Critical Russian LNG Terminal Burned by Ukraine - 70% Loss

Ukraine successfully destroyed 70% of the storage facilities for Russia's LNG export terminal in Krasnodar. Russia lost another An-22 military aircraft and several pairs of military pilots to accidents in Russia. Trump continues to pressure Ukraine to give up territory because the Russians have offered the Trump family billions in bribes.

Why Ukraine WANTS Australia's Tiger ARH Helicopters NOW

Australia might finally give its retired Tiger ARH attack helicopters a new home in Ukraine.

In this video, I break down why Australia is in talks to send its entire fleet of 22 Tiger Armed Reconnaissance Helicopters to Ukraine, how the deal could work, and whether these famously temperamental birds can actually survive in the most drone-saturated battlefield on Earth.

These Tigers have had a rough life: expensive to maintain, plagued with readiness issues, and roasted so thoroughly in the Australian press they probably qualify as charcoal. But don’t let the memes fool you. When the Tiger works, it works. Advanced sensors, laser designators, Hellfire missiles, 70mm rockets, a 30mm cannon, and agility that makes heavier attack helos jealous.

I walk through everything that matters:

• Why Ukraine wants these helicopters despite their maintenance history
• How France and Germany could supply the spare parts Australia no longer wants to pay for
• Why even 8–10 flyable Tigers would be a meaningful combat boost for Ukraine
• How the Tiger compares to the Apache, Hind, and AH-1Z Viper
• Whether attack helicopters can actually survive in an era of FPV drones and loitering munitions
• The training and logistics challenges Ukraine would face
• And why timing matters: the European Tiger training hub closes in 2028

Australia has already delivered Bushmasters, artillery, drones, armored vehicles, and even 49 Abrams tanks. Sending the Tigers would make this one of Canberra’s most consequential aid packages ever. And honestly? It beats burying them in a landfill like the MRH90 Taipans.

If the transfer happens, this will be a defining chapter for a helicopter Australia never quite knew what to do with, and a meaningful reinforcement for Ukraine at a critical moment in the war.

Mass Protest in Kursk - Cancellation of monthly payments for people who live in the war zone.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s plane was forced to divert from Moscow after the city’s airspace was closed on Thursday amid a massive overnight drone attack.
Drones attacked the chemical plant in the Russian city of Veliky Novgorod, early reports have indicated a fire has broken out on its grounds.
A major Russian oil and gas production platform in the Caspian Sea has halted production after a first-of-its-kind Ukrainian drone attack, multiple news outlets reported Thursday, citing Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU).
Residents of Russia’s Kursk Oblast held a mass protest after regional authorities announced the cancellation of monthly payments for people who live in the war zone.

Ukraine’s Ex-Inmate Soldiers

We spent a day inside one of Ukraine’s most unusual military units — a special-operations group made up of early-released volunteer soldiers who chose the battlefield over their past.

At their hidden forest camp, they train, rebuild vehicles, fly FPV drones, and learn to hold the line together.

“Off training, they're different. They joke, they talk, they drink tea. You see real people here,” one of the instructors told us.

Some of these men had never held a weapon before the war. Now, they defend their country shoulder to shoulder.

Ukraine Pushes Back at Pokrovsk

Today we're looking into reports that Ukrainian forces are pushing back in northern Pokrovsk as Russia masses as many as 155,000 troops there to try to take the city. We have some new footage out of the area showing that, at least the northern portions, are really still contested in terms of coming under drone fire.

Russia's War Machine Is Now Tearing Itself Apart

Global intelligence agencies confirm that the Russian Federation is actively targeting the global logistics supply chain with incendiary devices while facing a catastrophic internal aviation infrastructure failure. This marks a violent decomposition of state control that threatens international freight routes and banking sector liquidity. The conflict has mutated from a conventional ground war into a hybrid crisis involving actuarial war risk premiums and sovereign debt insolvency risks.

Three simultaneous collapses are redefining the conflict. First, a ball bearing famine and sanctions have degraded the Russian air fleet to the point where museum age transports are crashing inside domestic borders. Second, the unit economics of the shadow fleet are failing as rising insurance costs and drone strikes destroy petroleum export revenue and force a liquidity crisis.

Third, the strategic culture of vranyo encourages commanders to falsify reports while the broader economy faces inflationary pressure and structural decay. These indicators suggest the shadow fleet is becoming a burning liability and that critical infrastructure protection is now the primary concern for Western governments. These financial and technical failures signal a dangerous escalation for global supply chains in 2025.

