TOTAL DEFEAT of the Russian army! Putin humiliated: Ukraine has opened a new front!

The new season of naval battles has begun. This was officially announced by the commander of Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert Madyar. Brovdi. The Sea of Azov is already closed. 116 Russian vessels have been sent to the bottom there. And so, symbolically on the day of Ukrainian statehood, our drones opened the score in the Black Sea by wiping out 20 vessels of Putin's shadow fleet at once, including 17 oil tankers and gas carriers. But while the aggressor's ships are burning on the water, the real catastrophe for the Kremlin is unfolding deep on land, where Ukraine has created total chaos, forcing Putin's Russia, drowning in its own oil, to stand in lines for gasoline. And that's far from everything the Federation is suffering from right now. The domino effect has been set in motion, Ukraine is seizing victory and methodically destroying what was once most untouchable for the Kremlin. The boomerang of retribution, the Ukrainian armed forces sent the Russian emerald to the bottom and Ukrainian drones flew 1,500 kilometers to burn down 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 hasn't seen such a decline in refining in 20 years. Ukraine made it happen and now, fuel shortages, the collapse of the war economy and the failure of negotiations in the United States. How are problems overwhelming the bunker dictator and how successful is our tactic? The strangulation of the aggressor, you'll find out right now. Hello, this is Ukraine Today. I'm Deryna Hotsakalo and here are the latest events. The boomerang of justice is working flawlessly. The naval forces of Ukraine have officially confirmed the strike on the Russian border patrol ship Izumrud. And that's a golden checkmark in the statistics of enemy losses. Because it was this very ship that took part in the brazen 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. Lower it. Come on. Good job. Push him on the right. Push on the right. Push. I'll catch him here. Press him. Keep the wheels straight. Come on. Dammit. Portside. But today, our military has proven that the boomerang always comes back. Ukrainian naval forces sank a second-rank border patrol ship near Novorossiysk using the unmanned maritime system Sargon 3000. There are dead and wounded among the ship's crew. Retribution is inevitable. For reference, the PSKR Izumrud was launched in 2014. The ship was equipped with a helicopter pad. 62.5 meters. Displacement is approximately between 630 and 750 tons. Maximum speed up to 27 knots. At the same time as clearing the sea, Ukraine is seizing victory deep in the enemy's rear. Our drones, with the support of local partisans, traveled one and a half thousand kilometers and struck the complex Gazprom Neftekim Salavat in Bashkortostan. This was the last major Russian gasoline producer that had remained intact until now. Of course, the local authorities were quick to announce on local TV that the Ukrainian attack on the refinery in Salavat would not affect the fuel situation in any way. They said people just need to calm down and wait out the panic. In our republic, we have a very balanced fuel market. These are our own plants, plus we also receive supplies from other regions. Therefore, what is happening today at Savaki does not affect the fuel market of the Republic of Bashkortostan at all. There are still reserves. So once again, I urge our residents not to worry, not to be anxious. There will be fuel. However, nothing new. Calm down, wait it out and get ready to stand in line for gasoline. By the way, that same night strikes also hit the Afipsky oil refinery, the occupiers' logistics hubs in Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as the oil transshipment base near Gelendzhik. The Afipsky oil refinery has a design capacity of about 6.25 million tons of oil per year. It is one of the key oil refining enterprises in southern Russia, providing 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 was hit. This area is used for the transshipment of Russian oil and to ensure the functioning of the enemy's maritime and military logistics. Five tankers, five dry cargo ships and a harbor tug were also hit in the waters of the Sea of Azov. In addition, an enemy ammunition depot in Donetsk and a logistics hub in Luhansk were hit. On top of all this horror, Russia is literally starting to choke on its own oil because of refineries burned by Ukrainian drones. There is simply no one left in the country to process the raw materials and they can't manage to sell crude oil abroad. 