//The Wire//2300Z August 18, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: CARGO VESSEL EXPLODES NEAR BALTIMORE HARBOR. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHARGED FOR FLORIDA TRAFFIC ACCIDENT THAT KILLED THREE. DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS CONTINUE REGARDING UKRAINE WAR PEACE DEAL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Global: This afternoon Starlink experienced another global outage, with services being down for all users around the world for about 15 minutes. This marks the second time this month that a major outage of the Starlink system has been reported. No cause for the outage has been provided.-HomeFront-Maryland: This afternoon a large explosion was reported onboard a cargo vessel that was transiting outbound from Baltimore, bound for Mauritius. The M/V *W SAPPHIRE* experienced an explosion in one of her forward cargo holds shortly after leaving port. Her current position remains east of Bodkin Creek, and multiple tugboats and firefighting vessels remain on scene to keep her under control.Analyst Comment: As this is a developing situation, there's no further information on what caused the blast, or the fate of the crew.Washington D.C. - This afternoon President Zelenskyy returned to the White House, continuing diplomatic efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine.Analyst Comment: Regarding the potential for peace, the situation remains tenuous. Following the negotiations with Putin on Friday, Russia's position appears to be largely the same as when the war started; Russia wants the Donetsk and also the "freezing" of front lines where they are right now on all fronts. Ukraine's position is equally hardline, with Zelenskyy also reiterating Ukraine's position of ceding zero terrain in any prospective peace deal.Utah: A shooting was reported at a residence in Tremonton yesterday evening, which resulted in two police officers being killed, and one other wounded. Officers initially responded to this address due to multiple 911 hangups, and upon arrival, a barricaded shooter engaged them from within the house.Analyst Comment: What led to this shooting is unclear, but 911 hangups are frequently utilized by individuals seeking to take their own life by the actions of the police, or by those seeking to ambush authorities. In this case, the latter seems to have been the result, which turned into a protracted small arms engagement. Multiple pre-made incendiary devices were recovered from the residence after the shooting, indicating that this was a planned ambush of some kind.Florida: Vehicular homicide charges have been filed against Harjinder Singh for his role in the death of three people on the Florida Turnpike last week. Singh was attempting to conduct an illegal u-turn on the interstate, which resulted in him positioning his semi truck completely perpendicular to the road, completely blocking all lanes of traffic. Three people traveling in a minivan were unable to stop in time, colliding with the semi's trailer, resulting in their deaths.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comment: The case involving the crash in Florida has gained nationwide notoriety for two main reasons. Firstly, the in-cabin video showing the crash was published immediately, which not only shows the exceptionally graphic nature of the crash, but also the lack of any sort of remorse from the driver after the crash. The social reaction to this video has resulted in more focus on this case, which leads to the second reason for the attention...this case gets worse the more one digs for details.After the accident, Singh was revealed to have been an illegal immigrant from India, who crossed over the southern US border in 2018. Singh was allowed to get a driver's license in California (as this state allows illegals to get a license through the AB 60 program). From there, he was able to get his CDL license in the same state, despite federal law banning illegals f

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover explosive new evidence of an Obama-era conspiracy against Donald Trump, major shifts in U.S. manufacturing and agriculture, high-stakes diplomacy before the Trump–Putin meeting, the collapse of Ukraine's front lines, and a mysterious American drone mission deep into Mexico. Newly Declassified Email Exposes Obama-Era Conspiracy: A Top Secret 2016 email from NSA Director Mike Rogers to James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey reveals deep concerns over Obama's rushed Intelligence Community Assessment on alleged Trump–Russia collusion. The correspondence confirms intelligence officials were pressured to rubber-stamp a politically driven report that included the discredited Steele Dossier. Bryan details why this is foundational evidence of a seditious conspiracy. GE Appliances Moves Production Back to the U.S.: Trump's tariff strategy prompts GE Appliances, formerly owned by a Chinese company, to relocate manufacturing of ranges and refrigerators from Mexico and China to plants in Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and South Carolina, creating 1,000 new jobs. U.S. Farm and Ranch Report: Bred heifer prices hit record highs as cattle herd sizes remain at 1950s lows, keeping beef prices elevated. Favorable rains and cheaper feed are encouraging herd rebuilding, while the dangerous New World screwworm threatens to cross the border from Mexico. Crop conditions are generally good, but trade restrictions tied to tariffs are shifting agricultural export strategies. Mexico Sends 26 Cartel Members to U.S. Custody: President Claudia Sheinbaum transfers dangerous cartel figures to the United States, defying Mexico's constitution under technical loopholes. The move follows White House pressure to prevent cartel leaders from escaping Mexican prisons and resuming drug and human trafficking operations. Trump and European Allies Set Ukraine Negotiation Red Lines: Ahead of tomorrow's Alaska meeting with Vladimir Putin, Trump and European leaders agree on five conditions for peace talks, including a cease-fire, starting territorial discussions from current front lines, and securing binding Western security guarantees. European leaders will not attend the Alaska talks, leaving the White House to own the negotiations and their outcome. Ukraine's Front Lines Near Collapse: Russian forces, bolstered by North Korean mercenaries, gain six miles in the Donetsk region through relentless “meat wave” assaults. Ukrainian soldiers are frustrated with leadership, and public support for the war has collapsed, with 69 percent now favoring a negotiated settlement. Bryan warns that without fresh troops or a change in strategy, Ukraine risks losing the entire country. U.S. Drone Conducts Deep Strike Recon in Mexico: An American MQ-9 Reaper drone flew 600 miles into cartel-controlled territory in Michoacán before shutting off its transponders. The mission likely signals upcoming U.S. military action against cartels, with or without Mexican government cooperation, as Trump accelerates his campaign against foreign and domestic enemies.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Keywords: Obama-era Trump-Russia conspiracy, declassified Mike Rogers email, GE Appliances reshoring, U.S. cattle herd prices, New World screwworm threat, Mexico extradites cartel members, Trump Putin Alaska meeting, Ukraine front lines collapse, Donetsk Russian advance, U.S. drone Mexico cartel mission

As Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin prepare to meet, Patrick and Saul dissect the unsettling details of a proposed peace deal for Ukraine, including Trump's suggested "land-swapping," which could force Ukraine to cede critical territory, including the heavily fortified "fortress belt" in Donetsk. They also discuss a controversial proposal to model the deal after Israel's occupation of the West Bank and analyse what this would mean for President Zelenskyy, Ukraine's constitution, and the future of the war Also on the podcast is a fascinating report from the frontline Donbas city of Kramatorsk by friends of the Podcast Julius Strauss, Boldi Gyori, and Kimberley Reczek.

durée : 00:15:01 - Journal de 18h - La progression sensible des forces russes dans l'Est de l'Ukraine.

El pasado miércoles Putin presentó al Gobierno de Estados Unidos una propuesta de alto el fuego para Ucrania. La propuesta incluye concesiones territoriales importantes por parte de Ucrania, como ceder el Donbás (las provincias de Donetsk y Lugansk) y reconocer oficialmente las reclamaciones rusas en Crimea a cambio de un armisticio. Más allá de esto poco se sabe, los detalles específicos no han trascendido, lo que ha provocado que tanto los ucranianos como sus aliados europeos se lo tomen con mucha cautela. Trump respondió rápidamente anunciando una reunión con Putin en Alaska el próximo día 15, es decir, este mismo viernes. Esta será la primera vez en casi una década que Putin pisa suelo estadounidense. La última fue un encuentro con Barack Obama en Nueva York allá por el mes de septiembre de 2015. Eso no ha sido obstáculo para que Trump y Putin mantuviesen una relación fluida durante el primer mandato de Trump. Se reunieron personalmente en una serie de cumbres del G20 (las de 2017, 2018 y 2019) e incluso llegaron a organizar una cumbre bilateral en Helsinki en 2018. Su sintonía personal es evidente, lo que contrasta con la tensa relación entre Trump y el presidente ucraniano, Volodímir Zelenski, marcada desde el principio por el desprecio mutuo. Zelenski ha rechazado ceder territorio y exige participar en cualquier negociación. Los Gobiernos europeos, informados directamente por Trump, comparten esta postura y ven la propuesta de Putin como una posible maniobra para evitar nuevas sanciones occidentales mientras la guerra continúa su curso. Rusia ocupa actualmente gran parte de Donetsk, Zaporiyia, Jersón y la totalidad de Lugansk y Crimea, territorios que anexionó formalmente en 2022. La propuesta de Putin implica que Ucrania retire sus tropas de Donetsk a cambio de un alto el fuego, pero no está claro si Rusia se retiraría de Zaporiyia y Jersón. En la Casa Blanca creen que Putin trata de congelar las líneas de frente actuales para negociar el control total de Zaporiyia y Jersón, pero sin ofrecer garantías claras a Ucrania. Trump considera la oferta interesante en tanto que Putin esta vez pide menos que hace sólo unos meses. La propuesta actual constaría de dos fases. En la primera Ucrania se retiraría de Donetsk y comenzaría un armisticio con las línea de frente actual. En la segunda Trump y Putin negociarían un tratado de paz definitivo que posteriormente presentarían a Zelenski. Ucrania y Europa rechazan ceder territorio sin armisticio y garantías de seguridad como la posible entrada de Ucrania en la OTAN, algo que Putin descarta de plano. Los europeos, liderados por Francia, Alemania y el Reino Unido, insisten en que cualquier acuerdo debe incluir a Ucrania y al resto de Europa que se ha involucrado en su defensa. La propuesta europea, presentada este mismo fin de semana, exige reciprocidad territorial y un alto el fuego incondicional. Entretanto, el ejército ruso ha intensificado sus ataques contra Ucrania, especialmente contra infraestructura y objetivos civiles, lo que hace dudar de la sinceridad de Putin y su voluntad de poner fin a esto. La presión que ha ejercido sobre él Trump en las últimas semanas con un ultimátum y amenazando con imponer sanciones a a países como la India por comprar petróleo ruso, parece haber forzado esta oferta de paz. Parece un buen momento, pero la simpatía que Trump tiene a Putin y su deseo de resolver el conflicto rápidamente podrían complicar las negociaciones para Ucrania y sus aliados, que tratan de evitar una salida en falso con concesiones inaceptables.

