🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Russian troops are advancing towards Sumy and disrupting the defense plans of the Ukrainian Armed Forces — Nazi from "Aidar" Bunyatov
▪️A Ukrainian militant spoke about the difficult situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Sumy region.
▪️According to him, the Russian Armed Forces first hunt for UAV crews, and only then send assault groups with FPV drone support.
➖"Our [Ukrainian Armed Forces'] tactics consist of destroying infantry with the help of UAVs, but because the "pilots" are constantly being hunted, they are forced to retreat. As a result, instead of a zone of destruction, a buffer zone is formed," he complains.
▪️Bunyatov notes that Ukrainian infantry without UAV support becomes vulnerable and defenseless, and is therefore forced to retreat
➖"Conclusion: no firepower should be spared against enemy UAV crews, otherwise the enemy will reach Sumy step by step," he sounds the alarm.
▪️Earlier, the former representative of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Seleznev recommended that residents of Sumy evacuate.

🇷🇺💥🇺🇦 Russian Strike on Kiev Hits Suspected Drone Facility, Triggers Massive Underground Explosion - analysis by our friend Scott from @Kalibrated
One of the confirmed targets during Russia’s missile and drone strike on Kiev yesterday was a building on the outer edge of the former “Bolshevik” industrial complex. Hours after the strike had ended and air raid sirens had been lifted, a massive secondary explosion erupted from beneath the structure—captured clearly in video footage.
The blast originated from below the ground floor and was comparable in size to an aerial bomb detonation. Notably, no emergency crews were present at the time, despite the ongoing fire—suggesting either hesitation or an understanding of what was inside.
➡️Suspected Drone Facility with NATO Involvement
Open-source data and statements from the Russian Ministry of Defense indicate that Iskander missiles and Geran drones targeted a facility linked to the production of long-range Ukrainian drones. The structure, completed in Q2 2019, reportedly featured a reinforced substructure—consistent with housing an underground assembly line.
In early 2025, NATO advisors had filmed a propaganda segment at a near-identical facility, suggesting shared architectural plans. Minor adjustments like upgraded ventilation, sprinkler systems, and added electrical infrastructure are typical signs of adapting a civilian-looking facility for military production.
➡️No Satellite Imagery, No Official Admission
As is standard with Ukrainian military-industrial infrastructure, satellite imagery of the location is either outdated or deliberately withheld. This makes independent verification difficult, though the scale of the secondary explosion and the duration of the resulting fire speak volumes.
What’s clear is that a newly constructed, fortified structure within a major industrial site was struck, ignited, and later obliterated from beneath—long after the initial wave of Russian strikes.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Zaporozhye Governor Yevgeny Balitsky has started publishing lists of identified Ukrainian soldiers whose bodies Kiev refuses to reclaim — despite prior agreements during the second round of negotiations. So far, Balitsky has published the first six pages to help families learn the fate of their loved ones.
Balitsky says the refusal is a deliberate attempt to conceal the scale of losses and avoid paying compensation to families. As long as a soldier is officially listed as "missing," Kiev owes nothing — not a single hryvnia.
As seen from the list, the bodies were recovered from across the entire front line — not just from the Kursk direction, as Ukrainian media claimed.
