😌 Rise and shine! Wildberries warehouses have been hit. Here's what happened near St. Petersburg On the morning of July 24, drones targeted St. Petersburg and the surrounding Leningrad region. At least two Wildberries logistics hubs — in Shushary and Novosaratovka (Utkina Zavod) — were struck. Fires broke out at both sites, employees were evacuated, and Wildberries officially confirmed that operations at both facilities have been suspended. Preliminary reports also indicate that an Ozon warehouse in the Utkina Zavod industrial zone is on fire. St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov said the drones struck civilian infrastructure along Moskovskoye Highway. Leningrad Region Governor Alexander Drozdenko confirmed the strike on the Wildberries warehouse in Novosaratovka, where three people were injured. A warehouse complex belonging to the Severnaya poultry farm in Sinyavino was also hit, causing one of the storage buildings to partially collapse. No injuries were reported there. The attack also disrupted air traffic: around 50 flights were delayed at Pulkovo Airport, while another 15 flights were diverted to alternate airports.

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.

War always comes back to those who started it. For the fourth time this week, Ukraine has carried out large-scale strikes on Wildberries marketplace warehouses, as these facilities are actively involved in supplying the Russian army with sanctioned components. The attacks are inflicting colossal damage on the Russian economy and shattering the illusion of security within the country. In just one week, coordinated drone attacks destroyed or damaged about 10% of the company's total logistics capacity. Fires engulfed massive hubs in the Moscow region (Elektrostal, Koledino), the Leningrad region (Novosaratovka), St. Petersburg, as well as in Tver, Krasnodar, Stavropol, and Russian-occupied Simferopol. 🔹 These logistics centers were used to supply sanctioned electronics, navigation equipment, and chips needed for the production of Russian missiles and drones. 🔹 Hubs for supplies from volunteers: Through Wildberries and Ozon, the Russian military, 'Z-volunteers,' and private military companies made bulk purchases of frontline equipment - armor vests, radios, thermal imagers, drones, and tactical medical supplies. Destroying these warehouses burns these supplies before they can be sent to the frontline. This is a severe blow to Russia's economy: ◾️ Supply chain collapse: Marketplaces control up to 80% of the online retail market in Russia. The destruction of warehouses is paralyzing domestic commerce, creating shortages of everyday goods. ◾️ Billions in business losses: The value of goods destroyed in the first warehouses to burn down was estimated at more than $1 billion. Russian small and mid-sized businesses are suffering catastrophic losses, as Wildberries changed its terms of service in advance, absolving itself of liability for compensation for drone strikes. This is the disruption of Russians' comfort zone: ◾️ Psychological effect: The presence of war is being brought from the border regions directly into the heart of Russia, depriving Russians of their familiar comfort. This shatters the "illusion of peaceful life" and compels them to reflect on the situation and call for an end to the war. ◾️ Infrastructure vulnerability: Complexes covering vast areas (up to 250,000 m²) are physically impossible to defend with air defense systems, especially after the Russian military redeployed its SAM systems to protect oil refineries. This is a just retribution: ◾️ Throughout the war, the Russian army has been systematically destroying Ukrainian civilian sorting terminals and warehouses (including facilities belonging to Nova Post, ATB supermarket chain, and Rozetka). Ukraine has responded in kind, but is targeting only those civilian logistics hubs that directly supply the Russian war machine.

