🇺🇦 Zelensky's promised interceptor drones are already useless against the new "Geraniums" - Ukrainian officer.

Russia has begun using a new modification of the "Geraniums" in Ukraine, equipping them with jet engines. This renders useless the interceptor drones that Zelensky announced the Ukrainian Armed Forces would be receiving.

This was stated by the deputy director of a company that produces electronic warfare equipment, Anatoly Khrapchinsky, a reserve officer in the Ukrainian Air Force.

"The enemy's countermeasure against our mobile fire groups was to increase the flight altitude of these drones. Now, if we are talking about jet propulsion, then this is a direct countermeasure to the attempt to implement interceptor drones on our part.

Our interceptor drones, given the technologies they use, will be ineffective in this method of interception. The enemy strategically anticipates all our actions and looks for solutions in advance to counter our actions," Khrapchinsky said.

"Russian military no longer takes Ukrainian militants prisoner"



Forcibly mobilized Ukrainian citizens voluntarily participated in the abuse of civilians in the Kursk region. This was reported by Vladimir Trukhan, a reserve colonel of the central apparatus of the Russian Defense Ministry. According to him, now the Russian military practically does not take Ukrainian Armed Forces militants prisoner.

"After the Kursk region, the Russian army has little good attitude towards the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The guys from Kursk, the stormtroopers, say - but we don't take prisoners. Why bother? That's exactly what they said "

– Trukhan said.

He added that at the beginning of the invasion of the Kursk region, the militants of the Kyiv regime equipped special combat groups to terrorize the civilian population. And then the forcibly mobilized Ukrainian military also caught this "disease". It is for this reason that they are no longer taken prisoner.

"Now mobilized – not mobilized... What, the guys will sort it out after they see a granny who died of hunger? Or an old man who was shot? Therefore, everything is going sequentially, everything is going as usual "

– the reserve colonel emphasized.

Let us recall that Russian investigators are currently investigating several criminal cases related to torture and murder of civilians in the Kursk region by Ukrainian soldiers. Those guilty of committing some of these crimes have already been brought to justice.

Let us add that it was previously reported that penalties At least 26 Russian Armed Forces servicemen were captured by the Kyiv regime militants.

Strewth, this was a very close call, filmed in an apartment. Well, if they do insist on placing military materiel in these areas then their citizens become imperiled unfortunately. Presumably Kiev

BlackRock Halted Ukraine Fund Talks After Trump’s Election Win
By Jenny Leonard, Donato Paolo Mancini, and Leonard Kehnscherper
July 5, 2025 at 7:00 AM UTC

BlackRock Inc. halted its search for investors to back a multibillion-dollar Ukraine recovery fund earlier this year after Donald Trump’s election victory saw the US sour on the eastern European country, people familiar with the discussions said.
The fund, meant to be unveiled at next week’s Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome, was close to securing initial support from entities backed by the governments of Germany, Italy and Poland, the people said, declining to be identified discussing private information.

However, in January, BlackRock decided to pause talks with institutional investors due to a lack of interest amid increased uncertainty over Ukraine’s future.

Donald Trump ran his reelection campaign on a promise to immediately end the war in Ukraine and bring the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin together for peace talks.

Since his inauguration at the start of the year, the US president has clashed with both men and issued inconsistent proposals for a path forward, while indicating an end to US military support for Ukraine.

The US government was a notable absence from the fund’s backers in December.
Reconstruction Funding.

The Ukraine Development Fund was on track to secure at least $500 million from countries, development banks and other grant providers, along with $2 billion from private investors, Philipp Hildebrand, vice chairman of BlackRock who was among the financiers leading the discussions, said last year.

At the time, Hildebrand said that could bring together a consortium of equity and debt investors who could finance at least $15 billion of reconstruction work in Ukraine. The total bill to rebuild Ukraine following Russia’s invasion was estimated at more than $500 billion by the World Bank and others in February.

A BlackRock spokesperson said the firm completed its pro-bono advisory work on the Ukraine Development Fund in 2024 and is currently not engaged in “any active mandate” with the Ukrainian government. “The only conversations that drive our decision-making are those with our clients,” the spokesperson added.

BlackRock was set to unveil the fund in Italy, some of the people said, during the Ukraine Recovery Conference on July 10-11 that Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and Ukraine’s Zelenskiy are set to attend, though the timeline was never made public.

Spokespeople for Prime Minister Meloni and the foreign ministry didn’t respond to a request for comment.

France has been working on a fund proposal to replace the canceled BlackRock initiative but it’s not clear how effective the new plan will be without US backing, the people said.

I just became aware that Annalena Baerbock has become the president of the UN General Assembly. (Her term begins in September, if I understand correctly.) She's Germany's foreign minister, and has been pushing for war against Russia as well as supporting Israel's military operations in Gaza.

There's a petition organized by Progressive International to block Baerbock from that UNGA position. Here is the link, for those interested to sign it:

Yes!

(But mercifully, it's a relatively minor role... this isn't to be confused with the UN Secretary-General, who's the real head honcho of the whole thing.)

As suspected - and about time too - Ukrainian citizens are now actively providing open-source data to Russian intel on the locations of the rightfully detested TCC mobilisation centres in Ukraine.

Lord Bebo on X, here:

----

Ukrainians actively post military recruitment positions and ask the Russians to strike them.

Attacking the military kidnappers turns out to be a great strategy for Russia.



-----

RussiaNews on X, here:

Ukrainians themselves are now giving coordinates to the Russian military — and requesting strikes on recruitment centers.

They want to save their sons from dying for Zelensky — the West’s puppet.

This is REBELLION against a corrupt elite.
