Since the American President announced the energy ceasefire a week ago, Russia has deliberately attacked Ukraine’s energy and oil and gas sectors 76 times. Last night alone, there were strikes on substations in the Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, and Odesa regions. Tens of thousands of families remain without power. Energy workers and repair crews are working virtually around the clock to restore electricity supply. Overnight, the Russians also struck residential buildings in our regions. As of now, 12 people have been reported injured, including two children. Two people have been killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. This morning, there was a strike on an agricultural enterprise in Volyn. All necessary services are working at the site.
In total, over this past week, the Russians have attacked Ukraine with almost 2,700 attack drones, 1,700 aerial bombs, and 66 missiles, most of them ballistic. The main targets of these strikes are energy facilities – the Russians are trying to cause a blackout. And America should see that Russia is not taking any reciprocal steps in response to sanctions relief or agreements. On the contrary, they take every signal of an opportunity to make money as proof that their bet on war is paying off and they can keep fighting. It is because of this position of Russia’s that the war continues, not because Ukraine is rightfully defending itself. It is Russia that must face pressure for peace to have a chance. Thank you to everyone who understands this and helps.

A brutal and desperate modern slave-trade operation has just been exposed inside Russia’s second-largest city.
In St. Petersburg, state security forces are actively conducting aggressive, large-scale raids targeting migrant workers. However, this is not a legal crackdown - it is a forced mobilization trap. Russian law enforcement is intentionally targeting vulnerable workers with minor document issues, trapping them in detention, and systematically coercing them to sign military contracts for the war.
This cannibalistic tactic reveals that the Kremlin has drastically depleted its volunteer manpower and is now turning to state-sponsored extortion to fill its ranks. By abusing the defenseless legal status of foreign workers, the regime is actively harvesting cheap cannon fodder to be immediately thrown into suicidal "meat wave" assaults on the frontlines.
This horrific domestic reality shatters Moscow's hypocritical propaganda of global brotherhood, exposing modern Russia as nothing more than a desperate, totalitarian mafia state that hunts down human beings on its streets just to sustain its failing imperial slaughter

I've been reading comments from St. Petersburg residents after last night's Ukrainian Armed Forces attacks. So much outrage, fear, and astonishment. Yet nobody seems to be asking the question: "Why?"
I scrolled through several feeds, and I got the impression that these people have been living in a parallel reality all this time, believing that the war was happening somewhere far away and had absolutely nothing to do with them.
Until now, that is.
Well, you'd better get used to it. Because this is far from over. 😏

💥 St. Petersburg hit by one of the largest drone attacks since the war began
Smoke hangs over Putin’s hometown as oil facilities, warehouses, and a data center come under attack. Governor Beglov reports one person killed, five injured, and 12 apartment buildings damaged.
Fires broke out at the St. Petersburg Oil Terminal, the Ruchyi oil depot, and industrial warehouses in the Kolpino district. Ozon confirmed a strike on its warehouse.
A VKontakte data center was also reportedly targeted. Users are reporting outages, although the company insists its services remain unaffected.

HUGE COLLAPSE IN RUSSIA: AIRPORTS CLOSED, DATA CENTERS ON FIRE
youtu.be/R503h_uHHs8
🕷❄Paul Blackburn 74%❄🕷🐟💙🇺🇦 retweeted
✈️🔥 Three huge systemic failures are developing inside Russia at the same time – aviation, internal connectivity, and digital infrastructure.
Russia is the largest country in the world, but also one of the most centralized. That makes transportation and communication absolutely critical. Yet drone threats have repeatedly shut airports across the country: in August alone, Russian airports imposed temporary restrictions 993 times, and flight cancellations and long delays have continued into October.
🛫 Think about what this means beyond angry passengers. Regional businessmen, officials, and political elites depend heavily on Moscow. The harder and less predictable that connection becomes, the more distance – literally and politically – can appear between the Kremlin and the regions.
🚨 The same applies if serious unrest develops far from Moscow. The Kremlin has traditionally relied on centralized security structures to reinforce local authorities. If aviation and logistics are repeatedly disrupted, moving people and resources quickly becomes harder. Local police may even choose to side with their own communities – while Moscow’s ability to respond becomes more complicated.
💻 And then there is Yandex. Three major Yandex data centers were disrupted within days, including facilities in Kaluga, Sasovo, and Vladimir.
People across social media have claimed that Russian propaganda bots suddenly disappeared afterward. Whether that connection is direct or not, the broader pattern is impossible to ignore: Russia built an extremely centralized state, and now several of the systems connecting that state are under pressure simultaneously.
🔥 Aviation. Logistics. Digital infrastructure.
That is the story I think deserves much more attention.

