Some 89% of Ukrainians believe it is unacceptable to give up the parts of Ukrainian territories to reach peace with Russia, the poll conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago with funding from the Wall Street Journal says.

Russian has been publishing that it is considering taking out NATO's "decision-making centers", should NATO keep up its aggression toward Russia; but recently, Russia published the GPS coordinates of the targets: https://halturnerradioshow.com/inde...lished-coordinates-of-decision-making-centers

1/ Stoltenberg: “The number 300,000 is the first and the second tier. One part of that is ready within 10 days and the second part…within 30 days. And together this is well over 300,000 troops. We will continue to work on this. The plan is to have this in place by next year.”

2/ It seems that a third of NATO’s new force model—100,000 troops out of 300,000—will be on under 10 days’ readiness. That seems pretty impressive, given that majority of VJTF, which was 5,000-strong spearhead force of NATO Response Force, was on less than seven days’ readiness.

#NATO’s new force model will provide more troops at higher readiness, pre-assigned to specific defence plans. It will improve NATO’s ability to respond at very short notice to any contingency.

I'm thinking about when Russia started positioning its troops on the border with Ukraine a few months ago.

Russian government is requesting a law change to allow broader mobilization, shifting industry to war mode, opening emergency war stockpiles etc. The Putin's 3-day war is looking more and more like a war of attrition that is crippling Russia in multiple levels.

MOBILIZATION OF RUSSIAN ECONOMY/MILITARY & NEW SWEEPING LEGISLATION

The bill has been submitted to the State Duma. They are proposed amendments to the law "On Defense" - they want to supplement it with an article "Ensuring the conduct of counter-terrorist and other operations by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, other troops, military formations and...

That the Russian military & its much-touted Black Sea Fleet couldn't secure an island 170 miles from its homeport from a war-torn adversary with fixed-wing combat aircraft numbering in the dozens & no real operable Navy is an absolute stunning failure of massive proportions.

Give it time someone will spin it as a inconsequential event in the course of the war and it was never really a strategic victory.

They announced an exercise to practise the defense of the bridge. So apparently this is some "cover smoke"? I don't know. It's weird but announced.

They've done this sort of thing before. Severomorsk, 2016. Two-day smokescreen cover over the Northern Fleet homeport. That one was interpreted as an asset concealment exercise. Not sure what they would want to conceal in this instance - certainly not the bridge itself; perhaps whatever was crossing the bridge... But that's a weak theory. Your guess is a good as mine.

Earlier today Russian Ministry of Defence claimed that Snake Island is under full fire control of Russian Navy and Air Forces - likely "show of forces" as a kind of prove

Can you imagine how angry the Black Sea fleet commander is. He just lost the most strategic island in the sea. And now his pilots just missed the island with their strikes in front of the whole world.

Lukashenka claims Ukrainian military attempted to strike military installations in Belarus, but all missiles were intercepted. Says now Belarusian missiles aimed to "centers of decision making against Belarus" Made big pseudo-historic speech

This might have sounded somewhat realistic if he wouldn't add that a Russian-made Pantsyr shot down several missiles.