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 in just one week. It seems the raw materials empire has finally choked on its own sludge. As a result, Russia is forced to increase its crude oil exports, but it is unable to sell all of its volumes. Some tankers are left idling at sea for weeks. Russian oil is piling up off the coasts of Egypt near Singapore and around Russia's far eastern ports, waiting for buyers or to be transferred to other vessels. And this domino effect is already driving the Kremlin crazy. The reputable agency Bloomberg has published a scathing report on Putin's five main problems. The first and main problem is Ukrainian long-range drones, which can now easily reach as far as Omsk, 2,500 kilometers away. This is throwing into panic the regions where 70% of Russia's population lives. The second problem is a severe fuel shortage. Because of our precision attacks, oil refining in Russia has dropped to a 20-year low and gasoline prices have skyrocketed, outpacing official inflation. The third and fourth nails in the coffin, the coffin of Putin's regime, is the strangulation of the economy and the complete failure of diplomacy. The Russian civilian sector is suffocating, the Central Bank is raising rates to the stratosphere because of military spending, and the budget is bursting at the seams. The Kremlin's hopes that Donald Trump would force Kiev to make concessions at the Anchorage Summit have completely collapsed. Washington has now completely shifted its focus to the problems with Iran, leaving Putin alone with his geopolitical dead-end. The end of the war is closer than ever. Our forces are finally pressing Putin's Russia to the limit. Kirill Budanov's bold statement about the fighting ending this year is finding real confirmation right now. Our focus on the total destruction of enemy logistics and our own long-range drones, which are scorching Russian rear positions, have finally broken the Kremlin's strategy. Western analysts and global media are now openly burying Putin's ambitions. No one believes in Moscow's victory anymore. How Ukrainian weaponry is irreversibly changing the rules of the game and bringing the final defeat of the empire closer, watch right now in our report. Has the war already started moving toward its finale? A statement by Kirill Budanov has sparked discussions about what until recently seemed unattainable. There are real chances for the war to end as early as this year. According to the head of the president's office, such chances do exist. And although the world is now witnessing a new round of escalation, it is this very escalation that could become the precondition for future de-escalation and the return to negotiations. It sounds paradoxical, but history has proven this in wars more than once. Very often, the sides only start seeking compromises after they realize that achieving their goals by force is impossible. And it seems that this logic is well understood in Kyiv. While the Kremlin continues to speak in the language of ultimatums, Ukraine is building up what is increasingly being called its main trump card. Namely, the production of long-range strike weapons. Budanov openly admitted that the scale of Ukrainian production has already reached a And this means that the war is becoming increasingly costly for Moscow. Not only at the front, but also deep in the rear. It is precisely here that the scenario begins to take shape, the one military analysts are talking about more and more often. While the Russian army is trying to advance, Ukraine is striking at what no army in the world can function without. At logistics, depots, routes, supplies, fuel infrastructure and transport hubs. The task is simple, to make supplying the front so complicated and costly that every new offensive turns into an exhausting gamble for the Kremlin. The very factors that Moscow considered secondary just yesterday may now determine the outcome of the war. While Russian propaganda counts square kilometers on the map, the Ukrainian strategy is increasingly focused on depleting the enemy's resources. And if this trend continues, the moment when the Kremlin itself will be forced to seriously consider dialogue may come much sooner than many expect. Therefore, the main question now is, what will become the real path to peace? In Kiev, they make it clear, not through concessions and not by freezing the problem, but by creating conditions under which continuing the war will become too costly and futile for Russia. And if Budanov's assessments prove accurate, then the first real outlines of future peace may appear precisely after the Kremlin is finally convinced that time is no longer on its side. The inevitable defeat of Russia is being discussed even outside of Ukraine. The influential Western publication Bloomberg essentially acknowledges that the prospect of Russia winning the war against Ukraine no longer appears realistic. And this is no longer the assessment of Ukrainian officials or military experts from Kiev. Such signals are increasingly coming from leading global analytical centers where they closely monitor developments at the front, and also keep an eye on the state of the Russian economy. Just a few years ago, the Kremlin was counting on a completely different scenario. But today, even Western observers are noting that the latest major Russian offensive has essentially stalled, and the cost of every new kilometer of the front for Moscow continues to rise sharply. Human losses, production problems, labor shortages, and mounting pressure on the economy are creating a situation for the Kremlin that is already difficult to conceal, even behind the loudest propaganda slogans. Moreover, Ukrainian drones and missiles are increasingly reaching oil refineries, energy hubs, logistics centers, and military enterprises deep inside Russia itself. What was once considered an inviolable rear is gradually turning into a territory of constant risks. And it is precisely