C dans l'air du 11 août 2025 - Sommet sur l'Ukraine : et si Trump réussissait ?Emission présentée par Salhia BrakhliaUne rencontre pour sceller l'issue de la guerre en Ukraine ? Trois ans et demi après le début de l'invasion russe, le président américain Donald Trump a annoncé, sur son réseau Truth Social, qu'il allait rencontrer en personne son homologue russe Vladimir Poutine, ce vendredi, en Alaska. Ce sommet fait grincer les dents des Ukrainiens car, pour l'heure, Volodymyr Zelensky n'a pas été convié aux discussions. D'autant que les déclarations de l'hôte de la Maison blanche sur de possibles "échanges de territoires" n'ont pas rassuré. Des déclarations qui laissent entrevoir que Donald Trump serait tenté de vouloir régler la guerre en Ukraine "comme un conflit entre magnats de l'immobilier", selon les mots du journal allemand Der Spiegel. Moscou convoite et revendique en effet la souveraineté sur la totalité de plusieurs oblasts, dont certains ne sont aujourd'hui qu'en partie sous le contrôle de ses armées, en échange de la paix. Selon le Wall Street Journal, les régions de Donetsk et de Lougansk, en plus de la Crimée, sont concernées.Inquiétudes chez les Ukrainiens donc, mais aussi chez les Européens. De nombreux dirigeants se sont appelés tout le week-end, souhaitant organiser une contre-attaque. Ils ont rappelé hier la nécessité de maintenir la pression sur le Kremlin. S'ils ont conservé un ton diplomatique et salué "le travail du président Trump pour arrêter le massacre en Ukraine", les dirigeants français, italien, allemand, polonais, britannique et finlandais, ainsi que la présidente de la Commission européenne se sont dit convaincus dans un communiqué commun que "seule une approche combinant une diplomatie active, un soutien à l'Ukraine et une pression sur la Fédération de Russie" pouvait réussir.Relégués au rang de simples observateurs, c'est sans eux qu'une nouvelle page de l'histoire va donc peut-être s'écrire vendredi entre deux présidents qui ne se sont pas rencontrés depuis 2019.Très loin de ces négociations, la guerre continue de faire rage sur le sol ukrainien. Une équipe de C dans l'air s'est rendue autour d'un point de stabilisation, situé très proche de la ligne de front. Les sodats blessés y sont évacués pour être ensuite répartis dans les centres de soins. Ils peuvent s'y reposer avant de repartir sur le front. Sur place, les combattants épuisés après trois années de guerre confient rester déterminés à ne rien lâcher. Ils continueront de se battre, car il est pour eux absolument hors de quetions de renoncer à des parties de territoire. Il leur est impossible d'envisager une telle issue pour leur pays.Mais auront-ils le choix s'ils se revrouvent abandonnés par Donald Trump au terme de ces néociations ? Ce dernier se rêve en effet en faiseur de paix. L'obtention du prix de Nobel de la Paix semble même devenue pour lui une véritable obsession. Elle est née d'une rancœur et d'une jalousie tenace vis-à-vis de Barack Obama, que Donald Trump jalouse et déteste. L'ancien président américain avait obtenu ce prix en 2009, neuf mois à peine après son arrivée à la Maison-Blanche. Trump n'a jamais digéré cette distinction. Il a récemment déclaré qu'il aurait déjà dû l'avoir quatre ou cinq fois. Il n'a pas ménagé sa peine en ce sens.N'est-ce pas à son initiative qu'après des années de conflit territorial, l'Azerbaizjan et l'Arménie, se sont engagées vendredi dernier à instaurer une paix permanente ? Mais pour l'heure, en dépit de ses efforts et de ses espoirs, ses écheccs restent patents. Le conflit en Ukraine, qu'il avait promis de régler en 24 heures ne semble pas sur le point de cesser et la bande de Gaza est toujours soumise à la très brutale invasion israélienne.LES EXPERTS :- Bruno TERTRAIS - Directeur adjoint de la Fondation pour la recherche stratégique - Conseiller géopolitique à l'Institut Montaigne- James ANDRÉ - Grand reporter - France 24- Marie JÉGO - Journaliste spécialiste de la Russie – « Le Monde » - Ancienne correspondante à Moscou- Oksana MELNYCHUK - Politologue ukrainienne - Présidente de Unis pour l'Ukraine

Edition No218 | 07-08-2025 - Ukraine is striking at the core of Russia's war machine—not on the front lines, but behind them—through surgical attacks on key logistics hubs.On the night of 5–6 August 2025, Ukrainian drones struck the Tatsinskaya railway junction in Russia's Rostov region. The hub serves as a frontline artery for transport of troops, ammunition, fuel and equipment into the occupied Donetsk and Luhansk regions.Reports confirm fires at the rail yard, damage to infrastructure, and disruption of rail services. These are not isolated incidents—they join a deliberate and escalating campaign targeting Russia's logistics deep inside its territory. (Militarnyi.com)According to multiple Ukrainian outlets: the drone strike “ignited fire at a key railway hub in the Rostov Oblast”, specifying damage to locomotive tracks and fuel tank railcars. Firefighters responded overnight, extinguishing major flames by dawn 6th August. (United24media.com)Russian evacuation reports around the time confirm passenger train services halted for hours, and overhead electrification systems were disrupted. Though civilian casualties were not reported, rail logistics in the region were significantly delayed.

Ukraina påstår sig veta vart Ryssland kommer rikta sitt fokus i kriget kommande månader. Enligt Ukraina har Putin som mål att ta över hela Donetsk och Luhansk i höst, för att sen skapa en slags buffertzon i norra Ukraina längs den ryska gränsen. I sommar har Rysslands krigföring intensifierats, i slutet av juli träffades till exempel huvudstaden Kiev av den dödligaste attacken på ett år. Hur går det i kriget, var ligger de olika ländernas fokus militärt och kan USA:s hot om sanktioner mot Ryssland få effekt? Gäst: Jörgen Elfving, tidigare överstelöjtnant vid Försvarsmakten.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:    First—Russia's summer offensive against Ukraine intensifies, as Moscow's forces attempt to take full control of the eastern Donetsk region. The advances come as a Russian drone and missile bombardment killed more than a dozen civilians and wounded hundreds more in Kyiv on Thursday, leaving little hope that Vladimir Putin will capitulate to President Donald Trump's August 8 ceasefire deadline. Later in the show—declassified documents allege Hillary Clinton plotted with members of the DNC, George Soros' Open Society Foundation, and the highest levels of government to create and elevate the Trump–Russia collusion narrative. Plus—an alarming new report warns that the mullahs of Iran are stepping up efforts to carry out attacks against Jewish targets across Europe, while intensifying their persecution of religious minorities inside the Islamic regime. In our 'Back of the Brief—we turn to Syria, where U.S. military forces recently took out a senior leader of the Islamic State and two other ISIS militants in a daring ground raid.

