Reuters reports that the order to limit Starshield for Ukraine came from inside the White House, but not from President Trump himself.

Regarding the so-called "Vovchansk Pocket".

There has been a lot of discourse recently about the status of this salient, with many repeating claims about Russia encircling and clearing the entire area.

As always, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Neither the Russian nor Ukrainian maps are in any way accurate in this sector.

This salient is more and more resembling a no-mans-land, with large grey-zones slowly merging into infiltration zones, while each side holds "islands" of control and intermingled positions throughout this vast area. There are numerous villages, treelines, gullies, and forested areas that can be used as infiltration routes for both sides.

Russia has not encircled this area, let along cleared it, but it would also be incorrect to say Ukraine holds a stable defence here. In fact, there are likely no more than 150 Ukrainian soldiers present throughout this entire 500 km² area. Most of the defence is being held with drones, and with soldiers on the immediate flanks just south of the salient. Some small Ukrainian assault groups remain present within the salient to conduct clearing operations against small Russian infiltrators.

The Russian zone of infiltration is increasing, and so is the grey-zone, which can be characterised as a zone of repeated infiltration. The areas marked as an infiltration zone on my map are very approximate, and only cover areas where Russian soldiers have been confirmed to have operated. The infiltration and grey-zones are likely larger than what is shown here, but I will not extend these zones until I am able to identify where they have been enlarged.

Logistics into this salient is very difficult for Ukraine due to the wide infiltration zone, and it will be difficult for them to hold it, but its not ruled out that the Russian offensive will eventually stall.

Btw, this new chat rule also extends to fanatics from the pro-Iranian and pro-Palestinian spaces (resistards, as I call them) as well.

As for Zionists, well, they’re basically all fanatics anyway so most of them are banned one way or another 😁

Unconfirmed reports of up to 8 Kalibr cruise missile launches from Novorossiysk Naval Base, Krasnodar Krai.

If the launches did indeed take place, they should enter Ukrainian airspace in the next 50 minutes.

An attempt was made by Ukraine today at around 2:44am to shoot down a Russian Su-34 launching KAB glide-bombs at Chernihiv Oblast from Bryansk Oblast, using a Patriot PAC-2/3 interceptor missile.

The Su-34 was able to make its launch maneuver, however its unknown if the interception attempt afterwards war successful or not.

Gerasimov's statements are shameful—announcing the capture of two large towns while fierce fighting continues there. Then they'll complain if something similar to what happened in Kupiansk occurs. And men are getting insulted with these declarations while are dying on the battlefield so that the leaders can pin medals on themselves. 🇷🇺🇺🇦
