Arma ce „anunță o nouă fază a războiului: Cum au devenit dronele de atac ale Ucrainei mai eficiente decât sistemele de rachete HIMARS Atacurile cu rachete cu rază medie de acțiune lansate de sistemele HIMARS au fost esențiale la începutul războiului din Ucraina pentru a încetini înaintarea trupelor ruse, dar ele nu mai reprezintă de ani de zile o amenințare mare pentru armata rusă, potrivit analiștilor citați de Business Insider. Pentru a redobândi capacitatea de a lovi constant ținte aflate în spatele liniilor de apărare ale inamicului și pentru a nu mai depinde de armele livrate de Occident, armata Kievului a dezvoltat un nou tip de drone de atac mult mai eficiente cu care a preluat din nou inițiativa pe câmpul de luptă.

Ukraine war briefing: Moped ban in Crimea as official says noise is Kyiv plot using youth The enemy is recruiting your children for nighttime rides, says official, claiming moped noise confuses drone defences. What we know on day 1,575Crimea, the peninsula annexed by Russia from Ukraine in 2014, has banned riding moped scooters, quad bikes and motorcycles at night-time, saying they sound like ⁠drone attacks and suggesting children are doing it deliberately at Kyivs behest. Sergei ​Aksyonov, the Russian-installed governor of the illegally occupied peninsula, said the ban would be in place between 8pm and 6am from Wednesday onwards.Oleg Kryuchkov, Aksyonovs adviser, claimed ‌separately on Telegram: The enemy is recruiting your children for night-time rides … The moped ⁠noise hampers the work of defence systems. Their engines sound similar [to drones]. ​Ukraine has recently intensified drone attacks on Crimea, nominally the home to Russias Black Sea Fleet – targeting the peninsulas supply routes and triggering a fuel crisis. A limit of 20 litres (5.3 gallons) of fuel per car at petrol stations would continue, Mikhail Razvozhayev, ​the governor of Crimeas biggest city, Sevastopol, posted on Tuesday. Long lines of motorists queueing in Russian-controlled Crimea, southern Krasnodar region in Russia proper, and elsewhere underscore the sensitive domestic fallout from Ukraines strikes.A Ukrainian drone attack started a fire at the refinery that is the ⁠largest fuel supplier to the Moscow region, and two industry sources told Reuters that it had halted operations. The strike on Gazprom Nefts refinery in south-east Moscow on Tuesday damaged a primary refining facility that accounts ⁠for 53 of the plants capacity. Emergency services said the ⁠fire was put out and did not affected operations – information that was contradicted by Reuters sources. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president, said the Moscow refinery was hit from a distance of 500km (310 miles). This is a just response to Russian strikes – and to the dragging out of a war that must be ended. Gazprom Neft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The US could soon reinstate sanctions on Russian oil shipments, Donald Trump indicated, as leaders at the G7 summit moved on Tuesday to put the war in Ukraine back on top of their agenda. Trump said the sanctions on Russia – partly waived by the US due to the Iran war, ostensibly to help lower oil prices – can go back in place as more oil moves through the strait of Hormuz. Soon well be able to do that because the oil is now flowing. Were in a position to do that soon.Russia should make peace with Ukraine, the US president said after a very good meeting with Zelenskyy. Look, Russia should make a deal, Trump told reporters, adding that too many young men were dying on the battlefield on both sides. Im gonna do whatever I can. The German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said of Trumps statement: I found him to be very cooperative, and ‌I also saw him listening very attentively. And ‌in that respect, once again, it gives me a certain degree of optimism that we here, as Europeans and as Americans, are now doing everything we can, together, to end the war.Zelenskyy told Reuters that G7 leaders agreed Russia was not winning the war and they discussed additional sanctions targeting Russias oil exports, its banking sector and its military production. Two European diplomats, however, told Reuters that Trump had been noncommittal on imposing further US sanctions on Moscow. A French diplomat said G7 leaders committed to providing Kyiv with more air defence capabilities. Continue reading...

Plantwatch: Russian dandelion offers solution to global rubber shortage Scientists are returning to a wartime solution that may be more sustainable than the traditional rubber treeThere is a global shortage of natural rubber and dandelions may be coming to the rescue. In the second world war there was such a severe shortage of rubber that the Allies used the Russian dandelion, Taraxacum koksaghyz, from Kazakhstan. Soviet scientists found the dandelion roots produced enough white milky latex to make natural rubber, but when the war ended producers returned to the traditional rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis.But the demand for rubber is now increasing, with rubber trees suffering from a fungal disease and the impacts of extreme weather caused by the climate crisis. So, scientists are looking again at using dandelions, with the added benefit that they grow in temperate climates, are a sustainable crop that do not need pesticides and lots of water, and dont lead to the deforestation common in tropical rubber tree plantations.
