This is interesting and would fit the picture of russkies having kept Iskanders in "safety stock" in case of some confrontation where long range fires are needed.

[Shaun Pinner @ShaunPinnerUA]

Interesting observation from recently recovered Russian weapons:

• Shahed drones are often hitting Ukraine just 5–15 days after manufacture.
• Zircon missiles are arriving with 2026 production dates.
• Most Kh-101s were built only months before launch.

It suggests much of Russia’s missile and drone production is going straight from the factory to the battlefield, with limited ability to build large reserves.

The exception appears to be Iskander missiles, where Russia may still maintain a significant stockpile.

If this is factual one can only wonder the motives of this...

According to Politico, the Trump administration may cancel planned Tomahawk missile sales to Germany because it fears the move could anger Russia.

Europe's largest economy wants to strengthen its defenses against an aggressive, expansionist Russia, and Washington's concern is how Moscow might react.

This is exactly why Europe needs to become militarily independent of the US.

Russia presented two "Russian" cars at the St Petersburg Economic Forum which turned out to be overpriced Chinese vehicles.

A new "Volga" was presented that turned out to be a rebadged Geely Monjaro. The "Volga" costs 4.2 million rubles and more, while the Geely Monjaro costs about 1.5 million rubles in China.

The new Aurus Senat 900 has turned out to be a copy of the Hongqi H9. Russians are being asked to pay 10-12 million rubles for it, while the Chinese original can be bought for around 4 million rubles.

The "Russian spirit" comes at a cost, apparently.

Excellent explanation for sure🤡

Russian President Putin appears to indicate that the fall of the Orehsnik IRBM in Russia-controlled areas of Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast during the aerial attack on Ukraine on May 24, 2026, was pre-planned as it allowed the Russian military to "observe the results."

Russian tanker port data. At Ust-Luga there was an adjustment of 1 crude tanker down to 1,5 million barrels of crude. For last week data shows a bit over 1 million barrels of crude slightly high for the site and almost non existent petroleum products exports.

Putin said to all missions ‘leave Kyiv’.

Instead, all 32 NATO Ambassadors and the Secretary General visit Ukraine.

Our message is crystal clear: NATO’s support for Ukraine is unshaken

According to our data, in May the net gains of the Russian armed forces were approximately 82km².

Despite their advance in Kostyantinivka, the Russian forces are struggling to regain offensive momentum amidst instensifying Ukrainian mid-range strikes and local counterattacks.

Itärajan kiinni pitäminen on turvallisuuspoliittinen välttämättömyys.

Välineellistetty maahantulo on Venäjän keino painostaa Suomea ja EU:ta. Niin kauan kuin uhka on todennäköinen, rajan avaaminen olisi riskinottoa kansallisella turvallisuudella.
