A drone carrying an explosive package and detonator was found near a parked Ukrainian Antonov cargo plane at Leipzig/Halle Airport.

The discovery triggered a major police operation, forcing a temporary airport shutdown and flight diversions while bomb disposal robots inspected the site. Investigators suspect Russian sabotage.

Absolutely spectacular video showing how Ukrainian surveillance drones detect a Russian fuel convoy made up by 3 fuel trucks and heading for Russian-occupied Crimea.

The first strike takes out the last truck in the convoy. Then, the following strike takes out truck number two.

Three Russian army vehicle are helplessly patrolling along the convoy, empathizing the importance for the Russian occupation to bring fuel to this Ukrainian peninsula.

The Omsk refinery, Russia's largest refinery, has suspended all operations.

The attack from July 6, 2026, damaged the CDU-10 crude distillation unit (about 38% of capacity) and led to the shutdown of another major unit, CDU-11 (about 37% of capacity).

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy sent an open letter to Putin. It includes some hard facts unpleasant for the Russian dictator. However, he also proposes a direct meeting for ending this war, on neutral soil, e.g. Switzerland, Türkiye or an Arab country.

Russia’s losing streak is not coming to an end and received another episode, this time in Iraq.

The Iraqi government nationalized the stake of Russia’s Lukoil in regards to the West Qurna-2 oil field, which accounts of around 75%. This oil field produces 460,000 barrels of oil, daily. Instead Iraq‘s oil industry invited US energy giants ExxonMobil and Chevron to bid on the stake.

Iraq wants to avoid being targeted by US sanctions, throwing its former Russian business partner under the bus.

It is slowly dawning on some Russian bloggers what an absolute devastating loss the war is for Russia. Not a single strategic goal has been achieved, but a trillion USD wasted, plus more a million Russian casualties.

The worst is even yet to come. The gap between Russia and the major economies in terms of technology is far greater than it was when the Soviet Union collapsed.

Russia future is bleak and even some ardent Russian nationalists cannot mince words for what is coming.

There will never be true ceasefire let alone peace with the mullah regime in Iran, just as there will never be true peace with Putin’s Russia. Both regimes thrive in conflict. Ignoring their intent will only further their ambitions. The only path to a lasting solution is the final removal of those regimes. Period.

Weakness and appeasement always invites more war, because it tells everyone that military solutions are a (better) option. Russia's aggression in Ukraine is the greatest threat to the world than most realize. It goes far beyond to what happens there.

Iran will try everything to get the nuclear bomb and if the mullahs achieve that, then more countries in that region will follow, with the result that we would be closer to nuclear wars than ever.

The situation in Iran should surprise nobody. Iran has been moving forward in the nuclear program, and Israel cannot accept a nuclear armed Iran. And Iran on the other hand has learned from the failed Budapest Memorandum that treaties are nowadays just ink on paper.

The war in Ukraine and the weak response by the West and the current US administration in particular, which even considered to formally recognize the annexation of Crimea by Russia, further opened the pandora box.

Ukraine has released an extensive video in which the destruction of several strategic bombers of the Russian Air Force is documented.

Aside front he destruction of Russian airframes such as Tu-22, Tu-95, A-50 and An-22, which cannot be replaced, it also shows the planes partially being already armed with missiles, meaning that Russia was about to use them for another missile attack. The fact that Ukrainian drones wiped them out before that attempt only emphasizes Russia‘s monumental defeat.

The attached map shows the rail network of Russia and the Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine. Due to their length it is not feasible for Russians to protect them all. In many cases it is enough to cut a railtrack just at one point to render a connection between two far-reaching cities inoperable.