An Tag 1248 berichtet der Militäranalyst Franz-Stefan Gady von seinem Besuch an den ukrainischen Frontlinien. Im Interview mit Kai Küstner erklärt er, warum es dort auch im einst vermeintlich sicheren Gebiet hinter der Front immer gefährlicher wird. Gady erläutert auch, warum er den Begriff „Sommeroffensive“ für irreführend hält: Das Hauptaugenmerk Russlands sei „nicht so sehr der territoriale Gewinn, sondern die Abnutzung in die ukrainischen Streitkräfte“. Und er geht auch davon aus, dass die Intensität der russischen Angriffe noch zunehmen wird. Gady hält es durchaus für gefährlich für die Ukraine, dass sie ihre Überlegenheit bei den Drohnen in Donetsk mittlerweile eingebüßt habe – hingegen herrsche ein gewisse „Aufbruchstimmung“, weil es Bewegung bei den US-Waffenlieferungen gebe. Der Buchautor („Die Rückkehr des Krieges“) hat bei seinem Frontbesuch übrigens keinerlei Hinweise auf einen Friedenswillen Russlands oder ein Abflauen der Kämpfe wahrgenommen. Ein Waffenstillstand ist nach erneuten Verhandlungen von russischen und ukrainischen Unterhändlern weiterhin nicht in Sicht, berichtet Astrid Corall. Sie beleuchtet auch die Proteste innerhalb der Ukraine gegen Präsident Selenskyj, der wegen eines Gesetzes, das die Unabhängigkeit von zwei ukrainischen Anti-Korruptions-Behörden einschränkt, unter Druck geraten ist. Auch aus dem Ausland erntete er deutliche Kritik. Mittlerweile ist Selenskyj zurückgerudert und hat ein neues Gesetz auf den Weg gebracht. Welche möglichen Motive er verfolgte und wie hoch der Schaden für den Präsidenten und die Ukraine ist, erklärt ARD-Korrespondentin Rebecca Barth.

Cuando el escritor Héctor Abad viajó en 2023 a Ucrania para asistir a la Feria del Libro de Donetsk no se imaginó que sería un viaje que cambiaría su vida para siempre. Mientras cenaba con un grupo de amigos en Kramatorsk, una bomba reventó el local en el que se encontraba, situado muy cerca de uno de los frentes más activos de la guerra. El ataque acabó con la vida de 11 personas, entre ellas la escritora ucraniana Victoria Melina. Una historia que el escritor ha recogido en "Ahora y en la hora" (Editorial Alfaguara).

José Milhazes e Nuno Rogeiro analisam a guerra na Ucrânia, debatendo estratégias militares russas, a influência das políticas de Trump, sanções económicas e a mobilização forçada na Ucrânia, que se prepara para eleições. Discutem ainda a decisão da República Checa de criminalizar a propaganda comunista, as dificuldades internas ucranianas e a resistência do país. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Edition No193 | 18-07-2025 - After episodes that focused on the utterances of Igor Girkin (Strelkov), here is another repugnant character, but one nonetheless that is speaking out about the ineptitude and pointlessness of Putin's war against Ukraine. Is this the start of a Z-Patriot rebellion, something that Putin is likely far more fearful of, than the so-called liberal opposition. Z Rebellion: Gubarev, Putin, and the Cracking Facade of Russian Ultra-Loyalism. Today's episode: how a strange group of bloggers, loud mouths, and battlefield fantasists — the so-called Z-Patriots — are turning on their own emperor – or at least starting to point in his direction and proclaim that the emperor has no clothes on. Our criminal Russian nationalist of the week? Pavel Gubarev. The former governor of the self-proclaimed Peoples of Donetsk in 2014. Once a proud foot soldier of Russia's imperialist crusade — now sounding alarm bells that Putin's army is losing. And claiming the losses are spectacular. With Igor Strelkov in jail, Gubarev has inherited his crown — not as a leader of troops, but of outrage. And his new role? Frontline Cassandra. Warning that defeat is near while the Kremlin fiddles and drops glide bombs on Ukrainian apartment blocks yet has no military strategy.----------DESCRIPTION:----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------CHAPTERS:----------LINKS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1TrJyUJljs&t=710shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQesztN6TeAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wixw7suSFjUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNYc7tZxa5ohttps://www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/ukraine-russia-war-donetsk-putin-b2200925.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavel_Gubarev ----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

