Last night, Ukraine 🇺🇦 strucked the 7th Russian 🇷🇺 refinery in 9 days By carrying out this intense campaign of strikes, the Ukrainians are going against D. Trump and his "energy ceasefire" proposal, all while Russia is bombing Ukrainian power plants on a daily basis.
In the last 7 days, Ukraine 🇺🇦 hit 6 Russian 🇷🇺 refineries and one oil pumping station The strike campaign started on October 30th in Samara, continued in Ufa, Kstovo, Yaroslavl, Ryazan and Krasnodar. Compared to earlier, it seems that many drones managed to go through, and multiple critical parts of these refineries may have been hit. In general, it takes months for Russia to restart those, which is why Ukraine is following a turning strategy, hitting refineries that have been repaired. -> Despite D. Trump's brokered energy ceasefire, both Ukraine and Russia didn't stop striking each other's energy facilities, with a notable increase of strikes recently.

Iskanders aren’t laughing The past day was a hot one for the occupiers. On 6 November and during the night of 7 November, units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine hit a number of important targets on the territory of russia and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Good news came from Bryansk Oblast, where two Iskander operational-tactical missile system (OTRK) launchers were hit. The extent of the damage is still being clarified, but the significance of this strike is already clear. Every Iskander launcher put out of action reduces the russian army’s ability to carry out ballistic missile strikes on Ukrainian cities. Also in Bryansk Oblast, a Pantsir-S1 air defence missile-gun system came under fire – one of those meant to protect russian facilities from the air. The occupiers did not escape “logistics losses” in Luhansk Oblast either, where russian materiel and supply depots were hit in the areas of Sokolohirsk and Zaaidarivka. And in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, in the Novobohdanivka area, a concentration of enemy unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators was struck. Operations against the enemy’s key military targets will continue until russia completely ceases its armed aggression against Ukraine. To be continued 💥 Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦

We fight for freedom and die for freedom. Words are important. Words from the United States – the biggest supporter of freedom – are important. Support is important. If the words against Putin and his aggression are strong, if a support package for Ukraine is strong, Putin will think twice, three times, ten times about whether he wants to attack or maybe this war has been enough for him. I always tried to make this point to the American President, with all due gratitude to him and his team: Putin respects only a strong position. Even from the enemy, but a strong position. We cannot end this war saying good things about him. We see it – the war is in its fifth year now. From an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN. (2/3)

We have not recorded a meaningful Russian advance in 8 days. A few sabotage and reconnaissance squad (DRG) infiltrations. Almost 2000+ Russian troops KIA/WIA a day for the last week for nothing. The equivalent of 4 brigades thrown into a woodchipper.

❗️Democrats in the US House and Senate say new aid for Ukraine will be a top priority when they take control of Congress in January, Reuters reports. They could attach funding for Kyiv and tougher sanctions on Russia to major defense or budget bills. Trump retains veto power, but the scale of Democratic gains could make a two-thirds override possible with Republican support. No substantial new Ukraine aid legislation has passed since Trump returned to office in January 2025. #Ukraine

Grateful to the legendary Wayne Gretzky for standing firmly behind Canada's decision — and the true values of hockey. Russia cannot wage war against Ukraine and expect to compete as if nothing has happened. No business as usual, on or off the ice.

