The 26/06/26 SitRep on Ukraine is ready: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2070767413289738350.htmlNearly 700,000 people rely on our Ukraine war reporting across platforms, reaching over 800 million impressions per year. This reporting has no sponsors, no corporate backing, and no political funding. It exists because readers chose to support it.For nearly four years, we’ve delivered real-time, verified updates, tracked developments, and cut through misinformation. Reader support directly funds verification tools, source networks, and the expansion of our team to increase speed, accuracy, coverage and quality of content.Reach alone does not sustain independent reporting.

For the first time in history, Earth may require a negative leap second.Scientists report that our planet’s recent acceleration in rotation speed could soon compel global timekeepers to subtract a second from official time, an unprecedented step never taken before.Since atomic clocks were developed in the 1950s, researchers have measured Earth’s rotation with extreme precision. They found that a day is not always exactly 24 hours. Its length fluctuates by tiny amounts, usually milliseconds, as the planet’s spin speeds up or slows down. These variations are imperceptible to humans but critical for modern technology.GPS satellites, telecommunications, financial markets, and computer networks all depend on ultra-precise timing. For decades, Earth’s long-term trend was a gradual slowing, largely due to tidal friction caused by the Moon’s gravity. To keep atomic time (UTC) aligned with solar time, officials have added 27 positive leap seconds since 1972.Recently, however, Earth has been spinning noticeably faster. July 5, 2024, marked the shortest day ever recorded, completing its rotation 1.66 milliseconds early. Several other days in recent years have come close to this record.Much of this acceleration is attributed to dynamic processes in Earth’s liquid outer core, where shifts in mass distribution can alter rotation speed, analogous to a figure skater spinning faster by drawing in their arms.If the current trend persists, the world could face its first negative leap second, in which one second is removed rather than added to official time.We are not on the verge of losing a second immediately. Many experts anticipate that leap seconds will be phased out entirely by international agreement before a negative one becomes necessary.[Agnew, D. C.

Zelensky said no one can claim Ukraine has forgotten Crimea, arguing that daily pressure on Russia proves Kyiv is fighting for every part of the country.

Zelensky said no one can claim Ukraine has forgotten Crimea, arguing that daily pressure on Russia proves Kyiv is fighting for every part of the country. He said Ukraine’s medium-range and long-range sanctions are aimed at forcing Russia to end the war, depriving Moscow of its foothold and restoring justice for Ukraine and the Crimean Tatar people.

A new inspector report says the Pentagon failed to obligate $910 million in Biden-era USAI funding for Ukraine weapons production before the funds expired.

A new inspector report says the Pentagon failed to obligate $910 million in Biden-era USAI funding for Ukraine weapons production before the funds expired. Congress had allocated $33.5 billion for the program, with $32.5 billion ordered in time. The report says $19.2 billion in USAI-funded weapons has already been delivered to Ukraine, with $13.3 billion still in production.

The European Commission proposed extending temporary protection for Ukrainian refugees until March 2028 while excluding newly arriving military-age men who are not authorized by Ukraine to leave the country. The proposed restriction would apply only to new arrivals, not to the more than 4.3 million Ukrainians already protected under the EU scheme.