President Putin has only been able to sustain his war by bribing the poor, desperate and marginalised. The deal has been straightforward: sign up and you will be paid a fabulous lump sum and generous salary. You will receive benefits and a veteran's pension. In the event of your death your family will be compensated. A surprising majority believe they are signing one-year contracts and are unaware that service is indefinite until the end of the war. Even when told they still sign on, taking the gamble that the war will be over soon and anxious not to miss out on a get-rich-quick scheme. Just five percent of volunteers have a higher education and 40% are 50-year olds and older (last year the recruitment age was increased to 70 years-of-age, and the oldest recorded death has been a 72 year-old). The sums offered are stupendous. The one-time signing on bonus in Nizhny Novgorod can be as high as 3 million roubles ($38,300). Impoverished Bashkortostan - which has suffered the most war losses with over 3,100 confirmed volunteer deaths - offers 1.5 million roubles. 'You'll earn 3.7 million roubles [$44,000] your first year!' shouts an advertisement in Novosibirsk. Who wants to be a millionaire? The reality, naturally, is different and the subject of this article. The reality of life in occupied Ukraine A volunteer may earn a monthly salary of between 200,000-300,000 roubles $2,550-$3,800). This is many times higher than the average Russian salary and unimaginable in the poorer regions of Russia. Yet the soldiers are not kings of the castle. The costs of serving in occupied Ukraine swallow salaries. Some of those costs are itemised below: Food: Soldiers have to supplement inadequate rations by buying their own food. Locals routinely double and triple prices to Russian soldiers because they know they can pay. A monthly bill can run to 20,000-30,000 roubles ($255-$380). In one unusual case, a Russian soldier serving in 68 Motor Rifle Division on the Kupyansk front saved on food money by turning cannibal and eating a dead comrade. Reportedly this provided him with sufficient meat for two weeks. Water: Occupied Donbas is a water disaster area with daily rationing and water cuts. Tap water - when it runs - is undrinkable ('you cannot even wash in it', one soldier has averred). A daily five litres of water costs 100-150 roubles, or around $38-$57 per month. Sex: The Donbas has been transformed by a sex industry chasing roubles. As much as 500,000 roubles ($6,380) can be earned in week. Roughly one third of prostitutes work from stationary brothels and the remainder do 'shift work', or two-week shifts in rented houses in Mariupol, Berdyansk, Melitopol, Donetsk and Luhansk. A chat with a prostitute can cost 15,000 roubles ($190). One night costs 120,000 roubles ($1,530). Payments are in cash. 'It seems to me that 90% of my clients feel regret [about joining the war],' one prostitute has opined. Another has said that every second order she gets is 'just to sit down and talk, because they don't see anything there except men and corpses.' Cigarettes: The issue cigarettes are unsmokable and thrown away. Cigarettes are sold at inflated prices in the Donbas (around 200 roubles or $2.50 per packet) and are smoked apace. Roughly half of all Russian males smoke, one of the highest rates in the world. Smoking in the army is widespread. Alcohol: There are no numbers for alcohol consumption. There is abundant anecdotal evidence that the high alcohol consumption rates of Russian civilian society - and alcoholism - have been exported to the frontline. Indeed, some volunteer to get their lives in order, having lost control to alcohol in their home towns and villages. Clothing: Soldiers invariably resort to buying their own uniforms, especially cold weather clothing. There are mobile 'uniform shops' operating in the Donbas. They can charge as much as 10,000 roubles for a uniform ($125), or twice the going rate in a shop in 'the mainland' (it is telling th...

Resta l'incognita sui tempi per l'arrivo dei Patriot, indispensabili sistemi di difesa aerea e sul loro numero, dato che forse non basteranno a difendere tutto il Paese. Il problema è anche che c'è ancora incertezza sugli altri tipi di armamento, finora non ben precisati. Dai Patriot alle rivelazioni delle forze di protezione dalle armi nucleari, chimiche e biologiche. Secondo il generale Alexey Rtishchev le forze ucraine hanno impiegato armi chimiche in un bombardamento dell'8 luglio sulla regione di Donetsk, con l'uso di munizioni dotate di una miscela di sostanze tossiche, cloropicrina e cloroaceto fenone.Iscriviti e segui "Notizie dall'Ucraina": YouTube: https://bit.ly/3FqWppn Spreaker: https://bit.ly/42g2ONG Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3JE1OMi Spotify: https://spoti.fi/40bpm0v Amazon Music: https://amzn.to/40HVQ37 Audible: https://bit.ly/4370ARc    Adnkronos: podcast/adnkronos.com  Resta in contatto con noi: https://www.adnkronos.com/  https://x.com/Adnkronos  https://www.facebook.com/AgenziaAdnKronos  https://www.instagram.com/adnkronos_/

En Ukraine, la question des violences sexuelles liées au conflit s'ajoute à la longue liste de crimes de guerre commis par l'agresseur russe. Jusqu'à présent, tous crimes confondus, la justice ukrainienne a recensé plus de 150 000 violations. Et lorsqu'il s'agit de crimes à caractère sexuel, l'État et les organisations non gouvernementales qui y répondent font face à de nombreux obstacles. De notre correspondante à Kiev, Les crimes à caractère sexuel font partie des crimes les plus difficiles à recenser sur le territoire ukrainien. À Kiev, les acteurs qui y répondent se sont rassemblés il y a quelques mois autour de la volonté commune de joindre leurs forces afin de proposer le meilleur cadre possible pour que la justice suive son cours et que les survivants soient mieux pris en charge. La problématique du genre des survivants est centrale. Céline Bardet, juriste internationale à la tête de l'ONG We Are NOT Weapons of War, explique : « C'est important parce que de l'extérieur, quand on parle des violences sexuelles, on pense immédiatement aux femmes et aux filles, à juste titre évidemment. Mais il y a plein d'endroits dans le monde où les hommes et les garçons sont très touchés, et en Ukraine, c'est le cas. » Face à ces violences, le travail des ONG ukrainiennes a été crucial. Olena Suslova, fondatrice du centre d'information et de consultation pour les femmes, épaule les survivants depuis plus d'une décennie : « Nous avons commencé à nous attaquer aux problèmes des violences sexuelles liées aux conflits en 2015. Nous nous sommes ensuite rendus dans les territoires libérés de la région de Donetsk, à Kramatorsk, Sloviansk, Droujkivka pour interroger la population. À cette époque, les gens étaient très effrayés et très fermés. Ils avaient peur de parler des violences sexuelles. Alors, nous avons posé des questions pour savoir s'il y avait eu des violations des droits humains. » À lire aussiUkraine : la kétamine utilisée pour soigner les maux physiques et psychiques des vétérans Ce travail a permis à Olena Suslova d'établir qu'au moins 15% des personnes à qui elle parlait avaient été victimes de violences sexuelles. Des ONG comme Global Survivors Fund agissent à leurs côtés et les aident notamment à obtenir des réparations. Pour Fedir Dunebabin, le représentant de l'association pour l'Ukraine, le plus important pour les survivants est d'être reconnus comme tels : « D'après ce qu'on voit dans nos échanges, la chose la plus utile pour eux, c'est de dépasser le traumatisme, c'est la reconnaissance. C'est de savoir qu'ils ne sont pas seuls et que quelqu'un pense à eux. Pas seulement une personne, mais la société ukrainienne, le gouvernement ukrainien ainsi que la communauté internationale. » À l'heure actuelle, seuls 366 cas de violences sexuelles en lien avec l'invasion russe de 2022 ont été documentés. Un chiffre que les autorités craignent bien en deçà de la réalité. Côté judiciaire, le président Volodymyr Zelensky vient de ratifier l'accord sur la création d'un tribunal spécial pour juger la Russie de ses crimes en Ukraine. Le chemin vers la justice est encore long pour les Ukrainiens, mais il est bel et bien enclenché.  À lire aussiGuerre en Ukraine: «Dans les prisons russes, la torture des Ukrainiens est une pratique institutionnalisée»

