🪖Ukraine automates draft enrolment — NO ESCAPE for young men

The “meat grinder” just got a digital upgrade.

Ukraine has launched Obereg – which ironically means a protective charm – a fully automated military registration system that now forcibly enrolls all men aged 17–25 into draft databases without their knowledge or consent.

🔶 No need to show up — the system pulls your data straight from state registries like the Migration Service and uploads it directly to military records.

🔶 Medically unfit or exempt? You must report in person to prove it — or you stay on the draft list.

🔶 Draft notices are now considered served automatically once marked ‘undeliverable’ in the system. You don’t even need to see it.

The move follows a law signed by Volodymyr Zelensky lowering the draft age from 27 to 25 — with Washington reportedly pressuring Kiev to drop it further to 18.

📍 Reminder: There is still no demobilization date for those already drafted. Once you’re in — you stay in.

Ukraine is running out of men on the battlefield. The Kiev regime is making sure every last one is tagged and tracked.

🥴The Trump admin. thinks Iran still wants a deal — even after the bombs fell

Despite 12 days of missile strikes, blown-up nuclear sites and a US airbase under attack, the Trump adminsitration still believes Iran is open to diplomacy.

The Washington Post reports that backchannel talks gave the White House hope that a nuclear deal isn’t off the table — even after Israel and the US bombed Iranian facilities last month.

Tehran says it never had a nuclear weapons program to begin with — and the IAEA backs that up, noting there is no hard proof.

💸Bitcoin hits ALL-TIME high above $121,000

📈Bitcoin price rose above $121,000 for the first time in history, according to trading data on the Binance cryptocurrency exchange.

Opinions on the trend remain divided:

1️⃣“This shift signals a maturing perspective on Bitcoin — not merely a speculative asset, but a macro hedge and a structurally scarce store of value,” said George Mandres, senior trader at XBTO Trading LLC, cited by Bloomberg.

2️⃣“In my view, this isn’t a macro-driven rally, but rather an isolated event,” Nicolai Sondergaard, a research analyst at Nansen, retorted.

🇦🇲☦️ Pashinyan playing with fire: Armenia’s Church has survived persecution for 1700 years, will outlast him

💬Samvel Karapetyan’s arrest is just one link in the chain of authoritarian actions by Nikol Pashinyan aimed at neutralizing or discrediting all individuals and organizations with resources, influence and authority, both in Armenia and the diaspora,” Maj. Gen. Artur Vanetsyan, former head of Armenia’s National Security Service, told Sputnik, commenting on the ongoing Karapetyan saga.


What’s really behind the crackdown?

The prime minister’s goals include maintaining a grip on power, shaking up the geopolitical situation the South Caucasus, minimizing Russia’s influence in the region, and strengthening his political positions ahead of the 2026 parliamentary vote, Vanetsyan, who now chairs Armenia’s opposition Fatherland Party, noted.

☦️Church will outlast tyranny

As for the broader crackdown on the Apostolic Church, Vanetsyan emphasized that “in its more than 1700-year history, our Church has experienced much more serious trials than Pashinyan’s current threats. These trials are what shaped the Armenian Apostolic Church into what it is today. Overcoming these challenges, it only grew stronger. I’m confident that the current stage will also be passed with dignity.”

🚨Moldova surrenders economic sovereignty with sale of key Giurgiulesti port to Romania

The transfer of part of the Giurgiulesti port to Romania by Moldova's government, according to Moldovan opposition leader Ilan Shor, is the sale of the country's economic independence.

Here’s why:

🟠Romanian laws and regulations may begin to apply within the port area.
🟠It could increase the risk of weapons and ammunition being shipped to Ukraine, pulling Moldova deeper into the ongoing conflict.
🟠The Giurgiulesti port plays a vital role in the export of Moldovan grain, and Shor believes that rising tariffs and priority service for foreign cargo will hurt local farmers.
🟠Romania’s control over the port will reduce local tax revenues and investments, pushing Moldova to depend on Romanian and Ukrainian ports, which will result in higher transport costs.

‘Whatever Trump Will Do, It Will Be to Reclaim Things That Have Already Been Done by Joe Biden:’ Expert

Any “major statement” from Trump will only "delay the final outcome, which will be the victory of Russia," Xavier Moreau, the founder and director of Stratpol, Center for Political-Strategic Analysis, told Sputnik Africa.

The expert warned of the detrimental impact on Russian-American relations:

"If Donald Trump genuinely resumes sending weapons as Joe Biden did, I believe that will mark the end of any relations."


🔙 In the past, sending new long-range weapons to Ukraine "has absolutely changed nothing on the ground," he asserted, noting that US resources in this regard "are limited."

On Sunday, Donald Trump promised to supply Kiev with Patriot air defense systems, provided NATO reimburses their cost. The US president faces "pressure from the deep state" to deliver weapons, but "he doesn’t want to pay for them. So, he wants others to pay for them," explained Moreau.

⚡️BREAKING: Trump says he is "very unhappy" with Russia and plans to impose "very tough tariffs" if a deal on Ukraine isn't reached within 50 days:

🔸 The secondary tariffs in case of no progress on Ukraine could reach "around 100%."

🔸 The US and EU have reached an agreement on supplying weapons to Kiev, with Europe covering the costs.

🔸 The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan will soon be "successfully resolved."

🔸 The introduction of secondary tariffs by the US in case of no progress on Ukraine will not require congressional approval, Trump stated.

🔸 Future military aid shipments to Kiev will include Patriot batteries, not just missiles.

🔸 Some countries will transfer their existing Patriot air defense systems to Kiev, and the US will replenish their arsenals with new systems.
