Ukraine’s attacks on the energy infrastructure in Crimea continue, read more here. At the same time, more and more videos are spreading from dissatisfied Russians who are having difficulty obtaining gasoline, and there are reports of power outages with the population urged to save electricity. Most of the electricity and heat produced in Crimea comes from combined heat and power plants using gas, but also to some extent from oil.
Ukraine has also attacked an oil depot in Krasnodar Krai (which is located on the mainland near the Kerch Bridge). Read more at Kyiv Independent.
According to social media posts, Ukraine has also struck oil refineries (yes, reportedly several in Ufa, 1300 km from Ukraine. See posts here, and here you can see one of the drones on its way).

GLORY TO UKRAINE
Today is payday, make sure to donate in support of Ukraine!
The war is far from over!
If you then have some money left over, buy Ukrainian beer, it is needed in the summer heat!
If you still have some spare change, please consider contributing to the site’s survival.
Many thanks to those who donate!
Apologies for the late post, had things to do.
Don't forget to donate, Ukraine's cause is ours! Support Ukraine!
** Zelensky said Ukrainian forces struck the Poltavskaya oil depot in Krasnodar region, about 300 km from the front, and SBU drones hit Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim and Bashneft-Novoyl refineries in Ufa, 1,500 km away. **

It’s taking shape… but how come so many who voted on when the war will end have chosen the option even later? And isn’t that a voting record? Just a feeling I got.
I believe this will be over by the first half of 2027 at the latest if Ukraine continues the way it has recently.
When the war is over may be a bit difficult to pin down. Does it mean a ceasefire, or is it over only when Russia seriously abandons its imperial ambitions?
When they have left, it must be flawless.
That’s why I took the first half of 2027 😄
While the number of votes was at a normal level, it was the first or second half of 2027 that peaked, and I don’t think anyone voted any later than that.
It’s always relatively easy to cheat open votes if you want to, it’s probably some childish type who thought it was fun to ruin.
We have managed well before, it’s unfortunate if we have to lock it to logged-in users. It is possible to cheat with that too for the persistent, but easier to detect and most probably don’t bother with it just for the pleasure of ruining.
Those who wait for something good do not wait too long, or however the saying goes. MXT hopeful post today with 💪
Yes, of course, there will be a donation to Ukraine as well as an order of Obolon. A small donation also slipped in to this excellent site.
Nice! 👍👍👍
The soup cod is spreading out 🤩🤩
raff in Ufa as well, right?
Good momentum in the thread, you have sun 😄
Half of the thread is holding their portfolio or relying on their managers following the financial advice dropped in yesterday’s thread.
😂
😂
Working and token-maxing! 😂
Ua is standing on Kinburn Spit now 👍
🚀💥
Lovely! Even better if you could share the source..😉
By definition, therefore, crossed the Dnieper
Ru art down.
UA is shooting more than twice as many long-range drones as RU now.
The loss list is enormous.
Heavy pressure on Putin now 😍😍
It’s almost getting boring not being the underdog who believes in a win when everyone is shouting loss 😄
Generators are dragged hellishly with fuel thousands of times at the southern front and the Dnepr.
I did not see that coming – no drones, no radio, no air surveillance
😁💪
😂👍
Go Luka. He senses that it is time to improve his relationship with Ukraine. He sees that Ukraine is about to win.
Ah, there we got a source!👍
You would think that you would have a handle on stuff like this 🧐
Has the edge become dull like this in the summer heat?
Are the attacks on production starting to show? One can hope. Good momentum now, hope it continues.
Belarus’s Cyber Partisans are no longer focused primarily on Lukashenka.
Their next priority is Russia.
The group that disrupted Belarusian Railways in 2022, slowing Russian military logistics during the invasion of Ukraine, now says Moscow is its main target.
According to spokesperson Yuliana Shemetovets, they are preparing a new strategy focused on Russian networks, including more destructive cyber operations. AI is helping them scale those efforts while Belarusian intelligence continues trying to infiltrate the group.
Why this matters:
This isn’t simply a Belarusian opposition movement anymore. It’s part of a wider campaign to increase the cost of Russia’s war from inside the digital domain.

