[REGNUM.RU] A Russian Su-35 multirole fighter jet destroyed a Ukrainian MiG-29 aircraft from a distance of approximately 190 km. This was reported by Military Watch Magazine (MWM).
According to military experts, this may be the longest combat hit on a target recorded in the air.
The incident occurred on June 27 in the airspace of the Poltava region, where a Ukrainian MiG-29 crashed after a direct hit. According to the publication, the strike was carried out by a long-range R-37M air-to-air guided missile. Experts noted that the successful use of this weapon at a range of 190 km significantly changes the tactics of air combat in the special military operation zone.
This type of munition was originally developed for MiG-31BM interceptors, but in the early 2020s, the missile was successfully adapted to the technical capabilities of Su-35 fighters. The projectile possesses unique characteristics and is capable of reaching speeds approaching Mach 6. The maximum range of the R-37M is up to 400 km when launched from a MiG-31BM and up to 350 km when fired from an Su-35S.
On June 27, the Ukrainian Air Force reported that a MiG-29 fighter jet crashed in the Poltava region. It was on a combat mission. The agency stated that the pilot was able to eject. The cause of the plane's crash was not disclosed.
On June 27, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that Russian forces, using a Geran-4 Seeker UAV, destroyed two Ukrainian Army MiG-29 fighter jets carrying their air-to-air weapons at the Voznesensk airfield in the Mykolaiv region. Additionally, a refueling tanker, an APA-5D special vehicle (airfield mobile unit), and the flight and engineering personnel who arrived to prepare the aircraft for takeoff were destroyed.
[NYPOST] New Russian recruits have a life expectancy of just 20 to 35 minutes in combat in Ukraine — showing how quickly Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... 's troops are falling victim to drone warfare, according to chilling reports from Moscow.
Once a soldier is signed up to fight, he can expect to live for just 10 days to three weeks — from arrival at the training ground to death in combat, according to historian Peter Frankopan in an op-ed for Foreign Policy, citing Russian military bloggers.
As the bloody conflict in Ukraine approaches the four and a half year mark, Russian military brass are desperately seeking new soldiers for Putin's meat grinder.
In late 2025, Russian officials claimed they had recruited more than 420,000 new soldiers for year-long military contracts, but even state media admits those numbers are down some 30% this year.
According to military bloggers, Russia still recruits roughly 800 to 1,000 new voluntary contract soldiers per day, with many of them rushed through just a handful of days of combat training.
Average monthly casualties are now running at more than 30,000, with various Western sources putting the total Russian casualties at more than 1 million since the start of the war in February 2022.
Russia — which has a population of about 143 million — is now suffering eight casualties for every one lost by Ukraine, according to estimates cited by Frankopan.
With the struggle to find fresh recruits, some are being offered sign-up bonuses of up to $80,000 and up to $140,000 in debt relief in order to encourage volunteers.
For context, the average monthly salary in Russia is only around $1,000 a month, and far lower in many of the remote regions where Putin is recruiting soldiers.
The extremely high Russian casualty rate is blamed on the astonishing rise in military drones, which have become Ukraine's most effective weapons.
Ukraine is also increasingly striking at targets deep inside Russia, including a huge attack on Moscow's largest oil refinery in June that has reportedly put it out of action until next year.
Ukrainian drones have reduced Russia's oil refining capacity by some 700,000 barrels per day, according to Rooters estimates.
More than half of Russia's regions are now rationing fuel, an extraordinary state of affairs for the world's third-largest fuel producer.
Russia is now spending more than half of its state budget on the military, with experts warning that Putin's economy is on the brink of collapse.
One Russian blogger, a Ukraine war veteran going by the name Aleksandr Lunin, has accused Russian commanders of regularly torturing their own soldiers, and warned that a mutiny could soon take place.
In the video, Lunin demanded a live, on-air meeting with Putin, and said that if not, ''the army will turn its weapons against the Kremlin,'' reported Fortune.
But Frankopan, professor of global history at the University of Oxford, said that revolution was unlikely, and instead, Putin could feel he has less to lose by escalating the conflict.
''Beware the drowning man: The coming months will likely be dangerous outside and inside Russia as Putin tries desperately to stay afloat,'' he wrote.

If accurate, how much longer can this possibly drag on ?

Never any mention of Ukrainian casualties. And exactly how did Mr. Frankopan gather this intelligence? From the CIA?
And what's that old saying whenever a war starts? Oh right: The first casualty is the truth.

My guess is that this war will continue as long as NATO members are willing to foot the bill for all those Ukrainian drones. They don't seem to care about the life excectancy of recruits on either side of the front lines.

[FOX] Police in Monaco and France were reportedly searching Monday night for a man suspected of detonating a makeshift explosive device that injured several people, including two critically.
The explosion happened shortly before 9 p.m. local time in the center of Monaco, near the entrance of a residential building. Surveillance video appeared to show a man leaving a backpack at the scene moments before the blast, Reuters reported, citing French newspaper Le Figaro.
Christophe Mirmand, Monaco’s minister of state, told BFM TV that two of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries.
"No event of this nature has ever happened in the principality before," Mirmand told the outlet.
French emergency crews were sent to the scene to assist. Authorities in France and Monaco launched a joint operation to find the suspect, according to France’s Interior Ministry.
BFM TV, citing Monaco’s prosecutor general, described the device as a "parcel bomb."
From Skidmark’s Breitbart article in comments, below:
A parcel bomb explosion in Monaco on Monday wounded at least three people — including Ukrainian tycoon Vadym Iermolaiev, sanctioned by the Kyiv government over his ties to Russia.
A yet-to-be identified suspect is believed to have fled on foot to France and is still on the run. Monaco authorities reportedly ruled out the possibility the incident was a terrorist attack as of Tuesday morning.
Vadym Iermolaiev and his partner remain in critical condition, while a 13 year-old boy, presumed to be the couple’s child, reportedly suffered less serious injuries in the explosion. The three injured individuals were reportedly transported to a French hospital in Nice. The full extent of their injuries remains unknown.

Let me toss in a little history on Russia and explosions.
The current record regarding the site of a massive explosion is held by Russia. It was set on this day June 30th, 1908 about 117+ years ago, and it has not been broken yet.
June 30, 1908: A giant meteor Air Burst over the Stony Tunguska River in Yeniseysk Governorate, area of Russia. It is still the largest recorded non-earth object impact event to have happen since humanity arrived. It wiped out something like 80+ million trees, over a 800 square miles radius.

[REGNUM.RU] The Ukrainian Armed Forces' strike on a Belarusian bus carrying children was deliberate, and it constitutes an act of terrorism against civilians. Acting Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Anna Yevstigneeva stated this on June 29.
"This isn't a strike on military targets with consequences for civilians, nor is it an accidental hit, but rather the deliberate actions of an operator who was able to see the nature of the target. This is clearly an act of terrorism against civilians," Yevstigneeva said during a UN Security Council meeting.
She added that numerous pieces of evidence were found at the site of the attack that confirm the drone's origin in Ukraine.
On June 17, a Ukrainian Armed Forces drone near Bryansk attacked a bus carrying a children's soccer team consisting of 28 minors and 16 accompanying adults from Belarus, traveling from Gomel to Gelendzhik. A pregnant woman was killed in the attack, and eight others, including six children, were hospitalized. The Russian Investigative Committee opened a terrorist investigation. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko called the attack on the bus a provocation by Kyiv and an act of fascism.
On June 27, Acting Governor of the Bryansk Region Yegor Kovalchuk announced that Ukrainian drones blocked the evacuation of a Belarusian bus for 1.5 hours.
