UK intercepts Russian "shadow fleet" tanker for the first time – Reuters.
Great job, UK – now please do it every day. 👍👍👍
And Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Denmark could help out too...
According to the report's sources, the order to intercept was allegedly issued personally by Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The tanker *Smyrtos* was attempting to transit the English Channel. The vessel had departed the Russian port of Ust-Luga on June 1.

Despite all the Kremlin's efforts, Russia's manpower advantage over Ukraine is starting to wane - CNN
▪️ Fewer and fewer Russians are willing to go to war. According to Russian economy expert Janis Kluge, recruitment into the Russian army fell by 20% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 2025. And the trend is expected to continue.
▪️ Russia has already sent tens of thousands of convicts to the front, received reinforcements from North Korea, and recruited immigrants.
▪️ To attract new contract soldiers, Russia is offering sign-up bonuses of up to $80,000, debt relief of up to $140,000, "hero" status, citizenship, and other perks.
"After all, if a potential military recruit was unwilling to take a hefty signing bonus last year, it is unclear what would make them change their mind now, especially given reports of poor treatment on the front lines," CNN notes.
At the same time, Russia is suffering catastrophic losses on the battlefield.
▪️ The strategy of "paying rather than forcing" is beginning to falter, especially as Russia's economic problems continue to mount.
Putin will likely have to make even more unpopular decisions this year if he wants to continue the invasion of Ukraine. One option would be to declare mobilization.
▪️ Nigel Gould-Davies, a senior fellow for Russia and Eurasia at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), shares this view.
"The Kremlin will soon face a fundamental choice over whether to radically escalate its demands on Russia’s economy and society or to scale back its war aims," he predicts.
Muhammad Baqir Zulqader, Secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council, has announced that Iran will respond to Israel's attack on Beirut earlier today.