$‼️‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine has just brought the war directly to the Kremlin’s doorstep, launching a massive, coordinated dawn assault that has left Moscow's critical economic and logistics infrastructure engulfed in flames. A swarm of Ukrainian long-range drones completely bypassed Russia’s air defenses to systematically dismantle vital supply lines and strategic hubs across the Moscow region. In Koledino, a catastrophic fire has crippled the massive logistics complex of Wildberries, Russia’s largest e-commerce giant and a primary economic engine. Simultaneously, precision strikes turned a critical oil depot in Podolsk into a fireball, while massive blazes tore through the "Yuzhnye Vrata" logistics park in Domodedovo and the "Grivno" industrial park in Motovilovo. Desperate Russian electronic warfare units scrambled to deflect the incoming drones, only to recklessly redirect them into their own high-rise residential buildings, causing widespread chaos. This operation is a masterclass in modern asymmetric warfare, proving that no depth of Russian territory is safe from Ukrainian reach. By paralyzing Moscow’s largest logistical and industrial arteries on the same morning, Ukraine is not just disrupting supply chains—it is suffocating the domestic economy that sustains Putin’s war machine. As Russia’s internal stability fractures under the weight of these devastating strikes, the message to the Kremlin is undeniable: the cost of aggression has officially come home to roost.

We have launched a nationwide campaign (Chhatron Ki Goonj) on the crisis in India's education system. As part of this campaign, Leader of Opposition Shri Rahul Gandhi ji has already interacted with students in Kota and will soon address students in Patna and Prayagraj, culminating in a major rally in Delhi in mid-July. Shri Rahul Gandhi is not just raising the issues surrounding NEET and CBSE examinations, he is raising the fundamental issue of education in India and the urgent need for greater public investment in the sector. Today, families across the country are spending more on coaching centres than the Central Government spends on education. This reflects a fundamental mismatch in our education system, where coaching centres have become indispensable for success. We must build an education system that is fair, accessible, and capable of nurturing the aspirations of every young Indian. 👉Why are coaching centres so popular in this country? 👉Why is medical education so expensive in this country? 👉Why is everything getting privatized? Those are the questions that he raised in Kota, and I think those are the questions that we have to raise in Parliament and outside. : Congress General Secretary (Communications) Shri Jairam Ramesh

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

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

This stock has more than doubled in four months. One of my speakers called it live at our March summit, back when the rest of Wall Street was sprinting for the exits. The company had just told the SEC it couldn't file its annual report on time. The headlines screamed accounting trouble, the crowd hit sell on reflex, and the stock got cut down to roughly half the multiple of its peers. Van Drunkenmiller looked at the same company and saw the OPPOSITE of a problem... The stock was Astrana Health (ASTH), and it was trading around $24. His thesis was almost insultingly simple: Astrana coordinates care for seniors and the chronically ill, which happens to be the one group in America that grows larger and sicker every single year. Revenue was already ripping 56% higher, and the only thing actually broken was a piece of paperwork. The market was pricing a delayed filing as if the entire business had collapsed. The filing got resolved, the accounting cloud lifted, and the May numbers landed exactly as he called them, with revenue up 56% and adjusted EBITDA up 82%. The same analysts who had frozen suddenly raced to raise their targets, and Barclays upgraded it with a $50 target. Astrana closed at $49.81 on July 1. The opportunity was sitting in plain sight, wearing a problem as a costume, priced for fear instead of fundamentals. Van is coming back to do it again. On July 22, he joins me and 14 elite investors for our Best Stock Ideas Online Summit. Each will bring the single highest-conviction idea, all for $99, with replays within 24 hours. The last one handed you a stock that doubled, and so much more. You cannot afford to miss this one. Grab your ticket today:

The almighty yard is no longer in control. That’s the worm way of thinking—“acts of revenge.” The Freedom-Loving Ukrainian Bird works differently: surgically, against what they hold sacred. This morning’s spanking in the courtyards of the Leningrad region once again shatters the myth of “the yard that taught Vova to strike first.” You know it by now, bunker bastard: this is not revenge for the missile strikes that hit residential neighbourhoods in Kyiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kherson and other Ukrainian cities over the past 48 hours. You’ll keep paying for those with thousands of occupiers’ bodies—day after day, exactly as the Bird has decided. Meanwhile, in the swamps and in our Crimea, a methodical, mathematically calculated operation with no expiration date is underway under the motto: “The yard is no longer in control.” Until “Moscow will fall.” A global mission. A pragmatic one. As one of the Birds from the 1st USF Operations Center, Mr. Warrior, likes to say: “Step by step.” So, gentlemen, let’s get back to work. 🔥 On July 4, 2026, the Saint Petersburg Oil Terminal was successfully struck by the 1st USF Operations Center, SOF, SSU, HUR, and other components of the Ukrainian Defence Forces. 🌶️ And yes—today the USF Birds switched off the 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25th electrical substations in Crimea in just the first three days of July. The greening operation is nowhere near finished. Eyes and Sting—the worms’ worst nightmare. MAGYAR 🇺🇦 04.07.26

