A Russian soldier today has four ways out: death, crippling injury, capture, or desertion. That's not a figure of speech. A captain deserted and took his entire division's personnel lists with him: khodorkovsky.substack.com/p/how-putin-lo…

one of the finest movies i have ever watched ❤️‍🔥
Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦@IAPonomarenko

I remember telling you at the end of last year about the Ukrainian film U Are The Universe, which became a national sensation in cinemas here. Well, it has literally just been released on Netflix today: lnk.ua/EvnHNwn8b And if you’re interested in Ukraine (or just in genuinely good, lyrical, intimate cinema), I definitely recommend it. It’s a tragicomedy about a Ukrainian space trucker alone in deep space. At once very funny and very sad, the film is carried by a single actor, comedian and war veteran Volodymyr Kravchuk, who has an incredible amount of charisma and perfectly embodies that “simple guy from the Ukrainian countryside,” with all the distinctive accent and flavor. The visuals of space are surprisingly good (especially considering the very modest budget), the music is fantastic, and there’s a lot of Ukrainian color throughout, along with plenty of hilarious nods to famous space films. In the theater, I caught references to 2001: A Space Odyssey, Interstellar, Moon, The Martian, and possibly even Gravity. I’m telling you: I had never seen a packed theater for a Ukrainian film like that. Here in Ukraine, the theatrical run was even extended multiple times because of the unprecedented demand. And now, after Project Hail Mary, another intimate and deeply touching space story, especially a Ukrainian one, feels just right. Especially if you’re from France! On Netflix, it’s available in Ukrainian with subtitles. I hope it’s accessible in your country as well. If not, here’s a Letterboxd link: boxd.it/ChSa

Here's then EUCOM Commander General Cavoli testifying that he initially doubted the Ukrainians ability to use PATRIOT, but they have become so proficient with it that the US Army is now learning from them. 5/25

At the same time, Ukraine continues its large wave of strikes into russian refineries, oil depots and military factories (Ufa, Almetyevsk, Perm, Votkinsk, Neftegorsk, Samara, Saransk...) for the last 5 days !

The strikes on Primorsk and Ust-Luga are impressive considering ukrainian drones and modified planes (like this An-22) crossed this big distance. Some drones even fell on the baltic states, which suggest they were flying along the border.

The gas situation is not better with all major exportation pipelines currently out of use, most of them are heading to Europe Russia can now only sell oil and gas from eastern and northern terminals and pipelines, which are less numerous and developped, which means less revenues

With the war in Iran and the closure of the Hormuz Strait, the oil and gas prices have climbed. Russia was hoping to capitalize on the situation to sell more oil and gas at higher prices, in order to rebuild its finances. However, Ukraine acted to stop this.

40% of russian 🇷🇺 oil exports are currently stopped after Ukraine 🇺🇦 attacked the Primorsk, Ust-Luga and Novorossiisk crude oil ports. At the same time, the Druzhba pipeline remains closed and multiple refineries have been hit. This is a big blow to Russia. 🧵THREAD🧵1/15 ⬇️

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
We are engaging with countries in the Middle East and the Gulf, which now show a strong interest in Ukraine’s experience in defending against drones. We already see that not only “shaheds” are being used in the region, but there is also growing evidence of the use of FPV drones. This is modern warfare, and everyone must be prepared for it. Ukraine has this expertise, and in exchange for our support we need help in areas where we face greater challenges. This includes protection against ballistic threats and financial resources for defense. Ukraine offers a mutually beneficial partnership: we can strengthen those who can strengthen us. The situation in the world now is such that only coordinated and joint actions can guarantee real results and genuine security. We are being blocked in Europe, and as long as this risk remains, we must seek out additional opportunities to strengthen ourselves. The Middle East and the Gulf are the right direction and serious opportunities to make Ukraine stronger.

At this rate I am going to have to ask NATO to close the skies over Saint Petersburg. I remain a master strategist.

Ukraine has literally created its own program of missiles, short, medium and long-range drones, drone-based air defense, ground drones to replace its infantry, naval and underwater drones... from scratch over the last 4 years under the bombs That's crazy ! Thanks for following !

Not every gift is just a gift… 🇺🇦 A Ukrainian soldier hands Anthony Joshua a patch from the front line, a symbol of the brigade he served with. But it’s the look in his eyes that says everything. A man who’s seen things most of us could never imagine. Respect beyond words. 🙏

"We all understand that by its very nature, Russia is not a country that can be democratized. It was not built that way. Its foundation, its structure, and the essence of its existence — the very reason for its existence — is anti-democratic. It cannot function in any other way."

In Russia’s Leningrad region, an oil terminal has been burning for six hours after being hit by drones of the SBU’s "Alpha" Special Operations Center. The operation was carried out by SBU special forces in cooperation with the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the State Border Guard Service on the Day of the Security Service of Ukraine.

From time to time, a discussion about undocumented Russian losses in terms of equipment appears on the Internet. I may assume that all the calculations might be far from reality. I am not trying to literally guess about the percentage of undocumented losses, but I may add the most recent facts: - 2 new tanks from Spring 2022 from the Sumy direction; - 1 new tank from Spring 2022 from the Kherson direction; - 1 MTLB and 1 DT30 from Spring 2022 from Kyiv direction; - 1 BMP-3 from Spring 2022 from the Zaporizha direction Including the fact that Kyiv and Sumy areas were fully liberated and still 4 new vehicles appeared (with the help of OSINT) for the last couple of months tells a lot. I want to remind you that there were heavy fights against the Central Military District and the 2 AC in the Lugansk area during the summer of 2022, and we have only a small amount of losses being documented from those battles. Captured T-80U. Spring 2022. Sumy direction.
