⚡According to a statement by Oleksiy Arestovych, a former adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine, Russia is allegedly preparing to launch a large-scale strategic offensive along the entire front line, which could take place in the coming days. Arestovych highlighted that Russian forces are currently building up assault formations and preparing to push from Zaporizhzhia to Kupiansk.

Reports from other sources suggest that Russian forces have already captured several key settlements near Pokrovsk, including Nikolaevka, Krutoy Yar, and Krasny Yar. The distance to Pokrovsk is now reportedly about 7.6 km, while Russian troops are only 1.5 km away from Mirnograd.

Additionally, local authorities in Pokrovsk have announced the cancellation of the heating season due to the ongoing conflict, the absence of gas, water, and electricity creating critical shortages, meaning the heating system will likely not be operational this winter.

⚡Russian Iskander missile strike on Ukrainian Patriot air defence system in Dnepropetrovsk region.

AN-MPQ-53 radar and a launcher seems to have been hit.

Patriots fired missiles on approaching Iskanders, but they seem to have failed.


By the way. Iskander is an old missile. Developed in the 1990's.

Not even the best short range missile in Russia's arsenal.

And there are 7 different variants of Iskander. Iskander-E, Iskander-M etc

One thing is clear.

Western weapons and air defense systems are basically useless. They've lost all credibility.

Take Israel as an example. The most heavily defended airspace in the western world, yet cheaply made Hezbollah and Hamas rockets keep penetrating it like it's nothing.

And in Ukraine, once Russian missiles are in the air you already know it's a confirmed hit. Even Zelensky himself posts pictures of areas of impact.

⚡The European Union must “unite the whole continent, all of Europe’s democratic nations including your countries”, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday at a summit in Dubrovnik with Balkans leaders.

“Even though there is much political tension we must ensure that our unity in Europe remains as stable as possible,” said Zelensky, speaking in English.

“If Europe is not united today it won’t be peaceful, so that integration processes that have begun must reach their result.”

Heads of state, premiers and foreign ministers from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Greece, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey joined Zelensky and Croatia’s Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic at the talks.

⚡For the second time since 2023, the Bulgarian government has withdrawn the Kozloduy NPP from EU sanctions in order to attract contractors from Russia for the safety of the plant's operation.

Apparently, we are talking about the supply of asynchronous electric motors and in-reactor sensors, as well as the provision of related services, including delivery and installation (this is the very station from which Ukraine requests reactors for its nuclear power plants).


The sixth power unit of the Kozloduy NPP requires replacement of other elements.

This follows from the fact that in March 2023, Bulgaria had already withdrawn nuclear power plants from sanctions on a one-time basis for the necessary repairs. "The company will be able to import metal products from Russia when fulfilling the contracts listed in the annexes to today's decision.

It is also allowed to import goods and technologies from Russia and provide appropriate technical assistance necessary to fulfill contracts directly listed in the annexes," Rosen Hristov, the country's energy minister, said at the time after a meeting of the country's technical government, where the issue was discussed.

⚡Former US president Donald Trump’s hotel group will develop a $1.5 billion luxury resort and golf course project in Vietnam, the local partner and state media said.

A memorandum of understanding for the deal was signed during a visit to the United States by Vietnam’s top leader To Lam last month, developer Kinh Bac City said in a statement.

The Republican presidential candidate took time out from the campaign trail to witness the signing by his son Eric, images in state media showed.

Vietnam’s official government newspaper Bao Chinh Phu said Wednesday the project was worth $1.5 billion and a staff member at Kinh Bac City, who declined to be named, confirmed the figure to AFP.

Trump entrusted the management of his real estate empire to his sons after taking office as president in 2017, although he held onto his shares in the Trump Organization.

LordAdam16:
True.

HIMARS now has a 10% effective rate.

So for every 100 missiles only 10 would likely hit their target. No one cares about the 90. It's the 10% that gets all the coverage.

Russia will be the most lethal force of the next decade. And China made a strategic error not to be more directly involved.
If they ever make a military move, Russia will bleed them financially for battle-tested expertise.
The parts they've focused on like backstage preparation and ramping up production is already their strength.
They're the best at that in the world. They need to test their weapon systems.
Iran has refined its drone and missile capabilities through the SMO.
Even North Korea is getting in on the action.

-Lord
China will regret not using Ukraine as a testing ground for its weapons and tech.

All the errors they'll make when they enter Taiwan could have been corrected in the Ukraine war theater. They had 2 years to do that, they still can. it's not too late.

Of what good are weapons, if you don't get to test them in a high intensity battlefield?

Ukraine launch missiles and drones at Russia everyday. You'll never see it anywhere on western media.


Only that one missile that manages to penetrate Russian air defense is what they'll talk about for months.

⚡China is employing an "anaconda strategy" to exert pressure on Taiwan, Admiral Tang Hua, Taiwan's Navy Commander says.

“They are ready to blockade Taiwan at any time they want,” he says.

China has twice as many frigates and ten times as many destroyers.

Taiwan often has to deploy 25-50% of its combat vessels just to match China’s patrols.

“They give you extreme pressure, pressure, pressure. They’re trying to exhaust you,” says Admiral Tang.

“The PLA is trying to force Taiwan to make mistakes,” says Admiral Tang, and looking for “excuses” to trigger a blockade.

⚡Professor Emmanuel Todd:

"I am not pro-Russian, but if Ukraine loses, Europe will win."

"The outcome of this war will decide the fate of Europe. If Russia is defeated in Ukraine, the subordination of Europe to the Americans will last for a century.

If, as I believe, the United States is defeated, NATO will disintegrate and Europe will remain free. Even more important than Russia's victory will be the halting of its army on the Dnieper. It will have neither the means nor the desire to expand once it has restored itself to pre-communist borders.

The Western Russophobic hysteria, fantasizing about Russia's desire for expansion in Europe, is simply laughable to a historian.

The psychological shock that awaits Europeans will be the realization that NATO was created not to protect us, but to control us."
