Ukrainian partisan movement ATESH says it burned electronic warfare towers in Russia's Bryansk Oblast, the region Russia uses to launch ballistic missiles at Kyiv. ATESH agents targeted communication and EW nodes in the cities of Fokino and Karachev in a coordinated operation, the group reveals.

The sabotage lands in the strategically critical zone that Russia uses for ballistic strikes on the Ukrainian capital. Iskander-M ballistic missiles launched from Bryansk Oblast reach Kyiv in about two minutes of flight time.

Ukrainian Volunteer Army spokesperson Serhii Bratchuk said on Kyiv24 TV that Russia has moved its launchers up to the Bryansk border, reducing flight time to the point that the air raid siren in Kyiv sounds after the first explosions ring out in the capital. Ukraine cannot intercept most of these strikes due to an acute shortage of Patriot missiles.

Russia builds three ballistic missiles per day: Japan’s entire annual Patriot output would cover only one mass strike on Kyiv, expert says

Ukraine needs a minimum of 2,000 PAC-3 interceptors per year to defeat Russian ballistic missiles. Ukrainian military-political analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko from the Informational Resistance group said on Espreso TV that Ukraine's requirement is 2,000 PAC-3 per year, against Russia's production of the 9M723 ballistic missile for the Iskander-M complex at 3 per day, or more than 1,000 per year.

The US produces about 700 PAC-3 interceptors per year at Lockheed Martin, per Kovalenko. Japan produces roughly 70 PAC-3 per year at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries under license. Global combined output stands at approximately 770 PAC-3 per year, compared with Ukraine's 2,000-per-year requirement.

"We need at least 2,000 anti-missiles of the PAC-3 type just to intercept the 9M723 production. That is why PAC-3 production is very important for us," Kovalenko said. . . .

Lindsey Graham On Ukraine and Trump

In His Own Words

Phillips P. OBrien

rump


. . . Conclusion—With Some Adjectives.

In summation, using Graham’s own words, the following points seem clear, at least to me.

1. Graham supported Trump always and consistently, no matter what the President said or did. Indeed, Graham’s support for Trump became louder more recently.

2. Graham never criticized Trump for cutting off all US military aid for Ukraine; indeed, he said changing aid to loans was a good thing.

3. Graham never criticized Trump for blocking a vote on Graham-Blumenthal but regularly stated that the President would support a vote, claims that seem to have had no validity.

4. If Graham was ever forced to choose between Ukraine and Trump, he always supported Trump, to the point that he stated Zelensky should resign after being ambushed by Trump and Vance in the Oval Office in February 2025.

5. Graham regularly made it seem to the public, both before and after the 2024 election, that Trump was more pro-Ukraine than the President really was.

6. Graham never used his powerful position in the Senate to do anything Trump did not want to get aid to Ukraine.

If you believe these are the actions of a “friend” of Ukraine, so be it.

Ukraine's Freyja anti-ballistic system: When it could enter service

The expert explained what's missing before the new air defense system can be deployed

By Daryna Vialko and Kostiantyn Kryvolap | Mon, July 13, 2026 - 19:51

ould-1783960707.html


. . . "This is not Patriot, which took 10 years to develop. This system is on a completely different technological level. In this case, an air defense system is assembled from existing components. Europe has everything needed except the missile, and Ukraine provides the missile," Kryvolap added. . . .

. . . just like the development of Patriot and SAMP/T systems, building Ukraine's own anti-ballistic defense system will take time.

UPDATE: The Lindsey Graham Timeline Does Not Work… He Died in Kyiv

12 July 2026 by Larry C. Johnson 289 Comments

Let’s follow the timeline. According to the official story: 911 call from his DC residence at 8:30pm ET on July 11 for suspected cardiac arrest. He “died at home.”

This is total bullshit!

So let’s go thru the timeline. Lindsey departed Dulles International Airport at around 0700 local on July 9 — the flight from Dulles to Warsaw is 9 hours. He took the overnight train that departed Warsaw at 18:15 hours local on July 9th and arrived in Kyiv between 09:45–10:45 local on July 10th.

So Lindsey Graham arrives in Kyiv by 11 am Friday morning. He meets with Zelensky and tours a drone factory. Then we are asked to believe that he returns to Washington, DC after spending less than 24 hours on the ground. Again, I call bullshit!!

The earliest train back to Warsaw departs Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi at 07:40–08:00 on the 11th and arrives Przemysl Glówny in the afternoon (~17:00–18:00). That is at least nine hours. That would make it roughly 1100 hours in Washington, DC. Let’s assume he has an hour to get to the airport and the plane takes off at 1900 hours local from Poland, which is 1200 hours in Washington. The flight going west takes 10 hours… This means the earliest the plane could have landed at Dulles is 2200 hours on the 11th. That is 2 ½ hours after Graham reportedly died at home.

I emphasize that the normal travel to Kyiv by members of Congress, members of NATO and the EU, and even Joe Biden is to take a plane to Poland and then hop a train to Kyiv. It is, normally, at least a 20 hour trip. In order for Senator Graham to have arrived at home by 2000 hours local in Washington, DC, he would have had to depart from Kyiv at 0700 hours local Ukraine. I have been unable to find any schedule that shows a train departing Kyiv at that hour.

Too bad, but your Russian propagandist's fake timeline starts in the wrong country.

Lindsey Graham was in Turkey for the NATO summit immediately before traveling to Ukraine. He departed Ankara on July 9, 2026, and took an overnight train from Poland to arrive in Kyiv.

The issue isn't when he got to Kiev, but when he arrived in Poland on his way back home.
