1/ The destruction by Ukrainian drones of two of Wildberries' massive warehouses near Moscow is a huge disaster for the Russian economy, which will inflict far more damage than the headline $1.2 billion loss of stock. Here's why. ⬇️

1/ A Russian military journalist says that Russian manufacturers won't produce electronic warfare drones because "the more UAVs shot down at the front, the more orders they have". It's said to illustrate how they treat the war as a get-rich-quick scheme. ⬇️

1/ A St Petersburg doctor has been arrested for illegally selling human heads. The city's Alexandrovskaya Hospital is suspected of trafficking in body parts, selling them to organisations specialising in cosmetology, surgery, and dentistry. ⬇️

1/ Russia's fuel crisis has spread to its Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad. Fuel prices have soared, rationing has been introduced, gas stations have kilometre-long queues, but most have no fuel to offer. Extreme heat is also causing pumps to break down en masse. ⬇️

1/ Six crippled Russian soldiers, some on crutches, are sent to their deaths in Ukraine with three bulletproof vests and two automatic rifles between them. "It's just fucking crazy," says the man filming it, who is now likely missing in action. ⬇️

1/ In a stark illustration of the impact of Ukraine's drone strike campaign against Russian refineries, videos from occupied Mariupol show vehicles all but absent from the streets, with burned-out trucks visible along the roads. A Russian commentary highlights the crisis. ⬇️

1/ Capitalism, Russian style: the situation at a gas station on the Kurchanskaya bypass in Temryuk, Krasnodar Krai. "They fill canisters and resell them right away. And we locals stand in line for half a day."

1/ Ukraine is reportedly using large 'drone carrier' unmanned surface vessels (USVs), each carrying between six to eight FPV drones as well as themobaric rockets, to attack multiple targets on the strategic Kinburn Peninsula in Crimea. ⬇️

1/ The Russian government claims that Ukraine's drone attacks against Russia are for political rather than military aims, given the supposed impossibility of a Ukrainian victory. A Russian warblogger warns that this is a dangerous illusion resulting from distorted information. ⬇️

1/ Over a thousand Russian soldiers who are sick, injured, or refusing to fight are being held prisoner in a concentration camp. They are chained to their bunks and denied medical treatment or hearings before they are sent to Ukraine to die en masse in 'meat wave' assaults. ⬇️

1/ A shadow war is being fought over the Russian army's access to Starlink. The Russians face a constant battle with Starlink itself and Ukrainian hackers deactivating their terminals, and obstruction from the Russian customs service holding up grey imports of Starlink devices.⬇️

1/ Russia's BMD-4M is virtually defenceless against FPV drones and prone to exploding spectacularly when hit. This is being blamed on outdated requirements for the vehicle to be air-droppable and amphibious, which its own makers admit have left it "virtually devoid of armour". ⬇️

1/ In an unfortunate musical choice, a memorial to a soldier from Buryatia killed in Ukraine in 2022 was unveiled in his home town accompanied by the national anthem of the totalitarian state in the 'Hunger Games' movies. ⬇️

1/ Russian Railways is reported to have faked a Ukrainian attack to cover up its own culpability for a fatal derailment in the Leningrad region in September 2025, caused when a locomotive was ordered to be driven at over twice the permitted line speed. ⬇️

1/ Israel launched drones which attacked targets in Iran using what may have been an identical method to that employed by Ukraine recently. A video shows what appears to be a commercial vehicle, reportedly used as a drone launcher, self-destructing near Tehran yesterday. ⬇️

1/ Ukraine's ongoing waves of drone attacks against Russian oil refineries are causing more discontent and complaints from Russian warbloggers, who are demanding that more should be done to stop them. ⬇️

1/ Daniel Martindale, the US missionary who has defected to Russia and publicly declared that he has spent the last two years spying on the Ukrainian military, describes himself as a Christian and 'conservative American', and subscribes to a wide range of conspiracy theories. ⬇️

1/ At least 14 seriously injured soldiers who were preparing to be invalided out of the Russian army have abruptly been declared fit, despite being on crutches and in plaster casts, and have been sent to an assault squad, according to their relatives. ⬇️

1/ 'Armoured loaves' – UAZ-452 vans converted into 'bunkers on wheels' – have become a standard fixture among Russian forces in Ukraine. With the Russian army largely no longer using armour at the front line due to the drone threat, soldiers are creating their own solutions. ⬇️

