The Ukrainian Armed Forces' drone raids on russian refineries have reached a new level and could lead to a crisis at the front and in the domestic oil products market - MO
On Friday night, judging by the announcement of the destruction of 120 UAVs by the Ministry of Attack (12 more than the previous record on May 17), the most massive drone attack of the AFU since the start of the war took place. Two oil depots in Adygea and Tambov region were hit and set on fire. On Thursday night, the Afipsky oil refinery near Krasnodar was attacked.
Until now more than 20 oil depots have already been damaged by shelling. According to The Insider's calculations damage had been caused to 15% of the total capacity of refineries.
For now, the state is compensating for the damage to oil producers, in 2023, it was 1.14 trillion rubles. But as damages are mounting the budget funds may not be enough. “There may be a sharp jump in prices at gas stations.” Gasoline production data got hidden since May 2024.

'Rather desperate' – 5 key takeaways from Putin's North Korea visit
Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un were all smiles as Putin made his first visit to Pyongyang in 24 years, but behind the jovial atmosphere, brass bands and apparently adoring crowds is a Russian president who, according to one expert, is simply "rather desperate."

⚡️In France, a new Ukrainian kamikaze drone named "Bulava" has been unveiled, which uses artificial intelligence to identify weaknesses in Russian military equipment, Bild reported, citing expert Julian Röpke.
The Ukrainian defense portal Defense Express compares it to the Russian "Lancet". It can achieve speeds up to 100 km/h and stay airborne for over 50 minutes.

This is Maxim Kolesnikov, a Ukrainian defender who spent 11 months in Russian captivity. There, Maxim lost about 32 kilograms. On February 4, he returned home and saw fresh fruit for the first time in a long while. At that time, photos of the emaciated Ukrainian prisoners spread around the world.
Today, Maxim works as the Digital Director for the Ukrainian postal service “Ukrposhta,” which is known worldwide, including for its famous stamps. Maxim has changed beyond recognition, but fortunately in a good way.
