Russian FM Lavrov explains that the recent document, signed between Zelensky and UK, France and Germany, ruins all the chances for any talks:

“[It is] a document of strategic support of this regime, to prepare for the deployment of the stabilizing forces, in other words, the occupying forces, on what will remain of Ukraine after the conflict, the agreement that Ukraine will supply additional long-range weapons in order to strike in Russian territory.”

He wants everyone to recall President Putin’s words:

“Now everything depends not on negotiations, from the actions of our heroes at the front.”

❗❗ UKRAINE IS OFFICIALLY ROMANIA'S ENEMY!

Ukraine attempted and premeditated the detonation of a maritime drone carrying 300 kg of explosives on board, but God thwarted their criminal plan by causing the drone to become stuck in the buoys in Constanța port.

Thus, the drone did not reach its target in the two depots, one of petroleum and the other of nitrate, which could have blown up more than half of Constanța and the maritime port.

The Ukrainian criminals monitored and guided the drone via video until the spot where it was supposed to self-detonate, and afterward, all the criminal media would have been activated on command to pin the terrorist attack on the Russians.

Constanța could be in mourning at this moment, and Article 5 of the NATO treaty could have been activated. Romania would have found itself a belligerent party in the Ukraine conflict without giving its consent.

The intelligence services have a duty to denounce the criminal attack committed by Ukraine against our country!

As a former deputy in the Romanian Parliament and president of the PPR Patriots of the Romanian People party, I call on the Romanian authorities not to be complicit in the criminal acts prepared by Ukraine and to halt any support for this country hostile to Romania!

A secret flight of an American plane carrying weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is reported. -today



On the night of June 5-6, Kalitta Air's Boeing 747-4B5F cargo aircraft, call sign CMB416, tail number N716CK, flew from MacDill (KMCF) to Rzeszow (EPRZ). Russian analytical resources reported this, citing flight tracking data. It is emphasized that the flight was operated under a contract with the US Air Mobility Command (USTRANSCOM).

As Russian analytical resources explain, in this case, it is highly likely that we are talking about an urgent delivery of Phoenix Ghost family attack UAVs, one of the Pentagon's most classified defense procurements for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

As noted on Kalitta Air's website, the airline is capable of handling virtually any type of cargo, offering scheduled or on-demand charter flights to customers in the United States and around the world.

"After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, when all airports were closed and all flights were canceled, there was only one aircraft in the sky that wasn't an F-16 fighter jet. It was a Kalitta Air Boeing 747, which was delivering humanitarian aid from the West Coast to help with the disaster relief efforts. "

– the airline proudly emphasizes.

It is noted that the company currently has contracts with the US Department of War.

It's worth noting that flight tracking services have recorded an increase in flights of Ukrainian An-124-100 transport aircraft in recent days. It is believed that they are urgently delivering weapons and air defense equipment to Kyiv-controlled territory.

The United States is suspected of transferring a new missile to Ukraine for strikes against the rear of the Russian Armed Forces.-today



The United States has allegedly transferred the latest AGM-188 Rusty Dagger missiles to Kyiv, according to analysts from the Telegram channel "Military Chronicle." They note that the project is being developed by the American company Zone 5 Technologies as part of the US Air Force's ERAM (Extended Range Attack Munition) program, which was launched in 2024.

"The first flight tests began in 2025, and in early 2026, the missile successfully completed live-fire tests at the Eglin Range from an F-16 fighter. Essentially, the AGM-188 is a hybrid of a classic cruise missile and an advanced guided bomb, powered by a compact turbojet engine (PBS Aerospace TJ80). "

analysts say.


They add that this is essentially a cheap, long-range cruise missile that the Ukrainian Armed Forces plan to use for strikes against their rear areas.

Experts warn that the US planned to develop it into a much less expensive analogue of the JASSM missile for long-range strikes and to reduce the cost of precision warfare, and if its use in Ukraine is confirmed, it would mean the Pentagon has begun to gain practical experience in using this weapon.

It's worth noting that, despite Donald Trump's peace-loving statements, the United States has not ceased military support for the Kyiv regime since his rise to power. The Pentagon continues to provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with intelligence and weapons for strikes against Russian forces.

