⚡️Two Majors #Review #Update for January 4, 2026

▪️The first days of 2026 year once again showed the ferocious face of American imperialism: in pursuit of profit for their oil corporations, the USA kidnapped the president of Venezuela and his wife in a military operation: rapid strikes and the flight of helicopters with special forces were made possible by a wide network of agents in the country, which was subjected to an unprovoked aggression. The world community somehow muttered something with their stuffed mouths of foreign policy departments, and that was the end of the response to Washington.

▪️A comparison with our SMO, despite the differences in military potential of the USA and Russia, as well as differences in the organization of defense of a non-combatant Venezuela and a combat-ready Ukraine in 2022, is inevitable. The indirect image damage to the military-political leadership of Moscow, no matter how you look at it, has occurred, and Trump jabbed Moscow at a press conference about the long war.

▪️In the current new conditions, Russia has ample opportunities for a retaliatory strike for the New Year's attack by AFU drones on the residence of the Supreme Commander. Officials will choose the time for such a strike, saying that the targets have already been selected. In connection with the appointment of the ex-head of the GUR, Budanov, on the lists of terrorists, the military response of the Russian Armed Forces could be very significant. Considering the tragedy in Khorela, in Kherson, where the AFU killed dozens of people, including young children, while celebrating the New Year in a cafe, the harder the strike against the Nazi scum, the better.

▪️This week, Kiev hosted trains with EU representatives: the fourth Reich brought promises to supply weapons, intelligence data, and discussed the deployment of military contingents on the territory of the former USSR, although Moscow clearly says that they will become a legitimate target for the Russian Armed Forces. Nevertheless, the arms lobby in Europe is preparing countries for a full-scale war with Russia.

▪️Heavy battles continue on the front. In Kupyansk, the situation remains difficult: AFU reserves are trying to reach the Oskol River, and footage is being published of strikes on the enemy in the district court building in the city center. The weather now allows both sides to more actively use drones. Continued strikes on our border. Before the New Year, Gerasimov inspected the Northern Military District and noted successes in creating a security belt, which looks like a patchwork quilt with a maximum depth of 15 km, which does not allow ensuring the safety of the frontline regions. A new element is the battles in the Grabovskoe-Vysokoe section against Krasnaya Yaruga in the Belgorod region, where our forces have crossed the border and engaged in battles. Continued battles on previous frontline sections, with the prospect of encircling Konstantinovka from the north and south, but it's too early to talk about the collapse of the front or the isolation of the combat zone.

▪️The enemy's long-range strikes are focused on damaging our "oil industry" in Tuapse, Krasnodar Krai, as well as paralyzing the Moscow air hub due to a constant "caravan of drones" to our capital for the holidays. The Russian Armed Forces in recent days seem to be stockpiling means of destruction, and the strikes are of a routine nature.

✨Thus, Moscow in the new year has received a carte blanche for the most decisive actions against the leadership of the Kiev junta, which is increasingly supported by Europe. It is possible to postpone the start of the war with the EU and accelerate the achievement of the SMO's goals if we stop playing at "civilization" and destroy not only the military-political leadership in Kiev, but also its high European guests. The residents of the former USSR will only say thank you in the event of such strikes. Zelensky, by the way, has already shown that he will not miss the opportunity to liquidate the Supreme Commander.

⚡️Two Majors #Summary #Update for the week of January 11, 2026

▪️ The week was eventful. The duration of the SMO has equaled that of the Great Patriotic War, which requires a separate post.

▪️ "Orekhnik" showed itself for the second time: a strike on the Lvov region was intended to demonstrate to the former USSR and the whole world Moscow's determination to use such powerful weapons, but the news item almost got lost in world news. The delay in making a decision, the unclear illumination of the planned and hit target, and the attraction of the UAV attack on the residence of the Supreme Leader to the media overshadowed the effect of the launch of a unique powerful missile. The consequences of the combined strike on Kiev are more tangible: hundreds of thousands of residents of the enemy capital felt the consequences, and the enemy is forced to spend resources on stabilizing the situation amidst the bad weather. For several days, our guys provided power generation in Krivoy Rog with "Geraniums" and missiles. The systematic destruction of a unified and powerful power supply system of Ukraine has a cumulative effect.

