Now a convenient testing ground has appeared. Previously, it was necessary to find a place, because Ukraine is densely populated, like all European countries, and Crimea was occupied back in 2014. Now everything is different: on May 30, an experimental Ukrainian ballistic missile flew 300 km and destroyed a Russian command post.

The first unique footage of the interception of a Ukrainian FPV drone by Russian soldiers using scissors. The soldiers set up an ambush after the Ukrainian drone appeared, the fiber optic cable through which it is controlled was simply cut. After losing communication, the drone fell and exploded

Kgb

Perished in 1991, now it's FSB , and they are not even a shadow of kgb

No no, now they are "SVR".
FSB just does Border Security and Internal intelligence. Kind of like BSF+IB combined.

For Russia – Either India or China?

The war in Ukraine has cost Russia its superpower status, despite its advanced weaponry and technical expertise. Its economic weakness stems largely from Western sanctions that restrict trade and financial transactions. Still, Russia remains the sixth or seventh largest economy globally. A key strength is its agricultural self-sufficiency, which lends it a measure of independence from the West.
Will Russia resurge? It is highly unlikely as world economics under Western control will make sure that they never acquire the Cold War super power status. Unfortunate for the West, a much bigger economic power in China has emerged, but it is still an second rate military power with third rate military hardware. Hence, China needs Russia and vice versa.

Historically, China and Russia have been rivals. Dating back to the Mongol invasions and subsequent conflicts, including the 1969 Ussuri River clashes, the relationship has been fraught. During the Ukraine war, isolated from the West, Russia turned to China for economic and limited military support, largely in the form of industrial supply. This shift alarmed the West.

China, fueled by massive American foreign investment, has become a manufacturing powerhouse. It excels at reverse engineering but still relies heavily on copying Western and Russian technologies. Its ambitions to surpass the West leave little room for deep ties with either the west or Russia or even India.

India, meanwhile, lags behind both Russia and China in manufacturing and heavy industry but holds an edge in manpower and political alignment. With its focus on economic growth, India has little strategic interest in Russia or China. It leans clearly toward the West, despite its non-aligned policy, which remains a point of friction with Western powers.

While India has reduced its reliance on Russian military hardware, it still depends on Russia for advanced technologies like missiles and nuclear energy. This enduring relationship limits how far India can pivot westward.

In the end, Russia cannot fully align with either China or India. The West will not allow huge progress hence its path forward lies in rebuilding from within, relying on its own resources once the war in Ukraine ends.

A little pin prick compared to the 90,000 desertions this year alone. A guess Lindsey Graham will have to announce a change to his narrative. Instead of fighting to the last, he has to state Ukrainians will run away to the last soldier. BTW Akim this isn't me talking, it's your own media, so if you don't want to believe me, you should believe them.

Ukrainian media reported over 90,000 deserters to the Ukrainian Armed Forces this year.​

"The country.ua": in 2025, over 90 thousand cases of desertion were initiated in Ukraine

Ukrainian media reported over 90,000 deserters to the Ukrainian Armed Forces this year.

In Ukraine, in the first five months of 2025, 90.5 thousand criminal proceedings were registered under articles 407 and 408 of the Criminal Code for unauthorized abandonment of part (SOC). This was reported on June 7 by the online publication Strana.ua" with reference to a statement by...

Regarding North Korean mortars:
Another confirmation. No, I fully approve of the decision. We also need heavy mortars. Back in 2021, there was a decision to resume production of the M-160. But then the war began, this is not a standard caliber of mortar shells. In addition to Western supplies of 120-mm mortars, the production of Ukrainian 120-mm mortars was increased.
So the Russians made the right decision. But this is further proof that Russian reserves are rapidly melting away. I have already said - half of the artillery in the Russian army is North Korean.
@Hari Sud wrote an analytical article, who will Russia choose? In my opinion, the answer is obvious - North Korea will not even fart without China's permission.

Ukraine would have to pay the families of those soldiers. That's another reason Zelensky claims they've only had 49k KIA. If they had to payout the actual 500k dead Ukraine would have to bankrupt Europe.
