Ukraine Hits Two Refineries in One Night: Yaroslavl and Bashneft-Novoil
Suchomimus
Ukraine ramte i løbet af én nat to russiske olieraffinaderier med droneangreb. Yaroslavl-raffinaderiet, der har en kapacitet på 15 millioner tons olie om året og forsyner Moskva-regionen, blev ramt af flere droner og fik brande i forskellige dele af anlægget over 700 km fra Ukraine. Bashneft-Novoil-raffinaderiet i Bashkortostan, som producerer 7,1 millioner tons olie om året inklusive flybrændstof, blev også hårdt ramt næsten 1.500 km fra den ukrainske grænse, hvilket potentielt kan påvirke det russiske luftvåbens brændstofforsyning.

Wildberries in Tula Destroyed by Drones: HUGE Fire!
Suchomimus
A major Wildberries warehouse in the Tula region of Russia, one of the company's largest facilities at 150,000–194,000 square metres and employing 15,000 workers, was destroyed by a Ukrainian drone strike in a massive fire. The commentator notes this is the 14th Wildberries facility destroyed in approximately two weeks, with losses estimated at over a trillion rubles in inventory. Beyond the direct damage to Wildberries, the strikes are devastating thousands of small Russian businesses that rely on the platform for storage and delivery, similar to Amazon Marketplace. The video also notes that Wildberries has begun relocating warehouse construction to Kazakhstan, reflecting a lack of confidence in Russia's air defences.

Update from Ukraine | Wow! Russia Lost 2 Generals in Moscow! This is Total Madness
Denys Davydov
Two Russian generals — Lieutenant General Igor Yerusalimov and an unidentified major general — are reported to have been killed in an explosion at a Moscow restaurant during a birthday celebration, with Russia attempting to suppress information about the incident. Putin has simultaneously announced changes to the Russian military command structure, including the creation of a separate drone forces branch led by Denis Lamin, modeled on Ukraine's approach. On the battlefield, Russia suffered its highest monthly losses of the year in July (over 40,000 casualties), while Ukraine continued drone strikes on Russian territory, destroyed another Tu-95 bomber in Engels, and hit multiple military targets in occupied regions. Additional reported developments include a foiled Russian assassination plot against a German FPV drone manufacturer and an FPV drone found near a Ukrainian cargo aircraft in Leipzig.

Ukraine’s 40-Day Strike Campaign Is Over—Phase Two Has Already Begun
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) completed a 40-day strike campaign against Russia that began June 25th, conducting over 100 successful strikes on military-industrial targets, air defense systems, oil refineries, and shadow fleet vessels, with Zelensky now approving a new phase of operations proposed by SBU chief Vasyl Maliuk. On the defensive side, Ukraine faces a serious air defense crisis, with anti-ballistic missile intercept rates dropping from ~25% in 2025 to below 10%, compounded by Trump declining Zelensky's request for additional Patriot interceptors and North Korea deploying 120 ballistic missiles to Russia. Russia meanwhile reshuffled its military command structure and created a new unmanned systems forces branch, which analysts interpret as an admission that current arrangements are underperforming. Other notable developments include a car bombing that critically wounded a Russian drone factory head near Yekaterinburg, Lithuania agreeing to manufacture Ukrainian-designed drones, and the EU announcing a further €1.4 billion to Ukraine funded by frozen Russian assets.

Putin Branded a “Weak President”—By a Pro-War Russian Analyst
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
Den russiske militæranalytiker Maxim Kilmoff kalder Putin en "svag præsident", der er isoleret fra virkeligheden på grund af et system af systematiske løgne – en bemærkelsesværdig udtalelse i et land, hvor folk er blevet fængslet blot for at holde et blankt stykke papir op ved en protest. Kilmoff argumenterer for, at Putin enten bedrages af sine underordnede eller bevidst fremstiller en falsk facade, og at han er en svag leder, fordi han ikke fjerner inkompetente officerer. Videoen inddrager også et eksempel på, at benzinstationer i Krasnodar kunstigt sænkede priserne under Putins besøg og hævede dem igen bagefter – en "Potemkin-landsby"-effekt. Derudover omtales drabet på to russiske generaler under mystiske omstændigheder i forbindelse med en fødselsdagsfest for chefen for de russiske rumstyrker.

