The latest read from @clement_molin pulling raw observation data from @AndrewPerpetua and @WarUnitObserver paints a brutally clear picture on the Novopavlivka-Ivanivka sector: this has become the single worst meat grinder for Russian forces in the entire theater. After months of careful Ukrainian infiltrations done with real OPSEC discipline, our troops have clawed back villages, fully cleared Ivanivka and Novopavlivka, and now control roughly 55 square kilometers of what used to be gray zone. The sheer volume of FAB drops the Russians are dumping on their own former positions tells you everything. They lost it. They know they lost it. Theyre just rage-bombing the memory.
Their logistics are completely fucked. Every approach road sits under Ukrainian fire control. The only staging points left are the ruins of Bahatyr, already flattened, and Komar, which has tasted Ukrainian air strikes and is halfway to the same fate. After that their infantry has to hump 5-10 kilometers across open ground just to reach jump-off positions. Videos keep surfacing of entire platoons getting shredded while trying to cross the Vovcha, Solona, and Mokri Yaly rivers. Yet the 29th Army keeps getting orders to assault the so-called New Donbas Line that requires forcing two rivers and three trenches. Ten months of this suicide mission and the Kremlin still treats it like viable strategy.
The 90th Tank Division keeps sending its flag-wavers into Iskra further west for the obligatory telegram victory photo, while their own channels quietly admit the real risk is a Ukrainian breakthrough toward Komar. Meanwhile three of our best air assault brigades, 79th, 80th, and 95th, have been committed specifically to shove the orcs back behind the Mokri Yaly and harden the line. The main headache for them remains the spike in glide-bomb sorties. Intensity dropped around Huliaypole but surged here, over fifty FAB strikes registered in that big yellow perimeter alone.
The cold operational truth is that keeping this sector exactly as it is might be smarter than pushing south right now. It has become a free-fire killing zone where the Russians bleed dozens, sometimes hundreds, of men every month for zero territorial gain. Moscow loses more soldiers trying to recapture these villages than the villages had residents before the war. That is not attrition, that is industrial-scale idiocy.
The smarter axes for future pressure sit at Komar and Velyka Novosilka. Those directions let us fix Russian reserves, slow their buildup toward Huliaypole, and keep dictating the tempo instead of reacting to it. This is what happens when a competent defender with growing long-range strike capability turns the invaders logistics into a shooting gallery. The Kremlin can still feed bodies into the grinder, but the math only accelerates in one direction: their tab, our initiative, their collapse.
This is MMA fighter Sean McInnes. When Anne Marie Boyle asked him to leave her alone, he punched her in the face so hard that he broke her cheekbone and her eye socket, knocked her unconscious, and left her with a life-altering brain injury.
He was given less than two years behind bars.
It would be a real shame if this post was widely circulated and impacted his career in a negative way.
🚨BREAKING: The drained Reflecting Pool did not reveal any slices. Instead, tire marks were visible, obvious damage from Trump’s vanity drive in a fleet of 10-ton vehicles for no reason at all. He ruined his own project, then lied and blamed the citizens who paid for it.
🇺🇦 Big step for Ukraine.
FirePoint has introduced the FP-7.x - a Ukrainian-made missile designed as a more affordable alternative to the Patriot interceptor.
It can fly at up to 2,000 m/s, hit targets as far as 200 km away, and uses advanced guidance technology to track and destroy incoming aerial threats.
More Ukrainian air defense. More lives protected.
Footage from the scene of a suspected Russian air defense missile crash in the Moscow region.
I mean, Russian air defense is totally the best in the world, hard to argue.
Shocking moment of today's Russian strike on Sumy, which killed 5 people‼️
Please do not look away!
No mother should be forced to cover her children's bodies with her own like this. No child should have to live through such horrors!
Russians enter state of deep depression amid the 5th consecutive day of double digit destruction of Russian ships on the Azov Sea, a total of 76 over the course of 5 days.
Russians now lament that Ukraine is mow even deatroying the tugboats sent to tow the wrecks to port.
❗️❗️❗️🇷🇺In an extraordinary maritime breakthrough, a massive and relentless Ukrainian drone campaign has forced the Russian Federation to completely shut down commercial shipping through the critical Kerch Strait and indefinitely suspend all navigation along the Don-Azov Canal.
This sweeping maritime blockade was triggered by an unprecedented "industrial scale" hunting operation executed by Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces. Deploying highly advanced, domestic FP-2 kamikaze drones built by Fire Point, Ukrainian drone squadrons shattered all previous operational records by launching coordinated swarm strikes that systematically battered Russia’s logistical shipping fleet. Over a rapid, multi-day blitz, the precision aerial strikes targeted and heavily damaged an astonishing 21 vessels—including 19 sanctioned "shadow fleet" oil tankers hauling vital fuel to occupied Crimea, alongside a dry cargo ship and a maritime ferry.
The operational fallout for Moscow is catastrophic. Paralyzed by the relentless drone swarms, Russian border guards abruptly froze the entire shipping artery, refusing all transit applications through the Kerch Strait. By forcing a total halt of the Don-Azov corridor, Ukraine has effectively severed a crucial economic artery: this specific route handles nearly 25% of Russia’s entire global wheat and grain exports. Combined with the total disruption of military fuel shipments, this masterfully executed asymmetric blockade has transformed the Sea of Azov into an active combat trap, crippling the Kremlin’s southern wartime logistics and dealing a multi-billion-dollar blow to Moscow's critical export revenues.
I'm going to predict that when the damage assessment is complete, well into the future, Trump's greatest crime will prove to be espionage - AND - it will be the most catastrophic breach of national security in American history.
We will discover he passed secrets to Russia from day 1 because he was compromised; and did favors for the Saudis shortly after, purely for personal profit; and who knows what the hell else.
His many Useful Idiocies will boggle the mind. And his America First gaslight will be remembered as it should be remembered: "Trump Before America, facilitated by idiots who called themselves patriots."
His treachery - most done purely for power and profit, and some from pathology, revenge, and entitlement, will have massively impacted the globe, permanently shifted wealth, and cost many millions of lives.
I have to add that a good deal of it would not have happened but for our legacy media's consistent and widespread normalization of his disorders.
Meanwhile, "gasoline wars" in Putin’s Russia are escalating into mass brawls; eager to settle scores and assert dominance, citizens readily resort to fighting skills picked up on television.
The hatred of Ukraine that had poured for years from Putin’s "zombie box" has burst the dam and spilled out onto the streets at home.

Three Florida Republicans were just charged with creating a fake voter guide to steal an election.
They did not hack the machines. They did not stuff the ballot box. They printed a fake Republican voter guide, made it look nearly identical to the real one, and mailed it to tens of thousands of voters before a 2024 primary.
It worked. An incumbent won by fewer than 1,000 votes. Now three elected officials in St. Johns County, Florida are facing criminal charges for it.
One of Russia's most popular military bloggers begs the Kremlin to stop the war, calling it a "resounding and humiliating failure", citing that Ukraine is now destroying Russia.
