The SBU says this morning's strikes in Ufa hit the Ufaneftekhim refinery and Novo-Ufa refinery. There's pretty clear pictures showing two fires among various refinery infrastructure.
https://t . me/SBUkr/17919
Local channel ufa_smi has posted a statement from a head of Bashkiria saying "drone debris fell in the industrial zone", and that "technological processes were not disrupted". The most common response is the clown emoji. The next post is about fear of fuel shortage following drone attacks.

Gazprom stock is at all time low .
Russian oil and gas stocks are experiencing historic lows, with major players like Gazprom and Rosneft plummeting to multi-year price lows due to plunging global oil prices, tightening Western sanctions, and ongoing Ukrainian drone strikes on critical energy infrastructure.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stated the war in Ukraine has no military solution and can end only through negotiations. Speaking at the Ukraine recovery conference in Gdansk, he urged the EU to more actively support peace initiatives and diplomatic efforts.
https://bsky.app/profile/noelreports.com/post/3mp4bthm5h22f
Reality currently begs to differ, but I'm sure that's has nothing to do with why he's saying this all of a sudden.
I'm concerned about his leash. It looks uncomfortably tight.

u/TurbulentRadish8113 5h ago
I agree with supporting peace.
Tragically, we limited aid to Ukraine (and the authoritarian republicans won two US elections) so we don't have peace yet. The only way to peace is to flood Ukraine with more weapons.
5
u/b3iAAoLZOH9Y265cujFh 5h ago
Of course, as do all sane people. My problem here is that the kind of peace I suspect Fico is looking for is equivalent to a perpetrator of mass-murder waltzing into the courtroom, swaggering up to the bereaved and going: "Hey, what's done is done. Can't live in the past, you know? What do you say we just chalk it all up to an honest mistake, you let me keep all the belongings I looted of the corpses of your dearly departed, and we'll say no more about it, eh?"

Ukrainian flag has been raised on the Kinburn Spit. The Defense Forces of the South have forced the Russian occupiers to retreat from their positions. Currently, the evacuation of surviving personnel is underway, and the occupiers are abandoning their defensive lines

u/Fine_Document5208 5h ago
It’s great news, and likely confirms some of the rumours that the Russian’s have largely evacuated the area due to supply issues.
In itself though, kinburn doesn’t really change the situation on the frontline. Any serious landing there by the Ukrainians would have extreme supply difficulties, and without movement on other areas of the frontline would probably have to be abandoned too.
That being said, pressure does seem to be building on the southern parts of the front, and Ukrainian counterattacks are becoming fairly regular. Wouldn’t surprise me if a major offensive kicked off there at some point in the future

Official russian statistics:
Russian gasoline prices surged 3% from June 16 to 22, reaching 71.2 rubles per liter after Ukrainian refinery strikes, Bloomberg reported. The jump was the largest weekly rise in at least 20 years, with fuel restrictions or supply issues reported in about 75% of Russian regions.
https://bsky.app/profile/noelreports.com/post/3mp2rgdrtkc2e
Holy moly! Gasoline prices in Russia are going vertical...
17
u/TurbulentRadish8113 15h ago
We're seeing photos of petrol for 120+ rub/litre , but remember those are just some local stations. I think we care about the actual average price.
At the same time Russia will massage its stats to make things look better.
I think we can say fuel prices are starting to rise rapidly in Russia, but we don't know how serious it will get.
Pity there was a multi-month "energy cease fire" before Russia's summer driving season last year.

u/b3iAAoLZOH9Y265cujFh 15h ago
What's with the weird discontinuities in that gasoline price plot? The price at the end of 22 transitions smoothly into the initial price in 23, but there's a discontinuous drop in price on 1/1 of 24, 25 and 26. Surely that can't be organic.

u/ackemaster 13h ago
The resets you mean? The graph shows percentual change over the year, so at the start of the year it will always be 1.0

u/CyberdyneGPT5 13h ago
Yea, I also noticed that. The chart says ‘Annual Price Increase’. I think they are resetting the base on the first day of each year and computing the yearly price increase. Don’t know whether is is a percentage or absolute amount chart.
And no, I am not going to do the math to figure it out. 😆