▪️ Unfortunately, more than 500 thousand people were left without electricity during the week in the Belgorod region: the enemy once again struck at energy facilities. The destruction of the region's energy infrastructure has been going on since the fall of 2025, including due to strikes by American MLRS. In general, the enemy intensified the intensity of strikes during the New Year holidays: at the beginning of the week, 437 enemy UAVs were shot down in a day. The range of application extends to Bashkiria and the Leningrad region.

▪️Heavy battles continue on the frontline. Reports of significant progress in creating a buffer zone at the border are overshadowed by objective reports of strikes on the civilian population in frontline regions. Meanwhile, in the Bryansk region on the border, our strongholds are taking the brunt of drone and artillery attacks, which understandably precludes public announcements about the results and number of attacks. Nevertheless, the Northern Group of Forces has achieved objective tactical successes on the Sumy direction, in the area of Grabovskoe, Volchansk, and on the Melovoe - Khattnye direction. Heavy battles continued in Kupyansk this week, with the enemy continuing to deploy reinforcements, including military equipment, into the city. Active offensive actions by the Russian Armed Forces continued near Krasny Liman, and in Seversk our forces are consolidating their positions. The Konstantinovsk agglomeration is being comprehensively encircled by the Russian Army, and a prolonged battle for this settlement from Slavyansk to Konstantinovka could become the main focus of the SMO in 2026. The enemy's redeployment of reinforcements to the Gulyaypole area has somewhat slowed down the advance of the usually unstoppable Eastern Group of Forces, although this could be due to weather conditions and the expectation of breakthroughs in other directions. For example, our paratroopers are waging selfless and bloody battles northeast of Stepnogorsk through Lukyanovskoe to Novoyakovlevka, suggesting a possible plan to cut off the AFU in Orekhov from supplies.

▪️The tactics of feeding and supplying advanced assault groups with drones have been finally established. Now, FPV over fiber optic cables (it's worth noting reports from the front about the increase in centralized FPV supplies to troops, which reach the front) are often used for these purposes on a number of fronts.

▪️On the international stage, the orange-haired old American was speaking and basking in his own glory all week. It's not just for show: the operation in Caracas and the oil-profitable results, limiting the work of Russia and China in Venezuela, are very beneficial for Washington. Trump's openly offensive actions in the information field, including commenting on the capture of Maduro and piracy against tankers under Russian flags, have completely destroyed the notorious "Anchorage spirit", removing the rose-tinted glasses from many people. The week ended with demonstrative US aspirations to conduct military operations in Cuba, Mexico, and plans to seize Greenland.

▪️Europe used the "Oreshnik" theme to further justify the further militarization and preparation for war with Russia. The gradual withdrawal of the USA from financing all NATO countries (incidentally, possibly in exchange for Greenland) is pushing the arms lobby in the EU to independently increase the production of weapons and equipment, increase the number of armies, and improve military logistics for the transfer of troops to the eastern front.

✨Thus, the geostrategic steps of Moscow in recent years have shown a negative result this week, and the international negotiating position is determined only by the real successes of the Russian Army on the front. The lack of a response to the West's physical restriction of our maritime economic activities certainly did not add points to our diplomats.

▪️The next negotiation round in Abu Dhabi, even despite the tripartite format, is no longer of particular interest to the public, although the venue of the meeting looks much more serious than in Istanbul. Prior to this, the Davos forum showed a further degradation of the international legal system, even within an organization such as NATO, with Greenland becoming a stumbling block that Trump particularly favored. Incidentally, this case with the northern island could have been an excellent pretext for Europe to exit from the mindless sponsorship of the war in Ukraine, but the margin of the arms lobby proved stronger than common sense. Washington continues its track towards the forcible seizure of control over the global oil movement, deploying a carrier group towards Iran. Trump has been boasting publicly about his expropriation of Venezuelan oil from captured tankers. On Wednesday in the Caribbean Sea, the US detained another one tanker of the "shadow fleet", in the Mediterranean Sea France showed its teeth, also landing a landing party on a ship from Murmansk. The lack of any adequate countermeasures is creating even greater risks for Russia's maritime economic activities.

