Ukrainian drones over Leningrad, hitting targets at Ust-Luga again.
These attacks have been so frequent at all hours lately, it's honestly hard to differentiate them... but the impact is significant, both to Russia's exports and to their morale. Citizens in St.P. report the constant sound of drones, the stench of the fouled air, etc.
More oil and gas facilities are being knocked out, ships are being targeted - the Baltic Fleet is the new Black Sea Fleet - tankers damaged & fleeing...
The Ukrainian 1st Separate Center of the Unmanned System Forces target operators of Russian Geran-2 (Shahed) UAVs during their launch from the Donetsk airport.
Should be mentioned: This is a LONG way for Ukrainian drones to fly for missions where drones are being steered right on to targets.
Secondly, these are high value targets, with specialized trucks used as drone launchers, which also amount in the detonation of the targeted drone and the death of the driver. Killing these teams are vital!
Russian "officer at the front line" is frustrated that while NASA goes back to the moon, his unit is fighting for a piece of the DPR for five years...
Threatens to order his whole battalion to surrender.
Smart Russian leader! I wonder whether they have high balconies near the front line though...

I can't believe that a prominent Russian milblogger had an unfortunate accident. Like, what are the odds of a Russian getting wounded in Ukraine and not surviving?!
Oh wait. The odds are basically 50%, and I've mentioned how bad the odds are for a long time. Oh well...
Kyiv Independent hired an online investigative group to get the info on the previously anonymous people who do the Russians With Attitude podcast, geared heavily towards US rightwingers.
Turns out one of them, Kirill Kamenetsky, is a Russian publicist and far-right activist who lived in Germany before moving back to Russia, where he does the show. (i.e. Not in the US, as implied.)
Oh, and he's a fan of a neo-nazi band specifically flagged by the ADL.

So, you know how I was saying that Russian farmers report a shortage of nitrogen-based fertilizers and the name of a Ukrainian attack mission suggested that Ukraine might be trying to destroy Russia's sources of nitrates for both fertilizer and explosives?
This is the plant of JSC "Mineral Fertilizers" in Rososh. It produces nitrates for explosives to a significant degree...
Ukraine seems to be taking advantage of the war with Iran to force Russia to make some hard choices.
Russian refinery at Primorsk attacked again...
Will Ukraine stop destroying Russian oil, despite the fact that it further undermines Trump?!
No. I don't think so.
