For review:1. The United States refrained from striking Iran overnight Friday-Saturday for the first day in two weeks.After the quiet night in Iran, there were also no reports on Saturday of attacks by Iran on its Gulf neighbors, which have been taking place daily as well.2. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet US President Donald Trump on Tuesday at the White House, the premier's office announced Friday, in what will be the leaders' first sit-down since the outbreak of the Iran war on February 28.3. The Israel Defense Forces has in recent days announced a series of strikes in the Gaza Strip targeting Hamas and Islamic Jihad members who it said were involved in the October 7 attack, or the subsequent holding of hostages.4. Khalil al-Hayya has been elected to be the new leader of Hamas, the terror group announced Monday.Al-Hayya, who previously served as the head of the group's political bureau in Gaza, defeated former Hamas chief and veteran leader Khaled Mashaal.5. US President Donald Trump's administration has maintained that Turkey does not currently meet the criteria necessary for purchasing F-35 fighter jets from the United States.To address US concerns, Turkey has been in talks with Washington about offloading the S-400 system.6. Ukraine and the U.S. are coordinating a new round of peace proposals to present to Moscow, hoping that changing war dynamics could create the opportunity to push Russia toward negotiations, Ukrainian and U.S. officials told the Kyiv Independent.7. Greece has approved the purchase of a multi-layer air defense system worth up to €3.5 billion ($4 billion) from Israel, its defense minister said on Thursday.Greece wants to build a multi-layer anti-ballistic, anti-aircraft and anti-drone system, called “Achilles Shield,” with Israeli radars and missiles from Rafael and IAI defense companies forming the core of the system.8. Australia successfully tested a “Frankenstein” medium-range air defense system last month, harnessing existing and new capabilities in a way nobody has tried before.This first-of-type integration, which successfully fired an SM-2 interceptor missile, offers an alternative to buying expensive air defense systems.

En Ukraine, le général Oleksandr Syrskyi, chef d'état-major des armées, sera remplacé par Mykhaïlo Drapatyi qui occupait auparavant un poste de militaire de haut rang. Cette décision intervient après six jours de manifestations à Kiev et dans tout le pays. Les rassemblements ont débuté après que le président ukrainien a limogé son ministre de la Défense, « le populaire et réformateur, Mykhaïlo Fedorov », rappelle le Kyiv Independent. Les manifestations se sont petit à petit « transformées en un appel à remplacer Oleksandr Syrskyi », à la tête des armées ukrainiennes. L'ancien ministre de la Défense a salué cette décision : « une bouffée d'air frais et un nouvel espoir » pour la défense du pays, indique le Kyiv Post. Selon le journal, il s'agit là de « l'un des changements les plus importants à la tête des forces armées depuis le début de l'invasion à grande échelle de la Russie ». Deux approches du conflit Un changement qui illustre deux approches du conflit « Pour les partisans de l'ancien ministre de la Défense, cette nomination indique que Volodymyr Zelensky a entendu les appels à une approche plus rapide et davantage axée sur la technologie dans cette guerre », analyse le Kyiv Post. Pour Le Figaro, à Paris, « la crise oppose deux visions de la guerre : les partisans d'une modernisation profonde face aux défenseurs d'une approche plus traditionnelle. Les premiers jugent possible de gagner la guerre en fragilisant le régime russe à coups de frappes en profondeur. Les seconds cherchent à contenir la progression de l'armée russe et ne jugent pas possible de lui infliger une défaite. » Mykhaïlo Fedorov, l'ancien ministre de la Défense, avait « fait des drones l'arme la plus efficace contre l'envahisseur », rappelle El Pais. Fervent partisan de la modernisation de l'armée ukrainienne, le président ukrainien lui a proposé hier un « poste important au sein du gouvernement », rapporte le Guardian. Volodymyr Zelensky n'a pas donné de détail sur la fonction qu'il pourrait occuper mais a affirmé que l'objectif de l'Ukraine restait « de créer sur le champ de bataille les conditions qui obligeraient la Russie à faire la paix. » Érigé en symbole En Italie, un bijoutier érigé en symbole par l'extrême droite. Mario Roggero, 72 ans, a vu la semaine dernière la Cour de cassation confirmer sa peine de 14 ans et 9 mois d'emprisonnement pour homicide volontaire. En 2021, il avait abattu deux voleurs et blessé un troisième homme alors qu'il prenait la fuite après avoir braqué sa bijouterie. « Depuis des années, l'homme est présenté comme le symbole d'une justice trop sévère envers ceux qui se défendent envers les criminels, écrit l'Opinion. Pour le média français, l'affaire est devenue « l'objet d'une véritable compétition au sein de la majorité. Matteo Salvini lui a rendu visite en prison, [son parti] la Ligue envisage de le présenter aux prochaines élections, une hypothèse pourtant impossible puisque le bijoutier a été condamné à l'inéligibilité perpétuelle […]. [La première ministre italienne] Giorgia Meloni, soucieuse de ne pas abandonner ce terrain à ses alliés devenus concurrents, a également lancé une collecte de signatures parlementaires en faveur du condamné. » À Rome, l'Association nationale des magistrats dénonce « les menaces, les insultes et les discours de haine » à l'encontre de la justice, rapporte le Corriere della Serra et appelle « ceux qui occupent des fonctions institutionnelles à faire preuve de plus de responsabilité et de prudence dans le choix des mots ». Dans les colonnes de La Repubblica, l'ancien procureur général de Milan fustige une affaire instrumentalisée « à des fins de propagande » et « les principes fondamentaux » du droit sacrifiés. Recrudescence de rougeole Aux États-Unis, le nombre de cas de rougeole atteint un niveau record depuis 35 ans. Cette année, le pays a enregistré le plus grand nombre de cas de rougeole depuis 1991 alors que l'année est encore loin d'être finie. 2 295 cas recensés selon l'université Johns-Hopkins. « Signe que le virus réapparait dans les régions où la couverture vaccinale est faible, précise le site américain Axios. Ce qui menace le statut d'élimination de la rougeole aux États-Unis qui doit être réexaminé en novembre. » Toutes les classes d'âges sont touchées par la maladie, ce qui indique que « certains groupes de personnes ne sont pas vaccinés depuis des générations », indique le Washington Post. En cause, « la méfiance croissante envers les vaccins ».

