Ukraine vows to strike Russian refineries in response to Moscow's new civilian targeting doctrine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Kyiv will intensify strikes on Russian oil refineries in direct response to a new Russian military doctrine that explicitly targets civilian infrastructure to force evacuations. This escalation follows recent Russian airstrikes on Kyiv's Northern Bridge and other civilian sites, which Zelenskyy claims are designed to pressure citizens to leave the capital. While Ukraine vows not to target civilians in retaliation, it is expanding its long-range capabilities, including strikes on the Samara and Bryansk regions. The move comes amid sustained Western backing, including a visit by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and a pro-Ukraine parliamentary victory in Latvia.

"Leaked Russian Military Files Expose Criteria for Nuclear Strike"

Leaked Russian military documents reveal the criteria for using tactical nuclear weapons, indicating a threshold lower than publicly admitted, with potential triggers including enemy incursion, destruction of strategic assets, and distrust of China. The documents also suggest a fear of Chinese attack in Russia's Far East, leading to military exercises near China, while experts believe Russia may have a higher threshold for using tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine to avoid escalation with the U.S. or U.K.

"Russian Military Develops 'Invisibility Cloak' Camouflage for Close-range Stealth"

Russia has developed and deployed new camouflage technology, nicknamed "invisibility cloaks," for its troops, as part of the Russian military doctrine of 'maskirovka.' The technology, developed by Russian firm HiderX, involves a camouflage suit that conceals the heat signature of soldiers, effectively making them undetectable from as close as 3 feet away. The suit, with three layers to manipulate infrared radiation, has been tested in Ukraine and is part of Russia's strategy to control and manipulate the adversary's perception on the battlefield.
