opportunity for the Trump administration to show that the country is interested in more than just Venezuela’s oil. That is what Michael Shifter from the think tank Inter-American Dialogue told the New York Times.

      The USA attacked Venezuela on January 3 and deposed the authoritarian president Nicolás Maduro. Trump promised that the country would flourish economically with the help of American investments.

      The American president has also several times claimed that the USA has rights to Venezuelan oil.

      – There is a growing concern that the Trump administration is effectively plundering the country and that Venezuela is losing independence and control over its own resources, says Shifter.”

        It’s good that they help out, and the USA usually does help when disasters like these occur.

        However, Trump would never give anything without getting paid, but he considers Venezuela his, so he wants to show that he is trying.

    Almost everything Ukraine has wanted has sooner or later been delivered.
    Patriot, CV-90 (etc.), tanks, HIMARS, ATACMS, Storm Shadows, F-16, and soon Gripen is also on its way.

    But those Taurus from Germany never seem to materialize. I wonder if Russia has threatened sabotage or bribed some, or if the Germans are simply generally cowardly?

    The talk about Ukraine not being able to operate the Taurus themselves, which would thus require German presence and thereby participation in the war, feels like a weak excuse. There is probably nothing Ukraine hasn’t managed to handle.

    Funny anyway that they have even created a Wiki page about it:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Taurus_controversy

      1. MXT

        Well, when it comes to the Taurus, they have not delivered. Otherwise, they have helped Ukraine with a lot of equipment.

        Now, it was probably very difficult before they even delivered tanks, and the deliveries haven’t been that large either, but otherwise they have done quite well.

    Off-Topic, Hormuz

    “Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is increasing again after Iran’s attacks on ships in the area over the weekend, reports Bloomberg. About 24 commodity vessels, including oil and gas tankers, passed through the strait in both directions on Monday, according to ship data from Kpler. This suggests that shipping companies’ concerns about new attacks have decreased, although traffic is still clearly below pre-crisis levels.

    The development comes as the US and Iran have sent delegations to Doha, Qatar for diplomatic contacts following the weekend’s escalation. The Strait of Hormuz, through which about one-fifth of the world’s global oil trade passes, has been a central source of concern in the energy market since the conflict escalated.”

    The police are still searching for the man suspected of the bombing in Monaco on Monday evening, where several people were injured, reports Reuters. French police are also participating in the hunt.
    According to French and Ukrainian media reports, the intended target was the pro-Russian Ukrainian businessman and oligarch Vadym Yermolayev. He has lived in Monaco since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and has been subject to Ukrainian sanctions since December 2023.
    Surveillance cameras show, according to Le Figaro, a man leaving a backpack at the entrance to a building shortly before the explosion. BFMTV reports that the man wore light-colored pants, a black jacket, and a black hat that partially concealed his face. He then left the scene on foot heading towards the neighboring town of Beausoleil.

    **Moscow was subjected to a major drone attack overnight, the city’s mayor announced on Tuesday, less than two weeks after Ukraine launched a large-scale drone attack on the Russian capital.

    Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported several waves of drones starting Monday evening. He said on Telegram that Russian air defenses had shot down more than 60 drones and that emergency services were working at the crash sites. He mentioned no injuries.

    Sobyanin did not say where the drones came from, and there was no immediate public comment from Ukrainian authorities.

    Russia’s federal aviation monitoring agency briefly issued emergency restrictions at major airports serving Moscow on Tuesday morning, citing flight safety reasons. The agency, Rosaviatsia, said on Telegram that Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport and Zhukovsky International Airport had reopened less than two hours after the restrictions were announced.

    Earlier this month, Ukraine launched one of its largest drone attacks on Moscow. The attack, which injured at least 17 people in the Moscow region, targeted a large oil refinery and forced the temporary closure of the city’s four airports. The Russian Defense Ministry later stated that they had shot down nearly 1,000 drones across the country during the attack.

    Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attack was in response to an attack on a monastery complex in Kyiv. Russia claimed it had been hit by a malfunctioning Ukrainian surveillance missile.

    What is the space center in Dubna?

    RU has probably started hunting UA satellites recently, so maybe that’s why?

