[Washington Examiner] A majority of Republicans in Congress continue to back aiding and arming Ukraine, in stark contrast to GOP presidential primary voters who overwhelmingly appear to favor candidates who want to end or lessen that support.

For those watching from elsewhere, a reminder that support for Ukraine is NOT the dominant issue in the 'publican primary. Trying to make sense of it using that as the leading indicator will make no sense at all.

The news isn't the low-budget deception attempt.
The news is that this is the Engels-2 airfield. Main strategic base. Think, like Tinker in OK or Minot in ND.

Wait a minute. The planes look dark when seen from the top, but those wacky Russians are painting light silhouettes to hide them?
When processing digital images to locate or track objects, it helps to have strong contrast between the background and the object of interest. Looking at the image on the upper right, the white paint only makes the edges stand out. If the intent is maskirovka, you either want something that looks like a plane or 'dazzle' camouflage to fool edge detectors. Not buying it.

In the photos on Drive/Warzone, one of the decoys is painted to look just like a real plane. It just doesn't cast a shadow like a real plane.

[RIA] After the withdrawal of units of the Wagner PMC from the North Military District zone and the movement of some of them to the territory of Belarus and Africa, it might seem that the bright but controversial history of Wagner was over. Many in the West and Ukraine exhaled: the presence of the Wagnerites in certain sectors of the front meant only one thing - moving forward to victory, no matter what: remember Artemovsk (Bakhmut), Soledar, Popasnaya and other places where the most fierce battles took place.
But it seems that the joy of our enemies was a little premature.
This past week, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting in the Kremlin with Deputy Defense Minister Yunus-Bek Yevkurov and retired Colonel Andrei Troshev, which presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov called “routine” and “purely work-related.”
However, the reaction in the Western and Ukrainian media to this completely working and absolutely routine meeting turned out to be very painful.
The fact is that Andrei Troshev is the former chief of staff of Wagner, who, in fact, was responsible for the combat component of the PMC’s work. Troshev is a SOBR colonel, a former paratrooper artilleryman, a veteran of Afghanistan and Chechnya, and has the title of Hero of Russia for the capture of Palmyra in 2016. Troshev was also awarded two Orders of Courage, three Orders of the Red Star and a medal of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland. SOBR is a special forces component of the Russian ministry of internal matters (MVD) (Formerly KGB)
Andrey Troshev enjoys unquestioned authority among the fighters of the Wagner PMC and until now oversaw the integration of the Wagnerites into the Ministry of Defense system on the Ukrainian front within the framework of the Redut and Volunteer Corps volunteer units.
At the meeting, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed Troshev to engage in the formation of new volunteer units that “can perform various combat missions - primarily, of course, in the zone of a special military operation,” as well as “synchronizing” their activities with the Russian Defense Ministry. The presence at the meeting of the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Defense Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, who also oversees the activities of Russian PMCs abroad, signals a new page in the activities of the Wagner PMC in the hottest area in an updated status, which includes all the opportunities, benefits and guarantees that apply to military personnel "regular" units of the Russian Armed Forces.
According to Vladimir Putin, “regardless of the status of a person who performs or has performed combat missions, social guarantees for everyone should be absolutely the same. For the country, for the homeland, it makes no difference in what status the person fought and defended the fatherland.”
According to expert estimates, the number of fighters of the Wagner PMC exceeded 50 thousand people, whose combat experience can and should be used: according to the ex-commander of the 16th Air Army, Lieutenant General of the Reserve Valery Retunsky, “our leadership, primarily based on experience of the Wagnerites’ participation in the Northern Military District, she is now well aware that the country really needs such private military organizations.”
His words are confirmed by Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov, who quoted the president, noting that the Wagner PMC "made a great contribution to the course of the Northern Military District and the liberation of the DPR regions . The heroism of these people will not be forgotten."
According to official information, there is now a large number of volunteers wishing to join the relevant units fighting in the Northern Military District zone. At the same time, the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces announced that it does not plan additional mobilization measures. According to a statement by the deputy head of the Main Organizational and Mobilization Directorate of the General Staff, Rear Admiral Vladimir Tsimlyansky, “there are enough people willing to enroll in military service under a contract and volunteers who have decided to participate in the Northern Military District to complete the assigned tasks.”
According to some reports, the Wagnerites have already been spotted in a number of areas where the SVO is being carried out, in particular in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) and in the Kharkov and Zaporozhye directions. Against the backdrop of the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces exhausted and choked in blood and the introduction of previously untouchable reserves into battle, the question obviously arises of the transfer of the strategic initiative to the RF Armed Forces, and therefore of the prospect of a large-scale offensive, where the experience of the Wagnerites will be truly invaluable.
The enemy, however, pretends that there is no threat and that they have “everything under control.” In a boastful interview with Western media, the deputy commander of the Eastern Group of Forces for Strategic Communications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Sergei Cherevaty, said that “Wagner” as a combat unit was completely destroyed by the Ukrainian army,” and those who are now in the Northern Military District zone are “a useless, unprepared group of mercenaries who are being silenced holes."
We will not destroy the rosy picture of the world of Pan Cherevaty and other talking heads of the Kiev regime, but will simply wait until the “useless and unprepared” fighters of the old-new “Wagner” play their favorite melody, the name of which is “Only Forward.”

[REGNUM] Last week, news briefly appeared about the suspension of uranium exports from Russia, allegedly due to some problems with the insurance of such cargo shipped from St. Petersburg. Which is theoretically possible, given the reluctance of EU sanctions officials to serve ships and cargo from Russia. However, Rosatom, in whose departmental publication such news appeared, stated: the state corporation fulfills “the accepted obligations under the concluded contracts to foreign customers in full.”
[TWITTER] Slovakia's pro-Russian and anti-liberal election winner Robert Fico was poised on Sunday to begin coalition talks to form a government likely to join Hungary in opposing the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... 's military aid for Ukraine.
The 59-year-old former prime minister's SMER-SSD party scored nearly 23% of Saturday's parliamentary poll, earning the president's nod to start talks to replace a technocrat government that has been backing Kyiv against Russia's invasion.
"We are not changing that we are prepared to help Ukraine in a humanitarian way," said Fico, whom analysts consider to be inspired by Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban who has frequently clashed with the EU.
"We are prepared to help with the reconstruction of the state but you know our opinion on arming Ukraine," he added at a news conference.
