❗️Rutte stated in a Fox News interview that Witkoff, Kushner, and Rubio are working on a peace deal, but everything depends on Putin.
Russia is losing 30–35 thousand troops killed and wounded every month, its economy is in crisis (≈50% of the budget and 75% of tax revenue goes to the war). Ukraine is effectively striking Russian oil refineries.

Political analyst Melih Demirtaş spoke with AnewZ’s Nadia Gyane on Azerbaijan’s exclusion from the European Union’s new Connectivity Agenda Platform and why it raises significant questions about the initiative’s long-term viability, given Baku’s central role in the Middle Corridor linking Central Asia and Europe.
Demirtaş argued that geography, infrastructure and existing trade routes make Azerbaijan an indispensable actor in regional connectivity. He suggested the decision may reflect temporary political considerations and that Azerbaijan would eventually be included in future discussions.

⚡️Ghalibaf: Islamabad Memorandum Reached with the US is a Defeat for Washington
“We consider the #Islamabadmemorandum a declaration of the #UnitedStates’ defeat,” Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf @mb_ghalibaf said in his speech at the opening of the 20th Session of the Conference of the Parliamentary Union of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (PUIC) member states in #Baku, APA reports.
“This war was not merely a military confrontation. It was an attempt organized to alter the strategic balance of the region and impose its will on a free nation. Those who planned the aggression believed that through military pressure, blockade, psychological operations and acts of terror, they could force the Iranian people to retreat and rewrite the region’s equations according to their wishes. However, what happened was completely contrary to their calculations. The Iranian people demonstrated that the era of forcibly imposing one’s will on independent nations has come to an end. The world saw how Iran resisted and how it achieved victory,” Ghalibaf stressed.

Attacks on the Russian Balaklava and Simferopol thermal power plants, as well as on Gazprom facilities.
It was an extremely difficult night for Russian energy infrastructure.
According to reports from Crimea, the Balaklava thermal power plant was attacked, leaving Sevastopol without electricity. At the same time, a major fire broke out at the Simferopol thermal power plant—one of the peninsula’s key energy facilities.
Fires were also reported in the Bakhchysarai and Kerch areas, as well as near the Gvardeyskoye airfield.
In parallel, there were reports of attacks on the Orenburg gas processing plant and the Gazprom helium facility.

The European Commission has unveiled a new Connectivity Agenda Platform aimed at strengthening transport, energy, digital and trade links, invovling the EU, several Central Asian states, Armenia, Moldova, Türkiye and Ukraine, and other partners.
However, Azerbaijan’s absence from the participant list has prompted questions about the platform’s practical viability, given the country’s central role in the Middle Corridor linking Central Asia to Europe through the Caspian Sea, the South Caucasus and Türkiye.

#Russia has to leave all of #Ukraine, including Crimea and the gasoline will flow again. It is so simple. There is of course the payment of reparations to Ukraine for all the attrocities. And Russia has to downsize its army with 80 percent. And #Putin has to fly from a window.

You honestly have to stand up and give a slow clap for the absolute strategic genius of Vladimir Putin. He launched a three-day war to completely “demilitarize” Ukraine and turn it into a defenseless buffer zone. 1,600 days later, he has accidentally created the most lethal, high-tech military superpower in modern European history right on his own doorstep.. 🇷🇺🤡🇺🇦
A massive new briefing from the atlantic council confirms what military analysts have been watching unfold by mid-2026: Putin’s master plan has backfired in the most spectacular way imaginable. Back in 2014, the Ukrainian military was an underfunded ghost town. Today? They have treated the battlefield like a brutal tech start-up. By ditching old-school bureaucracy and empowering young, creative commanders with domestic tech companies, Ukraine has built a drone arsenal so advanced it is literally making NATO generals blush during joint exercises. 🚀💻
Ukraine is now an undisputed drone superpower. They have single-handedly neutralized Russia’s Black Sea Fleet using homemade naval drones, and are currently executing a complete “logistics lockdown” on the ryska armén using massive mid-range drone swarms. If Putin accepts peace now, he has to live next door to a permanently hostile, hyper-militarized powerhouse. If he keeps fighting, Ukraine just keeps upgrading its sci-fi arsenal while Russian troops are still begging for diesel for their 1980s tanks. This is the Kremlin’s ultimate geopolitical nightmare unfolding in 4K. Grab your popcorn, the coping is reaching terminal velocity! 😂🍿

You honestly cannot make this stuff up. Imagine being the third-largest oil producer on the planet and your entire multi-billion dollar invasion force is about to get completely paralyzed because you literally ran out of gas.. Ryska armén has officially hit “E” for empty! 🇷🇺⛽️🤡
Bombshell internal leaks from within the Russian General Staff reveal that battlefield commanders have been frantically warning Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov that their tanks and supply trucks are straight up running on fumes. Thanks to Ukraine’s non-stop long-range drone strikes vaporizing Russian refineries, the Kremlin has been forced to panic-divert fuel away from the frontlines and occupied Crimea just to keep the lights on in Moscow and prevent a massive domestic energy crisis.
So while Putin is busy hiding in his bunker, disconnecting his security systems from the internet because he’s terrified of getting digitally tracked, his glorious “military steamroller” is stuck on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck. Imagine starting a three-day blitzkrieg only to end up getting evicted from your supply lines 1,600 days later because you forgot to bring extra fuel cans. Absolute peak 2026 coping, grab your popcorn! 😂🍿
