For the second day in a row, everyone has been laughing at this video. Yesterday, Putin, dressed in military uniform, allegedly made a rare visit to the front line, to one of the auxiliary command posts. In reality, it was a film set inside a bunker. As we can see, they have a lot of props in that bunker: 😅 A camouflage net was hung inside the building. 😅 The flooring, lighting, and acoustics all look like those of a studio. I wonder how many times they rehearsed it?

Putin's reality: "Yes, they [Ukrainians] are currently causing us certain problems with petroleum products. I think the situation will gradually improve." Real reality: Russia's average oil refining rate has decreased to 3.91 million barrels per day this month. This is the lowest level since March 2005 - Bloomberg. That’s more than 1.4 million barrels a day below the average. Russia has banned exports of diesel, gas and jet fuel and is now negotiating fuel imports.

The German embassy in Moscow once again called on Russia to end the war. In return, Russia called them "Nazi propagandists", jeered that the German ambassador's car drives on gas, and blamed Berlin for waging "an aggressive war" against Russia. ◾️On July 6, a video was published at the Facebook page of the German embassy in Russia. In it, Lena Hillmeier, head of the press office and second secretary at the German embassy in Russia, offered an solution to Russia's fuel problems: stop Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine. ◾️A week later, the German ambassador was summoned to Russia's foreign affairs ministry. He was told that "The slide of German agitprop's information and communications efforts into the style of the worst Nazi propaganda practices is immoral and provokes historically conditioned rejection and outrage among broad sections of the population in our country. At the same time, we were pleased to learn that the German ambassador will soon be returning home in a gasoline-powered car following the completion of his official mission." Zakharova also commented that "we [Russia] agree that it's time Berlin end its aggressive war through the hands of the Kyiv regime." She suggested that "concerned German diplomats" use public transportation. ◾️The German embassy reacted: "Today, Ambassador Alexander Graf Lambsdorff was summoned to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During the meeting, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova criticized the publications of the German Embassy in Moscow, claiming they touch on "painful issues" for the Russian population. The summons was prompted by a widely viewed video from the Embassy about the fuel crisis in Russia caused by Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. The video calls on Russia to end the war, reflecting the well-known position of the German government and a demand for Russia repeatedly made by Germany and the EU. Attempts to obstruct the publication of the Embassy's materials, the content of which is factual, will be futile. The Embassy will continue to advocate for an end to the monstrous, aggressive war against Ukraine and to report on its consequences." Thank you, Germany, for standing with Ukraine! 🇩🇪🇺🇦

Yesterday, Peskov said: this is no longer a "special military operation" - it is a war. This statement by an official is yet another step toward a future mobilization in Russia. What could happen if war is officially declared instead of a "special military operation" ("SMO")? Instead of partial measures, Russia would launch a mechanism for general (total) mobilization and introduce martial law: ◾️ Putin would have to issue a decree introducing martial law and submit a bill to the Federation Council and the State Duma declaring a state of war. ◾️ The country's borders would be automatically and completely closed to all citizens liable for military duty, preventing them from leaving the country. ◾️ Unlike the "SMO," where the focus is on people with combat experience and in-demand military specialties, a general mobilization would call up all categories of citizens in the reserve, in turn. Another indirect indication of preparations for a total mobilization is yesterday's news that the Russian defense ministry intends to abolish mandatory medical examinations for contract soldiers and those mobilized to determine their fitness for service. The ministry has already prepared the relevant amendments to the law on military service. Abolishing military medical examinations would introduce a "presumption of absolute fitness" for everyone subject to mobilization. This would make it possible to mobilize large numbers of Russians and send them to the front lines as quickly as possible. All Russians who do not want to lose their lives or their health in a criminal war must flee Russia. Right now.

Drones reportedly struck the Syzran oil refinery in Russia's Samara region. According to preliminary assessments by OSINT analysts, the AVT-5 unit, used for primary crude oil processing and accounting for up to 30% of the refinery's capacity, was hit.

