🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Russian army breaks through defenses, expanding bridgehead in Sumy region, — Ukrainian border service

In the Sumy direction, Russian troops are mainly operating in small assault groups, said State Border Guard Service spokesman Demchenko.

According to him, the Russian Federation is not using technology in this direction, but is operating with small assault groups in a small operational zone and is “suffering heavy losses.”

The goal, according to Demchenko, is to “transfer the combat zone to the territory of our country.”

🇺🇸 U.S. Puts 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Clerk in Charge of Counterterrorism Office

Donald Trump has appointed 22-year-old Thomas Fugate—whose only work experience was mowing lawns and working at a supermarket checkout—to lead the U.S. counterterrorism center.

Fugate graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio just a year ago. Now he's running the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3) at the Department of Homeland Security—an office responsible for “combating terrorism and hate-fueled violence.”

Before this, Fugate worked briefly as a “special assistant” in an immigration office. He took over CP3 after the previous director quit. No serious qualifications. No relevant experience.

A DHS official told ProPublica the appointment was “temporary,” allegedly due to Fugate’s “work ethic.” But it seems that Washington is now handing national security posts to interns.

🐻 Clearly, Fugate is well-equipped to root out terrorists—after all, before trimming hedges, he was a “Cross Functional Team Member” at an H-E-B supermarket in Austin. According to his LinkedIn, he heroically “performed various activities around every department of the store,” playing a vital role in keeping the produce stocked and the carts in line.

🇺🇦 Trump’s Silence Alarms Kiev: Ukrainian Official Sees Implicit Support for Russian Retaliation

After Donald Trump’s recent call with Vladimir Putin, Oleksandr Merezhko, head of the Ukrainian parliament’s foreign affairs committee, voiced concern on CNN that Trump made no attempt to dissuade Russia from striking back following attacks on its strategic bombers.

“President Trump didn’t say anything like: ‘Vladimir, stop.’ And that’s very troubling, because it might seem that he’s giving a green light to this new crime that Putin is trying to commit,” Merezhko said.
