🚨 MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT: Analysis shows how Ukraine bypassed Russian air defenses. The strategy relied on massive drone swarms to overwhelm the grid. This effort used nearly 1,000 drones to exhaust the radar and interceptor capacity of advanced systems like the S-400.

⚡️Ukrainian forces struck the automobile bridge across the Henichesk Strait near occupied Henichesk in the Kherson region, further crippling Moscow’s supply corridor to occupied southern Ukraine and Crimea. This bridge, along with the recently hit Chonhar, Armyansk-Perekop routes, and others, forms Russia’s lifeline for moving troops, fuel, ammunition, and reinforcements. By systematically targeting these crossings, Ukraine is forcing Russia into slower, more vulnerable detours, exposing convoys to additional strikes, and raising the cost of sustaining their positions on the left bank of the Dnipro. The impact is already visible on the ground: residents on the Ukrainian-controlled right bank of Kherson report that after these bridge strikes, the number of Russian attacking drones and artillery shells pounding their areas has decreased enormously, bringing a noticeable relief.

Russian troops advancing in Ukraine discover the skeletal remains of an entire Ukrainian infantry section killed a year before by a Russian airstrike. This reality is repeated daily. Ukraine intentionally leaves its dead in the field to avoid payments to families.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
Yesterday, the President of Poland noted that the Order of the White Eagle is not an ordinary award. It is a symbol of the highest trust of the Republic of Poland. It signifies a special bond with the Polish state and the special gratitude of the Polish People. Such a symbol requires not only merit, but also respect for the values that form the foundation of our community. Therefore, if it is considered that this special symbol may remain with Catherine II, Benito Mussolini, and Gerhard Schröder, then we in Ukraine will not argue with that. Ukraine is grateful to the Polish People for their support and cooperation, which play a significant role in the struggle for our and your independence from Russia. Ukraine never forgets solidarity and understands that cooperation between states and peoples in our region is one of the tangible security guarantees for Ukrainians and for each neighboring state. Ukraine will continue to defend itself in this war unleashed by Russia, and we will undoubtedly achieve a dignified peace. Ukraine is grateful to all peoples, states, and leaders who will continue to stand with us in the defense of freedom and who, together with Ukraine, will serve as guarantors of postwar peace in Europe and a new, real security. Ukraine will remain open to all meaningful formats of engagement with Poland in order to try to avoid conflicting interpretations of the difficult and painful chapters of our shared past and to ensure proper respect for all innocent victims of the 20th century. And Ukrainians are doing everything in our power to ensure that Europe does not suffer defeat in this century. I am proud of our people and of EVERY Ukrainian warrior – of the millions of Ukrainian men and women who deserve unquestionable respect for the heroism the Ukrainian People have shown in defending themselves against Russian aggression. We believed that the Order of the White Eagle, awarded in 2023, was meant for the Ukrainian People and our army. That is what was said at the time. Today, I sent the Order back to the President of Poland. I believe the future will confirm the respect Ukrainians deserve. Glory to Ukraine!

Preach, Poroschenko: “ I don’t want Poles to edit our textbooks, and I in no way claim that we Ukrainians should correct Polish textbooks, because otherwise they’ll send us a joint textbook from Moscow.”
Петро Порошенко@poroshenko

