Why this strike is so significant: ◾️ Primorsk port is Russia’s largest oil-loading port on the Baltic Sea. It is the terminal point of the Baltic Pipeline System (BPS) and plays a key role in exporting Urals crude. The port is a critically important piece of infrastructure, handling around 60 million tons of oil per year. ◾️ Primorsk is Russia’s "cash tap" on the Baltic Sea. Oil revenues help sustain the war against Ukraine and fund the killing of Ukrainians. Every day of downtime means millions of dollars in lost tax revenue for the Russian budget, which finances the army. ◾️ After such attacks, international insurance companies sharply increase premiums for tankers calling at Russian ports, making Russian oil less profitable. ◾️ Primorsk is the endpoint of the Baltic Pipeline System (BPS). If the terminal cannot receive oil, there is nowhere for it to go: oil rigs in Siberia cannot simply be shut down without risking long-term damage. This forces Russian companies to cut production or urgently seek alternative routes. ◾️ To protect such large facilities, Russia has to redeploy scarce air defense systems (such as Pantsir and S-400) from the front deep into the rear (including Russia's Leningrad region). ◾️ Oil terminals rely on complex Western equipment (pumps, control systems, fire suppression systems). Due to sanctions, replacing damaged components is extremely difficult and costly. Repairs can take months, reducing overall export efficiency. Strikes on targets more than 1,000 km from the border demonstrate that there are no longer any safe zones for military or strategic infrastructure inside Russia. ◾️ The shadow fleet of tankers transporting Russian oil is becoming increasingly wary of operating in such areas, complicating Russia’s efforts to circumvent oil sanctions. 📹: Current Time

Who's gonna dig these graves...

Sergey Kiriyenko, the first deputy chief of the Russian presidential administration, visited the Ukrainian city of Myrnohrad, destroyed by Russia, where around 50,000 people lived before the war and only about a thousand remain today. The ruined city and its surviving residents are being used as part of a Russian political propaganda campaign. There have been persistent rumors that Kiriyenko is one of the possible successors to Putin. Since May 2022, Kiriyenko has been managing almost all aspects of the forced integration of occupied Ukrainian territories into Russia’s "legal framework," coordinating the activities of occupation administrations.

open.spotify.com/episode/1vFSSO… Ich bin noch am Hören dieser Folge @RusslandWatcher, aber da @SchaakStefan sich in der ersten halben Stunde so schön als Militäranalyst austobt, möchte ich euch die Podcastfolge so schnell wie möglich ans Herz legen. @MRatzow + #uweklemm sind auch dabei/Ch

Российские военкоры: "Купянск полностью занят ВСУ. Парни из ЦРБ погибли. Все." Путин: "События, которые произошли в Купянске, будут повторяться и на других участках фронта. И в целом нас это устраивает". "Жизнь тяжела, но если ты тупой, - она гораздо тяжелее." /М.Крайтон/

Глава ФСБ Бортников поделился страшной новостью: оказывается, сейчас Россией во многом управляют украинские и британские спецслужбы. Скажите, а вот Путин - он агент которой из этих спецслужб?

Ka-52 was downed by a fiber-optic FPV drone after about 1.5 months of tracking its routes, says “Predators of Heights” battalion commander Maksym Bohachuk. He says they had dozens of tries, missed one chopper by 2 meters, then caught the next one head-on.

The true test to tell the good Russians from the rest is asking if they believe Ukraine should be allowed to strike Russian territory. Boris Akunin, the Russian writer, passed it with flying colors. 📹 Katerina Gordeeva

“Where is freedom? I don’t understand those who still call themselves free.” Looks like young Russians are beginning to suspect something… 😏

Air alerts are up right now across parts of Russia, with air defenses working in the Moscow region. Reports say new drone groups are coming in via Bryansk and pushing deeper into Russia.

Another angle of the Russian Kamov Ka-52 chopper which got shot down by a drone. He was clearly on an attack run like his wingman who shot unguided rockets right before the encounter with the FPV drone. His payload wasn’t delivered.