Point de situation rapide sur la guerre en Ukraine 🇺🇦 Cette année, la situation s’est nettement améliorée pour Kiev, tant sur le front que dans l’organisation générale des affaires militaires. Le printemps et le début de l’été ont été marqués par de nombreux succès ukrainiens, en particulier deux contre-offensives, l’une à Lyman, l’autre dans le sud, qui ont donné des résultats conséquents durant l’été et jusqu’au début de l’automne. En parallèle, les Ukrainiens sont parvenus à stopper la progression russe en direction de Zaporijjia et à la ralentir dans le Donbass. Les opérations russes visant à créer une zone tampon le long de la frontière n’ont donné que peu de résultats, sauf dans l’oblast de Kharkiv, où l’armée russe a progressé dans l’est. Ces succès s’accompagnent d’une nouvelle réorganisation de l’armée. La fin du commandement de Syrsky et l’arrivée de Drapatyi, très apprécié des troupes, ont mis fin à une partie des problèmes de commandement, de corruption et d’emploi des troupes d’assaut. Les décisions de Drapatyi ont notamment permis de stabiliser la situation en direction de Sloviansk. L’Ukraine a également développé cette année un large arsenal de drones capables de frapper dans la profondeur intermédiaire (mid-range) russe, ce qui fait grimper les pertes russes. Les forces russes peinent désormais à acheminer des hommes au plus près du front. Elles perdent plusieurs dizaines de milliers d’hommes par mois si l’on compte les tués, les blessés et les disparus, avec un record symbolique de 54 000 pertes le mois dernier selon les sources ukrainiennes, un chiffre invérifiable. Ces frappes mid-range touchent l’ensemble des territoires occupés et compliquent la logistique russe. Entrepôts, dépôts de munitions, bases arrière, axes logistiques, ports, aéroports et infrastructures énergétiques sont ciblés très régulièrement. Les Ukrainiens ont aussi développé de nouveaux vecteurs pour frapper en profondeur sur le territoire russe. Ils ont frappé des raffineries russes plus de 105 fois cette année, ainsi que des dizaines de dépôts pétroliers. Le coût de la guerre pour la Russie a explosé cette année, entre l’envolée du prix du recrutement, le coût des frappes ukrainiennes et une guerre qui s’éternise. Moscou fait face à un vrai problème de recrutement, auquel elle tente de remédier non pas par une mobilisation, mais en fixant des objectifs de recrutement aux oblasts. Pour autant, la situation est loin d’être parfaite pour l’Ukraine. La Russie poursuit sa progression dans le Donbass en engageant de très nombreux soldats. Les forces ukrainiennes manquent cruellement d’hommes et subissent toujours trop de pertes. Elles tentent de compenser par davantage de drones, notamment des drones terrestres pour les missions logistiques. L’Ukraine a aussi un problème de défense aérienne. Elle n’est plus en mesure d’intercepter les missiles russes et n’a pas les moyens d’abattre tous les drones. Cela survient alors que le nombre de frappes russes explose avec le développement de nouveaux vecteurs longue portée, à commencer par la famille des Geran : les Geran-2 qui saturent la défense aérienne, les Geran-4 qui mènent des frappes ciblées guidées par caméra, et les Geran-5, ces drones-missiles qui frappent quotidiennement l’arrière du pays. Les Russes ont aussi développé d’autres types de missiles tirés depuis des avions ou des hélicoptères, comme les Banderol, les Onyx ou les Dan-T. Dans le même temps, le nombre de frappes de missiles balistiques et de croisière s’envole, alors que l’Ukraine manque d’intercepteurs. Résultat : l’Ukraine traverse une situation énergétique chaotique et a subi des frappes importantes sur sa logistique terrestre, maritime et ferroviaire ainsi que sur ses entrepôts. La Russie dispose d’un net avantage dans cette guerre des frappes, ce qui pèse sur l’économie ukrainienne. C’est là que l’Ukraine est le plus en difficulté : elle manque d’argent et de moyens, sa population ne cesse de diminuer, et le financement européen reste une épée de Damoclès. En résumé, la situation sur le front est bien meilleure pour l’Ukraine qu’au cours des trois dernières années. Kiev a en partie stabilisé le front, mène des contre-offensives à plusieurs endroits et tue un nombre record de soldats russes. C’est très inquiétant pour la Russie, qui n’arrive plus à avancer et se concentre sur les frappes en profondeur. À l’inverse, l’Ukraine éprouve de grandes difficultés en défense intérieure et subit de plein fouet une attrition de ses moyens civils, industriels et énergétiques à l’arrière. Incapable depuis près de cinq ans de vaincre militairement l’armée ukrainienne, la Russie semble chercher à faire capituler le pays par des frappes massives sur ses arrières. Le soutien à l’Ukraine, lui, ne faiblit pas : les financements européens remplacent avec constance les financements américains, mais ils restent incertains et le coût de la guerre augmente. La guerre coûte évidemment très cher à l’Ukraine, mais aussi à la Russie, contrainte de réduire ses dépenses d’infrastructures, de santé et d’éducation pour combler les déficits creusés par la guerre. La guerre risque donc de durer.

Well, what can I say? Once again, I can only express my admiration for the fact that, despite not only the cutoff of 99% of American aid following the arrival of the Trump administration, but also the Pentagon's subsequent outright sabotage of deliveries of weapons purchased with European money, and the direct collusion between the White House and the Kremlin -- the Ukrainian military has not only refused to break, but has continued to fight, held the front line, and kept inflicting defeats on the Russia and striking deep into the Russian rear, against all odds. Extraordinary heroism and ingenuity -- backed by the wisdom of those among our friends who have continued to support the army of the free world.

💥🔥 15 of Russia’s 38 strategic oil refineries are out of operation and another 12 have cut production, according to Ukrainian defence intelligence. It says combined refining capacity at the facilities assessed is down 55.4% since the start of the year. This footage reportedly shows fires burning in five locations at the Slavneft-YANOS refinery in Yaroslavl after the 3 November strike.

