🇺🇦 Ukraine: Zelensky dismisses Head of Sumy Regional Military Administration

Earlier, journalists and local officials claimed that it was Volodymyr Artyukh who organized the award ceremony for soldiers of the 117th Brigade in Sumy, which was later targeted by the occupiers.

According to Suspilne, yesterday Artyukh “effectively confirmed” in a comment that the ceremony for honoring soldiers in Sumy took place before the strike on April 13, but stated that he was not the initiator of the event.

The decision to dismiss him has already been approved by the Cabinet of Ministers.

🇻🇪🇪🇨 - Maduro says massive fraud in Ecuador.

🇹🇷 - Called it as soon as Damascus fell: going after Assad completely exposed Erdogan's expansionism, and from there trenches are being built to contain the expansion before it hurts Western interests.

Disclaimer :

I’m not a pro Israel Zionist or anti Iran but as a former military man I cannot stand stupid military decisions.

This attack was bullshit and the Pro Iranian axis should wake up and stop transforming everything into a victory.

Because when I see how much this operation is praised well… sure it’s ballsy to attack Israel I recognize it but this wasn’t Pearl Harbor or the Tokyo air raid for exemple.

🇫🇷 - Even with the current laws not asking for gender parity in municipal elections for villages under 1000 inhabitants, you still have some villages rushing to produce an electoral list, therefore there is obviously a feasability issue with the idea of progressing too fast towards gender parity, and the spectrum of Paris seizing control of small villages in the name of progress might cause systemic stress.

Admin opinion :

You might have seen it before but 1 year ago something happen, Operation true promise 1 or when Iran bombed Israel for the first time.

Now that a full year has passed I can safely say that this operation clearly didn’t reach the expected result or any result at all.

Let’s backtrack , on the 1st of April 2024 Israel bombed the Iranian consulate in Damascus resulting in casualties among Iranian official including an IRGC Quds force general named Mohammad Rahimi

Obviously this is a massive casus belli since embassy are considered foreign territory so it’s was like if Israel had bombed Iranian territory and Iran was indeed legitimate in striking back.

So after 2 weeks of Iranian threat and declarations allowing Israeli western ally time to deploy AD and countermeasure Iran decided to strike, by launching slow ass suicide drone… and then ballistic missile hours later.

Obviously most of the attack was intercepted and the rest landed in empty spot the desert.

As for human casualties Israel didn’t suffer any ( maybe one wounded but I do not remember tbh )

Now it’s obvious Iran was trapped, you cannot not respond to this since it’s way too serious but a real Iranian attack would have resulted in a hot war between Iran and Israel ( and the US obviously) so they did this mascarade of an attack to get rid of the issue.

Basically it was a "I am shooting in the air be careful not to receive the bullet in your head while it’s going down" type of response.

However you have to take this on the greater context, the one of Iranian red line being crossed continuously.

Iranian deterrence was already severely damaged by the assassination of Soleimani and the Iranian response to it was a similar one to True promise, an attack on a US base that didn’t resulted in any casualties so obviously since it didn’t stop Israel from crossing Iranian red line it was obvious that Iran shouldn’t have done a save facing attack a second time but instead should have done something more meaningful.

For example instead of attacking Israel Iran could have started the process of building a nuke as a response or could have instructed Hezbollah to be more involved and even launched ground attack.

So now the aftermath, well Operation True Promise 2 happened so it’s safe to assume the first operation didn’t impose any deterrence but I will talk about it when its OTP 2 anniversary arrive.

Overall the attack was more of an Iranian humiliation, 1 years later and :

- Israel is still in Gaza;

- Hezbollah is defeated and Nasrallah is dead;

- Assad is gone and Syria fell to rebels;

- Yemen is now being bombed and the Arab coalition will resume ground offensive;

- Iranian president Raisi was killed in an helicopter crash that was an obvious assassination and since he was supposed to be the next supreme leader well now Iran will have a succession crisis to deal with ( if the Islamic republic still exist );

- Iran is negotiating its nuclear program despite Khamenei constantly rejecting it and calling the US untrustworthy;

So this was my opinion and an overall summary, as you can see this operation was a failure.

🇫🇷 - France is studying a bill that would see the central state seize control of villages under 1000 inhabitants that fail to produce an electoral list that doesn't respect parity.

Assad didn't need to do any provocations: there was a slight opportunity and the Turks went straight to Damascus. Same with Stepenakert.

Brussels is just... being Brussels.

Apart from that, there's not much to say about Bosnia, Srpska and Dodik.

