Два майора (14:32:18 UTC) reports that the creators of the "NABAT" drone detector sent six units to their fund, to be delivered to the front lines. A review video of the "NABAT" is included.
Assessment: This confirms the CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF COUNTER-DRONE TECHNOLOGY by Russian forces. The "NABAT" appears to be a commercially available or locally produced system, highlighting efforts to improve drone detection capabilities at the tactical level. The involvement of a fund suggests civilian support or crowdfunding for military supplies. FURTHER ANALYSIS OF THE "NABAT'S" EFFECTIVENESS IS NEEDED.
Оперативний ЗСУ (14:32:27 UTC), citing a US Presidential Envoy, reports that the US expects the agreement on rare earth minerals to be signed next week.
Assessment: This REINFORCES PREVIOUS REPORTS of an impending agreement. The specific mention of "rare earth minerals" clarifies the nature of the resources involved. The timeframe (next week) suggests URGENCY.
ALLEGED RUSSIAN WAR CRIME (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, UKRAINIAN SOURCE):
ЦАПЛІЄНКО_UKRAINE FIGHTS (14:34:25 UTC) reports and shows video of Russian soldiers executing wounded Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk Oblast. The video depicts an interrogation of a captured Ukrainian soldier who claims to be part of the 82nd Brigade, 6th Company, 2nd Battalion. The soldier states they were evacuating civilians and then detonated IEDs in their vehicle.
Assessment: This report REQUIRES URGENT VERIFICATION. If true, this constitutes a SERIOUS WAR CRIME. The video, while graphic, PROVIDES POTENTIAL EVIDENCE for investigations. The claimed location (Kursk Oblast) FURTHER SUPPORTS reports of Ukrainian incursions into Russian territory. The captured soldier's statements SUGGEST A POSSIBLE UKRAINIAN OPERATION involving civilian evacuation and the use of IEDs. INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION AND INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION ARE ESSENTIAL.
Zelenskiy / Official, 🇺🇦 Запорізька обласна військова адміністрація 🇺🇦, КМВА (Київська міська військова адміністрація), РБК-Україна, Оперативний ЗСУ (14:24, 14:25, 14:33, 14:36, 14:37, 14:39, 14:41, 14:42, 14:43, 14:44, 14:52, 14:55, 14:56, 14:59 UTC) all report on a press conference by President Zelensky. Key points include:
Potential Summit: Zelensky proposes a summit in a European capital in the coming days or weeks to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, primarily with European partners and the US.
Willingness to Resign: Zelensky states he is willing to resign if it leads to peace or Ukraine's entry into NATO.
US Aid and Debt: Zelensky disputes the amount of US aid provided, stating it is $100 billion, not $500 billion, and insists it was agreed with Biden to be a grant, not a loan. He refuses to acknowledge the larger figure as debt.
Mineral Agreement: Zelensky discusses a potential agreement with the US regarding mineral resources, framing it as part of Ukraine's plan for victory and a way to secure security guarantees. He acknowledges the US wants a 100% return on its aid.
Trump: Zelensky expresses belief that Trump wants to and can help end the war, but emphasizes that force must be directed at Russia.
Negotiation Table: Zelensky states that the negotiation table should consist of Ukraine, Europe, the US and Russia.
Assessment: This press conference reveals SIGNIFICANT TENSIONS between Ukraine and the US regarding the TERMS OF AID AND THE MINERAL AGREEMENT. Zelensky's public stance CHALLENGES US CLAIMS about the debt and REJECTS THE IDEA OF A 100% RETURN on investment. His willingness to resign HIGHLIGHTS THE URGENCY of the situation and his COMMITMENT TO PEACE AND NATO MEMBERSHIP. The proposed summit SIGNALS A PUSH FOR EUROPEAN LEADERSHIP in providing security guarantees. THE PUBLIC DISAGREEMENT WITH THE US over aid COULD STRAIN RELATIONS and COMPLICATE FUTURE SUPPORT.
RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA FILM (MEDIUM PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):
Kotsnews (14:35:45 UTC) promotes a film titled "So-Called Ukraine," claiming to show how Ukraine reached its current state.
Assessment: This is CLEARLY RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA intended to UNDERMINE UKRAINIAN NATIONAL IDENTITY and JUSTIFY RUSSIAN ACTIONS. The film is likely to present a BIASED AND DISTORTED VIEW of history and current events.
REPORTED RUSSIAN ADVANCES IN KRASNOLYMAN DIRECTION (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):
Colonelcassad (14:36:39 UTC) reports Russian advances in the Krasnolyman direction, claiming the destruction of Ukrainian defenses and the expansion of the "gray zone." Specific locations mentioned include Kolodyazi, Grekovka, and south of Yampolivka. Claims include the capture of a Ukrainian stronghold near Grekovka and a 450-meter advance.
Assessment: These claims REQUIRE URGENT VERIFICATION. If confirmed, they represent SIGNIFICANT RUSSIAN GAINS in this area. The reported destruction of Ukrainian defenses and expansion of the "gray zone" SUGGEST A WEAKENING OF UKRAINIAN POSITIONS. The claimed advance of 450 meters near Grekovka WOULD BE SUBSTANTIAL. INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION IS CRITICAL.
UKRAINIAN FORCES TRAINING (MEDIUM PRIORITY, REPORTED, UKRAINIAN SOURCE):
ОТУ "Харків"🇺🇦 (14:45:33 UTC) reports and shows photos of Ukrainian infantry from the 58th Motorized Infantry Brigade training in forest combat. The training focuses on movement in wooded areas, reacting to ambushes, and close-quarters combat.
Assessment: This DEMONSTRATES CONTINUED EFFORTS by Ukrainian forces to IMPROVE TACTICAL SKILLS and PREPARE FOR COMBAT in specific environments. The focus on forest combat suggests an ANTICIPATION OF FIGHTING in areas with dense vegetation.
RUSSIAN CLAIM OF DESTROYED UKRAINIAN COLUMN NEAR GONCHAROVKA CLARIFICATION(HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):**
Два майора (14:14:55) stated that this was "near Goncharovka", but the ЦАПЛІЄНКО_UKRAINE FIGHTS report states the soldiers were executed IN Kursk oblast.
Assessment:FURTHER CONFIRMS UKRAINIAN PRESENCE in the area, as previously mentioned in the last report. URGENT VERIFICATION NEEDED

