Wildberries is at the center of attention amid Ukrainian strikes. We have interviewed Vladimir Milov, a former deputy minister, who explained its links to VTB, the wider financial risks, and why this is a much bigger problem for Russia’s wartime economy: frontelligence.substack.com/p/from-retai...

Our team at Frontelligence Insight was honored to contribute to this Financial Times investigation. A tremendous amount of work went into it by the journalists, much of which naturally stays behind the scenes in the final piece. We highly recommend reading it.

Frontelligence Insight is developing an OSINT platform focused on tracking Russian activities in Africa. We're looking for a few volunteers to help us finish building it. We already have backend developer, so we'd especially appreciate someone with extensive UI/UX design experience.
OTD in 1981 West Germany signed agreement to build Yamal pipeline with USSR. Barely 18 months after we had invaded Afghanistan, it's part of tradition of not letting invasions stop cheap Russian gas. Things have changed now, haven't they?
Next week, we'll publish a new investigation with a data on Russian fiber-optic drones, including new technologies like mesh networking and sanctions evasion routes As we haven't asked for support since the beginning of the year, we'd greatly appreciate your support buymeacoffee.com/frontelligence

Special Report: Ukraine’s Military Leadership Change. What We Know and What to Expect
Kyiv has been gripped by political crisis in recent days, with protests erupting in the wake of Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko’s resignation and the Cabinet’s subsequent dismissal.

❗️🇺🇦 Once again, it was hell near the Lukyanivska metro station - once again, Russia is targeting this central part of Kyiv from the last places Despite significant damage, the metro station has resumed normal operation.
Wrong. It a main story on TV2 News, a national broadcaster network in Denmark 🇩🇰. Its also being aired on our other national channel, DR1. It certainly should get more coverage in other countries as well - but to argue that it isn’t covered in all of Europe is simply wrong.
Last night, Russia attacked a European capital with over 40 ballistic missiles. That leads nowhere in European news headlines this morning. Russian terror, murder and destruction are simply taken in stride as a normal story.
The last 7 weeks, Spotify had 4 outages when publishing my podcast episodes (!!). After outage #3, I asked the Podcasts team to share how they are improving reliablity. They didn't share - and it just got worse. So I am no longer publishing video podcasts on Spotify, but redirect my audio RSS.
Yet Ukrainians have to explain why they don't like the people bombing them.

"A Russian missile wiped out an entire family. Will this photograph stop the war? Most likely not. But I believe the world needs to see the truth," said photographer Yefrem Lukatsky. "I hope those whom this photograph will hurt can forgive me. Kyiv, July 6, 2026," he added.
Last night Ukraine could not intercept a single Russian ballistic missile. The USA deliberately starving Ukraine of Patriot missiles is now clearly understood by the Russians as American support for their terror bombing. The USA is helping Putin kill Ukrainians.
3 days ago we killed over 30 civilians in Kiev. Last night we killed a dozen. Apparently this isn't worth a mention on @amnesty.org's main account. Wonder why.
The USA starving Ukraine of Patriots is a crime. Trump is helping Putin kill Ukrainians. Last night was the USA aiding Russia.
The Kyiv Independent@kyivindependent.com · last mo.⚡️Ukraine urgently appeals to nearly 40 allies for Patriot interceptors. Ukraine says Patriot missiles are already available in partner countries' stockpiles and urged nearly 40 countries to transfer them in July after one of Russia's largest attacks on Kyiv.

Russians struck the famous Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra Monastery, one of Ukraine's oldest Orthodox churches. Monks are trying to save devotionals. Barbarism made in Russia.
These people are actively trying to destroy the United States.
