⛽️ "Pipe 3.0" — the Russians cross the Oskil through the gas pipe and enter Kupyansk

🔄 Unfortunately, the enemy used the pipes for infiltration for the third time. The first time was in Avdiivka, the second near Sudzha. There was even a claim online that similar pipes are used to enter Pokrovsk, but in reality, the video was taken near Kupyansk.

🇷🇺 The Russians have built an entire logistical artery. The pipe entrances are located in the area of Lyman Pershyi. Specially designed wheeled beds and electric scooters (where height allows) are used for movement inside the pipe. The route to the outskirts of Kupyansk takes about 4 days, so special rest areas and food supplies have been made along the way.

🏹 Thus, organized enemy groups reach Radkivka without serious losses and then move south into the forest they control. After that, they disperse in Kupyansk and reach the railway.

✈️ Tomorrow some spokesperson will try to deny this, calling the groups disorganized and small, but in Kupyansk itself there are already positions for the takeoff of Russian pilots.

🏚 Problems are also caused by the lack of forced evacuation of local residents who are now in the same houses with the enemy, which prevents many strikes. In addition, locals share food with them...

🤷🏻‍♂️ It's a pity that the experience of Avdiivka and Sudzha was not taken into account. But once again, we want to believe that this "pipe" will finally serve as a lesson.

According to WaPo #Israel Mossad has drawn up plans to kill Hamas leaders in Doha but declined to execute it to preserve its ties with Qatari counterparts.

As a result, Netanyahu ordered air strikes, which failed.

When Israel announced Tuesday that it had launched a strike on senior Hamas leaders in Qatar, one security agency was notably missing from the official statements: the Mossad.
That’s because Israel’s external intelligence agency had declined to carry out a plan it had drawn up in recent weeks to use agents on the ground to assassinate Hamas leaders.

The UAE is reportedly considering a request from Qatar to close its embassy in Tel Aviv in retaliation for Israel’s strike targeting Hamas leaders in Doha.

Professor Jeffrey Sachs interview to Italian media:

Sachs: "Macron told me that the war in Ukraine is entirely NATO's fault."
Sachs revealed this significant news at the end of yesterday's highly-attended debate on the war, Ukraine, and Europe:
"Macron awarded me the Legion of Honor and told me in private what he doesn't say in public: the war is NATO's fault. I want it to be known, because this disgusts me."
Yesterday's debate—which featured Sachs, connected from the United States, Professor Alessandro Orsini, well known to our readers, and Orietta Moscatelli, a journalist and Russia expert who covers the topic for Limes—proceeded along this line. Orsini summarized his analysis, which was widely contested in 2022 and which also cost him a great deal professionally. Asked to explain the "hybrid war" Minister Guido Crosetto is talking about, the Luiss professor places it in that "marketplace of ideas" that easily fades into "propaganda and disinformation." These, he added, are widely used to explain a war in which "cardboard" Russia would have easily lost and Ukraine triumphed. "Things turned out differently," today Russia is still on the offensive, and precisely having insisted on the hypothesis of an easy victory for the West, Orsini argues, has led to a scenario in which a diplomatic solution is very difficult. "The war can only be resolved on the ground, and the Alaska summit has delayed the end of the war," because irreconcilable positions were clashed and above all because the European Union has chosen the path of the all-out militarization of Ukraine with the aim of making it a "military power." "But if that were to happen," Orsini concludes, "it would be a strategic defeat for Putin, which is why Russia would consider marching on Kiev. Moscatelli, who is preparing to return to Russia, also reiterates that Russia has been a determined and central player thus far. Regarding the drone strikes in Poland, he admits that it may have been a "Russian provocation": "But if that's the case, unfortunately it worked out well, because NATO has proven capable of barking but not biting." And the European Union is also showing its fragility with various states, each of which hopes to gain a strategic advantage from the US withdrawal from Europe and therefore inevitably clashes with all the others. Professor Sachs, however, provided the evening with a no-nonsense speech: "We are witnessing the final stage of a sick game that has been going on for 30 years," he began, recalling the final phase of the USSR, Gorbachev and Russian leaders' desire for peace while the US asked them to "get down on their knees": "The Americans are crazy, and the Europeans who follow them are crazy." Sachs spared no one, not even Trump and his pacifist ambitions: "He's ignorant, he doesn't know geography, and during his first presidency he did nothing to intervene in a war that actually began in 2014." After him, "another idiot, Biden," flanked by "even more idiotic" allies like Boris Johnson. And he didn't spare Europe either, dotted with states "who want to wage war" and cultivate an absurd "Russophobia," while the people, "starting with Italy, want peace." Orsini supports him by recalling a Censis survey according to which 67% of Italians believe the Ukrainian war is the responsibility of the West. And the Columbia professor concludes with a positive hypothesis: "Peace would be made immediately if the EU supported a neutral Ukraine, not in NATO and with a sacrifice of territory." And then he turns to Giorgia Meloni: "If Italy adopted this line, it would make it a winner in Europe and could help end the war."