We have reached the limit between pacifist and violent solutions. On the legal front, it's a dead end, and the High Representative has been keeping a low profile in recent weeks. The EU can't even coordinate to impose sanctions, and Dodik continues to travel abroad. On the military front, EUFOR does not seem to be intervening. Interpol refused to get involved.

As I predicted, Sarajevo quickly lost confidence in the EU's ability to help. Entire columns of trucks and armed vehicles have crossed the continent to arrive in Bosnia, with thousands of soldiers in all, helicopters and planes for probably nothing. Apart from sending a very bad signal to a country that has just been granted candidate status for EU membership, this inaction is bound to backfire.

US-sponsored conferences, assessments and reports were circulated on "Russia's growing influence in the Western Balkans" or "How ethnic tensions could be rising again". Bosnian politicians went from declaring that they didn't want to ask EUFOR to intervene because it wasn't its job, to sending letters to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, imploring him to act. EU diplomats essentially told Bosnia to clean up the mess itself.

The situation is therefore the same as it was at the start of this chapter a month ago: deadlocked. However, what is sure, is that Dodik proved that he can take strong measures without much consequences.

🇧🇦 - There are growing reports of frustration in Sarajevo over the lack of support from the EU and EUFOR in efforts to arrest Serb leader Milorad Dodik.

🇫🇷🇩🇿 - Macron's response to the situation with Algeria will be announced on Wednesday, according to sources close to the president.

🇷🇺❌🇺🇦❗️ — Ukrainian media reports a new Russian missile strike against Sumy, Northern Ukraine!

🇱🇧🇸🇾 - Lebanese President Joseph Aoun says the government is actively working to facilitate the return of Syrian refugees to their homeland.

🇫🇷 - Just a general reflexion about France, that was inspired to me by the recent ban on Le Pen running for president but goes larger than that.

Let's face it: France's diplomatic standing is decreasing. The pope didn't attend Notre Dame de Paris' reopening. Other countries don't take Paris seriously, may it be on Africa or other issues.

The "official version" for the explanation would be something along the lines of "Well, Paris has a decreasing economic power, underinvested in its military, therefore..."

My gut feeling would be something that is more complicated to understand, but feels like the true plausible explanation: other countries feel that France is entering a systemic governance crisis, with "episodes"/ events possibly happening with little or no notice. Remember Nahel? There was a shooting, and 72h later it was already worse than 2005. The yellow vests? There was a few Facebook posts, a few weeks later they were 200 meters from the palace. Crépol? Little to no warning for an event that, let's face it, spooked many of the serious international observers.

Therefore, I think they could be waiting for the situation in France to normalize, plausibly after the 2027 election if everything goes right, to see if they can increase diplomatic engagement with Paris, or if governance continues to be the source of questionning.

Admin opinion :

1/ It might sound immoral (and it is in some way) but ceremony or parade are great military targets, mass concentration of soldiers AND officers standing by not moving a muscle.

In Yemen and Libya it caused mass casualties and psychological, and in Sudan the RSF almost killed president Al-bhuran while doing in parade in Port Sudan

So yeah doing a ceremony even inside a building isn’t the smartest thing to do especially if you are near the border of your enemy.

2/ I do not recall the Russian nor Ukrainian forces ever targeting military ceremonies or parade before, I could be wrong though but in any case the Ukrainian could eventually use this event to justify a similar action.

Obviously I don’t think the UA would target the 9 of May Victory parade in Moscow due to foreign leader being present or the symbolism and effect it could have ( but honestly after the previous HIMARS strike + Kursk you never know tbh )

For me the UA will likely double down on its attack on Russian soil targeting military base, training center more actively.

Ukraine can strike deep thx to their drone so it’s obviously not impossible to achieve they just need good intelligence on where and when to strike.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 - The russian army reportedly targeted a military ceremony being held in Sumy, Ukraine with two Iskander missiles.

The attack resulted in over 20 casualties so far, among them civilians.

🇷🇺 Demand for truck drivers in Russia collapses due to freight carrier bankruptcies

In March of this year, the number of job openings for category B, C, and E drivers (passenger cars, trucks, and vehicles with trailers) in Russia dropped by nearly 87.5% year-on-year, a representative of one of the country’s major logistics companies told Forbes on condition of anonymity.

The job platform Zarplata.ru provides slightly more optimistic figures. As of March 2025, demand for category C and E drivers fell by 47% year-on-year. The number of unfilled vacancies for category C drivers decreased by 42%, and by 53% for category E drivers, according to the platform’s data.

Maria Martynova, Executive Director of Courier Service Express, confirmed that the number of vacancies for category B and C drivers has decreased for the first time in the past two years.

Meanwhile, some freight companies have also reduced the wages of driver-forwarders, noted Delko Group CEO Sandzhar Ashuraliev.
