Meanwhile, Russian tankers loaded with oil are twiddling their thumbs.
While Ukraine targets oil tankers, Russia targets ships carrying food.

Russia is intentionally targeting agricultural civilian ships coming in and out of Odesa Area Ports. These strikes are happening while ships are in transit and this is NOT collateral damage. This is an escalation in target choice by Russia. ⬇️

In the past Russia would target port infrastructure where civilian ships were alongside and the ships would receive collateral damage. These attacks are different and are intended to cause disruptions to shipping. AT NO TIME HAS UKRAINE EVER TARGETED CIVILIAN AGRICULTURE SHIPS.
An aircraft manufacturing plant in Taganrog was also struck and set on fire.
It is currently one of the important components of Russia’s military-industrial complex. The facility also manufactures components for combat drones, control systems, and electronic warfare systems.
Russian-occupied Mariupol is in the dark.
Lots of bavovna.

Russia attacked a delivery facility in Kharkiv and killed four employees.
The Saratov region went belly up and needed a bailout from the already cash-strapped Kremlin. This region is southeast of Moscow and borders Kazakhstan.

🇷🇺💥 Saratov just declared default on state TV because they lost 12.5 billion rubles in 2025—Kremlin had to forgive their debts, but that won't fix a thing. The federal budget is in trillions of ruble deficits, and it's all thanks to their failed "special military operation."

Another 950 Russians plus three tanks and almost a thousand drones.
If these numbers are correct, this would be an average of almost 700 dead per day, which would mean far more Russians are killed than wounded, which is opposite the usual formula.
x
🇺🇦Rutte: Let’s not forget that, at the moment, Russians are losing massive numbers of soldiers due to Ukrainian defense.
In a single month, this amounts to 20,000 to 25,000 Russian soldiers killed. I am not talking about those seriously wounded, but about those killed—dead—20,000 to 25,000 a month.

1/ Ukrainians are said to be funding their war effort by systematically fleecing billions from Russian citizens and businesses through online and phone scams. It's a hidden front of a hybrid war that employs both kinetic means on the battlefield and hacking on the home front. ⬇️

2/ The Russian Telegram channel 'Veterans' Notes' comments that "a full-scale, quiet, and extremely profitable campaign for the enemy has unfolded in the [Russian] rear."
3/ "The scale of financial losses to citizens and the economy from fraudsters has reached the level of a serious threat to national security in the context of the Special Military Operation. This is no longer an epidemic; it is now a way of life.
…..
6/ "According to Sberbank estimates, fraudsters stole more than 250 billion rubles [$3.18 billion] from Russians in 2023, and 2025 will be a phenomenal year – fraudsters stole a record 340-350 billion rubles [$4.33-$4.39 billion] from Russians!
7/ "The overwhelming majority of citizens—94-96%—have encountered fraudulent attempts in the past year.Ukrainian call centres constitute a separate, highly organized front in the hybrid war. Their "offices" operate systematically throughout Ukraine.
8/ "In 2024, 27.5 billion rubles [$350 million] were stolen through them alone—a record in the Central Bank's history of monitoring. They make 10-15 million calls to Russia daily.
Maybe if they weren’t using them all in Ukraine.