«Якщо ми будемо сваритися через минуле, майбутнє виграє хтось інший. Президенти України та Польщі повинні нарешті це зрозуміти. Поки не стало запізно!». Це слова прем’єр-міністра Польщі Дональда Туска. «Переможцем у війні за історію та ордени може стати лише Москва», — думка міністра закордонних справ Польщі Радослава Сікорського. Згоден з обома, бо в десятку. В той же час вважаю помилковим рішення Президента Польщі Кароля Навроцького і несправедливим по відношенню до народу України. Не випадково його вже привітав медведєв. кремль завжди аплодує всьому, що послаблює єдність між Україною та Польщею. І у випадку Зеленського, і в моєму випадку нагороджували не глав держави, а українців, наших воїнів, які боронять Україну, Польщу і всю Європу. Тому я прийняв рішення відмовитися від Ордену Білого Орла. Два тижні тому я обіцяв колегам на погоджувальній раді зробити цей крок, якщо нам не вдасться переконати Президента Навроцького не робити хибне рішення. На жаль, не вдалося. Отже, попри те, що незаконним антиконституційним рішенням української влади через санкції мене позбавлено всіх державних нагород, я ухвалив рішення відмовитися від Ордена Білого Орла. Це мій жест у відповідь на рішення Президента Польщі. Але цей крок жодним чином не адресований польському народові! Незмінною залишається моя вдячність Польщі за підтримку України та українців у важкі часи. Незмінним залишається моя глибока  переконаність у стратегічній дорогоцінності українсько-польського партнерства. Незмінними залишається моя повага до своїх колег та друзів президентів Квасьнєвського, Коморовського і Дуди, прем’єра Туска, міністра закордонних справ Сікорського і решти польських політиків, з якими ми будували і продовжимо будувати міцне партнерство, я би навіть сказав союзництво. Ті в Польщі, хто не пережовує історичні міфи, а вивчає історію і робить висновки з її уроків, знає, шо після того як Україна втрачає незалежність, її втрачає і Польща. Але не минуле має визначати наші стосунки. Я не хочу щоб поляки редагували наші підручники і жодним чином не претендую на те, щоб ми українці корегували польські підручники, бо інакше нам пришлють спільний підручник із москви. Але сьогодні варто поставити кілька чесних запитань. Хто довів українсько-польські відносини до ситуації, коли історичні суперечки знову почали домінувати над питаннями спільної безпеки? Хто підставив українську державу, допустивши перетворення складних сторінок історії на інструмент політичної конфронтації? Хто не побачив або не захотів побачити, що від цієї ескалації виграє лише одна столиця — москва? У цій війні надзвичайно важлива логістика. Україна щодня руйнує логістику ворога в окупованому Криму, намагаючись ускладнити постачання російської армії. Натомість росія через своїх агентів впливу, через корисних ідіотів і через старі історичні рани намагається руйнувати нашу логістику на заході — там, де проходять ключові маршрути підтримки України. Для нас Жешув — це не просто польське місто. Це один із символів міжнародної солідарності з Україною. Тому будь-яка криза між Києвом і Варшавою сьогодні — це не лише проблема дипломатії. Це питання безпеки. І саме тому її потрібно вирішувати негайно. Сьогодні важливо не поглиблювати конфлікт, а завершити його. Я завжди згадую слова Святого Івана Павла ІІ: «Прощаємо і просимо прощення». Саме ця формула свого часу допомогла нашим народам знайти шлях до примирення і партнерства. Тому пропоную вже з понеділка шукати рішення, які дозволять не поглибити нинішню кризу, а перетворити її на поштовх до нового етапу українсько-польського партнерства — чесного, дружнього, стратегічного. Політики можуть собі дозволити політичні жести, але дипломати мають не орденами кидатися, а долати кризу.

Europe will build its own anti–ballistic capabilities – this is an urgent issue. Ukraine is not giving up, so we will definitely see this through. This is our initiative, which we’re carrying out together with partners. Putin wants to see everything in our country go up in flames, and he’s a madman – our partners can sense that. Ukraine is ready for negotiations with him despite all this. But Europe must throw its full weight behind this effort so that we have a strong position. It must throw its full weight behind sanctions – with no exceptions. Behind confiscation – with no exceptions. And behind funding Ukraine. From answers to journalists’ questions. (2/3)

@IuliiaMendel Nobody asks ordinary Russians anything anyway. Putin has absolutely destroyed Russia's political life by literally getting rid of every opposition leader. So Russia's military defeat in Ukraine seems the only solution.

Over 60% of Russians are tired of the war in Ukraine, according to Meduza citing Faridaily closed sociological polls indicate. The number of people willing to accept a non-victorious end to the conflict is growing. In focus groups, voters openly say: “We need a solution. End the war one way or another. If you can hit harder — hit. If you can do something else — do it.” Fatigue is also widespread among the elites: “Everyone is tired. Nothing is moving forward or backward.” There is no mood for defeat — rather a demand for Putin to finally resolve the issue he started — yet sources close to the government admit that no one truly understands the war plan or what the future holds.

@IuliiaMendel How can you say, "... for Putin to finally resolve the issue he started..." Please tell me you're not repeating the jaded NATO mantra, "unprovoked invasion." No war has been more provoked than the NATO war against Russia sacrificing Ukrainians as proxies.