Russian Elites Are Now Fleeing Moscow

Russia is discovering that its sovereign territory is no longer a safe haven for its capital or its elite. The forced closure of all four major Moscow airports - Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo, and Zhukovsky - signals a logistical breakdown that grounds high value travel and physically isolates the regime. The war has moved from the distant frontier directly into the financial center of the state.

Simultaneously, the physical mechanisms of Russian revenue are being dismantled. Drone strikes on the Filanovsky platform in the Caspian Sea and export terminals near Novorossiysk confirm that energy infrastructure is now a defensible liability rather than a guaranteed asset. In the Black Sea, the shadow fleet is losing its cover; hits on tankers like the Dashan are driving war risk insurance premiums to prohibitive levels, effectively placing a blockade on Moscow's wallet.

The financial consequences are immediate. As physical exports are severed, the Central Bank is forcing the liquidation of foreign reserves to stabilize the ruble. Corporate loans are turning toxic, households are hoarding hard currency, and the state is forced to issue high yield debt to Beijing just to maintain liquidity. This is the anatomy of a systemic collapse where physical insecurity triggers financial insolvency.

Putin Falls Into Delusion As Kremlin Announces Expansion Of War

The Kremlin has begun preparing the Russian population for a dangerous new phase of this war, unleashing a fresh barrage of domestic propaganda to suppress growing unrest and sell the idea of wider escalation. As another highly followed Russian military blogger breaks ranks and admits Russians were lied into war, Putin’s behavior grows increasingly detached from reality, even as the foundations of Russia’s economy visibly collapse beneath him.

Russia’s auto industry is now down over 60 percent, oil revenues are cratering with Urals crude trading near $42 a barrel, and both China and India are demanding steeper discounts, squeezing the Kremlin’s last remaining export lifelines. The economic spiral is accelerating just as Ukraine continues to strike deeper inside Russia, hitting yet another major chemical facility overnight and exposing the vulnerability of the regime’s industrial war base.

While Moscow ramps up nuclear threats toward Europe in a familiar attempt to intimidate Western governments into retreat, the political pressure campaign continues abroad as well — with Donald Trump openly pushing President Zelensky to concede to Russian demands, even as European leaders hold the line in defense of Ukraine.

In Moldova, authorities moved to arrest Russian-backed operatives plotting to destabilize the country, underlining the Kremlin’s expanding campaign of hybrid warfare across the region. Meanwhile, Russia suffered another aviation disaster as a military aircraft crashed this morning, raising fresh questions about the state of its aging fleet and collapsing maintenance system.

And amid the destruction, a small human story cuts through the noise — a woman in Kyiv miraculously finding her long-lost cat alive among the ruins, a reminder of both the devastation Russia brings — and the resilience that continues to defy it.

This is the anatomy of Kremlin desperation: propaganda to pacify unrest at home, threats abroad, economic freefall, deepening battlefield strikes — and a leadership sliding steadily into delusion as the reality of defeat closes in.

Putin fears Trump's administration will collapse dooming his invasion of Ukraine

"Russia have to reckon with the fact that Donald Trump has three more years in the white House. Is he going to be a lame duck president in a year's time?"

Putin's scepticism for Trump's appeal to Russia and favourable peace deals is based in his mistrust of MAGA's ability to avoid collapse, warns John Lough , Head of Foreign Policy at the New Eurasian Strategies Centre.

Yep - Trump has only got to the mid-terms left and after that he'll be a lame duck President at worst. Impeached at best.
Trrump is seriously weakening and things are moving against him. US (Trump's) proposals are a waste of time

Czech "NARWHAL" Missile Turns ENTIRE Russian Front Into a KILL ZONE

Russia never expected the war it launched to come home — but a new threat is about to push the conflict deeper into its territory than ever before. Ukraine is preparing to field the Czech-made Narwhal cruise missile, a long-range weapon designed to strike refineries, airbases, and strategic assets far beyond the front line. With advanced guidance, heavy payloads, and swarm tactics, it could reshape the war’s balance. And the first tests are only weeks away…