Eclipsée par la situation au Moyen-Orient, la guerre en Ukraine a presque disparu des colonnes des journaux et des hebdomadaires français. Toutefois, l'Express publie donc cet article intitulé : « Comment Poutine enlève et russifie les enfants ukrainiens ». « Plusieurs dizaines de milliers de jeunes Ukrainiens ont été volés par la Russie, depuis le début du conflit, en violation complète du droit international », explique l'hebdomadaire. Qui nous raconte l'histoire d'Oleksander, 12 ans… Le jeune garçon habitait Marioupol, avec sa mère, depuis portée disparue. Il a été conduit dans un camp dit « de filtration » à Donetsk, en territoire occupé. Un mois plus tard, raconte l'Express, « sa grand-mère Lioudmila qui cherchait partout sa fille et son petit-fils, reçoit un appel : « Mamie, viens me chercher, implore une petite voix dans le combiné. C'est Oleksander ».   Tous deux réussiront à regagner « l'Ukraine libre ». Mais ce cas « reste exceptionnel », prévient l'Express qui précise : « depuis 2022, les autorités russes organisent le transfert forcé de milliers d'enfants ukrainiens des territoires occupés, vers la Russie ». Dans quel but ? « Les Ukrainiens », explique l'Express, « estiment que cette campagne de rééducation et d'adoption sert à créer une réserve d'hommes pour l'armée. De nombreux garçons, n'étaient encore que des enfants lorsque la Russie a occupé la Crimée en 2014. (…) Onze ans plus tard, certains d'entre eux ont rejoint l'armée russe de force, mais aussi volontairement, convaincus par la propagande russe ». Soyons nombreux Et l'Express publie un appel « à sauver les enfants volés d'Ukraine ». Appel signé du philosophe Bernard-Henri Lévy, de l'écrivain Salman Rushdie, ou encore du chanteur Sting. « Des milliers d'enfants ont été arrachés à leur famille et à leur terre » disent-ils. « Ce ne sont pas des enfants perdus. Ce sont des enfants volés, kidnappés par les forces d'occupation russes, enlevés à leurs parents, à leurs écoles, à leur langue, à leur vie ». Les signataires disent vouloir s'adresser avant tout « aux parents ». « À tous ceux qui imaginent ce que peut signifier le kidnapping d'un enfant qui ne reviendra peut-être jamais. Soyons nombreux, très nombreux (…) à le dire d'une même voix, clairement et sans trembler : les enfants d'Ukraine ne sont pas négociables. Il faut exiger leur retour. Maintenant ». Un appel que l'on peut signer sur le site lexpress.fr Qui pour remplacer les mollahs ? Le Nouvel Obs de son côté, s'interroge sur la situation en Iran. « Le régime des mollahs peut-il tomber ? » se demande l'hebdomadaire, qui remarque : « Frappée par les Américains, pilonnée et infiltrée par Israël, la République islamique est plus que jamais affaiblie, à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur de ses frontières (…) le 7 octobre a fait plonger les alliés régionaux de l'Iran (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houtis…) le plaçant dans sa position la plus vulnérable depuis des décennies ». Cela augure-t-il de la fin du régime des mollahs ? Pas forcément : pour le Nouvel Obs, « la République islamique est loin d'être à terre ». Interrogé, l'historien Philippe Droz-Vincent parle « d'un état structuré, avec une élite issue du clergé et des réseaux sécuritaires relativement cohérents. Pour que le régime tombe, il faut désorganiser tout ça », estime-t-il. Quant à savoir qui pourrait remplacer les mollahs, la question est pour le moment sans réponse, selon le Nouvel Obs, qui estime « qu'aucune opposition, ni à l'intérieur ni à l'extérieur du pays, ne semble en mesure de proposer une alternative viable et crédible ». L'hebdomadaire estime que « seul le mouvement Femme, Vie, Liberté pourrait jouer un rôle ». Mais souligne qu'il a été tellement réprimé qu'il n'a pas pu s'organiser. Le politologue Karim Emile Bitar, redoute, lui, « une situation chaotique, avec un pouvoir diffus et une population fragmentée ». « Le vide, après la destruction », conclut le Nouvel Obs. Prisonniers politiques et otages Le Point s'intéresse également à l'Iran, et s'interroge sur la prison d'Evin, prison de sinistre réputation où sont incarcérés opposants et otages occidentaux. Une prison visée par l'armée israélienne, le 23 juin, frappe qui a fait 71 morts, annonce ce matin Téhéran. Pourquoi viser cette prison, qui n'a rien à voir avec les capacités nucléaires de l'Iran ? Le Point cite « une source diplomatique israélienne », selon laquelle « Israël a fait comprendre au régime mais aussi aux iraniens qu'il est temps que quelque chose soit fait, pour ouvrir la porte de la prison des détenus politiques iraniens et des otages occidentaux ». Des otages occidentaux dont les familles sont inquiètes, c'est le cas de celles des deux Français Cécile Kohler et Jacques Paris, détenus en Iran depuis plus de trois ans. Certes, les autorités françaises « ont reçu l'assurance de Téhéran que les deux prisonniers, qu'elles considèrent comme des otages d'État, n'ont pas été blessés ». Mais les familles s'inquiètent « de n'avoir aucun signe de vie et aucun moyen d'entrer en contact avec eux ». Le Point a par ailleurs reçu une lettre envoyée depuis l'intérieur de la prison évoquant « l'existence de blessés », « que les autorités pénitentiaires refusent de transférer à l'extérieur, les laissant ainsi sans soin ni assistance ». Une information qui donne une idée de ce qui a pu se passer dans la prison d'Evin.

