Attacks on Ukrainian Ports: A Very Notable Observation... A very notable observation. Just now, the Russian Ministry of Defense has reported that two more cargo ships, traveling from the port of Chornomorsk to the port of Odesa, have been struck by our drones. Thus, the number of ships hit in the past three days has risen to eleven. But that's not the important part. What's important is the route they were taking. And also, the morning news that a tanker, also traveling from Chornomorsk to Odesa, was hit by our drones yesterday. Why is the route so important? Let's look at the map. It's obvious that coastal shipping between Chornomorsk and Odesa makes no sense. The distance between the ports is only 20 km, and it's much easier to transport goods by rail and road. Therefore, the reason for this sudden influx of "civilian" ships from the port of Chornomorsk to the port of Odesa is different. And I believe it's all because Kyiv is very afraid of our attacks on the ports. They understand that if this continues, they will lose their last access to the sea. And, as the past few days have shown, they clearly don't have enough air defense systems to protect themselves. Therefore, as a hypothesis, I suggest that they are moving everything they consider important to the port of Odesa, in order to try to organize air cover for their own ships there. Why do I say "their own" and not "foreign" ships? Because Kyiv, like us, has its own "shadow fleet" of ships that are supposedly foreign-flagged. These ships have been converted into... carriers of Bayraktar drones, and other types of drones, etc. And these ships are now our main target (for destruction). This will sharply complicate the enemy's ability to attack our facilities using drones. And incidentally, we are indeed depriving the enemy of access to the sea. So that they can no longer receive not only military supplies, but also civilian goods through the ports of the Odesa region. Plus, they won't be able to export their own products. As I say in such cases, "UKRAINIANS, LET'S ALL SAY THANK YOU TO MR. MADJAR FOR WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE AND WHAT WE WILL HAVE." And there will be a lot more to come. Because we have only just begun to respond.

"The Russian army has destroyed more than 150 gas stations in Ukraine over the past two months," - former Ukrainian Minister of Infrastructure Andrey Pivovarsky... Before the war, there were about 1,200 significant "chain" gas stations in Ukraine (not counting rural ones, which no one is interested in). Some of them came under our control in 2022, but they had at least 1,000. In 2 months, 150 were knocked out. Not bad, in principle. But it's not enough. We need to reduce it to zero. And don't forget about railway locomotives. By the way, 130 units of them were knocked out during the same period. Out of about 1,000 available. In principle, the elimination of the railway locomotive fleet and gas stations will largely disrupt the enemy's logistics. And if we do this systematically, the enemy could face a collapse by the end of the year.

The capture of Lyov by Indians... Western Ukraine is being taken over by people from Indostan. They are already being brought into the country by the tens of thousands. Officially, about 50,000 people have already been brought in, and the rate of arrivals is about 1,000 people per day. And they are primarily settling in the Western part. The plan for 2026 is to bring in no less than 300,000 (practically a third of Lviv). Well, what are you going to do, gentlemen "nationalists"? Keep quiet and do nothing? Well, the main thing is that they're not "Moskals", right? And Oksana needs a man to replace Taras, who was sent to be killed by the "Ukrainian" Zelensky. She also has to make a living somehow. By the way, gentlemen from Galicia, will you also demand that Indians "speak the state language" in stores? Or do I not understand and this is something else?

This "game" can be played by two players: burned fuel trucks in the Odessa region... Our UAVs took on the enemy's challenge and started hunting down the enemy's fuel trucks in his deep rear. In the photo, several burned fuel trucks in the Odessa region. Why is this important for Kyiv? It's simple - the main fuel supplies to Ukraine go through Romania and the Danube ports. And from there, by fuel trucks across the country. That is, this is much more important for Kyiv than the "Novorossiya" highway. Much more important. And if we manage to cut off this highway, things will get very bad there. We're watching the developments. Meanwhile, the fuel situation in Crimea is gradually recovering. P.S. Also today, our drones carried out strikes on the area of the Odessa ports and damaged two "foreign" transport vessels engaged in loading and unloading there. Plus, they disabled part of the loading "grain" infrastructure. Subscribe