The Cyber Partisans are only one part of Belarus’s resistance.
The Kastuś Kalinoŭski Regiment continues fighting alongside Ukraine, arguing that Belarus cannot become free while Russia dominates the region.
Commander Pavel Shurmei puts it plainly:
“Victory for Ukraine is a victory for Belarus.”
He also says the Cyber Partisans provide intelligence verification and practical support for Belarusian volunteers.
This shows how military, intelligence and cyber resistance are becoming increasingly interconnected across the region.
Sources: https://kalinouski.org/en/?PageSpeed=noscript
The timing is significant.
Belarusian opposition figures warn Minsk is moving onto a wartime footing through higher military spending, expanded recruitment and deeper integration with Russia’s defense industry.
At the same time, President Zelensky has publicly demanded that Lukashenka dismantle infrastructure Ukraine says supports Russian drone attacks.
The Cyber Partisans’ strategic shift reflects a broader reality:
Many Belarusians now see Russia, not only Lukashenka, as the central obstacle to Belarusian sovereignty.

“I urged President Putin to end his attack on Ukraine and withdraw the troops from Ukraine’s territory, so that this war can finally come to an end.
Russia could easily restore peace in Ukraine at any time by withdrawing from the illegally occupied territories and reinstating Ukraine’s sovereignty and full territorial integrity.”
— Giorgia Meloni
Prime Minister of Italy
💯🎯
I urge Meloni to continue with such statements.
The world is saved ✊✊
(good move by Meloni, the Italians here like her).
Hooray! Clear and obvious
Exactly right! It has been pointed out by Ukraine since the beginning of the war, but it is good that as many as possible repeat it.
Good,
Hope there are now more who also dare to speak out and say it like it is.
That should have been said publicly right from the start, so that the Russians would not have gotten the idea that we accept their behavior.
Fled the heat in southern Sweden to Spain, so now I’m feeling good in the afternoon sun, Cruz Campo, and a gentle sea breeze.
Damn, life is good sometimes.
Lovely! 👍

New Swedish support to Ukraine – 1.5 billion for energy supply
The government has decided on new support to Ukraine of nearly 1.5 billion kronor. The support is aimed at building up and protecting the country’s energy supply.
– The idea is that the money should arrive by autumn when the situation is more critical, says Minister for Aid and Foreign Trade Benjamin Dousa (M) to TT.

On-topic: Zelensky on Crimea, Russia, and Belarus.
“Our intelligence service has obtained important information about the situation in Crimea and in our other territories currently under Russian occupation. Ukraine’s foreign intelligence service has received information indicating that the crisis regarding fuel, military logistics, and governance on Crimea is worsening practically day by day. The Russian occupation administration clearly and unequivocally admits its inability to solve the problems created by our medium-term sanctions against the occupying power, as well as by the implementation of our plan for long-term sanctions, primarily aimed at Russian oil refining. A similar situation is developing in other Russian regions as well.
We have also gained access to internal Russian documents mapping the mood among the citizens of the aggressor state. Currently, unrest among Russians is already higher than it was during our Kursk operation: more than 50 percent. Already, 66 percent of Russians consider their economic situation difficult. More than 80 percent of Russians believe that a large-scale economic crisis in Russia is inevitable. These are very clear indicators reflecting the failure of Putin’s war policy.
Separately, Oleh Luhovskyi reported on measures being implemented in Belarus, under obvious Russian influence, to prepare for a possible expansion of aggression against Ukraine. Along our state border in Belarus, the construction of road infrastructure and storage bases for ammunition, fuel, and lubricants is soon to be completed. These facilities have no purpose other than military. They concern the border stretches Kobryn–Kovel, Ivanava–Manevychi, Luninets–Sarny, Rechytsa–Korosten, and Homiel–Chernihiv. We know that Russian documents specifically describe this in connection with the tasks of the so-called “SVO.”
Belarus has received the necessary signals from Ukraine regarding this activity, as well as regarding all other forms of its cooperation with Russia aimed at prolonging and escalating the war. Belarus knows what measures it must take for peace. The expansion of border infrastructure for aggression from Belarus must be stopped. It is the Belarusian side that must take measures for de-escalation and peace. Thanks to everyone who helps us protect lives and our independence! Glory to Ukraine!”
Here, you climate crisis deniers, see how damn bad it can get! 😱

