🔥 Russia’s Supply Lifeline Burns on the Lyman Front
Drone operators from Ukraine's 63rd Mechanized Brigade continue targeting Russian transport and supply vehicles on the Lyman front, destroying another group of vans used to sustain frontline operations.
The strikes come amid a record month for Ukrainian attacks on Russian vehicle fleets across the battlefield. In May alone, the brigade destroyed 88 vehicles, its highest total since deploying to the Lyman sector.
The brigade also reported its strongest results of the year in artillery and MLRS destruction, while air defense and electronic warfare units downed more than 2,500 Russian drones, including 725 fixed wing UAVs.
Russian forces have continued offensive efforts around Lyman throughout 2026, but the sector remains firmly contested. Ukrainian units are increasingly focusing on logistics, transport, and drone operations to limit the enemy's ability to sustain pressure at the front.
KASPAROV: We’ve had 20 sanctions packages. How come Russian missiles that hitting Ukrainians and killing people every day are still mostly built with parts and components from sanctions list? How many criminal cases have been opened against sanctions violators? Practically none.
Yesterday, Mark Fedorov passed away — a Ukrainian serviceman who became a symbol of an incredible fight for life after suffering a devastating combat injury and undergoing more than 80 surgeries.
His life story was not an easy one.
Mark had previously spent time in prison. But when Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, he volunteered to defend Ukraine.
Despite numerous difficulties and bureaucratic obstacles, he never abandoned that decision.
Eventually, Mark joined the 501st Marine Battalion.
There, he not only mastered military skills but also trained as a combat medic, learning how to save the lives of his fellow soldiers.
He fought in the Kharkiv region, took part in combat operations, and served on some of the most difficult sections of the front.
During fighting in the Kursk direction, Mark suffered an extremely severe wound.
His internal organs were critically damaged, and he faced serious complications.
Doctors gave little reason for hope.
But he refused to give up.
While the medical team fought for his life, Mark fought alongside them.
One surgery.
Then another.
And another.
In total, he underwent more than 80 operations.
Months of hospitals, rehabilitation, and pain that is difficult even to imagine.
Yet Mark endured.
After dozens of surgeries and an exhausting recovery, he returned to life and began making plans for the future.
Following treatment, Mark wanted to engage in public service, help veterans, and show through his own example that a person can change their life no matter how difficult their past may have been.
Even after his severe injury and countless surgeries, he continued to face new challenges. His father publicly fought to protect his son's rights during treatment and rehabilitation. Through it all, Mark never lost faith and continued planning for the future.
He often spoke about faith, prayer, and hope.
About how even in the darkest moments, a person must not lose their humanity or their sense of purpose.
Yesterday, his heart stopped beating.
The story of Mark Fedorov is not only a story of war.
It is a story of a second chance.
The story of a man who had a difficult past but consciously chose to defend Ukraine during the country's darkest hour.
A reminder that a person's past does not always define them.
Sometimes, it is their actions that do.
Mark Fedorov gave his life for the freedom of Ukraine.
Eternal memory.
Deepest condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones. 🇺🇦🕯️

🇺🇦🇪🇺❗️After successful ballistic tests (interceptor) FP-7, Fire Point co-owner Shtilerman called on Europe to accelerate the implementation of the Freyja project
🔹One interception of a ballistic missile by the Patriot system costs at least $6 million. Stillerman sets a target goal of investing less than $1 million, and ideally up to $500 thousand. A launcher for four missiles, according to the developer, will cost about $150 thousand.
Any buyer, any country that purchases it, will be sure that neither the manufacturer nor the country-seller will ever be able to disable this system, - Shtillerman emphasized the advantages of the system.

@AnnaDeMilanese Ich sehe das Problem irgendwie nicht. Entweder man lässt alles weiterlaufen und statt nach Russland wird das Material in die EU verkauft oder man verstaatlicht es. Es gibt genug Wege um den Fluss nach RU zu stoppen und Jobs zu behalten...
Schwedens Spezialpolizei hat den Chef des Aluminium-Schmelzwerks Kubal in Sundsvall verhaftet – wegen Sanktionsverletzungen. Kubal gehört Rusal – Putins Lieblingskonzern. Dasselbe Rusal das in Irland die Alumina-Fabrik Aughinish in Co. Limerick besitzt. Schwedische Steuerbehörden in einem vertraulichen Bericht: Oligarch Oleg Deripaska – unter EU-Sanktionen wegen Unterstützung von Russlands Kriegsmaschinerie – kontrolliert Rusal noch immer. Irlands Taoiseach Martin: Sanktionen gegen Aughinish wären „selbstzerstörerisch." OCCRP hat nachgewiesen dass irisches Aluminium über Rusal in russische Raketen fließt. Schweden verhaftet. Irland schaut weg.
Micheál Martin ist grundsätzlich pro-ukrainisch und pro-EU. Aber hier steckt er in einer klassischen Zwickmühle:
475 direkte Jobs in Aughinish. Mehrere hundert indirekte. Foynes und Askeaton – kleine Städte die komplett von der Fabrik abhängen. Wenn Aughinish schließt – sterben diese Gemeinden.
Das ist keine böse Absicht. Das ist das klassische Problem wenn Russland seine Abhängigkeiten tief in europäische Volkswirtschaften eingebaut hat.
Es schmerzt wenn man sie herausreißt.
Aber Schweden zeigt: Man kann handeln. Kubal hat auch Jobs. Trotzdem haben sie verhaftet. Europäische Verantwortung. https://t.co/eQPzzXy1Bf 🇸🇪🇮🇪🇷🇺🇪🇺🇺🇦