this, according to many analysts, that makes continuing the war much more costly for the Kremlin than before. Around the world, people are increasingly talking not about whether Russia can win, but about how and when it will be forced to agree to a cessation of hostilities. Such a shift in rhetoric says a lot. And if earlier the discussions revolved around the possible success of the Russian offensive, now more and more attention is being paid to other scenarios. Attention is being focused on scenarios of a truce and finding a way out of the war. Moreover, in the West, they are now openly discussing not only new aid packages for Ukraine, but also long-term solutions that could ultimately change the balance of power. Among them are strengthening sanctions, increasing the supply of long-range weapons, new air defense systems, and even the possibility of producing certain defense systems. Directly in Ukraine. In other words, partners are increasingly preparing not for a compromise on the Kremlin's terms, but for a scenario in which Russia will have to accept new rules of the game. The situation looks extremely unpleasant for Moscow. The war that the Kremlin planned to finish in a matter of days has gradually turned into a grueling conflict, where time, resources, and international support are not working in Russia's favor. That is why more and more experts around the world are suggesting that the moment when the Kremlin's defeat becomes obvious to everyone may be much closer than it seems today. And for Russia, this means only one thing. The room for maneuver continues to shrink rapidly. Ukraine is breaking through the enemy's rear for thousands of kilometers, and it is precisely our devastating strikes deep behind enemy lines that prove this best. Zelensky is already announcing a scenario that is sending the Kremlin into a frenzy. Thousands of Ukrainian drones in the sky over Moscow. Air raid sirens are sounding for the first time in distant Siberia, and the myth of a How Ukraine is methodically taking the war thousands of kilometers away from the front and finally crippling Putin's logistics. All the hottest details, watch right now. A thousand drones on Moscow? This is a verdict for the Russian Federation. Volodymyr Zelensky voiced a scenario that the Kremlin would prefer never to discuss. According to the President of Ukraine, this is Putin's moment of truth. It will come when massive drone attacks stop being isolated incidents and become the new reality for the Russian capital. Zelensky is convinced that the decisive factor will be not only the military, but also the psychological effect. When not just hundreds, but thousands of drones appear over Moscow at the same time, the Kremlin will have to see the war not through officials' reports, but through their own windows. And then Putin's closest circle will start advising him to look for a quieter place, a place to work somewhere far beyond the Urals. And here an uncomfortable question arises for the Russian authorities. If the special operation is going according to plan, then why do they have to think more and more not about new offensives, but about evacuating the most important sites and defending their own capital? It seems that the war, which the Kremlin planned to keep as far away as possible from ordinary Russians, is gradually coming home. And what's next? Putin away from Moscow? According to Kiev's assessment, the moment is getting closer when the dictator will have to reconsider his entire war strategy. Meanwhile, Russia is burning farther and farther from the front line. The Novosibirsk region, which for years in Russia was considered almost unreachable by the war, has for the first time declared an air raid alert due to the threat of drone attacks. Such a warning has become an alarming signal for the Russian security system. After all, not so long ago, residents of Siberia were told that the fighting was happening somewhere very far away. But now the word alert is being heard more and more often, even thousands of kilometers from the front. Novosibirsk is not just a big city. It is one of the main industrial centers of Russia, where hundreds of enterprises in the defense, aviation, engineering and energy sectors are concentrated. It is here that the Chkalov aviation plant operates, which participates in the production of Su-34 frontline bombers, as well as dozens of other strategically important enterprises, without which the Russian military-industrial complex does not feel comfortable. The geography of concern in Russia continues to expand rapidly. If earlier the Kremlin assured citizens that the danger concerned only the border regions, now even Siberian regions have to consider that distance no longer guarantees safety. And this is exactly the scenario that has been increasingly discussed in Kiev lately. The war is gradually reaching places where no one expected to see it. And while Russian officials report successful defenses, Ukraine continues its campaign against the oil infrastructure of the aggressor country, step by step. In recent months, 9 out of Russia's 10 largest oil refineries have already come under attack. The strike on the Omsk oil refinery, the largest oil processing facility in Russia, caused particular resonance. It is more