Putin has ordered massive strikes against Ukraine to continue.

Murderer.

❗ The death toll in Sumy has risen to four, including a child.

Medics are doing everything they can to save the other seriously injured.

Twenty two people have been injured in the Russian airstrike.

❗️Putin has no more than three years left in power

That's the forecast published by Forbes.

According to the magazine, the Kremlin's biggest threats could come from setbacks in the war against Ukraine, infighting among Russian elites, mass unrest, or a shift in China's position.

Forbes outlines several possible scenarios for Putin's downfall — including a public trial similar to that of Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu — and concludes that the Kremlin leader has no more than three years left.

What do you think? When will Russian state TV finally interrupt its programming to show Swan Lake? Share your predictions.

Rare “red sprites” have been captured in the sky over Tibet in recent days — one of the rarest types of lightning on the planet.

Unlike ordinary lightning that strikes downward from storm clouds to Earth, red sprites shoot upward, reaching the ionosphere.

⚡️BREAKING: Zelensky said he is ready to start direct negotiations with Putin instead of waiting for the United States to “end all conflicts in the world”

He said the “number one issue for the U.S.” right now is Iran, and that Ukraine is “in the queue of these issues.”

“I truly believe that the United States is the strongest party that can push Putin to end the war,” Zelensky added.

Putin forgot to ask Ukrainians for permission to hold the 2026 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, and the event opened not with investment news, but with smoke rising above an oil terminal.

A few hours before the opening, Ukrainian drones struck an oil export terminal in St. Petersburg. Smoke was visible from the city's historic center. Pulkovo Airport imposed flight restrictions, more than 30 flights were delayed or canceled, and 59 drones were shot down over Russia’s Leningrad region.

It is the most fitting metaphor for the entire forum. The Kremlin gathered delegations, business lobbyists, fringe politicians, and influencers to demonstrate that Russia is supposedly not isolated, supposedly attractive, and supposedly remains a "center of gravity." But Ukrainian drones destroyed that stage set before the event had even begun.

SPIEF 2026 is not an economic forum. It is a forum of wartime normalization. Its goal is not to attract investment, but to legitimize an image: the state wages an aggressive war, kills Ukrainian civilians, destroys cities, lives under sanctions - and at the same time hosts more than 150 panels about a "stable future," "pragmatic dialogue," "culture," "family values," and a "new global architecture."

This year's slogan is "Pragmatic dialogue - the path to a stable future." For Russia, that stable future looked this morning like a burning terminal and closed skies.

The forum was meant to show that everything is fine with the Russian economy. The numbers suggest otherwise. Growth collapsed from 4.9% in 2024 to about 1% in 2025; the first quarter of 2026 saw a 0.2% contraction, and the annual forecast has been lowered to a symbolic 0.4%. In May, the services sector PMI fell to 48.7 - below the growth threshold and marking the fastest contraction since September 2025. This is not development. It is an economy sustained by war, sanctions evasion, and state spending.

Western capital has not systematically returned. Individual people have returned - and that is precisely why they must be named. They are the supporting cast in the Kremlin's spectacle.

They may call it business, culture, "pragmatism," or "dialogue." But it looks different: they help the Kremlin show that it’s possible to sit in the same room with Russia, shake hands, and talk about the future - as if Mariupol, Bucha, Izium, and the attacks on Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipro, and Kryvyi Rih simply didn’t exist.

This isn’t neutrality. It is complicity.

Western guests perform specific functions for the Kremlin, and each of them has a role in this circus performance.

Members of Alternative for Germany - Bundestag member Steffen Kotré, Saxon state parliament member Jörg Urban, and Matthias Moosdorf - are there to show that "not all of Germany is against Russia." Their party has been pushing a pro-Kremlin line for years.

Business lobbyists Matthias Schepp, head of the German-Russian Chamber of Commerce, and Vincenzo Trani, president of the Italian-Russian Chamber of Commerce, are there to demonstrate that "Europe wants to trade."

Billionaire Thomas Bruch, linked to the Globus/Hyperglobus retail chain, is there to show that money matters more than crimes: he simply does not want to give up Russian revenues.

Fringe members of the European Parliament - Luxembourg's Fernand Kartheiser and Romania's Diana Șoșoacă - are needed solely to create the appearance of "cracks in Brussels," where they are known more as eccentrics than as serious politicians.

The American contingent is especially revealing.

The official U.S. representative is Rodney Mims Cook Jr., chairman of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts: Washington sent to St. Petersburg a man whose job is to ensure that state monuments look good.

Alongside him are Candace Owens, Steven Seagal, former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter, who has long ago reinvented himself as a full-time Kremlin defender, and against this backdrop - the Tate brothers.

