🇸🇪 Drones spotted near Swedish Navy base

For background, go to the Jewish Women's Archive! jwa.org/encyclopedia...

A guess: this would leak anyway, especially something on this scale; and every single person in the Pentagon except Hegseth rightly thinks that this is insane and hopes publicity will make it not happen.

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

We need an associate lecturer in history of modern science @stsucl.bsky.social www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Russian monitoring channels report multiple UAV threats: alerts in Yevpatoria, Feodosiya, Kirovske, Taganrog, Azov, Donetsk area, Horlivka, and along the Kurakhove–Volnovakha–Taganrog axis. Several drone groups are detected heading toward occupied Crimea and Donbas.

Very interesting. Trump seems to finally be getting intelligence that Russia is not doing well and Ukraine has actually started to gain an upper hand in some areas. The narrative of Ukraine failure, which was always overblown, might be ending in Washington.

AN #EARLYMODERN POST!! They still exist! And a lovely one at that, for five years and with the brilliant people at KCL who have turned that place in quite the hub of exciting early modern research. Run, don’t walk.

For the first time in combat history, Ukraine’s military intelligence confirmed the destruction of two Soviet-designed Be-12 “Chaika” anti-submarine planes. The strike hit occupied Crimea — and took out a piece of Russia’s aging maritime aviation. www.kyivpost.com/post/60608

Supporting Ukraine is not some sort of charity - it recognizes how much we owe Ukrainians for defending their and our freedom. 'Back and Alive' is one of the best ways to donate.

🤬 Russians attack Ukraine with over 600 aerial assets, hits and debris fall recorded in 20 locations

Not only the Saratov refinery, which produces annually over 7 million tons in oil products, was hit by Ukrainian drones last night, but also the Novokuybyshevsk refinery in the Samara region, Russia, the latter producing 7.9 million tons in oil products, annually.

There is “absolutely no evidence” that Russia’s Vladimir Putin wants to negotiate peace in Ukraine, Sir Richard Moore, the outgoing chief of Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service, or MI6, said Friday in a speech.

Germany has changed its position and now supports expanding the use of frozen russian assets to finance Ukraine. Bloomberg notes that this turnaround comes from fears in Berlin: if Trump reduces U.S. support, the economic burden of aid will fall on Germany as the EU’s largest economy.👇

Imagine all cars were electric, and then one Volkswagen engineer comes up with another idea … #EMobility

Musk is inciting violence on London's streets.Tommy Robinson is financed by US tech bros. These are all very direct attempts to destabilise the British state. Starmer needs to stand up to this. A government that doesn't defend its country's values against these blatant attacks is not doing its job.

A train carrying 15 fuel tanks derailed in St. Petersburg, Russia. It is reported that sabotage may have been the cause.

The spot where the Russian fishing boat is stopped for unknown reasons is key to Baltic Shipping. Öresund strait is next to Great Belt the second main shipping route in and out of Baltic Sea.

fantastic documentary - saw it back in February at the Berlinale

💔Russians shelled Kostiantynivka for nearly an hour: 3 killed, 7 injured

Update: SBU drone strikes on Primorsk port yesterday damaged two shadow fleet tankers, Kusto and Cai Yun, Reuters reports. Operations at the key Russian oil terminal were temporarily halted. Experts estimate the port’s daily trade at around $100M.

Russia attacks Poland deliberately, the Trump response…”It could’ve been a mistake.” Any European state basing its defense plans on the US defending it from a Russian attack is living in a fantasy world and deliberately exposing its citizens to great risk.

Breaking news: Brazil’s supreme court has voted to convict former president Jair Bolsonaro for plotting a coup d’état, finding that the hard-right populist and Donald Trump ally sought to illegally remain in power after losing a 2022 election. on.ft.com/41NF7hi

Liebes ZDF-Mittagsmagazin: Charlie Kirk ist kein 'rechtskonservativer Aktivist', sondern ein Rechtsextremer, der Busse zum 6. Januar organisierte, die 'Great Replacement'-Verschwörung verbreitete und rassistische Thesen vertrat. Sorry, aber diese Verharmlosung ist journalistisches Versagen.

As Russia’s war expands across borders and ramps up in intensity, we need the support of our readers to show the world the reality — Russia isn’t stopping, and it won’t contain its war to respect countries, sovereignty, or alliances. Photo: Yan Dobronosov/Global Images Ukraine via Getty Images

Former provost Wroclaw University: ‘Politics of history' sounds so elegant, but it is just the use of historical facts with the purpose of manipulate society to achieve political objectives. It is thus propaganda using narratives considered to be 'history' wyborcza.pl/7,162657,322... Hear hear

Another Russian drone (this one is a Russian "Gerbera", military number «ЫЫ31402») was found in Poland after today’s attack. Drone crashed near Sulejów, in Mniszków, Opoczno County. 265 km from the Polish border.

👀

The main lesson from last night for Poland (indeed all NATO in CEE) should be that their defense starts in Ukraine. Imagine the results if Russians could launch a massive UAV attack on Poland from just over the border in Ukraine?

Russia launched around 60 Shahed drones and over 10 missiles at Lviv overnight, according to local authorities. Air defense mostly intercepted the attack, preventing major destruction. Debris damaged a civilian warehouse on Aviatsiyna Street. Fortunately, no casualties are reported.

A Russian Shahed drone struck a house in the Polish village of Wyryki overnight. Footage shows debris from the drone after it violated Polish, and thus NATO airspace.

Trump is P*tin’s asset and acts accordingly

Rheinmetall will produce mobile Skyranger anti-drone systems for Ukraine, with the first deliveries expected later this year. www.zdfheute.de/wirtschaft/u...

Wow

The collusion seems to include providing the Russian authorities with materials (from their confidential asylum applications!) used to send forcibly repatriated dissidents to prison. The depth of betrayal here is beyond words.

horrific attack

Viktoria Hrebeniuk, Program Director of “100% Life. Kyiv Region”, who since 2014 supported people with HIV/TB and vulnerable communities in Ukraine, was murdered in a Russian drone strike in Kyiv together with her baby son. Rest in peace 💔

Among the seriously wounded in today's air attack on Kyiv is a 24yo pregnant woman. Doctors are fighting for her and her baby’s lives. An emergency C-section was performed: the premature baby is in intensive care, and the mother has been transferred to a burn unit. Please — pray for them.

By far, this was the largest russian air attack which included 800+ drones and 13 missiles, targeting Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia and other cities. In Kyiv, the russians murdered a baby boy and his mom 💔 Multiple damage reported in the capital and across the country.

Night, my hometown, Kremenchuk, was also attacked by the russians. There were more than 40 explosions in the city. Local fishermen, who were on the river bank, saw the moment of shelling. The russians tried to destroy the bridge connecting the two banks.
