Clément Molin wrote that the Ukrainian army continued its advance on at least three fronts and, according to him, was still putting pressure on the Russian groupings Zapad and Vostok. He announced that he would discuss the situation on the front of Komar and Velika Novosilka the following day, in the context of this progression. He estimated that, despite its apparently secondary impact, this advance concerned the southern flank of the Azov grouping, which was defending Dobropilla, while the offensive at Lyman protected the northern flank of the Centre grouping, responsible for defending Sloviansk. According to him, if the Russian forces did not react, a large part of the gains from 2025 could be reversed, and the prospect of a push east of Zaporijjia compromised. #Ukraine #Conflit #Armée (translated)

Anna wrote that Trump achieved a "super deal" in Moscow by bypassing a law. A few hours later, a terminal caught fire in Rostov, through which Russia exports diesel and supplies its army. The law from 2022 does not stop Trump, she wrote; however, Kyiv has nevertheless ensured the supply lines of the Russian army. From a European perspective, this demonstrates more clearly what sanctions are still worth. Anna estimated the capacity of the terminal at around 2.5 million tons per year. The governor confirmed the fire, but the general staff has not yet done so. #UkrainianConflict #Sanktionen #Trump (translated)

Jean-Pierre LIHAU accused an unnamed person of treason and acting as an enemy agent amid the aggression against the nation. He stated that after 18 years in power, this person would seek to repeat their "exploits" of 1997 with Rwandan allies. LIHAU claimed that the Rwandans overthrew J.D. Mobutu in 1997 and placed one of their own at the head of the Congolese army. He also accused them of having assassinated LD Kabila in 2001 and having massacred millions of Congolese. He described the country that Félix Tshisekedi had inherited as infiltrated and destructured, with the M23, over 150 active armed groups, and a socio-economic situation that he termed catastrophic. LIHAU added that the Congolese were no longer fooled and would know how to take their responsibilities without giving in to intimidation. He asserted that the Republic was one and indivisible, that it would rise again, and that justice would catch up with its enemies. #RépubliqueDémocratiqueDuCongo #Justice #Politique (translated)
