Year 5 of Russia’s 3-day war. Russian authorities have started to place mobile toilets along the waiting lines for fuel in the Russian capital and elsewhere. „Everything is under control.“

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

They said sanctions “don’t reach russia.”

Now there are fuel queues in Chita — 7,000 km from Ukraine.

They didn’t account for how far Ukrainian sanctions can reach.

JAPAN’S CRUDE OIL INVENTORIES RECORD LARGEST DRAWDOWN IN HISTORY

Japan’s crude oil reserves have posted the largest drawdown on record, marking an unprecedented decline in the country’s inventory levels.

The sharp reduction highlights tightening crude supply dynamics and sustained demand for energy imports.

The development could support higher global crude prices if inventory replenishment remains slow amid ongoing geopolitical and supply uncertainties.

[Black Spark @Black_Spark2]

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.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

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!

[WarMonitor🇺🇦🇬🇧 @WarMonitor3]

Ukrainian forces overnight using newly produced Flamingo missiles slammed the Titan-Barrikad factory 550km into Russia with 3 of the missiles finding their target.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: The US Pentagon delayed publicly announcing US strikes on Iran until after the US stock market had closed at 4 PM ET on Friday, per NBC News.

The timing of the announcement was reportedly intended to "reduce the immediate impact on financial markets."

Multiple Ukrainian FP-5 “Flamingo” Cruise Missiles slam into the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology’s “Titan-Barrikady” Defense Plant, which designs and produces parts for artillery and ballistic missile launchers, in the Southern Russian city of Volgograd.

In March, Canada forged a new Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Japan — and we’re already seeing results.

“I’ve been following all the Major Projects Office projects very closely and what's coming up. And obviously, there’s been a focus on the Arctic. Certainly, I would say if you wanted the Mackenzie Valley Highway, this is positive news.

I agree with the premier [N.W.T. Premier R.J. Simpson]. It does indicate that the government’s quite serious about it. But I think there’s probably some background politicking around this too.

Just the fact that the [federal, provincial and territorial] energy ministers meeting was in Yellowknife this week, they probably wanted to have an announcement of some kind. And this was, you know, a consideration to consider the project as a project of national interest,” says MLI’s Director of Natural Resources, Energy, and Environment Heather Exner-Pirot (@ExnerPirot) to @CBCNorth’s Shannon Scott (@S_E_Scott).

Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Defence of Finland: Canada really hit our radar screen in security and defence when, after Russia invaded Crimea, Canada took over the forward land forces lead in Latvia. Canada really projected stability in the Baltic Sea and in our eyes, Canada became a Baltic Sea power and NATO's eastern flank power.

[NEXTA @nexta_tv]

A mysterious visit by Lukashenko to Putin took place on the last day of Zelensky’s ultimatum

The meeting in Valdai began three hours ago and is still ongoing. There is little pleasant for Lukashenko in it: the dictator flew in to Putin “on the carpet” to clarify his mysterious manoeuvres.

The meeting is being held without cameras, and there will be no final statements. Everything is taking place in an atmosphere of maximum secrecy.

And here, the “unbendable” was bent — both by Zelensky and Putin. The President of Ukraine issued an ultimatum to the Belarusian dictator regarding Russian signal repeaters (and not only), and later stated that Lukashenko had switched them all off.

For Putin, to whom Lukashenko has completely sold himself, such activity cannot be pleasing.

He understands that the Minsk vassal feels his weakness and is therefore trying to distance himself.

So in the best case for Lukashenko, he is currently being severely reprimanded, and in the worst case — even beaten.

Putin will try by all means to drag Lukashenko into the war or, at the very least, use him to stage provocations against Ukraine and NATO countries.

Lukashenko, looking at burning Moscow and blazing refineries across Russia, does not feel much enthusiasm for this “action”.

This means he is afraid — and not without reason. The “Madyar plan” to strike 500 regime targets is holding back his aggressiveness.

[Ned Middles @NedMiddles1]

When BILL MURRAY filmed KINGPIN, they needed to shoot him bowling 3 strikes. The Farrelly Brothers told the hundreds of extras to keep their energy up because it could take him a while. Murray immediately rolls 3 strikes in a row and the crowd erupted in genuine amazement.

[WarMonitor🇺🇦🇬🇧 @WarMonitor3]

Sources have told me the Russian security services are actively attempting to acquire intelligence to locate key government officials in Kyiv order to conduct potential assassination strikes on Ukrainian government quarters in Kyiv a significant escalation.

- Giorgia Meloni
Prime Minister of Italy:;

"It doesn't seem particularly effective to tell Ukraine that it must withdraw from Ukraine.
That sounds more like a propaganda initiative than a genuine peace proposal. There can be no true peace if it means Ukraine's surrender.

The choice before us is simple: either we defend international law and the sovereignty of nations, or we accept that the strongest can impose their will by force.

We have chosen to stand on the side of freedom.
Italy will continue to stand with Ukraine."

Just, wow, she is great😉

[(((Tendar))) @Tendar]

Social media channels are flooded with examples of long lines anywhere in Russia. This is Chita, Zabaykalsky region, which is more than 5,000 km (3,200 miles) from the Ukrainian border. It looks like a collapse in fuel distribution. Especially trucks are paralyzed.

A good summary. Working with the Americans is more than just the F35’s MADL link; especially since the F22, F15EX, & F-16Vs assigned to NORAD don’t have MADL either. We need to differentiate between real technical issues (none here) vs. MAGA obstructionism to help Boeing.
