‼️ Russia has very powerful ballistic missiles and will soon be able to launch them 5,000 kilometers away. It’s only a matter of time, — Zelensky.
Key points:
▪️The Russian president will try to invade other countries and kill even more people.
▪️Ukraine currently has one of the strongest armies in the world. After four years of war, we are producing our own drones, missiles, artillery, and armored vehicles.
▪️A ceasefire in Ukraine is possible, but remains “very difficult.” Putin needs a victory.
▪️The Russians have lost 150,000 people in a 50-kilometer stretch. This is what real war is.— @UkrReview Jul 14, 2026

The ultimate economic hammer is about to fall. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
In a major policy shift, the Trump administration is greenlighting the late Senator Lindsey Graham’s “bone-crushing” secondary sanctions package against Russia.
This bipartisan bill is Putin’s absolute worst nightmare. It enables the US to slap massive tariffs of up to 500% on any nation continuing to purchase Russian oil, gas, or uranium.
By forcing global buyers (like India and China) to choose between the US financial system and cheap Russian energy, Washington is effectively cutting off the Kremlin’s last remaining economic lifelines. A fitting, powerful legacy for Senator Graham. Somewhere, Ronald Reagan is smiling. #USPolitics #RussiaSanctions #LindseyGraham #EconomicWarfare #Trump #BreakingNews

Overnight, the Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat refinery and the Afipsky refinery were attacked by Ukrainian drones.
11 Russian ships were hit during the night.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reports that due to Ukrainian strikes, Russia’s oil refining has fallen to its lowest level since 2005.
In July, Russian refineries are processing an average of 3.91 million barrels per day, the lowest since March 2005.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran moved a staggering amount of oil out the door before Washington could slam it shut again.
TankerTrackers says Iran shipped more than 80 million barrels of crude and refined products over the past 26 days, a haul worth around $6 billion.
The monitor isn’t calling it over, either. It estimates roughly 30 million barrels are still waiting to leave, even as the U.S. Navy blockade gets reinstated more than a month ahead of schedule.
Another 60 million barrels of floating storage sit inside the blockade line if Tehran has to throttle back output.
Iran insists nothing has changed.
Oil minister Mohsen Paknejad said exports are continuing as usual despite the U.S. revoking its 60-day sanctions waiver last week, arguing Tehran spent years building the mechanisms to blunt exactly this kind of pressure.
He accused Washington of breaking its word, saying it pulled the authorization early, in violation of the waiver terms, after the flare-up at the Strait of Hormuz.

Why hasn’t Ukraine destroyed the Kerch Bridge yet, despite completely neutralizing its air defense shield? The answer is masterclass psychological warfare.
You don’t destroy the bridge. You leave it open.
By keeping Putin’s prize bridge intact but visibly defenseless, Kyiv is applying Sun Tzu’s ancient rule: build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across. If you trap millions of occupiers, collaborators, and Russian settlers on Crimea, they will fight to the death out of sheer desperation.
Instead, you leave the escape hatch open and let panic do the work. The message is loud and clear: “Get out while you still can.” The massive, self-inflicted exodus of Russians fleeing back to their homeland does more to demilitarize Crimea than a thousand missile strikes ever could. Why waste ammo when the enemy is evacuating themselves? #KerchBridge #Crimea #PsychologicalWarfare #SunTzu #MilitaryStrategy #UkraineWar

Crimea was supposed to be Vladimir Putin’s crowning achievement — a stronghold in the war against Ukraine and a domestic symbol of his imperial ambitions.
Now, all of that is under threat.
