❗️Ukraine's first underground operation - Khartiia in Kharkiv region conducted operation Veles. Russian troops went almost completely underground in Kharkiv region after Ukraine practically halted their advances on the ground. The region has a lot of gas pipes that allowed them to move underground. Ukraine studied the enemy's movements carefully and stopped the Russian operation intended to infiltrate the Ukrainian rear. Then, Khartiia went underground themselves. The first ever underground counterattack advanced Ukraine 15 km forward, had Russia losing over 100 soldiers and over 30 Russian soldiers were taken into captivity.

Russian missiles are attacking Kyiv. Trump thanks Putin for the deal. Buying Russian diesel will not solve the US fuel problems. It is at most a short-term psychological tactic aimed at easing gas station prices ahead of the elections. The main beneficiary of this deal is Russia. Putin has secured the official lifting of sanctions on petroleum products for six months, an inflow of foreign currency revenue while the ruble is weakening, and a rise in the share prices of Russian oil companies (Rosneft, Lukoil, Tatneft). For Ukraine, strikes on Russian oil refineries are the most effective tool for weakening the Kremlin’s war machine. Will Ukraine die in silence, with our hands tied? No.

Italy's Defense Minister Guido Crosetto: Russia attacked Ukraine, it attacked Crimea, Georgia, if we want to go further back, Afghanistan. So in the Russian mentality, there is the idea of attacking in order to occupy. Most of the Russian budget goes toward investments in weapons or the military. They will reach 1.5 million military personnel. So if the war ended tomorrow, what would Putin do with 1.5 million soldiers? He himself would face internal problems if he stopped the war tomorrow morning. And this gives me the impression, since he continues to accelerate, that he would not want to stop in Ukraine. This is Europe's concern, especially the concern of the Eastern European countries closest to Russia. And that is why, as Europe and NATO, we are preparing - Guido Crosetto

For the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague: Russian propagandist Solovyev says that Russia’s goal is to kill all residents of Ukrainian cities: "And to those Kyiv residents who are still there, I repeat for the hundredth time: leave the city. You are doomed. To the residents of Odesa and Mykolaiv: you’ve had your laugh. When people ask, 'Do we really have to think about them at all?' Yes. We are thinking about where to bury all of you." Calls for the mass murder of civilians are classified under international law and national legislation as among the gravest international crimes and criminal offenses and may fall under several key categories: • direct and public incitement to genocide; • instigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity; • war propaganda and incitement to hatred.

President Zelenskyy: Ukraine never wanted this war, and we have welcomed literally EVERY attempt by our partners to bring it to a just and dignified end. We have responded positively to EVERY ceasefire proposal. Ballistic missiles, Shahed drones, and killings are Russia’s repeated response. Putin does not want to end this war - he does not even want to take any steps toward de-escalation. EVERY one of our partners has experienced this firsthand when Russia refused. It is crucial to call things by their proper names: call the aggressor an aggressor and help Ukraine protect lives. When supplies of missiles for Ukraine’s air defense are blocked while Russia receives sanctions relief or postponements, this unfortunately amounts to a denial of reality by our partners. The reality is that the war continues, and it continues solely because of Russian strikes and Russia’s desire to prolong it. Thank you to everyone who acknowledges reality and helps Ukraine! 📹: Kyiv this morning after a Russian ballistic missile strike

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?

The Ukrainian and Russian armies are increasingly fighting underground, using old Soviet-era pipelines, The Wall Street Journal reports. "Despite the danger and the pervasive sense of claustrophobia, Ukrainian soldiers told their officers that they often prefer these underground battles to fighting on the surface, where drones pose a constant threat," the article states. According to Ukrainian military personnel, Russia is preparing entire units specializing in underground combat. Russian forces use underground pipes to covertly travel several kilometers, emerge behind Ukrainian Armed Forces lines, and launch drones from there. Initially, Ukrainian forces tried to destroy the pipe exits with artillery and airstrikes, but the Russians simply cut new openings. The Ukrainian troops then began waging a full-scale war underground. Inside the pipes, which are approximately 1.2 meters in diameter, Russian forces have set up machine-gun positions, sandbag barricades, and even living quarters where soldiers have spent months. The Ukrainians send in ground drones equipped with explosives and remotely operated machine guns. The WSJ notes that similar fighting could spread to other sections of the front line, and that Soviet-era pipeline networks extend toward Poland and the Baltic states as well. 📹: Khartiia Brigade

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.

