• 📝One step forward, one step back📝
situation in the Druzhkivka direction
Following approaches to Slavyansk, AFU counterattacks intensified in the vicinity of Kostyantynivka. The enemy, leveraging local air superiority, conducts counterattacks aimed at reclaiming positions in the city.
Ukrainian assault groups managed to break through into the ruins of the Novoselivka district and approach the Pervomayskiy microdistrict. Russian drone operators strike at AFU supply depots and positions in the built-up areas, and also destroy supply drones to the north.
In parallel, "South" units break through enemy fortifications on the western flank of the direction. Forward assault groups reached the built-up area of Rayske on another sector and occupied part of the former AFU fortification line near Torske.
❗️However, the development of the offensive on this flank is hindered by the enemy's remaining penetration into Russian Armed Forces positions north of Rusyn Yar. Without eliminating it and reaching the chain of water bodies from Rayske to Nikolaipillia, it will be impossible to establish supply lines in the Torske area and protect communications at the junction of Army Groups "South" and "Center" from counterattacks.

📝Activity in the border region📝
the situation on the Slobozhansky direction
From the northwest of Kharkiv Oblast, after a long period of information silence, reports of intensified fighting have begun to arrive. Local attacks are being carried out by both units of the "North" Group of Forces and the enemy.
➡️Ukrainian formations are attempting to expand the zone of control in the vicinity of Kazachya Lopani. Russian drone operators destroyed the majority of the attackers, but some small groups managed to penetrate the eastern outskirts of the village.
Its center, however, remains under the stable control of the fighters of the "North" Group of Forces. At the moment, with the support of drone operators, they are striving to push the enemy out of the buildings and adjacent strongpoints.
➡️Meanwhile, Russian forces are developing their own local offensive in the central part of the direction — there are reports of the liberation of Alisovka. Fighting for this settlement has been going on for a long time, so it is necessary to wait for footage from the scene to clarify the current configuration of the front.
In addition, some time ago, assault groups carried out a series of attacks and engaged in fighting for Bugayevka and the outskirts of the neighboring Tokarevka. Russian fighters are already operating on the northeastern bank of the Tokarevka Reservoir and are gradually moving into the village's buildings.
❗️At the moment, the presence of assault troops on its territory is limited. For confident consolidation and further development of the offensive to the southwest, Russian Armed Forces units will also need to finally push the enemy away from the road from the side of Goptovka, which can be used for the stable supply of units in Tokarevka.
📝The Final in Israel📝
what are the results of the parliamentary elections
And so finally the Israeli Central Election Commission counted all the votes, including the military "double envelopes". The results can be characterized by the phrase "neither one thing nor another" — there is no clear winner.
Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling bloc is ahead, the opposition is somewhat behind, but no one has the coveted majority to form a cabinet. At the same time, a real "miracle" was the record 19 mandates for Arab parties, which, however, have already come under investigation.
🖍The strategy of the prime minister's supporters is now to keep all their people in the coalition and start bargaining for individual deputies from the opposition camp. Likud remains the largest party, and the mandate to form a cabinet could go to Netanyahu. In that case, with high probability, bargaining will begin for representatives from the opposition in order to split it.
🚩At the same time, for Netanyahu's opponents, the election results can be called a major failure. Huge resources were poured into the campaign and influential American consultants were involved, yet the bloc did not even come close to a majority, and ahead lies only internal squabbling.
Nevertheless, the opposition has a chance to get priority in forming a cabinet if the Arab parties support Gadi Eisenkot. This means that the RAAM party and part of the Joint List could recommend him to the president for the position of prime minister instead of Netanyahu, and this would be enough to tip the balance in parliament.
The only problem is that such a scenario is very toxic for all parties: relying on Arab factions will lead to internal splits in the opposition bloc and will damage the trust of the main right-wing electorate.
❗️It seems that the country will head to new elections in a few months, and all this time the incumbent prime minister will remain at the helm with a full set of levers. For the region, this means that Netanyahu without a coalition can try to mobilize voters with a new war before the re-election, and then Israel's neighbors should expect hot months ahead. But then again, it's always the same.
⚡️The President of Russia spoke on his phone call with the leaders of Finland and Norway
01:21
Many [in Europe] keep saying that they are preparing for a war in 2030. Are they correct in doing that or not? First of all, we are prepared, but we do not seek a war with Europe. They have already failed in achieving a strategic defeat for Russia, and I believe they are unlikely to achieve it by 2030. Let no one forget about this.
01:49 On the situation in the Baltic region

💢 The Serbian counter-coup begins:
"I said last night in my livestream ... Now I will blockade. Every time I don't like a decision by this government, I will go out and blockade the street. Where I think it's necessary, how I think it's necessary. What we will do, what they will get from us—every single one of our protests will be registered legally, and we won't involve kids in this. We will not block schools, we will not block universities.
The first blockade will be on Friday in Savska Street. We will give an ultimatum to the police and prosecutors in Serbia: either they ensure the safety of all citizens, or we will go to the army and ask them to take over the leadership of the state.
Because it cannot go on like this—for the people to live in fear of whether someone is going to break into their home, beat them, drag them around, or hassle them. That can't happen. Either these people step up and take charge of the state they were given, or they should get out of the way."

