"We didn't start the fire It was always burning, since the world's been turning We didn't start the fire No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it..." youtu.be/eFTLKWw542g?si=aSX_…

BLACK SEA BUG OUT: The Russian Black Sea Fleet command has decided to evacuate Sevastopol. Sources inside the Russian Navy, and the UKR partisan network Atesh, report officers have already started moving families and property – before any official order has been received.

Kelly: The U.S. should consider co-production with Ukraine: interceptors, drone manufacturing and other systems. This would not only help Ukraine win; it would help America too. Ukrainians are very good at this, and the U.S. has a lot to learn from them. 2/

Sen. Mark Kelly: There should be no holdup on a U.S.-Ukraine drone deal. If Ukraine is going to win and right now the momentum seems to be on Ukraine’s side, it needs additional help from the United States. 1/

In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel. This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide. I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Ukrainian drones are heading toward multiple Russian regions right now, with around 270 reported by Russian sources, @DrnBmbr reports.

More footage from Rybinsk after Ukrainian drone attacks. At least three strong fires are observed. The oil depot has a total of 61 fuel tanks. #Russia

🤯 BREAKING: Ukrainian intelligence intercepted documents from Putin's desk showing the Kremlin is bracing for an unstoppable rise in public discontent. The data reveals a significant surge in regional protest sentiment and a steady decline in support for the ruling party.

Ukrainian attack drones hit a major Russian oil depot in Rybinsk this morning, setting multiple tanks ablaze. Seen here, a Ukrainian attack drone flies towards the already burning Russian depot, descends, and then smashes into another oil tank.

Occupied city of Donetsk is also facing the consequences of a logistics lockdown announced by Ukraine. There are gigantic lines at gas stations across the city. ​The occupiers are still welcome to fuck off back to Russia and get their gas there.

Satellite footage confirms 14 fuel tanks were destroyed, and at least another 3 damaged at the transshipment complex in Hrusheva Balka near Novorossiysk that also functions as an oil depot. #Russia

St. Petersburg joins the Russian fuel shortage. What happened? Did you bastards start a war and plan to pretend nothing is happening just because you're far from the frontline? It's not going to work.

Absolute chaos in Crimea as fuel has totally run out. Drivers line up for days with no hope of enough to leave the penninsula.

Crimea is about to become an island, says Ukrainian Defense Ministry adviser Sternenko, calling this Russia's toughest summer yet. He's urging residents of occupied Zaporizhzhia, Kherson and Donetsk regions to evacuate as Russian logistics fall apart.

Sen. Mark Kelly: Odessa’s port is critical, around 40–50% of Ukraine’s economy goes out through it. Russia is aggressively attacking Odessa because that port is a huge source of revenue, and Crimea gives Moscow easy access to strike it. 1/

Russian occupiers complain that occupied Crimea has been "stormy" for the past two weeks. A Sevastopol resident writes fuel trucks didn't make it to the city again today, all bridges except the Crimean Bridge are destroyed, and they're being driven into blockade. No way..

New satellite images show the aftermath of strikes on the Dzhankoi checkpoint and the bridge over the Promoina Strait. The sites form part of Russian logistics routes linking occupied Crimea with occupied areas of southern Ukraine. #Crimea

Just sent out my free weekend update. This week, Ukraine's mid-range strike campaign focused on cutting off Crimea. If the Ukrainians can isolate the peninsula, Russian control will be close to impossible. Also, Ukraine opts for Infantry excellence over mass--a wise choice.

Russian milbloggers say Ukrainian "Hornet" drones have started cutting logistics on the Rostov-Taganrog highway, the same way they did with the Taganrog-Dzhankoi land corridor to Crimea. Next up is the M4 "Don," the federal highway running Moscow-Voronezh-Rostov-Krasnodar-Novorossiysk, they write.

Crimea will fall without gasoline.
