The partial Black Sea ceasefire negotiated by the US for Russia and Ukraine has already been violated by Russia. Trump has brought back a new version of the mineral deal and wrote in so many poison pill provisions that Ukraine will be forced to reject the deal.

A must-read thread on Ukraine
Huge amounts of training data for military AI are generated in Ukraine. Video from 15.000 drones on the frontline is captured and stored, amounting to 2 million hours of battlefield footage since the war started. But there is a catch. Or two. 🧵 1/17
❗️For the first time! 🇺🇦Ukraine carried out an attack without infantry, using only robotic systems, - ISW.
▪️This happened near the village of Liptsy, north of Kharkiv;
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan announced that the U.S. would deliver hundreds of thousands of additional artillery shells, thousands of missiles & hundreds of armoured vehicles to Ukraine by mid-January 2025.
My minimum definition of Ukraine's victory has made it to the European Commission's press review (https://buff.ly/4g13NI2) through a piece in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten (https://buff.ly/41nTQQy) that discussed my arguments. 1/5

The NATO Parliamentary Assembly has called for Ukraine to be provided with medium-range missiles.
These could be ballistic missiles with a range of 1,000-5,500 km, including Tomahawk missiles, which can strike at the enemy's strategic depth.

This belief runs extremely deep. An app using the microphone is or not is verifiable! And yet even having written the literal book on auditing iOS apps *and* with the source code in hand, I could not convince people Facebook was not constantly listening to them. I promise, it doesn't need to.
Liked this conversation.
Donald Trump's re-election as US President will transform the Russia-Ukraine War and the relationship with NATO. However, it will go further, but also reshaping how the EU/Europe outside of NATO engages on transatlantic relations with the USA.

“Sky Fortress” is a Ukrainian system of thousands of microphones, listening for the distinctive sounds of Russian low-flying UAVs such as the Shared.
They are networked to machine-learning processing nodes, that can send a truck with a .50 cal. gun to an intercept point.

A Ukrainian General Staff source reports that Ukraine controls 800 square kilometers in the Kursk operational zone, down from 1,300 at its peak. For four months, Russia has failed to reclaim the area, suffering heavy losses and deploying North Korean troops in a desperate attempt to clear it.

So apparently another ICBM was launched targeting Dnipro again, but disappeared mid-flight. Assumption - it burned / broke as it was re-entering
The Ukrainian Air Force confirmed that Russia struck the Ukrainian city of Dnipro with a conventionally armed ICBM this morning, marking the first combat use of an ICBM in history.
Footage from Dnipro showed glowing reentry vehicles hitting the ground around 5 AM local time.
