Russia has significantly depleted its extensive stockpiles of Soviet-era weaponry since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with the flow of military goods from storage facilities to the front lines now returning to pre-2022 levels, according to a new analysis of logistics data by the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) Institute.

According to the KSE Institute's findings, shipments originating near Russia's primary storage fields are projected to fall from a peak of 242,000 tons in 2022 to 119,000 tons in 2025. “Russia is now sending less materiel for refurbishment and repair than we know the repair stations can handle. The better quality and easily-restored equipment would have been the first to be moved,” Pavlo Shkurenko, an analyst at the KSE Institute, told the Financial Times (FT).

Since 2022, Russia has actively sought to refit mothballed equipment for deployment to the front lines. This includes a large number of T-72 and T-80 tanks, originally produced in the 1970s, which have been observed in Ukraine. Even some T-54 tanks, which began production in the late 1940s, have reportedly seen combat.

Some military analysts, however, advise against interpreting the reduced front-line deliveries of armored vehicles as a definitive sign that Russian forces are “losing combat effectiveness,” according to FT. These experts point out that Russia's battlefield tactics have adapted to employ fewer such vehicles, and additionally, they observe that “the Russian armed forces are also spending heavily to build up new stocks.”

The KSE analysis also points to Russia's increasing reliance on its Asian allies as its domestic resources have dwindled. Russia's defense industry now depends on supplies from China, while its military receives the majority of its ammunition from North Korea. By weight, approximately 52 percent of shipments labeled as “explosive materials” to Russia's arsenals in 2024 originated from Nakhodka, a port region on the Sea of Japan used by North Korea. Shipments from this area surged from 0 prior to the war to 250,000 tonnes by 2024. The KSE’s analysis aligns with the assessment of Kyrylo Budanov, Ukraine's military intelligence chief, who said this month that North Korea supplied 40% of Russia's ammunition. Additionally, Russia plans to spend around $1.1 trillion on rearmament over the next 11 years in preparation for a potential large-scale war, according to Budanov.

A South Korean intelligence assessment similarly suggested North Korea had sent 28,000 containers to Russia, and Pyongyang is also known to have provided ballistic missiles, howitzers, and even troops to Russia. The KSE analysis additionally identified around 13,000 tons of explosive material likely sourced from Iran, based on their entry points into the logistics chain near the Caspian Sea.

Ukraine urgently needs the United States and Europe to supply more air defense systems and missiles, as well as to reconsider the ban on Ukrainian strikes against military targets deep inside Russia.

More medium- and long-range missiles, including American ATACMS and German Taurus systems, would allow Kyiv, provided restrictions on their use were lifted, to slow down Russian weapons production by targeting infrastructure that manufactures missiles and drones

I think America and European politicians and diplomats fear the consequences of an all-out Ukrainian victory, and this plays right into Putin's hand.

Ukrainians are going to have to use espionage and sabotage to strike targets deep inside Russia.

 ////00000////

If America could conclude a stunning victory in the Vietnam War, with both hands tied behind its back, Ukraine should be able to do the same.

I heard DJT on the news today say that he was shortening his warning to Putin and will impose sanctions and increase arms shipments to Ukraine. Do I think Putin will care. No, I don't. But perhaps this means that he has figured out that Vlad ain't his good bud. Or anybody elses.

Occupation authorities in the Azov region (including Mariupol, Berdiansk, and Prymorsk) have received orders to allocate land plots for “SMO veterans.”

At the same time, Russian recruiting platforms began advertising a new bonus: the chance to receive a land plot for signing a contract. Now the occupiers are offering not just money and stolen Ukrainian apartments, but Ukrainian land as well.

A textbook example of post-industrial colonialism by a neo-fascist empire.

On July 28, Ukraine is marking the Day of Remembrance for those who died in captivity, were tortured, or executed by Russian occupation forces — for the first time.

On the night of July 28–29, 2022, Russian troops blew up a prison in occupied Olenivka where Ukrainian prisoners of war were held — including defenders of Azovstal. More than 50 were killed, and around 130 others were injured.

The Azov Regiment emphasized that the attack was deliberate — the POWs were intentionally gathered in one room before the explosion. They are calling for an international investigation and stress that this day is not only about mourning, but also about the duty to fight for every captive.

This is not an isolated crime. Russia continues to abuse prisoners of war: torture, disappearances, humiliation, beatings, starvation, and psychological pressure on families — all of this is still happening today.

Hackers attack Russia’s largest state airline, disrupting dozens of flights. They sign off “Glory to Ukraine! Long live Belarus!”

The hackers claimed year-long access to Russia’s flagship airline before destroying infrastructure, telling Russian security services “you are incapable of protecting even your key infrastructures.”

Vira Kravchuk  |  28/07/2025



Around 50 flights to destinations including Minsk, Yerevan, and St. Petersburg were canceled as hackers claiming to support Ukrainian and Belarusian freedom systematically destroyed Russian Aeroflot’s computer networks.