Laura Loomer Went to Ukraine—And Changed How MAGA Sees the War
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
Laura Loomer besøgte Ukraine i slutningen af juli 2026 og vendte hjem som erklæret tilhænger af landet, efter hun selv indrømmede at have været offer for russisk propaganda. Under besøget mødte hun bl.a. præsident Zelenskyj, Ukraines nye forsvarsminister (i dennes første interview), SBU's Alpha-elite-enhed og en overrabbiner, og hun besøgte en bombet kirke – oplevelser der punkterede centrale pro-russiske narrativer om uundgåelig russisk sejr, Putins forsvar af kristendommen og påstande om ukrainsk nazisme. Ifølge videoen har Loomers omvending haft en målbar effekt på MAGA-publikummet ved at skabe en "bane", hvor det er acceptabelt at støtte Ukraine, og hun har siden talt med Trump flere gange om sine nye synspunkter. Videoens vært betragter dette som et af hendes mest betydningsfulde bidrag, selv om han understreger, at det ikke har påvirket Trump-administrationen direkte.

Did a group of Ukrainians blow up Nord Stream?
Anders Puck Nielsen
A Ukrainian citizen has been charged in Germany over the 2022 Nord Stream explosions, and a new book claims a group of Ukrainians carried out the sabotage — but analyst Anders Puck Nielsen argues the case is far from solved. He points to several unexplained operational choices: the attackers chose an unnecessarily deep and difficult dive site that maximized publicity and international involvement, used an unsuitable sailing yacht, behaved conspicuously by flying a Ukrainian flag and visiting multiple harbors, and left forensic evidence behind — an odd combination of high-level diving skill and apparent amateurism. Nielsen also raises unanswered strategic questions, such as why Zelensky would risk alienating Germany over a pipeline already shut down by Russia, why the Ukrainian government hasn't silenced those allegedly involved, and why Germany itself showed virtually no political anger toward Ukraine afterward. He concludes that Western governments find it convenient for suspicion to point toward Kyiv rather than Russia, meaning any contradictory evidence is unlikely to be made public, and that journalists should press harder on these gaps before treating the Ukrainian-sabotage narrative as established fact.

NO POWER, NO WATER, NO FUTURE — CRIMEA'S ENGINEERED COLLAPSE || 2026
Warthog Defense
Crimea is experiencing a severe infrastructure collapse following more than 40 Ukrainian strikes on the peninsula's power grid since spring, including a major July 14 strike on the Balaklava thermal plant, which supplies roughly a third of Crimea's generating capacity. Residents are enduring stretches of as little as five hours of power over four-and-a-half days, water shortages, fuel prices soaring to black-market highs, and daily struggles with food spoilage and rationing. The video argues that Crimea's grid is structurally vulnerable due to its reliance on just two thermal plants and a single undersea cable from Russia, meaning repeated strikes leave no redundancy to absorb further damage. The broader conclusion drawn is that Ukraine's systematic targeting of occupation infrastructure is proving more effective at destabilizing Russian control over Crimea than years of diplomatic negotiations.

Ukraine's drone war is isolating Crimea
Anders Puck Nielsen
Ukraine's drone campaign is increasingly isolating Crimea and the southern front through three distinct layers of drone warfare: a "drone wall" of FPV drones along the front line, mid-range tactical strikes targeting logistics and command centers 20–150 km behind the front, and deep strategic strikes up to 2,000 km into Russia. The mid-range strikes have proven especially consequential in the south, where Ukraine has damaged the Kerch Bridge, knocked out ferry services, targeted ships in Mariupol and Berdyansk, and turned the M14 highway into what Russian commentators call a "highway of death" for supply trucks. As a result, Crimea — once a logistics hub — now itself depends on the vulnerable land corridor for supplies and is experiencing significant fuel shortages. While a Ukrainian offensive on Crimea remains speculative, the logistics lockdown strategy is visibly degrading Russia's ability to sustain its southern forces.

Ukrainian Drones Hit "Ro-Ro" Cargo Ship Near Novorossiysk
Suchomimus
A Ukrainian drone (likely an FPV type) struck a roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) cargo ship near Novorossiysk, hitting the bridge directly and destroying the superstructure. The ship, identified as the "One Cord," remains afloat but is likely out of action permanently, with visible listing suggesting the damage may be worse than initially apparent. The analyst speculates the vessel may have been targeted not as a shadow fleet ship but because Russia was potentially using or planning to use it as a makeshift ferry to supply Crimea, since most of Russia's dedicated ferry fleet has already been knocked out by Ukrainian strikes and the Kerch Bridge cannot handle heavy train traffic. The video ends with a thank-you message from a Ukrainian unmanned systems battalion to the channel's community for contributing over 60% of a fundraising goal for a vehicle for their unit.

