Locomotives and wagons can be kept running. But they can't stop rail from wearing out.

 

Russia isn't a country without communications, and rail is a very important component of that. The road connections to the Far East have always been poor, due to vast geography and a low population in between Moscow and Vladivostok.

 

Pilots flying into Domodedovo airport are seeing more and more cannibalised airliners. As civil aviation starts to break down, then passenger miles on the trains increases. But if derailment rate increases due to worn out track, then what. If the Far East becomes disconnected, then Russia, in effect, ceases to be a country, in that the Far East will increasingly seek their own agenda.

Several airports in Russia suspended operations overnight on Tuesday amid drone attacks from Ukraine, reports say.

The arrivals and departures of civilian aircraft were restricted at the airports of Nizhny Novgorod, Saratov, Tambov and Kaluga, according to Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency.

Over the past few days, Russian authorities shut down airports in Moscow twice, on Friday and Sunday, amid Kyiv’s drone raids into Russian territory.

According to the agreement, Ukraine will receive $3 billion in 2025-2026, which will be used for:

・procurement of foreign defense products

・repair and maintenance of military equipment

・implementation of joint projects with the participation of Ukrainian and international defense companies

・purchase of other critical materials, including Ukrainian-made products.

What a shame.

So CIA knew about this flight. Because someone from Putin's inner circle told them.

Residents of 13 regions of Russia experienced what Ukrainians have been enduring for more than three years overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday. According to the Russian Defence Ministry's statement, "duty air defence measures destroyed and intercepted 296 Ukrainian drone aircraft over the territories of the Moscow region and the regions of: Bryansk, Belgorod, Vladimir, Voronezh, Ivanovo, Kaluga, Kursk, Oryol, Ryazan, Smolensk, Tver, and Tula."

As a result of the overnight air attacks, all airports in the Moscow air traffic hub: Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky temporarily suspended operations.

In this war, the weak points of both warring parties are similar. Russia's weak point is that everything depends on Putin. When Putin took Crimea, he said that if he left for a day, everything would stop.
However, Putin's opponents have exactly the same weakness. Hyper-centralization of control in the center in Washington. As soon as America truly surrenders(we certainly won't take seriously this funny performance that Trump is currently putting on), all the American puppets around the world (UK, EU etc) will immediately run away.

Ukrainian border guards are delivering devastating blows to the Russian troops in the Kursk sector. They have destroyed key Russian positions and facilities, according to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

Ukrainian border guard operators reportedly destroyed key Russian targets: a take-off position for Russian drones, a raft hiding place, seven militant hideouts, two artillery positions, a dugout, a firing point, a truck, and two telecommunication towers.

In a closed-door briefing before a South Korean parliamentary committee, a National Intelligence Service official told lawmakers that 4,700 North Korean troops had been killed or wounded, The Washington Post reported.

The North Korean soldiers killed fighting in Kursk were reportedly cremated before their remains were returned home. Lee’s figures showed there has been a sharp increase in North Korean casualties since the last NIS update in January 2025. 

In January, the NIS believed only 2,700 North Korean soldiers had been injured fighting in Russia while 200 were thought to have been killed. If the intelligence agency’s figures are correct, North Korea has since seen a doubling of soldiers killed since January.

Ukraine triggered chaos and panic in Moscow as dozens of attack drones swarmed around the Russian capital.

Strikes hit a key Putin microchip plant in Zelenograd district, with explosions igniting a drone-making plant, another defence plant in Dubna, as well as a key nuclear research base in Moscow region. 

There was major disruption at Moscow's major airports, which were forced to close amid the drone attacks, leading to huge flight delays.

Well, drones are simply dollars used to buy drone components from China. More dollars mean more drones. But Ukraine`s economy does not exist. So the person who triggered all this things is the person who pay dollars to Ukraine.

Sounds very Putinesque.

Ukraine's economy doesn't exist.

Ukraine doesn't exist.

Yet Ukraine keeps on resisting Putin's genocidal war of choice 

Trump or no Trump.