Pro-Ukrainian hackers launched a devastating cyberattack against Aeroflot, Russia’s government-owned flagship airline, canceling 50 flights and leaving hundreds of passengers stranded at Moscow airports on 28 July.

Two hacker groups claimed responsibility for a cyberattack that allegedly destroyed the carrier’s internal IT infrastructure.

The flight disruptions affected routes from Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport to destinations including Minsk, Yerevan, Yekaterinburg, Kaliningrad, and St. Petersburg.

Hundreds of passengers stuck at Moscow airport

Chaos erupted at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport as hundreds of frustrated Aeroflot passengers found themselves trapped in a digital nightmare. After waiting hours for flights that would never depart, travelers discovered they couldn’t even leave the airport easily—bottlenecks formed at exit passages, forcing people to stand in line just to get out of the building.

Traffic jams clogged roads outside as passengers abandoned their travel plans en masse, with many unable to secure refunds since the airline’s systems were down and only call centers could process requests.  .  .

We are preparing for war, Lithuanian diplomat Pavilionis says

Sofia Polonska  |  28 July, 2025  |  17:51

Lithuania is preparing for war with Russia and is learning from Ukraine, and Ukrainians are the best teachers in this


This opinion was expressed by the head of the United4Ukraine organization, deputy chairman of the Lithuanian Foreign Affairs Committee, Žygimantas Pavilionis, on the air of Espreso.

"Yes, we are preparing for war. And I think that the mood in the Nordic countries, in the Baltics, in Poland, even in Germany, is actually a mood of general preparation for war. We are learning from the Ukrainians how to do this, because you are the best teachers here. But, of course, it all depends on how much time we have. If we cannot protect you, this war will happen in a year or two. If we can protect you, if you become part of NATO, the aggression will stop. Europe will be free.

And I remember that someone once told me in Washington that Kyiv will be the capital of Europe, the capital of the European Union. And I believe in this, because you, in fact, personify this European network. I represent the Catholic part of the European Union. You have both Catholics and Orthodox, but all this, in fact, is building such a common Europe, and you are the incarnation of such a European Union. Because Russia does not represent, does not reflect the European Union. Russia is trying to destroy Europe, the European Union, and that is why we must create such a peace. And our future is your future. The future of Ukraine is the future of Europe," he stressed.

Žygimantas Pavilionis spoke about how Lithuania is preparing for a possible Russian invasion. In particular, he noted the significant financing of defense spending.

"First of all, we are such champions in defense financing, this year we will reach 5% of defense spending, and we are rising, we are increasing this amount. We are preparing for everyone to join the army, for everyone to undergo training, education. We are rebuilding our defense sector together with Ukrainians, with Germans, with Americans. We have built, are building military factories in Lithuania. We also have a German brigade.  .  .  .

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, July 28, 2025

Excerpts:

US President Donald Trump announced a new deadline for Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to Russia's war against Ukraine no later than August 9. Trump stated on July 28 that he is “very disappointed” with Putin and will “reduce” his previously articulated 50-day deadline by which Putin must agree to peace negotiations.

Trump stated that he will make a new deadline of roughly “10 to 12 days from today [July 28]” as Putin's ongoing disinterest in peace negotiations leaves “no reason” for the United States to delay its response. Trump insinuated that he will more formally announce the new deadline on the evening of July 28 or on July 29. Trump's new deadline would expire between August 7 and 9. Trump previously stated on July 14 that Putin had 50 days (September 2) to conclude a peace agreement with Ukraine or face “severe” 100 percent secondary tariffs on its trade partners.

Kremlin officials continue to frame Russia as in direct geopolitical confrontation with the West in order to generate domestic support for the war in Ukraine and future Russian aggression against NATO ...

Lavrov additionally claimed that Russia had “no alternative” to launching its war in Ukraine as Russia needed to protect Russian-language speakers in Ukraine, a routine narrative that Russian officials use to justify Russian aggression against Ukraine ... Putin is unlikely to make any concessions in his war aims unless he is forced to do so by significant Ukrainian battlefield victories, as any negotiated end to the war that does not achieve all of Putin's objectives would call into question the success, and, potentially, wisdom of Russia's military campaign in Ukraine.

Kremlin snuffbox/Кремлевская табакерка:

Let's briefly talk about the Aeroflot hack

The cyberattack on Aeroflot [ https://t.me/bbbreaking/211871 ] was very painful and showed that even seemingly well-protected data and entire systems can be under attack. Let the experts sort out the causes and consequences. Off the record, interlocutors from the Ministry of Digital Development believe that hackers really were inside the system for a long time and studied the database architecture. In any case, this is the scale of the consequences.

Why did no one notice the intrusion into the system? This needs not only to be sorted out, but also the guilty parties to be severely punished. Dozens of flights have been cancelled in the middle of the tourist season, and it is not entirely clear how long this will continue.

What is definitely worth paying attention to: the current head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Maksut Shadayev, began his career in YUKOS companies. Moreover, at one time, Shadayev worked in the IBS Group holding of Anatoly Karachinsky. The co-founder of IBS and close business partner of Karachinsky, Sergei Matsotsky, was arrested in absentia a week ago, and put on the international wanted list.

