“At the heart of the operation in Tokyo is a secretive Russian military intelligence unit known as the 20th Directorate, whose role has never been publicly disclosed. Posing as diplomats or businesspeople, its officers work to buy or steal battlefield technology and smuggle it into Russia, according to current and former officials at five Western intelligence agencies. The man overseeing the 20th Directorate’s operation in Tokyo maintains a cover identity as an employee of the Russian state airline Aeroflot, according to current officials from four of those intelligence agencies. He plays a crucial role in supplying Russia’s war machine… Mr. Filchenkov began developing relationships with logistics companies that ship goods from Japan to Russia, according to business records and interviews. Western officials have warned Japan that relationships like these help G.R.U. officers buy sensitive technology under false pretenses and send it to Russia, sometimes using bogus shipping records.” @jane__bradley @mschwirtz & Adam Goldman nytimes.com/2026/07/12/wor…

Moscow residents were asked about the possibility of introducing martial law in Russia. Some of their answers: "There might be another mobilization in October. It's needed to strengthen Russia's military position, finally win, and take Crimea back." "Martial law won't be imposed because the 'special military operation' is already nearing its end. You can see it from the battlefield reports and the defense minister's briefings." "It's necessary simply to restore basic order in the country." "I don't think anything can threaten Russia right now, so there won't be martial law." "The situation is pretty dire because Ukraine is rapidly stockpiling large numbers of high-quality drones. All we have are manpower and nuclear weapons." "Mobilization will help in the short term, but not in the long term. If it doesn’t work, nuclear weapons will be used." 📹: Sota

It looks like Russia is ramping up covert mobilization: Reports are emerging from several Russian regions about raids conducted by military enlistment offices and police, involving document checks and the detention of draft-age men directly on the streets. Eyewitnesses describe dragnets and people being forcibly taken to enlistment centers. For now, it is an attempt to find working models and gauge public sentiment. However, mobilization is inevitable: for the fifth consecutive month, Russian army casualties have outpaced recruitment rates. Very soon, mobilization could affect every draft-age man in Russia. The average lifespan of a Russian assault soldier is about one week. For those who do not want to become Putin's assault fodder, there is still an opportunity to save their lives and leave Russia. For those who have already signed a contract, it is worth remembering that surrendering is one of the few chances to survive. This can be done by contacting "I Want to Live" (Khochu Zhit), the unified center for receiving applications for the voluntary surrender of Russian Armed Forces personnel.

Ukraine’s drone campaign has reportedly forced Russia to suspend all shipping in the Azov Sea and through the Volga-Don canal, bottling up one fourth of Russia’s grain exports. The strait of Kerch has become Moscow’s strait of Hormuz, of sorts. The latest video from Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces shows why. reuters.com/business/rpt-r…

Tyskfagets død er et udtryk for, at almendannelse er under afvikling. Krisen er reel. Og den er i folkeskolen og i gymnasiet. Den smitter også af på universiteterne. Eleverne mangler flid, og for mange er uddannelse i dag instrumentel, skriver underviser.berlingske.dk/synspunkter/ve…

The new age of illiteracy. If you only are scrutinizing texts and memes socialmedia and podcasts, you need to read novels and history-books.

New in The Atlantic this morning: an extraordinary cover story by @rosehorowitch. If you’re generally only reading tweets, emails, texts, and machine-generated sentences, you should really, really read this story (and after that, a novel!): theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

Incredible deep-dive by my friend @huibmodderkolk and company into how Dutch intelligence (AIVD and MIVD) missed the full-scale invasion and was adamant it wouldn't happen, based on assumptions about Putin and a well-placed asset in Russia. "Only a tiny circle of confidants — perhaps ten people at most — knew about Putin’s war plans. It explains the mismatch with the Americans. The US intelligence agencies evidently had access to someone or something inside that innermost circle." volkskrant.nl/kijkverder/v/2…
