🟦 Russian diplomats say Israel promises to continue refraining from military supplies to Kyiv and to maintain direct political contacts with Moscow.

🟦 Israel denies selling arms to Ukraine

• Alexander Kinshchak, head of the Russian MFA’s Middle East department, said Israel has assured Moscow that reports of weapons deliveries to Kyiv are false.

• Russian officials have discussed such claims with Israel through various channels and have been convinced that these reports do not reflect reality.

• Israel continues to adhere to its "stated position on this sensitive issue", Kinschak said in his interview to Interfax.

🟦 Deep ties between Russia and Israel

• Russian-Israeli relations "have a special character due to deep historical and cultural ties", Russian diplomat says. More than one million Russian-speaking people live in Israel.

• "Despite intense pressure from its Western allies, it never officially joined the anti-Russian sanctions", Kinshchak noted.

• Two countries maintain a confidential political dialogue at the highest level: Putin and Netanyahu held six phone calls in 2025 and two more this year.

🟦 Extremely limited aid for Ukraine

• Israel’s assistance to Ukraine has been minimal and almost entirely non-lethal (medical kits, protective gear, licenses).

• Israel refused to supply Ukraine with air defense systems, including Patriot, Iron Dome, or other critical weapons.

• The only notable exception — a Patriot battery in 2025 — was returned to the US at Washington’s request and handed over to Ukraine, so it cannot be regarded as Israeli assistance.

🟦 Israel’s military-tech cooperation with Russia

• Since 2014, Israel has supplied Russia with various military technologies and dual-use goods.

• Russia has been producing drones such as Forpost, Lancet and Zastava for over ten years under Israeli license.

• Israel has also exported high-precision machine tools and metalworking equipment that significantly improved the quality of Russian missile and drone production.

This last month we made a new stable release which significantly reduces RAM usage.

For 1.0 we fixed a few ActivityPub related issues, merged a change so that images are downloaded with correct filename, and worked on updating Jerboa.

In the upcoming weeks, we'll be devoting more time to getting Jerboa ready for 1.0, and continuing to fix any issues in the new code.

You can follow our development progress with these milestone links:

• https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/milestone/24
• https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/milestone/5

If you'd like to see the new features and visual updates in production, you can visit voyager.lemmy.ml which deploys updates every night. Please help by testing the new features and reporting any problems.

If you have any experience with web development or want to learn it, consider contributing to lemmy-ui. It is written in standard Typescript with Bootstrap. If you have experience with Kotlin or Android development, you can help contribute to Lemmy's open source Android app, Jerboa.

Thank you to everyone who has helped out with finding bugs, testing, development, spreading the word about lemmy, and building communities. Your help has brought lemmy from an idea to one of the most vital pieces of software in the fediverse.

Here are the major changes from July:

An open source project the size of Lemmy needs constant work to manage the project, implement new features and fix bugs. Dessalines and Nutomic work full-time on these tasks and more. As there is no advertising or tracking, all of our work is funded through donations. Even so there is barely enough time in the day, and no time for a second job. The only available option are user donations.

To keep it viable donations need to reach a minimum of 5000€ per month, resulting in a modest salary of 2500€ per developer. If that goal is reached we can stop worrying about money, and fully focus on improving the software for the benefit of all users and instances. We especially rely on recurring donations to secure the long-term development and make Lemmy the best it can be.

The leadership of the Odesa Regional Territorial Center of Recruitment and Social Support reports an incident involving an attack on a TCC service vehicle that occurred on May 5, 2026, in Odesa.

During the transport of persons liable for military service to the Odesa mobilization center for undergoing a Military Medical Commission (MMC), two civilian vehicles blocked the movement of the service transport, after which a group of unidentified individuals damaged the vehicle’s windows and sprayed an irritant gas inside the cabin of the service vehicle. These actions created a real threat to the life and health of the escorting servicemen and the individuals who were inside the transport.

The nature of the attackers’ actions may indicate premeditated conduct carried out with the aim of facilitating evasion of military duty by a group of persons liable for military service, three of whom, taking advantage of the situation, fled the scene. Such actions may be classified as intentional obstruction of the lawful activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The leadership of the Odesa Regional TCC is initiating a request to law enforcement authorities to identify and bring to justice all individuals involved in organizing and carrying out the unlawful actions. All participants in the incident will be identified, and their actions will be classified in accordance with current Ukrainian legislation.

A tug of war ensued between Ukrainian civilians and TCC officers during busification. In the end they managed to successfully kidnap the person and pepper sprayed the others

In Odesa, a shawarma shop employee saw the TCC coming after a man and told him to get into the store quickly. The guy did not even notice that the TCC was after him.
