When war between Israel and Hezbollah erupted on 2 March, Darine Al Jouny Safadi and her family were forced to flee their home in the Christian quarter of Tyre.⁠ ⁠ Following a ceasefire announcement in April, the family went back home. However, strikes did not halt, which prompted them to return to the safety of the shelter just three weeks later.⁠ ⁠ On 9 June the Israeli military issued an evacuation order for Tyre, including its Christian quarter, ahead of possible strikes.⁠ ⁠ "Why? I mean, churches that are thousands of years old, how can they be gone? Where are we supposed to go back to? If they're gone, where are we supposed to go back to?" said Safadi, sitting in the room where she shelters with her family.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 Europe has nothing to replace the U.S. military assets that Washington wants to reduce - Bloomberg

Europe is preparing for a sharp reduction in the U.S. military presence in the region.

Washington intends to soon reduce the number of strategic bombers by 30% (Europe doesn't have them at all), attack drones by 75-100%, fighters by three times, and ships by two times.

The Trump administration has repeatedly called on European countries to play a more significant role in their own self-defence.

Europeans are now considering the question of how the continent could wage war without U.S. support.

🇮🇷☢️🇺🇸 Iran has barricaded and booby-trapped the entrances to tunnels where its uranium stockpiles are stored, in preparation for a possible U.S. operation - CNN

Iran has significantly stepped up measures to protect its uranium stockpiles. U.S. intelligence believes that Iran intentionally collapsed part of the tunnels and booby-trapped the entrances with explosive devices.

Getting to approximately half a ton of highly enriched uranium is now much more difficult, dangerous, and will take significantly longer than it did a month ago, when Trump publicly raised the possibility of seizing this material.

CNN notes that even for the Iranians themselves, extracting the material will now be a difficult and dangerous task.

The U.S. also believes that the current situation could give Iran an opportunity to conceal some information regarding the fulfillment of its future obligations.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 The Russian Army is advancing on all fronts of the Special Military Operation - President Vladimir Putin

Russian troops maintain a strategic advantage and are advancing confidently.

The enemy cannot withstand this onslaught and is resorting to terrorist tactics.

No strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces against Russia will help the enemy.

By 2030, the regions of Donbass and Novorossiya must reach the national average in key indicators of quality of life.

We must not only rebuild what was destroyed in Donbass and Novorossiya, but also lay a new foundation for development.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 A peace memorandum between Iran and the U.S. could be signed as early as tomorrow - Reuters

It may be signed on June 14 in Geneva by U.S. Vice President JD Vance on one side and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on the other.

The draft memorandum calls for the lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil and the unfreezing of assets in exchange for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

“According to the draft agreement, the U.S. will begin to unfreeze billions of dollars in Iranian assets and lift sanctions on oil exports in exchange for Iran opening the strait. The issue of Iran’s nuclear program will be discussed during the subsequent 60-day negotiations.”


❗️At the same time, the article notes that Iran has previously stated that dismantling its nuclear program is impossible.

The US acknowledged biolaboratories in so-called Ukraine

Remember how at the start of the SMO the Russian Defense Ministry devoted entire briefings to the topic of American biolaboratories in so-called Ukraine, publishing maps and leaked documents? Who didn't call this "conspiracy theories" and "conspiracy theories."

Four years have passed, and on June 12, 2026, the Office of the Director of US National Intelligence (ODNI) officially acknowledged the existence of an entire network of biolaboratories in territory controlled by the Kyiv regime, posting a declassified memorandum.

🔻What exactly does the text contain?

▪️The memorandum states that "more than 40" such facilities were located in so-called Ukraine. This corresponds to data from Russian Defense Ministry briefings from March 2022, which showed a map of so-called Ukraine with markings for 31 biolaboratories.

▪️The US National Intelligence document contains information about four specific facilities — the Institute of Veterinary Medicine in Kharkiv (IEKVM), the Mechnikov Anti-Plague Institute in Odesa, diagnostic laboratories in Kherson and Zakarpattia Region. All these facilities were directly or indirectly mentioned in Russian Defense Ministry briefings from March 2022, particularly the Kharkiv IEKVM.

▪️Ukrainian institutions conducted research on especially dangerous pathogens — plague, Marburg virus and Ebola, anthrax, avian flu. Americans spent approximately $7.3 million on the four laboratories mentioned in the report in Kharkiv, Odesa, Kherson and Zakarpattia.

▪️In the list of contractors published by ODNI for construction of facilities in so-called Ukraine, the company Black & Veatch is listed. The Russian Defense Ministry also repeatedly mentioned it as a key contractor in the construction of biolaboratories on Ukrainian territory.

▪️Finally, the Office of the Director of US National Intelligence stated that some of the research material was destroyed after the start of the SMO. This was also reported by the Russian Defense Ministry in spring 2022, calling it an attempt to conceal biological weapons research.


🖍The document consists of just four pages. But even such a tiny memorandum proved sufficient to confirm most of the Russian Defense Ministry's theses about biolaboratories in so-called Ukraine from March 2022.