🚨 Deafening Islamic Silence as Texas Grieves 🚨 As Christian Children Die in Floods, Radical Texas Imam Yasir Qadhi is busy promoting NYC’s Islamic Takeover... At least 82 Texans are dead, including 27 Christian children from Camp Mystic. Still, ten young Christian girls and their camp counselor are missing after catastrophic flash floods tore through the state. Entire communities are underwater. Families are shattered. Lives destroyed. While Christian, Jewish, and Hindu leaders across the world have offered prayers and condolences… Guess who’s been dead silent? 👉 Yasir Qadhi — Texas’s radical imam, chief ideologue behind the Sharia-supremacist EPIC City project. 👉 No posts could be found. Not one word. Not on his YouTube, his mosque’s website, or his social media. 👉 I could not find a single prayer for the dead. No concern. Not even a fake “thoughts and prayers” tweet for the missing Christian children in his own state. Instead? He used this moment to praise Zohran Mamdani, the Islamic Socialist mayoral candidate in NYC, and promote Mamdani’s father, author of a book glorifying “Islamophobia” as a Western disease. He even bragged about his most popular course, which he taught in Tennessee, called “Jihad and Fundamentalism.” In his own words, he chuckled: “I used to tell people - I taught Jihad in Tennessee.” While Texas grieves, Qadhi is campaigning for Islamic supremacists and elevating their radical families. 📅 Not a word on July 4. 📅 Not a word on July 5. 📅 Not a word on July 6 📅 Not a word on July 7 During the last few days these videos were also promoted on his channel: 1. “The REALITY of Muslims in America in 2025” 2. “How it ALL Leads to Islam…” 3. “Is July 4th Allowed? The Islamic Perspective of Celebrating Non-Religious Holidays” But don’t be surprised if his team scrambles today, to slap together a PR-polished sympathy post now that this is going public. We’ve seen this game before. ➡️ Texans drown? Silence. ➡️ A Hamas jihadi stubs his toe in Gaza? Wall-to-wall outrage. Let’s be honest: If this tragedy had happened to a Muslim community in Texas, every non-Islamic faith leader and average citizen would’ve rushed to help. But check the mosques' websites. Their social media pages. I've scoured dozens, not a single mention of this tragedy. Not one, accept another well known Jihadi who used the opportunity to talk more about Gaza. So go ahead, Qadhi. Cry more about “Islamophobia” (no one is falling for this) But Americans are done pretending not to notice when Islamic leaders go silent as Christians die and Americans suffer. And frankly, no one’s surprised. This is the same man who rages against America, advocates for terrorists, and vilifies non-Muslims every chance he gets.

