RT @realErikDPrince: My team has the honor of helping the Haitian people restore security in their country. The gang leaders are now begging the Task Force we support to cease operations.

These gangs have murdered, raped, extorted, and mutilated tens of thousands of Haitians. They force children to commit atrocities and eat the hearts of humans in front of them. No words can capture the misery they’ve inflicted on the Haitian people.

On my latest trip to Port-au-Prince, I saw normal life coming back. Markets that were once shut down by gangs are now trading again. Police are on the streets. Kids are walking to school in uniform for the first time in years.

The latest UN report confirms that security forces backed by the PNH Task Force have halted the gangs’ advance in the capital and have made progress in pushing them back.

There is more to be done. We will continue to work through the Haitian government for the restoration of sovereignty and security to the Haitian people, and we will finish the job.

So to the gang leaders asking us to leave: choose life and surrender, otherwise expect consequences for your feral murderous behavior. The Task Force will continue helping the PNH reclaim territory, crush the forces of chaos , and end the reign of terror inflicted upon the vast majority of good, decent Haitians.

RT @TheStudyofWar: MORE: Ukraine has regained the operational initiative on most key battlefield directions and has been contesting Russia’s strategic initiative since late 2025, writes @nataliabugayova. ⬇️

Ukraine has slowed Russian battlefield advances to a footpace in 2026 and has grown the already staggering human cost of the Russian advance.

Ukraine has retaken significant territory from Russia in 2026, and at the theater level has nearly zeroed out Russian gains for the year. ISW has observed evidence to assess that Russian forces have only made a net gain of about 100 square kilometers thus far in 2026 thanks to Ukrainian counteroffensives, which have liberated at least 1,046 square kilometers, for example. The daily Russian net rate of advance in 2026 is so far less than a square kilometer per day — literal footpace. Russia’s summer offensive has failed. Russia’s fall offensive is likely to fail as well.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has failed to accomplish any of his stated war aims in Ukraine to date. Putin did not force the Ukrainian government to capitulate, nor did he destroy the Ukrainian military. Russia is nowhere close to taking the rest of the Donetsk region, including the Fortress Belt – one of Putin’s stated war aims.

Ukraine has forced the Kremlin to confront dilemmas inside of Russia that would have been unthinkable not long ago. Ukraine’s deep strike campaign has triggered fuel shortages in Russia, degrading at least 30 percent of its refining capacity, and forced Moscow to choose which infrastructure to protect with air defense assets. Ukrainian advances and strikes are challenging Putin’s promises of Russia’s economic stability, security, and greatness.

Ukraine’s 2026 battlefield progress is not transient or accidental — it is a result of Ukraine’s maturing warfighting capabilities and military transformation that occurred over 2025 and 2026. Ukraine has significantly grown its intermediate-range and deep-strike campaigns, expanded military production, matured operational art concepts, and is increasingly focused on the long-term warfighting strategy. Ukraine is working on its ballistic missile program, which, if successful, will put key Russian defense industrial and military infrastructure at even greater risk.

SPECIAL REPORT: The United States and Europe risk squandering the best opportunity since 2022 to alter Russia’s trajectory toward a longer and larger war. Ukraine currently has the best chance of seizing the strategic initiative against Russia since December 2022, while simultaneously facing the greatest risk to its momentum.

Russia’s ballistic missile and jet-powered drone campaign against Ukraine, alongside its growing kinetic attacks against NATO states, aims to drive Ukraine and its allies into a reactive stance and distract them from seizing a hard-won opportunity to hold the strategic initiative against Russia.

The Kremlin’s offer to supply diesel to global markets is a cognitive warfare effort that aims to disrupt the momentum of the effective pressure campaign against Russia’s energy sector.

The Kremlin is vigilant about Ukraine and its partners holding the initiative and seeks to deter and disrupt it at all costs.

The United States and Europe can either deny the Kremlin’s strategy or risk a greater war with greater escalation risks. - Institute for the Study of War
