⚔️ Breakthrough on the bridgehead

Good news from the Kupiansk direction.

Russian forces have made notable progress in shrinking the Ukrainian bridgehead east of the Oskil.

- South of Pischane, a pocket from which the AFU launched counterattacks has been closed.
- Russian units have reached the outskirts of Novoosynove.
- In the Kurylivka area, the enemy has been pushed out of part of the settlement.
- Positions along the Hnylytsia River near Petropavlivka have been strengthened.

While fighting continues with small groups and the situation in some areas remains fluid, the overall trend is positive.

Russian infiltration groups are working effectively without exposing themselves.

Steady tactical gains.

[4/13/2026 3:57 AM] Military Summary: ✝️ The Easter truce is over, and Iskanders have rushed toward their targets. Sumy Oblast is the first to take the strikes.

Some surprisingly good news coming from Hungary's new prime minister-elect reported by the Military Summary channel:

[4/13/2026 8:45 AM] Military Summary: ‼️ The leader of the pro-European Tisza Party, Péter Magyar, stated that he supports Budapest’s refusal of the €90 billion EU loan for Ukraine.

He also noted that Hungary will continue purchasing oil from Russia.

Hungary also ❌ does not support Ukraine’s accelerated accession to the EU, Magyar said.

Overall — not bad, but Hungary no longer looks like an ally. He also added that Putin is waging a senseless war and expressed strong hope that he will eventually be forced to end the conflict.

Zelensky managed to flip between two realities in a single day. Yesterday, he was claiming: that’s it - no infantry needed, Ukrainian robots are taking positions on their own, the war is changing before our eyes.

Today, he’s already begging the EU - send back draft-age men immediately, because there aren’t enough people at the front.

There are no robots - Zelensky is simply lying.

Zelensky and Friedrich Merz have held a press conference yesterday in which Zelensky has brought up a specific topic: young Ukrainian men who live abroad. Zelensky said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces would like them to return as this is a matter of “fairness”. He has also stressed that he doesn’t want a “light” version of the EU membership or NATO membership. Zelensky stated that Ukraine needs a full membership, as nobody would appreciate a “light” version of the Ukrainian army. Saudi Arabia is pressing the US to end the blockade around the Strait of Hormuz, as they fear an escalation by Iran which chould respond by closing the Bab al-Mandeb, which is the main exit route for the Persian Gulf oil.

RUSSIA is Producing 60-70 Iskander Missiles Monthly as Launcher Fleet Expands!

Russia is now making about 60-70 Iskander-M ballistic missiles every month (roughly 700–800 per year). This is a big increase from earlier in the war, when production was much lower (around 5–40 per month in 2023–2024).

The missiles are now ~90% made with Russian-made parts, so Western sanctions have less impact than before.
Russia is also adding more Iskander launchers (the trucks that fire the missiles). This means they can launch bigger attacks at once (larger salvos) and keep up a high rate of strikes without quickly running out.

Rutte Wants $60B MORE for Ukraine — While Europe Faces Fuel Crisis & Decline​

Run Time 13 min
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has stated that Ukraine needs $60B in bilateral support from the NATO member states. He has also stressed that the $60B would be in addition to the EU’s 90b euro loan to Ukraine. Mark Rutte has also mentioned the fact that the PURL programme will continue to work throughout 2026. Europe is now experiencing a jet fuel crisis, with airlines forced to ground older aircraft which are less efficient and to cancel certain routes in Europe. The problem is the cost. Eurostat has published a report according to which Europe’s population is in decline and by the year 2100 there will be 50 million less Europeans. Ukraine’s intelligence has stressed that Russia is planning a major offensive in spring and summer aimed at capturing all of Donbas.

A mass shooting incident in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, has left at least eight people dead and ten others injured, according to preliminary reports. Authorities have confirmed that the suspect was killed during a police operation.

The incident unfolded when the attacker, believed to be originally from Russia and recently residing in Kyiv, opened fire in a public area before barricading himself inside a store. During the standoff, the suspect reportedly took hostages and fired at responding officers, injuring at least one police officer.

Special forces from the KORD unit of the National Police carried out a tactical raid on the location where the attacker was hiding. The operation ended with the suspect being neutralized.

Emergency services responded quickly, transporting the injured to nearby hospitals. The exact condition of the victims has not yet been fully disclosed.

Authorities have secured the area and launched a full investigation into the incident, including the motive behind the attack and the background of the suspect.

Officials are expected to release further details as the situation develops.

The Russian armed forces launched attacks on Ukrainian military positions in Ochakov

In the port area, our troops conducted a reconnaissance mission, during which they identified a deployment position at an old military base where enemy personnel had been stationed for several months. They felt so secure that they had even planted a vegetable garden and raised a piglet, as reported in "Diary of a Paratrooper":
It’s a shame about the piglet, of course…

We have already reached 10-year agreements with three key countries: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. We already have requests from 11 countries – the Middle East and the Gulf, plus we’re also gradually turning our attention to the Caucasus.

Within this Drone Deal, there will be at least 10 different agreements covering various categories of Ukrainian weapons exports. Co-production is planned – the construction of our production lines both in Ukraine and in other countries. New technologies that we are developing jointly with various countries, in which they are investing. There is also an agreement on annual funding for a specific amount, along with a fixed number of years.

Second: the European track. Work has already begun with Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands. Of course, we have good relations with the United Kingdom and France. I am confident that all of this will also be implemented there.

Sweden is preparing for a possible Russian operation to seize the island of Gotland, as Kremlin forces could occupy one of the Baltic Sea islands at short notice to test NATO unity amid statements from Trump, according to Sweden’s armed forces chief Michael Claesson in The Times. Gotland, known as NATO’s unsinkable aircraft carrier, is strategically located and could become a key base disrupting alliance operations in the Baltic if occupied.