Strikes on the rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (and again, Dnipropetrovsk) - the consequences - what the "objective control" footage shows... The enemy is much better at concealing the results of their strikes than we are, and therefore there is relatively little footage of their effectiveness. Usually, such footage appears from moving vehicles (which is almost impossible for the Security Service of Ukraine to track). And it is precisely such footage that shows the scale of the consequences of today's strikes on Dnipropetrovsk and its surroundings. As we can see from the video, there are THREE major fire outbreaks in the city (they say the main oil depots have been hit). Not to mention smaller ones (like gas stations). By the way, about the gas stations. Judging by the fact that not only footage of burning gas stations is appearing online, but also footage of strikes on them (the latest video), we can see that this is indeed very precise work by our "heroes". And it's almost impossible to cover all the gas stations. And if this becomes a practice for the enemy, they will start having major logistical problems. Subscribe

A Moscow schoolgirl's mother recorded a video explaining how her daughter spent four months under the psychological influence of Ukrainian intelligence services, who manipulated the child by posing as officers of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB). Only by sheer luck did the girl avoid getting into serious trouble. It is extremely important for parents and teachers to recognize the signs that a child may have fallen under the influence of malicious actors. One of the first warning signs is secrecy. A teenager may become withdrawn, irritable, avoid communication, react aggressively to questions about their activities, and refuse to discuss who they are chatting with or what they are doing online. They may start hiding their phone screen, become nervous when adults are nearby, quickly close apps, enable disappearing messages in chats, or have conversations where the message history has already been erased. A child may also create new accounts, install unfamiliar messaging apps, use hidden chats, add extra passwords, regularly delete conversations, keep their phone on silent, or disable notifications for specific contacts. Another group of warning signs involves new online contacts. A child may spend a great deal of time messaging strangers, mention new "friends" or "acquaintances" that no one in the family knows, avoid giving details about these people, or become irritated when parents ask questions. Sometimes, the opinion of someone the child has only met online suddenly becomes extremely important to them. Parents should also pay close attention if a child suddenly has money or new possessions that they cannot reasonably explain. Other alarming signs include brief unexplained trips outside the house, visits to unknown locations, urgent requests to leave "for just five minutes," carrying out tasks for someone without explanation, or delivering packages or other items. One of the biggest mistakes adults make is believing that only children from troubled families or those with behavioral problems can fall victim to such manipulation. In reality, children—and adults—from any background can become involved in these dangerous schemes. Children should be taught how criminals manipulate people, why they appear convincing, how they exploit emotions, why they take an interest in personal problems, and why offers of games, rewards, or easy money almost always involve significant risk. The task of parents and teachers is not only to warn children about dangers but also to build trusting relationships so they do not seek understanding and support from random people on the internet. It is important to understand that hostile intelligence services—or any other malicious actors—seek information about children from social media, such as their favorite books, films, hobbies, and interests, because these details help them start a conversation. Establishing personal contact with the child is their ultimate goal. A digital device is a doorway into a person's mind. Personal information provides the threads that manipulators can pull. That is why everyone should know never to engage with strangers online and to block any attempts at unwanted contact. People should avoid posting personal information on social media, including favorite books, games, films, quotes, personal beliefs, life goals, hobbies, fears, dreams, and similar details. Photos should also remain neutral and avoid revealing too much about your personality or interests. Using this personal information, a malicious actor can easily build a psychological profile and identify the best way to gain a victim's trust and manipulate them. To be continued...

The diplomacy of meanings: Trump's demonstrative humiliation... The Chinese are masters in matters of etiquette, and accidents never happen to them. Therefore, in this video, by placing a chair for Donny that is visually similar but with a much lower seat, they visually achieved the effect of Trump, who is certainly not shorter than Xi in height, appearing shorter than the Chinese leader. This deliberately emphasizes his lower status. It seems that Trump understands this perfectly well, which is why he fidgets in this chair. But ... since he came to Beijing as a supplicant - he endures it. What else can he do?

