More Russian oil refineries are on fire after Ukrainian attacks – Russian personnel losses have now surpassed 1.4 million.

By /

There are reports of fires in several locations following last night’s Ukrainian attacks, including at the oil refineries in Slavyansk and Yaroslavl. The exact extent of the damage is still unclear, but reports from the Slavyansk oil refinery indicate that tanks are burning. Read more here at Kyiv Independent.

Kyiv Independent also writes about Russian attacks, and among other places, Kyiv is said to have been attacked by missiles during the night. Read more here.

Russian losses in Ukraine

According to today’s report, Russia has now surpassed 1.4 million wounded and injured soldiers. Critical voices have begun to be heard among the soldiers; Alexander Lunin is one of those who has spoken about a soldier uprising. Not because they do not want to fight against Ukraine, but because they believe the Russian military treats its soldiers poorly.
He is now reportedly arrested according to this post. Omni also mentioned him yesterday here, but does not state that he has been arrested. The question is whether he will be followed by others, or if all attempts will be stopped.

        I think of Putin’s envoy Sergei Markov, who with his aggressive statements around 2014 contributed to Sweden and Finland choosing to become members of NATO. He accused, among other things, Finland of wanting a third world war.

      Thin skulls rattle the most! 😂

      Omni also covered it, I saw:

      “Top politician Aleksey Zhuravlyov, who is the deputy chairman of the Russian State Duma’s defense committee, says that Finland is gradually ‘turning into a second Ukraine’ and is on its way ‘down into the abyss,’ reports Kyiv Independent.

      – Even now I can assure you that we have gathered enough military equipment there to blow up half of Finland, he says to the Russian-controlled state media Gazeta.ru, the newspaper writes.

      The statement comes after it became clear that the American defense company Lockheed Martin plans to cooperate with Finland to build a maintenance center in Europe for rocket artillery systems in Tampere, the newspaper writes.”

      Johan, you asked yesterday about artillery.
      There is no statistics for it for the entire war, and Ragna’s chart can only display intervals of 250 days.

      This is what it has looked like in the last 250 days:

      This is what it looked like during the spring and summer of 2025.

      So what you wrote about them being at 6000 and now down to 3000 is quite accurate. There have also been periods with even lower numbers earlier as well.

    1. MXT

      Unfortunately, I have not seen any official statements about what is included in that category. Most probably assume that it involves surveillance (radars, cameras, etc.). I guess that other communication equipment is also included, such as transmitters and relay stations, masts, etc.

      They could also involve mine-laying or mine-clearing vehicles, excavators, and so on, but of course, they could also fall under other vehicles.

    Somewhat higher Russian pressure, but especially lower Ukrainian pressure (unlocalized attacks: the difference between the total number of combat engagements and the sum of the localized Russian attacks, per front section, the list below), resulting in a lower ratio. Decreased total.

    Sweden’s Supreme Commander (ÖB) Michael Claesson does not think that the US reduction of support to NATO countries is “so insanely dramatic,” he tells TT.

    At the same time, he believes that Sweden may come to have a significant role in NATO’s future defense after the cutbacks.

    – We can probably expect, just like the other allies in relation to economic strength and population size, to receive additional tasks, he tells TT.

    However, it may be difficult to replace certain capabilities on short notice.

      🥱 Sounds reasonable, but as usual the absence of the EU lights up half the globe like a solar eclipse. Not a speck of dust, clinically cleared of everything the parties through their representatives have been involved in deciding within the EU. Since 1994. Legio. Never ever can an EU president appear on the map when it comes to Sweden. No, we don’t have a Meloni. We have a bunch of cowardly politicians ruling Sweden above our heads. 

        1. 205

          For sure, and now it is about choosing which representatives, and then half of the political agenda and decisions (read EU) are not irrelevant, when voters are going to outsource their direct influence for the next four years… For a sense of the time scale – roughly as long as it took Sweden to decide to send JAS to Ukraine. Even the decision on NATO membership went faster. 