let’s start where this actually lives, not where you want it to live. with the math. the last three weeks of dynamite: 👉 765k 👉 730k 👉 654k that is not a ramp. that is not momentum. that is not “heating up” into a conversion window. that is a decline into it. you are looking at a -111k drop in two weeks, roughly 14–15% contraction from the high to the low, at the exact point where a traditional ppv cycle should be stabilizing or expanding. instead, you have compression. average those three weeks and you land at roughly ~716k linear viewers. that is your real, observable, measurable audience. not hypothetical reach not cumulative impressions not social engagement proxies actual people sitting down and watching the show in the time slot that matters for conversion. i’ve already laid out in detail what the max numbers actually represent and how simulcast behavior works, so i’m not going to re-litigate all of that here. but it matters enough to say again clearly: max is not a second audience at scale. it is a distribution extension that splits the same audience. it does not double your reach. it does not materially expand your funnel. it shifts a portion of existing behavior from one pipe to another. the short version is already established: 👉 max is not additive at scale 👉 max is a split of the same audience 👉 max realistically contributes ~50k–150k, ~75k center so your total reachable audience on a good night is: 👉 ~790k–800k all-in that’s the funnel. that’s the ceiling. that’s the number you are working from. that’s the universe that can possibly convert into a paid transaction. not hypothetical not inflated not “what if” that is the real audience number. now take the number dave is floating: 👉 ~143k ppv buys run the only equation that matters: 👉 143k ÷ 800k = ~17.9% conversion stop there for a second Dave Meltzer is unironically asserting that nearly 1 out of every 5 viewers is converting into a $40–$50 transaction in 2026 in a market with: – no centralized ppv infrastructure – subscription-first behavior – widespread piracy – fragmented pricing (domestic, max discount, vpn international) – a declining weekly audience trend that is the claim. not “strong performance.” not “better than expected.” not “up year over year.” the claim is nearly 1 in 5 viewers converting into a $40–$50 transaction in 2026. this is where the conversation should end, because that number does not exist anywhere in modern media behavior. it doesn’t exist in boxing. it doesn’t exist in ufc. it doesn’t exist in any scaled transactional model operating in the current environment. and more importantly, it didn’t exist consistently even when the infrastructure supporting it was intact. again, this is the part people either don’t understand or choose to ignore: ppv is not just a pricing model. it is an infrastructure model. and that infrastructure is gone. for decades, the backbone of ppv was inDemand. that system wasn’t just pushing content out to cable homes. it was aggregating buys, standardizing reporting, and creating a reconciliation layer that allowed promoters, distributors, and networks to operate off the same dataset. if you were serious about this business, you could triangulate numbers. you could get within a narrow band of reality because the pipes were real and the accounting was shared. that system shut down in 2025. 👉 143k ppv buys is not an aggressive take 👉 it is not an optimistic take 👉 it is a structurally impossible take because we know what real conversion looks like. we do not need to guess. it has been modeled across combat sports, boxing, ufc, and multiple transactional platforms. the ranges are stable: 👉 1–3% → normal 👉 3–5% → strong 👉 5%+ → elite and rare, reserved for events with massive cultural heat and crossover appeal those ranges were established when the infrastructure was intact, pricing was more controlled, piracy was less frictionless, and distribution was more centralized. today, every one of those conditions is worse. pricing is fragmented. you have $49.99 standard, $39.99 through max, international pricing accessible through vpn, and a piracy environment where high-quality streams are available instantly. that is a high-friction, high-leakage system. so conversion should compress, not expand. now apply real-world conversion to your real audience: 👉 800k × 2% = 16k buys 👉 800k × 3% = 24k buys 👉 800k × 5% = 40k buys that’s your range. 