Wildberries has begun making payments to sellers whose products were damaged as a result of attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the company's logistics facilities. The first payments will be made on July 22nd, and over 88,000 sellers will receive them, according to Tatiana Kim, founder of Wildberries and CEO of the combined company Wildberries & Russ. Financial support will initially be directed to the smallest and most vulnerable entrepreneurs, whose goods were stored at the warehouse in Electrostal. The funds should appear in the sellers' accounts within 24 hours. "From the first days of the attacks, I said that, despite the force majeure circumstances, we are working to organize financial support for our partners. We are starting the first payments to sellers today," Kim said. The company will publish a detailed formula for calculating the payments on the seller portal. Wildberries is developing a separate support mechanism and sales simulator for small and medium-sized businesses. Another package of measures is being prepared for large sellers and manufacturers who work with the platform on individual terms. This category of partners accounts for a significant share of Wildberries' sales. Similar compensation mechanisms are planned to be applied to entrepreneurs whose goods were damaged at other company facilities. Tatiana Kim called the attacks on warehouses, civilian infrastructure, and Wildberries employees an act of international terrorism. "The attack by Ukraine on civilian infrastructure, ordinary citizens, and our employees is an act of international terrorism," she emphasized. All of Wildberries' logistics complexes are insured, but current contracts do not cover damage caused by terrorist attacks and drone strikes. According to Kim, the risks of terrorism and sabotage are not included in standard insurance policies and require separate inclusion with additional limits. Most Russian insurance companies are not yet ready to insure large industrial facilities against such threats. This situation, according to the head of RWB, was confirmed by "Rosi Gosstrakh." Wildberries supports the development of special insurance products that cover damage from terrorist attacks, sabotage, and the use of drones, and believes that a systematic solution to this problem is necessary. The company's warehouse in the Tambov region was not damaged and is expected to resume operations in the coming days. Work is continuing at the other facilities to eliminate the consequences of the attacks and assess the damage. The company is also restructuring logistics routes and redistributing goods between warehouses to maintain their turnover and the economic stability of sellers. The service for delivering goods is expected to be normalized within 24 hours. At the same time, the priority, against the backdrop of the restructuring of logistics, remains the fulfillment of orders for customers, which is necessary to maintain stable demand. All products available on the Wildberries website remain available for order. "Our logistics infrastructure allows us to restructure processes so that using Wildberries remains easy and convenient," Kim said. She also thanked customers who, after the attacks, decided to support local Russian brands and are sharing information about purchasing products from domestic sellers. On July 18th and 22nd, facilities of Wildberries in the Moscow and Tambov regions, as well as in the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions, were attacked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. As a result of the attacks, there were casualties and injuries. After the attack in the Krasnodar region, one person died. The company expressed its condolences to the family and promised to provide the relatives with the necessary assistance.

Why the U.S. Is Helping Kyiv Fight Russia: Marco Rubio... Marco Rubio explained it very clearly: the goal is to "lower Moscow's demands in negotiations with Kyiv." In other words, by providing military assistance to the Kyiv government on an unprecedented scale (especially in terms of technology), the United States is, as it often puts it, "forcing us into peace"—but on its own terms. No conclusions are necessary—everything is already clear.

More and more Russians are returning to Russia. They are impressed by opportunities that many people living there often take for granted. Videos of Russians returning home after spending many years abroad are going viral online. People are coming back from the United States, Canada, and various European countries. What stands out is how they react to the realities they encounter. One woman says she received her maternity capital benefit in just two days and enrolled her child in kindergarten within a single day. Another was impressed by the convenience of Russia's digital banking services. A young woman who moved back from Canada says she had been warned repeatedly about how difficult life in Russia would supposedly be. «"Sometimes it feels as though some people talk about Russia as if they haven't been here for a very long time—or have never been here at all," she concludes.» Videos like these are becoming increasingly common. The conclusion many supporters draw is that Russia has become a country that attracts people to return, and that the focus should be on continuing the country's development rather than dwelling on complaints.