UPDATE

 

"Today’s chat examines the very provocative plans of German Chancellor Merz to supply the Taurus missile to Ukraine. I believe he may not properly appreciate the way the Russians distinguish between American, French, British missiles and those the Germans are providing.  As I say here, President Putin will have no choice but to respond with missiles destroying German military assets because a large and vocal part of the Russian population will not allow him to sit on his hands.

Do heads of state determine the will of the people or are they implementers of the will of the people? The question was posed by Lev Tolstoy as the central issue of War and Peace.  Here and now my call is that Putin must implement the will of the people and not his own predispositions. Hence. If the Germans do go through with deliveries of Taurus to Kiev, Putin will attack Germany with Oreshnik hypersonic missiles, likely after making his case before the UN Security Council. There is no reason for him to conceal his intentions. There is no need to be surreptitious: the Oreshniks are unstoppable.
Donald Trump is in a similar situation. His predisposition is to oversee a peace negotiation that ends in a treaty closely approximating Russian demands. However, the political forces in Europe and on Capitol Hill work against that. In this chat we discuss the bill that Lindsey Graham has introduced in the Senate calling for imposition of very harsh new economic sanctions on Russia with reference to Russia’s latest drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian cities. Graham says the bill is approved by 80 Senators, making it veto-proof.

I believe Graham’s bill will precipitate the long-awaited declaration by Trump that the USA is leaving the peace process and ending its involvement in the Ukraine war.  In that case, Trump can claim to be even-handed. He will accept the inevitable with respect to new sanctions, saying the intention is to moderate Russian demands to conclude a peace.  And he will simultaneously end U.S. military, financial and intelligence aid to Ukraine to moderate Ukrainian demands.  The net effect will indeed be to end the war on the terms of the victor, Russia, sooner rather than later.

Otherwise, in this interview Judge Napolitano posted a video of Merz claiming that Russia has been attacking civilian targets in Ukraine – apartment buildings, hospitals, kindergartens.  These are outrageous lies coming from Kiev and disseminated irresponsibly by Merz. In this regard, he is now rivaling British Prime Minister Starmer in the Pinocchio rankings.

I was particularly pleased to deal with the question of the drone attack on President Putin’s helicopter when he toured the Kursk oblast at the start of the week.  Some analysts have said that this indicated that US or British intelligence sharing with Kiev had enabled this assassination attempt.  There is even the suggestion that Trump may have had foreknowledge of the attack. However, there are, as I say here, other possible explanations, including the Ukraine’s own surveillance with drones given that the Russian President was flying just across the border from Ukrainian positions. Or, more likely their intelligence could have been provided by Russian traitors based in Kursk.

In the past several days the Russian authorities have made arrests of Kursk officials for expropriating defense funds that were allocated to the oblast early in the Special Military Operation. This theft, it is said, made possible the successful Ukrainian incursion in August 2024.  Russian news reports yesterday emphasized the rampant corruption in Kursk. It is not inconceivable that in such an environment there have been willing collaborators in Kursk selling intelligence to the Ukrainians."

Just before the Russians were about to sack Berlin in May of 1945, while hiding in Hitlers bunker from the downpour of artillery, Goebbels actually said about who was at fault that 'this was a mandate by the German people'.  Sounds familiar to me.

Taiwanization of Ukraine.
 

While Ukraine has focused its efforts on strengthening its military power, including with the help of European countries and the United States, Russia is developing an offensive on the diplomatic front.
 

A number of high-ranking politicians, including an adviser to V. Putin, as well as deputies of various parties, including the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov, have stated that in a legal sense, no one dissolved the USSR. And in one of the documents, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the USSR and Russia are one and the same with a different name. It remains to hear the opinion of the judicial authorities on this issue, and after that, Russia's position on Ukraine will not be based on unsubstantiated desires, but will receive a legal basis.

On the morning of May 30, two powerful explosions occurred in the Russian city of Vladivostok near the Desantnaya (Landing) Bay. RBC-Ukraine's sources confirmed that these were the result of a successful operation by Ukraine's Defense Intelligence (HUR).

According to reports, at least two explosions took place in the area where the 47th Separate Air Assault Battalion of the 155th Separate Guards Marine Brigade (military unit 30926) is stationed — one near the checkpoint, and the other at the location of the personnel and command of the unit.