“Paris bans all consumption and sale of alcohol on Friday due to the heatwave, announces police chief Patrick Faure according to Le Figaro. The consumption ban applies from 12 PM, and the sales ban from 6 PM. The reason is the overloaded hospitals. The city has earlier this week banned alcohol consumption in public places. The text is being updated.”

Ban alcohol!!!??? 😡
Out of joint is the time.
They have crossed the line 😶
Off-topic, USA 🇺🇸/ Canada 🇨🇦, not just the Kerch Bridge.
“For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada have collaborated to build a new public bridge right next to the old one – a six-lane bridge over the Detroit River, named after a Canadian-born Red Wings legend and built by thousands of union workers. Canada covered the entire cost. Michigan is a co-owner. It is completed. It is a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with huge benefits for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs.
So why isn’t it open?
Because the Moroun family, who own the competing Ambassador Bridge just upstream, don’t want competition. They have spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to prevent any competing international bridge from being built or opened. They lost. So instead, they turned to the White House.
In January, Matthew Moroun donated 1 million dollars to a super-PAC supporting Trump. After that, the billionaire called Trump’s Secretary of Commerce and, just a few hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he had praised during his first term and threatened to block it. Then, the day before the inauguration on June 12, the inauguration was postponed indefinitely.”

😂 Go Trump!
Looks like it, good income for the family I guess?
Not a bad idea to have the only bridge for transport.
Banana republic
Trump should become president 😂👍🏻!
FOUNDATION TROUBLE: A UKR seismologist claims cumulative damage to the Kerch Bridge from recent Magnitude 4.5 earthquakes is now irreversible and irreparable. Six quakes hit near Crimea on June 22.
Built on unstable silt + fault lines, with allegedly relaxed seismic standards, nature might achieve what strikes haven’t. Will it hold?

There, much better to send the money to Ukraine which has identified and concrete needs to put the money into than to provide a semi-corrupt Swedish construction company with a nice-to-have cash reserve for future billion-roll projects that no one has asked for, for its own sake. Defense is needed now and the front line is in Ukraine. Not in some obsolete magic line in five years that was built to waste money on unnecessary and unnecessarily expensive projects. Lex Karlsborg fortress. Ukraine uses the money smartly. That is hardly what PEAB is known for.

“The construction company Peab receives a loan equivalent to 1.4 billion SEK from the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB). The purpose is to strengthen the military and civil defense in the Nordic countries.
The loan amounts to a total of 125 million euros. But which projects the money will finance has not yet been specified, said Peab’s CEO, Jesper Göransson, according to the newspaper Byggnadsarbetaren.
The Nordic Investment Bank has noted that Peab is an essential part of the total defense, Göransson says to Byggnadsarbetaren.
NIB’s deputy CEO, Jeanette Vitasp, states in a press release that through the investment they want to “ensure that critical infrastructure can be built and maintained in the current challenging geopolitical situation.”
This is the first time NIB has given a loan to a construction company for this type of defense investment.”

Yes, it was strange, a bit like the COVID support that was abused to the extreme.
Are they going to build away Russia?
Bad
There will be a post tomorrow and then one on Monday or Tuesday so you don’t double post MXT.
Macron: For the first time, the USA has managed to sign a document with us where they state that they are no longer neutral mediators.
They support Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty together with us, with military capacity, energy support, and sanctions against Russia.
Macron: Since 2022, Europeans themselves have adopted strategic autonomy — Ukraine accelerated this, and the past 18 months have pushed us over a new threshold.
I support a strong European pillar within NATO. I am not in favor of distancing ourselves from the USA.