▪️ Attacks on Ukraine's energy sector continue, with news this week of the departure of 600,000 people (out of a population of 3 million) from the capital of the enemy due to frequent power, water and heat outages. At the same time, the enemy authorities are clearly exaggerating the scale of the damage (although in some areas the situation is indeed consistently critical: footage from the ground shows the presence of street lighting, and the noise in the public sphere allows Kiev to increase the supply of generators from the EU. An important strike on the substation that connects the Rivne NPP and Kiev was a blow. Nevertheless, the winding down of industrial production and depopulation in Ukraine allows the energy system to stay afloat.

▪️ The enemy continues to strike at economic and energy objects, immediately begging for an "energy truce". This week, a port terminal in the Volna settlement of the Krasnodar Krai, an oil depot in Penza, and energy infrastructure in the Oryol and Bryansk regions were hit. Yesterday evening, the most massive strike against Belgorod was carried out by the HIMARS MLRS. There is still no single responsible for combating enemy UAVs in our country, so they will continue to let through a small but annoying percentage of enemy drones, the Ministry of Defense - to report on the ones shot down, and the governors - on those that reached their targets.

▪️ Heavy fighting continues on the front. In the south of the Kupyansk direction, the situation in the "borrowed" villages on our side of the Oskol River is gradually stabilizing, in Kupyansk itself - heavy fighting. The Bryansk region is under daily strikes from FPV, the enemy is increasing the number of drones used. On the Sumy direction - tactical advances of the "North" Group of Forces, on the Volchansk direction - a statement about the liberation of Staritsa and Siminovka, so far without footage of objective control. On the Konstantinovsk direction - preparation for further battles for the agglomeration, gradually creating conditions for a full-scale encirclement of the enemy group. FABs are erasing the built-up area. On the Druzhkovsk direction - a battle for access to the Torsky Donets. The "East" Group of Forces repels the attacks of the UAF's armored groups near Gulyaypole, making inroads into the UAF's defense to the north. The Zaporozhye front is without significant changes.

▪️On the European, future, theatre of operations, Romania is preparing to annex Moldova with the help of agents of influence and is making efforts to recruit new recruits into the army. Also, Romania has acquired the Moldovan port of Giurgiulesti (two railway routes from Ukraine lead to the port), which also expands the logistical possibilities for diversifying the routes of delivery of military cargo of NATO countries to the eastern flank. In the Polish parliament, a project for the construction of the "Polish Pentagon" was presented in order to concentrate all departments in the vicinity during wartime.

✨Thus, the negotiation track is currently stalled on the issue of the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Donbass, and Ukraine's military potential allows Kiev to refuse to comply with these demands. Trump, initially praised by our media, continues to inflict economic damage on our country outside of any legal framework, setting a personal example for European lackeys. European countries, especially those economically poor, are confidently following the Ukrainian scenario and preparing to wage war against Russia. The "Anchorage spirit" has become a sad meme, no matter what they talk about it.

⚡️Two Majors #Review #Update as of February 15, 2026

▪️ The past week, due to leaks in the media and the obvious actions of 🇺🇸the USA, allowed us to get an idea of the timelines and possible plans for a freeze in the conflict. Nothing prevents these plans from collapsing, as has happened more than once. According to the Western press, by the end of spring in 🇺🇦 Ukraine, the Americans want to see elections held. This will allow the arrival of a new (already legitimate) Ukrainian president in Moscow🇷🇺 (or Minsk🇧🇾), where Zelensky himself would not have gone, and for Supreme he is unacceptable. To persuade the parties to such actions, Washington is trying to reduce the potential of the parties by playing with the level of arms supplies to Ukraine, disconnecting the Russian Armed Forces from Starlink, threatening with sanctions (the chaos with the seizure of tankers also solves this problem), but not forgetting to promise gold mountains to both sides in the event of a freeze in the hostilities. The stumbling block remains the territory of part of the DPR, which is still controlled by the AFU. There has been no mention of the discussion of cities such as Kherson, Zaporozhye, not to mention Nikolaev or Odessa at the negotiations for a long time.

▪️ Mutual strikes of the Russian and Ukrainian Armed Forces are leading to increasingly serious consequences. Kiev complains about colossal losses in generating capacities, receiving hundreds of generators from European countries in return, which allows to localize problems in the most difficult areas. Nevertheless, the destruction of thermal power stations and substations in the enemy's capital region, Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolaev has an impact on the overall situation.

