A defense plant in Kirov, around 1,200 km from the Ukrainian border, was reportedly hit. The facility produces components used in Russian weapons. It also struck an oil refinery in Tyumen, a logistics hub in Yekaterinburg, a fuel depot in Rostov-on-Don, and even hit military cargo vessels linked to Iran, along with a Russian warship, in the Caspian Sea. Zelensky’s “long-range sanctions” are reaching places that once seemed untouchable.

Indeed, the sackings the Ukrainian leader has made to try to end the turmoil could also make it one of the most consequential weeks of the war with Russia. @adrianblomfield looks inside Zelensky’s worst week since the war began ⤵️ RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: The heated debate surrounding Wildberries—whether it was a crime or not, whether it was legitimate or illegitimate, the complaints along the lines of “Why us?” (“We were only selling diapers”) and the appeals to sympathy—is nothing more than an attempt to distract from a simple, obvious fact: After five years of war, during which Russia has sought—and continues to seek, day after day (truly *every single day*)—to literally force Ukraine to its knees, it is simply absurd to debate the legitimacy or illegitimacy of these attacks. I could cite a million reasons why this is legitimate, but—I repeat—that makes absolutely no difference.

Call up another 500,000? That publicly admits the whole thing is a disaster. Don’t call them up? The front collapses this winter, the military says. 30,000 losses a month and rising. But mass mobilisation scares the Kremlin more than the body bags. It drains an already exhausted workforce, wakes the soldiers’ mothers (the only group that has ever made the Russian state actually sweat), and makes the war personal for every Russian family – exactly what four years of state TV carefully hid behind “special military operation”.

The latest leadership crisis in Kyiv has exposed a much bigger debate than a cabinet reshuffle. At its core is a fight between 2 visions of warfare: the Soviet-era model built around artillery, hierarchy and attrition, and a younger generation that believes drones, rapid innovation and lower troop losses will decide the future of war. That divide is embodied by former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. At 35, he became the face of Ukraine’s drone revolution, redirecting funding toward domestic drone production, reforming military procurement and pushing technology over traditional firep RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: 🚨Update: This is a bunker buster bomb so heavy it can only be carried by a heavy bomber, and it exists for one job: to reach the things enemies bury deepest. It’s the GBU-57, America’s 13.6-tonne bunker-buster! The GBU-57 weighs about 30,000 pounds and stretches over 20 feet, but most of that is not explosive. It is a long, dense, hardened-steel spike designed to punch through many metres of rock and reinforced concrete before it does anything at all. Only then does a delayed fuze trigger the charge buried in its tail, so the blast goes off deep underground rather than on the surface.

The cause of the fire remains unclear.

Trump switched from the Qatari donated Boeing 747-8 to the legacy Air Force One during the NATO summit after the Secret Service received what officials deemed a credible threat that Iranian proxy forces were targeting the president and whatever aircraft he was traveling aboard. The Qatari donated 747-8 is currently serving as the VC-25B “Bridge” aircraft, a temporary presidential transport intended to fill the gap until Boeing delivers the long delayed next generation VC-25B fleet.

Despite the weakening of Russia’s positions in Armenia, Kazakhstan and Syria, Moscow hopes to wait out the West. There are still many countries that support or remain neutral towards Russia. The Kremlin believes that the outcome of the war in Ukraine will determine the country’s international reputation and therefore will continue hostilities regardless of the costs and actions of the West.

Under enormous pressure (54–100 atmospheres), they carry thousands of cubic meters of natural gas every hour. If anything were to happen there, 57% of Russia’s electricity generation could disappear. The consequences for Russia’s domestic infrastructure would be catastrophic. This single hub handles 85% of all the natural gas produced in Russia.