Maintain the highest priority on VERIFYING ALL REPORTED RUSSIAN ADVANCES, particularly in the KURSK OBLAST and KRASNOLYMAN direction.
Immediately investigate the reported execution of Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk Oblast. Gather all available evidence (video, witness testimonies, satellite imagery) and SHARE WITH INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATIVE BODIES.
Deploy all available reconnaissance assets (drones, satellites, human intelligence) to CONFIRM OR REFUTE the reported Ukrainian losses in Kursk Oblast.
Assess the scale of any Ukrainian presence and RUSSIAN COUNTER-OPERATIONS in the area.
Determine the objectives of any confirmed Ukrainian incursion.
Increase security and patrols along the border.
Prepare for potential further incursions or attacks.
ADDRESS ZELENSKY'S CONCERNS AND PROPOSALS (EXTREME PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
Prepare for the proposed summit on security guarantees. Develop a clear and concise position on Ukraine's needs and expectations. Coordinate with European partners to ensure a unified approach.
Engage in immediate and high-level discussions with US officials to address the disagreements over the terms of aid and the mineral agreement. Clarify Ukraine's position on debt and seek a mutually acceptable solution.
Explore alternative sources of financial and military aid in case of further disagreements with the US.
VERIFY AND ASSESS UKRAINIAN DEEP STRIKE DAMAGE (EXTREME PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
Utilize all available intelligence assets (satellite imagery, drone reconnaissance, human intelligence) to VERIFY THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE inflicted on Russian oil infrastructure and other claimed targets.
Assess the impact on Russian oil production, refining capacity, and overall economic output.
Monitor for any Russian retaliatory actions.
INVESTIGATE EXPLOSION IN BALAKOVO, RUSSIA (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):

MAINTAIN HIGH ALERT STATUS ALONG ALL FRONTLINES (EXTREME PRIORITY, CONTINUOUS):
Maintain high alert status for air defense systems, particularly in areas targeted by Russian airstrikes and guided bombs.
Continue to reinforce Ukrainian defenses along key axes, especially POKROVSK and LYMAN.
Prepare for potential counteroffensives to regain lost territory.
ADDRESS SBU CLAIMS OF PREVENTED TERRORIST ATTACKS (MEDIUM PRIORITY, ONGOING):
Investigate the SBU claims thoroughly.

The situation remains EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND RAPIDLY EVOLVING. The REPORTED RUSSIAN ADVANCES, the POTENTIAL FOR ESCALATION IN KURSK OBLAST, and the EMERGING TENSIONS WITH THE US OVER AID are the MOST IMMEDIATE AND CRITICAL CONCERNS. RAPID INTELLIGENCE GATHERING, VERIFICATION OF REPORTS, COORDINATED MILITARY ACTION, AND STRONG DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS are ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. The reported war crime MUST BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY AND THOROUGHLY. The upcoming summit on security guarantees PRESENTS A CRITICAL OPPORTUNITY to STRENGTHEN UKRAINE'S POSITION and SECURE LONG-TERM SUPPORT.