Forty-one missiles and 125 drones launched across Ukraine overnight — twenty-five of them ballistic — and most of the missiles, in Zelensky's own assessment, aimed at the capital. Three people killed in Kyiv at a minimum – 20 or more across the country. At least sixteen wounded – though the tally is rising through the day as rescue efforts continue. Fires burning in five districts of the city. Residential buildings, offices, a student dormitory, industrial premises — hit and ablaze, per the State Emergency Service.Has Putin lost his mind? Can he really think that this kind of mass terror strike is effective? The terror is real — but look closer: this is the logistics war, scaling up in real time, and Russia's vertical empire is losing it. ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Day 1,602.Following President Zelensky's seismic sacking of 35-year-old Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov – a popular, dynamic moderniser in the government – we bring you the reaction on the streets of Kyiv, where protests have broken out. Reports suggest it was irreconcilable differences with commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi that ultimately got Fedorov dismissed – but also that his personal political ambitions had Zelensky worried. Is this the president's biggest political miscalculation since his move against the country's anti-corruption bodies in 2025? Then, we have the latest Ukrainian strikes on Russian ships in the Black Sea.

"If Zelenskyy decides to remove Fedorov, it's gonna be his biggest mistake during the war."Welcome to the inaugural episode of Battleground: The Big Picture, where we cut through the fog of information to bring you the unfiltered reality of global conflicts.In this episode, we sit down with Oleksiy Sorokin, the co-founder and deputy chief editor of The Kyiv Independent.Oleksiy pulls back the curtain on the immense pressures facing the free press in Ukraine, the shifting dynamics of power within the Zelenskyy administration, and the ground-level realities of combating sophisticated Russian disinformation. From the decline of oligarch rule to the critical military dependency on Western air defence, this episode offers an essential, clear-eyed look at the internal and external forces shaping the future of the region.Highlights:The Birth of The Kyiv Independent: How a team of journalists took back control of their voices after being abruptly fired from the Kyiv Post for refusing to silence their political reporting.Inside the Russian Mindset: An analysis of why domestic support for the war is shifting due to practical daily hardships—like fuel shortages and economic strain—rather than moral awakenings.The Death of Oligarch Rule: How the full-scale invasion inadvertently shattered the political and economic grip of Ukraine's wealthy elite, consolidating unprecedented power within the government.Political Tensions & Reshuffles: The internal polling anxieties surrounding former Armed Forces Chief Zaluzhnyi and the potentially catastrophic stakes of moving the popular Defence Minister, Fedorov.The Battlefield Truth: Why long-range Ukrainian drone strikes are changing the narrative, but the critical depletion of Patriot air defence interceptors leaves major cities highly vulnerable to ballistic missile attacks.Join the Conversation: If you have a question about the war in Ukraine or any of the conflicts we cover, email us at podbattleground@gmail.comFollow us on:X - @PodBattlegroundInstagram - podbattlegroundProducer: James HodgsonA Goalhanger Podcast Hosted on Acast.

The numbers are now in, cross-confirmed by Washington think tanks, British intelligence, independent Russian journalists counting graves, and Ukraine's own commander-in-chief.