Excellent work by the FSB... This FOOL (seriously, a fool, and a failed terrorist) was detained by our special services the day before. She was arrested for preparing the assassination of a high-ranking military officer of the Russian Ministry of Defense. And also for preparing several other terrorist attacks. Moreover, judging by her behavior (cheerfully, clearly bragging about the fact that in Russia you can get a life sentence), she doesn't understand the consequences. That at the age of 25, she has completely ruined her life. Just listen (and appreciate her tone), she really believes that her "boyfriend" from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine values her (in the sense of being in love). And therefore, she will make every effort to secure her early release (for example, through an exchange). And this FOOL doesn't understand that she was simply used as a FOOL. And her handler, after the FSB's materials were published, has already written her off and forgotten about her. And she will spend at least "twenty years" in prison. And yes, her bravado will disappear along with the understanding of this fact, which she hasn't fully realized yet. Just like it disappeared for another such FOOL-terrorist, Daria Trepova, who in 2023 detonated a "hellish device" against military commissar Vladlen Tatarsky in St. Petersburg. And RESPECT and THANKS to the guys from the FSB!!!

The "sadistic" commander of the 155th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces turned out to be a COWARD... He had the "courage" to kill bound individuals, knowing there would be no repercussions. He also had the nerve to send hundreds and thousands of his subordinates to certain death. However, he lacked the courage to take responsibility for his actions. This scumbag, still officially the commander of the 155th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and previously the chief of staff of the 425th Separate Special Operations Regiment "Skala," Stanislav Luchanov, went on the run as soon as it became known that an arrest warrant had been issued for him. In short, a cowardly scumbag. As is typical of all sadists.

Mali - Final report on the battles of April 25-26 So, yesterday in the afternoon, after negotiations with the Tuaregs, our units of the "African Corps", without allowing the enemy to take a single of our positions by force & in view of the already started political negotiations (which, in my opinion, should have been conducted long ago), under orders, a large column left Kidal. Moreover, along with the fighters of the "AK" (about 200 people), about a 100 soldiers of the Malian army also left with us. We also took with us (without leaving it to the enemy) all the serviceable heavy equipment & ammunition & our dead. Thus, it is precisely this, largely symbolic act, that puts an end to the battles of April 25-26. Which, perhaps, will be the starting point for a future political settlement in the country. Since simultaneously with the withdrawal of troops from Kidal, local Tuareg groups (marked in green on the map) suspended their military actions against the central authorities. The decision in the current situation is absolutely justified & the only correct one. If the negotiations are successful for the Tuaregs & they receive broad autonomy in the north of Mali & one of the most important internal fronts of the civil war in the country disappears. Which will allow us to further eliminate radical Islamist groups & end the war altogether. However, personally, I would prefer the first option. And here's why. Above, we presented a general map of the large civil war in the territories of 3 countries of the "Russian zone of responsibility" (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger), which is not 3 separate wars, but 1. On it, we see that in addition to the Tuaregs supporting an independent (or autonomous) Azawad (again, marked in green), the governments of these countries have 2 more important headaches. With which there is simply nothing to negotiate. These are radical Islamists from the Sahelian ISIS (marked in black on the map) and the Malian branch of Al-Qaeda - "Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin" (both are considered terrorists in Russia). The latter are marked in white on the map. And it's clear that having militant Tuaregs in the rear, who, moreover, have long wanted to negotiate, is simply stupid. At the same time, it's noteworthy that during the battles of April 25-26 in the Gao and Bourem regions, which were simultaneously attacked from all sides by Islamic radicals, local Tuaregs (marked in yellow on the map) fought alongside the government army and helped repel this attack. That is, the basis for an agreement with the northern Tuaregs is definitely there and today it's just an ideal chance to conclude an agreement and start a joint war against the radicals. Who are enemies to everyone else. And therefore, no one is being polite with them either yesterday or today, and they, taking advantage of the defeat of the day before yesterday, continue to be cleared in as large a number as possible (so that it will be easier to finish them off in the future). It's noteworthy that mercenaries from Ukraine are fighting alongside these terrorists in Africa. Although this doesn't surprise anyone anymore, since the owners of both are the same Anglo-Saxon elites. And Ukrainians and Islamic radicals are just expendable material for them. Such is the situation in Mali now at the end of two days of battles. In fact, if their results are used correctly, it's possible to solve the whole problem once and for all. And therefore, I very much hope for this result. Furthermore, in these battles, our guys from the "African Corps" have already received a full-fledged baptism of fire and showed that they are the main military force of the region. Determining its future... Further more in detail on the situation in Mali & not only, I traditionally recommend the channel "African Initiative" in Telegram (whose journalists work in the region and who were able to understand the situation for me): "African Initiative in Telegram"