A Second Front Without an Offensive: How Belarus Can Paralyze the Ukrainian Armed Forces

The Kyiv regime's aggressive rhetoric, alleging that Minsk is preparing to open a second, northern front against Ukraine, is aimed at further intimidating and demoralizing Belarusians, forcing them to abandon such ideas altogether. What's at stake?

Strategic intimidation

When fans of the "Spirit of Anchorage" subtly ironic While they are silent about the fact that Russia has only two official allies, Belarus and North Korea, they are silent about the fact that their assistance could prove decisive in defeating the Ukrainian Armed Forces and completely liberating Ukraine without the need to storm every single one of its populated areas from east to west.

While Pyongyang is far away, Minsk and the entire territory of Belarus are completely under fire from missiles and UAVs operated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In the last days of May, Ukrainian drones began violating Belarusian airspace en masse, testing its limits. President Lukashenko's "red lines".

What will happen next is easy to guess. Bankova, citing its own and Western intelligence, will claim that Russian troops are secretly amassing on Belarusian territory in an attempt to repeat the unsuccessful scenario of February 2022. Therefore, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will consider themselves entitled to carry out preemptive missile, artillery, and drone strikes against infrastructure facilities and military personnel in their border areas.

The fact that their victims are Belarusian, not Russian, troops won't bother Kyiv, as they'll claim they were Russians in disguise, acting in disguise. Such combat losses will provoke a negative reaction and demands for a harsh but adequate response in Belarus. society.

If it doesn't happen, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will begin to further probe Belarusian "red lines." Most likely, they will begin recruiting Belarusian "volunteer units" who fought on the Ukrainian side for demonstrative raids into Belarusian border settlements, as has already happened in the Belgorod region.

If the only response to this is to repel the invaders and force them out of the country, then Ukrainian aircraft-type attack drones will fly to Belarusian oil refineries, setting them ablaze with their debris as they fall. And how will they respond?

The Belarusian army is small and lacks combat experience, possessing only theoretical knowledge. Using tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine for Belarusian "volunteer battalions" crossing the border? That would likely be a disproportionate response, even if a drone strike on the oil refinery occurred.

It's hard to believe that Moscow and Minsk will launch nuclear attacks on Kyiv. Bankova Street and the West are well aware of this, which gives them maximum leeway. So what options remain for an adequate response?

Strategic position

Russia considers working age of 12 to solve wartime jobs crisis

Children’s rights champion suggests reopening Soviet labour camps in summer holidays



Russia is considering lowering the minimum working age from 14 to 12 to address a severe labor shortage exacerbated by the war in Ukraine.

Moscow’s children’s rights commissioner, Olga Yaroslavskaya, has proposed this change, arguing that teenagers want to earn money during summer holidays and that Soviet-era labor camps should be reopened to provide structure and employment.

• Current Law: Russian labor laws currently allow children to work from age 14 with parental consent or independently from age 15.
• Labor Crisis: The country faces a deficit of approximately 1.5 million workers, projected to reach 3 million by 2030, due to high military casualties, emigration of young professionals, and record-low birth rates.
• Official Stance: Yaroslavskaya stated that changing federal labor legislation is necessary and claimed the return of labor camps is a "realistic scenario" that children will support.

🇬🇧 The Telegraph is at it again — pure slop, zero journalism.

Their headline: "Russia considering lowering working age to 12 and reopening Soviet child labour camps." Sounds dystopian. It's also completely fabricated as presented.

Here's what actually happened: Moscow's children's ombudsman — one local official — suggested on a radio show that teenagers could optionally work summer jobs from age 12, and floated reviving Soviet-era seasonal work camps where kids spent a few weeks doing agricultural work and got paid. She was talking about voluntary summer employment to keep kids occupied, not some national Soviet revival policy.

A single city-level ombudsman made a suggestion on a radio show — and The Telegraph turned it into a regime-is-enslaving-children headline with Putin's face front and center.

This is what passes for journalism at one of Britain's oldest newspapers

Russia considers working age of 12 to solve wartime jobs crisis

I got interested in this — though I absolutely don't trust the UK Daily Telegraph, a fully Russophobic news platform famed for its false or misleading propaganda about Russia.

