Unlike the Ukrainian strikes on Wildberries who is a logistics hub for military gear, these attacks are war crimes.

An incredibly good and enlightening conversation👇 Here you get the essence of what the war is about, a deep dive into why the Russians are fundamentally different from the rest of us, and why the American political division is a Russian intelligence operation to weaken Democracy from within.

WarTranslated (Dmitri)@wartranslated.bsky.social · yesterdayThe Russians themselves confirmed the strike on a civilian car in Kherson. However, they naturally spun a story claiming the man wasn't a vegetable vendor, but was instead transporting cargo and working with the Armed Forces of Ukraine - which is allegedly why they were "hunting" him.
Ukrainian rescuers who arrived in France to fight the forest fires are greeted very warmly by the locals! Thank you, France! Ukraine and Europe are stronger together.
1/2 #Ukriane I and others often write about Ukrainian successes. They are real, and things are getting better than last year, but it is incredibly important to stay focused: ▶️The chance of #Russia collapsing is small. ▶️Putin has not changed his war goals. ▶️There will be no negotiations. ⤵️
Mick Ryan@warinthefuture.bsky.social · 2d ago“Kyiv may be in the best position in the war since 2022, but the Kremlin believes it will crush the will of Ukraine & its friends this winter.

For reference, Westminster is about 21.5 km², so Russia took about one and a half Westminsters. If you've ever strolled around Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, and Hyde Park, that gives an idea of the progress Russia made in July, at a cost of over 40,000 casualties.
Alina Pereverzieva 🇺🇦@perevaa.bsky.social · yesterdayDeepState estimates Russia gained a net 36 km² in July 2026. The hottest spots are near Rodynske, Kostiantynivka, the state border, and toward Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, where Russian forces made small gains. Taking the entire Donetsk region in 2026 is impossible, and in 2027 it is highly unlikely.

Benjamin Husstad-Nedberg@factforce.bsky.social · 3w agoI never got a response to this, so I conclude that I am correct and Galeotti is wrong. Not because I am showing scorn, but because it is important that false stories are not spread in the public that Russia is NOT deliberately attacking civilians. They are.
They Ukrainians will get there eventually. I’m trying my best here in Norway to raise some awareness about it. My recent piece in the paper about it. The Law of the Sea allows for tougher measures. Sweden is asking us to do more, like them. Press translate www.dagsavisen.no/debatt/stopp...

UNITED24 Media@united24media.com · last wk.⚡ Russia is increasingly using Arctic routes as a fast lane for its oil exports.
One of Wildberries' largest logistics hubs in northwestern Russia (154,000 sq m) continues to burn following a drone attack in Krasny Bor, Leningrad region. The Syzran and Kstovo oil refineries were also struck.
Nobody in Ukraine or Europe is taking this seriously. Trump admin has spent their entire period helping Russia. They will not change course, and every signs (easing sanctions , canceling patriot licenses , accepting Russian assistance to Iran) points in the opposite direction.
