Two more children killed. Yesterday Russian terrorists again attacked civilian targets in Kramatorsk. For this and other terrible crimes, Putin and others responsible must be tried just like the fascists in Nuremberg in 1946
- russian Lavrov:
"Let me repeat again: our army never specially chooses civilian facilities as targets and never fires just for nothing. All strikes target military infrastructure sites"
🙄
The Russians are targeting residential areas every day, sleeping children and entire families die under the rubble.
So many strikes on civilian cars on the roads.
Such a liar.!🤢🤢
Hope this war hell will end asap🙈
BROWDER: Russia is getting hit harder and harder. And for a country that was once viewed as a superpower, precisely because of its strong military, it can no longer be viewed as such.
And without a strong military, Russia kind of has nothing, because its economy is not very big.
The size of Russian economy is smaller than Italy’s, smaller than the state of New York.
So, Russia is not a superpower, and it really does put Russia in a very sort of small box as far as world policy is concerned.
@Valavuori Egyptin hylätty maali oli tähän mennessä tod.näk. koko turneen hienoin. Sääli, ettei VARin pinna (ohjeistus?) antanut myöten päästää tuossa kohtaa Egyptiä kahden maalin johtoon. Seuraava olikin sitten jo pakko hyväksyä.
Maledetti, hanno ucciso un'intera famiglia che si nascondeva nell'atrio della propria casa. 11 morti, 46 feriti, si cerca ancora.
Mi ricordo ancora quando nel 2022 gridavamo "NATO close the sky", era molte morti fa. La neutralità, la lentezza e l'indecisione aiutano sempre e solo l'aggressore. 💔
President Zelenskyy:
"Our Warriors showed good results today in shooting down drones and cruise missiles, but unfortunately not Russian ballistic missiles. The reason is the insufficient supply of interceptor missiles.
It is crucial that the world - above all the United States and our European partners - leave the NATO Summit in Ankara with strong decisions to strengthen our air defense and, therefore, protect the lives of ordinary people.
As long as missiles for Patriot systems remain in our allies’ warehouses, they only encourage Russia to keep 'defeating' residential buildings.
The United States and Europe have the capabilities to stop this terror."

Trump is the most socialist president in American history, and combined with his nationalist, autocratic tendencies and policies, it makes him a National Socialist in a way that isn’t manipulative or ironic at all, as it was used in the 30's.
"We are getting close to getting it done," he has been saying for ages. In reality, he has only managed to delay it by applying all the pressure on Ukraine and none at all on russia.
If we are getting close to getting it done, it is despite Trump, not thanks to him.
Day 1595 of my 3 day war. To prevent imperialists discovering location of my front line bunker in Moscow, we camouflaged the inside of it.
I remain a master strategist.
Venäjän uhkailu ei ole yllätys.Tämä on ollut tiedossa koko ajan: Moskova pyrkii painostamaan Suomea aina, kun vahvistamme puolustustamme ja Naton pelotetta. Lakimuutos ei tuo ydinaseita Suomeen vaan poistaa Venäjälle hyödyllisen kansallisen rajoitteen.

Russian 'Z-blogger' Golman updates on the situation in Russia:
"Voronezh is being hit, microelectronics are being destroyed, there's f*ck-all at the gas stations. Their [Ukrainians'] plan is to cut off Crimea, and they're systematically striking. Tyumen is being struck, and all that's left is to strike Omsk. The country is in f*cking disaster. We're being destroyed."
@ZelenskyyUa@joncoopertweets I, as an American, am very proud of the Ukrainian people, their military, and their tenacity to save the country from evil.
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!
A Moscow resident wonders:
"Does anyone know what's going on in Moscow? Not a single gas station has 100-octane fuel. Rosneft is closed. Is something happening?"
Someone tell her that this is Putin's "SMO" going exactly according to plan.
Today's Ukrainian strike on the Moscow oil refinery needs to be viewed not as a single attack at one more Russian oil refinery but as part of a systemic Ukrainian campaign against Moscow's fuel infrastructure - Ukrainian expert Serhii Misiura.
Ukrainian strikes within the last month happened in various places across Russia: ports, reservoir parks, oil depots, export infrastructure, objects in Crimea, in the Baltics and the south of Russia. Although pressure on Russia's oil industry in general is necessary and a positive event, the main goal is now seen more clearly: Moscow.
Strikes on Volodarskaya Line Production and Dispatch Station, Solnechnogorsk Oil Pumping Station and the Moscow oil refinery essentially became the turning point in this campaign. The target is Moscow Ring Oil Product Pipeline, a unique pipeline system more than 400 km long that provides Moscow with fuel.
Moscow oil refinery is one of the key objects of this system. It refines over 10 million tons of oil per year and covers up to 70% of Moscow and Moscow region's needs for fuel. The refinery controls about 35-40% of Moscow's fuel market. Basically, about 30% of cars in Moscow use gas or diesel from this plant.
The Moscow Ring Oil Product Pipeline is also crucial for aviation - it is used to deliver fuel to the largest airports in the area, including Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo airports. Any disruptions in the system create additional risks for all logistics in the region (and it's important to note that many Russian cargo routes go through Moscow airports).
Moscow's oil ring is not autonomous. It depends on supplies from large oil refineries and external pumping stations. Hence, Ukrainian strikes on various oil infrastructure objects in different regions of Russia are starting to form a clear picture. Ukraine is executing consistent and systemic pressure on critical supply nodes of the Russian oil infrastructure.
If the Ukrainian strategy continues, for Russia, this will mean not just problems with oil exports or fuel shortages in the Russian regions - this will directly influence Moscow city.

BROWDER: Ukrainian isolation of Crimea is a humiliation for Russia. They're finding themselves in positions they thought were perfectly defended, that are no longer defensible.
It is going to cause great pain to Russians, level of pain neither Russians nor Putin were expecting.
Ukrainians have now figured out that they can isolate Crimea economically by ensuring no goods go in or out, because they are blowing up the trucks as they try to enter.
They are also making it impossible for the soldiers stationed in Crimea to be resupplied. I think this could have a very negative effect on Russia’s ability to continue defending Crimea.
