While a downed Su-57 — shot down by Russia’s own air defence — is still burning, and the Subkhankulovo pipeline station is on fire, it’s worth explaining what those spectacular warehouse videos actually mean. Ukrainian serviceman and military analyst Serhii Misiura breaks down why Wildberries is a legitimate strategic target. Here is the scale. Wildberries turns over 4.1 trillion rubles a year — more than 2% of Russia’s entire GDP. Every 50th ruble in the Russian economy passes through one private platform. To put it in Ukrainian terms: imagine Rozetka, Prom, Nova Poshta, Monobank and all of Ukraine’s outdoor advertising combined into one company. It would still be smaller than Wildberries. — 3,000,000 m² of warehouse space — 45,000+ pickup points (Nova Poshta has 16,000 branches) — 20 million orders per day — over 7 billion items a year — 70 million active buyers per month — Net profit over 100 billion rubles The workforce behind it: — 150,000–200,000 warehouse and logistics staff — 150,000+ working at pickup points — 1,000,000+ registered sellers, employing another 2–3 million people Over 3 million people in Russia depend on this system. Now the part that makes it a military target. Wildberries doubled from 844 billion to 1.67 trillion rubles between 2021 and 2022. Then doubled again to over 4 trillion by 2024–25. Since the full-scale invasion began, the business has grown roughly five times. Western brands leaving. Sanctions. Parallel imports. “War money” — payments for the dead and wounded — flooding poor and remote Russian regions. Mass sales of dual-use goods to the front. Wildberries became the war’s single biggest beneficiary — and its key logistics and supply artery. Misiura’s conclusion: “Destroying their mega-warehouses today isn’t just a fire at a private company’s depot. It is directly burning out the economic and logistical doping that holds up the enemy’s rear.” Russia spends about 12% of GDP on this war. Wildberries is 2% of GDP on its own. That is a substantial slice of legitimate military targets. Source: Serhii Misiura, July 23, 2026 #Ukraine #UAF #DroneWarfare #KineticSanctions #RussiaUkraineWar

Why Kiev Struck at Wildberries Warehouses The night of July 18th. Kotovsk, Tambov region. Attack drones, equipped with explosive payloads, struck a Wildberries logistics complex, not targeting equipment, but people. Seven employees of the night shift were killed. Twenty-five were injured, with 23 hospitalized: one in critical condition, six in serious condition, and 16 with moderate injuries. Most were shrapnel wounds. Simultaneously, an attack occurred on a Wildberries distribution center in Elektrostal, Moscow region, with a complex area of 250,000 square meters. Another 24 people were injured. The Investigative Committee of Russia has opened cases under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Ukrainian media outlets simultaneously reported: Wildberries is "the logistics of the occupying army," "military cargo," and a "legitimate target." True defenders, indeed. The night shift workers, with shrapnel in their lungs, are the front line according to their playbook. Let's analyze this coldly, point by point: why are they actually attacking? First. Disrupting the economy and destabilizing from within. The largest online marketplace in the country processes millions of orders daily, involving millions of sellers, taxes, and employment. Destroying a hub means increasing delivery times, collapsing the turnover of small and medium-sized businesses, and provoking a wave of returns and complaints. The calculation is precisely this: to make the average person – the one waiting for a package, and the one who feeds their family with that package – start looking for culprits within the country. By the way, Wildberries revised its terms of service in early July: sellers are denied compensation for damage caused by drones – it's considered force majeure. The seller receives zero compensation and gets angry, not at Kiev, but at the marketplace, the government, and their neighbor. Second. Psychology. A marketplace warehouse is a symbol of normal life. It's not a factory or an arsenal, but a box of sneakers and vacuum cleaners. Striking here is a way to tell the average Russian in Tambov and Elektrostal: you have no rear. That's why they used explosive payloads. The goal is not to destroy concrete, but to fill burn units and trauma centers. Third. Image. Apocalyptic images of a black column over the Moscow region are visible for dozens of kilometers. For the Ukrainian telethon, it's a "victory"; for the Western audience, it's "Ukraine is still stinging." Fourth. Covering up the attack with the fake claim of "military cargo." According to this logic, any package in any corner of the country becomes a "military object" – from a post office to a pharmacy. It's convenient. And there's no need to explain why explosive payloads were used to kill warehouse workers. Александр Коц