A striking admission by Polish FM Sikorski at the YES conference in Kiev:

If we are providing security guarantees to Ukraine, we are saying that we can start a war against Russia. But I don’t think this is either convincing or trustworthy. If someone wants to fight Russia, they can start it right away. But I am not seeing anyone willing. There is nothing worse in international relations than providing guarantees that can’t be trusted.

Sikorsky stated that Ukraine, in his opinion, "already has guarantees, even if they are called 'assurances' in the Budapest Memorandum." If other, more specific guarantees are provided, they will not work, he is convinced.
The minister recalled that the goal of the discussed security guarantees for Ukraine is to restrain Russia from new aggression: "They say that if you attack the one to whom guarantees have been provided (that is, Ukraine – EP), we will start a war in its defense."
"That is, if we provide security guarantees to Ukraine, we are saying that we can start a war against Russia. And I don't think that this is convincing, that there is trust in this. Anyone who wants to fight Russia can start it right now. But I don't see anyone willing to do so," he shared his thoughts. "But in international relations, there is nothing worse than providing guarantees that are not trusted."
Sikorski called for recognition that this is not about guarantees for Ukraine.

So NATO membership promise has been a lie all along and the so-called "coalition of the willing” has exactly zero members.

New normal in the "Rules based order" world.

Denmark will bypass more than 20 laws and regulations to allow Ukrain's company Fire Point to build a solid rocket fuel plant near Skridstrup air base.
The government will use a special law that allows it to ignore environmental and building codes for defense needs. Fire Point will also be temporarily exempted from rules on controlling the risks of major accidents.

#Ukraine prolific beggar #Zelensky keeps asking for more and more money

In 2026, Ukraine's military needs will amount to 120 billion dollars, or 172 million dollars per day.

Netanyahu told Trump in advance about Hamas delegation strike in Qatar, Israel's Channel 12 reports
——
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed US President Donald Trump last Tuesday morning that Israel was planning to strike the Hamas delegation in Qatar, shortly before the attack was carried out, according to three Israeli officials.

The White House claimed it was only notified once the missiles were already in the air, leaving Trump with no chance to oppose the strike.

Seven Israeli officials told Channel 12 that the White House was aware beforehand, even if the window to halt the operation was extremely narrow.

A senior Israeli official said: “Trump knew about the strike before the missiles were launched. First there was a political discussion between Netanyahu and Trump, and afterward through military channels. Trump didn’t say no.”
Another Israeli official said that the US was informed “with sufficient time at the political level, and had Trump wanted to stop it, he could have.”

Or irony ...

Ukraine’s language ombudsman Olena Ivanovska complains that Russian is becoming a protest language of Ukrainian teenagers and that her own daughter maintains her social networks in Russian because all her friends are Russian-speakers.

The language ombudsman said that her daughter ran social networks in Russian because that is the language her friends speak.

"Teenagers are read on social networks by other teenagers just like them. I tell my daughter: "Sofia, how is that possible? Why is that?" And she says: "Mom, who will read me if they are all Russian-speaking?" I tell her that she should become so interesting that they read and discuss you in Ukrainian," Elena Ivanovskaya said.

According to her, Ukrainian teenagers often speak Russian because they want "to demonstrate their inclusion in a separate, youthful environment with every action."

"Your marginal position always awakens the spirit of contradiction. A certain lack of critical thinking also has an effect. That's why teenagers consume all this junk called "Russian-language content" from the Internet, from TikTok, which is dumped on children's heads and which is not restrained or countered. And Russian-language bloggers, apparently, are very well versed in age psychology. It is not for nothing that they so skillfully hook our children on their hook," Ivanovskaya said.

Earlier, the State Service for Education Quality also recorded that Ukrainian schoolchildren began to use the state language less.

It's official

#Israel is committing genocide in Gaza

#Ukraine

#Trump the 'Peacemaker' 🤦‍♂️

Don't pay much attention to what he says but just judge by what he does.

“The Trump administration's first US weapons aid packages for Ukraine have been approved and could soon ship as Washington resumes sending arms to Kiev - this time under a new financial agreement with allies - two sources familiar with the situation told Reuters.

This is the first use of a new mechanism developed by the US and allies to supply Ukraine with weapons from the US stocks using funds from NATO countries.
Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby has approved as many as two $500 million shipments under the new mechanism called the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List.

LMAO

The EU emphasizes: support for Ukraine continues, but it is necessary to prepare for the return of Ukrainians to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian rebuild the country.
