A Russian occupier filmed himself hiding inside a civilian home while casually counting the tanks they concealed between people’s houses.
Russians shelled and wrecked those same homes, and they didn’t even deny it.
That’s the price of Russian occupation. The road to Mariupol was paved with the bodies of innocent people. That reality cannot be erased from any discussion of “peace.”

Trump wants you to think gas prices are going up because of Ukraine when actually it’s because he fucked up in the Middle East. Strikes on Russian oil have been going on for months and the market barely changed.
Ukraine should continue defending itself
Overnight into Sept 20, Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck the Moscow refinery in Kapotnya. Two primary distillation units were likely hit, ELOU-AVT-6 and Euro+, together covering 100% of primary capacity, so processing may be halted.
In June it took two raids two days apart. Now both lines were likely hit in one night 18 km from the Kremlin. Reuters later put repairs at 6+ months at best, some analysts not before 2027, so this likely hit freshly restored gear. Zelensky says a logistics site was hit too.

According to preliminary assessments, the attack on Gazpromneft’s Moscow Refinery in Kapotnya could have hit the AVT-6 primary crude distillation unit (the total processing capacity of the two units is 12 million tons of crude oil per year) and the isomerization unit (a key unit for high-octane gasoline production).
The Moscow Refinery covered 40-50% of Moscow and Moscow region's demand for gasoline and diesel fuel, as well as supplied the capital's airports with aviation fuel.
⚡️ Moscow has faced its largest-ever drone attack: a refinery in Kapotnya is on fire, drones hit residential buildings, and there are fatalities
Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed that Russian air defenses had intercepted more than 1,600 drones “at all lines of defense,” including around 450 on approach to Moscow.
And now watch how “one of those 450 drones supposedly shot down on approach to Moscow” hits the Kapotnya oil refinery 😂
So Sobyanin eventually had to admit that not every drone was intercepted: he reported damage to a facility on the refinery grounds, where a major fire is now raging.
There were also reports of drones striking or crashing near residential buildings.
In Sofyino, a drone hit a three-story apartment building: one woman was killed and five others were injured, including two children.
In the Orekhovo-Zuyevo district, an elderly man was killed after a private house was destroyed and caught fire.
In Ramenskoye, around 400 people were evacuated from a 21-story apartment building after the roof caught fire.
Long-time Ukrainian journalist Dmitri Gordon says that within the next two weeks, the Ukrainian military will inflict a catastrophe upon Russia of scale of enormity that it will unite all Ukrainians and "give us wings"
"They are fucked", he predicts.
