Zelenskyy says Russia may mobilize to attack a Baltic state — "not ready for strong confrontation" because it is small.

Estonia's FM Margus Tsahkna: the claim does not match our intelligence. Russia isn't concentrating troops for a NATO strike — "rather the opposite."

A Ukrainian pilot controlled an interceptor drone in northern Ukraine while outside the country, 2,000 kilometers away – a first in the world.

The system is called HORNET VISION Ctrl, developed by Wild Hornets. It previously allowed a pilot from the BULAVA unit to down two Shaheds from 500 kilometers away. Serial deployment has already begun.

Ukraine's SBU and drone forces say they destroyed Russian fuel trains near occupied Luhansk, targeting tankers Russia had stockpiled to supply mechanized units on the front.

The strikes used FP-2 drones and also damaged the rail infrastructure used to move supplies to frontline troops.

Nine days after US and Israeli strikes on Iran, Urals crude went from $40 to $91—, and above Russia's budget target for the first time in months.

The twist: the sanctions discount buyers charge for Russian oil barely moved. Moscow is earning more because the whole market rose, not because its position improved.
Washington just issued a waiver letting India resume sanctioned Russian oil purchases. It lasts 30 days. What happens on day 31 is an open question.