Russia's Newest Corvette On Fire at Severnaya Verf Shipyard, St. Petersburg. Attack or Accident?
Suchomimus
En næsten færdigbygget russisk korvet på Severnaya Verf-skibsværftet i Skt. Petersborg er gået i brand, og det er endnu uklart, om det skyldes et ukrainsk angreb eller en ulykke. Skibet menes at tilhøre Steregushchiy-klassen (NATO-klassificeret som en fregat), som var planlagt til søsætning om få uger. Det ville potentielt være det andet skib af denne type, der ødelægges, efter et lignende angreb med ukrainske droner i juni samme år. Kanalen lover en opdatering, når flere oplysninger er tilgængelige.

UKRAINE BLOWS UP RUSSIA'S TOP DRONE BOSS — "UPYR" CREATOR FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE || 2026
Warthog Defense
Ukraine har angrebet hjertet af Ruslands droneprogram ved at sprænge en bil tilhørende Vladimir Tukachuk, generaldirektør for Uralzavad og skaberen bag Ruslands UPYR/Ghoul FPV-droner, nær Jekaterinburg – hans chauffør blev dræbt, mens Tukachuk selv er indlagt i kritisk tilstand. Angrebet kom fire dage efter en separat eksplosion på en Moskva-restaurant, der angiveligt dræbte en russisk rumfartskommandørs svigersøn. Derudover fremhæver videoen, at Ruslands samlede tab i juli nåede et rekordhøjt niveau på 42.860 soldater dræbt eller såret, mens russerne kun erobrede lidt over 30 kvadratkilometer ukrainsk territorium – svarende til 1.429 tab per kvadratkilometer.

Russia's Best Fighter Jet Crashed Near Moscow. Ukraine May Have Hacked the Air Defense
Wes O'Donnell
Den 23. juli styrtede et russisk SU-57-jagerfly ned nær Zvenigorod, cirka 40 km fra Moskva. Det russiske forsvarsministerium kaldte det en teknisk fejl, mens pro-russiske Telegram-kanaler pegede på venlig ild, men det ukrainske efterretningskollektiv InformNapalm fremsatte en mere opsigtsvækkende påstand: at Ukraine i ugerne forinden havde aflyttet træningsoptagelser fra en russisk luftforsvarsenhed kaldet Bars Moskva, kortlagt dens software og sårbarheder og derefter manipuleret systemet til at angribe sit eget fly. Defense Express, et respekteret ukrainsk forsvarstidsskrift, understreger, at der ingen offentlig bekræftelse er på et cyberangreb, og at den præcise mekanisme fortsat er uklar, men videoen argumenterer for, at påstanden er specifik nok til at tages alvorligt, da den illustrerer en ny og foruroligende sårbarhedskategori: at moderne luftforsvarssystemer kan manipuleres til at eliminere egne aktiver, uden at fjenden affyrer et eneste missil.

Attempt to Attack Ukrainian Transport Aircraft in Germany! Drone With Explosive
Suchomimus
En drone med sprængstoffer og en detonator blev opdaget parkeret ved siden af et ukrainsk transportfly i Leipzig/Halle lufthavn i Tyskland, hvilket udløste en nedlukning af lufthavnen. Under hændelsen kollidererede et afgående DHL-fragtfly i 400 meters højde med en anden drone og pådrog sig skader på fronten, men landede sikkert. Videoen konkluderer, at angrebet højst sandsynligt blev udført af russiske stedfortrædere, og betegner det som en enorm eskalering, da Leipzig/Halle er et vigtigt knudepunkt for forsyninger til Ukraine. Værten er skeptisk over for, om NATO og EU vil reagere med andet end fordømmende erklæringer.

It's Confirmed: Real Combat Footage Shows the German X-Wing Drone Flying Against Russia
Wes O'Donnell
Optagelser bekræftet af Ukraines 59. separate angrebsbrigade viser den tyske Helsing HX2-drone i reel kampbrug mod russiske mål. HX2 er en 12 kg tung, elektrisk drevet angrebsdrone med X-wing-form, der kan nå op til 220 km/t og har en rækkevidde på op til 100 km. Dronens AI er ikke autonom i traditionel forstand: en menneskelig operatør identificerer og låser målet, hvorefter AI'en kun overtager den terminale indflyvning – en løsning designet til at modstå russisk elektronisk krigsførelse og jamming i missionens afgørende slutfase. Systemet er udviklet og testet direkte i Ukraine frem for i et laboratorium, og ukrainske soldater beskriver en praktisk, jordnær hverdag med dronen, der på travle dage flyver fem-seks missioner næsten non-stop mod artilleri, kampvogne og selvkørende kanoner.

