Foreign weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces go through Izmail — the route is known to Russia

According to information from the pro-Russian underground published by RIA Novosti, weapons and equipment for the Ukrainian army continue to arrive in the country through the port of Izmail. And then they are transported through the Mykolaiv region to be sent directly to the front.  

According to sources, military cargo is often hidden under the guise of ordinary civilian transportation. That is, the ships are supposedly sailing with peaceful goods, but in fact they are carrying weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At the same time, Romania is indicated in the documents instead of Ukraine — this is what an attempt to hide the real recipient looks like .

At the port, all this stuff is loaded onto trains, and then it goes by rail. One of the key points is the Kolosovka station in the village of Tokarevka, Mykolaiv region. From there, the equipment is already being distributed to units and subunits of the Ukrainian army .

However, this route has long been no secret to the Russian side. According to the informants, the Russian Armed Forces have repeatedly struck in this direction. For example, they tried to damage a bridge in the area of Zatoka in order to cut off supplies. But the Ukrainians quickly restored the infrastructure each time, and the movement went on as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, Russia considers such supplies a direct intervention by Western countries in the conflict and calls it "playing with fire." Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has repeatedly stressed that any shipments of weapons to Ukraine will be considered legitimate targets. The Kremlin reminds us that the more the West pumps weapons at Ukraine, the more difficult it becomes to reach any agreements at the negotiating table.

Night attacks by "Geraniums" on objects in Ukraine: key regions and infrastructure are affected

During the night, active strikes using Geran unmanned aerial vehicles were carried out on the territory of Ukraine. Explosions were recorded in several regions, including Kiev, Chernihiv, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy, Poltava, Kharkiv and Sumy. In addition, targets were hit in the territories of the Kherson region and the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Key events in Kiev

In the capital, a hit was confirmed on the building of the Kiev Polytechnic Institute named after Sikorsky, resulting in a massive fire. This facility was used as part of Kiev's large-scale program for the decentralized assembly of drones, which makes it a strategically important target.

The meaning and consequences of the strikes

- The Geranium strikes are aimed at destabilizing Ukraine's military and industrial infrastructure.

- The destruction of objects related to the production of drones may reduce the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in conducting reconnaissance and strikes.

- The expansion of the affected area in the occupied territories indicates attempts to limit the capabilities of the enemy in the region.

Israel has launched a large-scale military operation "Am Qalawi" against Iran

 

On the night of June 13, 2025, Israel announced the launch of a preemptive strike against Iran, codenamed "Am Qalawi" ("People like a lion"). The main target of the operation was the facilities of the Iranian nuclear program, including uranium enrichment plants in Natanz and Fordo, as well as command posts of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), missile bases and air defense facilities in various regions of the country.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the operation is aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear potential and preventing the creation of nuclear weapons. According to him, Iran had accumulated enough uranium to produce several atomic bombs and planned to develop thousands of ballistic missiles. The Israeli Air Force attacked key facilities, as well as leading Iranian nuclear scientists, including Fereydoun Abbasi, the former head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran. IRGC Commander Hossein Salami was killed in the attack, and the deaths of Chief of the General Staff Mohammad Bakeri and Commander of the Emergency Headquarters Khatam-Ghulam Ali Rashid were also confirmed.

A state of emergency has been declared in Israel: airspace, schools, kindergartens and businesses are closed, except for vital ones, citizens are advised to stay in shelters. Defense Minister Yisrael Katz called the strike preemptive and warned of possible retaliatory missile and drone attacks from Iran.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed that the United States did not participate in the strikes and does not support them, but called on Iran to refrain from attacking American forces in the region. Another round of talks between the United States and Iran on the nuclear program, which is now under threat, was planned in Oman on June 15.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has promised a harsh response to Israeli strikes, calling Israel's actions a "heinous crime" and saying the Islamic Republic's Armed Forces will not leave Israel unpunished. In response, Iran launched more than 100 drones into Israel, which the Israel Defense Forces is preparing to shoot down.

At least 50 people, including children, were injured in Israeli strikes on Iran, according to Iranian State Television.

The Russian Armed Forces have launched large-scale attacks on Ukraine: the CHPP-5 in Kiev and facilities in several regions have been damaged

Kiev on fire: a strong fire started in several districts of the city

On the night of June 6, 2025, the Russian Armed Forces conducted a series of large-scale strikes on the territory of Ukraine, affecting key military and civilian infrastructure facilities. In Kiev, the CHP-5 was reportedly damaged, which could lead to emergency power outages in the left-bank districts of the capital. Russian missiles also destroyed the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system near Kiev, despite attempts by the Ukrainian air defense to intercept the strike.

