Ukraine destroyed the "untouchable" targets of the Kremlin! The catastrophe has begun!

The domino effect has been set in motion. Ukraine is seizing victory and methodically destroying what is most untouchable for the Kremlin. The boomerang of retribution. The Ukrainian armed forces have sent the Russian emerald to the bottom. And Ukrainian drones flew 1,500 kilometers and incinerated Russia's last major oil refinery. Now Putin and his Russia are in an extremely difficult position. The gas station country is choking on its own oil. The Federation has not seen such a decline in refining in 20 years. Ukraine has done its part and now there is a fuel shortage, the collapse of the military economy and a failure in negotiations in the United States. How problems are overwhelming the bunker dictator and how successful our strategy of strangling the aggressor is, you'll find out right now. Greetings, this is Ukraine Today, Viktoria Perepelitsa and the latest events. The boomerang of justice works flawlessly. The Ukrainian Navy has officially confirmed the defeat of the Russian border patrol ship Izuber. And that's a golden checkmark in the statistics of enemy losses. Because it was this vessel that took part in the daring attack on Ukrainian boats in the Kerch Strait back in November 2018. Back then, the Russians still thought they could engage in maritime terrorism with impunity. I suggest we take a look at archival footage from that day. Pin him down, come on, good job. Push him from the right, push from the right. I'll catch him here. Press him, keep the wheel straight, keep the wheel. Straight ahead. Come on, come on, Fox, come on, Fox. Hold on with your left hand. Oh! Ukrainian naval sailors sank a second-rank border patrol ship using the unmanned maritime system Sarjan 3000 near Novorossiysk. There are dead and wounded among the ship's crew. Retribution is inevitable. For reference, the patrol ship Izumrud was launched in 2014. The ship was equipped with a helicopter pad. Length 62.5 meters. Displacement is approximately from 630 to 750 tons. Maximum speed up to 27 knots. Alongside clearing the sea, Ukraine is also seizing victory deep behind enemy lines. Our drones, with the support of local partisans, traveled 1,500 kilometers and struck the Gazprom-Neftekim-Salavat complex in Bashkortostan. This was the last major Russian gasoline producer that had remained intact until now. Naturally, the local authorities were quick to appear on the same local TV station. They assured that the Ukrainian attack on the Salavat oil refinery would not affect the fuel situation in any way, saying people just need to calm down and wait out the panic. Overall, we have a very balanced fuel market in the republic. These are our plants, plus we also receive supplies from other regions. Therefore, what happened today at Salavat will not affect the fuel market in the republic of Bashkortostan at all. There are still reserves, so once again I urge our residents not to worry, not to be concerned. There will be fuel. However, nothing new here. Calm down, wait it out, and get ready for lines at the gas stations. By the way, that same night strikes also hit the Efipsky oil refinery, the occupier's logistics hubs in Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as the oil transshipment base near Gelendzhik. The Efipsky oil refinery has a design capacity of about 6.25 million tons of oil per year and is one of the key oil processing enterprises. In southern Russia, it provides the production of motor fuels and components for the needs of the aggressor state. It is involved in supplying the Russian army. In addition, the ship transshipment area near Gelendzhik in the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation was also hit. This area is used for transferring Russian oil and supporting the functioning of the enemy's maritime and military logistics. Five tankers, five bulk carriers, and a harbor tug in the waters of the Sea of Azov were also hit. In addition, an enemy ammunition depot in Donetsk and a logistics hub in Luhansk were struck. To top off this nightmare, Russia is literally starting to choke on its own oil because of With Ukrainian drones having burned out the refineries, there is simply no one left in the country to process the crude oil. And selling crude oil abroad isn't working out either. According to Bloomberg, processing volumes this month have fallen to their lowest level in more than 20 years. As a result, the Kremlin's export revenues have collapsed by another 200 million dollars in just one week. It seems the raw materials empire has finally choked on its own resources. Result, Russia is being forced to increase its crude oil exports. However, they are unable to sell all the volumes. Some tankers are left idling at sea for weeks. Russian oil is accumulating off the coasts of Egypt, near Singapore and around Russia's far eastern ports, waiting for buyers or for transfer to other vessels. And this domino effect is already blowing the Kremlin's roof off. The reputable agency Bloomberg has published a scathing report on Putin's main problems. The first major issue is Ukrainian long-range drones, which can now easily reach as far as 2,500 kilometers to Omsk, throwing into panic the regions where 70% of Russia's population lives. The second problem is a severe fuel shortage. Because of our precise attacks, oil refining in Russia has dropped to a 20-year low and gasoline prices have hit the ceiling, outpacing official inflation. The third and fourth nails in the coffin of the Putin regime. These are the strangling of the economy and the complete failure of diplomacy. The Russian civilian sector is suffocating, the central bank is raising rates to the sky because of military spending, and the budget is bursting at the seams. The Kremlin's hope that Donald Trump will force Kiev to make concessions at the Anchorage summit is collapsing with a bang. Washington is now completely focused on the problems with Iran, leaving Putin alone to face his geopolitical dead end. This chaos is rapidly