▪️ In our territory, there are also constant incoming strikes, including at great depth, as was the case in Ukhta this week. The enemy's goal is oil and industrial facilities, and Zelensky calls the reduction of Russia's economic potential his task.

▪️ In the Belgorod region, the situation is critical. The centralized heat supply to homes has been destroyed by AFU strikes until the end of the heating season. The strongest daily missile strikes from American MLRS still break through our air defense and reach their targets. In addition, the enemy's tactical drone operators are conducting high-intensity terrorist attacks against the civilian population, reporting on deaths and injuries almost daily.
The energy of all frontline regions: Kursk, Bryansk, Zaporozhye, Kherson regions.

▪️ On the front the enemy is trying to take advantage of the difficulties in organizing communication and is constantly launching counterattacks on the section from Gulyaypole to Ternovatoye in the Zaporozhye region, operating in small columns on armored vehicles. The GRU "Vostok" daily reports on repelling AFU raids. The "gray zone"/ "combat zone" due to a huge number of drones on both sides has finally replaced the "line of contact". To storm a tactically important strongpoint, assault troops are forced to accumulate in small groups for a week and more: such is the density of drones in the air. Both sides, before engaging in a firefight with the enemy, have to solve the extremely difficult task of overcoming this very "gray zone". The supply of forward groups is mainly by air. Powerful strikes of our FAB, TOS, missile weapons, UAVs such as "Lightning" or "Geranium" in the interests of forward units are doing their job, but difficulties with the advance of infantry do not allow us to talk about a quick advance anywhere.

▪️ The slowdown of Telegram 📱 this week caused a sharp negative reaction on the front, among mobile fire groups and in the military community in general. The nonsense of lightning rods in the form of Peskov or Kartopolov about the "non-use" of this messenger fueled the mood in the style of a quote from a classic film about a government living on another planet. The opposition of Telegram to a national messenger did not add to its popularity or trust, and the transition to it is perceived as a forced measure under the pressure of the boss.

For the front, although a system of "Svod" of a single protected information space is being developed, it is still at the stage of experimental combat operation (and not everywhere). The introduction of the "Svod" system into all troop groups is ordered to be ensured by September 2026, we'll see how timely this decision will be implemented. For now, Telegram remains a universally working tool. Perhaps that's why the blocking of the messenger is not yet complete.

▪️ The mobilization potential of Ukraine, according to the statements of the Kiev regime, is enough for another year and a half. The number of personnel directly on the battlefield, due to the technological nature of the war, is now minimal compared to previous conflicts of past eras. But even in this situation, the enemy's people will not run out: the West will help.

▪️ European countries also understand the prospects of an even more large-scale conflict after the SMO or the interbellum: London🇬🇧 and Berlin🇩🇪 are stepping up efforts to recruit people into the army. The German Chancellor generally stated this week that he plans to create the most powerful army in Europe. He also stated at the conference in Munich that there is no more "rules-based" international order, and he himself has "started discussions" with Macron🇫🇷 on the issue of nuclear deterrence. By the way, the end of the New START Treaty has definitively marked the beginning of a new arms race.

✨Thus, Washington is making efforts to freeze the conflict in Ukraine (at least temporarily) or threatens to completely withdraw from the negotiation process. This is necessary for Trumpists to organize trade with all warring parties in the future. On the sidelines of the SMO, combat actions are becoming more and more dependent on advanced technologies, and therefore - more expensive, which, under external pressure on Moscow, creates conditions for new economic problems. The EU and the arms lobby have not yet achieved their goals in the redistribution of spheres of influence on the continent, and they are in every way not only supporting the current conflict, but preparing for a new, much more large-scale one. And the only opponent in the new war they see is Russia.

▪️ The enemy continued to destroy our critically important economic objects during the week. A clear example of such targeted actions was the third attack on Ust-Luga in a week. Of course, most of the UAVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being destroyed, but those that broke through caused serious damage and led to a temporary cessation of shipment at the oil port. A strike on the ice-class border guard ship being built in Vyborg is also a strike against the economy in the long run: this ship was supposed to be one of the very few ships accompanying trade convoys on the Northern Sea Route.