No authority figures came to the forum. Those who did come are people willing to stand in front of the cameras and reinforce the Kremlin's favorite narrative: "The West is decaying, but part of the West is already with Russia."

The Tate brothers are perhaps the most fitting symbol of this company. Andrew and Tristan Tate arrived in Moscow on the eve of the forum and received a welcome with bread, salt, and folk songs.

Since 2022, they have been under investigation in Romania on charges that include forming an organized criminal group, human trafficking, trafficking of minors, and sexual relations with a minor. They also face separate charges in the United Kingdom.

Russia turned them into honored guests, coinciding with the announcement of a panel on "family values" featuring Owens. The cynicism was so blatant that even the pro-Kremlin military channel Rybar winced and described the choice as "shameful."

This is the true formula of SPIEF 2026: a state that kills civilians in Ukraine invites people with scandal-ridden reputations to speak about values, culture, and the future. These are not "traditional values." This is moral decay put on display.

The non-Western part of the picture was meant to demonstrate that "Russia has an alternative world."

China sent Vice President Han Zheng - one level below the representation of previous years, though few will notice. Guest country Saudi Arabia brought Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman together with a delegation of nearly 200 people and Saudi Aramco’s management - to discuss how to jointly keep the price of what both of them live off.

Uzbekistan and President Shavkat Mirziyoyev are needed by Rosatom: Putin and Mirziyoyev were supposed to launch the construction of the first nuclear power plant unit in the Jizzakh region via video link.

Tanzania sent President Samia Suluhu Hassan - an African connection and access to the Indian Ocean.

But this is not an equal global architecture. It is cynical pragmatism, authoritarian solidarity, and a willingness to do business with an aggressor.

SPIEF 2026 is trying to prove that Russia remains a center of gravity. Russia wanted to project normality. Instead, it revealed an economy that can no longer separate itself from war.

The war is no longer somewhere "out there" in Ukraine. It is already present in Russia's ports, airports, budgets, insurance risks, logistics routes, and investment decisions.

Ukrainian forces are already preparing response plans in case Belarus becomes directly involved in Russia’s war against Ukraine, Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces commander Robert “Madyar” Brovdi says.

He said around 500 targets have already been marked, describing it as part of ongoing planning for unmanned systems and long-range strike capabilities.

“A barking dog does not bite. A bird of prey is different. The first 500 targets are already marked. Free and very practical advice: don’t get in Ukraine’s way,” Madyar said, directing the remarks at Belarusian President Aliaksandr Lukashenka.

The comments come amid repeated warnings from Kyiv that Russia is seeking to draw Belarus deeper into the war, including through military coordination and potential planning for operations from Belarusian territory.

Ukrainian officials have warned that such scenarios could increase pressure on northern Ukraine and require further reinforcement of defenses along the Chernihiv–Kyiv axis.

Ukraine has unveiled a new Shahed-style strike drone called “Behemoth,” designed for long-range missions of up to 300 km and already in limited production, according to Ukrainian defense industry representatives.

The system reflects how Shahed-type drones have become a central tool in Russia’s long-range strike campaign against Ukraine, with repeated mass attacks targeting cities, energy infrastructure, and other critical facilities.

Those strikes have pushed Ukraine to scale up its own unmanned systems industry, with greater emphasis on lower-cost drones capable of carrying out long-range missions and sustained strike operations.

Behemoth fits into this shift, expanding Ukraine’s portfolio of loitering munitions designed for deep-strike roles and faster production at scale.

☢️ Russian state TV propagandist Vladimir Solovyov openly called for a tactical nuclear strike on Europe

Solovyov — one of the Kremlin’s most aggressive media figures and a top Putin ally on Russian television — said Europe should “feel what war is like on their own miserable European skin.”

He also claimed Russia should strike the “weak and pathetic scum” in Europe rather than the US.

Solovyov is known for regularly threatening the West, NATO countries, and Ukraine with nuclear war live on state television.

🤡 Russia’s State Duma has given Elon Musk a choice: either cut off Starlink for Ukraine — or Russia will “leave no trace of anyone”

State Duma chairman Vyacheslav Volodin claimed Elon Musk’s satellites are allegedly being used by Ukraine “to kill children” and said the billionaire “must understand this.”

“All this could lead to us using weapons that will leave no trace of anyone,” Volodin threatened.

So, translated from Duma-speak into normal language: shut down Starlink or Russia is apparently ready to destroy the entire world 🤣

What else should Musk do? Maybe personally apologize to the State Duma too?

Six frameworks channel Western military aid to Ukraine: PURL, Ramstein, EU SAFE, a separate EU joint loan, the UK–France Coalition of the Willing, and capability coalitions.

Each donor capital prefers its own. That's why five NATO allies just killed the 0.25% of GDP rule that would have measured them all the same way—before the Ankara summit in July.