Ukrainian F-16 Air Ambush: Su-35s Never Saw It Coming
Wes O'Donnell
On July 8th, Ukraine shot down a Russian SU-35 using a coordinated three-aircraft ambush supported by a Patriot battery. One F-16 flew a low, predictable strike profile to lure the SU-35 into intercepting, while two concealed F-16s at higher altitude held firing solutions with AMRAAMs; a repositioned Patriot radar provided a shared targeting picture that cued the entire network. The tactic exploited Russia's own ingrained intercept habits, effectively neutralizing the SU-35's hardware advantages in radar range and missile reach by changing the geometry of the engagement rather than matching it head-on. Russian military bloggers, including the prominent "Fighter Bomber" channel, publicly acknowledged the ambush structure, confirming that Russia's best air superiority fighter was defeated by a trap built entirely around its pilot's predictability.

Ukraine Destroys Tor-M2 (Plus Failed Interception) & Multiple Radars in Krasnodar Krai
Suchomimus
Ukraine delte en samling videoer, der dokumenterer droneangreb i Ruslands Krasnodar-region, herunder et vellykket angreb med en FP-01-drone, der fuldstændig ødelagde et Tor-M2-luftforsvarssystem – efter at systemet først affyrede et SAM-missil, der komplet missede dronen. Derudover blev syv russiske radarsystemer ramt, herunder Nebo-W, Nebo-U og Nebo-WS (dele af Nebo-M-komplekset), en Gamma-S1M-luftovervågningsradar, Kasta-2E2 tidlige varslingsradarer samt en sjælden "376"-radar, der blev bekræftet beskadiget.Værten spekulerer i, om angrebene kan have fundet sted inden Ukraines nylige angreb på Ruslands skyggeflåde i Azovske Hav – som en bevidst strategi om først at blinde russiske radarer – eller om de er forberedelse til kommende droneoperationer.

Ukraine Turned $55,000 Recreational Planes Into a Strike Aircraft Squadron — and Hid It for Months
Wes O'Donnell
Ukraine secretly converted $55,000 French-designed Sky Ranger ultralight recreational aircraft into long-range strike bombers, replacing the cockpit with fuel tanks, remote controls, and electro-optical cameras, then arming them with Soviet-era OFAB 100-120 bombs. The program was only revealed on July 13th when a Ukrainian defense ministry advisor posted a photograph of at least 10 armed aircraft on a dirt airstrip — but bare trees in the background suggest the photo was taken months earlier, meaning the squadron had been quietly operating at scale without Russia's knowledge. The aircraft were used in a joint strike by Ukraine's Air Force, National Guard, and an unmanned systems center against a hardened underground Russian logistics facility near the Perekop isthmus connecting Crimea to Russian-controlled territory. The platform's civilian appearance, small radar cross-section, and low cost give Ukraine both a tactical ambiguity advantage and the ability to absorb losses and scale production in ways conventional military hardware cannot match.

Everyone's Talking About Ukraine's New Fighter Jets. That's Not the Real Story
Wes O'Donnell
Frankrig og Ukraine underskrev den 13. juli 2025 en forsvarsaftale, der ikke blot omfatter levering af 16 Rafale-jagerfly, men – langt vigtigere – giver Ukraine juridisk licens til selv at producere SCALP-krydsermissiler, AASM Hammer-styrede bomber og Aster 30-interceptorer på ukrainsk jord. Videoen argumenterer for, at det er denne licensering – og ikke flyene – der er den virkelige nyhed, fordi en licens overfører viden, produktionsrettigheder og industriel kapacitet, der ikke forsvinder ved politiske skift i Paris eller Washington. Frankrig og Italien fremskynder desuden leveringen af allerede aftalte Aster 30-missiler og støtter Ukraines eget Freya-interceptorprogram, hvilket samlet set positionerer Ukraine som en integreret del af Europas fremtidige luft- og missilforsvar frem for blot en modtager af vestlig militærhjælp.

