I examine Sergei Lavrov’s claim that European rearmament is provoking Russia, even as Moscow sustains its war against Ukraine and reportedly plans major spending on jet-powered drones and loitering munitions. The strategic issue is not whether NATO should react impulsively to every Russian action; it is whether repeated drone incursions, aggressive flight paths, and hybrid operations can gradually raise the threshold for an allied response. The Institute for the Study of War warns that such normalization could create tactical surprise.

I also cover the reported major security incident near RAF Fairford, Germany’s allegations of Russian hybrid activity, and Putin’s renewed rhetoric about Russian speakers in the Baltic states. Ukraine is testing interceptor drones while Poland has offered to host Patriot missile production. I assess Moscow’s political warfare aimed at Germany and France, including messaging around Nord Stream and the online “Russia is not my enemy” campaign—and why European unity remains a central strategic target.

Today, there is interesting news from the Liman direction.

Here, Ukraine’s Third Army Corps has used a series of unconventional battlefield tactics near Liman, with the most prominent one transforming an obsolete armored personnel carrier into a massive unmanned kamikaze vehicle to destroy a Russian strongpoint blocking the Ukrainian advance toward Nove.

The vehicle chosen was a BTR Sixty belonging to the Third Separate Assault Brigade. It was old, damaged, and no longer suitable for normal combat, but remained mobile. Instead of abandoning it, Ukrainian engineers installed cameras and a remote-control system, filled the armored vehicle with explosives, and turned it into a giant ground kamikaze drone.

The target was a fortified Russian position interfering with a simultaneous Ukrainian assault into Nove, with Russian troops protected underground, meaning smaller explosive-carrying ground drones or bomber drones might only partially damage the position without completely destroying it, so Ukraine needed something significantly more powerful.

The full-sized BTR provided exactly that, as its large internal volume allowed engineers to load a far greater quantity of explosives than any conventional ground drone could carry, while its armor and off-road mobility increased its chances of reaching the target. A reconnaissance drone followed overhead and helped correct its route as the unmanned vehicle approached the Russian position. The remote control meant no Ukrainian crew had to risk their lives during what was effectively a one-way mission. Once the BTR reached the strongpoint, it detonated, producing an explosion comparable in scale to the effect of a Kab glide bomb and destroyed the Russian stronghold, allowing the subsequent Ukrainian ground assault on Nove to proceed without hinder.

The Ukrainian NC Thirteen drone unit has also experimented within Operation Vivaldi by equipping small kamikaze ground robots with two disposable Bullspike grenade launchers. They were transported behind Russian lines by another unmanned platform before being released near enemy positions. They then approached the Russian fortifications in a building and fired their grenade launchers directly into them before finally moving closer and detonating themselves to finish off everyone inside.

The psychological effect of such operations is substantial, as Russian soldiers up to ten kilometers behind the frontline would normally never expect to suddenly receive short-range direct fire. Grenades arriving from nearby therefore create the impression that Ukrainian infantry has penetrated deep into the rear, causing additional panic and chaos among the Russian troops.

The Russian commanders, after receiving reports of apparent Ukrainian assault groups, can redirect reinforcements or react to a penetration that does not actually exist, while the Ukrainian robots can suppress and destroy the Russian positions and set up an ambush for the coming additional Russian troops.

At the same time, the Ukrainians also started using hand-held reconnaissance drones to provide surveillance, guidance, and tactical flexibility, while infantry moved forward after the Russian defenses were already disrupted. That creativity has become particularly important in a battlefield dominated by drones, where conventional frontal assaults can produce enormous casualties.  

Overall, Operation Vivaldi has demonstrated the functional value of the Ukrainian drone experiments, as the Third Army Corps is increasingly pushing machines into the most dangerous part of the assault first, preserving soldiers for clearing and consolidation. By combining massive unmanned breaching vehicles with smaller armed ground robots designed to create confusion behind Russian lines, Ukrainian forces break fortified positions, generate chaos, and then move assault troops against an enemy already shaken before direct combat even begins. Together, these tactics demonstrate how the Third Army Corps is reimagining drone warfare during Operation Vivaldi and is adapting different machines to specific battlefield problems.

May 16th, 2025. Tommaso Cioni signs a document transferring complete control of his finances, property, and personal affairs to his wife, Annie.

Eight months later, Annie's mother disappears.

Nancy Guthrie, 84 years old, vanished from her Tucson home on February 1st, 2026. Blood on the porch. Pacemaker disconnected at 2:28 AM. A masked figure caught on her doorbell camera just hours earlier.

But here's what nobody's asking: Why did Tommaso sign away control of everything he owned eight months before his mother-in-law disappeared? Was it routine paperwork for a real estate deal? Or was it preparation for something else entirely?

The document is called a durable power of attorney. It gives Annie complete authority over Tommaso's bank accounts, property transactions, and personal decisions—even if he becomes incapacitated, even if he's arrested, even if he flees.

And it was signed 240 days before Nancy vanished.

Investigators have collected DNA from a glove found 2 miles from Nancy's home. The FBI has reviewed over 13,000 tips. A $1 million reward has been offered.

But no arrests have been made.

Because the question isn't just who took Nancy. The question is: what was being prepared for eight months before she disappeared?
