The sanctions against Russia are so lax that even Putin's cronies are able to buy western jets and expand their luxury lifestyles.

In the Leningrad Oblast of Russia, about 25% of the 15th Naval Arsenal near Bolshaya Izhora appears to have been destroyed. If you zoom in on Google Earth Pro on a PC, you'll see there were piles of ammo scattered in the forest area.

Hmmm...Russian milblogger Helicopter Pilot said this happened, and Sander is a reliable source - preliminary - something about a couple of the images looks off

The oil depot in Ust-Labinsk, Krasnodar region, in Russia, which got struck last night, continues to burn like hell. Absolute devastation can be seen on the recent footage.

@Exilenova_plus Of course Russia will hoard what fuel there is for the army. Occupation "authorities" aren't real authorities

The shroud of black smoke that loomed over St. Petersburg this week following a Ukrainian drone attack as the city hosted Russia's flagship economic forum was the perfect metaphor for Putin's declining fortunes as his invasion continues to unravel

It's hard to overstate how badly Trump's failure in Iran has shot US credibility in the Gulf.

Kuwait Says It Was Targeted by Seven Iranian Missiles Overnight

Iran fired seven ballistic missiles at Kuwait overnight, authorities said, and falling debris caused some damage on the ground, but no casualties.

The June 6 attack came just days after an Iranian strike on the Gulf state’s international airport killed one person and injured 63 others.

It is time to end this war. But Russia’s ruler wants to keep fighting. That is why Ukrainian sanctions against this aggression are working. Last night, our drones covered a distance of about 1,000 kilometers to the St. Petersburg region – to the enemy navy’s arsenals and a base in Kronstadt. Our long-range sanctions also reached about 500 kilometers into the Krasnodar region – and hit an oil depot. These are important results of the joint efforts by warriors from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. Russia must end its war and stop its attacks on life. Any manifestation of injustice against Ukraine will receive a just response. I thank our warriors for their precision.

In southern Ukraine 🇺🇦, Russian 🇷🇺 forces continue their offensive from Hulialpole to Orikhiv, a strategic town

I mapped more than 1 400 Russian airstrikes, supporting multiple offensive axes in May, while Ukraine nearly finished its fortifications.

Great article.

“ The UN has become one of the most dangerous instruments in modern geopolitics. Authoritarian regimes are using the UN’s prestige to normalise their behavior, conceal their crimes and peddle anti-Western propaganda. It should terrify all of us that the world’s most trusted watchdog has been successfully leveraged as a PR firm for tyrants.”

@sc_smalls @wartranslated Such impertinent questions!

Ok they were targeting a nearbyish airfield. Accuracy is trash, which happens when you prioritize speed.

@michaeldweiss How frustrating for all the people trying so hard to pretend not to know

Then in 2022, Aughinish Alumina was given €2.1 million in public funding to treat the 'red mud' waste product site. Seriously, what the hell is going on?

The Irish public subsidized the Russian Aluminium industry after Russia invaded Ukraine. This is appalling!

Either he very stupidly believes some total crock of a lame obvious excuse for Oreshnik's inaccuracy that some underling told him, or he himself is making up a really lame obvious lie.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

The aging Russian dictator descends into hallucinatory delusion in trying to play off the two failed "oreshnik" missile strikes – saying that they planned "down to the millimeter" to strike "the shed that was struck" and that striking Russian occupied Donetsk was also intentional.
