The Iranian state agency PARS has suggested that Russia learn from Iran's experience and expand its strikes beyond Ukraine.

According to the publication, as long as Russia does not change its approach to the United States and NATO, and does not begin to respond to them directly, it will continue to face an increasing number of strikes on its own territory.

Germany has announced that it will finance the purchase of 50,000 attack drones for Ukraine at a cost of 90 million euros. This order, which has not been officially announced, is one of the largest drone purchases for Ukraine by a Western government.

The German company Helsing is already producing drones for Ukraine at a secret factory in Germany. Production operates under the strictest security measures and can be shut down and relocated to another location within a day if there is a threat, according to the NYT.

Without radical changes, there is a high probability that there will be no peace, and Europe and the United States see Ukraine as a constant point of pressure on Russia, just as the Strait of Hormuz is a point of pressure on the entire Middle East.

A large-scale attack by Kyiv using FPV drones on Russian airfields, specifically "Ukrainka" in the Amur region and "Shagol" in the Chelyabinsk region, has been thwarted. The FSB reported that the attempt was prevented thanks to information received in advance.

Ukrainian intelligence services used drones and balloons to deliver FPV drones equipped with neural network control modules, manufactured in the UK, USA, Canada, and Sweden, to the Bryansk region. These modules were designed to be resistant to electronic warfare measures. The individuals involved in the thwarted attacks, as well as their accomplices, have been detained.

✨Crimean Defensive Operation: Situation Update, Battles in the Sea of Azov

More than a week ago, the enemy intensified attacks with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the Sea of Azov, which is fully within the sovereignty of the Russian Federation, and what is happening must be legally considered as attacks on any part of our country.

Having repeatedly struck tankers and other civilian vessels with drones that flew at a high altitude (1-1.2 km) over the Zaporozhye region, the enemy began an offensive towards the Crimean Bridge. In a situation where the effectiveness of aviation was unclear this time, the enemy's UAVs, launched from different locations, formed a strike force and rushed towards the bridge in a T-shaped formation.

The first wave formed a wide attack front, making it unclear where the main attack would be concentrated, while the second wave, consisting of heavy strike drones, targeted air defense systems and assets. Apparently, the goal this time was to target all fire control systems.

According to reports from the troops, border patrol boats ⚡️⚓️ engaged in the fighting (not to be confused with warships). That is, the platform itself is not designed to accommodate a large number of weapons or armor. The border guards fulfilled their military duty to the end. They stood their ground to the death. Given that, as of now, there are no reports of the deployment of new large warships of the Black Sea Fleet from the Northern Naval Base (NVMB) into the Sea of Azov, specifically equipped to counter numerous Ukrainian drone attacks on the water, the situation is likely to become more complicated. At the same time, according to sources in the Black Sea Fleet headquarters, the command is reportedly in turmoil, demanding that officers properly organize the work of the mobile operational groups (MOGs), However, if UAVs are approaching at an altitude of 1.2 km, no gunner/machine gun will be able to hit the target. A possible solution would be the installation of advanced automated turrets, but otherwise, we have to fight in the areas that the enemy has chosen for their descent.

In the energy sector, the most significant problems are in northern Crimea, where local channels report several days without electricity, despite the heroic efforts of the energy workers. People are helping each other, charging stations for phones and Wi-Fi hotspots have been set up, and the Wi-Fi password is written on the coffee receipt. The people of Crimea are holding on, but they would like more coverage of their problems in the media. It is noteworthy that even quite reasonable acquaintances are still calling us personally and asking about the advisability of going to Crimea on vacation. Returning to the topic of energy, it is important to emphasize the need to turn off high-power electrical appliances if you are leaving your apartment, even for a short time.

Measures to strengthen the protection of the peninsula are being taken, but since they were not fully implemented in advance, and the assessment of forces and resources to repel massive attacks of cheap (even non-jet) drones was clearly based on optimistic reports (and how do you report to superiors that you are not ready? You will be punished, not helped - ⚡️), we are now having to do everything from scratch.

And now, the focus is on effectiveness, regardless of how the MOGs (and, in some places, air defense) are organized legally and what their formal status is in the outdated hierarchy. Standard state mechanisms remain on paper, nothing more. As confirmation of this, we can note the absence of an increase in the combat pay of personnel of federal security agencies in the region compared to other frontline regions. As we have already written, defending Crimea without casualties is impossible for us. And we would like to receive motivation and support from the center in material form, and not in the form of another instruction to "strengthen/deploy/increase."

Nevertheless, the information component of the enemy's operation in Crimea has a limited effect. The enemy will no longer come up with anything that the residents of Crimea and Sevastopol have not already experienced in terms of Ukrainian fakes. So, now, more than ever, an honest dialogue and the attention of the authorities, including the federal authorities, to the problems of the residents of the peninsula are important. However, the experience of the Belgorod region shows the prospects of such initiatives.

