Systematic strikes by Ukrainian forces have disabled 42.7% of Russia’s total projected oil refining capacity as of early July, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The campaign has hit eight Russian refineries over the past month alone, contributing to an estimated $13.5 billion in industry losses since August 2025 and triggering localized fuel crises across more than 50 Russian regions.

For the second day in a row, everyone has been laughing at this video.
Yesterday, Putin, dressed in military uniform, allegedly made a rare visit to the front line, to one of the auxiliary command posts. In reality, it was a film set inside a bunker. As we can see, they have a lot of props in that bunker:
😅 A camouflage net was hung inside the building.
😅 The flooring, lighting, and acoustics all look like those of a studio.I wonder how many times they rehearsed it?

Medvedev: Moscow has a proposal for a peaceful resolution to Iran’s nuclear issue
Russia’s Deputy Chairman of the Security Council said:
“The U.S. attacks on Iran were carried out under the pretext of its nuclear program, which has been the subject of extensive debate.”
“These discussions have been limited to general negotiations on how to deal with Iran’s nuclear materials.”
“Russia had proposals on this matter. In fact, they were put forward by Russian President Vladimir Putin and could have resolved the issue in a different way—through peaceful means.”
“The Strait of Hormuz has become a weapon for Iran, one whose power is no less significant than that of a nuclear weapon.”

I spoke with German Chancellor Merz @bundeskanzler. I’m grateful for the support and assistance to our people and our country. Germany is one of the world’s leaders in protecting lives, and we deeply value that.
The key priority now is missiles for the Patriot systems – to protect our people from Russian ballistic attacks. That was the main focus of our conversation: the possibility of supplying our Patriot systems with the missiles we need, because Russia is making its final bet on missile strikes against Ukraine. It has no other options for dragging out the war.
The Chancellor and I also discussed the situation on the front lines. I briefed him on the latest developments and our results. Now, on the eve of America’s Independence Day, Putin has chosen to lie to the world and to the President of the United States about the situation on the front. He claims that Russian forces have supposedly captured Kostiantynivka in the Donbas. Of course, that is not true. It is just another Russian lie, an attempt to generate some kind of a news story. If Kostiantynivka were under Russian control, then perhaps Putin would have no problem meeting me there to find a diplomatic way to finally end this war. But the fact is, he won’t cross the front line – reality is very different from Putin’s words.
Thank you to all our warriors for defending Ukraine and our people. Thank you, Germany! Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Putin sends a message to Trump celebrating America’s 250th anniversary of independence:
“Donald, I wish you & your loved ones health, well-being & every success, & I wish all citizens of the United States happiness & prosperity.”
I’m sure he means every word 😂

🇦🇲🇷🇺Armenia’s parliament has passed a new law raising the requirements for citizens living abroad to vote in national elections, following concerns over alleged efforts to influence last month’s parliamentary vote through Armenian citizens residing in Russia.
● Under the new rules, Armenian citizens must have lived in Armenia for at least half of the previous two years, measured 48 days before election day, in order to cast a ballot.
● For snap elections, the qualification period will be calculated from 28 days before the vote.