      2. Pehr

        Yes, I really like the idea behind this compass as it is not possible to hide behind fluffy election promises.
        Good post. Probably a lot of work but it should reasonably be possible to expand it to also include how Swedish politicians have acted/voted both in the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers (as well as the Commission).

      Damn, apparently I am a Centre Party member. I have to end my presence here and return to the Centre Party’s website, cornu.

      That was a blow I hadn’t expected. The consolation is that I have 0%(!) in common with the Green Party, which makes me happy.

    6. N Eklund

      Got between 41% and 51% on all parties, if I remove the party at 41% the range is 46-51%.

      Based on 133 cards.

      But it was difficult, sometimes the questions contained a good suggestion and one that was way off. In that way, there were some that you would need to know more about as they could be good or implemented poorly.

    Admiral Rob Bauer: If Russia wanted to attack NATO, where do you think that decision would be made? In Beijing.

    The Chinese basically allow Russia to stay in the war. They provide Russia with everything it needs to manufacture weapons.

    The Chinese can still say: “We are not giving weapons.” But they literally give Russia everything it needs to manufacture those weapons.

    That is why I believe that if Russia wanted to attack NATO, they would need to ask for permission in Beijing.

    Russia is putting everything into Ukraine to win the war. America and Europe support Ukraine with our military and financial aid.

    Who benefits from that? It is China. They can continue to build up their military strength and prepare for whatever they want to achieve.

    And Russia is becoming more and more the subordinate partner in the boundless partnership.

      They are cunning and, to make matters worse, European politicians are, with few exceptions, naive.
      On the other hand, China is completely dependent on the European market, and a war would hit them hard.

      Good, he puts into words what all of us with a bit under the hat have known since Trump’s previous presidential term.

      Not that Biden was particularly successful either, he was so cautious that it became a problem in itself.

    Did you see that Iraq has gone full anti-Iran.

    The same in Lebanon.

    and the Kurds are moving in Iran.

    Seems to be working hard quietly here

          Always this Umeå. A stronghold for Marxism, they probably do not want to admit that the Soviet Union is dissolved. Maybe they place their trust in Putin to restore their territories.

  17. johan No.1

    It is a massive campaign to portray Ukraine as the aggressor now, all the old favorites are out in full force + a few more.

    That means RU is starting to sweat.

     

    1. MXT

      Not only Russia is sweating. It was not the right day to wreak havoc in the garden with lawn mowing, fixing the dilapidated wooden deck, etc.. Completely exhausted. 🥵

        My hens had to lay on an ice pack yesterday so that the eggs wouldn’t be hard-boiled when the hens laid them. I prefer a more runny yolk.🐔🥚🧂

      It will be lasting peace only when Russia has been defeated once and for all and the empire dissolved.
      European politicians must not lose focus now.

      1. johan No.1

        There will probably be lasting peace only when MXT has managed to oil the wooden deck 😀

        EXACTLY Pehr, it is about driving the knife straight into the heart, apparently it is in our nature not to do that as democracies and we must find our inner Viking.

    3. CB500four

      Well, the trolls come out on Facebook when things go badly for the Russians. In the same way, you notice an onslaught of climate change deniers when the temperature rises.

    “It is one of the biggest fires a Russian refinery experienced, to this date. It was definitely not empty. As if Ukrainians had precise intel when and where to strike here in Slavyansk-on-Kuban, Krasnodar region, in Russia. In any way, extremely effective shooting.”

    ** ‘We’ve Seen No Escalation’: Ukrainian Army Rebuffs Putin’s Claim of Russian Advances on Kupyansk
    In brief: Putin claimed Moscow’s troops are just kilometers from Kupyansk, but a Khartiia brigade commander told Kyiv Post Russian assaults have not intensified and Ukraine is preventing enemy forces from massing near the city. **