Mali - Final report on the battles of April 25-26 So, yesterday in the afternoon, after negotiations with the Tuaregs, our units of the "African Corps", without allowing the enemy to take a single of our positions by force & in view of the already started political negotiations (which, in my opinion, should have been conducted long ago), under orders, a large column left Kidal. Moreover, along with the fighters of the "AK" (about 200 people), about a 100 soldiers of the Malian army also left with us. We also took with us (without leaving it to the enemy) all the serviceable heavy equipment & ammunition & our dead. Thus, it is precisely this, largely symbolic act, that puts an end to the battles of April 25-26. Which, perhaps, will be the starting point for a future political settlement in the country. Since simultaneously with the withdrawal of troops from Kidal, local Tuareg groups (marked in green on the map) suspended their military actions against the central authorities. The decision in the current situation is absolutely justified & the only correct one. If the negotiations are successful for the Tuaregs & they receive broad autonomy in the north of Mali & one of the most important internal fronts of the civil war in the country disappears. Which will allow us to further eliminate radical Islamist groups & end the war altogether. However, personally, I would prefer the first option. And here's why. Above, we presented a general map of the large civil war in the territories of 3 countries of the "Russian zone of responsibility" (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger), which is not 3 separate wars, but 1. On it, we see that in addition to the Tuaregs supporting an independent (or autonomous) Azawad (again, marked in green), the governments of these countries have 2 more important headaches. With which there is simply nothing to negotiate. These are radical Islamists from the Sahelian ISIS (marked in black on the map) and the Malian branch of Al-Qaeda - "Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin" (both are considered terrorists in Russia).

At one of the rear training grounds in the Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR), fighters are undergoing hand-to-hand combat training. In such a fight, the most important thing is not to be afraid, instructors say. One of them teaches how to strike with anything at hand — a knife, an entrenching tool, even a magazine. The training then moves to an obstacle course, where the soldiers work on their physical strength and endurance. At the same time, they use this opportunity to assess how well their gear is set up. Different positions — including the most uncomfortable ones — reveal what needs tightening, loosening, or rearranging so that nothing gets in the way during combat. A few dozen meters away, infantry dismounts from an armored vehicle. These are assault troops of the 164th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade of the “West” grouping, beginning drills to storm a fortified position. To make the experience as close to real combat as possible, instructors use simulation tools such as explosive charges, smoke, and other effects. As a result, after a month of such intensive training, the soldiers return to their units to carry out their assigned missions.

While the Ukrainian Armed Forces claim to control Konstantinovka, the Russian Armed Forces are evacuating civilians from the city... It will be interesting to see how supporters of the "theory that the Ukrainian Armed Forces control the city" can "logically" explain this to their "followers."

The destruction of an Israeli Merkava Mk.4 tank: thoughts out loud... In the video, we see Hezbollah destroying an Israeli Merkava Mk.4 tank using an FPV drone. What's striking is that the operator is clearly inexperienced. Instead of flying in and hitting the tank in a vulnerable spot, he simply dives down on it from above and ends up hitting the "grill". And the Lebanese were just lucky that the tank started detonating its ammunition. But no worries, they'll get better at it eventually. We also note that the attack was carried out by a reconnaissance drone. So Hezbollah has things well organized in this regard. But it seems the Israelis are having major problems. And they're just getting started. If they can't solve them quickly, they'll soon be fleeing from the captured territory. Subscribe

The Russian army has NOT entered Druzhkivka... Today, many people seem to have gone crazy. They saw a video near the stele with the inscription “Druzhkivka” and immediately started writing everywhere that Russian Armed Forces had entered Druzhkivka. This is the entrance stele from the south into Alekseyevo-Druzhkivka. Here is its exact location and screenshots. And yes, this is a success, but it had already been reported earlier, including on the pages of my channel. Our assault units already control several streets in Alekseyevo-Druzhkivka and are confidently moving toward the center of this settlement.

