Today, there is interesting news from the Liman direction.
Here, Ukrainian troops have crossed the Zherebets River at several points, putting Russian forces north of Liman in an increasingly dangerous situation, as even Russian military bloggers are now alarmed about the development. This effectively confirms that Ukraine has consolidated the settlements on the western bank after eliminating the Russian salient there. Ukrainian units are now pushing from Ivanivka into Terny and Novosadove, from Novoliubavka toward Nevske, and operating around Zarichne in the direction of Torske.
The crossing toward Terny is particularly important because it seals off the Russian pocket in Kolodiazi, where more than one hundred Russian soldiers remain trapped after the wider Russian withdrawal attempt. Previously, they theoretically retained the possibility of escaping east toward the river, even though at great risk of Ukrainian drone fire. Ukrainian troops operating beyond the Zherebets can now threaten those routes from the opposite bank, leaving the remaining Russians without any chance of withdrawal.
At the same time, Russian analysts acknowledge serious problems for their forces, like their depleted formations fighting against fresher Ukrainian assault units, and the lack of effective supplies due to the intense Ukrainian drone activity around river crossings. However, the Russian command appears to be underreporting the severity of the collapse, which only makes things worse for the Russian forces on the ground. The advancing Ukrainian forward units have not yet encountered the concentration of Russian air and drone strikes expected against a major breakthrough, as they are penetrating territory still considered by the Russian command to be a relatively safer rear.
This threatens Russian drone detachments positioned behind the former frontline, which contain highly trained operators whose loss would be considerably more damaging than losing ordinary infantry. If Ukrainian assault groups reach their positions, Russia could simultaneously lose personnel, equipment, and drone fire support needed by nearby formations.
The consequences would be especially serious for the Russians still trapped west of the river. Drone deliveries cannot sustain an isolated force indefinitely, but they can transport ammunition, food, medicine, and batteries. Destroying or displacing Russian drone teams would therefore remove even this limited lifeline.
There is also another opportunity for Ukraine to exploit, because when a frontline moves rapidly, drone units need time to relocate, establish communications, position reconnaissance platforms, and rebuild the reconnaissance-to-strike kill chain. Russia should now be doing exactly that east of the Zherebets. Instead, attempts to soften the scale of the defeat for Russian audiences create further confusion inside the command structure. As Russian commanders continue working from maps showing lost territory as Russian-controlled, they issue orders based on a battlefield that no longer exists. Drone teams remain in supposedly safe positions, artillery receives incorrect targeting restrictions, and reserves are directed toward strongpoints already bypassed by Ukrainian troops, making them easy prey for ambushes both from the ground and the air.
Ukraine crossing the river itself suggests Russian defenses have not reorganized quickly enough. Ukrainian commanders generally avoid committing assault infantry across major obstacles without sufficient reconnaissance and support, so moving beyond the Zherebets indicates they see an opportunity to exploit Russian disorganization before a coherent defensive line emerges, with Ukrainian troops already appearing behind what Russia expected to become its next defensive barrier.
Overall, Russia’s effort to minimize the loss of its western Zherebets salient is helping produce another crisis, as Ukraine has not merely captured an abandoned bridgehead, but its assault groups are already crossing the obstacle the Russian command needed to stabilize behind. If Russian drone units can't be relocated on time to establish a new kill chain, Ukrainian infiltrations can lead to the establishment of footholds before organized resistance develops. That would transform into a broader breakdown of Russian lines and potentially threaten the other remaining Russian approach toward Liman.
TheCanadaChronicleCanada and the European Union are flirting with a new kind of trade partnership that would allow them to sideline Donald Trump and his trade war. It’s another example of how Mark Carney has been “forthright in standing up to Trump’s nonsense” – and winning support from the public because of it.

Russians will be heading to the polls for parliamentary elections this weekend, and perhaps unsurprisingly Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party is leading as the war in Ukraine continues.
[Subscribe to our Substack newsletter: https://channel4news.substack.com/subscribe]
So is there still a political pulse in a nation where Putin rules supreme and parties that oppose the war are banned?
Voters will go to the polls over three days to elect a new State Duma in the first parliamentary elections since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine.
The only anti-war party has been banned, while candidates deemed to have "undesirable" opinions have been disqualified or jailed.
This is a rare journey through Moscow, where we discover what campaigning looks like in an election where everyone already knows who the winner will be.

Humanity is fundamentally rewriting its own timeline—from the secrets buried in ancient dirt to the biological codes dictating how we age. Today's briefing explores a profound series of breakthroughs that connect our deepest past to our immediate future. We uncover how archaeologists are using artificial intelligence to read 4,000-year-old clay letters without ever opening them, and how scientists are mapping the ancient DNA of a 5,500-year-old plague to understand the true origins of global pandemics. 🧬📜
As we look inward, the science of human aging is crossing into what once felt like science fiction. Clinical trials are proving that targeted epigenetic lifestyle interventions can reverse biological age in just four weeks—effectively rebooting the cellular software of the human body. Meanwhile, engineers are developing microscopic, sound-powered robots designed to hunt down the inflammatory "zombie cells" that cause our tissues to degrade over time. It is a biological revolution happening in real-time. 🔬🧫
Beyond our biology, the physical world is shifting. We track the astonishing discovery of a Bronze Age weapon forged from a meteorite, explore how 16% of a lost supercontinent is hiding beneath the Himalayas, and examine the immense cosmic winds from supermassive black holes that dictate the life and death of entire galaxies. Yet, these incredible leaps in human knowledge are colliding with the stark realities of modern governance. We analyze the high-stakes deployment of orbital weapons, the mounting pressure of the AI infrastructure debt bubble, and the fragile state of a global economy trying to route around unprecedented logistical and energy shocks. 🌍🛰️
From the left, the right, and straight from the algorithm — let’s get Artificially Informed.
Tech giants OpenAI and Anthropic have been summoned to appear before an Australian Parliamentary inquiry into Artificial Intelligence.
In this segment from Nine’s Today show, Nationals MP David Littleproud and Western Sydney Women CEO Amanda Rose break down what this inquiry means for content creators, national security, data privacy, and Australian innovation, alongside discussions on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s diplomatic tech meetings at the UNGA summit in New York. | Subscribe 👉 http://9Soci.al/L72O50GjSJY

Russia has sharply intensified strikes on infrastructure in Ukraine, with an AFP analysis of Armed Conflict Location and Event (ACLED) data showing around 100 strikes or series of strikes on civilian storage facilities in the Kyiv region since mid-June. That compares with about 50 recorded from the start of the war in February 2022 through mid-June 2026, although the tally is not exhaustive. Russian attacks have also increasingly hit distribution sites, shops, markets and fuel infrastructure, disrupting supply chains and affecting civilian life far from the front line. With winter approaching, the intensifying infrastructure strikes are raising fresh concerns about civilian vulnerability and the wider impact of the Russia-Ukraine war.