The German embassy in Moscow once again called on Russia to end the war. In return, Russia called them "Nazi propagandists", jeered that the German ambassador's car drives on gas, and blamed Berlin for waging "an aggressive war" against Russia. ◾️On July 6, a video was published at the Facebook page of the German embassy in Russia. In it, Lena Hillmeier, head of the press office and second secretary at the German embassy in Russia, offered an solution to Russia's fuel problems: stop Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine. ◾️A week later, the German ambassador was summoned to Russia's foreign affairs ministry. He was told that "The slide of German agitprop's information and communications efforts into the style of the worst Nazi propaganda practices is immoral and provokes historically conditioned rejection and outrage among broad sections of the population in our country. At the same time, we were pleased to learn that the German ambassador will soon be returning home in a gasoline-powered car following the completion of his official mission." Zakharova also commented that "we [Russia] agree that it's time Berlin end its aggressive war through the hands of the Kyiv regime." She suggested that "concerned German diplomats" use public transportation. ◾️The German embassy reacted: "Today, Ambassador Alexander Graf Lambsdorff was summoned to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During the meeting, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova criticized the publications of the German Embassy in Moscow, claiming they touch on "painful issues" for the Russian population. The summons was prompted by a widely viewed video from the Embassy about the fuel crisis in Russia caused by Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. The video calls on Russia to end the war, reflecting the well-known position of the German government and a demand for Russia repeatedly made by Germany and the EU. Attempts to obstruct the publication of the Embassy's materials, the content of which is factual, will be futile. The Embassy will continue to advocate for an end to the monstrous, aggressive war against Ukraine and to report on its consequences." Thank you, Germany, for standing with Ukraine! 🇩🇪🇺🇦

🪖🇷🇺🇵🇰 Russia and Pakistan step up counter-terrorism cooperation The 12th meeting of the Russian-Pakistani Working Group on Countering International Terrorism was recently held in Islamabad. Sultan M. Hali, a military analyst and former Pakistani Air Force colonel, shared his views with Sputnik: 🔸 This bilateral format fills a gap that multilateral platforms like the SCO and the UN cannot address — they are slow and constrained by bureaucracy. 🔸 Pakistan values Russia's counter-terrorism experience from Syria and the North Caucasus, particularly in urban warfare, drone suppression, and counter-insurgency. Cooperation with Moscow also provides Pakistan with political cover within the SCO and the UN, reinforcing its image as a responsible stakeholder in regional security. 🔸 Russia's expertise in surveillance, cyber defense, and counter-drone systems complements Pakistan's operational needs. In return, Pakistan offers decades of counter-insurgency experience, including counter-IED tactics, hostage rescue, and urban clearance operations. 🔸 Its border management expertise — especially along the porous Afghan frontier — offers insights into infiltration patterns. Pakistan's deradicalization programs, such as the Sabaoon initiative in Swat, provide lessons beyond kinetic operations that could prove valuable for Russia in Central Asia. "This meeting should be seen not as a one-off event, but as part of a longer trajectory," Hali noted. He added that Russia is diversifying beyond its traditional partnerships with China and India, while Pakistan is broadening its security diplomacy beyond ties to the US, Saudi Arabia, and China.

