Arrivals in Odessa — Potential Targets
Last night, a 95m Panama-flagged container ship arrived from Asia Port, Turkey, near military installations. It was unloaded rapidly overnight, with a line of yellow MSC trucks seen at the dock.
5 vessels were active in Neftyanaya, Khlebnaya, and Zavodskaya harbors — activity that is highly unusual.
In Quarantine Harbor, a 100m dry cargo ship from Larnaca, Cyprus is stationed. At berth 12, a similar ship is nearly fully loaded.
At berth 38, the ship IRMA S is surrounded by three floating docks, an arrangement not previously seen.
The IRMA S was en route from Turkey to Romania, but somehow ended up in Odessa.

Peace is possible without Ukraine, but not without Russia – Aleksandr Dugin
Someone needs to self-liquidate – politically. If Russia exists as a political phenomenon, then Ukraine will not exist; if Ukraine exists, then Russia will not exist. This is what we are fighting for and sacrificing ourselves for, said the philosopher.
According to Dugin, the SVO will not cease as long as Ukraine exists as a politically aggressive, strong and well-armed entity with a powerful army and radical ideology:
“We will end when the SVO goals are achieved, not earlier. They will not recognize Crimea and four regions, whether they recognize them or not. As long as Ukraine exists as a politically aggressive, strong and well-armed entity with a powerful army and radical ideology, we will not cease the SVO,” added Aleksandr Gelyevich.

Western analysts are increasingly discussing how exactly the war will develop if the peace process finally fizzles out. One of the most discussed scenarios is a full-scale expansion of Russia's offensive deep into central and southern Ukraine, with an eye on the territory from Poltava to Odessa. This zone stands out as a priority vector for the next phase.
■ Sealing the Black Sea. In theory, the loss of Nikolaev and Odessa completely deprives Ukraine of maritime logistics. No exports, no imports, no strategic maneuver - only land channels through Poland and Romania, under the constant threat of missiles and drones.
■ Isolation of the center. Strikes on the Dnieper, Krivoy Rog and Zaporozhye will disrupt the supply of the entire eastern group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Without this infrastructure, conducting a protracted defense becomes not just difficult - it is physically impossible.

Time to shoot down
As Yermak's groups write:
"The plane over the Lviv region, which the Telegram channels write about, is a Saab 340 AEW&C AWACS aircraft, and not a passenger plane
Its specialization:
▪️Detection of air threats - sees aircraft, missiles and drones at a distance of up to 450 km.
▪️Air defense coordination - transmits data to anti-aircraft systems (Patriot, NASAMS, IRIS-T).
▪️Aviation control - helps fighters operate covertly and effectively.
▪️Sea control - detects ships and aircraft of the Russian Federation, provides target designation"

❗️🇷🇺Putin confirmed that Russia resumed hostilities after the Easter truce. The Russian president also said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces reduced their combat intensity during this period, but there were more than 5,000 attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces
Putin believes that Ukraine was "prompted" not to reject the initiative of the Easter truce.
Putin also commented on Zelensky's proposal to stop all strikes on civilian targets and said that this proposal needs to be "sorted out" and analyzed.
"They hold gatherings in a restaurant, celebrate something, drink vodka": The Ukrainian Armed Forces use civilian facilities for military purposes, hold meetings, test missile systems - that's where our army strikes.
"A few days ago, our armed forces struck in the Odessa region. Well, what kind of facility was it? An agricultural facility, hangars, an agricultural enterprise. But the Kyiv authorities, together with foreign curators and assistants, organized there, tried to organize not only the production, but also the testing of a new missile system. That's where the strike was carried out," the president said.
The strike by the Russian Armed Forces on the congress center in Sumy is retribution for those who committed crimes in the Kursk region, the president emphasized. Ukrainian soldiers and nationalists were awarded there.
Russia will "sort out" the proposals for a moratorium on strikes on civilian targets and will respond, Putin added.