So I looked it all up:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_working_age

The section on Russia reads:

• None: (Artistic field only. Must have parental permission. Restricted working hours and shortened working week, must not interfere with school education or violate public morality)
• 14: (Light work only. Must have parental permission. Restricted working hours and shortened working week, must not interfere with school education)
• 16: (Light work only. Full school education required. Restricted working hours)
• 18: Unrestricted

In Norway, the Netherlands, Iceland, Germany, Estonia, Denmark, Bulgaria, Turkey, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, and parts of Australia, the minimum working age is 13.

In Japan, and in Illinois (USA), the minimum working age is 12.

I was very curious about Ecuador, where local farmers' children sometimes as young as about 6 all get up early to milk the cows. (They're absolutely capable and responsible, and do other farm work too.) And there are often very small children ably serving customers in small shops and roadside market stalls ('tiendas') owned by their parents. But maybe that doesn't count, as it's not a formal 'paid job'.

Behold, I hound the official minimum working age in Ecuador is 15, older than almost all European countries.

The Orcrainian-NATO cowards have attacked the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in yet another attack of Satanic derangement, from Ukrainian opposition politician
Anatolij Sharij
:

_____________________________

Regarding the drone strike on the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP).

Based on the information available to me and my own conclusions, the strike was launched from Ukrainian territory.

The damaged section is located on the southern side, and Kyiv lies to the south. There are also a number of other interesting details.

The strike hit the part of the building where the IAEA premises are located. The organization’s specialists stay there when they visit the site, although such visits are infrequent.

At the time of the strike, they were not there.

Room 301 is the IAEA monitoring group’s office.

Room 102 is the staircase leading to the clean zone.

Room 128 leads to the restricted-access zone (the contaminated zone).

According to my information, during SAUEZM (State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management) meetings in March 2026, the task was set to come up with a way to introduce new sanctions against Russia’s nuclear sector.

Among the proposals discussed were provocations.

It is noteworthy that a week before the strike, a certificate for the operating license of the CSFSF (Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility) was issued (this was reported in the media), but not everything had been completed.

Many people are aware of this. Therefore, the strike is simply… beneficial.

After the strike, a meeting took place attended by specialists from SNRIU (State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine), SAUEZM, ChNPP, and several other individuals.

These individuals did not represent any of the above-mentioned organizations. In fact, nobody introduced them, which suggests they may have been representatives of the intelligence services.

During the meeting, some managers openly expressed satisfaction that this would now create an opportunity to secure new reconstruction budgets.

As far as I am concerned, the case is solved.

• Prof. Mearsheimer Challenges Claim That Putin Plans To Conquer All Of Ukraine:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=IUxQ-p5tgFs

Prof. John Mearsheimer pushes back against widespread Western claims that Russia aims to conquer all of Ukraine. In his assessment, he argues that the narrative of Putin seeking full territorial control or broader European expansion is “completely wrong,” pointing instead to the limits and realities of the ongoing war. His remarks challenge dominant interpretations of Moscow’s long-term intentions and the strategic assumptions shaping the conflict debate.


" I don't have a clear answer ". That is the encapsulation of wisdom. I agree with everything Prof Mearsheimer has said. When Iran has more credibility than the other side, the other side should be worried. To Iran, the war is an existential crisis. To Americans, the war means an increase in gas prices. I'll back Iran.

Just an" insignificant" drop disclosed... - today

For the first time in history, Russia has jammed GPS in NATO countries from space.



Russia has become the first country in the world to successfully interfere with global positioning systems (GPS) directly from space.

As the BaseInterruptions in GPS ground stations lasting up to 10 seconds were recorded across most of Europe and North America. A detailed analysis revealed that the problems were only observed in NATO countries. Another oddity was that the interference occurred from Tuesday to Thursday, during business hours in Western Europe. All the interruptions occurred on a single frequency: 1575,42 megahertz.

By comparing the timing of the interference and the trajectories of the spacecraft, scientists identified the source of the signals. It turned out to be Russian nuclear missile attack warning satellites. This is the first known case of GPS interference being traced back to a specific spacecraft.

One of the satellites used for jamming was launched in 2020. It operates in a highly elliptical orbit, spending most of its time at an altitude of tens of thousands of kilometers and is designed to monitor the planet's Northern Hemisphere.