Silicon Bites SW26-217 | 2026-06-24 | Zelensky stops asking Lukashenko to stay out of the war — and starts counting down to the moment Ukraine removes the equipment Russia has placed on their territory to harm Ukraine, for him. He has been warned, but this warning also demonstrates a more muscular and confident approach from Ukraine. They are they only one globally who have shown the will and capacity to constrain and contain Russia and deliver consequences for its aggression.There is a clock counting down in Minsk now. It started on Friday. For four years and four months, the West has treated Alexander Lukashenko as a bystander to this war. A nervous neighbour. A man who lent Putin his territory once, in February 2022, watched the missiles fly out of his own country into Ukrainian apartment blocks, and then phoned Kyiv to apologise and explain it wasn't really his fault. The bystander narrative has been very convenient — for Lukashenko, for Moscow, and for every Western capital that would rather not think about NATO's longest land border with a hostile state, a willing puppet of the Kremlin's ambitions. ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Silicon Bites Ep358 | 2026-06-24 | They stole it. They sunbathed on it. They shipped their children to it. Now the petrol's gone — and that, finally, is the thing that is forcing Russians to flee Crimea. Today: ISLAND CRIMEA. Sunday morning, the twenty-first of June. Nine o'clock local time. And across the entire occupied Crimean Peninsula, the petrol pumps stop. Not rationed. Not coupon-only. Stopped. Sergey Aksyonov, the Kremlin's man in Simferopol, posts the order to Telegram: from this hour, fuel goes only to the state. Petrol will be sold solely to the government agencies that keep the peninsula running and secure — and to nobody else. Not to you. Not to your car. Not to the tourist stranded sixty kilometres from a working tank.This is the prize Vladimir Putin seized in 2014 and called forever Russian. The sunlit trophy. The symbol of resurgent empire. And on a summer Sunday it cannot fill a single civilian fuel tank. Tonight: how Ukraine turned a trophy into an island, an asset into a liability — and why people who holidayed on stolen land will be stopped not by conscience, but by queue.----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Day 1,574.Today, as President Zelensky declares that “if Ukraine burns, so will Moscow”, we report on a wave of strikes inside Russia that have produced some of the most dramatic images of the war so far, with more than 1,000 drones sowing destruction across multiple regions. Then, after a prominent MAGA influencer admits she fell for Russian propaganda, we ask whether Putin's continued attacks on religious and cultural sites in Ukraine may finally be seen for what they are by the Christian Right in the United States. And after the Russian president appears to answer criticism that he is isolated and afraid of meeting ordinary people, we take a closer look at footage of an apparently spontaneous walkabout that raised eyebrows when a security guard was overheard referring to “background actors”.

ISW's June 2026 analysis, as cited by the AP wire reporting: the long-range strike campaign is therefore reducing Russia's production capacity, while the midrange strike campaign is hurting Russia's ability to transport the gasoline Russia is still able to produce.This is what that doctrine means operationally. Long-range strikes — like the 1,500-kilometre reach to Salavat in Bashkortostan, the 1,700-km reach demonstrated against southern Russian targets, the Kotovo and Saratov-region pumping nodes — destroy production capacity. The refinery cannot be quickly rebuilt. The AVT units take months to replace. The destroyed production is gone from the market for the duration of the rebuild.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Day 1,561.Today, Adelie and Dom look at how Ukraine continues embarrassing Russia during its three-day International Economic Forum, as Zelensky publishes an open letter to Vladimir Putin where he points out Russia's weaknesses. He again asks the Russian president for a face-to-face meeting to bring the war to an end. As we record the episode, Putin is set to take the stage in St Petersburg. Then, we discuss China's increasing involvement enabling the occupation in the occupied territories and how the Ukrainian resistance may have contributed to Ukraine's successful mid-range campaign.Contributors:Adelie Pojzman-Pontay (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @adeliepjz on X.Dom Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Dr Jade McGlynn (Occupied Territories Expert, King's College London).Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Max BowerSocial Producer: Katie InglisStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Day 1,560.Today, Sweden impounds a Russian cargo ship allegedly exporting Ukrainian grain from occupied territories. Then, as images of the results of yesterday's Ukrainian strikes in and around St Petersburg start to appear, Marco Rubio denies any knowledge at all of a US delegation at the nearby economic forum, just as said participants show that they really don't like the press asking them questions one little bit. Dom reports how Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte has directly addressed Russian men, telling them that if they go to fight in Ukraine “you'll be left to suffer in the mud and die”, and Lily looks at a tight vote in the US House of Representatives over Ukraine funding that managed, just, to get over the line.

Day 1,553.Today, in the aftermath of one of the most intense aerial assaults on Ukraine of the entire war, we report on fresh strikes against Russia's Tuapse oil refinery – the site of the extraordinary “manmade volcano” that has become symbolic of Kyiv's campaign against Moscow's energy infrastructure. Antonia Langford joins us live from Kyiv after witnessing ballistic missile attacks on the capital firsthand. We also examine the shrinking number of countries contributing to the Czech-led ammunition initiative, which now supplies around half of Ukraine's artillery ammunition, and assess Britain's attempt to regain control of the political narrative after last week's easing of sanctions on Russia by unveiling new measures targeting cryptocurrency networks accused of financing Putin's war machine.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Antonia Langford (Freelance Journalist in Kyiv). @Antonialford on X.NOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.
