I read the ODNI report regarding the so-called Ukrainian biolabs, and it is almost entirely a rehash of publicly available information. The new data, which btw. also contains inaccurate maps of Ukraine, supplements publicly available data. There is not a single bombshell in it. Laboratories containing highly contagious and dangerous pathogens for humans and animals are the absolute normal in most countries around the globe. In Germany we have a range of them, with different biosafety levels. The laboratories in Marburg e.g. have a BSL-4, the highest maximum-containment level, and probably the best known one. Ukraine has not a single BSL-4 lab. Outgoing DNI Gabbard singles out Ukraine, regardless, trying to argue that the threat assessment is higher due to the ongoing war, which however has been started by Russia. Knowing that Russia is infamous for randomly destroying civilian objects, including healthcare institutes, makes the warning prudent at the first glance. The problem arises with Gabbard's framing. She not only conveniently omits this fact in her emphasis and tries to built a political case which does not exist, but also carefully refrains from pushing back against Russian lies of existing "bioweapons programs for offensive capacities". It is highly unlikely that this omission has been done by accident. There is no cover up. Virtually everything has been known. The report questions this not with one syllable. So why the fuss? Well, Gabbard's "departure" as DNI - despite counter claims - is probably not the result of her own choosing. The ongoing civil war in the MAGA bubble only found another victim, initially in a quiet manner. It also reminds us of former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, who resigned in protest of the events around Iran. Gabbard is well known for being an "anti-interventionalist". In this capacity she is more of problem for Trump than for anyone else. The war in Iran defies everything what she believes in. I still remember when the US President said: "I don't care what she (Tulsi) says." I'm absolutely certain that she never forgot those words, but she is clever enough not to antagonize the President, while still formulating her protest by trying to set things on fire before leaving the building.

The moment the Ukrainian type Ljutyj long-range drone struck the oil depot in Rybinsk, Yaroslavl region, in Russia. This drone type has a range of up to 2,000 km (1,250 miles).

Aside from the Rybinsk oil depot in Yaroslavl, Ukrainian long-range drones also attacked the Novomoskovsk chemical plant "Azot" in the Tula region. Videos show an explosion coming from the chemical plant, and NASA Firms show a heat signature at one of their main processing units. The Rybinsk oil depot is around 700 km (440 miles) from the Ukrainian border, the chemical plant 350 km (220 miles).

Ukrainian long-range drones have severely struck the oil depot of Rybinsk, Yaroslavl, in Russia. The drones just keep on coming.

Ukrainian drone forces struck the "Krymskyi Tytan" chemical plant near Russian-occupied Armiansk, Crimea, in Ukraine. The plant produces material important for the Russian military industry such as sulfuric acid and titanium dioxide.

It was only yesterday when I mentioned that it is only a question of time until Ukrainian forces will strike the pontoon bridge next to the Chonhar bridge, and it was already last night that it happened. At least two FP-1/2 drones struck the bridge. Furthermore, parking trucks, the Russian checkpoint and the train bridge nearby were struck as well.

A lot of Russian assets across the globe have started a last ditch effort to save Russia from its looming defeat. The only right response is to increase help for the Ukrainian people, enabling them to finish the job. Once imperial Russia is no more, many „domestic“ problems will „miraculously“ disappear, because after all it has always been Russia and not a domestic issue.

Satellite pictures released by TG channel Dnipro Osint (DniproOfficial) show that the Chonhar bridge connecting the two Russian-occupied regions in Ukraine has three clear impacts at the northern bridge. The southern bridge has two impacts. They both are evidently out of service. The pontoon bridge is yet operational, at least for the moment, but it is only one lane wide and the traffic jam on both sides make it an ideal target for more drones.

The Pro-Russian AfD laughed when German chancellor Friedrich Merz praised the heroic fight of the Ukrainian people for independence, which he immediately used to call out the treasonous character of the AfD, and wishing them „farewell to Moscow“.

The refinery in Nizhnekamsk, Tatarstan, currently in Russia is more than 1,100 km (700 miles) from the Ukrainian border. When operating without any interference the refinery annually produces up to 15 million tons in oil products.

Ukrainian long-range drones once again struck the refinery of Nizhnekamsk, Tatarstan, currently Russia.

Ukrainian drone forces released a 5 minute long video, showing the destruction of many valuable targets of the Russian army. The list: - Tor air defense system - Buk-M3 air defense system stationed Shevchenko, Donetsk region, Ukraine - Tugboat station in Berdyansk, Donetsk region, Ukraine - Fuel trucks in Mariupol, Donetsk region, Ukraine - Russian command post in Sentyanivka, Luhansk region, Ukraine - Warehouses in Novoazovsk, Donetsk region, Ukraine - Base of Russian UAV operators in Misusynsk, Luhansk region, in Ukraine - Electrical substation across Russian-occupied regions in Ukraine - Russian command post in Rozdol, Zaporizhzhia region, Ukraine

An impressive video showing the striking of the bridge in Armiansk, Crimea, Ukraine. The bridge is now clearly out of order. The video also shows the striking of several Russian trucks. It confirms that the Russian occupation in Crimea is increasingly under severe pressure.

Aside from the bridges, Ukrainian forces are grinding down Russian logistics in sector. The commander of the 1st Separate Assault Regiment of the Ukrainian Army, Filatov, reports that Ukrainian drones attacked around 50 Russian trucks carry fuel and ammunition in the Armiansk area, Crimea, Ukraine. It would corroborate statements by the Russian occupation that no trucks are reaching Crimean cities. Fuel can only be obtained using vouchers and no additional vouchers have been issued.

Ukrainian drone forces are methodically grinding down bridges connecting the Russian-occupied parts of Kherson with the occupied peninsula of Crimea. The bridge in Chonhar has already been critically hit. Russians moved pontoon bridges to bypass it, but Ukrainians continue to strike this area. In Henichesk the situation is similar. While the bridge is not completely closed, it has been severely damaged and only one lane can be used. It is questionable if the damaged bridge can carry heavy duty vehicles such as trucks and tankers. The bridge in Armiansk was hit by several drones and is impassable for cars and trucks. Additionally, the bridge near Stavky north of Armiansk has also been struck. The extent of the damage has yet to be determined. Overall the development is quite clear. Ukrainians are increasingly making all movement for logistics impossible. The list only the current state and will certainly get worse for the Russian invasion force. With the Kerch Bridge being diminished since the strikes some years ago and all major ferris destroyed, relative isolation of Russian-occupied Crimea is a new reality.

Ukrainian long range drones struck two crucial oil pump station in the Vladimir region, Russia. The Lebkovo and Vtorovo pump stations are part of a pipeline network supplying the Russian capital of Moscow with refined oil products. Pictures and NASA Firms show that the stations are burning.

The Kuibyshev refinery in Samara, Russia, has been severely struck this morning, as well.

The moment the VNIIR Progress electronics plant in Cheboksary, Chuvashia, in Russia got hit by one FP-5 cruise missile.

Extremely good videos of the Ukrainian FP-5 „Flamingo“. This heavy cruise missile struck the VNIIR Progress electronics plant in Cheboksary, Chuvashia, in Russia, over 1,000 km (630 miles) deep in Russian space this morning. The situation for Russia got worse.
