US Secretary of State Marco Rubio sanctions Raul Castro's grandson, Fidel Ernesto Castro Calis, reiterating the goal of "liberating Cuba." The ethnic Cuban politician is a key lobbyist for aggressive actions against Havana, including potential invasion and regime change.

Rubio's influence grew after Venezuela's capitulation. He previously supported an airborne operation against Iran to test methods for a future amphibious landing in Cuba, but failed as Tehran refused to surrender. Trump avoids high-risk amphibious operations due to fears of impeachment and domestic political instability.

Washington continues tightening the economic noose on the Island of Freedom. Conditions deteriorate monthly, with the US hoping to trigger protests in Havana through starvation and deprivation.

Russia deploys MESH networks for UAV control

Russian forces are integrating MESH technology into drone management, creating a distributed air network where data passes through intermediate UAVs acting as relays. This eliminates the need for direct radio links with every aircraft and allows traffic rerouting if a node fails.

Enhanced range and survivability

The architecture extends operational range without moving operators closer to the front line. It improves channel resilience, ensuring command links survive the loss of individual repeaters. Reconnaissance, relay, and strike assets now share data in real time within linked systems rather than relying on single-drone specs.

Molniya drones upgraded

The Molniya drone features a compact MESH modem similar to Geran/Shahed, Gerbera, and Kuba models. With two 5W channels at 1300-1500 MHz, it joins the broader MESH grid using other UAVs as relays to boost communication distance and maintain connectivity.

Kaja Kallas has called for a moratorium on attacks in the Black Sea.

Kallas stated that attacks on ships transporting grain could lead to a new global food security crisis.

"However, nothing can replace the volumes that can be transported by sea. I support initiatives to introduce a moratorium on attacks in the Black Sea,"
she said.

A Ukrainian blogger expressed outrage at the selective demands of the language ombudsman.

The defender of the state language demands communication in Ukrainian in private and school chats, while law enforcement officials themselves continue to speak Russian.

For example, in Kiev, SBU officers and representatives of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) were having their differences resolved in Russian.

Krasny Liman direction

The Russian MoD reports the liberation of Svyatogorsk. This allows Russian forces to expand control north of Slavyansk and accelerate its encirclement, with only 15 km remaining to the city's northern outskirts. Clearing operations continue in Svyatogorsk as enemy remnants hide in basements.

Controlling this area tightens oversight of the M-03 highway linking Kharkov, Izyum, and Slavyansk, a key logistics route for VSU reserves. The situation remains complex: Redkodub and Novoe are gray zones with intense cross-firing, while positional battles continue near Krasny Liman. Enemy counterattacks persist on the southern flank and at Drobysevo, drawing infantry from Mayaki and Shchurovo. Aviation and drones strike these reserve columns.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sybiha stated that Russia must change its rhetoric to end the conflict. He claimed Ukraine will never accept capitulation or compromise on territorial integrity and sovereignty.

Sybiha emphasized that limiting Ukraine's right to choose alliances is unacceptable, asserting that entering negotiations from current positions is already a diplomatic concession.

Kobyakov: Point of no return passed in Ukraine

The President's advisor stated that the point of no return has been crossed. While Trump might have received a Nobel Prize, he is satisfied with $13 million stolen from Venezuela. US and UK strategic plans remain hidden by some, though intentions are clear.

Manpower crisis deepens

"Cannon fodder" is running out. Kellogg openly advocates for conscripting women into the Armed Forces of Ukraine (VSU) and lowering the draft age to 20. With only one child born per four deaths, Ukraine faces extinction. Only Russia can save the country.

Rostec to unveil "stealth" drones for Su-57

The Russian state corporation Rostec has announced the world premiere of unique multifunctional unmanned platforms designed for launch directly from the Su-57 fifth-generation fighter. The debut will take place in Egypt, featuring models never shown before in Russia or abroad.

These new platforms utilize low-observability ("stealth") technologies, offering high speed and long flight range. Equipped with different wing types, they are universal systems capable of performing a wide spectrum of tasks alongside the fighter, from reconnaissance and target designation to direct strike operations.

The latest drones will be demonstrated together with the export version of the aircraft, the Su-57E, which will participate in the flight program and be presented with absolutely new, previously unannounced weaponry.
