Today, our long-range sanctions once again worked to limit Russia’s oil revenues, which it uses to finance the war and the killing of Ukrainians.
Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck the aggressor’s facilities more than 1,300 kilometers from the front line. The Bashneft-Novoil refinery was hit in Bashkortostan. In the Yaroslavl region, nearly 700 kilometers from our border, the Slavneft-YANOS refinery was hit.
Our responses to Russian aggression in the Black Sea were also successful. In particular, two military patrol boats and shadow fleet vessels were struck.
I thank all the warriors of the Defense Forces who are systematically expanding our long-range capabilities and thereby increasing the chances for diplomacy. Russia must choose peace.
Six of the top 10 U.S. oil companies paid single-digit or NEGATIVE federal tax rates last year.
Not "almost zero."
NEGATIVE. The IRS wrote them a check.
Duke Energy: -10.2%
Dominion Energy: -16.6%
ExxonMobil: 1.3%
You paid every dollar you owed. Every. Single. One.
Said it before. Saying it again as it only gets truer by the day: AMERICAN DETERRENCE IS DEAD, which is a betrayal of those who fought and died over the last 80 years to create it. UnAmerican.
New Mexico sues the Department of Justice and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, saying the federal government blocked the state’s ability to investigate the sex crimes of financier Jeffrey Epstein at a ranch there. https://t.co/SijN4WxXJv
Sweden is handing over the seized cargo ship Caffa to Ukraine.
The vessel was detained off Trelleborg in March at Ukraine’s request over suspected links to Russia’s shadow fleet.
This needs to happen more, thank you Sweden!
BREAKING: A group of Democratic lawmakers have asked the Pentagon’s watchdog to open an investigation after it was shown that 15 companies with investment from President Trump’s sons have garnered $3.2 billion in federal contracts, investments and loans.
Sen. WELCH: Is there no line that the Senate won’t allow Donald Trump to cross? It confirmed Bondi, Hegseth, Patel, Noem. And it’s about to confirm Blanche. The President is abusing his authority every day and that’s shame on him. But the Senate is failing to use its power.
Last night, Kyiv looked like this. Russia targeted the capital with 4 Zircon/Oniks missiles, 24 Iskander-M/S-400 missiles, and 115 strike UAVs including Shahed (mostly jet-powered), Gerbera, and Italmas types, as well as "Parodiya" decoy drones (98 shot down). The Ukrainian Air Force reported that air defense forces unfortunately failed to shoot down any Russian missiles overnight.
🎯 Every mission begins with finding the target. It ends with eliminating it.
The UAV pilots of Ukraine's 7th Air Assault Corps are hunting down Russian forces every day—striking personnel, armored vehicles, shelters, firing positions, and other military targets with precision.
This is what modern warfare looks like: technology, skill, and relentless pressure on the battlefield.
🎥 Watch their combat work.

😂 Wildberries management has begun stealing goods from entire logistics hubs and then recording them as "destroyed by drones", - Babel
This particularly applies to valuable items such as jewelry and electronics.
The goods are being "evacuated" from the company's warehouses that weren't attacked, but according to the documents, they still remain there and, if the attacks continue, will be written off as destroyed.
Russian media are discussing this scheme, noting that thousands of entrepreneurs have already suffered from this practice.