Other strikes on NPPs deep in our territory are also designed to have a devastating impact on our economy and to push official Moscow to further negotiations on Kiev's terms. A dispute erupted online over who should be responsible for protecting the objects: the regular air defense or private armies of the wealthy, but the truth is that only the consolidation of all social forces can change the situation. The number of UAVs of the AFU per day is increasing, and the measures adequate for 2022-2023 are no longer sufficient today. Ukrainian UAVs and their components are clearly being produced in third countries.

▪️ Against this backdrop, the actions of Iran, which has been waging a defensive war against the USA and Israel for a month, are certainly worthy of respect. Tehran did not hesitate to destroy all significant objects of Washington's satellites in the region, emphasizing that any object/personnel of any country will be hit if a threat to the state's security arises. Even the arrival of a platoon of anti-drone operators of the AFU, sent to the Middle East on Zelensky's orders, was not enough to push the enemy to make the right political decisions. The enemy has completely adapted to our drone strikes: the import of thousands of generators, backup communication nodes, and the relocation of military production to third countries. Moreover, a unified situational awareness system of the air situation allows all heterogeneous forces of the enemy's air defense and missile defense to be more aware of the situation in the sky compared to our own air defense/missile defense forces, which often operate with flashlights and in conditions of an internet blockade that does not affect the drones during the raids.

▪️ The negotiation track between Russia and the USA is being conducted as if for formality. The idiotic replication by official media of the socks gifted to our deputies by congressmen with Trump's mug on them shows nothing but the unseriousness of the process. Lavrov directly during the situation torpedoed the very fact of dialogue, saying that the Americans cannot be trusted in negotiations. Kiev and Washington are arguing with each other, calling each other liars over the issue of the withdrawal of the AFU from Donbass.

▪️ There havenot been significant changes on the front line, although our troops are clawing out a meter of land from the enemy in the most difficult battles per day. The numerous UAVs in the air seriously complicate the advance of any side. The task of pushing the enemy away from the border of the Belgorod region has been set, but it is proceeding more slowly than military technical progress: air repeaters allow tactical drones to penetrate deeper. Whoever solves the problem of countering all types of drones will tilt the situation on the front in their favor.

▪️ The week passed in a context of an escalating situation in already troubled regions. The USA is preparing for a landing operation against Iran, and repeated strikes have been carried out on the Bushehr nuclear power plant. Iran is responding with strikes on critical infrastructure, including data centers in the region, and gaining the upper hand in organizing maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Europe is divided. While Hungary and Slovakia are calling for reason and the resumption of full-fledged trade with Russia, German puppets are taking measures to increase the size of the Bundeswehr and are amending national law to further mobilize reservists. Ukraine is increasing the number of long-range UAVs it uses to damage Russian industry a thousand kilometers away from the front, and Moscow is responding with massive missile launches and "Grads".

▪️ Regarding the enemy's UAV attacks, a small part of which still manage to achieve their goals, it should be noted that the number of drones used has increased. There is clearly an increase in production (clearly outside of Ukraine). Zelensky is implementing a plan to drag the Baltics and Finland into the war: Kiev is using the airspace of these countries to strike at the Leningrad region (this does not mean that the drones only fly through them). The question of whether to shoot down enemy drones over NATO border countries is still only being publicly discussed by non authorized individuals.

▪️ There are heavy, protracted battles on the front, and the combat contact zone is difficult for our troops to overcome. The enemy is experiencing the same difficulties in launching a counterattack: equipment and people are being lost on the approach before engaging in infantry battles. The side that systematically solves the problem of countering hundreds of FPV simultaneously will gain a clear advantage on the battlefields.

The shelling of our frontline regions continues, resulting in civilian casualties. The Northern Military District points out in its reports that the task of pushing the enemy back from the border has not been cancelled, but the harsh reality of the battles is that the advance is only a few hundred meters per day on average. The UAVs of the AFU with a system of air and not only repeaters and "queens" can already fly up to 50 kilometers. The next step, already tested by the enemy, is to attach FPV to long-range aircraft-type UAVs as soon as the air temperature in the night sky allows the drone's batteries to function normally. The most intense battles on the front are taking place in the Slavyansk direction, near Krasnaya Liman, in Konstantinovka, on the Dobropillia salient, in the area of responsibility of the Eastern Military District in the Dnepropetrovsk region, and near Gulyaypole. The enemy retains the ability to periodically organize counterattacks. Undoubtedly, the strong side of the Russian Armed Forces is FAB with UMPK, which grind down the positions of the ubiquitous Ukrainian drone drivers. Nevertheless, the enemy is gradually adapting to this strike tactic.