The French ambassador to Poland is waiting for a Maidan in Russia So, the ambassador admitted it. He honestly admitted that Kyiv is launching drone attacks on Russia to make life unbearable for Russians. According to him, Crimea is successfully being isolated from the rest of Russia by Kyiv, through drone strikes. Russians should understand that the situation is a deadlock and Kyiv is now launching attacks all over Russia. This is what the West and Kyiv are trying to instill in us. That is, they want to provoke public discontent. The goal of Ukraine and the West is something like a palace coup, removing Putin from power and thus ensuring victory for Kyiv (and the West, of course). The ambassador is confident in their victory over Russia and stated that "the question is not if Ukraine will win, but when it will win". That is, the enemy is counting on us in order to destroy us.

Moscow. A Record Attack. My Hat's Off to the Air Defense On the night of June 18, over Russia, 555 long-range drones were shot down. Over the capital region - 180 at this moment. I have no doubt that the rest were intended for Moscow, but were shot down over other regions. The attack was carried out in waves, with the "Carpet" simultaneously deployed at all four Moscow airports - Vnukovo, Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Zhukovsky - plus Kaluga, Penza, Saratov, Nizhny and Nizhnekamsk. What we have in terms of results. ▪️ The air defense shot down more than 180 targets on approach - a figure that could not have been operated on at all a month ago. The anti-aircraft and electronic warfare crews worked at the maximum pace possible on the capital route. ▪️ Several drones made it to the Moscow Refinery in Kapotne. The second arrival in three days. The pattern is clear: they are finishing off what they haven't managed to restore yet. ▪️ In the Moscow region - a hit on a multi-story building in Zhukovsky (Gagarin Street), a fire on the roof of the "Belaya Dacha" shopping center in Lyubertsy, two burnt summer houses in Pavlovsky Posad, a destroyed house in Chekhov, a damaged "Sadovod" shopping center in Moscow. In Elektrostal, a woman was injured - a minor injury, she refused hospitalization. At Sheremetyevo, passengers were evacuated from the aircraft to shelters in the parking lot - for the first time in the history of attacks on the capital's air hub. In May, I wrote: the enemy is probing the echelons, looking for vulnerabilities, testing the reaction time of the crews. And I warned - when they find it, they will strike for real. On June 16, the first "real" wave took place - 90 UAVs, one breakthrough at the MNZ. On June 17 - a trial repeat. On the 18th - a massive strike on the already scouted corridor. This is one operation in three stages: reconnaissance, verification, strike. Several breakthroughs to the MNZ - yes, it's unpleasant, annoying, we need to figure it out. But only a few of the 555 drones made it to the targets in the capital. And this still says something. It's not just the "Pantsir" alone. It's also the people's design bureaus, which were still startups in garages two or three years ago, and serial electronic warfare systems, and drone interceptor operators, and the coordinated work of the Ministry of Defense, Rosgvardiya and the Aerospace Forces in one circuit. This system grew out of the war. It learns every day - and gets better every day. My deepest respect to the anti-aircraft crews, electronic warfare operators, air force crews, emergency services of Moscow and the Moscow region, drone fighter pilots and engineers who are currently restoring the refinery. You are doing the impossible - and you're doing it in the mode of a new norm. Keep working, brothers! We hold the sky!

