Well, looks like the RU targeting change is happening.
Lots of interest in this. NB: “So if the Northern route remains closed and RU cannot find a way to significantly increase traffic from the Kerch end—Crimea is for all intents and purposes cut off. That turns the peninsula from a strategic asset to a major strategic and political headache.” Yup.
Thread. NB: “There is no cover up. Virtually everything has been known. The report questions this not with one syllable. So why the fuss?” IMO likely answer is bc she knows that most people won’t read beyond the headlines, and the report will lend fuel to conspiracy theorists in RU and generally.
About 8 hours after shadow tanker SMYRTOS was seized by UK three other shadow tankers made abrupt turns within an hour of each other, avoiding going through the English Channel.
Home base called I assume. All ships in screenshots are sanctioned.
More on this.
Hmmm. Would be nice to see an actual transcript. Rather doubt it was that wonderful—and Ze has an incentive IMO to portray it that way before Trump reports on his call with Putin.
❗️Poland plans to purchase two more squadrons of F-35A aircraft, which will double their number in the Air Force — from 32 to 64 planes.
This was announced by Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz during the ceremony for the acceptance of the first F-35s into service.
Yup.
Surprise. Bibi and team doing what they do.
Trump’s leverage over Kyiv isn’t zero but it’s a whole lot less than it was when he came into office. Pretty sure Putin knows that, and pretty sure he and his team no longer believe Trump will be a magic bullet for Putin’s UKR misadventure.

🚨 BREAKING: Russian strike hits the historic Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a world-famous Orthodox monastery and UNESCO site, igniting fire on the roof of the Dormition Cathedral.
FINALLY ! Awesome to see, as I know that the Brits have been at least as frustrated with the lack of action as the Swedes were until they got their legal system in order and started intercepting a couple ships per month.
Getting them in the English Channel would be a great case for 🇫🇷🇬🇧 cooperation
❗️Just had a wonderful conversation with Trump, – Zelenskyy.
I informed the President about the latest developments on the battlefield and how our position has strengthened. We agreed to discuss more during our meeting at the G7 summit.
A state fighting a war of choice and a state fighting for survival commit on entirely different scales, and it is the scale of commitment, not solely the underlying capabilities & resources, that usually determines the outcome of such conflicts.