Edition No167 | 24-06-2025 - Russia has sustained staggering troop losses in Ukraine. Can the regime admit to itself, let alone its people that this has been a tremendous waste for a senseless purpose, and in exchange for trivial gains? Has Russia inadvertently just admitted to the scale of its losses? The staggering troop losses incurred by Moscow's armed forced during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine may just have been blurted out by a senior Russian official on June 19. Mostly likely by accident. He now needs to beware of windows in tall buildings, and a growing list of other hazards that Russia officials, businessmen and military officers are falling prey to. But the war goes on, and Russia's demands remain maximalist. They continue to demand Ukraine withdraws from the four partially occupied regions — Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia, and now are making incursions into a new oblast – Sumy. According to figures from Kyiv, Russia has suffered more than 1 million dead, wounded, and missing soldiers since the start of its full-scale invasion, and burned through a large chunk of the Soviet era military equipment that was bequeathed to Russia upon the dissolution of the USSR. And then fell into the hands of pathological kleptocrat, Vladimir Putin.In return for their losses, Russia has received just a few hundred square kilometres of blasted and wrecked earth and the piles of rubble that were formerly towns and villages on those territories. In an interview with CNN, Russian Ambassador to the U.K. Andrey Kelin dismissed the 1m figure of killed and wounded but did confirm that "about 600,000" Russian soldiers were fighting in Ukraine, a number which tallies with some Ukrainian estimates.----------LINKS: https://kyivindependent.com/russia-just-accidentally-admitted-to-its-staggering-troop-losses-in-ukraine/https://kyivindependent.com/by-dumping-bodies-during-exchanges-russia-afraid-to-admit-scale-of-casualties-zelensky-says/https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2025/jun/22/one-million-and-counting-russian-casualties-hit-milestone-in-ukraine-war?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