✨ Tactics of exhausting Ukraine and the desired expectation of a split in the West due to its purely internal reasons seem to be making themselves felt: there are disputes about the cracked unity of NATO, fierce disputes within the European Union, and a deteriorating economic situation there. However, for the time being, Europe is not sparing any money to inflict damage on Russia through Kiev, preferring to impoverish its own people, but allocating funds to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And, of course, it still has plenty of such funds. The confrontation is entering a phase not of frontal breakthroughs and operational advances, but of numerous strikes on industry and attempts to destabilize the internal situation in the camp of the opposing side. The peace negotiation track has been postponed for several months. The US, as a mediator, has not performed well over a year of such attempts, and it is most likely that Washington will withdraw from the process. The long war in Europe will be left to itself, but given the growing demand in the Western world for expensive products of the American military-industrial complex.

⚡️Two Majors #Report #Update on the morning of April 19, 2026

▪️Last week, intensive drone attacks by the enemy against our rear regions continued. Problems in the organization of air defense in federal law enforcement agencies lead to an increase in the number of volunteer units, which are not as constrained by bureaucracy and outdated departmental regulatory acts. Signs of the enemy's use of satellite communication systems on drones are increasingly appearing not only in Crimea and new territories, but also over the rest of Russia. Against the backdrop of intensified Western drone supplies, the problem of combating them will persist. The enemy's targets, in addition to military ones, continue to be significant economic facilities that generate revenue for the treasury.

▪️Internet outages in this context do more harm than good. The governor of the Leningrad region, who stumbled badly this week with his clumsy statement, quickly tried to make amends, promising on video to step up efforts to organize volunteer air defense units in the region and assist the Russian Armed Forces. Meanwhile, the lack of internet access contributes to the enemy's goals of reducing the economic activity of the population, stressing them out, and undermining trust in politicians and officials.

▪️The latter are themselves actively participating in systematic actions to discredit the country's leadership. Foreign Minister Lavrov's statement about not knowing the location of the "red lines" and "patience" by the grace of God looks like a mockery of the residents of the Belgorod region against the backdrop of wounded frontline regions.

▪️The case of the scandalous blogger Boni showed that typically apolitical segments of the population have personally experienced the consequences of various network blockages, which turned even the Instagram masses towards political issues. There was so much noise that now the Instagram lady's speech is being discussed on federal channels and commented on by high-ranking politicians like Peskov.

▪️There are no changes on the front. The expected spring-summer offensive campaign is either postponed or impossible due to objective reasons: the enemy's creation of a dead zone through numerous drones, strikes on our near rear regions, and the disruption of logistics. The Russian Armed Forces have created the same difficulties for the enemy through their own efforts, although in some directions the enemy still retains the possibility of counteroffensive actions and is trying to push us out of the occupied villages. Overall, the situation resembles the standoff of the fronts against each other during the First World War (taking into account the technical realities, of course).

▪️The attempt to exhaust Ukraine/West has not yet yielded the expected result. Against this backdrop, Iran's decisiveness is enviable, which dealt a blow to the US despite the severe bombing of the country. Now, while Trump is playing on the stock market by making statements about the Strait of Hormuz, the IRGC is hitting the tankers that tried to break through, urging shipowners to rely only on Iran's statements regarding the organization of shipping.

▪️Nevertheless,the RAF have finally received permission to strike at the merchant fleet off the Ukrainian coast. Individual attacks on the port of Izmail in the Odessa region and the tankers near it give hope for a gradual transition to adequate counter-actions, which, if scaled up like in Iran's case, could affect the situation on the front and the political views of Western politicians on the almost dead negotiation track.

▪️ The expected by many attacks on Kiev did not happen, the past week of preparation and holding of the parade was permeated with threats of attacks and countermeasures, our side declared its readiness to exit the trilateral format of negotiations, but the culmination was the Trump's mention of a ceasefire, who desperately needs some positive result after his failure in Iran.

