As Ukrainian strikes on Russia's oil infrastructure continue, the fuel crisis appears to be spreading across the country.
Long queues at gas stations are now forming even along the highway connecting Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Ukraine plans to begin a phased demobilization by the end of 2026, prioritizing troops with the longest service and most time spent in combat, while also advancing reforms that include higher frontline pay and updated contract conditions.

Terrific reporting and a long-read on how RU conducts influence operations in the West (and elsewhere). NB: “RU operatives ran their sabotage and provocation campaign remotely through social media… creating Muslim groups…to organise acts of vandalism in the UK and stir up division and fear.”
More evidence RU is expanding its LRS target list to include cultural treasures.
Virtually zero chance this happens, so I assume the primary purpose of this “meet with Putin” stuff is to undermine Putin among RU public/elite by making clear Putin is making a bad situation worse. A secondary goal may be showing Wstrn elites/publics UKR wants ceasefire and is willing to negotiate.
Well, looks like the RU targeting change is happening.
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.
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.
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.

I read the ODNI report regarding the so-called Ukrainian biolabs, and it is almost entirely a rehash of publicly available information. The new data, which btw. also contains inaccurate maps of Ukraine, supplements publicly available data. There is not a single bombshell in it. (1/11)