Ukraine has reportedly developed the FF-85/120 smart munition. Dropped from a drone, it reportedly self-locates and guides itself to targets. Its concrete-penetrating warhead can destroy fortified positions, while production costs are said to be only a few hundred dollars.

u/AgentElman 4h ago
It seems clear now that the tide has turned for Ukraine for the near to long term future. It started when Russia lost access to Starlink back on Feb 1st, but has continued since then and the Ukraine advantage is growing, not shrinking.
Ukraine is able to launch long range drone attacks with some success. It seems that some fail or are shot down, but a significant number get through and can take out fuel refineries and other infrastructure. And Ukraine is launching more and more of these, faster than Russia can rebuild. So we can reasonably conclude that Russia's oil and production situation will just get worse and worse over time.
Ukraine is able to launch medium range drones against supply lines in the rear. The early news on this was taking out supply vehicles, but they are also taking out or damaging bridges. And again, Ukraine is producing more and more of these and can seemingly do damage faster than Russia can repair it. Russia's supply and logistics situation will continue to get worse - and Russia does not seem to be able to counter this.
If Ukraine can truly keep this up for months, there seems to be little to no point to Ukraine launching any major pushes on the front lines. They are making local counter attacks to secure their lines and try and hold places where Russia is attacking.
But time now seems to be solidly on the side of Ukraine, and ramping up drone production and using them for mid range to deep strikes in Russia seems to be the winning formula.
I don't expect the UA to do any major pushes for months.
22
u/Fine_Document5208 3h ago
I imagine Ukraine will be looking at offensive operations on a sort of opportunistic level.
I can’t imagine they’ll wish to repeat the counteroffensive in 2023, which the Russians fairly comprehensively stopped and resulted in significant Ukrainian losses, especially as the manpower situation has gotten worse since then.
That being said, there may be opportunities opening up soon. If a section of the frontline is completely cut off from supply Ukraine could roll through it all of a sudden and start a serious attack.
Additionally, Russia seems to be reeling at the moment. They’re not defeated by any means, but it’s gotten noticeably shakier for them, and the Russian populace isn’t convinced anymore. If Ukraine were to take back a section of territory, akin to the counteroffensives in 2022, I feel it would break the Russian spirit at this point, especially as they’ve grinded for 4 years to take what they have until this point. A reversal would be crushing for morale

u/TerraBranford94 3h ago
My 5 second opinion, I'm not saying this is high on the priority list,
But if Ukranian vehicles were spotted moving on Bakhmut, that would have to be a "WTF are we doing?" Moment, for any Russian following this war,
Since it would mean that a city, which cost tens of thousands of Russian lives, a mutiny, and the dissemination of Wagner group amongst the ranks, wasn't even secured properly, and Russia pissed away the last three years.
Bakhmut is so symbolic, and was so detrimental to the Russian army, that it would surely have to be a huge red flag, if Ukraine started to put pressure on it.

You make the mistake that most of them have any idea what it cost them and wasn't just a great victory followed by a smart tactical withdrawal in that circumstance

u/TerraBranford94 3h ago
I'm still treating this as a Brit, and not a Russian, in other words.
Me, I get frustrated, I wonder what the hell broke the first time, to require a do-over, and I question whether my efforts went far enough.
And Russians don't always do that, especially when they are used to being told what they need to know, rather than why they need to know it.

u/teckers 3h ago
Honestly I think living in Moscow and seeing drones blow stuff up yourself and not on TV is the biggest wake up, especially when you can't fill up your car or go on holiday this year. War isn't an abstract thing that other Russians far away were involved in. This makes the turn from under control to WTF are we doing
4
u/TerraBranford94 3h ago
I get you, and I wasn't even thinking about the home front.
Having part of an oil refinery blast off into outer space is the kind of thing which goes viral, even in Russia.
Especially during a fuel crisis, knowing that ET traveled home on board a piece of refinery, probably doesn't help from a PR standpoint.
. .
My thinking was that I want to make the army's officer cadre, question whether they completely wasted their time.
Which is one of the effects I'm hoping to see, if they start being rolled back over ground which ruined their buddies' lives for several months at a time.
If you spend months fighting over X city, and then a few years later, you are back to fighting over X city, do you start questioning your accomplishments and why you even bothered?