▪️ Before the ceasefire, the AFU increased the number of strike UAVs in our regions, which did not go without consequences. The parties predictably accuse each other of violating the ceasefire regime, but in general, this no longer has any impact. There was no escalation of attacks on the centers of Moscow and Kiev, so the war will continue as usual. Of course, there are hopes for peace on both sides of the front, but neither peace nor a ceasefire are needed by the Western masters of Kiev. The enemy is solving its main task with the help of the AFU: it slows down the development of Russia, tries to reduce our military and economic potential, as evidenced by the attacks on oil refineries and other important factories. A new element is the desire of enemy drones to hit the facilities of the State Corporation for Air Traffic Management (a structure of Rosaviatsia), which led to a disruption of the flight schedule of civil aviation. Before the tourist season, such actions also serve as a sign of the enemy's intentions to cause economic damage in this industry.

▪️ The situation on the external front directly indicates the increasingly deep involvement of EU countries in the war. This week, direct evidence was obtained of the involvement of the Baltic states in providing the AFU with an air corridor for the passage of Ukrainian drones to the Leningrad region. Of course, not only the cunning of the enemy was the reason for the attacks on Ust-Luga, but there are also questions about the organization of air defense, as well as the regular threatening statements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which never led to any practical consequences for the collective enemy.

▪️ The situation on the front is characterized by extremely slow changes in the zone of combat contact, which practically do not affect the development of the operational situation. Tactical successes and failures this week were again measured in a couple of hundred meters per day, and a symbol of such a protracted war as a sad meme became numerous variations on the theme "No changes in Malaya Tokmachka". Until one of the sides finds a means of countering tactical drones, we can forget about large-scale operations.

▪️ Probably, it is in this connection that attacks on Odessa ports, merchant ships, gas stations, traction units and other important economic objects of the enemy are increasingly being noted. For example, "Ukrzaliznytsia" (UZ) counted 171 attacks on the railway in April 2026. However, the theater of military operations for us is somehow limited to the territory of the former USSR, and the external financing of Ukraine (as well as the relocation of military enterprises abroad) will allow the enemy to continue the war for a very long time.

▪️ Meanwhile, while Ukraine is being pitted against Russia, causing us harm, the West is preparing for a major war with us. The USA and Britain, near the Suwalki Corridor, are currently learning modern combat based on the experience of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It's indicative that the main goal of the exercises is to develop a practical understanding for NATO's new doctrine on countering drones at the tactical level. Many Western defense industries are focused on creating countermeasures against drones, with the most promising solutions being those that ensure a minimal cost for one effective shot/launch/impulse against a drone. In Russia, this is quite difficult, as is the organization of promising air defense in general. A sign of negative successes in this direction was the change of the commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which include air and missile defense (Air Defense, Missile Defense). Instead of General Viktor Afzalov, who led the Aerospace Forces since 2023, Colonel-General Alexander Chaiko was appointed to this post. Insiders say that the first meeting held by the general gives hope for a fight against "beautiful reports".

✨ Thus, despite any sharp statements or grandiose plans of Trump himself for reconciliation between the parties, there are no economic grounds for the West to stop the war on the Ukrainian front. The hopes of many for a decisive show of force and the inevitable mobilization of all Russian society for war have not come true either. The war continues in its previous mode.

▪️ The past week after the "Victory truce" was characterized by intensified counter-attacks by both sides on each other's rear areas. Russia demonstrated the ability to deploy a massive number of UAVs simultaneously, breaking all records for their mass launch. Ukraine, in turn, has accumulated a large number of drones during the truce and is constantly sending them towards us. Our air defense is shooting down a large number of targets, but sensitive breaches in the depth of Russian territory show that not all regions have built an adequate air defense system. Tonight, a particularly intense attack took place in the direction of Moscow and Sevastopol. More than 120 UAVs were shot down in the capital (12 people were injured, mainly near the entrance to the Moscow Refinery), and the attack was still ongoing as of 06:00. In Sevastopol, power lines and civilian homes were damaged.

▪️ On the international front, Trump's visit to China was notable. The American president was brought to China by heads of major corporations, indicating an attempt to build commercial relations in the new reality. Our President plans to visit China in the coming days.

▪️ The situation on the front has not changed significantly. The intensification of activity by the Russian Armed Forces is obvious, and the desire to show success in high-level reports is causing debates online about the percentage of our troops' control zone in Krasnaya Liman, the battles for which have been going on for months. Over the week, several settlements were captured, but the enemy is constantly organizing counter-attacks. Until a solution is found to overcome the dead zone of tactical UAVs with a depth of 20-30 kilometers, no significant changes at the operational level are expected.