destroying the pseudo-empire. The Russian economy is collapsing so quickly that even Putin has stopped pretending in his speeches that everything is going according to plan. Because of the severe fuel shortage in Russia, agriculture is simply coming to a halt. Experts are sounding the alarm and predicting a real food catastrophe in the country with empty shelves. What other hell should Russians prepare for? Find out right now. The gas station country is gradually turning into a parking lot country. A gasoline shortage has already been recorded in at least 78 out of 83 regions. Over the past year, fuel prices have risen by almost 20%. At the same time, there is not enough gasoline. Gas stations are closing and huge lines are forming at those that remain open. The sharp rise in prices for diesel fuel and petroleum vitamin has put the implementation of Russia's summer road repair program at risk. Fuel problems have already started to disrupt government procurement in the regions. And this will affect the supply of medicine, education, as well as the work of the police and emergency services. The harvest campaign in the Russian Federation is also at risk due to the fuel shortage. Grain crops could simply rot in the fields. The processes that have now begun can, in some cases, be traced back to about three to four months ago, when very effective targeted strikes and sanctions started, some of the most effective ones. Ukrainian targeted sanctions against Russia's oil and gas sector. Since then, irreversible economic processes have already started in the Russian economy. They are simply irreversible now. At this stage, they can no longer be stopped, suspended or even reversed in their progress. Russian tourists in Turkey at the height of the holiday season have faced widespread blocking of transactions. This concerns bank cards using the fast payment system, which began operating in Russia in April 2026. And already at the end of June, Putin signed a law allowing banks to block clients' money transfers for up to six hours if they seem suspicious. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andriy Sebeha, at a meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, called for sanctions to be imposed against Rosatom and Roscosmos, as well as for Russian Gazprom Bank to be disconnected from the SWIFT system. This will make it possible to further restrict the operation of key sectors of the Russian economy. If we disconnect one more bank from SWIFT, and about 40 have already been disconnected, it will take Gazprom Bank approximately two hours to reroute all transactions through its correspondent bank within Russia. That's why my proposal is stronger. Let's leave it as is. One or two banks through which transactions can be processed. And let's warn them, if the Russian Federation strikes at the civilian population, then these two banks will also be disconnected from SWIFT. In other words, the inevitability of punishment and a clear understanding of what that punishment will be will have a long-term effect. On the one hand, it's operational, and on the other hand, it's strategic. The Kremlin has lost control of the situation, according to the Centers for Countering Disinformation. In Russia, the problems in the economy and the fuel shortage have reached such proportions that Putin has stopped promising Russians to solve these issues. The time of the bunker dictator is rapidly running out. Putin, in a panic, rejects any options for ending the war without political concessions, fully understanding that without them he will lose his last levers of influence. As the New York Times notes, the Kremlin blindly clings to its failed strategy, having achieved none of its stated goals. For years now, the occupiers have been hopelessly stuck on the battlefield without the slightest success or any chance of getting out of this bloody adventure. Moscow has practically nothing left. All the details are coming up next. Putin has two months left to come up with at least some kind of victory in the war against Ukraine and sell it to Russians ahead of the state Duma elections. The Independent writes about this. Otherwise, the consequences for the Kremlin could be colossal. Despite Moscow's claims of successes, the Russian army has still not achieved a decisive breakthrough at the front, while Ukraine continues to increase its strikes on the Russian rear. According to the publication, one possible response from Putin could be a partial or full mobilization. The more Ukrainian strikes succeed, the more the possible terms of a peace agreement may change. Because even the Zeed military bloggers themselves are writing that, if in the past we were presented with the opportunity to cease all hostilities along the line of contact, then tomorrow, or perhaps even already today, it is highly unlikely that anyone will ever extend such a proposal to us again. But Putin still stubbornly tries to prove that the most important thing is to take Konstantinovka. The New York Times, citing sources close to the Kremlin, writes that Putin sees the war as the main tool for pressuring Ukraine and the West. In the opinion of the Russian dictator, ending hostilities without prior concessions would supposedly deprive him of key levers of influence. In reality, with his war, Putin is putting pressure primarily on the economy and the future of Russia itself. Reuters reports that Putin's advisors have suggested he pursue peace due to mounting economic problems. However, he refused. The fuel crisis in Russia is already affecting Putin's approval rating. This is evidenced by the results of a survey conducted by the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion. Even the Kremlin-controlled VTCOM has recorded a decline in the level of trust in the Russian dictator and approval of his actions. The drop in ratings is also confirmed by a study from the Public Opinion Foundation, which is close to the government. Putin's approval rating has been falling for the second week in a row. According to the polls, one of the main sources of