Very soon, humans will not able to move anywhere on the battlefield without being identified. And the front line is already not a line but a 25km-plus wide zone of death by drones. Bob Seely, a British war veteran and former MP, spends much time in Ukraine, where he also is co-founder of a mil-tech startup. Listen in as Bob and I unpack his codification of the doctrines of modern warfare as seen in Ukraine in our COALITION OF THE DOING podcast from UnderFire.News

- Poland and Ukraine are destined to be competitors. The question is not how to avoid competition. The question is whether, as France and Germany once did, they can channel that competition into a shared strategic project. The Polish-Ukrainian rupture of the seventeenth century strengthened Moscow and helped reshape the course of European history. Today, history has offered a second chance. The challenge is to be wise enough to seize it.

The 🇺🇦-🇵🇱 Order Wars are now in full swing. Ukrainians, if any of you happen to possess Polish decorations, medals, honors, ribbons, badges, or other symbols of friendship, please return them immediately to Poland. After all, Poland has committed the unforgivable offense of wanting to bury all of its murdered citizens with dignity—including those killed by Ukrainian grandfathers shouting "Slava Ukraini."🇺🇦

Lately my social feeds have been inundated by Russian influencers and others pushing this 1970s German song about "Moscow." Well, I think it's suitable to listen to it while watching these lovely scenes of war-mongering Moscow on fire, thanks to Ukrainian drones and to hapless Russian air-defense. Stop the Russian war machine! UnderFire.News

@MultipolarA @DakdaR22 Of course there is possibility to cause less civilian casualties. Just don't bomb maternity wards, kindergardens, civilian buildings, shopping centers, churches. It's realy easy. Look at the attack on Moscow. Casualties zero. Because Ukrainians unlike ruSSian scum are humans.

🇺🇦 -Budanov: "The Russians were not mentally prepared for the possibility of drones—and sometimes missiles—arriving on a massive scale. For them, this is a shock. Their society is neither prepared nor willing to accept it. They believed this could never happen because they are very strong, very powerful, and everyone is afraid of them. It turns out that's not the case..." (Clash Report)

Russian Oil & Gas Monitor@RusOilGasExpert·
➡️ Russian piped gas accounted for 37% of Turkey's gas supply in 2025. ➡️ Isolating Russian molecules in the Turkish system to ensure they don't flow to Europe would likely be nearly impossible. ➡️ Thus, Turkey will be faced with a hard choice: 1⃣ Lose a huge and relatively-affordable supply source for its own economy, or 2⃣ Abandon its ambition to become a regional gas hub based on its geographical position between suppliers like Russia and Iran and Europe's undersupplied market. #oott #Russia #Türkiye #gas @barissanli
Giovanni Staunovo🛢@staunovo

German Economy Minister Katherina Reiche said Turkey understands the European Union’s position that gas imported under new contracts with the bloc must not originate in Russia. Brussels will insist on non-Russian supplies in any future agreements involving Turkey, Reiche said in Ankara on Friday. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

A disgraceful act by Poland’s president. President Karol Nawrocki has stripped Volodymyr Zelensky of the Order of the White Eagle — Poland’s highest state honor — after a Ukrainian Special Operations Forces unit was named after UPA heroes. Zelensky received the award from former President Andrzej Duda in April 2023 in recognition of his contribution to strengthening Polish-Ukrainian relations. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha condemned the decision: “We regret that emotions have prevailed in Warsaw and led Polish politicians to take unjustified, impulsive, and disrespectful steps directed not only against President Zelensky, but above all against the Ukrainian state. The decision to strip the President of Ukraine of the Order of the White Eagle is a strategic mistake that will benefit only Moscow.” Sybiha also announced that he was renouncing his own Polish state decoration, the Commander’s Cross with Star of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland. Nawrocki has not merely insulted President Zelensky. He has insulted the Ukrainian people, who for five years have been fighting a brutal war against russia and, in doing so, have helped defend all of Europe — including Poland. History will judge who truly strengthened Polish-Ukrainian friendship, and who weakened it for short-term political gain.

@MultipolarA @DakdaR22 The civilian casualties could be even lower if orcs didn't deliberately target civilian buildings and didn't do the drone safari, hunting civilians on the streets, because they don't know how to fight, they know only how to terorize.
