The Ukrainian Toretsk counterattacks of 2025 might be one of the most forgotten battles of this war.

I don't know how many of you guys remember them, but they were extremely unexpected.

Now that that's over, we wait for the resumption of the regional war in the Middle East.

I expect the U.S. will start a new bombing campaign in the coming days/weeks, and Iran will immediately retaliate by hitting the gulf states and U.S. bases.

The IRGC released footage showing the interception of a U.S. MQ-9 “Reaper” drone over the Strait of Hormuz today.

The IRGC is conducting new ballistic test launches from near Shiraz, southern Iran.

Approximately 4 Russian S8000 Banderol cruise missiles struck the city of Kremenchuk, Poltava Oblast, and the neighbouring city of Svitlodovsk, Kirovohrad Oblast, a little over an hour ago.

The 14 year old boy who took part in protests against a reported Azov detention facility near Kyiv, and his parents, have been added to the been added to the controversial Ukrainian "Myrotvorets" list, where their personal information, including address, phone numbers, and passport information, were doxxed. This is the same boy who was reportedly beaten with a shovel by soldiers after throwing rocks at Azov personnel.

The boy was added to the list for allegedly taking "actions aimed at undermining Ukraine's defense capabilities and disrupting mobilization measures in the interests of the Russian-fascist invaders", calling for attacks on Ukrainian military personnel, attacking Ukrainian servicemen, and obstructing the Ukrainian military's actions "to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country". They allege that he injured Azov personnel after throwing rocks at them, and caused damage exceeding 10s of millions of Hryvnias.

The child's parents were added to the list for "Non-fulfilment of parental responsibilities for the maintenance and upbringing of minor children, which led to serious consequences." Despite them not taking part in any of the protest actions, their personal information, including including address, phone numbers, and passport information, were doxxed to the public.

The Myrotvorets list is a database of individuals they consider enemies of Ukraine, who they claim are working against Ukraine's national interests. It has been repeatedly criticised by human rights organisations as violating press freedoms and endangering journalists. Some critics have characterised Myrotvorets as a "kill list", and alleged it is funded by the Ukrainian SBU.

I have blurred out their personal information for obvious reasons.

After nearly 3 months of intense battles, the Russian offensive into Orikhiv has failed, and the city is now back under full Ukrainian control.

Fighting has since shifted to the Novodanylivka area, where Ukrainian forces are attempting to increase their presence within the grey-zone and dislodge Russian forces from the southern half of the village. A stalemate remains in Mala Tokmachka, with Ukrainian forces controlling approximately half of the town.

Axios reports that, following the Republican defeat in the midterm elections, the U.S. is completing preparations for their next wave of strikes on Iran, and is sending more military assets to the Middle East in preparation for the potential order to be given.

One of Trump's former advisors told Axios "It's one thing to lose the midterms. But Trump doesn't want to look like a loser twice."