irritation for Russians has been the shortage of gasoline and the rising fuel prices. Every fifth respondent mentioned this. Nevertheless, analysts from the Institute for the Study of War note the fact that the state sociological service is forced to publicly acknowledge the decline in Putin's approval rating indicates a significant rise in public discontent in Russia. Meanwhile, Ukraine is building an iron shield for all of Europe. The head of the president's office, Kirill Obudanov, and European Commissioner Andrius Kubilius have already launched the process of creating a unified, ultra-powerful anti-ballistic system. At the same time, Kyiv is rapidly joining forces with France, Germany, and Italy, forming a global air defense coalition. What key role does our country play in protecting the continent from Putin's missile attacks? And how is the joint development of the latest technology progressing? Cutting-edge weaponry? All the hottest updates. Watch all the details right now in our report. Ukrainian and international manufacturers have gathered to showcase modern solutions for humanitarian demining of territories. One such development is the Ukrainian mechanized demining machine, Zermina. It was created taking into account the practical experience of operators who had worked with foreign counterparts. After a series of tests and improvements, the machine was certified and is already being used in Ukraine. The developers focused on versatility, maintainability, and the ability for rapid servicing. Maintenance. The machine is very important because it concerns the scale and speed at which our land is being cleared of threats. The second point is safety. Communication with the machine is maintained at a distance of up to 7 kilometers, even under conditions of electronic warfare. Therefore, the operator can be here while the machine works far out in the field. This is about people's safety. The farther a person is from a potential threat, the better. In addition, the speed of its maintenance is important because that's also the time specialists spend in the field. Among foreign developments is the German mechanized demining machine, GCS 200, designed for preparing and clearing areas of mines and explosive objects. This type of equipment has already been used during humanitarian demining operations in Iraq, Lebanon, Azerbaijan, as well as in the USA and Ireland. This machine has already passed testing and is being used by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine near the line of contact. In total, more than two dozen of these machines are operating in support of military units. Its main task is to thoroughly prepare and clear the soil so that after the equipment has passed, people can safely continue working in this area. Today, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is paying great attention to the development of innovations and technologies. It is precisely for this purpose that a facility has been created where all new developments can undergo practical testing and be delivered to the troops as quickly as possible. At the same time, solutions are being tested here not only for military sappers, but also for humanitarian demining operators working in deoccupied territories. According to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, as of today, more than 133,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory remain potentially contaminated with explosive objects. Thousand square kilometers of Ukrainian territory. In order for Ukrainian sappers to clear these areas, modern technologies are necessary. That is why at the specialized testing range, more than 60 samples of innovative equipment have been tested over the past year alone. Some of them are already being used by both military sappers and humanitarian demining operators. Today, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is paying great attention to the development of innovations and technologies. It is precisely for this purpose that a facility has been created where all new developments can undergo practical testing and be delivered to the troops as quickly as possible. At the same time, solutions are being tested here not only for military sappers, but also for humanitarian demining operators working in deoccupied territories. Among the developments presented are heavy demining machines, robotic systems, drones, sensor systems, and personal protective equipment for sappers. Special attention was given by the organizers to Ukrainian technologies, which have been created and improved under the conditions of full-scale war. I believe that Ukraine is now at the forefront of developing new technologies for humanitarian demining. The focus is on innovations that enhance the safety, speed, and quality of clearing territories. Here this is being developed every day. We constantly see the results of this work, and Ukrainian specialists demonstrate the ability to quickly adapt new solutions to real challenges. Among the participants is veteran Maxim Dobriansky. While carrying out a combat mission, he was leading his group to their positions at night and stepped on a Russian anti-personnel mine. After suffering a severe injury and having his legs amputated, the man decided not to stand aside and found his calling in the field of humanitarian demining. Now I work as a specialist in non-technical survey of territories and in informing the public about the risks associated with mines and explosive objects. This is very important work because today an area may be safe, but tomorrow explosive objects could already be present there. Experts are convinced the development of technology can not only speed up the clearance of Ukrainian land, but also create a new sector of the economy. In the specific context of the most extensive and severe landmine contamination crisis in all of Europe, Ukraine is already actively gathering a wealth of unparalleled and unique expertise that may be highly sought after and critically needed well beyond its own national geographical borders in the foreseeable future.