Ukrainians react to Zelensky's military leadership shakeup
Kyiv Independent
Zelenskyj fyrede den øverstkommanderende og udnævnte en ny leder, og ukrainere på gaden reagerer generelt positivt på beslutningen. Mange beskriver skiftet som længe ventet og nødvendigt, og ser det som et tegn på, at præsidenten lytter til folkets vilje. Tidligere militærfolk og civile udtrykker håb om, at den nye kommandør vil indføre nødvendige reformer og bringe friske kræfter til hæren. Nogle er dog forsigtigt optimistiske og advarer om, at sådanne lederskifter under krig bør træffes med omhu, og at kun tiden vil vise, om forandringen bliver til det bedre.

Zelensky Reshuffled Personnel Again—But THIS Won’t Go Away
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
As of August 3rd, 2026 (day 40 of Zelensky's pressure campaign), Ukraine faces simultaneous domestic and military pressures: protests against Fedorov's dismissal have spread to over 20 cities for 19 consecutive days, while Zelensky reshuffles his cabinet — appointing Rustem Umarov as head of foreign intelligence — amid signs Russia has no genuine interest in peace negotiations. Ukraine's 40-day military pressure campaign has yielded significant strikes on Russian oil refineries, shadow fleet vessels, and warehouses, but Zelensky warns Putin is preparing fresh mobilization and new attacks, making an autumn ceasefire uncertain. On the geopolitical periphery, the video covers Russian-linked migration destabilization efforts in Europe, Russia's struggling Wagner-backed forces in Mali, the stalled Patriot missile manufacturing deal for Ukraine, and growing concerns about corruption and pay-to-play dynamics within the Trump administration.

North Korean TROOPS on Ukrainian border: INTEL issues warning!
UATV English
Ukraine is accelerating its EU and NATO integration efforts, with Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže visiting Odessa to discuss tightening sanctions on Russia, strengthening air defenses, and advancing Ukraine's accession negotiations, which could see all clusters opened as early as autumn. Meanwhile, Russia launched its first North Korean KN-23 ballistic missile attack since August 2025, killing five members of a large family in Roduzhni, near Kryvyi Rih. Ukrainian defense intelligence reports that Russia is seeking 30,000 additional North Korean troops, has received a new batch of 40 KN-23/KN-24 missiles, and plans to deploy a North Korean missile unit in the Voronezh region as part of the 112th missile brigade. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry has stated that any North Korean launchers deployed on Russian territory will be treated as legitimate military targets.

Get READY, Russians! Putin prepares MOBILIZATION "SURPRISE" right after the elections!
UATV English
Russia's upcoming State Duma elections, scheduled for September with voting spread over three days in a tightly controlled format, are taking place amid growing public anxiety over the war in Ukraine. Key concerns include fuel shortages caused by Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries, economic stagnation with GDP growth below 1% and rising inflation, and widespread fear of a new mobilization wave that could draft up to 500,000 people with little or no military experience. The Wall Street Journal and Ukraine's Center for Countering Disinformation both report that the Kremlin may announce forced mobilization immediately after the elections. Meanwhile, Russia continues to suffer massive frontline losses — reportedly around 30,000 soldiers per month — and Putin is attempting to share responsibility for the war with Duma deputies ahead of the vote.

Update from Ukraine | Big Ukraine Counterattack in Komar Direction | Mid Strikes Are Massive Again
Denys Davydov
Ukraine fortsætter modangrebet i Kamar-retningen, hvor kampen om landsbyen Zerka er i gang. Hvis Ukraine lykkes med at befri Zerka og krydse floden, kan det potentielt skabe et brohoved i området ved landsbyerne Jalta og Zaparisien. Analytikeren forventer dog generelt færre ukrainske modangreb fremover, da prioriteten under den nye generalkommandant er skiftet til forsvar for at undgå de enorme tab, som offensive operationer medfører i den nuværende dronekrig. Han kritiserer desuden vestlige lande for fortsat at handle med Rusland og undlade at indføre fulde sanktioner, mens ukrainske soldater betaler den reelle pris.