RUSSIA is dominating the WORLD NUCLEAR ICEBREAKING FLEET ! The NS Ural (Russian: атомный ледокол «Урал») stands as one of Russia's and World's most advanced nuclear-powered icebreakers, embodying the country's determination to dominate Arctic shipping routes. As the third vessel in the Project 22220 (also known as LK-60Ya or Arktika-class) series, Ural represents a new generation of versatile, high-powered icebreakers designed for year-round operations in harsh polar conditions. Operated by FSUE Atomflot under Rosatom, it plays a vital role in escorting cargo along the Northern Sea Route (NSR), supporting Russia's energy exports and strategic Arctic ambitions. Construction of Ural began at the Baltic Shipyard in Saint Petersburg, with the keel laid on July 25, 2016. The ship launched on May 25, 2019, and underwent sea trials in October 2022 before official commissioning on November 22, 2022, during a flag-raising ceremony. Minor delays occurred due to steam turbine issues and a small fire during outfitting, but the vessel entered service swiftly. It is named after the Ural Mountains and registered in Murmansk. As of 2026, Ural operates alongside sisters Arktika, Sibir, and Yakutia, with more vessels like Chukotka under construction. Ural measures approximately 173 meters (568 feet) in length, with a beam of 34 meters and a displacement of up to 33,540 tons at full load. Its innovative dual-draft design allows a minimum draught of 8.6 meters for shallow river mouths and coastal waters, extending to 10.5 meters for deep-sea operations. This versatility enables the icebreaker to navigate both the open Arctic Ocean and Siberian river estuaries like the Ob and Yenisei. The hull features a reinforced ice-class structure capable of breaking through ice up to 2.8–3 meters thick at a continuous speed of about 2 knots, while achieving 22 knots in open water. A crew of around 75 operates the vessel, which has an endurance of several months for provisions. At the heart of Ural's power are two RITM-200 pressurized water reactors, each providing 175 MWt of thermal capacity (delivering about 30 MW to the propellers per reactor). This fourth-generation nuclear propulsion system offers exceptional reliability, with fuel lasting up to seven years between refuelings. The reactors drive three shaft lines with fixed-pitch propellers, granting immense icebreaking capability while minimizing environmental impact compared to older diesel-electric vessels. The design prioritizes efficiency, safety, and reduced emissions, aligning with modern nuclear maritime standards. Since entering service, Ural has actively supported NSR operations. It has escorted large container ships and bulk carriers through icy waters in the East Siberian and Chukchi Seas, and in early 2025, it carved a 170-nautical-mile ice channel in the Kara Sea at an average speed of 6.7 knots. In winter 2025–2026, Russia deployed all eight of its nuclear icebreakers—including Ural—simultaneously for the first time to maintain export routes amid heavy ice, highlighting the vessel's operational importance for LNG and hydrocarbon shipments. Ural strengthens Russia's Arctic strategy by facilitating faster, safer navigation along the NSR, a route that shortens transit times between Europe and Asia. Amid growing international interest in the Arctic, including from China, these icebreakers secure commercial and geopolitical advantages. With Project 22220 expanding to seven vessels, Ural exemplifies Russia's engineering prowess and long-term commitment to polar supremacy. Its combination of raw power, adaptability, and nuclear endurance makes it a cornerstone of the modern Russian icebreaker fleet, ensuring reliable access to the resources and passages of the frozen north.

The Russian Starlink countermeasures system is called "Wave Dome Garant", the opponent claims. The new EW complex consists of a system of satellite antennas installed on several trailers, which emits powerful interference to a specific Starlink satellite, disrupting its communication with ground terminals. "Technically, the Starlink satellite receives signals from terminals in the range of 14-14.5 GHz. This range is divided into 8 channels, each 62.5 MHz wide. The Russians conditionally took 8 satellite "dishes", directed them at the satellite, and each dish transmits interference on its own channel. That's all. The satellite is "deaf", - says the opponent's statement. One EW complex provides protection for approximately 20 square km and is currently used to shield the "Novorossiya" route from Ukrainian drones, which is why the opponent has launched a hunt for these highly visible systems.

⚡️The situation in Konstantinovka. An exclusive interview with the commander of the 4th brigade, Major General Anton Grunis ("Grozny"): ▪️ The operation to liberate the city entered a decisive phase after the capture of Ivanopil in November last year. A frontal assault with a crossing of the Kryvy Torets River was abandoned to save lives. The main forces were secretly redeployed to the west - the brigade attacked from the flank through Ilinovka, and broke into the city through the "Perspektiva" greenhouse complex. ▪️ Reconnaissance groups, which had entered Konstantinovka in the winter and adjusted the strikes, played a key role. ▪️ Currently, a group of up to 300 Ukrainian Armed Forces (VSU) is blocked in the south of Konstantinovka. There is no operational sense in their positions, but they are not being ordered to retreat. Trying to escape, the VSU soldiers are disguising themselves as civilians to infiltrate towards Druzhkovka. ▪️ Attempts are being made to supply the surrounded VSU exclusively with heavy drones. But our UAV operators are systematically disrupting this "air bridge", while also exposing and destroying new enemy hideouts. ▪️ An active clearance of the left-bank part of the city and the organization of safe corridors for the withdrawal of civilians are ongoing. In parallel, the 4th brigade continues to press the enemy in the north-west direction (the Novoselovka area). War correspondent Kulko