A report on our deep strikes. I am grateful to every unit for their precision, and to all our Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine for the consistency of Ukraine’s long-range sanctions. The operation against Russia’s oil refining industry continues – in response to Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy facilities. Our power plants, energy grids, heating infrastructure, water supply facilities, and civilian logistics are all under constant attack by “shaheds” and missiles. The Russians are not changing the nature of their aggressive actions. They have refused to take the de-escalatory steps our partners spoke about and are counting on further strikes. We have determined our next responses. As the humanitarian operation in Oleshky has shown, if Putin makes the decision to stop the war, there can be silence. Ukraine does not need to be convinced that peace is needed as soon as possible. It is Russia that needs to decide that the time for war has run out. Our long-range sanctions, our mid-range strikes, as well as all the pressure our partners are putting on Russia over this war – these are what create an incentive for real negotiations. Thank you to everyone who is helping!

Ukrainian logistics drones now fly in groups, and enemy jamming can’t cut them off. With multi-drone control, an operator marks an area on the map and the system plots collision-free routes for the whole group. The drones take off one after another and fly autonomously without GPS. Secure communications keep them oriented under Russian electronic warfare. The operator takes manual control only in the final minutes of each mission. The 108th Assault Battalion “Da Vinci Wolves” of the 59th Assault Brigade of Unmanned Systems doubled its cargo deliveries within a month of adopting the technology. The MoD and @BRAVE1ua are now scaling it across the front. Read more: mod.gov.ua/en/news/multi-dro…

It is of course plainly absurd that a couple of White House family friends 🇺🇸 should sit down with Putin representatives🇷🇺 to discuss the security order of Europe. But that’s what has been announced. And it’s also a way of avoiding pressing Putin for a ceasefire in his war against 🇺🇦.

A few days ago, Russia killed 53 people by dropping glide bombs on an underground shelter in Komyshuvakha, Ukraine, where civilians were hiding. Dozens are still missing. And somehow, people are outraged that russian hockey players are banned from competing in Canada. Thank you, Canada!

An absolutely brilliant, and 100% accurate, distillation of Kushner's blatantly venal, self-serving and absolutely vacuous attempt at foreign policy. As if there is any other kind of attempt this horrible nepo baby is capable of.
Okay, I sat down and translated parts of yet another pompous statement from Jared Kushner about Trump’s incredible peace initiatives, explaining what his carefully worded euphemisms actually mean, so you don’t have to. “…the need for a broader European security architecture that can help establish the conditions for lasting peace…” = “Europe will have to completely capitulate to Putin, make him the master of the continent, and live under his dictates, because we’re absolutely itching to get our hands on Lukoil’s foreign assets.” “For more than 30 years, Europe and Russia have struggled to establish a sustainable security framework.” = “For decades, Europe and the entire West enjoyed peace and stability, until Putin, in his old age, suddenly got the itch to conquer Ukraine again, fucked it up spectacularly, and now somehow that’s everybody else’s problem.” “Our objective is to develop practical arrangements that address the security concerns of all sides, reduce the risk of future conflict, and create a more stable and predictable security environment.” = “You will be required to surrender everything and remain defenseless, while Putin will give you absolutely nothing in return and won’t be obliged to do a damn thing.” “Decades of mistrust, competing security concerns, and the devastating consequences of this war make this an extraordinarily difficult challenge, but one that is essential to lasting peace.” = “And we’re also going to blame you and Ukraine for Russia’s aggressive imperialism.” “Any arrangements must fully respect the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independent decision-making of every nation.” = “And Putin will decide where your sovereignty begins and ends, where your borders lie, and just how much independence you’re allowed to have.” “Each country will retain authority over its own security and alliances, and no country would have a veto over another’s sovereign choices.” = “Yes, unless Putin decides that you’re not actually a real country at all, but an inseparable part of Russia’s sphere of influence, and that your ability to defend yourself against an invasion constitutes an existential threat to Russia.” “We will consult closely with our European partners on the sidelines and, if progress is made, aim to move toward a broader multilateral format with their direct participation.” = “Nobody is going to discuss a damn thing with Ukraine or Europe. There won’t be, and never has been, anything here except our attempts to sell out and betray you to Putin for the highest possible price. And I’ll throw in a whole bunch of meaningless, boilerplate diplomatic phrases to make this bullshit look vaguely serious and respectable.” “There are no easy solutions.” = “Russia could simply get the hell out of Ukraine and stop launching wars of aggression whenever it wants, but that’s not what Putin is promising us money for.” “We will see how these discussions develop and continue working intensively with all parties toward President Trump’s objective of a comprehensive and lasting peace.” = “Of course, absolutely nothing will come of any of this, just as nothing has come of all the previous years of these ridiculous ‘negotiations,’ during which we’ve been actively helping Putin wage his war. But we couldn’t care less. That’s not what we’re here for.”
