Warfare Russia/Ukraine War

[PEMM]

Russia is not happy with Trump's America, so sad. Seizing shadow fleet tankers is clearly effective.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused the United States of sabotaging efforts to improve bilateral relations and of undermining negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.

“Despite all the statements by the Trump administration about the need to end the war … it does not challenge all the laws that Joe Biden passed to punish Russia after the start of the special military operation,” Lavrov said in an interview with TV BRICS published on Monday.

“In practice, the opposite is happening: new sanctions are being imposed, a war is being waged against tankers on the high seas, in violation of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea,” he said, referring to U.S. forces recently seizing ships belonging to a so-called “shadow fleet” of oil tankers.

"Russia’s security services now claim to have uncovered a so-called “Polish trace” in the shooting of General Alekseyev, alongside allegations involving Ukraine’s security services and a promised payout. Two suspects have reportedly “confessed,” a third figure has emerged, and yet key elements of the narrative remain unverified and deeply questionable.In this report, we examine the official version presented by the FSB, the details of the alleged attack, and the growing doubts surrounding forced confessions, implausible tradecraft, and conveniently timed evidence. We also place this incident in the broader pattern of high-level insecurity inside Russia and explore possible internal motives that may better explain what happened.As always, we separate facts from claims — and context from headlines." - Professor Gerdes.

All the worst for Russia 2026

Exclusive: Russia's budget deficit may almost triple this year as oil revenues decline

Russia's public deficit could balloon to almost triple the official target by end-2026 as a fall in Indian purchases of oil and growing oil trade discounts eat into revenues while spending may be higher than expected, a source close to the government told Reuters.

The Russian economy is finally stagnating. What does it mean for the war – and for Putin?

A wartime boom in Russia has given way to sluggish growth, tax hikes and squeezed public services. Will it affect the conflict in Ukraine?

If they can't continue to pay with resources they dig out everyday they will quickly break down. Not much substance there..

And China is a lost case. They shall be put behind a new iron curtain for their sinister plans and actions. No more cooperation with them anywere.

"Russia’s next offensive isn’t speculation — it’s visible in the data.By mapping 12,000 artillery strikes, we can see clear operational patterns forming around key sectors, especially Pokrovsk and Huliaipole, revealing where Russia is concentrating firepower, logistics, and pressure ahead of its next major push.In this update, we break down the artillery data, battlefield trends, air war developments, logistics strain, and international support — all grounded in open-source reporting and mapped evidence, not guesswork." - Professor Gerdes.

"Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov just said something that crystallizes the entire war — and potentially the next ones. By invoking “ancestral Russian lands,” the Kremlin is reviving a justification framework that erases modern borders and turns history into a weapon.In this video, I break down what that phrase actually means, how it’s been used before, and why intelligence agencies in Estonia, Poland, Finland, and beyond are responding with urgency. We also examine Russia’s growing ammunition production, demands for so-called “security guarantees,” and how all of this fits into a broader geopolitical reshuffle involving Iran, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the EU.Finally, we address a few unrelated but timely clarifications and developments — including misinformation corrections, the Epstein file controversy, and a reminder that heroism sometimes shows up in the most unexpected places.Facts over noise. Context over headlines. Truth over talking points." - Professor Gerdes.

"The Olympic Committee attempted to enforce “neutrality” by banning a Ukrainian skeleton racer’s helmet — a helmet honoring friends who were killed defending Ukraine. What followed was a textbook case of psychological reactance: suppress the message, and you amplify it. In this video, we examine who Vladyslav Heraskevych is, what his tribute actually showed, and why the IOC’s justification collapsed under scrutiny. We compare the ban to other Olympic controversies, explain the sheer danger of skeleton racing, and walk through how public reaction, media coverage, and even Ukrainian leadership turned this moment into something far larger than sport. This wasn’t about politics. It was about memory, dignity, and why attempts to silence meaning so often fail." - Professor Gerdes.

The United Nations rapporteur on the human rights situation in Ukraine, Danielle Bell, has presented her 2025 report. (Source) She reports a serious deterioration of the situation in the conflict zone. Most violations and almost all war crimes were committed by Russian forces.

Accusations against Russia:

• Crimes against humanity: protracted campaign to kill and terrorise civilians in the Kherson, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions
• Murder of at least 96 Ukrainian soldiers after their surrender
• 98% of Ukrainian prisoners of war in Russian hands suffer torture, deprivation of food and medicine; 75% suffer sexual violence. Deaths in Russian captivity are frequent. Russian authorities now attempt to hide this ill-treatment by providing better food to POWs in the weeks leading up to prisoner exchanges
• Continued deliberate attacks on civilian targets, particularly against vital infrastructure, in violation of international law
• Russian infantrymen and drone pilots habitually kill Ukrainian soldiers who are hors de combat
• Absolute disregard for collateral damages
• Serious human rights violations in the occupied territories, including at least 182 extrajudicial executions
• Russia continues to deport the "politically suspect" from the occupied territories to as far away locations as Georgia
• Occupying authorities fail to fulfil their duty to provide for the civilian population and uphold order

Accusations against Ukraine:

• Murder of at least 4 Russian soldiers after their surrender
• Russians held by Ukraine are mistreated and sometimes tortured whilst en route to POW camps; their treatment within POW camps, however, is generally good and in compliance with international law
• Ukrainian drone pilots sometimes kill Russian soldiers who are hors de combat
• Ukrainian authorities prosecute Ukrainian citizens living under Russian occupation for acts of alleged collaboration, even if these acts are insignificant or were ordered lawfully (under international law) by Russian occupation authorities

Ukraine has received the Spanish long-range early warning radar Lanza LTR-25.

The radar system is capable of detecting drones, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and aircraft at distances exceeding 450 kilometers. It can be successfully integrated into Ukraine’s existing air defense systems that are compatible with NATO standards.

Denmark ordered these self-propelled howitzers from France in 2017. The Caesars were delayed for a long time while defects were being corrected. Denmark subsequently transferred the Caesars to Ukraine. The Ukrainian Caesar was damaged as a result of the Lancet-51 drone strike. The video was filmed in the Zaporizhzhia region.