Z-Army Begins to IMPLODE. Nobody Wants to Join Anymore

Russian Army - the second best army in Ukraine

Russia’s military has reached a breaking point, and the collapse can no longer be hidden behind propaganda or staged patriotism. The once-mythical “second army in the world” is now exposed as a hollow force rotting from decades of corruption, fake equipment, stolen budgets, and a population no longer willing to die for empty promises. From wooden grenades and foam-filled body armor to expired rations and 1940s rifles, the Russian military machine is shrinking at a speed that reveals a deeper national crisis. Recruitment has collapsed, volunteers have vanished, and even the poorest regions are drained of fighting-age men. Signing bonuses are shrinking, salaries delayed, and families of the dead receive nothing as the Ministry of Defense invents new bureaucratic traps to avoid paying compensation. The propaganda ads promising luxury cars and new apartments are no longer fooling anyone. Instead, Russians see the reality: men sent into a modern war with children’s walkie-talkies, taped-together jets, malfunctioning missiles, and commanders who view soldiers as disposable.

As mobilization failures grow, the Kremlin relies on fear, coercion, street kidnappings, and forced contracts that function like life sentences. Yet even this strategy is faltering because people understand the truth: you can risk your life for the state, but the state will never risk a ruble for you. Corruption at every level — from generals buying villas instead of armor to oligarchs spending more on yachts than the navy spends on ships — has turned Russia’s army into a Potemkin structure collapsing under the weight of its own lies. Putin believed his own propaganda, underestimated Ukraine, and overestimated the army he thought he built. Now Russia is fighting a modern war with outdated weapons, starving logistics, untrained recruits, and a shrinking manpower pool that threatens the future of the entire campaign.

This video breaks down how Russia’s military reached this breaking point, why nobody wants to join, why propaganda no longer works, how corruption hollowed out the armed forces, and why the Kremlin now faces an impossible dilemma. The decline is real, the manpower crisis is irreversible, and the Russian military is shrinking faster than the regime can replace its losses. The collapse of recruitment isn’t just a military issue — it’s a sign that the social contract between the Kremlin and its people has shattered. Discover the full story of Russia’s rapid military decay, the collapse of volunteer numbers, the shrinking bonuses, the unpaid salaries, the exposed corruption, and the growing nationwide refusal to fight in Ukraine.

This is the breaking point the Kremlin feared — and it has finally arrived.

Russia Controls The United States - Europe Must Prepare for War​

Ukraine continues their successful strikes against Russian energy targets as well as high value radar and air defense systems. Trump has published his National Security Strategy and has declared Europe as the biggest threat to The United States and pledged positive relations with Russia and other autocratic regimes around the world. Russia is celebrating Trump's betrayal of global democracy.

A good report overall, but people need to fast-forward to the part where the host gets into the blatant COLLUSION between Trump and Russia (about halfway through the video).



WE. TOLD. THEM. SO.

 

[ChloeTzang]

..... the blatant COLLUSION between Trump and Russia (about halfway through the video).

That's pretty much where Trump is and why he has to go,,,,aside from anything domestic, he's an existential threat and upsetting the status quo as he is doing is likely to spark WW3 one way or another - and we're n that prelude to WW3 now- the main show of which will be China (upcoming world power) vs USA (fading world power - and fadimg faster thanks to Trump)

Ukraine is now fighting a whole other war. Not just against Russia and Putin but also against Trump.

The Battlefield

If you’ve been struggling to understand what’s really happening on Ukraine’s battlefield, you’re not alone. The war has entered a phase where daily maps, headlines, and isolated updates no longer tell the full story. In this video, I walk through the deeper strategic forces that explain why Ukraine and Russia are fighting the way they are — and what the latest movements actually mean.

You’ll see how supply, terrain, leadership decisions, and political pressures are shaping the lines in ways that aren’t obvious at first glance. If you want a clear, grounded picture of the war right now, this is the place to start.

Zelensky’s Election Call Torpedoes Putin’s Main Objection

Putin has spent months insisting that Ukraine can’t hold legitimate elections during wartime.

But Zelensky just flipped the script—calling for elections himself and stripping away Moscow’s primary talking point in one move.

In this report, we break down why Zelensky did this, how it undercuts Putin, and what this means for the political battlefield ahead.

Kremlin Calls Ukraine a ‘Failed State’ After Zelensky Calls Elections

The Kremlin didn’t wait a single news cycle before attacking Ukraine’s legitimacy. Why did Moscow instantly label Ukraine a “failed state” right after Zelensky called for elections—and what are they trying to stop?

This breakdown shows the timing, the motives, and the strategic pressure behind Russia’s narrative shift.

We can fully expect Trump to start calling Ukraine a filed state shortly