👉 ~15k–35k realistic 👉 ~20k–30k as the most defensible center 👉 ~40k reasonable given the strength of the headliners now invert the math, because this is where the claim completely collapses. if you want to justify 143k buys at even a healthy 3% conversion rate, you need roughly 4.7 million engaged viewers. so the question becomes extremely simple: where are the other four million people? 👉they are not on linear television. 👉they are not on max. 👉they are not showing up in any digital engagement metrics that correlate with that level of demand. 👉they are not visible anywhere in the ecosystem that would need to exist to support that level of conversion. 👉👉👉👉👉 they do not exist. and this is before you even account for the trend line moving the wrong way. you are not converting off a growing base. you are converting off a shrinking one. you are not building urgency. you are losing reach. that matters, because conversion does not happen in a vacuum. it happens on top of momentum, visibility, and audience expansion. when those inputs are declining, conversion does not spike to historic highs. it compresses further. the biggest fights in the world are no longer relying on ppv as their primary distribution model. they are moving to platforms that guarantee reach and revenue up front. the most recent example should end this conversation for anyone actually paying attention: netflix just locked tyson fury vs anthony joshua for a major global fight this august. that is one of the biggest possible matchups in boxing. in any previous era, that is a premium ppv event with massive buy expectations, heavy marketing, and a full transactional rollout. instead, it is going to a subscription platform. why? because the economics are better. the reach is global. the friction is lower. the platform values engagement at scale over one-off purchases. that is where the industry is. so when you are being asked to believe that a weekly wrestling property with a ~700k linear audience, declining into its ppv window, is somehow generating six-figure transactional buys inside a subscription platform in 2026, you are not just being asked to accept a number. dave is asking you to ignore the direction of the entire market. and that’s before you even bring in platform behavior. max is not a live sports-first platform. it does not behave like one. when max has something it cares about, it promotes it aggressively. homepage rails. push notifications. press releases. talent integration. cross-platform amplification. you do not see that here. and that absence is not accidental. platforms surface what they want you to see. they amplify what drives engagement and revenue. if ppv at scale were happening inside that ecosystem, it would be visible. it would be part of the narrative. it would be monetized loudly. it isn’t. and that’s before you even factor in the other variables i’ve broken down in detail before: 👉 i’ve already debunked why the max numbers people are throwing around don’t make sense 👉 i’ve already explained what the linear number actually represents and what it doesn’t 👉 i’ve already mapped the media rights landscape in 2026, including how these properties are being evaluated ahead of the paramount–wbd merger the wsj reports could close as early as july so when you’re being told by dave that a property with a ~700k weekly audience trending downward into a ppv window is generating six-figure transactional buys at premium pricing inside a subscription platform in 2026, you’re not being given data. you’re being given a number that does not reconcile with anything else in the system. that’s math. stop it - 45