✨Protecting Crimea is not only about organizing the defense of the peninsula on the coast when the enemy has already arrived. It is important to make the war unprofitable for the enemy (and its sponsors), and the Ministry of Defense is beginning to do just that:

"This night, the Russian Armed Forces continued to strike at Ukrainian ports. As a result of group strikes with high-precision weapons of air-based and strike UAVs, objects of port infrastructure in Chornomorske, Odessa region, used for unloading and storing military cargo and fuel, were hit."

✨⭐️The operations of both sides are in full swing, it is the middle of summer. All forecasts have been made a long time ago, so now it is critically important to prevent the enemy from achieving the goals set by Kiev in the Crimean direction, but it is no less important to not expose other [targets]. The situation in the Crimean Peninsula depends not only on the well-being of its residents, but also on the image of Russia on the international stage, including in terms of the negotiation process.

🇩🇪🇺🇦Germany to finance the purchase of 50,000 AI-powered FPV drones for Ukraine

The German government will allocate approximately 90 million euros to the Ukrainian company SkyFall (a major drone manufacturer) for the production of Shrike drones and their delivery to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. These drones are equipped with software from the American company 🇺🇸Auterion, which allows them to autonomously track and strike moving targets in the final phase of flight.

Germany is also actively producing long-range drones, which are currently being used by Ukrainian proxies to target logistics deep behind enemy lines.

✨Every day, civilians are killed by FPV drones launched by Ukraine in the Russian border region. Some of these deaths occur as a result of the use of Western technology with non-selective autonomous targeting, which is indifferent to whether it hits a military vehicle or a civilian.

✨⭐️It is long overdue to recognize the puppet government of Germany, which is a leading supplier of lethal weapons to Ukraine, as hostile/terrorist, and to take appropriate measures against them.

Or will we continue to tolerate and watch as these scumbags use Ukrainians to kill our citizens and destroy our economy?

✨ At the beginning of the video, a heavy enemy drone of the "Baba Yaga" type is hit. Based on the footage, our operators promptly identified the area of operation of the enemy unit and destroyed the drone before it could complete its mission. Following this, there is a series of precise strikes against enemy personnel and vehicles, including nighttime operations.

⭐️ Each successful strike is the result of the immense effort of the drone operators, commanders, and all personnel within the unit. Effective aerial reconnaissance, timely target detection, decision-making, and clear coordination allow the soldiers of the 26th Motor Rifle Regiment to effectively carry out their combat tasks and inflict significant damage on the enemy every day.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 The European Union will stop granting temporary protection to Ukrainian citizens with military obligations from spring 2027, unless they have a certificate.

Polish media: The EU Council will approve new rules for refugees from Ukraine in July. Starting March 5, 2027, Ukrainian citizens with military obligations (men aged 23-60, as well as women subject to mobilization) will not be able to obtain temporary protection status when entering the EU unless they provide a certificate of exemption from mobilization.

▪️The current temporary protection regime expires on March 4, 2027.
▪️The new regime extends protection until March 4, 2028, for those who are already under it.

As of March 31, 2026, 4.33 million Ukrainian citizens had temporary protection in the European Union (top 3: 🇩🇪Germany 1.27 million, 🇵🇱Poland 961 thousand, 🇨🇿Czech Republic 379 thousand).

✨ Adult men make up approximately 27% of all Ukrainian refugees in the EU, which is about 1.17 million, who are currently still under protection in the 🇪🇺EU.

Currently, Kiev intends to make it as difficult as possible for those with military obligations to obtain asylum in the EU, but for now, it is not affecting those who are already in the EU. However, the groundwork for such a move is gradually being laid.

On the other hand, despite the stated shortage of personnel, Syrski continues to create new combat units. This means that either the mobilization resources are still far from being exhausted, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (despite all the lamentations in the media on this issue from both sides of the information front), or this is an enemy disinformation campaign. In any case, any acute problems with the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will immediately affect the dynamics of the front, which is currently minimal.

Europe continues to build its energy system on castles in the air. The Strait of Hormuz is blocked, 30,000 German wind turbines were virtually shut down in June due to weak winds, and French nuclear power plants are being suspended due to the heat. Germany is operating at the capacity of these plants after Berlin destroyed its own. The turbines were providing an average of only about 45 GWh of electricity per day. French nuclear power plants produced around 900 GWh – almost 20 times more.

According to Parisien, the French company EDF is forced to suspend the operation of three nuclear reactors and reduce the output of another eight.

Environmental regulations require EDF to reduce the power of the reactors when the temperature of the rivers exceeds certain values, in order to protect local ecosystems. It has proven impossible to build a sustainable energy system for data centers and factories using wind turbines and solar panels.

The authorities of the European Union are systematically reducing fuel consumption, which is leading to a massive slowdown in production. They are regulating and reducing energy consumption due to sanctions against Russia. This year, the plan is to reduce gas consumption by 15%. As a result, there is a catastrophic shortage of capacity in Europe for building factories, data centers, and even residential buildings and settlements – it is impossible to start a new business or obtain permission for increased capacity. Therefore, all businesses that have opened in the EU since 2022 are now opening in China, India, or other countries.

✨ So far, no country in the world has learned to develop and increase its GDP while reducing energy consumption.