Update from Ukraine | Huge! One of the biggest Kabooms in Russia! Putin Made an important Statement
Denys Davydov
Ukraine has continued its drone campaign against Russian infrastructure, striking at least 13 Wildberries warehouses — including a large one in the Saratov region — as well as refineries in Saratov and Ufa, causing massive fires. A suspected Ukrainian intelligence operation targeted a birthday party for Russian Air Force General Alexander Chyko in Moscow, where a woman carrying a bomb was stopped at the door but detonated it, killing herself and a security guard, with the general's condition remaining unclear. Russia is reportedly preparing a potential false flag operation using captured Ukrainian FPV drones, with Poland already warned that Russia may launch these drones toward NATO countries. Meanwhile, Putin made no meaningful public response to the wave of strikes, instead releasing a routine congratulatory video for Russian Railways workers.

24 hours under glide bombs in Dobropillia
Kyiv Independent
The Kyiv Independent embeds with a Ukrainian National Guard FPV drone team defending Dobropillia, a city in Donetsk Oblast that has been devastated by an intense Russian glide bomb campaign over the past year. Reporters describe a level of destruction they say exceeds even that of nearly-surrounded Pokrovsk, with apartment buildings gutted, streets empty of civilians, and soldiers confined largely to shallow basements that offer little protection from direct hits. The team documents daily life under constant drone and glide bomb threat, including a supply crew forced to hide in roadside pits for hours to avoid Russian reconnaissance drones. In a postscript, the journalists reveal that the basement they stayed in was struck by a Russian glide bomb a week after their visit, killing crew member "Cock" and another soldier whose bodies could not be recovered due to the rubble.

Russia Strikes 155 Locations Across Ukraine as Moscow Claims 1,395 Troops Lost in 24 Hours
Times Now World
Rusland har lanceret en ny bølge af angreb mod 155 lokationer i Ukraine, herunder jernbaneinfrastruktur, brændstofdepoter og logistikcentre, med det formål at forstyrre Ukraines forsyningslinjer og evne til at flytte tropper og udstyr til frontlinjen. Det russiske forsvarsministerium offentliggjorde optagelser af droneangreb, der bl.a. ramte et jernbanelokomotiv i Kharkov-regionen samt ukrainske artillerisystemer, herunder en amerikansk leveret M777-haubits. Moskva hævder desuden, at ukrainske styrker har lidt tab på omkring 1.395 soldater i løbet af de seneste 24 timer, og at russiske luftforsvarssystemer har nedskudt over 155 ukrainske droner samt adskillige styrede bomber og raketter. Disse påstande stammer udelukkende fra det russiske forsvarsministerium og er ikke uafhængigt bekræftet.

RUSSIAN INFANTRY IS DOOMED: Occupiers struggle to SURVIVE in KHARKIV REGION BATTLES
UATV English
Ukraines væbnede styrker har gennemført et succesfuldt modangreb i Kharkiv-regionen i retning af Kupansk, og ifølge amerikanske analytikere er der ingen beviser for russisk fremrykning i denne sektor. Det russiske infanteri lider store tab, bl.a. fra ukrainske FPV-dronepiloter fra den 128. bjergangrebsbrigade, og ukrainske specialstyrker tog russiske soldater til fange uden et eneste skud. En russisk BM27-raketartillerisystem (MLRS) blev desuden ødelagt af ukrainske droneoperatører fra Nationalgarden efter en måneds efterretningsindsamling. Rusland fortsætter med at angribe ukrainske byer, herunder Kiev, med ballistiske missiler og droner, hvilket en ekspert betegner som en ny og mere intens fase af krigen rettet mod civil infrastruktur og befolkningens moral.

Russia Told Lithuania It's Coming. Lithuania Already Called Ukraine
Wes O'Donnell
Litauens præsident advarede den 15. juli om, at landets efterretningstjeneste har signaler om, at Rusland planlægger begrænsede kinetiske operationer rettet mod kritisk infrastruktur som energinet og transportsystemer – ikke en traditionel militær invasion. Ruslands foretrukne strategi er gråzoneoperationer: tvetydige sabotagehandlinger, droneaktivitet, migrantvåbenisering og cyberangreb, der er svære at tilskrive direkte og dermed udfordrer NATO's Artikel 5-mekanismer. Som svar underskrev Litauen to måneder tidligere en dronesamarbejdsaftale med Ukraine om samproduktion af langtrækkende angrebsdroner, mens Estland har fastslået, at umarkerede personer, der krydser grænsen, behandles som bevæbnede indtrængere. Videoens overordnede pointe er, at NATO i praksis allerede befinder sig i en gråzonekrig med Rusland, og at de baltiske lande vælger skarpe, forudgående svar frem for tøven.
