Russia Takes Three More Ukraine Villages, With World Focused On Iran War
As all eyes are on the emerging Israel-Iran aerial war, and as ballistic missiles fly over Middle East skies, Russian forces have made more gains in Eastern Ukraine.
"Russian forces took control of three new Ukrainian villages — Yablonovka in the northeastern Sumy region, and Koptevo and Komar in the eastern Donetsk region," the Russian Defense Ministry indicated Friday.

"The state TASS news agency cited the ministry as saying that Russian troops had captured six Ukrainian villages over the past week," Reuters also notes.
This also comes after earlier this month Russian forces expanded ground operations into a more central oblast, in an escalation and expanded offensive:
Russian forces have secured a small foothold in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region for the first time since the early weeks of the full-scale war in 2022, The New York Times reported Friday.

Will Russia's Military Build-Up Along The Finnish Border Likely Be The New Normal?
Authored by Andrew Korybko via Substack,
This is a predictable response to Finland's unnecessary and highly provocative decision to join NATO...
The New York Times (NYT) recently published an article about how “Russia Beefs Up Bases Near Finland's Border”, which relied on satellite imagery to reach that conclusion. Russia's northern military build-up is portrayed as ominous in their piece, with speculation abounding about its post-Ukraine plans among those who they interviewed. To their credit, the NYT's authors did reference Russia's perceptions about NATO expansion, but they didn't take them to their logical conclusion with regard to Finland.
No mention is made about how unnecessary its decision to join NATO was. Prior to that, Finland was already a so-called “shadow member” of NATO in the sense of having closely integrated with the bloc and practically obtained interoperability with its forces ...

US Is 'Major' Cause Of Ukraine War: Beijing Goes On Attack As Hegseth Tells Asia Allies China Threat Is 'Imminent'
China is pushing back hard against new Western criticisms of its foreign policy, as French President Emmanuel Macron and US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth went on the attack, hurling sharp criticisms at Beijing during the ongoing Shangri-La Dialogue security summit in Singapore, which noticeably China's Defense Minister Dong Jun chose to skip.
A fresh, strident Chinese denunciation was formulated at the United Nations in New York. Beijing typically is very careful with its Ukraine war statements, seeking to present itself as an outside, neutral and objective mediator, urging peace. But now Chinese officials are blistering angry over the ramped-up anti-China messaging coming from Washington and Europe. The rhetoric is clearly getting less restrained on all sides, as increasingly hot spots in Eastern Europe get closely linked to Asian flashpoints.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegset...

Ukraine's New Ceasefire Plan Calls For International Monitoring Of 'Land, Air & Sea' Truce
The Kremlin on Friday revealed that Russia's negotiating team for the next round of direct peace talks with Ukraine, scheduled for Monday in Istanbul, will remain unchanged, with Putin aide Vladimir Medinsky again leading the delegation. During the first talks, Russia's team was met with widespread skepticism - given how 'low level' it was, and it didn't so much as include Foreign Minister and veteran diplomat Sergei Lavrov.
Currently, the Zelensky government is threatening to boycott the Monday meeting, given that Moscow has reportedly yet to hand over a draft outline of its peace terms.

On the other side, The New York Times says of a memorandum that Ukraine's Defense Minister Rustem Umierov handed over to Russia contains provisions for an expansive ceasefire.
It's said to include a pause in fighting for land, air and sea...
