At least 2 dead and 8 injured in Russian attacks on Kyiv – Putin restricts reporting from refineries and energy exports – Russian losses

Russia is struggling to achieve any successes on the battlefield, and recently it is Ukraine that has regained territory. This does not, of course, prevent Russia from continuing to attack Ukrainian civil society, just as they have done throughout the war. In the latest attacks, at least 2 people have been killed and 8 injured. At the same time, buildings have also been damaged and fires have broken out. Russia is a terrorist state and the world should treat them as such.

“In the past week, the Russians fired more than 2,200 attack drones at Ukraine, as well as about 1,650 air-dropped bombs and 38 missiles of various kinds, including a significant number of ballistic missiles,” said President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Kyiv Independent.

Putin is trying to hide how badly things are going for Russia in terms of oil production and energy exports. Yesterday he signed a decree that limits access to data about the country’s oil refineries and energy exports. This is, of course, the result of Ukraine’s attacks on oil refineries but also on ships in the Black Sea. The decree covers information related to Russian energy exports, including refined products, export volumes, pricing, and the supply chain for sellers, buyers, and intermediaries, as well as transport routes, terminals, and storage facilities. Strangely, he does not seem to restrict information related to agriculture. They also have major problems exporting, and many farmers have therefore completely neglected the autumn harvest. Kyiv Independent.

According to Omni, Putin is now said to have ordered that Russia’s army be expanded to 1,550,000 active soldiers and that the entire Russian military should now consist of 2,441,630 personnel. This is an increase of only 15,000 people. I personally suspect that this might be a way to quietly mobilize. They communicate that it is only a small increase, nothing to worry about. Then they bring in 10-20 times as many, because no one really knows how many there will be.
