Occupied Crimea is out of gas. Overnight, Ukraine torched Russia's refinery that refills it.
The Slavyansk plant in Krasnodar Krai—about 300 kilometers from the front and one of the main sources of fuel trucked onto the peninsula—went up in a fire so large that satellites flagged it massively before dawn.
Monitors called it "a very fat target."
On the same night, Ukrainian drones reached 700 kilometers deeper into Russia, sending a smoke column over a top-five refinery near Yaroslavl.
Zelenskyy framed both as "long-range sanctions": less money for Moscow, less fuel for the war.

Peter Fouché, medico di guerra e volontario britannico, è morto per difendere l'Ucraina.
Peter ha salvato oltre 200 vite dei nostri difensori.
Nel marzo 2022, Peter Fouché è arrivato in Ucraina come volontario. In seguito, si è unito alle Guardie Territoriali.
@Justinhead1982 I vividly remember watching and listening to Mr Fouché two years ago WHEN he was releasing ALL the anger & frustration that I was ALSO feeling at the time .. it HAS to be the MOST desperately passionate & UNFORGETTABLE speech I've ever witnessed from a non-Ukrainian volunteer🙏🪦
@Justinhead1982 100% agree with you. This speech is historical. It should be playing on a loop in museums to tell future generations how badly we fucked up as supposedly "civilised" world.
It's two years since combat medic, Peter Fouché, was killed by ruzzians on the frontlines in Ukraine. Please remember him 🕯️
Pete's "I'm ashamed to be a Westerner" speech, from Feb 2024, should be added to the annals of great war speeches for all the wrong reasons!
I still hear desperation in the voices of 🇺🇦 volunteers and fundraisers today so keep donating to verified orgs supporting the Ukrainian war effort!
On June 26, former Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov did not die of natural causes but was reportedly killed in an accident.
According to these claims, the incident took place at Vladimir Putin's residence in Valdai, where Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko was urgently summoned following the shutdown of communications relay stations. The account alleges that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had issued Lukashenko an ultimatum: either Belarus would disable the relay stations allegedly used by Russia to guide missiles, or Ukraine would destroy them with drones. After the relay stations were shut down, Putin reportedly became furious and ordered Lukashenko to come to Valdai immediately.
The story further claims that a fight broke out during the meeting, with members of Putin's entourage allegedly attacking Lukashenko. Lukashenko reportedly fell onto Sergei Ivanov, who allegedly suffocated after choking on fecal matter. According to the account, medics who arrived at the scene were unable to save the former defense minister.
The alleged fate of Alexander Lukashenko remains unknown.
@UkrReview Nothing signals a crumbling empire like moscovites queuing for petrol in Moscow. The grand victory in Kyiv became a line at the pump. The Kremlin drained the provinces to keep the capital looking functional, and still fails.
⛽️🚙 Moscow, Naro-Fominsk, Muscovites are reaping the benefits of the SVO, the queues are only growing.
The Kremlin regime will suck gasoline out of all regions, just to hide the collapse in the capital.
As I said, Putin is well aware of how quickly these online rants can spiral out of control. Wagner showed just how fast discontent can gather momentum.
Reports now suggest Alexander Lunin has been detained, and after he travelled to Moscow, Russian security forces searched his family home overnight. According to his wife, officers seized “everything they found” ,flash drives, computers, laptops, a hard drive and even nunchucks. She also says Lunin has since stopped communicating.
Whether this was a precaution or the beginning of a criminal case remains unclear, but the Kremlin has already acknowledged it was aware of Lunin’s viral video threatening a new mutiny over alleged abuses within the Russian army - Reuters

Gasoline mania continues to sweep Russia, where widespread 1990's style black market operations are now even struggling to supply the desperate masses.
In this video, a black marketeer is king, serving out a maximum of 10 liters per person.
🤡 Putin calls Ukrainian strikes on Russia "terrorist acts"
According to the dictator, Ukraine is "retreating along the entire front line," so it has "switched to open terrorist actions."
The man who started a full-scale war against his neighbor 4+ years ago is now upset about the consequences.
Classic Kremlin logic.
🔥Ukraine carried out another long-range overnight operation, hitting two oil refineries inside Russia.
One in the Krasnodar region and another in the Yaroslavl region, around 700 km from the Ukrainian border.
Happy Constitution Day to everyone defending Ukraine, on the battlefield and beyond. 🇺🇦
