How small is Demydivka? It’s so small there was once a fire at the library and both books burned.
It’s so small that when Ukrainian soldier entered the town, they exited 15 seconds later.
That massive eruption of Russian munitions at the Engels air base yesterday netted two Tu-95 bomber crew members.
There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that Trump is also demanding that Ukraine become the 54th state (after Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal, of course).
x The Trump administration is considering revising the terms of a mineral deal with Ukraine to gain access to key energy infrastructure in the country, The Financial Times reported, citing Ukrainian officials.

Russia launched a mass drone attack on the port city of Odesa.

The president of Czechia was visiting Odesa right before the drones struck.

The assault on Odesa highlights a recent change in Russian tactics — more drones concentrated in a few spots to overwhelm air defenses.
x The occupiers have changed tactics — now launching drones in massive waves to overwhelm air defense and mobile units. These drones dive from 2,000 meters for precise strikes, causing devastating destruction. This is pure terror — aimed only at killing, destroying, and spreading fear. 👇

So, is there a partial ceasefire or not? The Kyiv Independent is tracking Russia’s recent drone/missile attacks.

I don’t think these guys made it. Too bad.
WARNING: Video shows dead Russians.
The Odometer of Death rolls over to 900k
Another 1,330 Russians plus a rather large 101 artillery systems and 165 other vehicles.
Well, there are about 1,200 jobs in the Russian military that open up every day.

Remember several days back when Russia thought they were going to surprise Ukrainian forces in Sudzha by sending troops through a gas pipeline and have them pop up in Ukraine’s rear only to discover Ukraine was waiting for them?
Turns out that crawling through a gas pipeline is bad for your health.
No problem. Just send the survivors with 90% lung damage on a meat assault.
x Russian "pipe sweepers" who tried sneaking into Sudzha via gas pipe now breathe Mendeleev’s table. Turns out, strolling through gas lines is risky—who’d have guessed? Akhmat medics scramble to revive their 90% clogged lungs.

Translation: We never promised to stop bombing hospitals or killing children.
x The Kremlin insists Putin’s order to pause Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure still holds, according to TASS. Peskov stressed that the 30-day deal with Kyiv applies only to energy targets. “That’s what was agreed,” he said.

How many washing machines will fit in that cart?
x A Russian assault trooper gleefully checks out his command’s latest “multifunctional novelty”—a brilliant Russian defense industry creation: a mini—infantry fighting vehicle, ammo transporter, and hearse in one. Likely Kursk Oblast.

Look! It’s a Russian arbored vehicle.
This will surely entice Western companies to return to Russia to do business.
BTW — Russia’s Central Bank met today and decided to keep interest rates at 21%. The champagne corks will be popping in Moscow tonight.
