Quote:Rumours of a rift have been mounting since Donald Trump called off a planned summit with Putin in Budapest last month, following a phone call between Lavrov and US secretary of state Marco Rubio.
According to the Financial Times, it was Lavrov's uncompromising stance that prompted the White House to put the summit on ice.
Conversations I had with diplomatic sources here at the time revealed a belief that Lavrov had either dropped the ball or gone off-script. Whether it was by accident or by design, his diplomacy (or lack of it) torpedoed the summit and seemingly set back a US-Russia rapprochement.

Even if this is all B.S. IMO standby it is coming without mercy.

“2000 Meters to Andriivka” documents the toll of the Russia-Ukraine war from a personal and devastating vantage point. Following his historic account of the civilian toll in Mariupol, Ukrainian filmmaker and Associated Press journalist Mstyslav Chernov turns his lens towards Ukrainian soldiers — who they are, where they came from, and the impossible decisions they face in the trenches as they fight for every inch of their land. The documentary follows a Ukrainian brigade battling through approximately one mile of a heavily fortified forest on their mission to liberate the Russian-occupied village of Andriivka amid a failing counteroffensive in 2023.

Quote:At 4:17 a.m., satellite screens exploded with thermal signatures as over 170,000 Russian troops launched the largest concentrated assault in two years toward Pokrovsk. The Kremlin declared immediate victory. Russian state TV showed advancing columns and flag-raising ceremonies. Putin's generals promised "unstoppable momentum." Within hours, official channels claimed Ukraine's defenses were collapsing. But something extraordinary happened—everything Russia claimed was a complete lie. Ukrainian FPV drones, loitering munitions, and real-time satellite intelligence had transformed Pokrovsk into a precision kill zone. The first Russian wave hit a wall of drones at sunrise, suffering catastrophic losses within minutes. Where Russian media showed "advancing columns," drone footage revealed burned-out vehicles scattered like black scars. Where Russia claimed captured positions, international journalists geolocated videos 35 kilometers away from actual battle zones—the flag-raising stunt was filmed in a destroyed industrial area Russia had already lost. By midday, global analysts from Reuters, BBC, and AP compared timestamps and coordinates—nothing matched Kremlin claims. Ukraine had mapped every Russian route for months, creating kill grids where drones, artillery, and special forces struck simultaneously. Reinforcements were destroyed before reaching trenches. Vehicle convoys were obliterated before unloading troops. By evening, intelligence agencies reported staggering numbers: over 25,000 Russian soldiers lost in just 24 hours—worse than Bakhmut or Avdiivka. As night fell, Ukraine deployed AI-assisted drone swarms flying coordinated patterns, selecting targets autonomously. Russian troops reported drones appearing from rooftops, trenches, and collapsed buildings—a high-tech defense built to destroy manpower faster than Russia could replace it. By morning, the offensive had fractured completely. Units ran out of ammunition. Commanders lost contact with assault groups. International media verified rows of destroyed vehicles, hundreds of bodies in open fields, ambulance convoys flooding Donetsk hospitals, and soldiers surrendering on camera. The timing devastated Moscow—US envoys arrived in Kyiv just as Russia's propaganda collapsed under global scrutiny. Pokrovsk became the first large-scale battle where drones, not artillery, determined the outcome. NATO rewrote doctrine. China studied Ukraine's methods for Taiwan scenarios. European leaders accelerated aid packages. Russia's manpower crisis was exposed—they could mobilize recruits, but not trained, capable soldiers. Pokrovsk wasn't just a Ukrainian victory—it was a global wake-up call that changed modern warfare forever.
