Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

Poland now confirms that it was a 🇷🇺 Kh-101 missile that hit its territory. Such missiles are launched from Tu-95MS bombers of which six from Olenya Air Base participated in the July 30 strikes. This is likely the first time a weapon from the Kola Peninsula hits NATO territory.

True 🇷🇺cowardice was again laid bare today, when ballistic missiles were aimed at 🇺🇦families like the Voronovs. Parents Olena and Artem, children Mark, Azarii Ilai and Emilia are confirmed dead, while the fate of Zakharii, Dominika, Viorika, Federica and grand child Artem is still being determined.

Today's essential read for anyone following the Kremlin's efforts to export repression and fear to Russians living in exile across Europe. This case from Norway is a stark example. Written by my colleagues Farida Kurbangaleeva and Olesia Krivtsova.

A textbook Potemkin façade: after cancelling St. Petersburg’s Main Navy Parade for the second year in a row, reportedly for fear of Ukrainian drones, Putin’s substitute was… a submarine painted on a backyard wall. When reality sinks, paint floats.

Lurer på hvordan det går med leveransene til Norges eneste utleveringssted for Wildberries (WB) i Barentsburg?

Good to see this Tu-95MS effectively put out of action. Its tail section has been blown off beyond practical repair after the attack on Engels-2. This bomber also regularly operated from Olenya Air Base on Kola when launching strikes that terrorized civilians across Ukraine. 📸 @avivector.com

Pretty wild special berry operation at Wildberries today 😇 - Elektrostal, Moscow Oblast.

The people running the 🇷🇺 Defence Ministry's Telegram channel and Max platform seem genuinely mentally unstable.

OTD in 2009 Natalia Estemirova received Russia's prestigious 7.62mm award for investigative journalism & died at the scene She reported on Novye Aldi massacre on 5/2/2000. We killed 60 civilians, raped at least 6 women & burnt homes Imagine our army still doing that..

Jeg er helt enig med Skjalg Fjellheim. UD må slutte å vase, innse alvoret, og få stengt de tre nordnorske havnene for russiske bandittfiskebåter.

Nå må havnene i nord stenges for russerne

Når russerne får lov til å tømme norske drivstofflagre, handler det ikke om fiskerisamarbeid, men om norsk dumskap.

🤡 The children's attraction "Oreshnik" has opened in St. Petersburg.

Dette er et resultat av villet politikk. Samtidig som Ukraina angriper russiske raffinerier, oljelagre og transport, seiler russiske fiskebåter fritt til havner i Nord-Norge for å fylle drivstoff. Det er på høy tid å stoppe dette tullet. Steng havnene nå.

Politiet bekymret: – Kan føre til lokal drivstoffmangel

Politiet har merket seg en økning i russiske fiskefartøy som anløper Kirkenes for å bunkre drivstoff. I helgen gikk Bunkeroil tom for drivstoff ved sitt kaianlegg i Kirkenes.

Putins enorme feighet

Mens hundretusenvis av soldater dør i Russlands krig mot Ukraina, er Putin-regimet nådeløse mot russisk ungdom som mener at krigen må ta slutt.

The Kremlin keeps rewriting history to cast itself as the victim. But 1,595 days after Russia launched its unprovoked war of aggression, no amount of disinformation can hide the truth.

If you're looking for "traditional Russian cultural values," Vysoky has you covered: a library celebration in the same closed military town that serves Olenya Air Base, where Tu-95MS bombers regularly take off to fire cruise missiles at civilians in Ukraine.

NATO sources tell Iltalehti that Finland is expected to become a future user of GlobalEye AEW&C, including flights along Finland's border with Russia. That makes Norway's continued refusal to allow allied military flights over East Finnmark look even more absurd.
