@Leonov_mr@xylevin Но право Израиля на самооборону в случае вооруженного н��падения никак не добавляет законности американским ударам по Ирану, поэтому г-н Уиткофф не зря вдруг вспомнил про 460 кг. урана для 11 ядерных бомб (как и Колину Пауэллу потребовалась пресловутая пробирка).
@Leonov_mr@xylevin Отвечают вам �� основном неуклюже, да,
но 13 апреля 2024 Иран совершил акт агрессии, атаковав Израиль в ответ на убийство офицеров КСИР в Дамаске.

Вооружённый конфликт с тех пор не прекращён, и любые удары Израиля по военным целям в Иране законны.
Но.
@abuviktor1@Yuriy841407 Здесь нет никакого судейского активизма. Так работает закон Нью-Йорка о реформе системы залога, принятый в 2019.

June 1, 2025. Or a manual on how to prepare for negotiations.
I am convinced that this operation would have taken place regardless of any negotiation process. However, it’s worth noting that such special operations place the Ukrainian side in a strong position — and for that, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) deserves great respect and gratitude for once again demonstrating precision in targeting high-value objectives.
Perhaps if the military command system were better, competent commanders wouldn’t be writing reports asking to be removed from their positions. In that case, the situation at the front would be much more productive for Ukraine — which would make its position at the negotiating table even stronger. Conceptually, a series of simultaneous military and special operations could be described as a joint operation to enforce peace.
But we live in today’s reality, and once again, the SBU shows us what true warfare mastery looks like.
Let’s try to analyze what happened by gathering information from open sources.
The planning of the operation, codenamed “Spiderweb,” began a year and a half ago. According to one account, FPV drones and modular wooden houses were smuggled separately into Russia. Later, the strike drones were embedded into the roofs of the houses, which could be remotely opened — or rather flipped open.
The claim about smuggling FPV drones into Russia is very likely true, because the biggest challenge in such an operation is maintaining a stable signal with the drones. As we’ve seen, they were controlled from Ukraine, probably from Kyiv. Simply put, the drones had unique construction features, as did the modular houses, which likely served as a kind of signal repeater.
Hiring completely unrelated companies to transport the modular houses was likely not a problem. I stress the drivers’ non-involvement: in civilian videos from various attack locations, many comment that the drivers were running around the trucks shouting, “We were told to come here, we don’t know what’s happening.” Knowing how the SBU handles its agent network, they don’t send people on suicide missions. Especially when hiring an outside carrier to deliver a modular house to a set location is relatively easy.
However, in one of the videos, we see a truck driver strangled with a zip tie (likely the work of the FSB), which isn’t surprising — Russians often kill their own, guilty or not — they simply don’t care.
Then, simultaneously, the houses with strike drones were delivered by private carriers to designated spots near airfields. Targets included: Olenya (Murmansk region), Belaya (Irkutsk region), Ivanovo (Ivanovo region), Dyagilevo (Ryazan region), and likely Ukrainka (Amur region).
After stopping at the designated locations, drones launched from the mobile houses toward airfields and struck strategic aviation assets. Civilians nearby recorded the events on their phones — there is plenty of video evidence online.
The exact number of trucks and houses is still unknown, as there are reports that some trucks didn’t make it. In one video, we see a burning house (apparently it never reached the target zone). russian civilians, as is typical, began looting the structure, after which an ammunition explosion occurred. According to sources, this particular shipment was supposed to strike the Ukrainka airfield.
After launching the drones, the houses reportedly self-destructed via detonation — to eliminate any possible evidence. The SBU stated that all participants in the operation are currently on Ukrainian territory — which is quite logical when you value those who complete assigned missions.
Result: 41 aircraft hit. I believe that very soon we will see not only video confirmations but also satellite imagery.
This operation incorporated nearly all principles of warfare: prioritizing targets, operational security, concentration of forces, and surprise. It’s reported that the operation was overseen by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and execution was supervised by SBU head Vasyl Maliuk.
And why is this operation so important today? Not just because Russians will now be significantly limited in their ability to strike civilians using strategic aviation and cruise missiles.
At previous peace talks, according to several sources, Russian negotiator Medinsky threatened the Ukrainian delegation, saying that Russia would “take Sumy and Kharkiv regions.” He also reportedly said, “those who sit at the table will lose more of their loved ones.”
And yet, despite negotiations and prisoner exchanges, russia began the most massive shelling of Ukrainian cities, killing civilians. These are not strikes on military targets — this is mass terror, because Russia is a terrorist state.
However, Ukraine has shown that it not only resists provocation — it forces russia toward peace by destroying military assets. At the next round of negotiations, the dishonorable Medinsky will sit silently and listen to what Defense Minister Umerov has to say. Because Medinsky knows he is a completely legitimate military target — subject to elimination for threatening Ukrainian civilians and for supporting international terrorism. If he forgets this, Deputy Head of the SBU Oleksandr Poklad, who is also on the delegation, will surely remind him — better than anyone else — why Russia’s actions are mistaken.
Therefore, the russian side should remember that if its delegation is unable to negotiate, certain Ukrainian special services are ready to replace them — by eliminating key figures.
In a barbaric war, it is difficult to remain civilized, yet Ukraine shows it will continue to fight military targets, not civilians. And the international community is morally obligated to support this position.
@MarcusMStanley@aloofAstronaut@TimWesB@ZelenskyyUa A major issue fueling this war is whether you should make similar commitments to Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden and Norway, which are directly on Russian border and not key allies like Germany and France.
Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.
We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.
Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.
Dear Volodymyr @zelenskyyua, we stand with #Ukraine in good and in testing times. We must never confuse aggressor and victim in this terrible war. (FM)
Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.
Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President @ZelenskyyUa.
We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.