The reality is that the Russian army is moving extremely slowly, and Ukraine is attacking objects within Russia to diminish Russian military and money-making capabilities.

Maduro declares a state of emergency and calls for mobilization, according to Venezuela’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Russia’s war has opened Pandora’s box. Conflicts are now waged through military means. A struggle for control over Venezuelan oil is underway. Will strikes on Venezuela affect Russia’s shadow fleet? Undoubtedly. "Venezuelan oil" plays a major role for the so-called shadow fleet. At one point, Rosneft (Sechin) invested large sums in Venezuela’s oil sector. In fact, the shadow transfer of part of the oil industry to the Russians was the price paid for preserving Maduro’s regime. Today, Russians mix Russian oil with Venezuelan oil, which is also sold through the shadow fleet, and market it as oil from third countries. If Trump succeeds in a rapid change of the Maduro regime, it will not stop but will complicate the operations of Russia’s shadow fleet. Everyone also remembers, after the defeats in Syria and Iran, that Russia does not really help its "partners." The only thing it can offer is asylum for those fleeing.

For the second time in six months, a Sukhoi Superjet 100 operated by Russian airline Red Wings suffered an in-flight engine failure - the cowlings on the second engine broke off. The incident became the fourth recorded case involving the separation of engine cowling panels. The latest one occurred on June 18. A previous similar case involved a Superjet operated by Rossiya Airlines. Two other such incidents had earlier been recorded on aircraft belonging to Azimuth Airlines. Investigations by Rosaviatsiya authority into all three previous cases reached the same conclusion: the engine cowling latches had not been properly secured following maintenance. The commission found that specialists from Yakovlev Corporation, who had serviced the aircraft in Vladivostok, Russia, failed to comply with maintenance procedures when closing the cowling locks. Following the investigation, Rosaviatsiya recommended that Yakovlev equip the Superjet 100 fleet with additional safety devices and revise the technical documentation. Airlines and maintenance organizations were also instructed to strengthen oversight of maintenance work and pre-flight inspections. 📹: for illustration purposes / 2025

"It's not just a security issue - it's also a moral issue. While Ukrainians are dying, Russians are spending their holidays in Europe. " - Estonian Interior Minister Igor Taro called on EU countries to tighten their visa policy toward Russian citizens. "A very troubling sign is that the number of visas issued to Russians in Europe is growing, which is ridiculous. Because it's not just a security issue - it's also a moral issue. While Ukrainians are dying, Russians are spending their holidays in Europe. It's just not logical at all. The non-binding measures have produced non-binding results, and it just can't continue like this. I think there should be a ban on tourist visas for Russians, at least for as long as this war continues, because Russians are traveling as if nothing has happened. And that's exactly what the Kremlin wants Russians to believe: 'It's okay, it's just a small special operation, it's not a big deal, and we can carry on with business as usual.' So we have to squeeze Russia really hard."

"Russian soldiers only live an average of 20 to 30 minutes on the battlefield because of Ukraine’s AI drones." - CIA Director John Ratcliffe "Our intelligence is consistent with some of the open-source reporting you may have seen in Ukraine: the average life expectancy of a Russian recruit right now, arriving on the battlefield in Ukraine, is estimated to be between 20 and 30 minutes. And that's because AI-powered drones have gotten to be such specialised, low-cost killing machines. So it's why an inferior force, 4 and a half years later, has held off the superior force of Russia against Ukraine. The pace of their advance has stopped as Ukraine's mastery of emerging technologies, and in this case, drone warfare, asymmetric warfare, is such a great equalizer," the Central Intelligence Agency chief said at the Pennsylvania Defense and Innovation Summit.

