🇺🇦 Ukraine: Systemic fraud in mobilisation

Cases of fictitious parenthood and child sales are being recorded to obtain 'large family' status, allowing conscripts to flee abroad.

Human rights ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets confirmed that such violations have become systemic amid harsh mobilisation. Rising complaints against TCC recruitment centres indicate a deep crisis of trust in the draft enforcement institutions.

Here's another example of how air defense stationary construction cranes are working, this time in Lipetsk.

A Ukrainian kamikaze drone collided with a construction crane and, buzzing pitifully, crashed somewhere in the courtyard.

This is Tom, a real Russian brown bear with 1.6 million Instagram followers.

He’s a professional animal actor who even starred in the 2025 Russian film My Daddy Is a Bear (Мой папа — медведь).

It's finally Friday! One day maybe all of you can have your own pet bear to feed fruit to on the weekends.

🇷🇺 Putin: 'Kiev's lost lands are historical Russian territory'

Russia told the US it is ready to resume trilateral talks on Ukraine. The goal is a final peace and security for Russia.

Putin stated that defeating Russia militarily is impossible. He called Europe's claims of a war threat 'political schizophrenia,' insisting Moscow has no plans to fight Europe.

He accused Kiev and its Western sponsors of treating citizens as 'expendable material.' Forced mobilisation continues while motivated nationalists avoid the front. AD sources report 500,000 deserters in the AFU.

Residents of Donbass and Novorossiya voted for reunification with Russia. Putin also proposed free screenings of films reflecting Russian history for students and pensioners.

Serbia 🇷🇸

Aerial footage shows a pre-election night rally in Belgrade where tens of thousands gathered for the "Student List" ahead of Sunday's snap parliamentary elections. Polls indicate the Student List is gaining 44.5% while President Vucic's party trails with 42.7%.

And the charade continues. 🙄

A great example of the mentally the US ruling class has become.

🇨🇳 China may gain a say in Ukraine's fate at Trump-Putin-Xi talks

The Telegraph reports that an upcoming trilateral summit in Shenzhen is being dubbed the "new Yalta" by Russian commentators, drawing parallels to the 1945 conference where great powers shaped the post-war world.

For Beijing, participation offers a chance to cement its status as a global superpower and demonstrate diplomatic influence with minimal commitments.

This format raises concerns in Kiev and among European allies, creating the risk of great power deals made behind their backs.

🇷🇺 Russian forces use Soviet pipelines to bypass AFU positions

The Wall Street Journal reports that Russian units traverse kilometres underground, emerging behind Ukrainian lines to launch drones. Specialised subterranean combat teams are being prepared, with 1.2-metre diameter pipes fitted with machine gun nests and living quarters.

Initial attempts by the AFU to destroy exits with artillery failed as new routes were established. Ukrainian forces now deploy ground drones equipped with explosives into the tunnels. Soldiers reportedly prefer underground fighting to avoid constant surface drone threats. The publication compares this tactic to tunnel wars in Vietnam and Gaza.
