The expectation in Israel is that Hamas wants to advance the release of the hostages in order to complete it by the time US President Donald Trump arrives in Israel. Israel is prepared to jump in if Hamas wants to advance the releases today or overnight, but there is no exact date yet.

Since summer, the United States has been helping Ukraine carry out deep strikes inside Russia, targeting key energy infrastructure, including oil refineries, according to the FT.

Kyiv selected the targets, while Washington provided intelligence on their vulnerabilities.

11/ The violent reaction of the deserters is unsurprising. The standard punishment for going AWOL is to be assigned to a stormtrooper squad and sent to assault a Ukrainian position. This has an extremely high probability of death; few stormtroopers survive long. /end

7/ He says that many of the soldiers refuse to follow orders and abandon their positions without permission out of fear of death:

"The guys simply can't go any further. Today, I sent a group of six people, and only three returned."

His deputy commander had threatened: "If you don't get up and go now, I'll declare you AWOL." (False accusations of desertion have become a routine form of punishment, as being declared a deserter cuts off a soldier's pay.)

1/ Russian commanders have falsely declared potentially thousands of missing and dead soldiers to be deserters, as well as using such declarations for extortion. Relatives say they are being deprived of compensation payments and accuse commanders of concealing their losses. ⬇️

🤬Unable to hold territory, Russian forces are now destroying it. In Sumy region, the 119th Airborne Regiment is deliberately leveling the village of Yunakivka. Sources report that its commander personally ordered strikes on civilian infrastructure.

1) Russia doesn't tend to its wounded very often.

2) Missing are zeroed soldiers they left to rot on the battlefield.

3) Zeroed are the obvious ones.

4) You can basically add all the columns together and say they were zeroed and 2025 isn't over yet.
