🇺🇸🇵🇱 U.S. Pulls Troops and Equipment from Key Ukraine Aid Hub in Poland

The United States is withdrawing military personnel and equipment from the Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport in southeastern Poland—formerly the main logistics hub for arming Ukraine—according to a statement from U.S. European and African Command.

American forces had been operating out of the Jasionka airport since the start of the conflict in Ukraine, managing shipments of weapons and supplies into Ukraine. That role is now being handed over to Poland and NATO.

"We have been putting pressure on you and we will continue to put pressure on you"

Siberian fighters from the SVO zone responded to the enemy's sabotage in the Irkutsk region and attempt to intimidate civilians, including the families of our defenders.

"Instead of panic and discord among us, you have only achieved strengthening and even greater unification of the great Russian people. All you can do is lay down your arms or go to your idol Bandera.

"Victory will be ours," the fighters declared.

Kiev Drones Attack Russian Air Bases,
Inflict Damage;
Russia Undeterred,
Ukraine Army Chief Resigns

https://x.com/GeromanAT/status/1929595950768554097

Via DD Geopolitics on Telegram, and I hadn't remembered the (so-called) "compensation" scheme. This is a good observation although, very sadly, my hunch is that the Ukrainian regime will accept the bodies, but then proceed to plunder them for organs for trafficking and any one of the other sick and twisted things that entity is engaged in. Sorry, perhaps that overly cynical, but there seems no end to their depravity. Anyway....

Russia just stuck Ukraine with a 103.6 billion hryvnia ($2.5 billion) bill

That’s what Kiev now owes to the families of 6,000 dead soldiers—assuming all the bodies are identifiable.

Under Ukrainian law, each family is entitled to up to 17.27 million hryvnias, or about $422,800.

Multiply that by 6,000 and the total hits 103.6 billion hryvnias, or $2.5 billion USD.

ℹ️As of June 2025, the Ukrainian government provides a one-time financial compensation to the families of military personnel who have died in the line of duty. The standard compensation amount is 15 million Ukrainian hryvnias (UAH), which is approximately $367,200 USD at current exchange rates.

Additionally, there is a separate provision for a one-time cash benefit calculated as 750 times the subsistence minimum for able-bodied individuals, which, as of January 1, 2024, is 3,028 UAH. This results in a payment of approximately 2,271,000 UAH (around $55,600 USD)

Maybe they will pay out but my instincts tell me they won't: pity those poor families :flower:

I've not heard this mentioned anywhere else yet. As the TU-95s are no longer made, I'd expect that any that were damaged beyond repair will be replaced 1:1 by the same number of much more modern supersonic TU-160s.

A little cost, but a pinprick to Russia's economy, and zero damage to Russia's Air Force once the new planes have been delivered.

Edit to add:

Alexander Mercouris has been discussing the Russian strategic bomber fleet in his video update for today, starting at about 25:50. He reported that the Russians have 50 (fifty) TU-160s in line to be built, as the TU-95s (which first flew way back in 1952) really do need replacing now, as useful, practical and reliable as they have been for so many decades.

‼️🇹🇷🇷🇺🇺🇦 Interesting statement from Medinsky regarding the supposed "exchange" of fallen soldiers — which #Ukraine claimed had been agreed.

In reality, no exchange was negotiated. Instead, the #Russian side unilaterally offered to return the bodies of some fallen Ukrainian soldiers, most of whom have already been identified.

What adds another layer to this is that, under this offer, the #Zelenskyy regime will now have to pay compensation to the families of these soldiers.

🇷🇺🚂 He died saving hundreds of lives.

At the time of the #Ukrainian terrorist attack in the Bryansk region, the train driver Pavel Mishin demonstrated courage and selflessness. #Russia

Noticing an obstacle that had suddenly appeared on the track, he immediately applied emergency braking, ordered his assistant to leave the cabin and take shelter in the engine room. The measures that Pavel managed to take, sacrificing himself, allowed the train to slow down by the time of the collision, thereby saving hundreds of passengers' lives.

Pavel himself died, he was 34 years old. According to his wife, he dreamed of becoming a machinist from an early age and was passionate about this profession. Before his last working day, Pavel promised his family that they would go on vacation. He left behind two daughters, the youngest is now 6 years old.

‼️🥀The Kingdom of Heaven to Paul!

✍️ The plan to support the employment of SVO participants has been approved by the Russian government. Veterans will be helped not only to find work, but also to improve their skills and competence, as well as to obtain a new profession, Mikhail Mishustin said.

"Together with the Fatherland Defenders Foundation, we must deal with this proactively. In full and in the shortest possible time, resolve any issues that people may face," the Prime Minister added.

The goal of the plan is to cover every returning soldier with state support measures for employment, depending on his life situation and needs.

📍As Tatyana Golikova noted, 57% of demobilized military personnel are employed, 80% of them work under an employment contract.