1/ Ukraine's dominance of the 'lower sky' and its widespread use of 'waiting drones' has made large-scale Russian vehicle assaults virtually impossible. A Russian video shows numerous Ukrainian drones sitting on a road, waiting to carry out attacks on Russian forces. ⬇️

1/ Russia's fuel crisis isn't just about a lack of fuel being produced by refineries. The country is in the grip of a full-blown fuel panic, with people buying far more fuel than normal to get ahead of shortages and in some cases to resell fuel for profit. ⬇️

1/ Iran is using a unique type of loitering, self-targeting surface to air missile to shoot down US MQ-9 Reaper drones. 11 Reapers costing over $330 million have so far been reported destroyed in the war with Iran. ⬇️

1/ A Russian military police officer who stole 2 million rubles from a mentally disabled recruit was sent to an assault unit. However, illustrating the current state of morale on the front lines, he and three comrades reportedly blew their own legs off to avoid going to fight. ⬇️

1/ A wounded Russian soldier was buried up to his neck in a so-called "tight pit" to 'remotivate' him to go on an assault. In a video, the man names his commanders, whom he says are running an extortion racket, and appeals for help from the military authorities. ⬇️

1/ THE SINKING OF MOSKVA, PART 2: The sinking of the Russian Black Sea Fleet flagship on 13-14 April 2022 was the greatest loss for the Russian Navy since World War II. The father of one of the dead sailors has published an inside account of how it happened. ⬇️

1/ A Russian soldier fighting in Chasiv Yar says that new recruits sent to the front die almost immediately, with his own unit taking over 90% casualties. The fields are strewn with rotting corpses. To avoid having to pay compensation to relatives, collecting IDs is banned. ⬇️

1/ Russian milbloggers are furious at the failure of Russia's Ministry of Defence to protect the Kursk region border from the current large-scale Ukrainian incursion. They call the situation there "hell on earth".

1/ A Russian soldier captured by Ukraine recorded himself looting an abandoned house in the Kursk region. The video was reportedly retrieved from his mobile phone. It potentially corroborates reports of widespread looting from their own civilians by the Russian military. ⬇️

1/ Corruption may have contributed to Ukraine's ability to destroy Russia's 107th GRAU arsenal at Toropets. The site's construction was overseen by former Deputy Minister of Defence General Dmitry Bulgakov, who was arrested for fraud in July 2024. ⬇️

1/ A Russian 767 aircraft that suffered an engine failure when trying to take off from Phuket airport in February had reportedly gone 3 years without the engine being inspected, due to Western sanctions. This has serious implications for air safety. ⬇️

1/ A member of Russia's military police says that they have been ordered to impose at least 15 fines per day, or face being sent to their deaths in stormtrooper squads. Because they are so widely hated, they are sent to fight alongside convicts and 'undesirables'. ⬇️

1/ Russian forces on the Dnipro river are suffering huge casualties – which one soldier puts at 80% – and an acute shortage of boats and supplies as they attempt to make crossings against fierce Ukrainian opposition. ⬇️

A thousand Russians are being killed and injured every day in Ukraine, mostly by drone attacks. This is what it looks like on the ground, as seen by a Russian soldier who angrily denounces Putin while standing amongst the corpses of his unit, of which he is the last survivor.

1/ Fuel has completely run out in parts of Crimea: 'Military Informant' reports that Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev stated that fuel tankers were unable to arrive in the city, so fuel will not be available for sale today.

1/ Badly injured Russian soldiers are being denied recuperation and are sent into frontline assaults on canes and crutches. Outraged Russian milbloggers blame field commanders for refusing to allow medical leave, but the blame likely goes much higher. ⬇️

1/ A prominent Russian warblogger and Ka-52 helicopter pilot appears to have killed himself after posting an apparent farewell video on Telegram. 'Voivode', real name Alexey Zemtsov, says he has committed suicide due to pressure from his superiors. ⬇️

Exclusive footage of President Zelenskyy doing target selection before today's drone strikes

1/ A former Russian police officer who is preparing for his imminent murder in Ukraine has recorded a farewell video explaining the circumstances of his death to his relatives. He says that a Russian major general has ordered that he is to die on the front line. ⬇️