🚨 Russia is being hit — and Russians seem delighted. There is no other way to explain it Russia’s state-run pollster VTsIOM has recorded the highest happiness index in recent months. It rose to 59 points. An interesting picture emerges. In the first two weeks of July alone, Russians withdrew 513 billion rubles in cash — five times more than during the same period last year. But they are not taking out their savings to spend them. They are hiding the money in home safes and stuffing it into cupboards, apparently hoping the state will not accidentally destroy what is left of their wealth. Another source of this newfound happiness is Wildberries. Ukraine has begun a campaign of strikes on logistics hubs, and the consequences could be far more serious than the loss of goods worth a billion dollars. One of Russia’s largest pro-war Telegram channels, Two Majors, has even urged Russians to protect their businesses from drone attacks themselves and prepare for conditions similar to those now seen in occupied Crimea. The channel also blamed refinery owners for the attacks, claiming they had failed to protect their property “despite the gift from lawmakers in the form of permission to operate private air defenses.” But the happiness index keeps rising. So everything must be fine.

The video shows Russian propagandists outlining Russia’s plans to destroy Ukraine’s maritime infrastructure and "cut the country off from the sea." In November 2025, the number of Russian air attacks on Ukraine’s Black Sea ports nearly doubled compared to October. According to the Monitoring Group of the Black Sea Institute of Strategic Studies: Based on monitoring conducted from January to November 2025, the Russian armed forces carried out at least 152 missile and drone attacks of various types on the ports of Velyka Odesa, ports in southern Odesa region, and the region’s energy and industrial infrastructure. These included: 29 attacks in November, 16 in October, and 11 in September. Recorded among them: • At least 38 missile attacks of various types (November - 3; October - 2; September - 3); • At least 114 attacks using drones and decoy drones such as Shahed-136/131, Geran/Gerbera, etc. (November - 27; October - 13; September - 8); • At least 46 Iskander ballistic and cruise missiles were used (November - 3; October - 3; September - 6). November saw a sharp increase not only in the number of drone attacks, but also in the number of drones deployed in each strike. The number of attacks in November doubled compared to October (from 13 to 27). Double strikes within a single day (night-day, morning-evening, etc.) became systematic: nine days recorded two attacks in 24 hours, and one day recorded three. There were individual attacks involving more than 30, and in some cases over 40 drones. Thus, it can be estimated that in November alone, Russian forces used at least 300 drones in attacks on Odesa region. In total, no fewer than 1,200 drones of various types were used against the region from January to November 2025. From January to November 2025, 15 attacks on vessels in Odesa-region ports were recorded, damaging 28 vessels (27 civilian, 1 naval). Civilian fatalities were reported, and port infrastructure was damaged. Vessels damaged: • November - 11 (6 ships, 3 barges, 2 pontoons); • October - 3; • September - 0; • August - 5 (including 1 naval vessel); • July - 5; • June - 0. Russia dreams of "cutting Ukraine off from the sea." But they will not succeed.

The video shows Russian propagandists outlining Russia’s plans to destroy Ukraine’s maritime infrastructure and "cut the country off from the sea." In November 2025, the number of Russian air attacks on Ukraine’s Black Sea ports nearly doubled compared to October. According to the Monitoring Group of the Black Sea Institute of Strategic Studies: Based on monitoring conducted from January to November 2025, the Russian armed forces carried out at least 152 missile and drone attacks of various types on the ports of Velyka Odesa, ports in southern Odesa region, and the region’s energy and industrial infrastructure. These included: 29 attacks in November, 16 in October, and 11 in September. Recorded among them: • At least 38 missile attacks of various types (November - 3; October - 2; September - 3); • At least 114 attacks using drones and decoy drones such as Shahed-136/131, Geran/Gerbera, etc. (November - 27; October - 13; September - 8); • At least 46 Iskander ballistic and cruise missiles were used (November - 3; October - 3; September - 6). November saw a sharp increase not only in the number of drone attacks, but also in the number of drones deployed in each strike. The number of attacks in November doubled compared to October (from 13 to 27). Double strikes within a single day (night-day, morning-evening, etc.) became systematic: nine days recorded two attacks in 24 hours, and one day recorded three. There were individual attacks involving more than 30, and in some cases over 40 drones. Thus, it can be estimated that in November alone, Russian forces used at least 300 drones in attacks on Odesa region. In total, no fewer than 1,200 drones of various types were used against the region from January to November 2025. From January to November 2025, 15 attacks on vessels in Odesa-region ports were recorded, damaging 28 vessels (27 civilian, 1 naval).

BREAKING NEWS - An Iranian missile wounded at least 15 U.S. troops, five seriously, in Saudi Arabia, it was confirmed today. An E-3 Sentry, which is an American flying attack command center, was also hit, the Wall St Journal reported this morning. The US had been using it to control multiple missiles and drones over Iran. At least one more refueling aircraft was also hit at the same location – adding to the five which were damaged or destroyed in an earlier successful missile strike. Under UN rules, the Iranian strike is legal, as the Prince Sultan Airbase near Riyadh was used to launch the US-Israel unprovoked attack on their country. The US can only claim to have destroyed one third of Iran’s missiles, US intelligence said, contradicting claims by Trump that Iranian defences had been wiped out. This is despite the fact that the US has now made more than 11,000 airstrikes on Iran, according to US Centcom. . ANSAH ALLAH JOINS DEFENCE - Yemen’s Ansah Allah people, known in the west as the Houthi, have joined the defense of Iran. The group in the past few hours made two missile attacks on IDF military facilities. Ansah Allah made headlines in July 2025 ago by using the OTHER Strait in the region, the Red Sea chokepoint, as a bargaining tool to stop rich western countries supplying the IDF attack on Gaza. In that case, as in this case, friendly countries such as China were allowed to pass through the Strait, while ships allied to Israel and the US were prevented from transit. This is Washington’s worst nightmare [see map in video]. Saudi Arabia has been diverting traffic to the Red Sea strait. If that path is blocked too – ouch. . In related news, - Iran has made peace pacts with Thailand and Pakistan, also in the past few hours. They will join the Chinese as countries whose ships will be able to use the Strait of Hormuz with no problems.

