For the 4th anniversary of army mobilisation, we added 10K+ names to our losses database in <2 weeks (double the usual rate) based on a leaked list of body exchanges. We only added the names of KIA whose identities we could confirm via state registries en.zona.media/article/2026...

Since the start of 2026 we’ve confirmed 77K+ deaths of Russian soldiers in Ukraine. Fewer than 10% were actually killed this year: the rest are 2022–2025 losses we’re only now able to verify. In today's update: why our count lags years behind the front en.zona.media/article/2026...

The US war on Iran is presumably the most stupid war in US history: 1. Trump started it for no good reason, whether to detract from the Epstein files or because he was carried away by Netanyahu. It was a lose-lose war & remains so. /1

233K confirmed Russian military deaths in Ukraine. For the first time, a single region has passed 10,000 confirmed deaths: Bashkortostan. It has led the country in losses since 2024, so hitting this threshold was only a matter of time Full report: en.zona.media/article/2026...

Russia’s National Wealth Fund, for the first time ever, will have less than half of its reserves in liquid assets than needed to cover the budget deficit this year. I’m projecting a ~12 trillion ruble deficit (federal or consolidated) this year.

Today’s Russian papers call the Ukrainian drone strike on Moscow “a record attack”, but claim “Russian attacks do more damage to Ukraine than they do to us.” One paper wonders: “From Moscow’s perspective, what level of escalation is permissible, and what isn’t?” #ReadingRussia

The deficit is already significantly higher than the budget plan, which means an increase in borrowing is highly likely (again)

Russian oil taxes for June 2026 are going to be 18 385 rubles per ton or 15% lower than May 2026 but 75% higher than June 2025. However if the subsidies for oil companies are as high as they were in May revenues may be lower than March 2026 this time.

It is just a Juan Carlos carrier (of which Australia also has 2) but will be used for drones rather than STOVL aircraft. As far as I'm aware the Chinese Type 076 is the first true drone carrier.

Destroyed Russian Be-200 aircraft, now reduced to a blackened stain on the runway at Yeysk airfield. A Su-33 can also be seen parked nearby. Interestingly, the Su-33 was not visible in footage of today’s attack, suggesting it may have been scrambled into the air during the strike air raid.