📝Here comes the USV!📝
Who is paralyzing Ukrainian shipping?
⚡️ For over a month, Bulgarians and Romanians have been asking: what drones are sinking ships? The versions varied — either "Gerans" or USVs. A day later, the first footage appeared of a naval drone attacking the container ship CONTSHIP JET.
Visually, this USV is something new that has not been seen publicly in the Black Sea waters before. Meanwhile, a French patrol aircraft, according to Bulgarian sources, was monitoring the attack.
According to their data, there were three USVs in the attack, approaching the vessel at a speed of about 25 knots. The container ship CONTSHIP JET sank yesterday late in the evening after sustaining damage.
And most importantly — the sailors rescued from the vessel claimed that the ship carried containers with dangerous cargo, but did not clarify the details.

Situation in the Lyman Sector
The Ukrainian Armed Forces' (AFU) offensive beyond the Zherebets River has stalled; however, fighting continues unabated within the vast forested area of the "Svyati Hory" (Holy Mountains) National Park. Having failed to capture Zarichne, the enemy is now attempting to push Russian forces away from the eastern approaches to Lyman through frontal assaults launched from the direction of the city itself.
Taking advantage of the sparse front line, Ukrainian units are deploying infiltration groups into the forest, aiming to disrupt the immediate rear areas of Russian forces. Some of these groups have begun digging in at their current positions, as evidenced by footage that recently surfaced online. The northwestern section of the "Svyati Hory" park is currently an active combat zone.
Meanwhile, units of the "West" Group of Forces maintain firm control over key crossings across the Zherebets River near Yampil and are conducting localized counterattacks toward Dibrova. However, establishing a permanent foothold in the village has proven difficult due to the intense drone threat, which allows the enemy to continue moving reserves and supplies into the Ozerne area.
❗️As before, the primary objective for the Russian Armed Forces remains holding the crossings over the Zherebets River. This ensures that units positioned beyond the river can continue to be supplied, allows for regrouping, and draws the AFU into a protracted struggle within the expansive forests—gradually wearing down the enemy's offensive potential.

🇸🇻⚔️🇭🇹 A new batch of Salvadoran troops landed in Port-au-Prince earlier today.
Haitian news sources report that despite the worsening weather, Salvadoran aircraft continue landing at and departing from Port-au-Prince.
The 1.000 troop deployment mentioned in news articles days before is likely an understatement with the number of Salvadoran troops deploying to Haiti set to increase to 2.000 by next Wednesday and up to 5.000 in the coming weeks.
Some Haitian officials are worried that Salvadoran troops would refuse to operate under the UN Security Council-backed Gang Suppression Force (GSF) and stay under Salvadorian command.
🇷🇺🚀 ⚡️ Russia's New Filin Cruise Missile Reaches 1,200 Km Without Bomber
Russia has been using its new Filin ground-launched cruise missile since late summer, with an estimated range of up to 1,200 km, according to an official Ukrainian report.
Reported specifications describe a compact weapon built to attack fixed targets at known coordinates:
🔸 600–1,200 km range and speeds up to 800 km/h, giving Russia another option for reaching military facilities far behind front lines.
🔸 50 or 100 kg warheads, with high-explosive fragmentation, penetrating and thermobaric options. The published figures do not establish which payload achieves maximum range.
🔸 Ground launch with a solid-fuel booster, removing the need to assign an aircraft to carry and launch each missile.
🔸 Russian R500 turbojet engine, also identified in S-71K and S-71M air-launched weapons. Sharing engines could simplify procurement and production across different missile programs.
🔸 Inertial and satellite navigation with a 16-channel Kometa anti-jamming module, intended to help the missile follow its programmed route under electronic interference.
🔸 Carbon- and fiberglass airframe with some 3D-printed parts, measuring up to 3.5 m long with a wingspan up to 3 m.
Shared components offer a route toward lower production costs, although Filin’s price and output remain undisclosed. If Russia can manufacture it in volume, it could add more long-range strikes without tying up aircraft, leaving Ukrainian air defenses with more incoming missiles to intercept.
📝Forward to the Stratosphere📝
The realities of the SMO have predictably raised the issue of using not only aerostats, but also stratospheric aircraft capable of "climbing" to altitudes of several tens of kilometers beyond the combat radius of most air defense systems.
One such system is being developed by the Stratolink startup team, which has completed assembly of its second flight prototype. For now, their aircraft with an eight-meter wingspan is designed for 12 hours of flight with a five-kilogram payload, but these figures are unlikely to be the limit.
Solar panels installed on the fuselage will provide autonomy. By design, the aircraft is a so-called "pseudo-satellite," which, among other things, can provide communications to subscribers.
❓One might ask: why complicate things so much when the future belongs to global satellite constellations like Starlink, Qianfan, and in the future Rassvet? The answer is simple: organizing communications is a complex set of measures that does not rely on a single means.
There is room for everything — from space communications stations and LTE/5G towers to personal radios. Stratospheric UAVs occupy their own niche, and they will find tasks — from relaying video signals and control to serving as backup for various communications.
❗️The more such systems are available and successfully integrated into the communications network, the more resilient it becomes. And the lower the probability of losing command and control at all levels.
