First stop, Mars. Next stop, Psyche 📍 On May 15, our Psyche spacecraft swung by Mars on its way to its next destination: a metal-rich asteroid also named Psyche. The Red Planet gave the spacecraft a 1,000-mph speed boost and provided some stunning photos as well!

Ukrainian long-range drones are now being fitted with unguided aerial rockets 🔥🔥🔥

Ukrainian unmanned systems reached another critical refinery linked to Russia’s military-industrial supply chain. @1usc_army and @Raid_413, alongside @ServiceSsu carried out strikes on the Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez refinery in Kstovo. The facility is one of Russia’s key oil refineries, producing more than 50 types of petroleum products, including motor gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, and petrochemical components. Following the strike, explosions and a fire were reported. 📹: @usf_army

I held a Staff meeting. We analyzed in detail the available data from our intelligence agencies on Russia’s planning of offensive operations in the Chernihiv-Kyiv direction. We are preparing responses to every possible course of enemy action – if the Russians do indeed dare to expand their aggression. Our forces in this sector will be increased. We are also reviewing the possibilities of our external activity – I instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to prepare additional measures of diplomatic influence regarding Belarus, which Russia may use for such an expansion of the war. Relevant non-public tasks have also been assigned to Ukrainian intelligence services. As for the Russian directions, we are preparing to expand the reach of our long-range sanctions, which have already proven themselves very effective, and to more tangibly compel Russia to reduce its aggression. We also took note of information about Russia’s preparations for new mobilization steps – plus 100,000 people. We believe that, as of today, Russia lacks such potential for covert mobilization, so we should expect Russian political decisions of another format, including those like the recent one regarding the Transnistrian region of Moldova. Ukraine will certainly defend itself, and right now our task is to strengthen our state so that none of Russia’s five scenarios for expanding the war through northern Ukraine succeeds. I thank everyone who is helping!

Humanitarian mine clearance units have received a new batch of twenty Canadian Roshel Senator MRAP armored vehicles. The vehicles were delivered as part of a cooperation with the Demining Capability Coalition. mod.gov.ua/en/news/canadi…

Drones are becoming one of the most important tools in Ukraine’s mine clearance operations. MoD specialists are now training to use UAVs equipped with advanced magnetometers that can detect hidden metal objects and explosive hazards from the air — making demining safer, faster, and more effective. mod.gov.ua/en/news/drones…

The mathematics of war: insights from the Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces.

This month saw changes in the dynamics on the frontline in Ukraine’s favor. We are holding more positions and inflicting more damage. The impact of our long-range sanctions against Russia has been especially significant. Today, I approved our long-range action plans for June.