    The nuclear weapons triad should start combating UA, but the EU membership surely has some hidden clause 😀

    What do you think Lukashenko’s meeting with Putin and Xi gave?

    Xi said something exciting “we support Belarus’ freedom as a country”.

    That is probably one of the most important pieces of information this year, is China stopping Russia’s plans for escalation?

    Sensational if that is the case, we shall see

    1. 205

      Also thought about that. Sovereignty is respected as long as Belarus itself does not violate another country’s sovereignty or become a doormat for another country’s aggression. Strange result of having visited Putin shortly before. What do the Chinese “guarantees” mean in this context? Is there also a guard in the Baltics/Finland etc.

      1. johan No.1

        You are quick – that’s what I’m starting to wonder, has China put its foot down on everything 😀

        It could be that they allow Russia to continue in Ukraine but slow down everything else, and then Putin is hopelessly screwed.

        A little curveball from someone who has a stranglehold on Putin.

        More will probably come out after a while but it’s not unlikely that –

        Lukashenko stopped the relay towers for the Grenade drones, which is a HUGE blow to Putin.

        At the meeting in Moscow, Putin threatened a full invasion if they weren’t turned on.

        Lukashenko then goes to China and cries, Xi then comes out and says no to Putin’s plans.

        —

        IF this has played out like that, then Putin is in a bad spot 🤣🤣🤣

      China says so much just to sound good. What they really mean is harder to know.

      The one below about the war in Ukraine, from February 2023 from the “Ministry of Foreign Affairs, People’s Republic of China”, is still accessible.

      When you read what they write, you can almost believe that China is the new UN, but we know better, because if they meant anything at all by it, they would stop supporting Russia and could easily stop the war, but they do not.

      China’s Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis

      1. Respecting the sovereignty of all countries. Universally recognized international law, including the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, must be strictly observed. The sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries must be effectively upheld.

      All countries, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, are equal members of the international community. All parties should jointly uphold the basic norms governing international relations and defend international fairness and justice. Equal and uniform application of international law should be promoted, while double standards must be rejected

      … …

      2. Abandoning the Cold War mentality.
      The security of a country should not be pursued at the expense of others. The security of a region should not be achieved by strengthening or expanding military blocs. The legitimate security interests and concerns of all countries must be taken seriously and addressed properly. …

      …

      3. Ceasing hostilities. 

      etc. etc.

      1. johan No.1

        Yes, they do, but we also have a very clear chain of events where one point was that Lukashenko pulled the rug out from under Putin’s drones into western Ukraine, which is exactly what Putin is threatening Ukraine with.

        The meeting in Moscow was on short notice and the meeting with Xi was even more sudden?

        https://www.reuters.com/world/china/belarus-lukashenko-meets-chinas-xi-beijing-talks-2026-06-29/

        It was a bit more than just that statement.

        So Ockham,

        Belarus has just done what Ukraine asked them to do, so Ukraine will not invade Belarus.

        Belarus has just pulled the rug out from under Putin’s drone weapons.

        The only direction this message can be against is Putin?

        Who controls Russia’s arms industry, key raw materials, the digital battlefield, etc?

        1. MXT

          Yes, it can absolutely be the case that China thinks it has had enough and that they do not want to see any Russian invasion of the Baltics.

          But there are more variations.

          It could have been aimed at Ukraine. That they stand on Belarus’s side could be a warning to Zelensky not to escalate the rhetoric to the point that it becomes an armed conflict. 

          Perhaps also in combination with a warning to Putin not to start a conflict with Belarus just because they agreed to Zelensky’s demands.

          So it does not necessarily have anything to do with the Baltics itself.

          Regardless, it is always interesting when China finally says something, without China Russia cannot continue.

          1. Pehr

            I believe in a combination.
            China does not want to see chaos, and they are probably also keen to ensure that their most important export market, Europe, is not unnecessarily disrupted.

          2. CB500four

            Believe like Pehr. China wants stability, chaos is not good for business.

            They are trying to keep Russia alive, even though Putin is doing everything to drag it down with him.

            Believe that Luka contacted China after talking to Putin, and realized that Putin’s path only leads to ruin.

