Support freedom for everyone, equality, liberal values, democracy & liberal rule-based world order. Revisionist dictatorship is a threat to all of us - resist!
If Belarus attacks, all critical infrastructure keeping Lukashenko in power will be destroyed in the first hours, says Yaroslav Shtilerman, chief designer and co-owner of Fire Point.
Indeed, Russia had better evacuate Crimea, Kherson oblast and Zaporizhzhia oblast to begin with.
Do you think Putin would survive that politically?
When Putin is ousted the war will end.
A parallel is Germany in November 1918.
A whole new level..
Russians complaining that Ukrainian Forces are now outsourcing drone operations to gamers all over the world by connecting hundreds of drones to a virtual server and inviting skilled drone operators to take out battalions, with cash prizes awarded for each.
IRAN IS REARMING WITH ADVANCED WEAPONS
An Iranian Army spokesperson says Tehran has “serious plans” in two areas:
1. Domestic weapons production
2. Procurement of advanced equipment from “friendly countries”
“We will certainly be equipped with more advanced systems in the coming days.”
So:
For several months, members of Black Spark worked inside that very "special economic zone" Alabuga. They gathered information from servers and discreetly downloaded databases on everyone involved in the assembly of "Geran-2" and "Geran-3" drones.
We also worked at the factory. During the assembly of the latest batches of UAVs, we embedded "surprises" from Black Spark. When operators attempt to launch these drones, they will face "unpleasant consequences". This will reduce the number of war criminals directly involved in launching "Geran" drones at Ukrainian cities.
The Alabuga website has also been hacked - this is our response to the recruitment of 15-year-old children to assemble lethal drones. And in Alabuga, they're actually proud of this. We already have lists of everyone involved. After a brief conversation, some agreed to help us gain access to the production facility.

There's major panic in Alabuga right now; they had to physically shut down their servers, and FSB agents are checking everyone who might be involved in the system breach.
Black Spark has once again demonstrated that our capabilities are growing and that there are fewer and fewer impregnable objects in Russia.

True underground Russian opposition has infiltrated Russia's massive Alabuga drone production operations, working inside for months, copying all its servers, now making all sensitive technological and staff information available.
The average life expectancy of a new Russian recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once sent onto the battlefield, they survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes. @peterfrankopan https://t.co/W3UhBerdH0
Our warriors began Ukraine’s Constitution Day with great accuracy. Last night, our long-range sanctions reached two oil refineries in Russia. The Slavyansk oil refinery in the Krasnodar region was hit – about 300 kilometers from the frontline. We also reached a refinery in the Yaroslavl region, approximately 700 kilometers from our border.
We continue our operations that weaken Russia’s ability to wage this war. Each of our long-range sanctions means fewer resources serving Russia’s war machine, and another step toward peace. We will continue to respond to Russian terror. I thank our warriors for these results! I am grateful to everyone who helps us. Everyone who defends Ukraine also upholds the power of the Constitution.
NEW: Iran has continued to use force to try to deter the United States from undermining Iranian efforts to control the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s strikes against Bahrain may also be part of an ongoing Iranian effort to coerce the Gulf states to accept Iran’s control of the strait and deter them from supporting US efforts to undermine Iran’s control.

The road to victory is lit with oil lamps. This one is in Slavyansk-on-Kuban.
And soon, every Russian refinery, oil depot, and pumping station is going to look like this due to drone sanctions.
You think the summer is hot now? Just wait, it'll get hotter. In many ways. 🔥🔥🔥
The Kremlin is scrambling to respond to an intensifying campaign of Ukrainian drone attacks reaching ever deeper into Russia, hitting key arms production facilities and causing fuel shortages across the country. https://t.co/QshJUil4B2
Putin has „achieved“ something what no Soviet or Russian leader achieved since 1945: scarcity in fuel. We increasingly hear the word „collapse“, as uttered by this truck driver who comments on the situation while driving next to the sea of stranded vehicles.
HODGES: Crimea is in deep trouble right now. And the West should not start pressing Ukraine, "Hey, take it easy."
Because Ukrainians are getting closer to possibility of total isolation of Crimean peninsula, making all Russian assets there untenable.
The West also has an opportunity to really severely wreck Russia's oil and gas industry, and their export of it.
All of that would have significant effect on Russian side, Ukrainian side, and also how the rest of us view this conflict.
So, don't take your foot off the pedal. Now is the time that the West should be pressing the gas pedal to the floor.
In Russia, young men are being kidnapped and sent to the meat grinder in Ukraine.
In the coming months, these operations will become a daily occurrence. They are a precursor to the mobilization expected after Russia's September "elections."
Putin is getting desperate.
Reports have appeared that Lunin has been detained for 11 days, and his home was searched by Russian authorities.
There are several other Russian bloggers who are allowed to voice criticism against Putin - obviously, this is coordinated by the Kremlin.
Increasingly likely that Putin will soon need these 720,000 Russian troops NOT in Ukraine, but cracking skulls on the streets of Russian cities.
The fun is beginning..
Every Russian defense facility that serves the war against Ukraine is a just target for our long-range sanctions.
Last night, FP-5 Flamingo missiles successfully struck the Titan-Barrikady facility in Volgograd. It is a major industrial complex where the enemy produces artillery systems and specialized military equipment, including components for missile launch systems used in attacks against our people. Confirmed strikes were followed by a fire on the plant's premises. I thank the warriors of our Defense Forces for their precision.
The reach of Ukraine's long-range sanctions continues to expand. And it is precisely our pressure, day after day, that lays the groundwork for a dignified peace in the end. I am grateful to every Ukrainian engineer and warrior who is making our long-range capabilities possible. Glory to Ukraine!

“Lavrov has been Russia’s foreign minister since what feels like the time of Jesus Christ. And in all those years, not a single useful thing has come out of his mouth. So don’t pay too much attention to Mr. Lavrov.”
