Several Russian regions are facing fuel shortages at gas stations. Local authorities give different reasons for the shortage: from the summer holiday season to road repairs or repairs to oil refineries (refineries). Image

Experts do not rule out new interruptions in the supply of gasoline and rising prices in the regions. The situation may return to normal by the end of September, when the refineries will complete their unscheduled repairs.

The head of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksenov called them "interruptions in certain types of fuel" and explained it with logistical difficulties. "The issue concerns logistics. A significant part of the fuel is delivered (to Crimea. - "NG") by road... Image

I ask both Crimeans and guests of the peninsula to understand this situation. This is an objective situation, which may still last for a maximum of a month, " he said. Image

The official also noted that last year, during the resort season, the republic sold 700 tons of gasoline per day, while this year it has already sold 1,100 tons.

Ukraine has turned the Black Sea into a no-go zone for Russia's mighty fleet, effectively "sinking" the $5 billion upgraded Admiral Nakhimov nuclear cruiser without ever launching a missile! 🇺🇦 Image
2/6
💥 This Cold War giant—packed with hypersonic Zircon missiles, massive launchers, and nuclear power—was meant to dominate, but Ukraine's cheap, deadly naval drones have bottled up the entire Russian Black Sea Fleet in port.

Surface and underwater drones create constant terror, making even this beast too risky to deploy. Despite billions spent on modernization and recent sea trials, the Nakhimov sits as a floating liability—vulnerable to swarms that evade defenses and strike with precision. Image

Ukrainian assault troops launched an operation against a Russian dugout near Stepove, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

At first, the occupiers inside the position refused to surrender and opened fire, apparently confident their hole in the ground would solve the problem.
2/
Ukrainian fighters then began what could politely be called “a more persuasive round of negotiations.”

Those negotiations included:

▪️ Hand grenades delivered directly to the dugout
▪️ FPV kamikaze drone strikes
▪️ A TM‑62 anti‑tank mine dropped from a drone for good measure
3/
After hearing these arguments repeatedly, the Russian soldiers suddenly discovered a deep interest in surrendering.

Amazing how diplomacy works when the discussion becomes… explosive.

News from Hungary. Russian secret services (GRU and SVR) are here to influence elections for Orbán. And the are invited...

Russian intelligence agents have arrived in Budapest with the aim of influencing the elections.

In my post a week ago, I cited last year's Moldovan elections as an example of false flag operations aimed at influencing domestic elections, the results of which Russian intelligence services attempted to sway in their favor as part of a complex strategy.

The post was illustrated with an organizational chart prepared by the Moldovan secret service about the Russian secret service operation. The purpose of the article was to describe the operational patterns that could be used to model the interventions expected in Hungary.

Tetiana Khimion, 47
Khimion had practiced ballroom dancing since the age of 6. She became an international-level judge and taught children at her studio in the city of Sloviansk in the Donetsk region. Competitions, not conflict, shaped her routine. Image

“We believed that the world was beautiful and kind,” she said.

Now she is a sniper in the Ukrainian army. Her white-blond curls spilled over an olive-green jacket as she posed in a forest on the outskirts of Kyiv.

Her husband had enlisted right away and urged her to delay making the same decision, “but once I decide something, it’s very hard to turn me from that path.”

She trained in Europe and moved among several units before reaching a combat position.

Do you know where the last phone call Epstein had in prison came from before he was found dead in his cell? The call was from Belarus. I may even know the exact address from which the call was made. Image
2/
At the moment, this is exclusive information. Unfortunately, there are no independent journalists left in Belarus who could investigate this matter more deeply on the ground. But perhaps someone, using OSINT tools, will be able to uncover more.
3/
The importance of Karina Shulyak in Epstein’s life—beyond the fact that she was the person he had his last conversation with—is evidenced by the fact that he planned to leave her 50 million dollars, ten times more than he intended for Ghislaine Maxwell.

Russian forces in Kupiansk made two attempts to attack through the oil pipeline to reach blocked units—a tactic that had previously allowed them to sneak into the city unnoticed. Both attempts were completely thwarted. Image

Near Dvorichna, 50-60 Russian soldiers crawled through a gas pipeline. Ukrainian drones spotted them very early on. Local commanders requested live television coverage, tracking their escape and firing artillery directly from the point of departure.
3/5
All the fugitives were pursued by FPV drones. None of them survived.

South of Kupiansk, another 40 soldiers attempted to escape through two different oil pipelines. Drones equipped with infrared cameras tracked each fugitive. All of them were killed.