❗️Soon, virtually any holder of a Russian passport abroad could become a pretext for Russian military intervention. The EU should sharply restrict entry for Russian citizens. This is no longer about comfort or "openness" - it is a matter of security. The formula should be simple: minimal entry by default, maximum checks, and exceptions only for genuinely justified humanitarian and family cases. This is not "Russophobia," but basic self-defense. The Russian government has officially submitted draft law No. 1181659-8 to the State Duma, allowing the extraterritorial use of the Russian Armed Forces by presidential decision to "protect" Russians detained, held, or prosecuted abroad under decisions of foreign or international courts whose jurisdiction Moscow does not recognize. This is groundwork for a pretext. Russia’s draft law should not be read as concern for "its people" but as an attempt to pre-legitimize the use of force abroad. The Kremlin is systematically building a legal construct: ◾️ first - rejecting the jurisdiction of foreign and international courts (December 2025); ◾️ then - banning the extradition of those who fought for Russia (March 2026); ◾️ now - a separate provision allowing the use of the military to "protect" detained Russians abroad. Among the most notable current cases are Butyagin (now in Poland) and Torden (in Finland). For the Kremlin, almost anyone could become a future "rescue" target (they may also draw inspiration from the Maduro precedent), especially if their case is useful for propaganda. The core objective is to frame virtually anything as an "attack on Russia." If a Russian citizen is detained by a European state for any reason - war crimes, occupation-related activities, sabotage, or cooperation with proxy networks - the Kremlin seeks to portray this not as law enforcement, but as the "persecution of Russian citizens." This is the key mechanism: to turn a criminal arrest into a political incident, and a political incident into grounds for escalation. The danger is that the material for such cases already exists in Europe. Russian nationals linked to Wagner, proxy structures, sabotage activities, recruitment, and covert operations are already present across Europe. Some are already involved in investigations and court cases. Others may be used in future provocations. This means the Kremlin does not even need to wait for an accidental incident - potential figures who can later be framed as "victims of persecution" already exist. The scheme is simple and dangerous: first - a provocation, sabotage, or other subversive act; then - the arrest of the operative in Europe; followed by a media campaign about a "hunt for Russians"; and finally - invoking the new legal provision as grounds for "protection." This is how not a diplomatic dispute, but a controlled pretext for special operations, abductions, coercive pressure, or broader escalation is created. The conclusion is stark: this draft law is not about protecting citizens - it is about instrumentalizing them. The Kremlin wants any arrest of a Russian abroad - whether an archaeologist, militant, saboteur, recruiter, mercenary, or simply a Russian citizen dissatisfied with European laws - to be repackaged, when needed, into a casus belli.

Russia's main TV channel is airing songs about how great life is without the internet. Getting even closer to North Korea.

🇷🇺 Elvira Nabiullina leitet die Zentralbank von Ruzzland und ihr Wort hat Gewicht, weil sie oft diejenige ist, die die Euphoriebremse zieht. Während viele glauben, dass die Krisen im Nahen Osten ein reiner Segen für das Land sind, warnt sie davor, sich von den hohen Ölpreisen blenden zu lassen. Klar, wenn es dort brennt, schießt der Ölpreis nach oben und bringt kurzfristig ordentlich Geld in die ruzzische Staatskasse. Das stützt den Rubel und sieht auf dem Papier erst mal super aus. Wenn Energie weltweit dauerhaft teurer wird, bremst das die gesamte Weltwirtschaft aus. Die Leute konsumieren weniger, Firmen produzieren weniger und am Ende sinkt die Nachfrage nach Rohstoffen wieder. Dazu kommen die kaputten Lieferketten. Wenn Handelswege unsicher werden, kommen wichtige Waren und Bauteile nicht mehr an, was die Preise in Ruzzland noch weiter nach oben treibt. Für die Menschen im Land bedeutet das trotz der Ölmilliarden nichts Gutes. Wenn die Preise im Supermarkt schneller steigen, als das Öl Geld einbringt, heizt das die Inflation nur noch weiter an. Nabiullina macht damit eigentlich klar: Ein hoher Ölpreis ist kein Allheilmittel, wenn gleichzeitig die Zinsen extrem hoch bleiben müssen und die Industrie mit gestörten Handelswegen kämpft. Am Ende zeigt ihre Analyse, dass man sich in einer vernetzten Welt nicht einfach an einer Krise gesundstoßen kann, ohne selbst einen hohen Preis dafür zu zahlen. #Nabiullina #Russland #Wirtschaft #Ölpreis #Inflation #Zentralbank #Weltwirtschaft #Finanzen #Analyse

"The officer said he was astonished to hear reports of Gulf states firing as many as eight Patriot interceptor missiles (each worth more than $3 million) at a single target, even using the expensive systems to hit cheap drones." Wenn man natürlich Patriot gegen Shahed einsetzt, dann ist einem nicht zu helfen.