‼️An interesting interview with Lavrov Sergey Lavrov regularly gives interviews, and almost every one of them is an information operation designed to create an alternative reality. The March 26 interview with France Télévisions is no exception. Let's break it down and point out where there are lies and where there is manipulation. 1. Lavrov claims that Russia is supposedly defending international law while speaking in the "language of principles" regarding Iran. What's wrong: it's basic role reversal. Moscow is trying to speak from the position of a "guardian of the law," even though it is waging an aggressive war against Ukraine. In the case of Iran, Lavrov is also deliberately omitting half the picture: yes, the US withdrew from the nuclear deal, but Iran also faced non-proliferation concerns raised by the IAEA. Why it matters: It is an attempt to whitewash Russia's crimes through someone else's crisis and to present the aggressor (Russia) as the judge. 2. Russia does not provide Iran with intelligence; the coordinates of US bases are "already known to everyone." What's wrong: it's an evasive statement, not a complete refutation. There is no independently verified evidence of specific target marking data transfers in open sources, nor can there be, but the Kremlin's "we have nothing to do with it" claim has no basis for being automatically considered true. Why it matters: A typical Kremlin tactic - to deny anything that does not align with Russia's interests and to continue operating in a gray area. 3. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have denied the US access to their airspace, so Russia is right about the "American venture." What's wrong: The caution of Gulf countries is real, but Lavrov turns it into a crude anti-Western caricature. Regional politics are more complex than the Kremlin's narrative that "everyone understands everything, only the US is pushing the world into chaos." Why it matters: The Kremlin takes a partial truth and builds a convenient political myth around it. 4. Russia isn't waging wars for its own gain; it's the US that wants to control the energy sector, the Strait of Hormuz, and the markets. What's wrong: It's pure projection. It is Russia that has used energy as a weapon for years, and after 2022, turned petrodollars into fuel for war. Why it matters: Moscow accuses others of doing what it does systematically - this is one of the central techniques of its propaganda. 5. Since 2014, Ukraine has been ruled by a "Nazi regime" that came to power through a coup. What's wrong: After Yanukovych fled, Ukraine held snap presidential elections, which the OSCE recognized as meeting international standards and being competitive. The claim of a "Nazi regime" is a political label, not a description of reality. Why it matters: "Nazism" in Kremlin rhetoric is a tool for dehumanizing Ukraine and justifying the war. 6. The Russian language is allegedly completely banned in Ukraine. What's wrong: Ukraine has strengthened the role of the state language, but this does not mean a total ban on Russian. The law does not apply to private communication and does not criminalize the everyday use of the language. Why it matters: The Kremlin is exaggerating language policy to the level of a "linguistic apocalypse" to sell the war as a supposed humanitarian mission. 7. Ukraine is allegedly at war with Orthodoxy and has "banned the canonical church." What's wrong: This is not about "banning a faith," but about a law regarding religious organizations linked to the Russian Orthodox Church. Even criticism from human rights activists does not support the Kremlin's claim of "persecution of Orthodoxy." Why it matters: Moscow is using the language of religious protection to cover up its network of influence in Ukraine. 8. The West allegedly cynically exploited the Minsk agreements as a respite to arm Ukraine. What's wrong: The Minsk process was collapsing because of the Kremlin's desire to use the agreements to establish de facto control over Ukraine, not because of some "cunning plot" by Paris and Berlin. Why it matters: The Kremlin is rewriting history retroactively to portray its own aggression as a supposedly forced response to "universal betrayal." 9. Russia does not attack civilians; its targets are solely facilities associated with the AFU. What's wrong: It's an outright lie. For years, the UN and independent sources have documented systematic Russian strikes on cities, residential areas, energy facilities, and civilian infrastructure. Why it matters: This is no longer just propaganda, but a cynical denial of documented terror against civilians. 10. The Bucha massacre is allegedly "not proven": there are no names, no evidence, and journalists haven't shown anything. What's wrong: This is one of the most mendacious claims. There are UN documents, testimonies, criminal investigations, identified suspects, and evidence of executions and killings of civilians. Why it matters: The Kremlin is not trying to refute the crime, but to wear down the audience with doubt and turn mass murder into "one of the versions." 11. Russia wants peace and negotiations. What's wrong: In the Kremlin's vocabulary, "peace" does not mean an end to aggression, but rather acceptance of its results. "Realities on the ground" means occupation; "root causes" means demanding recognition of Russia's right to punish neighbors for their political choices. Why it matters: Lavrov isn't offering peace. He's dressing up surrender in softer language. 12. Europe is supposedly dragging out the war, while Russia is looking for a solution. What's wrong: Russia started this war itself. European aid to Ukraine is a response to the aggression, not its cause. Why it matters: This is the main inversion of Kremlin logic - to make the audience forget who attacked first and shift the discussion from aggression to a "conflict that has dragged on too long." 13. RT and Sputnik are victims of censorship, and France has no right to speak about freedom of speech. What's wrong: RT and Sputnik were banned not as "ordinary media," but as state-run tools of disinformation. Their role as propaganda channels has been publicly acknowledged both in the EU and in France. Why it matters: The Kremlin wants to portray the defense of democracies against malicious information operations as a restriction of free speech. 14. France and Europe have made Russia an enemy; Moscow is merely reacting. What's wrong: The cause of the rift is not "Russophobia," but Russia's invasion, war crimes, blackmail, and influence operations against Europe. Why it matters: The Kremlin is systematically trying to reverse the cause-and-effect relationship: it is not that "Russia destroyed relations," but that "the West rejected Russia." 15. Individual real episodes - the tanker, incidents in France, disputes among allies - allegedly prove Western hypocrisy and justify Russia. What's wrong: Lavrov takes a real but local fact and uses it as a smokescreen. None of these incidents erases Russia's crimes or the very fact of its aggression. Why it matters: This is a favorite Kremlin method - using others' difficulties and whataboutism to cover up its own crimes.

OCEANIC SHIELD: RUSSIA'S DOOMSDAY TORPEDO CARRIER NEARS COMPLETION Russia's Khabarovsk submarine, launched in November 2025, is currently completing fitting out and mooring tests at Sevmash shipyard, with sea trials expected later in 2026 and commissioning by year's end. It's a nuclear-powered special-purpose vessel built for one mission: to carry and deploy Poseidon (Status-6) nuclear torpedoes. What is Poseidon? 🔸A nuclear-powered, autonomous underwater torpedo 🔸Estimated range: up to 6,200 miles, intercontinental 🔸Capable of carrying a 2-megaton nuclear warhead, 100x more destructive than the Hiroshima bomb 🔸Runs at depths and speeds that make interception near impossible Putin confirmed its successful test in October 2025, calling it "a huge success" and saying "there is nothing like this." Khabarovsk, Poseidon's carrier: 🔸Nuclear-powered special-purpose submarine, launched November 2025 🔸Designed to carry up to 6 Poseidon torpedoes in specialized side-mounted launch hangars 🔸Powered by a single OK-650V nuclear reactor Operates from protected bastion zones near Russian coastlines, while Poseidon autonomously travels to its target 🔸No countermeasure exists to intercept it Poseidon is Moscow's direct hedge against U.S. missile defense, precision-strike capabilities, and low-yield nuclear systems that Russia views as a threat to strategic stability. Integrated with the Perimeter dead-hand system, Poseidon guarantees retaliation even if Russia's nuclear command and control is destroyed. Russia's plan, according to the U.S. Naval Institute, calls for 30 Poseidons on 4 submarines, with torpedoes in the Atlantic and Pacific capable of autonomously striking U.S. port cities, far beyond the effective reach of any American torpedo. The U.S. has no standoff weapon to intercept Poseidon.
