If a Russian scientist brings undeclared frog embryos into the US and is threatened with deportation back to France, how is that relevant to this thread?
 
More footage of Russian FPV drones controlled via fiber optic cable. In this case, the FPV drone was supposedly planning to attack a Ukrainian CRARRV engineering vehicle. Judging by the video, the Ukrainian CRARRV had already been damaged. The video was filmed near the village of Zaoleshenka in the Kursk region of Russia. The CRARRV is a very rare vehicle. In 2023, the UK transferred 2 units to Ukraine. It is designed to evacuate Challenger 2 tanks. The CRARRV recovery vehicle was developed by Vickers Defence in 1985, based on the Challenger 1 tank hull. The ARV is equipped with two winches, a hydraulic crane, and a 7.62 machine gun. The ARV crew is up to five people.

An episode of the work of the Russian mobile medical group evacuating the wounded from the combat zone in Ukraine. The video was filmed near the contact line. The location of the shooting is not reported. The evacuation group uses an ATV and a homemade trailer. The group's work is quite dangerous, as there is a high risk of attack by Ukrainian drones. Drones have also affected the time it takes to evacuate the wounded for surgical care. It has increased threefold - to 14.5 hours.

The medical group takes the wounded, if necessary, assistance is provided directly along the way. The wounded can be encouraged and even force can be used to bring soldiers to their senses. According to doctors as of 2025, during active fighting in Ukraine, the absolute majority of wounds, 94.4% - are shrapnel and explosive. This data includes 75% of wounds from UAV attacks, 20% from artillery shelling and only 4% of wounds from small arms. These data can be applied to Ukrainian injury statistics, with the adjustment that the Russian army uses more bombs, missiles and artillery.

hmm...seems a bit desperate. Looks like he really grasps at straws, doesn't it? Every day a new demand or excuse to not get into serious ceasefire or even peace talks.

Ukraine seems to have invested heavily in fortifying behind Pokrovsk.

That being said the Ukrainians did fight out of a disastrous situation a couple of weeks ago. They pushed back and the threat of encirclement has been strongly reduced
Ummmm, the UN....

He´s just buying time. His demands canno be met because not materialized by territorial occupation but believes that an exhausted Ukraine can crack.

Overall I am hearing that the Russian advances are mostly over at this time.

they are both spent, I suspect Russia is actally more spent than Ukr. Meat costs, and it runs out. Ukr I suspect has stockpiled tanks, ammo etc. but cannot afford the human cost.

Putin was hoping Trump would somehow help him, which I dont actually think is happening. If I were Putin id be worried about what trump will do next.

You Sir are an optimist. We´ll see in the end but for the moment, Russia does´nt seem too pressured, especially if it gets sanctions on its oil and gas sales removed. An obstacle for Putin is that some sanctions are piloted by Europe..such as limitations on SWIFT payments.