My primary broker for trading is Kotak Neo. My secondary broker was Zerodha. But since their brokerage charges are quite high, I landed on IIFL as a secondary broker. IIFL has an excellent pricing model and a RM for all kinds of service requests, which felt like a compelling proposition. But it's barely been 3 months, and I will advise everyone against doing what I did. While Algo trading has worked fine, any kind of discretionary trading has been a horrible experience ! I've faced numerous glitches on both their Web and Mobile platforms, atleast 3-4 times, and there is absolutely zero accountability on resolution and explanation of those glitches. On top of that, their UI is one of the worst amongst all the brokers I've ever worked with. On 7 July Nifty weekly expiry day, I wasn't able to exit my positions for a few minutes after 3pm (refer video). Thankfully, they were OTM strikes and I was able to exit using the mobile platform. On sharing the issue with the RM, he just responded he's escalated the issue to the technical team and they will resolve/contact me. Almost 3 weeks later, nobody has contacted me even once or shared any root cause analysis of the issue with me. Then 23-24 July, the platform had a different type of glitch where the UI response was pathetically slow. If you clicked on Add/Exit (Buy/Sell) the order window took an insane 5-10 seconds just to open. On top of that, clicking on a specific strike was opening up the order window of a different strike. So I thought to try the mobile app, and that wasn't working either. Though the platform started working again after sometime, the issue was persisting intermittently throughout the 2 days. On contacting the RM, he again gave the usual response of escalating to technical team. The whole day passed, no acknowledgment of the issue, no resolution, no accountability. On a side note, I was able to recover any losses by close. I also asked my RM, if they'll waive off the brokerage charges of that day, because of the horrendous experience - and he said no can't do that. For 1500-2000, I won't waste my time to complain to SEBI but it should tell you about IIFL's thinking around customer experience. Absolutely pathetic service from a so called "full service broker". Before shifting to IIFL, I had spoken to a couple of people as well specifically to ask about "glitches on their platform" and they all said they've never really experienced it in 7-8 years beyond maybe 1-2 times. It is super hard for me to believe that right now. "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten" IIFL Capital Services Limited