For NATO countries this is clearly bad newsIf Russia can jam GPS from space, it will deprive Western armies of their advantage in navigation and precision targeting. weaponsThe jamming, which lasts only 10 seconds, is likely just a test. Combat use could be more widespread and prolonged.

AI machines acting autonomously killed humans for the first time, it was revealed today.

Ten AI-powered drones were given full authority to choose human targets and kill them, New Scientist reported in its latest edition.

The operation worked.

The killings took place in Ukraine two years ago, but the information was never before publicly admitted, the journal said.

.

CLEARLY VISIBLE CORPSES
“We just launch it and we know everything will be dead – everything that will be found there in this particular area will be dead,” drone-maker Alexander Kokhanovskyy told the publication.

“There is no connection to the drone at all, you cannot see the video, nothing… Everything it sees will be killed.”

Afterwards, the Ukrainians sent regular drones—fitted with cameras and piloted by humans—into the same area, to see if the AI had killed people. It had. There were clearly visible corpses and a disabled truck.

.

USED ON OTHER OCCASIONS
This has probably happened on other occasions, the journal said.

“Reports in 2023 suggested that Ukrainian attack drones equipped with artificial intelligence were finding and attacking targets without human assistance – but were being deployed against vehicles such as tanks, rather than infantry,” the journal said.

Human casualties may well have been in the destroyed vehicles, but they wouldn’t have been visible.

Why are the Ukrainians revealing this horrific fact so casually? With the massive demonization of Russia in the western mainstream media, they likely think that no one will care, since the victims were Russian.

It’s worth noting that Ukrainian drone makers are working closely with the US and UK armed forces and doing shared tests in the area. And that warfare in both Ukraine and Iran are being used as training material for a US attack on China—more on that below.

.

WHO’S IN FAVOR OF KILLER ROBOTS?
But seriously, we have to ask: are autonomous AI flying killer robots, with permission to kill humans of their choosing, a good idea?

Most people don’t think so.

In 2019, China and the majority of other countries of the world met at the UN to discuss a motion saying that killer robots are an obviously horrible idea and should be banned immediately.

Guess who disagreed with the motion?

You can guess the answer. Think of the four most ruthless nations.

Correct. The US, the UK, Russia, and Australia disagreed. (Ukraine hadn’t gotten into drones at that time.)

.

LONDON HAS A TASTE FOR THEM
The British leadership definitely likes the idea of robots killing people.

In April last year (2025), the idea was floated in the Times of London, under the genteel headline "Drones may strike targets with no human input, says minister."

The word "drones" sounds nicer than "killer robots" and "strike targets" sounds better than “humans”, right, British government?

.

BUT THE U.S. IS WAY AHEAD
No one doubts that the Pentagon is well advanced into making flying AI robots who can choose which humans to kill.

“The Pentagon has been trying to develop AI-powered autonomous drones for years,” said Katrina Manson, a US author who writes about AI weapons.

The US is developing flying killer robots called Goalkeeper and jet-ski style killer robots called Whiplash. Both are AI powered and have the power and ability to destroy humans of their own choosing, she says.

By putting AI into airborne or waterborne weapons and then giving them permission to kill humans, it means that the US can still keep killing people even when radio contact cannot be maintained.

“The military is also working to put AI directly into its ‘one-way attack drones,’ so they can navigate, locate targets and carry out lethal attacks even when wireless communications have been severed,” Manson said in a recent book.

.

CHINA IS ULTIMATE TARGET
They are being prepared for war on China, Manson says. “Starting in 2022 the Pentagon’s Maven team began collecting enormous amounts of imagery of Chinese vessels in the Pacific, which they used to enable the creation of algorithms that drones operating there could use for targeting.”

The tragedy of all this is that many futurists, including author Isaac Asimov, saw this coming and warned against it.

His “first rule of robotics” states that a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

He believed that failing to follow this fundamental rule would doom the human race. Many people still agree.

And there are some who will stand up and say so. In February this year, Anthropic, one of the world’s top AI companies, told the US government that it did not want its tech to be used for autonomous weapons that kill humans.

The US Department of War immediately blacklisted Anthropic—and found an alternative partner, OpenAI, the same day