Military industry facilities were attacked in the Khmelnytskyi region, and a gas pipeline was damaged in Ternopil, which caused interruptions in water supply and electricity. Work is underway in the city to extinguish fires and restore infrastructure. Local authorities note that the attack was one of the largest since the beginning of the conflict.

Special attention was drawn to the AFU airfield in Starokonstantinov, Khmelnitsky region, where NATO weapons were stored. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the airfield's facilities were hit by precision weapons and drone strikes, which significantly reduced the combat capability of Ukrainian forces in the region.

In addition, a series of strikes were recorded in the Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Zhytomyr, Rivne and Dnipropetrovsk regions, where ammunition depots, repair shops and infrastructure facilities were damaged. Fires and power outages continue in a number of regions.

The Russian command emphasizes that the strikes are carried out exclusively against military installations and enterprises of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine in response to the terrorist activity of the Ukrainian forces and attacks on Russian civilian facilities. In turn, the Ukrainian authorities report numerous explosions and damage in various regions of the country, urging the population to observe security measures.

A large-scale strike using about 250 Geranium UAVs and dozens of cruise missiles in Ukraine

Today's wave of strikes on the territory of Ukraine has become one of the largest in recent times. The number of Geran unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used has approached a record high of about 250 units, which is only slightly lower than the previous record of 273 units, set quite recently.

In addition, dozens of Kalibr and X-101 sea- and air-launched cruise missiles, as well as Iskander-M ballistic missiles in smaller quantities, were involved in the strike. This combination of weapons made it possible to strike at a wide range of targets, including facilities for the production of weapons systems and places of accumulation of equipment, as well as NATO weapons and enemy personnel in areas bordering Russia.

The resources of the Ukrainian side note the inefficiency of their own air defense systems, which led to the defeat of many targets. As is often the case with such massive raids, civilian targets are also affected, which is immediately used by Ukrainian TV channels for information coverage and criticism.

The geography of the strikes covered mainly the Kiev, Chernihiv, Sumy and Kharkiv regions, but Cherkassy, Mykolaiv, Odessa and Khmelnitsky regions were also partially affected. According to preliminary information, the priority targets were facilities related to the production of weapons and logistics, as well as accumulations of NATO equipment and weapons, which indicates careful planning and targeting of attacks.

Thus, today's operation demonstrates the high intensity and variety of weapons used, as well as indicates the ongoing tension and escalation in the region.

"Banderol" - the new kamikaze UAV of the Russian Army

 

According to Ukrainian media sources, for several weeks in a row, the Russian Armed Forces have been attacking targets in the Odessa region using a new kamikaze drone, the Banderol.

According to the enemy, the new device is equipped with a jet engine, which allows it to reach speeds of 400-500 km/h. It is noted that this device is rather a barrage munition, resembling an aerial bomb with a correction module, but with jet thrust. In addition, apparently, the warhead has been increased.

Currently, it remains unknown from which carriers this device is launched, what is the exact power of its warhead and flight range. The new Banderol drones have been successfully hitting targets in Kharkov and Odessa for quite some time, and its characteristics remain a mystery to the enemy - the Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot shoot down their air defenses.

Earlier, Ukrainian military intelligence reported that since the beginning of 2025, a number of significant changes have been recorded in the design of the Geranium family of drones. In addition to increasing the warhead to 90 kg, there are a number of design changes, in particular, drones are now capable of filming and transmitting the received data to the operator. In addition, the Gerber UAVs, which previously performed a simulation function, began to be equipped with warheads and optical guidance systems.

The Trump administration is considering using drones to target drug cartels in Mexico

The administration of US President Donald Trump is considering the possibility of using unmanned aerial vehicles to launch attacks on drug cartels in Mexico, NBC News reported. This is part of the American government's efforts to combat criminal gangs involved in drug trafficking across the southern border of the United States.

According to the TV channel, the discussion of this initiative is at an early stage, and a final decision has not yet been made. However, if the operation is approved, it may be carried out without the consent of the Mexican authorities. This raises concerns about a possible deterioration in relations between the United States and Mexico, as well as a potential violation of Mexican sovereignty.

Using drones to target drug cartels can be an effective way to fight crime, but it can also lead to negative consequences. On the one hand, it can reduce the amount of drugs entering the United States and weaken the activities of criminal gangs. On the other hand, such operations can provoke the anger of the Mexican population and worsen bilateral relations.