C dans l'air du 18 juin 2025 - L'Iran est-il vraiment proche d'obtenir la bombe nucléaire ?Voilà cinq jours que l'Iran est sous les bombes israéliennes et les signes d'escalade se multiplient. Le président américain Donald Trump est allé jusqu'à appeler, hier, à la "capitulation sans conditions" de la République islamique. Il a même assuré que les États-Unis pouvaient aisément tuer le guide suprême iranien Ali Khamenei. Ce dernier a proclamé que son pays "ne se rendra jamais" et mis en garde les Etats-Unis contre des "dommages irréparables" en cas d'intervention dans le conflit.Pour l'heure, les frappes israéliennes ont déjà fait plus de 200 morts et plus de 1200 blessés. Le monde reste suspendu aux paroles de Donald Trump. Hier, en rentrant en avion du G7, le président américain a démenti les informations de sa cheffe du renseignement, Tulsi Gabbard qui estimait en mars devant le Congrès que l'Iran ne possédait pas la bombe nucléaire : "Je me fiche de ce qu'elle a dit", a rétorqué le président à une journaliste qui l'interrogeait. Si L'Iran ne dispose pour l'instant que d'uranium enrichi à 60%, là où le seuil requis s'élève à 90% pour obtenir l'arme nucléaire, la France, l'Allemagne et le Royaume-Uni ont estimé jeudi dernier que l'Iran pourrait avoir la capacité de produire "plus de neuf" bombes nucléaires. Mais avec l'opacité entretenue par le régime iranien, impossible de savoir si ces projections sont vraiment crédibles.Acculé, affaibli, le régime iranien continue de menacer, à commencer par fermer le détroit d'Ormuz, par lequel transitent 20% du pétrole mondial et 30% du Gaz naturel liquéfié. Sardar Esmail Kowsari, commandant des Gardiens de la Révolution, a déclaré que cette option était "à l'étude". Son application plongerait le monde dans une grave crise économique. En fin de semaine dernière, lorsque les premières bombes israéliennes sont tombées sur l'Iran, les cours du pétrole ont flambé, avant de se stabiliser. Large d'environ 50 kilomètres, le détroit s'étend d'Oman à l'Iran. L'Iran, lui-même producteur important de pétrole, serait évidemment impacté par la fermeture de ce passage stratégique. Selon Le Figaro, 95% des barils iraniens sont exportés vers la Chine, et transitent par ce passage maritime.Pendant ce temps, à l'autre bout de l'Europe, Volodymyr Zelensky s'inquiète. Le président ukrainien craint que l'attention focalisée sur le Moyen-Orient n'affecte encore plus le soutien militaire à l'Ukraine. Samedi dernier, il a appelé à ce que "l'aide à l'Ukraine ne diminue pas pour cette raison", comme ce fut le cas lors de la précédente altercation entre Israël et l'Iran en octobre 2024. Présent au G7 en début de semaine, il n'a pu que constater le manque d'intérêt de l'administration américaine pour sa cause, et a quitté le rassemblement mardi au lendemain du départ précipité de Donald Trump. "La diplomatie est désormais en état de crise", a-t-il lâché. D'autant que la Russie semble profiter de la guerre au Moyen-Orient pour avancer ses pions. Dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi, elle a lancé une vaste attaque de drones sur Kiev, faisant 24 morts et plus de 130 blessés. Le président ukrainien, a déclaré qu'il s'agissait de "l'une des attaques les plus horribles sur Kiev" et a appelé à un soutien international plus fort pour aider l'Ukraine à se défendre. Cette nuit, un nouvel essaim de 58 drones a frappé les oblasts de Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk et Zaporijia.Où en est le programme nucléaire iranien ?Quelles conséquences aurait une fermeture du détroit d'Ormuz sur l'économie mondiale ?Et comment la Russie profite-t-elle du chaos au Moyen-Orient pour avancer ses pions ?LES EXPERTS :- Général Jean-Paul PALOMEROS - Ancien chef d'état-major, ancien commandant suprême de la transformation de l'OTAN- Patricia ALLÉMONIÉRE - Grand reporter, spécialiste des questions internationales- Anthony BELLANGER - Éditorialiste - Franceinfo TV, spécialiste des questions internationales- David RIGOULET-ROZE - Chercheur associé à l'IRIS, rédacteur en chef de la revue "Orients stratégiques", auteur de "La République islamique d'Iran en crise systémique"- Marc-Antoine EYL-MAZZEGA – En duplex - Directeur du centre énergie et climat de l'Ifri

June 12th Yuriy recounts the tragic divide within his own family due to the ongoing war, revealing the schizophrenic beliefs held by many Russians.

A new soldier recently joined my military unit. He's fairly young, just over 30, and originally from Doneysk. Let me remind you, that's a Ukrainian city. Russia has occupied since 2014. Right after the occupation, this guy fled to the free part of Ukraine, but his father stayed behind in Donetsk, took Russian citizenship and eventually moved somewhere into Russia. Now that Father fervently supports the war against Ukraine, he even sends money to the occupying forces- donating part of his salary to units fighting the Ukrainian army. That means he's also funding the war against his own son. Sometimes this father writes to his son about how much he hates Ukraine and how he regrets having a child who doesn't understand that it's better to be Russian. He says Ukraine has no right to exist and that his willing to accept his own sons death if that's what it takes to destroy Ukraine. This is pure schizophrenia -to wish so obsessively for the destruction of the entire country that you'd be willing to sacrifice your own child for it. And there are millions of people like him. Another kind of schizophrenia is believing that the war will end soon and everything will go back to how it was before- Russians will travel freely to Ukraine again, Ukrainians will forgive them and they will be genuine peace. That's the delusion world. My brother, for example, lives in. He recently wrote to our uncle in Kharkiv, a city bombed daily, saying that as soon as the war ends, he'll come and help rebuild it, and that our uncle should wait for him because he's coming soon. What's interesting is that the Russian government supports both of these schizophrenic delusions even though directly contradict each other. Putin regularly spouts nonsense about how Russians are destined to be friends with what he calls "the Ukrainian part of Russian people" while one of his goons, someone like Medvedev, will immediately follow up with claims that Ukrainians will be completely wiped out and forgotten by history. Schizophrenia in its many forms has become the norm in Russia. They are consumed by madness, the entire society. Putin has turned his country into massive asylum for deranged. These madmen are allowed to do anything to kill and rape Ukrainians, to loot and burn down entire cities to believe that it'll soon end and through peace will return like in the distant past, the only thing we're not allowed to do is question the war- to question whether the killing and raping is really necessary. Tragically, the western world still tries to engage with these extremely dangerous lunatics as if they were ordinary people who just have a political disagreement with Ukrainians, but we have a disagreement, not with us, but with reality itself. And we're proud of it. While your politicians keep dancing before the chief murder and looter before the chief 21st century schizoid man.

Två kinesiska krigsfångar visas upp i Ukraina och fallet reser nya frågor om Kinas roll i kriget. Enligt president Zelenskyj krigar fler än 150 kineser på Rysslands sida. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Det var i april som Ukrainas president Volodymyr Zelenskyj gick ut med att två kinesiska soldater gripits vid fronten i Donetsk. Gripandet blev en världsnyhet och den ukrainska underrättelsetjänsten visade upp fångarna på en presskonferens. Fallet har på nytt aktualiserat frågan om Kinas roll i kriget och hur nära Kina egentligen samarbetar med Ryssland. Krigsfångarna själva beskriver ingående hur de rekryterades via sociala medier i Kina, samtidigt som Peking förnekar all inblandning. För Ukraina blev fallet med de kinesiska krigsfångarna ett tillfälle att öka pressen på både Kina och USA.Medverkande: Hanna Sahlberg, Kinareporter. Moa Kärnstrand, Kinakorrespondent.