On July 16, Remeslo wrote: "Everything is heading towards a situation where even a small push could cause Putin to lose power." As I said before, Remeslo was obviously allowed to make such negative remarks - until he wasn't. 📹: April 2026 interview with Ksenia Sobchak

"We need to fight for every single person. We have to win through asymmetry." - Mykhailo Fedorov. Other statements by Mykhailo Fedorov: ▪️ Drone-assault units. We lose drones, not people. Infantry moves in only after drones. ▪️ Syrskyi saved our country in 2022. We cannot underestimate him as a commander, but warfare has changed completely. Drones are reshaping the architecture, certain things in technology are changing 20 to 30 times over, and a command system has changed. We cannot rely on what worked back then. ▪️ I don't need the position of defense minister to be the defense minister. I need this position to win the war. Mykhailo Fedorov also stated that he had a phone conversation with President Zelenskyy today and that another meeting is scheduled.

Moscow residents were asked about the possibility of introducing martial law in Russia. Some of their answers: "There might be another mobilization in October. It's needed to strengthen Russia's military position, finally win, and take Crimea back." "Martial law won't be imposed because the 'special military operation' is already nearing its end. You can see it from the battlefield reports and the defense minister's briefings." "It's necessary simply to restore basic order in the country." "I don't think anything can threaten Russia right now, so there won't be martial law." "The situation is pretty dire because Ukraine is rapidly stockpiling large numbers of high-quality drones. All we have are manpower and nuclear weapons." "Mobilization will help in the short term, but not in the long term. If it doesn’t work, nuclear weapons will be used." 📹: Sota

Could the fuel crisis in Russia break the back of the Russian war economy? It has already evolved from a problem into a systemic vulnerability. Strikes on oil refineries have put at risk the domestic infrastructure essential to the day-to-day functioning of the Russian state. A symbolic and practical turning point was the strike on the Omsk refinery - Russia's largest refinery and one of its key producers of gasoline and diesel. After the attack, the refinery halted processing. The Moscow refinery in Kapotnya, the largest fuel supplier to the capital region, is unlikely to resume operations before at least the end of the year following strikes in June. Estimates of the scale of the damage vary, but they point to the same trend: Ukraine is no longer merely carrying out isolated strikes on individual targets but is creating a cumulative effect in which Russia's repair capacity is beginning to fall behind the pace of damage. The most vulnerable point in this crisis is the agricultural sector. The harvest has coincided with peak summer fuel demand, making diesel a critical resource. Russia's harvesting campaign in early July was running one to two weeks behind last year's pace, with weather and fuel supply problems cited among the reasons. Crops are being harvested late, grain quality is deteriorating, and logistics costs are rising. As expected, large agricultural holdings - which have stockpiles, long-term contracts, access to the wholesale market, and administrative channels - are faring better. Small and medium-sized farmers, by contrast, are likely to go bankrupt. The Russian authorities continue largely to deny the problem, but in practice they are shifting toward emergency management of the shortage. The first set of measures involves a ban on diesel exports and the start of fuel imports. For a country accustomed to presenting itself as an energy superpower, the very need to import petroleum products is humiliating. The second set of measures is the degradation of standards. The Russian government has allowed the use of Euro-3 gasoline until the end of 2026, and parliament has passed tax changes that permit the use of lower-quality components for blending straight-run gasoline, postpone part of the refinery modernization, and provide for subsidies for fuel imports. The third set of measures is administrative rationing. In June, most Russian regions introduced some form of restriction on gasoline or diesel sales: volume limits, unreliable fuel availability, pumps marked "out of service," lines, and periodic disruptions at gas stations. In the medium term, the worst effects may emerge not only in the 2026 harvest but also in the next agricultural cycle - primarily during the 2027 sowing season. The fuel crisis has only just begun, but the most interesting period still lies ahead: seasonal demand peaks in August and September. The future of Russia's war economy will depend primarily on the balance between the pace of Ukrainian strikes, the effectiveness of Russian air defenses, and the ability of repair crews to restore refinery operations. If that balance continues to shift against Russia, the fuel crisis could create conditions in which the Russian authorities would want to end the war. 📹: Fiery footage of attacks on the Moscow oil refinery and other targets in Russia
