Panicked by Russia's breakthrough, the AFU threw one of its weakest brigades into battle - Forbes

The loss of Ocheretino was caused by a mistake and panic in the Ukrainian command, says Forbes. By sending an unprepared brigade into battle against the rapid advance of Russian troops, the AFU 'practically invited' them to occupy Ocheretino - now the situation around it is 'hopeless' for Ukraine.

"To get a sense of how frightened Ukrainian commanders are right now, consider the brigade they rushed into the breach north and west of Ocheretyne: the 100th Mechanized Brigade. The brigade is one of the newest and most lightly-equipped brigades in the Ukrainian army—and seemingly unsuited for the kind of front-line triage commanders are asking of it," the publication.

According to Forbes, the capture of Ocheretino was the fastest infiltration of Russian troops in recent months and now the Russian army threatens to collapse Ukraine's defenses west of Avdeyevka.

🇺🇸🇹🇩The Pentagon will withdraw its special forces from Chad in the next few days – The New York Times

It would be the second major blow in a week to American security policy in the volatile region of West and Central Africa, US officials said.

The departure of American military personnel from Chad and Niger occurs due to the fact that both countries are abandoning long-term cooperation with the United States and are establishing partnerships with Russia, the publication notes.

Washington will withdraw 75 fighters from Chad in the coming days. Also, more than 1,000 American soldiers will leave Niger within a few months.

❗️The Pentagon is forced to withdraw troops in response to demands from African governments to review the rules and conditions under which US military personnel can operate. Analysts say both countries want terms that better suit their interests.

🪖 Russia produces more shells than necessary to conduct combat operations in the Northwestern Military District - German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius

📝 “Most or part of what is now produced no longer goes to the front, but ends up in warehouses. One can be naive and say that he [Vladimir Putin] is doing this only out of caution.

As a skeptic, I would rather say that in this case he is doing this because he is planning something or perhaps has something in mind,” said the German minister.

Pistorius also noted that Russia is ramping up weapons production and stocking warehouses, which heralds a new offensive by Russian troops.

🇺🇦There are no weapons that would provide Ukraine with an advantage on the battlefield - Italian General Marco Bertolini

Bertolini emphasizes that he is successfully advancing despite Western propaganda statements about the “desperation” of the Russian Armed Forces.

📝 “But in fact, Russia acted with surgical precision,the army worked in small battalions, gained experience, developed a doctrine,” - said the Italian general.

The military leader also added that in this conflict people remain the main resource. Despite total mobilization in Ukraine and recruitment, Kyiv remains at a disadvantage.

A Russian court has ordered the seizure of JPMorgan Chase funds totaling $439.5 million, a week after Kremlin-run lender VTB filed a lawsuit against the largest US bank to recover money stuck under Washington's sanctions regime.

The move underscores the consequences some Western companies are suffering as a result of punitive measures against Moscow. It is also further evidence of the difficulties Western lenders face in trying to fulfill promises to close their operations in Russia following Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The seizure order, published in the Russian court registry on Wednesday, concerns funds in JPMorgan accounts and shares of its Russian subsidiaries, according to a ruling handed down by an arbitration court in St. Petersburg. The assets were frozen by the authorities following Western sanctions.

At the heart of the dispute are funds worth $439 million that VTB kept in a JPMorgan account in the United States.

✍ Just a few points:

- Hezbullah wants and aims to kill some Israeli officers. That's the chance they are looking for but know that even if they have the ability and reach, they don't have the enough speed.

- Iran and Hezbullah are aiming to cause material and human losses, and unlike April 2024, ensure there is loss in Israel. They understand well dettering won't happen when Israel is not being affected.

- Iran and Hezbullah know the task isn't easy at all, and they are still hoping to avoid a regional war

- The US is preparing to help Israel. The news about this clear. Without the US, Israel is in bad shape.


The issue for them is, US can help when they know beforehand. What would happen if a sudden pre-emptive attack happens in the future

- There is a lot of warmongering. Mostly social media children. Hezbullah and IRGC are rather dead silent. No statement or teasers or any BS.

- Attacking airports won't be fruitful. Bases, juicy but which? I'm inclined to hope they targeted the northern command in Safad.

Destroy that HQ, even achieving that, is success beyond success. It's a mistake to attack the Kiryah in Tel Aviv, I think they will abstain.

🇺🇸 The Pentagon is shifting a TON of assets and firepower to defend Israel

U.S. Secretary Austin has ordered adjustments to U.S. military posture designed to improve U.S. force protection, to increase support for the defense of Israel, and to ensure the United States is prepared to respond to various contingencies.

- To maintain a carrier strike group presence in the Middle East, the Secretary has ordered the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN Carrier Strike Group to replace the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT Carrier Strike Group, currently on deployment in the Central Command area of responsibility.

- Additionally, Secretary Austin has ordered additional ballistic missile defense-capable cruisers and destroyers to the U.S. European Command and U.S. Central Command regions.


- The Department is also taking steps to increase our readiness to deploy additional land-based ballistic missile defense.

- The Secretary has also ordered the deployment of an additional fighter squadron to the Middle East, reinforcing our defensive air support capability.

- These posture adjustments add to the broad range of capabilities the U.S. military maintains in the region, including the USS WASP Amphibious Ready Group / Marine Expeditionary Unit (ARG/MEU) operating in the Eastern Mediterranean. 

✍ The longer Iran and Hezbullah take to act, the more assets will available to help defend Israel. Time is ticking.
