🇷🇺 Why wasn't the Omsk oil refinery better protected? 😁🔽 “Ukrainian drones reached the Omsk refinery — the largest in the country, accounting for almost 10% of all oil refining. The refinery supplies all of Western Siberia and the Urals. It is reported that FP-1 drones struck a unit with a capacity of 8.4 million tons of oil per year out of the plant’s total capacity of 22 million tons. The Omsk refinery is such an obvious and attractive target that it was bound to be reached sooner or later. And it was. From the Ukrainian border to Omsk is more than 2,500 km. The FP-1 flies at a speed of 140–180 km/h — that is 14–17 hours of flight in a straight line, but the drone most likely had to bypass air defense zones, so it would have taken longer. That means it took off yesterday evening and arrived today during the day. And this is a slow propeller-driven device that could have been detected in advance, its target could have been predicted, and it could have been tracked all the way to Omsk. In that time, mobile groups could have been redeployed, local forces alerted, aviation scrambled. Twenty hours, after all. Why didn’t this happen? Once again, the answer, I think, should be sought not in technology but in the structure of the Russian vertical of power itself. Imagine officials at all levels, from the Kremlin to Omsk. To organize any kind of defense system, someone has to take the initiative: find resources, involve unusual, non-system people who might be able to solve such tasks, although it’s not certain. Coordinate it with a dozen agencies, agree on coordination without calls to Moscow, cover everything with paperwork so as not to later be prosecuted for misuse of funds. And even after all that, there is still a high chance the drone will break through — and then they will have to figure out how exactly it got through and rebuild the defense again. But the main question is — who will be responsible for the first failure? That very initiative-taking official who made the decision himself? He is supposed to be held accountable for the failure. So he will be removed. By the way, until he showed up, everything was calm, Ukrainian drones weren’t arriving, and as soon as he started being active — they started arriving immediately. Maybe he’s an SBU agent, huh? Let’s be honest — would you, in his place, take on defending an oil refinery?” — Russian political blogger Igor Dimitriev Video: Exilenova+

Russia is doing everything in its power to create a humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine. Last night in Kyiv the Russians destroyed the warehouse and office of Ukraine's second-largest pharmaceutical distributor, Optima Pharm. The losses are estimated at over $100 million.

Years ago, there was a tornado in my town. I didn’t know anything was happening; I was watching Netflix when my mom’s best friend called me, asking if I was safe. I had no idea what she was talking about until I saw a metal lawn chair fly past my window just as she was telling me I needed to go down to the basement. I ran around the house like a crazy person collecting my animals. Grabbed my cat, stuffed all four of my chinchillas into a single shoebox, and called my dog to follow me. The seven of us had to hide in the basement for the next half hour. It happened just once, and I still remember that day. This popped into my mind as I was watching the Russian terrorist attack on Kyiv tonight. Meanwhile, Ukrainians have to do every single night what I experienced that day…

Russian propaganda is joyfully reposting a video of Trump saying that Ukraine gave Putin a reason to “bomb the hell of them last night” as justification for Russia’s terrorist strikes on Ukrainian civilians.

I have a theory… I’ve previously stated that I believe Putin knew about the upcoming attack and did nothing to prevent it because he wanted to blame it on Ukraine to unite and mobilize his country. But what if that wasn’t his reason for not stopping the attack? What if he wanted a big terrorist attack to take place so the world (albeit temporarily) stops seeing Russia as the aggressor and thinks of it as a victim? Also, it's curious that just last night Russia conducted the biggest attack on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine since the beginning of the war, and today it's hardly talked about because of what happened in Crocus City… #Crocus #Moscow #Russia #Putin

Cocky Putin says that Russia is prepared to fight until NATO gets tired. Yes, let's pretend that Russia is not begging North Korea and Iran for weapons and didn't just import North Korean soldiers. 🙄

‼️According to Ukraine’s military intelligence, the Kremlin has a long-term plan to colonize occupied Ukrainian territories ⬇️ “The population of occupied Donbas has shrunk by almost one-third over the past ten years — from more than 7.3 million to approximately 3.75 million people, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense. “The scale of the demographic losses caused by Russia in the occupied territories of eastern Ukraine is highly revealing: over the past ten years, the population of Donbas has declined by almost one-third. While in 2001 the combined population of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions was about 7.37 million people, by the beginning of 2024 only around 3.75 million remained,” the HUR said in a statement published on its website on Monday. According to the HUR, Russia, the aggressor state, has driven the situation of the Ukrainian population in the temporarily occupied territories to the point of catastrophe. The birth rate is extremely low, while the death rate is exceptionally high, and both indicators significantly exceed even Russia’s national averages. For example, in 2025, the natural population growth rate in the occupied part of the Donetsk region was –9.9‰ (per thousand). According to the HUR, this is 2.4 times worse than the overall figure for the Russian Federation. At the same time, Russia is deliberately changing the ethnic composition of the occupied territories. In occupied Crimea and Sevastopol alone, there are already 200,000–300,000 Russians who have been relocated there, and by 2042 the Kremlin plans to resettle another 130,000 people in Sevastopol. As of 2024, the occupied parts of the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions were home to 200,000 ethnic Russians, as well as approximately 100,000 labor migrants from Central Asia and the Caucasus. Since the beginning of 2026 alone, around 10,000 such "labor migrants" have been registered in the temporarily occupied part of the Donetsk region. The majority of the ethnic Russians illegally transferred to the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine are individuals sent from Russia on official assignments. They "work" in occupation administrations controlled by the occupying authorities, repressive structures, state-funded "institutions," "organizations," and "enterprises." Russia is sending Russian medical workers, teachers, and construction workers to the occupied territories. Occupied Crimea has also been populated with a significant number of so-called military pensioners and residents from remote regions of Russia. To encourage Russians to relocate to the temporarily occupied territories, the aggressor state has created a system of financial incentives. Russians assigned to occupied parts of Ukraine receive double salary, as well as housing rent compensation of up to 7,210 rubles per day. Daily allowances can reach 8,480 rubles. Over the course of a one-month assignment, a Russian "official" can earn more than 470,000 rubles (over US$5,000) — more than eight times the average salary in Russia. Another incentive is the distribution of land plots and expropriated homes belonging to Ukrainians to newly arrived Russians. In effect, Russia has legalized looting in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Stolen housing is sold through subsidized mortgage programs, while land is granted free of charge to participants in Russia's criminal war against Ukraine. In 2025, 4,000 land plots were distributed in Crimea to servicemen of the Russian occupation army from various regions of Russia. The Kremlin also actively uses these relocated participants in its war against Ukraine for propaganda activities as part of its policy of Russifying Crimea.” Continued below 🔽 Video: Russia's redevelopment plan for Mariupol's city center.
