Russian Tuapse looks like Mordor tonight 🔥
Ukrainian drones have struck targets in Novocherkassk, with explosions reported in the city. #Russia
The Russian military blogger "Rybar" has started complaining that Russia is losing all the progress it has made over the past year in the offensive near Zaporizhzhia.
lol… what will they control their drones with ‘far from the frontline’, dial-up modem?
Russia tries to recruit gamers, saying they can be drone pilots, with an inference they will be far from the front line. The reality is many are used as "meat"
Oppositionists have come up with this video, saying "war is not a game" and showing "Game Over" may come quickly.
Russian resident expresses despair following drone strike on Tuapse refinery.
"YES!!!"

⚡️Ukraine pushing to produce home-grown ballistic defense system 'within a year,' Zelensky says.
Kyiv's intention to pursue such a system is not new, but the announcement marks the first time officials have attached such an ambitious timeline to the effort.
Over the past two years, 3,000 Ukrainian children in the Russian-occupied Luhansk region, starting from age 14, have undergone military training as part of the teenager program by the Warrior (Voin) center.
Useful cargo loads are noticeably lower than that. At @tochnyi.info we will continue to monitor tanker loading and if you want a more detailed coverage listen to yesterday's stream here:

Russian tanker port data. At Ust-Luga the LNG terminal is still offline, the gas condensate loading has resumed, oil products loading recovered, the LPG loading has resumed. The adjusted crude oil data for last week shows shipments below the average 0,7 million barrels a day.
Very serious point here — media vastly overreport what Trump says rather than clarifying for the reader the actual strategic situation.
🫣🤪 Where are you, Putin? 👀
17-yr-old Ukrainian chess player Roman Dehtiariov has won the 2026 European Individual Chess Championship.Congratulations!
Roman from Kharkiv was ranked 126th on the starting list of players.But he scored 9 points out of 11,becoming the first European champion in history who is not a grandmaster.
Some long-discussed/planned changes that I am now starting to implement on the Oryx loss list for the war in Ukraine:
Wow, I LOVE this guy! Take that Putin, you POS!!!