than 2,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. This means that the drones covered a distance that until recently was considered fantastical even by many military experts. If people used to feel absolutely safe beyond the Urals, now the very geography of the war is beginning to change for Russia, right before our eyes. The Omsk oil refinery was considered one of the main elements of Russia's fuel system. It was precisely this refinery that was relied upon to mitigate the effects of the fuel crisis, which is becoming increasingly apparent after a series of attacks on the oil refining industry. In addition, the facility is critically important for further oil processing and for ensuring the operation of other production chains. It is also symbolic that until recently, the Omsk refinery remained one of the few large oil refineries in Russia that had never suffered any damage. Now that list has become even shorter. And while Moscow is trying to explain why air raid sirens are now sounding even beyond the Urals, good old Belgorod has also come under attack. Drones struck the Belgorod Linear Production Department of main gas pipelines as well as infrastructure facilities in the region. The Belgorod International Airport and energy facilities were also hit. And although the Russian authorities traditionally try to downplay the significance of such events, the trend itself is quite telling. Not only military targets, but also the hubs that ensure the functioning of logistics, energy, and the transport system in the border regions are coming under increasing pressure. Belgorod region has long ceased to be a safe rear area for the Kremlin. What was once considered a reliable staging ground for supplying Russian troops has now turned into a territory of constant tension. Air raid alerts, the operation of air defense systems, and restrictions on infrastructure operations. All of this is becoming the new everyday reality for the region. And while Russian propaganda continues to paint a picture of an absolutely protected Russia, the map itself, it seems, is changing right before our eyes. From Belgorod to Omsk, more and more strategic facilities are being forced to think not about development or modernization, but about their own survival. And this is already a completely different reality than the one the Kremlin promised its citizens at the beginning of the war. Meanwhile, the Kremlin's reality has become a living hell. While Putin draws paper victories, his army is losing the front for good. Against the backdrop of the exhaustion of Russia's offensive potential and our complete triumph in the Black Sea, enemy logistics are bursting at the seams. Under the strikes of Ukrainian drones, June has been catastrophic for the occupiers, and the myth of Russian superiority has been finally buried. See exactly how the armed forces of Ukraine are knocking the last trump cards out of the dictator's hands right now. While Russian propaganda paints yet another victory, the Ukrainian armed forces have quietly and without unnecessary noise caused a real collapse of the front for the occupiers. On one of the sectors. In just a month and a half, Ukrainian forces have regained control over dozens of square kilometers of territory that had been considered Russian rear for over a year. And most interestingly, this failure is so painful, the Russians are trying to hide it at any cost. According to preliminary estimates, we are talking about at least 50 square kilometers of liberated land. And certain hints from analysts suggest that the numbers could be even higher. To put it into perspective, if this data is confirmed for the first time in a long while, Ukraine could have a positive balance of liberated territories in just one month. And this is already a serious signal to everyone who was quick to write off Ukraine's offensive potential. The enemy's reaction is especially telling. Throughout June, the Russian side published only a few videos from this direction. And even those videos actually showed not the occupier's successes, but the advance of Ukrainian forces. When an army that usually films every meter of its movement suddenly goes silent, it often means only one thing. There's really nothing to talk about there. It seems that Ukrainian drones have turned part of the front into a real zone of terror for the occupiers. Russia was forced to bombard its own former positions with dozens of guided aerial bombs, trying to stop the advance of the Ukrainian armed forces. But even that didn't help. What was recently considered a Russian bridgehead is gradually coming under the control of Ukrainian forces. And here there is another very important detail. The offensive began with the use of armored vehicles which, contrary to the predictions of many experts, are not outdated at all. Combined with the widespread use of drones, this allowed them to break through and minimize losses. In fact, Ukrainian forces are demonstrating a new formula for an offensive, where drones not only assist the troops, but pave the way for them through the most dangerous sections of the front. Then that's not all. In just one month, Ukraine's defense forces struck more than 200,000 enemy targets. And behind each of these numbers are destroyed equipment, demolished