      2. jahojariaho

        “Respecting the sovereignty of all countries.” is probably a point that they do not recognize Taiwan as a country?

      “

      Okay. The best theory as to why Ukraine chooses to start a new-old front, albeit in the form of a war of words, against Poland comes here.

      It’s about demographics.

      In the early 2000s, about 2 million Ukrainians came to Poland. They were tired of having to pay bribes and wanted a better economic life. Most stayed in Poland.

      Now, due to the war, more millions of Ukrainians have come to Poland. Some see Poland as a transit country to even more economically better countries.
      But in total, it’s about maybe up to five million Ukrainians. Of which a majority are women.

      Both Ukraine and Poland are in desperate need of these people. Ukraine has lost people due to the war and Poland has lost millions because many have moved westward to work and because, as in all Western countries, fewer and fewer children are born.

      If Poland lets politicians fall for cheap populism instead of protecting the Ukrainian minority in Poland and assertively defending the historical truth about the Ukrainian ethnic cleansing of Poles, then Poland loses the battle for “its Ukrainians.” This means not least the 1.5-2.0 million permanent emigrants from Ukraine who have lived in Poland since before the war and who want to live in an EU country where you don’t have to pay bribes at every step, where the standard of living is sufficiently high, and where the cultural closeness allows very rapid integration.

      Poland and Ukraine both lost Ukrainians because an estimated 0.5 to 1 million treated Poland as a transit country and emigrated further west.

      Both Ukraine and Poland as countries risk, according to some, dying out in the long term; the demographics are at least inexorable and the countries risk decline without economic immigrants.

      One of the best things that has happened to the Polish economy has been the massive migration of Ukrainians over time during the 2000s.

      Of course, now that the war is ongoing, it is even harder for anyone to rejoice at the neighbor’s misfortune, since besides the war, the draining of people away from Ukraine is an incredible tragedy.
      Demographically, Ukraine will not exist for long—unless at least some of the millions of Ukrainians who have left return.
      The thing is that everyone wants to live better and live where it feels better. Poland, due to the very similar language, culture, and identity, was a natural direction for labor migration and settlement in the pursuit of a better life.

      One should expect that this fact has now hit the elite in Kiev hard in the
      face, which, besides stirring up anti-Ukrainian sentiments in Poland, does not have many options to get its compatriots to return. Patriotism after the war usually ends with a cold calculation for the family’s livelihood and life in a safe and less corrupt country.

      Paradoxically – stirring Poles against Ukrainians and Ukrainians against Poles – will now benefit both Moscow and Kiev.
      But for different reasons.

      And with the conscious risk that Ukrainian membership in the EU is blocked or at least delayed as long as Ukraine chooses to honor those who carried out the ethnic cleansing/genocide in the 1940s.”

      1. johan No.1

        Isn’t raspberry juice a Polish descendant?

        The important point is probably –

        – not now with this nonsense.

        – Poland benefits somewhat obscenely from Ukraine taking the whole hit, and this is the first time in history they are not the buffer state being run over.

        I don’t believe for a second that Ukraine is deliberately trying to sabotage the relationship with Poland.

        I also think that all of Europe should be significantly more respectful towards Ukraine – a couple of countries like Sweden and Denmark are, but many others are still sitting on their high horses like the German bastards.

        I’ve gotten a lot of shouting from Poles on Substack as soon as I dive into this, and I also know that MXT is from Gdansk where he descends from a long line of local caretakers in the harbor, but the way Poland is acting now is not okay in my opinion – I take the quarrel here as well.

        Of course, Ukraine wants to get back its men of military age – we in Sweden have very clear laws about such things, or at least did in the 90s when I did my military service, conscientious objection was punished.

        We have total defense duty in Sweden; trying to leave after being called up is a crime. Citizenship comes with obligations after all.

        Or am I misreading her text?

      2. MXT

        I have a feeling that Russia is working very hard in Poland to influence the population. Of course, it is not smart of Zelensky to cause irritation, but I hardly think it was intentional.

        We have, among other things, seen how farmers have blocked border crossings, both for incoming and outgoing traffic. They have sabotaged grain transports, etc.

        Overall, Poland does not seem to do much to streamline the crossings, with long waiting times whether you come by road or train, even though as a nation they have done and are doing a lot for Ukraine.

