About ending the war:

🇷🇺🇺🇦As Kommersant reports, one of the bombs that failed to go off on the railway last weekend allowed the participants in the investigation of the terrorist attacks to establish that the Ukrainian saboteurs used C-4 plastic explosive charges of American origin. The first suspects have also appeared in the case of the quadcopter attacks on military airfields.

FSB and Investigative Committee officers are interrogating the drivers of the trailers used to deliver the drones to the attack sites and are looking for a former Donetsk DJ who could have been involved in sending the dangerous cargo.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Russia just stuck Ukraine with a 103.6 billion hryvnia ($2.5 billion) bill

That’s what Kiev now owes to the families of 6,000 dead soldiers—assuming all the bodies are identifiable.

Under Ukrainian law, each family is entitled to up to 17.27 million hryvnias, or about $422,800.

Multiply that by 6,000 and the total hits 103.6 billion hryvnias, or $2.5 billion USD.

ℹ️As of June 2025, the Ukrainian government provides a one-time financial compensation to the families of military personnel who have died in the line of duty. The standard compensation amount is 15 million Ukrainian hryvnias (UAH), which is approximately $367,200 USD at current exchange rates.

Additionally, there is a separate provision for a one-time cash benefit calculated as 750 times the subsistence minimum for able-bodied individuals, which, as of January 1, 2024, is 3,028 UAH. This results in a payment of approximately 2,271,000 UAH (around $55,600 USD).

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Western outlets have published a satellite image of Dyagilevo Airbase in Ryazan Region, showing 3 Tu-95MS and 5 Tu-22M3 bombers along with other equipment.

There’s no evidence of damage—all aircraft appear fully intact.

Ukrainian sources had officially claimed this base as another “successful strike,” but that claim is false.

As of now, the only airbase with confirmed significant losses remains Belaya in Irkutsk Region.

🇺🇸🇸🇾 Washington Backs Terrorist Merger into Syrian Army

Reuters reports that the U.S. administration has approved a Syrian government plan to integrate foreign militants into the ranks of a new Syrian army unit.

According to three officials from Syria’s Ministry of Defense, the plan will bring roughly 3,500 foreign fighters—primarily Uyghurs from China and neighboring countries—into the newly formed 84th Syrian Army Division, alongside Syrian personnel.

A representative of the Turkistan Islamic Party’s political wing, Osman Bugra, told Reuters in a written statement that the group has officially disbanded and is now integrated into Syria’s security apparatus.

The Turkistan Islamic Party was folded into the 84th Division about three weeks ago.

🐻 Notice the caption under the photo published by Reuters—they refer to HTS as a "rebel group."

🇺🇸🇨🇳 The Art Of The Deal Fold

🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Zhang Xiaogang, China's Ministry of Defense Spokesman:

For its own selfish interests, the US launches tariff wars and trade wars; forms 'small circles' and engages in bloc confrontation, causing deep concerns among countries; strengthens military deployments in the Asia-Pacific, rudely interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, and stirs up tensions.

Facts have repeatedly shown that the US, by going against the trend and acting willfully, will ultimately harm itself.

The Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair, and the US has no right to make irresponsible remarks, let alone attempt to use it as a bargaining chip to contain China.

The Chinese Army will resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity and firmly crush any Taiwan independence separatist plots and any external interference

The US, fearing no chaos in the South China Sea, forms cliques and stirs up trouble, posing the greatest threat to regional peace and stability.

China has always been a defender and builder of peace and development in the Asia-Pacific.

China will oppose hegemonism that harms the Asia-Pacific. China will prevent geopolitical conflicts from being introduced into the region. China will oppose any country or force that creates trouble here.