Today is the 11th anniversary of the start of war in the Donbas. It was launched on April 12th 2014 in Sloviansk by a group of around 60 special forces and paramilitary men led by the Russian GRU agent Igor ”Strelkov” Girkin. They crossed the border from Russia on April 11th and took control of the government building in Sloviansk on April 12th. Strelkov had been present in Ukraine from the start of the war, having entered Crimea on February 26th and participated in the armed storming of the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea on February 27th. In March 2014, his unit stormed a photogrammetric center in Simferopol, further consolidating control over strategic locations. Strelkov was instrumental in organizing local pro-Russian militias and coordinating with Russian regular forces, particularly the so-called "little green men" (Russian special forces without insignia). Strelkov was a former officer of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), having served until at least 2012 and was an officer of Russia’s military intelligence (GRU). He was closely linked to Sergey Aksyonov, the Russian-installed prime minister of Crimea, serving as a security aide and advisor. After Crimea, Strelkov moved to eastern Ukraine, leading a group of 52–55 armed militants across the Russian-Ukrainian border on the night of April 11–12, 2014, to seize Sloviansk, a city in Ukraine’s Donetsk region. - On April 12, 2014, his group captured key administrative buildings, including the police station, Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) offices, and city administration, declaring Sloviansk part of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). - Strelkov established himself as the military commander of Sloviansk, organizing defenses, setting up roadblocks, and overseeing operations that included ambushes, kidnappings, and executions. - He admitted to sparking the broader Donbas War, stating, “I’m the one who pulled the trigger of war. If our unit hadn’t crossed the border, everything would have fizzled out.” - His forces engaged Ukrainian troops, killed SBU officers, and took OSCE observers hostage. Strelkov ordered the execution of several individuals, including Ukrainians Yurii Popravko, Yurii Diakovskyi, and Volodymyr Rybak. - By May 2014, he was named “commander-in-chief” and “defense minister” of the DPR, consolidating control over separatist fighters in the region. Facing intense Ukrainian military pressure, Strelkov’s forces retreated from Sloviansk to Donetsk on July 5, 2014, after which his influence waned, and he was dismissed in August 2014. It was also in August that large formations of the Russian regular army invaded the Donbas region from Russia to stop the Ukrainian Army from crushing the pro-Russian separatist forces that had taken control of some cities in the region. Strelkov later fell out with Putin, accusing him of not taking enough of Ukraine and being too weak. Strelkov was sentenced to 4 years in prison last year for ”inciting extremism” Sloviansk is still in Ukrainian hands 11 years after Strelkov’s attack and 3 years after Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Russia is bringing in large numbers of Indian citizens, explaining this by the need to address a labor shortage. According to preliminary information, about 70,000 Indians are expected to arrive in Russia. Given the frequent previous cases of Indian citizens in Russia being deceived into going to war with Ukraine, the question arises: how many of those who come to Russia now will go to die on Ukrainian soil? Let's take a look at what happened earlier: ◾️ Feb-Mar 2024: from "support jobs" to criminal cases of trafficking. On February 23, 2024, the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially acknowledged that some Indian citizens had signed up for "support jobs" with the Russian army and reported that the Indian embassy regularly raised the issue of their early discharge. On the same day, Reuters, citing The Hindu, reported that this concerned about 100 Indians recruited over the previous year on contracts lasting at least a year. On February 29, 2024, the Indian press reported that, according to a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 20 Indians who had left as "support staff/helpers" had appealed to the government. The turning point came on March 8, 2024: Reuters reported that India had uncovered a "major trafficking network" that was deceiving young men into going to Russia with promises of work or education, after which they were forced to take part in the war. The case involved about 35 victims (compared to the previously mentioned ~20), and at least two deaths were reported. ◾️ July 2024: Political escalation of the issue and the first systematic "exits" from the Russian army. The issue of early discharge of Indians who were "misled" by recruiters was raised during Prime Minister Modi's visit to Moscow; public estimates by the Indian side at the time indicated that 30-40 citizens could remain in the Russian forces, and at least four had been killed. On July 9, 2024, Reuters reported that Russia had promised to discharge Indians who had been misled during recruitment; the Indian side said the situation affected an estimated 35-50 Indians, of whom 10 had already been brought home. In the following months, the issue of "discharge" began to take on the characteristics of a controlled track: the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a parliamentary answer (Lok Sabha, February 7, 2025), said that thanks to regular engagement, "most" Indians in the Russian forces had been discharged, while the Russian side announced that it would stop accepting Indians from April 2024. In addition, Reuters reported in September 2024 that about 45 Indians had been discharged from service and that work on other cases was ongoing. ◾️ 2025: scale and details of losses. The most conclusive source is the official answer of the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Rajya Sabha on December 18, 2025: 202 Indian citizens are "believed to have been recruited" into the Russian armed forces; government efforts have resulted in 119 early discharges. 26 Indians lost their lives, seven are reported missing; efforts are ongoing for the early discharge of 50 individuals. Taken together, these data indicate that the risk of recruitment is organized (networks of intermediaries/trafficking) and cumulative in nature, persisting even after political agreements on discharge. Therefore, there is no guarantee that some of the newly arrived Indians in Russia will not be sent as cannon fodder to Russia's war in Ukraine.
