From a strictly military standpoint, Russia lacks capacity to open another front against Poland. If the goal is to undermine NATO, a limited border conflict with Baltic state is more plausible. A hybrid confrontation with NATO makes sense only to create a pretext for mobilization
While much of the world is fascinated by a Russian couple climbing the Empire State Building with their so-called “anti-war protest,” Russia continues doing what it has done every single day for years: killing Ukrainians.
Looking at their social media, it’s hard to believe they oppose this war. They openly praise Putin, Lavrov, and other figures behind Russia’s aggression, while showing no concern for the Ukrainians being killed every day.
Yesterday alone, Russia attacked Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, and other Ukrainian cities. Civilians were killed, children were injured, and homes were destroyed.
Somehow, a stunt on the Empire State Building gets more attention than Russia’s daily attacks on Ukraine. That should concern all of us.
Russian media Rybar reporting on the increasing strikes targeting Ukrainian gas stations. Pretty significant spike in the second half of the month and that seems to align with an increase in footage showing these strikes.
Incredible development: Ukrainian forces have already broken their own monthly record for destroying Russian air defense systems, surpassing May's total.
So far in June, they have destroyed 44 Russian air defense systems and the month isn't over yet. 1/3
this is so fucking insidious. there’s literally NO good reason to have a concealed camera connected to the internet available for general use. they will absolutely be training AI with the feedback, too. evil invention from evil people — i wish you nothing but the worst
Prigozhin’s insurrection was probably the last time I felt anything close to wonder or excitement reading the news. Like a final heartbreak, its anti-climatic resolution permanently soured me
We urge the international community to stay vigilant in light of the ‘mobilization exercises’ currently underway in Belarus's Grodno region.
From June 20 to July 2, the military commissariat of the Oshmyany district is notifying approximately 2,000 conscripts and setting up preliminary assembly points.
While officially categorized as routine data verification, these actions serve as a tactic of intimidation toward neighboring states.
The Belarusian leadership shows no intent to de-escalate. Instead, Minsk is increasing its military presence near the borders of Ukraine and NATO countries.
This strategy aligns with Kremlin interests, using political blackmail that directly contradicts the Belarusian leadership's public statements regarding peace.
Ukraine continues to closely monitor Belarusian activities, reiterates its warnings to Minsk against deepening involvement in Russian aggression, and urges the international community to increase pressure on the Lukashenko regime.
Hodges: Half of the intelligence our government uses does not come from American satellites. It comes from UK, France, Poland — from all of our relationships. That exists only because of trust.
The damage this administration has done to that — that's what worries me. 3X

Cybersecurity experts warn Chinese security cameras pose a risk, yet Czech institutions keep buying them. They're installed at military sites and even on the Prague HQ of the cyber agency warning against them. @investigace_cz mapped these Chinese cameras. https://t.co/ZcyXYnS0UV