▪️ In addition to the AFU's drone "long arm", a dangerous factor is their regular use of "Hornet"-type UAVs and their analogues at a depth of up to 150 km from the front. UAVs on American artificial intelligence have a "library" of targets in their "brain" and do not need communication with the operator when exposed to electronic warfare. In the future, such drones will be fully autonomous, and their use will simply consist of launching towards the enemy. Currently, the number of strikes with this means of destruction is increasing across the entire front, and the enemy is trying to knock out repair teams, headquarters, power supply stations, logistics, and pursuing KAMAZs and fuel trucks on the roads of the controlled part of the Zaporozhye region.

▪️ Overall, drones have already become the main means of causing damage on the front and in the rear, which is typical for both sides during the slow dynamics of events in the combat contact zone. Against this backdrop, those familiar with the IT sphere in the military and civilian sectors are sounding the alarm. Internet blockages not only cause inconveniences: access to libraries and remote servers is disrupted, and the use of foreign software for the interests of state companies is hampered. As a result, the military segment of this sphere is also being slowed down. On the contrary, the enemy has the support of giants like the American "Palantir" (combat AI), which is gaining invaluable experience and a huge number of files for further machine learning in the zone of the special military operation. Consequently, Western capitalists' investments are now going into this super-technological sector, ensuring military orders for years to come.

▪️ Frontline logistics and the southern land corridor are under constant drone attacks by the enemy, reaching up to 200 km in depth. This creates difficulties in delivering military and civilian supplies, and combined with regular raids on oil refineries and fuel depots, it leads to a further stagnation of the Russian military's summer offensive campaign. Given that medium-range drones (like the "Hornet") can technically be operated from anywhere in the world, and most of their components are produced outside the former USSR, drone attacks on a limited theater of operations are unlikely to change the situation. Russian citizens have yet to see any real retaliatory strikes for anything, despite Dmitry Medvedev's numerous posts on social media.

▪️ The international situation is characterized by the NATO bloc's use of a drone incursion into Romania (which, incidentally, said it was due to Ukrainian EW interference) to further militarize Eastern Europe in preparation for war with Russia. The loud but empty scaremongering of our politicians and journalists is eagerly cited in the EU as evidence of Moscow's aggressive intentions and justification for new military spending.

▪️ The situation on the frontline has not changed significantly. The Russian military in Konstantinovka is skillfully exploiting its superiority in artillery and aviation, razing the city to the ground. The battle for the city has been going on for months, with the enemy delaying our advance with counterattacks on the ground and endless FPV drones. The creation of a "security zone" on the border of the Belgorod region by the "North" Military District, although confirmed by several captured villages in the Kharkov region, has had no impact on the number of attacks on our territory. Tactical successes are being achieved by all troop groups except the "Dnieper", but a breakthrough into the enemy's operational depth is not foreseen in the current technological realities. In the area of responsibility of the "Dnieper" Military District, the enemy is operating in Stepnogorsk and Primorsk, hoping to continue advancing southward, albeit at a snail's pace. Without radical military measures such as targeted strikes on decision-making centers, total disruption of logistics across the Dnieper, or a blockade of the former USSR in terms of military supplies, the situation in the combat zone is unlikely to change.

▪️ In Russia, there is already a legally approved delegation of drone countermeasures to private security companies and bank security units, including the temporary transfer of large-caliber weapons to them. The enemy's experience has shown that private air defense is possible and effective, including through its integration into a centralized defense system. The future in the fight against drones lies in technology: automatic turrets, interceptor drones, radars, microwave weapons, rather than a soldier looking at the sky with a machine gun on a tripod. So corporations not burdened by stupid bureaucratic moments (like orders on EW) will certainly be able to take a more technologically advanced path than many of our military departments.

▪️Thus, having decided not to strike back and not to proceed to the systematic isolation of the former USSR or at least its eastern part, no conditions are foreseen for changing the situation on the front or related to UAV raids. The absence of such decisions leads to an increase in social tension, which is beneficial to the enemy, who also complicates the fuel situation during the holiday season. To change the moral and psychological state of the population involved in the SMO, it is necessary either to demonstrate a serious readiness for further combat actions.