Isn't it time for the competent authorities to take a closer look at the activities of Shadayev and his entourage? Or rather, their inaction, which costs our country a large sum. And how many more such threats remain unnoticed - only God knows.

Kremlin snuffbox/Кремлевская табакерка:

3 Important Points About Talking with Trump

The US President said he was no longer interested in talking to Vladimir Putin on the phone. The Kremlin took these words calmly, noting that they were "expected."

"Negotiations with the Americans have reached a dead end. Trump wants everything to stop. But there are no prerequisites for this," a source in the Kremlin explained.

The interlocutor noted three points that are worth paying attention to:

Firstly, Kirill Dmitriev's attempts have failed. Dmitriev himself is losing influence very quickly [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/5833 ].

Secondly, closeness with China is now more important than any compromises with the United States. This also concerns the Arctic, which has been the subject of so much talk lately.

Thirdly, the hawks in the President's inner circle are convincing him that Trump is a temporary phenomenon, so it is not worth negotiating with him.

There is no information yet about the negotiations in Turkey. All sources without exception note that the main ones will be the negotiations between the leaders of the Russian Federation and China in September. If it is possible to agree with Trump on his participation, it will be great, but there are no guarantees yet [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/5962 ].

Situation in Sumy Oblast is tough. Gerasimov is silent

The situation in Sumy Oblast remains difficult. Interlocutors in the troops note that despite the loss of control over Kondratovka [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/5974 ], reserves were not added there. And those units that were directly on the front line suffered serious losses.

"The artillery suffered greatly. We lost a lot of infantry and assault troops. Because we were advancing, no one prepared fortifications. Now we are suffering," the source said.

Another source noted that the Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov has not commented on what is happening. But it was the General Staff that was supposed to analyze the situation and intelligence data before the enemy troops advanced.

How do you stop a Russian assault on a strategic city? By applying tactics older than Christianity.

Russian commanders have spent two years trying to capture Lyman in Ukraine's east, launching wave after wave of attacks across a river. With severe armor shortages forcing them to rely on motorcycle and ATV assaults, they thought speed and mobility would finally break Ukrainian defenses.

Ukraine, however, had different plans and turned to ancient Roman warfare — scattering caltrops via drones across Russian assault routes. These metal spikes, designed with points facing all directions, work exactly like they did against barbarian cavalry millennia ago.

The results are devastating. Russian motorcycle riders hit the hidden spikes, get thrown from their bikes, and find themselves exposed in open terrain under the watchful gaze of Ukrainian artillery and drones. The kill ratio speaks for itself: 66 Russian casualties for every Ukrainian loss.

But Kyiv's strategy goes deeper. When Russian units temporarily seize forward positions, Ukrainian forces immediately launch drone counterattacks — thanks to Russia's poor use of thermal cloaks, making them even more visible.

Savchenko Volodymyr
@SavchenkoReview
👀❗️ FT: Russia is running out of Soviet weapons, with North Korea filling the gap.

According to the Kyiv School of Economics, supplies from Russian military depots to the front have almost halved since 2022, showing that old stockpiles are running low. Even tanks from the 1940s are now being used.

Amid shortages, Russia is relying more on external suppliers, mainly North Korea. In 2024, over half of the cargo marked as “explosives” in Russian arsenals came from the North Korean port of Nakhodka. Pyongyang is also sending missiles, howitzers and troops.

Analysts say Russia uses North Korean ammunition to maintain shelling intensity while saving its own higher-quality shells, possibly for a future conflict with NATO.

China and Iran have also become key suppliers of components and explosives for the Russian defense industry.

Ukrainian forces are methodically crippling the Russian rail network infrastructure in the Rostov and Volgograd regions. In the past two days three strikes in the Russian towns of Salsk, Orlovskii and Oktyabrsky with devastating results have been observed.

After asking uncomfortable economic questions like that, Solovyev better stay away from windows in tall buildings.

Anyway, I just stumbled upon this wild video from New Year's 2013 when then-comedian Volodymyr Zelensky was on stage performing on Russian State TV with Solovyev dancing in the audience and cheering him on...how surreal is THAT?

Tsunami updates live: Central and South American authorities order evacuations; volcano in Russia starts erupting after earthquake off Russian coast

This massive quake triggered a volcano that is some 200 miles northeast of the naval and air bases at Petropavlovsk. Air traffic will certainly be impacted by airborne volcanic debris.

The base is in the immediate vicinity of the quake and it certainly received damage from the four meter (13/14 feet) tsunami that rolled in within about fifteen minutes of the temblor.

The Russians, of course, deny that any damage occurred. IMHO that's patently impossible that no damage took place when the sea rose 13-14 feet.

It is entirely expected that several Russian navy ships will be damaged or destroyed by the tsunami.

A list of assets currently stationed at the base:


Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky (aka Vilyuchinsk) naval base
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Kamchatka Krai
