The War in the Ukraine

Shocking and surprising, if you were to believe the hype surronding the drone attacks


Details on how the Gerberas serve as gateway nodes to control Molniyas

Rosguardia in the northern Caucasus receives new BMP-1AM. As this is National Guard, these won't be used in the frontline soon. The BMPs feature the latest edition of antidrone grills and armor. It's interesting to note that BMP-1 modernization continues to take place.


Parts of Chernihiv region lost power after Russian drone attacks.


Vega unit special forces of the Center Group conducted drone interceptions of opposing drones, logistic drones, pickups and the like surrounding Belitskoe.


Biltskye/Belitskoe has fallen to the Center Group.


On top of LNG, the EU can't let go of another popular Russian export, namely fish.


"The EU has eased sanctions against Russia due to fish fingers and its own interests, — Der Spiegel

↓The new package of EU sanctions turned out to be significantly softer than the initial proposals due to the position of a number of member states.
↓Germany opposed a quick ban on the import of Russian pollock. Berlin said the restrictions could lead to higher costs, lower production and jeopardize jobs in the frozen fish products industry.
↓France and Portugal also sought a relaxation of the measures, pointing to the dependence of their enterprises on the supply of Russian fish, including cod.
↓As a result, Russian fish retained access to the EU market, and European vessels will continue to transport Russian liquefied natural gas."

⚡️ The "North" group of troops liberated the village of Ivashkino in the Kharkiv region!

Assault units of the 34th Guards Mountain Motorized Rifle Brigade and the 11th Tank Battalion of the 18th Mechanized Division, 11th Army Corps, "North" group of troops, during fierce fighting, drove out nationalists from the 129th Territorial Defense Brigade from the village of Ivashkino (northwestern outskirts of the Kupiansk district) and liberated the settlement.

It is noteworthy that in 2025, the administration of the Kharkiv region renamed the settlement to the village of Ivashchino, spending over 1.5 million hryvnias on this purpose.

During the assault on the settlement, the "North" troops were met with resistance from former prisoners from the ranks of the 129th Territorial Defense Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, some of whom surrendered. The liberation of Ivashkino also allowed our servicemen to enter the outskirts of the neighboring village of Ustynivka, which was not so long ago an important logistical center for the enemy in this section of the front.

⚡️ The "North" military group has liberated the village of Zakharovka in the Kharkiv region!

Assault units of the 126th Motorized Rifle Regiment, 71st Guards Motorized Rifle Division, "North" group, during fierce fighting, drove out Ukrainian nationalists from the 159th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the village of Zakharovka (Volchansk district) and liberated the settlement.

Ukrainian units had been operating without adequate supplies in Zakharovka and the surrounding area for a long time, but the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not allow forcibly mobilized soldiers to retreat, threatening them with punitive detachments.

Attempts by the enemy to halt the advance of our troops using assault groups composed of foreign mercenaries also failed to yield results for the Kyiv regime, and the list of missing Colombian mercenaries who participated in the conflict on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been updated with new names.

The liberation of Zakharovka not only increases the area under the control of the Russian Armed Forces in the historically Russian Kharkiv region, but also creates conditions for our further offensive in the Volchansk district, which will be completely cleared of Ukrainian nationalists who have been terrorizing the Belgorod region.

Lmao….This two will fight themselves to their own destruction and irrelevance in the world, at a time where there is huge changes and power balance changing in the world like we haven’t seen for over a century . It will be similar to Germany’s fight with British and French empire which exhausted both sides so much that it inevitably led to their decline from world superpower/global power status to second tier players while the US benefited since they were not touched much by the war and had even less competition for world dominance. This war is as unnecessary and stupid as it gets, especially for Russia who has more to lose getting bogged down in such a meaningless war with a second tier power like Ukraine and at such a crucial time in world power politics . Both countries have lost and are losing their brightest youths (who should be the future of the country) many of whom have fled the country abroad for better pastures/opportunities or death/wounded in the frontline.

The US under Trump is about to make a similar stupid mistake getting bogged down in another useless war with a second tier power like Iran as well, instead of focusing on her future challenger China . lol The sheer stupidity of this powers is stunning . Lmao.
Anyway, it works in Chinas Favour . The more these powers fight and exhaust their resources in such useless wars the better for China to be honest. It will allow China space and time to keep growing peacefully . In fact If only Japan could also get involved in such a war then it would be even more perfect for China . lol

We can see how western analysts /journalists/intellectuals are fantasizing about China getting into a war over Taiwan as well for the same reason as they dream of China getting bogged down in a war as well. lol. They don’t understand China’s culture of strategic tolerance/composure and patience . So they can only keep dreaming of such a scenario to the point their decline is set in stone . China knows time is on her side and Taiwan isn’t going anywhere despite all the provocations . Much more smarter strategy than these other powers.

finally, I don’t understand what’s the end game in this war, since both sides can keep fighting even 5 to 10 years from now . So I’m surprised there still hasn’t been any real push for a stop to this war or seizefire. Maybe they need to come to point both sides are completely down in aspect economically, morally and manpower. It will take a lot more time for that to happen though. So expect this war to last much longer .