        It’s simply sad that old grudges come to the surface and cause trouble. As Johan writes, it is still Ukraine that is fighting a war for its survival while also being the shield against Russia.

        The Poles should perhaps consider how things might have looked if Russia had defeated Ukraine and caught wind of more instead.

         

         

      4. CB500four

        Yes, it is a shame that old grudges are brought to the surface, but Russia naturally knows about all the disagreements that have existed between Poland and Ukraine and helps to fuel conflicts whenever they can.

        The latest probably started after Ukraine named some elite unit after someone who was a hero in Ukraine, but unfortunately was seen as a terrorist in Poland.

        That is how it is in Europe, that since there have been so many conflicts between the countries over time, one country’s hero is often seen as a terrorist in the neighboring country.

        At the same time, it is also true that Polish farmers are afraid of competition from Ukrainian farmers if they join the EU.

    Down Russian pressure on the total. Also a slight decrease in Ukrainian pressure (unlocalized, which is the difference between the stated total number of combat engagements and the Russian localized total), which has now admittedly broken through the support of at least a hundred attacks that have existed in recent weeks, but may be approaching again. 94 attacks are, by the way, significantly more than the average just a few months ago.

    Russian and Ukrainian maps (not Deepstate holding back) have started to differ significantly.

    Since all the OSINT sources have told us that they have OPSEC, it is certainly to UA’s advantage.

    The Satellite Communications Center (SCC) in Dubna, Russia, is the largest ground-based satellite complex in the country. It was originally built in 1980 by the USSR to broadcast the Moscow Olympic Games to European and Atlantic regions. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    Over time, it evolved into a massive civilian and military teleport. Today, its primary purposes are: [1, 2, 3]
    • Civilian Broadcasting: Handling telecommunications, internet access, and television/radio broadcasts across multiple time zones.
    • Military Communications & Reconnaissance: Controlling transponders and satellite links used by the Russian Ministry of Defense. The facility has been utilized for intelligence gathering and coordinating Russian military operations. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

        Zelensky has some kind of 40-day plan, then I missed which day to count from when it started, but we will probably see a lot more Russian devastation before this is over!

        I continue to long for reaching Omsk. If a massive attack succeeds there where both the oil, chemical, and weapons industries disappear in enormous explosions (caused by wreckage parts of course) it could probably be the final nail in the coffin. Maybe not so that Russia would immediately surrender, but I think it would hit very hard both economically and mentally. It will require quite a few diaper changes for Putin and the pro-Russian accounts would scream in despair.

    “U.S. President Donald Trump is dissatisfied with the Supreme Court’s ruling on the right to citizenship at birth. On Truth Social, he describes the decision as ‘bad for the USA.’ Trump is now urging Congress to limit the possibility of citizenship through legislation. ‘Congress should start working today to abolish the costly and unfair right to citizenship at birth. They will have my full and wholehearted support!’ Trump writes. The day after Donald Trump took office as president last year, he signed a presidential order aimed at limiting the right to citizenship at birth. The order meant that children born in the U.S. would only receive American citizenship if at least one of the parents was an American citizen or had permanent residency. However, the presidential order has never come into effect after several states and interest groups initiated legal proceedings, citing that it violates the U.S. Constitution.”

    Saab has signed a contract with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) for the delivery of 16 Gripen E to Ukraine. The order is worth 24.6 billion SEK and will be booked in the third quarter. Deliveries to FMV are scheduled for 2029-2030. – I am very proud that Sweden and Saab can now enable the delivery of Gripen E to Ukraine and provide the country with a world-class fighter jet that offers a new level of operational capability, says Saab’s CEO Micael Johansson in a comment. At the end of May, the government announced that it is donating 16 Gripen aircraft of the C/D model to Ukraine, and that the country intends to purchase 20 Gripen E/F.

      “First contract finalized. 16 JAS 39E to Ukraine! This should correspond to a Ukrainian division, this also means that the donation of 16 JAS 39C/D will be executed.”

      and

      “The contract probably came a bit faster than expected, great job by everyone involved. This also means that it is completely clear that we will buy 12 39E to replace the donated C/D.”
