All six Kalibr missiles were shot down last night, and 31 out of 33 cruise missiles were intercepted, meaning whenever the necessary capabilities are available, our warriors deliver truly high interception rates. That is the only explanation for the problem with ballistic missiles – insufficient number of interceptors. This is especially true for Patriots.
We have proven to all our partners both the need, and more importantly, the possibility of providing greater protection of lives. It is simply nonsensical that, in today’s world, production has still not been scaled up to the level that is actually needed to protect people from ballistic terror. We have long made the case that we are capable of producing such defensive weapons ourselves. If Ukraine were granted U.S. licenses to produce Patriots, our own production would be sufficient both to protect Ukraine and to help partners in need.
We are in contact with everyone around the world who can provide air defense missiles now. This is our top priority.
Z-blogger Golman is grim about the strike on the Omsk oil refinery:
"No matter how much I shouted, no matter how much I warned - nobody gave a damn. Gazprom failed to provide proper protection for the plant."
‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺 Zelensky just drew a massive, bloody target directly over Russia's elite nerve centers, warning Putin that a storm of thousands of drones is about to shatter the illusion of safety in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
In a fierce, uncompromising statement, the Ukrainian President announced a dramatic escalation of deep-theater strikes, promising to bring the full horror of the war directly to the doorsteps of Russia's ruling class. Zelensky made it clear that as long as Ukrainian strikes avoided Russia's twin capitals, Putin felt insulated from his own aggression. However, the strategy is shifting completely: Ukraine intends to rain over a thousand drones down on Moscow and St. Petersburg to force the Kremlin and its trembling elites to face reality, panic for their lives, and run for cover beyond the Ural Mountains.
This is the ultimate psychological and strategic masterstroke to break the back of the Russian occupation. By turning Russia's most affluent, decision-making capitals into active war zones, Ukraine is stripping Putin of his domestic stability and hitting the elites exactly where they sleep. When the very people funding and ordering the slaughter of Ukrainians find themselves hiding in bomb shelters, the pressure on the Kremlin will become completely unsustainable—making Putin's retreat from Moscow the literal gateway to a Ukrainian victory.
When our deep strikes were not reaching Moscow and St. Petersburg, Putin did not think much about it. He understood that the war was far from the Kremlin. Of course, once he feels what is happening in Moscow, he will begin to understand what is happening in the Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions. He’ll begin to grasp the reality of the situation.
When not one hundred drones but a thousand start reaching Moscow, and when he feels it and sees it, he will be advised to move somewhere beyond the Urals. That will be a moment that opens a new chapter on the path toward ending the war. The farther Putin is from Moscow, the closer the end of the war and peace will be.
He fears for his life. And then there are the elites. Where do the Russian elites live? Moscow and St. Petersburg – the two major cities. Those places will be reached, because that is where they make the decisions to kill us.
That is why deep strikes have had, and continue to have, a major impact. We must keep working on this. It is constant, difficult, and daily work. We must all stay focused and energized. The heroes are those on the front line. And all of us, the entire state, must keep carrying shells to them. If we do, we will bring a just and strong peace for Ukraine. That is what victory means for us.

Inwestycję za 32 miliony euro finansują Turcja i Katar. Pytanie więc, kto naprawdę kształtuje dziś Europę? Obce państwa pompują miliony w swoje wpływy, a politycy UE patrzą w drugą stronę. I to ma być „integracja”?
Europa rezygnuje z własnej tożsamości krok po kroku i jeszcze każe nam udawać, że wszystko jest w porządku. To nie jest przypadek. To jest lot w przepaść.

Seit #Russland|s Vollinvasion verstärkt die #NATO ihre Ostflanke. Ohne die #USA müsste #EUropa nun Schlüsselfähigkeiten selbst aufbauen, Kräfte besser verzahnen und (nukleare) Abschreckung erneuern, damit sie politisch und militärisch glaubwürdig bleibt.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump personally called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to review suspension of top US team World Cup goal scorer Folarin Balogun, NYT reports.
His red card has since been reversed, allowing him to play against Belgium.
Folarin Balogun stand plötzlich und ungewollt im Mittelpunkt der Weltöffentlichkeit. Beim Aus gegen Belgien ist ihm, wie dem gesamten US-Team, kaum etwas gelungen. https://t.co/PZiuSrMAcN