depots, burned supply routes, disrupted logistics and yet another blow to Russia's capabilities to continue the war. The most painful outcome for the occupiers. Nearly 28,000 Russian soldiers have been eliminated or sustained such severe injuries that they are out of action. In fact, June has become one of the most difficult months for the Russian army in recent times. And importantly, Ukrainian strikes are increasingly reaching the enemy far beyond the front line. In places where they recently still felt relatively safe. The Minister of Defense reported that the number of targets hit at a distance of more than 50 kilometers from the line of contact has almost doubled. In other words, Ukrainian drones and precision strike weapons are penetrating ever deeper into the Russian rear. And this means that for the occupiers, the war no longer ends at the first line of defense. There is a particular focus on logistics, as that is where the most painful blows are being dealt today. It seems that Ukrainian UAV operators have launched a real hunt for anything moving toward the front line. Trucks, fuel tankers, motorcycles, ammunition depots, all of these are increasingly turning into smoke before they even reach Russian positions. June has become a record-breaking month for the defense forces. Ukrainian soldiers set a record for destroying Russian artillery and achieved the best result ever in intercepting enemy drones during the full-scale war. Nearly 50,000 units and they also set an absolute record for destroying the occupier's vehicles and motorcycles. And most importantly, these are no longer just isolated successful operations, but a systematic campaign to exhaust the enemy. Ukrainian drones are methodically tightening the noose around the occupier's logistics day by day. And it seems that this is exactly what Moscow fears the most, because the front can be reinforced with new soldiers. But restoring a destroyed supply system under constant fire from Ukrainian drones is much more difficult. That is why June may turn out to be not just a record-breaking month, not just in terms of losses for Russia, but as the beginning of much more serious problems ahead. And while the armed forces of Ukraine are reclaiming their land meter by meter, it seems the Kremlin has decided to take their favorite route, simply drawing themselves a victory. After another series of successes by Ukrainian troops at the front, Putin's spokesperson Dmitry Peskov suddenly started talking about the great achievements of the Russian army and the inevitable fulfillment of all the war's objectives. However, there is one problem. Reality once again forgot to coordinate its plans with Kremlin propaganda. While Russians were being told on the radio about a successful offensive, independent analysts took a close look at the maps that Russian generals are showing to Putin. And it turned out that there is a gap of almost 2,000 square kilometers between the front line and the Kremlin's reports. In other words, while Ukrainian armed forces are liberating territories in the real world, the Russian general staff compensates for this by capturing territory in the world. A fantasy. The funniest thing is not even the scale of these fabrications, but their content. On Putin's maps, the Russian army near Slovyansk and Kramatorsk claims control of Chasiv Yar and in some places it is almost approaching Zaporizhzhia. It seems that the Kremlin's master is being shown not battle reports, but a trailer for yet another science fiction movie. And this is exactly where it becomes clear why in Moscow they speak so confidently about successes. If you look at maps every day where the army advances faster than common sense, you can believe in any fairy tale. The only problem is that the real front exists outside the Kremlin offices. And there, Russian troops are increasingly confronted not by drawn arrows, but by Ukrainian drones, artillery and counterattacks. But the most painful blow for the Kremlin, it seems, did not happen on land, but at sea. On Navy Day, Volodymyr Zelensky directly stated that Russia has lost the Black Sea. Just a few years ago, such a statement would have seemed like science fiction. A country without a large navy forced one of the world's largest naval fleets to retreat. After the liberation of Zmini Island, a series of strikes on ships, headquarters, bases and ports, the occupiers have effectively lost the ability to feel like masters of the waters. Today, the Black Sea has become yet another example of how Ukrainian technologies and unconventional solutions break Russian military patterns. Naval drones have accomplished what until recently was considered nearly impossible. They forced the Russian Black Sea fleet to shift from a show of strength to a mode of constant survival. And now Russian ships increasingly resemble not hunters, but prey, constantly looking over their shoulders. It seems this is only the beginning of much bigger problems for Moscow. After all, if the Black Sea is no longer safe for Russian ships, then the Black Sea and Azov regions can no longer be considered a rear area. And while the Kremlin continues to boast about its successes, Ukraine is step by step taking away from the enemy, what it considered its unquestionable advantage.
