Big blow to Iran

The U.S. has launched large-scale strikes on Iranian military surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities & minelayer assets in response to Iran's attack on a Panama-flagged tanker near the Strait of Hormuz.

"I instructed our intelligence services and military to act preemptively against facilities Russia uses to expand its war effort
If Putin doesn't want to end this war and chooses to continue it, we won't sit quietly. We will respond.
Russia must understand that every strike will have consequences on its own territory."

Russian companies are leaving Crimea in droves.

A resident commented on the crisis caused by the fuel shortage on the peninsula:

Do you know what people in Crimea aren't talking about right now? The fact that many sectors of the economy have simply ground to a halt due to the fuel shortage. Employees are being laid off everywhere.

People are dropping everything and leaving their homes—everyone senses and realizes that something is going to happen in July. Attacks are intensifying, and fuel supplies are dwindling.

🇫🇮Finnish President Alexander Stubb on the Russia-Ukraine war:

📌 “Russia will not end this war because of economic difficulties, it will not end this war because of the deaths of Russian soldiers. It will end this war only if the population turns against it.”

📌 “In World War II, the Soviet Union entered Berlin in less than four years… It was a city 1,400 kilometers away. In the active war against Ukraine, they have advanced only 60 kilometers. That’s where everything ends.”

Today, no one on Earth can say that we are not fighting for Crimea or that we have forgotten about Crimea. Every day proves that Ukraine remembers every part of its land, every one of its people, and is truly fighting to ensure justice for our entire state and every integral part of it.

Russia brought its war to Ukraine, starting nowhere other than Crimea, and now, with our actions – medium-range sanctions against the Russian occupier, our long-range sanctions plan, and all other forms of pressure on the aggressor – we are doing everything to force Russia to end the war and restore justice. And it is Crimea that is at the center of this policy of ensuring justice. Russia turned Crimea into a launchpad for aggressive operations against other parts of our country and against other nations. For a very long time, Russia has tried to normalize its war – to make Ukraine, all of Europe, and the world accept that its aggression supposedly cannot be stopped and that justice supposedly cannot be restored.

Today, Ukraine is depriving Russia of this launchpad and drawing a line under its attempts to normalize war. And in doing so, we remember that justice for Ukraine also means justice for the Crimean Tatar people – a people forced to endure deportation and decades of oppression, a people who were able to return to their homeland, but whose home the Russians tried to steal again, a people who have preserved their vitality and remain an inseparable part of our society.

Today, as we honor the blue banner with the golden tamğa – this proud flag that unites the entire Crimean Tatar people – we affirm that Ukraine is fighting for itself and all its lands, defending justice for itself and all its people – for everyone who calls Ukraine and our Crimea their home. We must stop Russian aggression. We must bring freedom back to all those who are currently in Russian captivity. We must guarantee security and a reliable peace for the entirety of our state and all our people.

Qırımtatar Milliy Bayraq künü hayırlı olsun!

Glory to Ukraine!

Ukraine continues to gut the flaming carcass of Putin's fledgling USSR 2.0, with more strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, which among today's early morning hits included the Slavyansk ECO refinery, in Slavyansk-na-Kubani, in southern Krasnodar Krai.

One of the larger refineries in southern Russia, it supplies around 20% of total oil products there, processing 5.2 million tons of oil/year or 100,000 barrels/day.

The owner of this refinery, Robert Paranyants is a regional deputy that has been involved with supplying North Korea with sanctioned oil products.

🚨🇦🇱 BREAKING: The Albanian government has now started arresting, threatening, and blackmailing citizens who protest against the sale of their land to oligarchs and foreign billionaires.

This is not the behavior of a legitimate government.
This is the behavior of a criminal regime that has lost all legitimacy.

You can jail people.
You cannot jail the truth.

Resign.

Russians flaunt and rejoice in their genocide of Ukrainians. And the world isn’t even watching anymore as a passive observer, but truly dumbfounded to learn this is daily hell for Ukraine.

[War Radar @War_Radar2]

🇪🇺🇧🇾🇷🇺 Europe is watching Belarus.

For months, Ukraine's intelligence has issued warnings that have often proven significant. Now, fresh concerns are growing that Belarus could become the next front in the war.

If Belarus were to enter the conflict directly, Ukraine would suddenly face pressure from another direction, forcing it to defend multiple fronts at once.

Military analysts warn that any major escalation could ripple across Eastern Europe, raising tensions throughout the region and increasing concerns about NATO's eastern flank.

Nothing has been confirmed. But if Belarus enters the war, it would mark one of the biggest turning points since Russia's full scale invasion.

The next move could reshape the battlefield and the security of Europe.

This is not AI. Every drone you see in this video is being controlled by a single Ukrainian operator. There is currently no technology capable of countering this, and I don’t think one will exist anytime soon.

A manhunt has been launched in Rome for Bangladeshi invader Shahadat Hossain, 43 after a family was hacked to death with a meat cleaver in a horror triple murder.

Three members of the same family, a mum, dad and their five-year-old daughter were killed in a flat on the western outskirts of the Italian capital.

A Muslim ‘refugee’ demanded a pregnant woman’s seat on the bus, saying he was too tired to stand.

When she refused, two Muslim men violently dragged her out.

Support deporting all Muslim refugees?

A. Yes
B. No

Russian monsters are attacking Kyiv with ballistic missiles right now!!

In response to Ukraine destroying a Russian military plant, Russian scum have decided to take out their anger by carrying out mass killings of sleeping Ukrainian civilians.