✈️🔥 22 major Russian airports closed. Almost 1,000 flights cancelled and thousands more delayed – in just one day.
And a lot of angry, frustrated Russians are now feeling this war much more directly on their own territory.
🇺🇦 It is becoming harder and harder to ignore how much pressure Ukrainian drones can put on the skies above Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi and across the European part of the Russian Federation.
At the same time, Russia continues attacking Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, while the White House keeps increasing pressure on Ukraine in the so-called negotiations process. But Ukraine continues doing what has actually weakened Russia’s war machine: defending itself and demilitarizing the aggressor.
🛫 And the collapse of aviation creates a much bigger problem for Putin than cancelled holidays and angry passengers. Russia is the largest country in the world and an extremely centralized state. When unrest begins in a distant region, the Kremlin traditionally relies on Moscow – including the rapid movement of security forces.
So here is the interesting question: what happens if aviation itself becomes unreliable exactly when the Kremlin needs it most?

✈️🔥 Minus six Russian Su-34 bombers in one day. That means fewer aircraft available to drop guided bombs on Ukrainian cities — and potentially many innocent lives saved.
🇺🇦 And the best part? Ukraine did it with our own Neptune missiles.
President Zelensky says four Su-34s were destroyed and two more damaged at Russia’s Borisoglebsk airfield. All six were reportedly prepared for new strikes and equipped with aerial bombs. (The Kyiv Independent)
💥 So yes, Russian media may eventually talk about “debris.”
Absolutely. Debris of Russian bombers.
🛰️ Meanwhile, Ukraine has just faced sudden restrictions affecting Starlink-supported military operations. Questions also remain about the level of U.S. intelligence support, although reporting does not establish that intelligence sharing has been completely switched off. (Reuters)
And yet, the very next day: four Russian bombers destroyed, two damaged.
Putin’s war machine is getting weaker — one aircraft at a time. 🇺🇦🔥

What allowing Russia to sell oil products means was heard most clearly in Kyiv just now, when, after repeated attacks on energy facilities with jet-powered “shaheds,” Russia launched a ballistic missile attack as well. Some of the missiles were intercepted. This once again clearly demonstrates Russia’s true intentions. They count on prolonging the war, terrorizing ordinary people, and destroying infrastructure.
Every additional billion dollars they can earn from exports will be spent on nothing but sourcing and importing critical components and equipment to manufacture weapons, upgrading “shaheds,” producing missiles, and recruiting even more mercenaries to fight at the front. Russia’s choice is war. And they will be ready to end it only when they feel that their ability to drag the war out is diminishing.
Unfortunately, the signals Russia received yesterday were entirely different – signals suggesting that it could simply keep attacking. And this needs to be corrected. Strong signals are needed from the United States, Europe, and other partners – signals in support of Ukraine and to RESTRICT Russia’s ability to wage war and terrorize people. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

💥A rare sight these days: a HIMARS strike, apparently using a GMLRS rocket, destroys a Russian Irbis counter-battery radar after it was detected and tracked by reconnaissance drones of Ukraine’s 43rd Artillery Brigade.
The Irbis is a relatively new Russian multifunctional radar introduced in 2024, designed to locate artillery and rocket launch positions while also detecting aircraft and drones, with a claimed detection range of up to 150 km.

🔥🇺🇦 Welcome to the sarcastic Anna regime – because how else can I comment on Ukrainian drones setting fire to one of Yandex’s major data centers?
💻 The Kremlin keeps switching off the internet for Russians. This time, Ukraine helped with the job. The strike forced the Yandex facility to suspend operations and disrupted a number of Russian online services. Yandex is basically Russia’s Google – and Russia has repeatedly targeted Ukrainian digital infrastructure too. We can play this game as well. (Reuters)
🛢️ But Omsk was even more impressive. Ukrainian drones reached Russia’s largest oil refinery, more than 2,500 km from Ukraine, despite Putin’s supposedly “best in the world” air defense. The refinery processes more than 22 million tons of crude oil a year and is Russia’s largest producer of automotive gasoline. (United24 Media)
🎂 Quite a birthday present for Putin.
Russians keep asking: what is wrong with Russian air defense?
The real question is: what is wrong with Vladimir Putin?

Another strike on a Russian oil refinery in Omsk – one of the major refineries – as well as on the Ukhta oil refinery, 1,900 kilometers from Ukraine’s state border. The target in Ukhta was hit by An-196 RS drones, which can fly about 2,500 kilometers, while FP-6 drones (modified FP-1s) were used against the Omsk refinery the day before. We continue to respond to Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, and we’re doing so with high precision. Another data center was hit as well – our symmetrical response. An important display of accuracy by our warriors. Glory to Ukraine!

There are russian airplanes over Kramatorsk right now dropping 40 glide bombs every day. Today they killed 33 innocent people. These are huge weapons never designed for civilian areas. Ukraine needs air defense to shoot down those planes & save thousands of innocent lives.