These four Ukrainian Warriors from the 65th Mechanized Brigade spent 320 days defending a frontline position in the Orikhiv sector of Zaporizhzhia region. Now, they've finally made it back from the front line. To reach the evacuation point, the Defenders covered about 18 km on foot over three days, through rain and fog, under the constant threat of Russian drones. They were then transported by armored vehicle to a location where their brothers-in-arms and medics were waiting. The group was led by Ukrainian Defender Vitalii, call sign "Cheburashka." All four made it out alive. Previous rotation attempts had been thwarted by Russian drones and artillery. According to the brigade, one replacement group was killed before reaching the position, while others were wounded and had to turn back. 📹: 65th Mechanized Brigade

President Zelenskyy’s comment on US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s remarks that the war in Ukraine is at a "strategic stalemate" and that there are now "no prospects for a negotiated settlement": "You cannot negotiate future economic projects with Russians on the one hand and, on the other, claim that we are in some kind of diplomatic stalemate. We are not in a diplomatic stalemate. Shut down Russia’s entire economy. Shut Russia's mouth. Stop feeding them through your sales. Impose sanctions on their weapons. Open Starlink for Ukraine. You opened it when responding to Iran, after all. Everything worked there. Israel completely controlled the skies over Iran. So when you need it to work, it works. It costs them nothing to help Ukraine. And I said quite frankly: help us protect our skies and gain dominance there. Then Putin will sit down at the negotiating table. Why? Because he will lose everything. In two or three months, he will lose everything. And instead, we are waiting for the Chinese to develop an equivalent and hand it over to Russians. This is not a stalemate - this is called a lack of will."

Yesterday, we all saw the video of Kostiantyn Vlasenko, a Ukrainian Defender from the 30th Brigade, being evacuated by drone from a position on the left bank of the Oskil River in the Kupiansk sector, Kharkiv region. I was deeply impacted by the video and his interview. After being seriously wounded in February, Kostiantyn lost one leg. Several months later, when gangrene set in, he had to amputate his other leg himself. Throughout all of this, he continued to hold the position alone. Several attempts to evacuate him by land had failed, so different units of Ukraine's Defense Forces came together to rescue Kostiantyn. I'm speechless.

"He doesn’t understand the people. He is a true Soviet KGB officer. A bit of an antisemite, a bit of a fascist. Not very intelligent. And he does not understand that people have rights. He is a president who simply doesn’t give a damn about his own citizens." - This is how journalist Anna Politkovskaya described Putin. Anna Politkovskaya was killed in Moscow 20 years ago, on Putin’s birthday. Twenty years after her murder, the EU once again called for all those responsible to be identified and brought to justice. Six people were convicted in Russia for their involvement in the crime, but those who ordered the killing have still not been found. 📹: BBC

Yandex is Russia's leading IT giant; its cloud infrastructure supports not only the civilian sector but also business systems and government agencies, meaning the consequences of the attacks on it are systemic: Damage to data centers caused disruptions to over 80 of the company's services (including Yandex Go, Yandex Taxi, Yandex Music, Yandex Pay, and Yandex Pro). Since the Yandex Cloud platform provides computing power to third-party companies, the infrastructure of many major Russian enterprises also went down. Transport collapse: Taxi and courier delivery operations were completely blocked in many Russian cities (drivers lost access to navigation and their accounts). Paralysis of retail and banking: Systems belonging to major marketplaces (Wildberries, Ozon) and large retail chains (Pyaterochka, Lenta, Magnit) were affected, as were the services of leading banks (T-Bank, Alfa-Bank) and the Russian Railways (RZD) website. Issues with government services: Access problems were reported on the "Gosuslugi" portal and the websites of several Russian media outlets. Incidentally, there are reports that the number of Russian bots on social media has dropped significantly.

Paralysis of retail and banking: Systems belonging to major marketplaces (Wildberries, Ozon) and large retail chains (Pyaterochka, Lenta, Magnit) were affected, as were the services of leading banks (T-Bank, Alfa-Bank) and the Russian Railways (RZD) website. Issues with government services: Access problems were reported on the "Gosuslugi" portal and the websites of several Russian media outlets. Incidentally, there are reports that the number of Russian bots on social media has dropped significantly.

[Q]: You called Ukraine a disgrace for attacking Russia. You want Zelensky out. Have you forgotten that President Putin just started the war? [President Trump]: Well, I know the details, okay? And at some point I'll release the details. But I don't care anything except for one. I want that war ended.. And I think the two leaders, I deal with both of them, I think they want that war ended too. And I think it's going to end. Comment from me: there is indeed one leader who wants this war to end - President Zelenskyy. Putin just gave a speech where he and his military promised more attacks on Ukraine.

Putin has arrived at Red Square. A massive security presence. It looks like there are almost as many guards as guests. Putin is afraid of his own people - that’s good.
