Ukrainian Losses Mount As Zarya Falls To Russia; Zelensky Says 'Situation Is Difficult'
Russian forces have reportedly taken full control of Zarya settlement in Donetsk, raising the national flag after what Moscow called a meek Ukrainian surrender. Backed by heavy artillery and airstrikes, the Yug battlegroup inflicted massive casualties, with Russia's Defense Ministry claiming over 1,200 Ukrainian troops were eliminated. Additional targets, including electronic warfare stations and ammunition depots, were destroyed during the offensive. Russia's Tsentr battlegroup also pushed west into the Dnipropetrovsk region, intensifying its broader campaign across eastern Ukraine.#ukrainewar #RussiaUkraineConflict #EasternUkraine #donetsk #Zarya

‘Elon made mistake, he's stressed': Elon Musk's father breaks silence on his son and Trump's feud
The recent feud between Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump was led by 'a lot of stress for five months' on both sides and the Tesla CEO 'made a mistake' by publicly challenging Trump, Errol Musk, father of Elon, told Russian media in Moscow, Reuters reported. 'You know they have been under a lot of stress for five months - you know - give them a break. They are very tired and stressed so you can expect something like this,' Errol informed the Izvestia newspaper during a visit to the Russian capital. He added, 'Trump will prevail - he's the president, he was elected as the president. So, you know, Elon made a mistake, I think. But he is tired, he is stressed.' Errol indicated the row "was just a small thing" and would "be over tomorrow." Trump on Saturday stated his relationship with billionaire donor Musk was finished and cautioned there would be "serious consequences" if Musk chose to fund US Democrats running against Republicans who vote for the tax and spending bill. Musk bankrolled a huge part of Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. Trump had named Musk to lead a controversial effort to downsize the federal workforce and cut spending. Elon Musk reshared US President Donald Trump's Truth Social post attacking California leaders for the ongoing LA riots. In the post, Trump slammed California Governor Gavin Newsom, mockingly calling him as "Newscum", and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for not handling the situation in Los Angeles. He asked them to apologise to the people for doing a terrible work. 'Governor Gavin Newscum and Mayor Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they have done, and this now includes the ongoing LA riots. These are not protesters; they are troublemakers and insurrectionists. Remember, No Masks!' the post stated. On Sunday, Los Angeles experienced intense clashes between security forces and protesters after Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops, the first such deployment since the 1992 LA riots. He invoked a special federal law, known as Title 10, which allows the president to assume control over National Guard troops. Newsom hit out at Trump for 'unlawfully' deploying the National Guard, saying it was the responsibility of the state governor. He described it a serious violation of California's rights. 'We didn't have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty - inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they're actually needed,' he said. He also urged Trump to revoke the order and return control of the National Guard back to California. (With inputs from Reuters)

Ukrainian drones force suspension of Russian electronics factory
A damaged drone falls from the sky towards the wet ground near a large electronics factory emitting steam. Work at an electronics factory in Russia's Chuvashia region, some 600 kilometres east of Moscow, was briefly suspended on Monday due to falling Ukrainian drones, local officials said. "This morning, Ukrainian attempts to use drones in Chuvashia were detected," regional governor Oleg Nikolayev wrote on Telegram, adding that there were no victims from the attack. Ukraine regularly launches drone attacks on Russia in response to aerial bombardments by Moscow, which began a full-scale offensive into Ukrainian territory more than three years ago. "Two drones fell on the territory of the VNIIR factory," said Nikolayev. The VNIIR facility is one of the main factories producing electronic components in Russia. A decision was taken to "temporarily suspend production to ensure the safety of employees", the governor added. Two drones fell into fields in the region without causing any danger to people, Nikolayev said. "The situation is entirely under control," he added. Russia's defence ministry said it intercepted 49 Ukrainian drones overnight. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Si vous voulez passer du temps sur votre ordinateur, ce jeu populaire est un must en 2025.

U.S. Down, Germany Up: Merz's War Stance Pushes Berlin To Top Of Russia's ‘Enemies List'
In a dramatic shift, a new Levada Center survey reveals that Russians now view Germany—not the United States—as their most unfriendly country. For the first time in 13 years, the US has dropped in Russia's enemy rankings, falling to fourth place. The rise in hostility toward Germany follows Chancellor Friedrich Merz's aggressive pro-Ukraine policies, including support for long-range missile strikes inside Russian territory. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused Berlin of direct war involvement and warned it is repeating its past wartime mistakes. Meanwhile, Russia continues to rank Belarus, China, and India as its closest allies, highlighting the country's shifting global alliances amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict.#russia #germany #unitedstates #putin #trump #ukraine Read More