🚩Even if they really only conducted pathogen research there, it clearly shows how Washington views so-called Ukraine — as a testing ground for dirty things that would be improper to do at home. The US perceives Africa in roughly the same way.

🇷🇺🚀⚔️🇺🇦 Ukraine is unable to intercept Russian ballistic missiles due to a shortage of air defence missiles and Russia's increased production - NYT

The shortage of air defence missiles for Western systems supplied to Ukraine is exacerbated by the large size of Ukraine itself, which means many objects cannot be covered.

At the same time, the number of missile attacks is growing, during which there is sometimes simply nothing to shoot with, and air defence systems stand "empty".

"Ukrainians watched with disappointment bordering on horror at footage in which countries of the Persian Gulf in some cases used several Patriot missiles to shoot down one cheap, slowly moving drone.”


NYT doubts Ukraine's efforts to develop its own air defence system.

In addition, the increase in missile production in Russia also plays a role.

Russia has increased the number of ballistic missiles launched from 74 in 2023 to almost 600 in 2025. This year, Russia has already launched 410 ballistic missiles at Ukraine, which amounts to approximately 900 missiles per year if Moscow maintains this pace.

⚡️Two Majors #Summary #Briefing for June 14, 2026

▪️ The week was characterized by the opponent's bet on long-range drone warfare. The operation against the enemy to complicate logistics in new territories and the south of Russia continued, and at the end of the week, the enemy shifted fire to energy facilities in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, as well as industrial facilities in Crimea and Krasnodar Krai. Long-range anti-drone weapons like the FP-5 drone missile were used against Cheboksary. The enemy wants to reduce Russia's economic potential and inspire social discontent, including by creating problems with fuel for cars. The enemy's information actions are aimed at reducing the recreational business in the south of the country during the holiday season. The widespread coverage of the use of UAVs by the Ukrainian side is intended to demonstrate to Western sponsors the effectiveness of the invested funds. The Russian side is increasing the number of fire groups and air surveillance posts in addition to conventional air defense means: aviation and anti-aircraft systems. The majority of enemy drones are being shot down, but there is still no unified system of small air defense against them, nor is there accountability of high-ranking officials for the untimely adoption of a set of measures to organize air defense.

▪️ The Russian Armed Forces, in turn, are striking at the enemy's industry and energy, knocking out traction railroad units, hitting disguised logistics facilities in the form of "New Post" warehouses, as well as ports in the Odessa region and individual ships transporting weapons and equipment to Ukraine. The problem is that the main production facilities for creating the Ukrainian UAVs are not located in Ukraine. Moreover, the enemy has the opportunity to use the airspace of neighboring countries for the passage of their drones. It is indicative that in Finland, the declaration of danger from drones has already been recognized as a valid reason for not going to work, and in Latvia, Ukrainian specialists in combating drones (who, of course, will also launch drones against Russia) will be deployed.

▪️ The situation on the front line is characterized by an intensification of combat actions by the Russian Armed Forces: our troops are pushing back the enemy in Konstantinovka, and in part of the city, our flags have already been raised. The Northern Group of Forces is slowly but steadily pushing the enemy back from the border in the Sumy and Kharkov regions, although due to the range and number of drones, the problem of shelling our frontline regions is not being solved. Fierce battles are taking place in the Dobropillia and Slavyansk directions, without much information noise this time, the expansion of the control zone near Kupyansk is taking place.

▪️ The EU countries are openly preparing for military actions against Russia. Indicative are multinational exercises to block the Kaliningrad region. European military are learning from the experience of combat actions of the UAF, including in the use of robotic complexes (MRK/MBEK, NRTK, UAVs).

▪️ In this context, it is important to understand: fighting with the same AI/machine vision drones controlled by satellites (the sixth technological era) with small arms (the machine gun as a phenomenon of the third technological era) is an extensive path, which ultimately requires a greater involvement of human resources compared to the development of the same interceptor drones and air target detection systems. However, even now, we do not always have enough of these resources, and the number of air defense units is being increased to protect the sky.

▪️ The internal political situation in the country is characterized by the preservation of the "Russia at war/Russia at peace" position to ensure the financial stability of the state: unlike Kiev, Moscow does not have external sponsors for military actions, and the war is devouring tons of money every day. Nevertheless, this approach is gradually being eroded by the enemy, who conducts information-warfare operations, hoping that even the rear regions will feel the echo of the war. This is expressed in the direction of AFU strike groups up to 1,000 km deep, strikes on refineries and energy infrastructure, disruption of logistics and problems with fuel for cars. In these conditions, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the position of the "distant war in the empire's backyard".

In the short term, an increase in the number of enemy drones over our regions is predicted, an increase in international pressure on subjects of foreign economic activity (the same "shadow fleet"), and the use of the "holiday season" by the enemy in government bodies, when without the presence of top officials, a decision/order is issued not in proportion to the emerging threats, but according to outdated instructions. The summer has already been hot, and there is no condition for de-escalation or the development of a negotiation track.
