youtube.comUKRAINE HAD A GREAT NIGHT!I examine Ukraine’s calculated strikes on Russian war-supporting industry: the Azot chemical plant in Novomoskovsk, a major steel facility in Lipetsk, and—days earlier—the Energia plant in Yelets. Azot produces ammonia, nitric acid, ammonium nitrate, and other chemical inputs; nitric acid is vital to explosives production. Satellite imagery also indicated heavy damage at Energia production buildings associated with power sources for systems including Iskander, Kinzhal, Zircon, and Pantsir. I also assess the other side of the exchange. Ukrainian defenses are improving against Russia’s jet-powered Garan drones, with F-16s, Mirage and MiG-29 aircraft, MANPADS, and new interceptors contributing to higher shootdown rates. But ballistic-missile defense remains the urgent vulnerability: Kyiv says Patriot missile deliveries and approvals have been delayed while Russia fires missiles at the capital region. Deep strikes can impose real industrial costs, but they do not remove the immediate need for air-defense ammunition. 00:00 Azot and Lipetsk Steel Strikes 03:50 Energia Missile-Power Plant and Russian Strikes 07:20 Patriot Delays and Ballistic Missile Threats 09:55 Sumy Operations and Russian Rail Logistics 13:32 Drone Strikes on Russian Military Communications 16:56 Ukraine’s Strategy: Targeting War Industry #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineWar #AzotPlant #Lipetsk #PatriotMissiles #AirDefense Facts over noise.

It’s unfortunate that Zelenskyy and Ukraine has to simultaneously fight a two-front war against Russian barbarians and the greedy gangsters running the US government.

I conveyed to @jmalbares.bsky.social my profound condolences following the tragic train accident in Spain’s Toledo province. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives. I wish a swift recovery to the injured and strength to all those affected.

Here’s an out the box thought, if Russia just left Ukraine, or hadn’t even invaded in the first place, nobody would have died 🤷‍♂️ How about that for a radical idea…..just throwing it out there

The fact that neither President of Finland or PM of Norway were able to see how Jaroslav the Wise's protection of the Pechenegs is the root of why Ukraine attacked itself just indicates the depth of their Russophobia.

Ukraine attacked a chemical plant in Voronezh with drones. They have successfully struck 6 out of 10 of Russia's major rubber facilities.

The fuel tanker "Agioi Fanendes" (IMO: 9798375) has 40,000 metric tons of Russian diesel loaded. It is suggested that it is heading for the US coast. The amount of diesel would cover the overall US consumption of an hour.

💥🚂Ukraine’s 1st National Guard Corps “Azov” has struck over 100 Russian trains transporting supplies to the front, targeting locomotives, fuel tankers, and other railway equipment. The strikes are disrupting Russian fuel deliveries and military logistics along key railway routes supplying the front

If anyone wants to donate to an African #Scammer, they are still pulling this #Scam since 2019. They pop up all over social media, so some innocents must be falling for it. They follow you, and when you follow back, they DM you telling you about the $$$ you will get by sending a few $$ to them.😒

Zelensky says Ukraine and Trump agree on ending Russia’s war but differ on the tools. “We understand Russians better than the United States,” he said, arguing Ukrainians can better read Putin’s mentality, when Moscow is bluffing and when Russians act out of fear of the Kremlin. #Ukraine

The chemical plant in Novomoskovsk, Tula region, in Russia has been struck and is burning. Thick smoke clouds can be seen from afar.

1/ Vladimir Putin seems to have decided that protecting his palace at Valdai is more important than protecting Russia's vulnerable factories and oil refineries. A few bold Russian warbloggers are questioning why scarce air defence assets are being diverted for Putin's benefit. ⬇️

Concession after concession to Russia from the US, with zero concessions back from Russia. This isn't about ending the war at all, this is about corruption. Turns out "Russia, Russia, Russia" wasn't a hoax after all.

Ukraine says its interception rate against Russian Geran-4 jet-powered attack drones is steadily improving, averaging nearly 60% over the past three months and reaching up to 80% during some attacks. F-16s, Mirages and MiG-29s play a major role. #Ukraine
