Here's what The Counteroffensive is reading today:

#Russia is seizing #Ukraine's territory at the fastest rate since the beginning of the invasion in 2022.

Russian advances in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia will strengthen Russia's standing in negotiations with Ukraine.

The peace talks have not reached a decision on control over eastern Ukraine, Zelenskyy told Bloomberg.

Despite this, U.S. officials claim a peace deal is close. Territorial issues and security guarantee remain the key issues with the U.S. peace plan, Zelenskyy said.

Two #Russian pilots dead after the planes ejection system was accidentally activated while it was grounded. The accident likely involved either a Su-34 or a Su-24 fighter jet, which are often used to attack Ukraine.

These accidents often occur due to improper jet maintenance.

@timkmak From what I understand about these jets, when the power is off and there is no liquid pump pressure – the front-most part of the plane's rear aileron sinks down (as if the plane is going up), which pulls the stick back.

Now the problem with the stick being pulled back, towards the pilot, is that the ejection lever rests just under the seat. The stick gets STUCK on the ejection lever, and when the plane is turned on, the steering pressure comes back, pulling the stick UP and...

Splat.

Trump's strategy for a diminished America

The White House just put out a National Security Strategy, laying out its principle of “flexible realism”: a dwindling and darker role for America in the world.
