A week of strikes on the infrastructure that keeps the Russian army running. In Voronezh region, Ukraine’s Defense Forces hit six Su-34M bombers, the aircraft Russia uses to drop glide bombs on Ukrainian towns. Five more facilities serving the Russian military were struck, including three oil refineries. In the temporarily occupied part of Kherson region, an enemy UAV operator training center was destroyed. Every target struck leaves Russia with fewer resources for its war and pushes it closer to peace. 👇

The world’s best gamers would envy this level of play. Ukrainian interceptor drone pilots catch Russian recon and strike drones in the air and turn them into falling scrap. For warriors on the front line, each downed drone is one less threat overhead. For cities in the rear, it is one more quiet night. 📹: 38th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment

This is what tank warfare looks like in 2026. Warriors of the 475th Assault Regiment sent their armor into a combat mission with full aerial support. FPV drones, quadcopters, and a heavy bomber drone flew cover the entire way, clearing threats before they could reach the vehicles.

🇺🇦 Today Ukraine marks the professional day of its military logisticians. They deliver weapons, ammunition, fuel, food, and water to the front, drive supply routes under fire, and bring damaged equipment back into service. Every unit’s ability to fight depends on them. Minister of Defence Evgeniy Khmara: “Thank you to each and every one of you for your professionalism, endurance, and responsibility.” We honor the memory of the fallen logistics warriors. Glory to Ukraine!

Russia kills. Ukraine responds. Over the past week, Ukraine's Defense Forces hit five important facilities serving the Russian army. Among them are the Samara production station, the Omsk refinery 2,500 km from Ukraine, and the Salavat refinery, one of the largest oil refining complexes in Russia. Sites where enemy UAVs are stored, prepared and launched were struck as well. We are depriving the enemy of resources and forcing Russia to peace. To be continued. 💥

In the first days of the full-scale war, thousands of volunteers of every age, profession, and level of military experience joined the ranks of the Territorial Defense Forces and fought the enemy back. Each of them made a conscious choice: to defend their land, their cities, and their families. On Territorial Defense Day, Minister of Defence Evgeniy Khmara congratulated Ukraine's warriors. Today, the Territorial Defense Forces are an integral part of Ukraine's Defense Forces, built on the strength of volunteers. They proved their effectiveness in the hardest periods of the war, and they keep proving it now. We value your service. We are grateful to every warrior and veteran of the Territorial Defense Forces. We honor those who gave their lives for Ukraine. We must be worthy of their memory. Always. Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦

This morning, the Russians once again struck the Pivnichnyi Bridge in Kyiv with a drone. They attacked an ordinary pharmaceutical warehouse in Sumy with drones. Tragically, one person was killed. My condolences to the family and loved ones. In Dnipro, they struck a communications facility. Six people were injured as a result of these attacks. Overnight, the Russians launched 135 attack drones against Ukraine, more than 50 of them jet-powered. Kyiv, the Dnipro, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Sumy, and Zaporizhzhia regions came under attack. And among the main targets of these terrorists, as always, are ordinary residential buildings, critical infrastructure – everything that makes up normal everyday life. There are power outages in some communities. Our services are working at the impact sites. It is important that Ukraine is not left alone against this terror. This week alone, the Russians have used more than 1,900 attack drones, 1,700 aerial bombs, and 25 missiles against Ukraine. More than 800 of the drones were jet-powered, and Russia must be held accountable for this escalation. Today, Friedrich Merz Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz – Federal Chancellor of Germany – is visiting Kyiv. A leader of a country that consistently demonstrates leadership in protecting the lives of Ukrainians from Russian strikes. We are grateful for all the support, and today we are preparing decisions to give us in Ukraine, and all of Europe, greater capabilities to defend ourselves. There will be important agreements between Ukraine and Germany. Russia must be stopped together. Thank you to everyone who is helping. Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський

A gaming console now controls a combat turret on the front line. The setup lets the operator fire remotely, away from the position and out of the line of fire. Just another example of Ukraine's Defense Forces adapting consumer technology to what the battlefield demands.

Another strike on a Russian oil refinery in Omsk – one of the major refineries – as well as on the Ukhta oil refinery, 1,900 kilometers from Ukraine’s state border. The target in Ukhta was hit by An-196 RS drones, which can fly about 2,500 kilometers, while FP-6 drones (modified FP-1s) were used against the Omsk refinery the day before. We continue to respond to Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, and we’re doing so with high precision. Another data center was hit as well – our symmetrical response. An important display of accuracy by our warriors. Glory to Ukraine! Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський

An F-16 without missiles is a "useless tool." That's how "Phantom," an F-16 wing commander with Ukrainian Air Force, puts it. Every night, our pilots take on Russian drones and cruise missiles over Ukrainian cities. On some missions, with air-to-air missiles in short supply, they finish the job with the onboard cannon. The jets are here. The skill is here. What we need now is more AIM-9s or AIM-120s and Patriot missiles. 📹: NEWSMAX 2
