🗳 🇪🇺 📵 Chat Control has been approved by the European Parliament through a legal trick.

Despite a majority of votes being cast against Chat Control (314 votes were FOR the REJECTION of Chat Control, while the 276 were AGAINST the rejection, i.e in favor of Chat Control), the bill passed because the opposing side needed 361 votes to reject it thanks to the special procedure invoked by the Parliament Speaker, Roberta Metsola.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Ukraine has redeployed assault forces to Konstantinovka for clearing operations.

The northern and northwestern parts of the city remain in the grey-zone, without Russian consolidation. Both Ukrainian and Russian soldiers hold overlapping and intermingled positions here, with no defined line of contact.

Ukrainian forces likely intend to clear this area from Russian infiltrators and re-establish a corridor into the northern part of the city, and then allow the remaining trapped forces in the eastern suburbs to withdraw. It is too early to say if they have achieved any successes yet.

Meanwhile, Russian forces continue to consolidate in eastern Konstantinovka, and have made new advances southwest of the city near the villages of Dolgaya Balka and Stepanovka. Fighting continues for Molocharka, north of Konstantinovka.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 US strike targets strategic China-Turkmenistan-Iran rail corridor

According to Iranian reports, the Aq Tekeh Khan railway bridge in Aqqala County, Golestan Province, was targeted overnight.

The bridge forms part of a key rail corridor linking China, Turkmenistan, and Iran, a route that has become increasingly important since Russia began transporting goods through it last November and freight traffic from China reportedly tripled amid the maritime blockade.

The type of weapon used and the origin of the attack remain unclear.