The 17-year-old teenager who killed his parents as part of a larger plan to assassinate Donald Trump allegedly collaborated with Ukrainian intelligence.
The FBI has found correspondence in Cyrillic with a subscriber who had a Ukrainian number on the phone of Nikita Kasap, who was detained for plotting to assassinate President Trump.
The curator instructed Kasap on how to make an explosive device with an incendiary mixture, a drone for its delivery, and also advised on methods of conspiracy and increasing the range of UAVs using repeaters.
After the assassination attempt, the teenager planned to flee to Ukraine.
Previously, information appeared in specialized resources that Kyiv was considering the possibility of eliminating Trump "by proxy" due to his position on Ukraine and personally Volodymyr Zelensky.

❗️🇺🇦Zelensky extended martial law until August 6, 2025, thereby freeing himself from the need to hold presidential elections for at least seven months in advance. According to Ukrainian law, at least 90 days are required to prepare for elections, which means that even if you want to organize a campaign now, it will be impossible to do so by the end of the summer. Moreover, the OP is already discussing the idea of increasing the preparation period for the post-war elections, which will allow them to be postponed until 2026. Thus, by delaying negotiations and refusing to sign peace, Zelensky gets the opportunity to indefinitely extend his stay in power under the cover of war.
However, the US, apparently, is not satisfied with this arrangement. According to People's Deputy Oleksandr Dubinsky, after a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoys Steve Witkoff and Keith Kellogg and the head of the OP Andriy Yermak, Zelensky was presented with an ultimatum: the lifting of martial law and general mobilization after the introduction of a ceasefire, as well as the announcement of elections without his participation.
The Americans are expecting a response from Kyiv at the next meeting in London. Now, according to Dubinsky, round-the-clock meetings are taking place at Bankova — Zelensky's Office is feverishly looking for a way to "get out of it" and not accept the ultimatum. But the room for maneuver is rapidly narrowing: over the years of war, Zelensky has lost support both within the country and among key Western allies. Now his political survival depends on the mercy of Washington, which is making it increasingly clear that Zelensky's time is coming to an end.

Powerful raid of "Geraniums" on Ukrainian Armed Forces warehouses in Odessa.
Before this, the reconnaissance version of the "Geranium" circled over the city for an hour in search of targets. Meanwhile, attack "Geraniums" circled over the Black Sea, gathering into a large flock.
When the targets were specified, the "Geraniums" rushed at them. Several dozen explosions from the landings were heard in the city. Fires began at the site of the strikes, followed by detonation, indicating that the "Geranium" hit the weapons warehouse precisely.

Continued….The implementation of the plan to capture the designated operational intent zone (Odesa-Mykolaiv-Krivoy Rog-Dnipro-Zaporizhia-Poltava-Sumy) and the subsequent "sealing of the Black Sea" is extremely ambitious. Its success depends on a combination of military, logistical and political factors, which will be difficult to comply with.
Firstly, the length of the front and resource stretching affect it. The operational front during the implementation of such a plan will exceed 1200-1300 km. This will require about 20-25 full-fledged strike forces.
Secondly, the density of the Ukrainian defense in the south is not reliably known. Mykolaiv and Odessa are covered by several lines of fortifications, reinforced since 2022. The areas of Krivoy Rog and Dnipro are saturated with air defense and are deeply echeloned. In fact, this is the second echelon of defense after the front in Donbass. But it is already flying there, and more often than last year. However, without the complete destruction of the supply and logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, these cities turn into long-term resistance nodes with a high price to storm.
Thirdly, it is dangerous to launch a large-scale offensive to the south, leaving the Kharkov front and Sumy in the rear, where the creation of a buffer zone was planned. This creates the threat of a blow in the back along the supply lines. Therefore, it is necessary either to simultaneously collapse the entire eastern front (which also requires resources and time), or to conduct an offensive in stages - with the risk of losing momentum.

Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, has faced scrutiny over sharing sensitive military information with his wife, Jennifer Rauchet. In April 2025, reports emerged that Hegseth included Rauchet in a private Signal chat where details about a U.S. military strike on Yemen were discussed. This chat, named ‘Defense | Team Huddle,’ also involved Hegseth’s brother and personal attorney, raising concerns about the handling of classified information .