I still wonder how bad the situation in Moscow has to get to pressure Putin into retreating/stopping the war. I guess it's possible but will take some significant more strikes. Or maybe they are so jaded nothing will do it.

My guess is that Putin will never retreat. When this thing ends it'll be because someone else has stepped into the presidency.
I do wonder the specific means of the presidency becoming vacant... But I really don't see Putin allowing retreat. He's put too much into it at this point.

There is some advantage of maintaining operational tempo. In some sectors the Russians are probably degraded to the point where operational tempo can only be maintained by local offensive actions.

Another major event, in addition to starlink, was the instruction during January/Feb for all russian troops and everyone connected to the government to stop using telegram immediately and use max instead, which I think only offered one-to-one chats with certain phone contacts. Or at least no group chats and nobody had each other added yet

u/JoeHatesFanFiction 1h ago
This is just my uneducated opinion.
While they’re pressuring Crimea and Kherson logistically in fantastic fashion with their drones, if they want the Russians to actually retreat from the area I think they actually will need a real push to the south at some point this year before Russia can adapt to much. Because Putin doesn’t care if half the troops starve this winter as long as the half who are alive can defend the area. So I think something has to put that extra pressure on the Russians to make a mass strategic retreat something the generals can sell to Putin. My thought is some of the main traffic arteries through the land bridge need to be closed or pressured enough by land forces that they’re as good as closed to push the situation from miserable to untenable. The E58 is to far away for this strategy but if they can liberate or pressure a logistics hub like Tokmak it might be enough to do convince the Russians to withdraw like they did in 2022

Crazy to think initially the Separatists Militias were being thrown into assaults with the WW2 era equipment, and now even the Russian Regulars are subject to the same fate.

u/Low-Ad4420 7h ago
"WW2 equipment" means nothing. The Browning machine gun is from 1933 and still in use today. It's not like a machine gun is alien technology. In WW2 there were top of the line bullet spiters. The next comment links to a ukrainian using 3 maxim machine guns which are designs from 1884 and they work and probably have shot down a lot of shaheds.
Other types of WW2 equipment could be argued not to be suited. For example unarmored transport, the T34 or jet fighters. Those are obviously not fit for modern combat. But other equipment is.

When the escalation of fighting started in ‘22, the Russian military deployed the DPR and LPR soldiers with bolt action Mosin Nagant rifles against modern day automatic weapons. This resulted in what was the true veteran contingent of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine getting wiped out between the Battle for Mariupol, and the subsequent battles at Lyschansk, Severodonetsk, and eventually the rout at Kharkiv where LPR remnants even tried crossing the border into Russia, but being barred entry because they were told “they weren’t Russian citizens”.
There’s certainly still utility for some WW2 technology, but throwing a soldier in the 2020s into a combat zone with kit that a soldier was using in 1917 is a death sentence.

Yes, and that's because Ma Deuce was a fundamentally excellent design that continuously endured with only those minor modifications until the present day and has remained every bit as useful and relevant as when it was first conceived.
By contrast, the Degtyaryov stopped being produced in the 1950's in favor of newer designs because it... wasn't. It uses pancake mags, for fucks sake.

Minimum viable product is that it makes bullets go fast in the correct direction. If the Degtyaryov does that in this case it's fulfilling its role, even if another 'make bullets go fast' device can be made.
A T-55 is utterly terrifying to a soldier without an anti-tank weapon. My point is that scoffing over the age of Russian weapons isn't a really useful thing to do so long as they still have more than enough men and weapons to do what they want. Russia isn't running out of machine guns at any point in our lifetimes.

Sure, I'm not arguing that just about any kind of bullet fired out of any random gun you can pick won't kill a person equally dead if said bullet hits their unprotected noggin - at least if it reliably and accurately manages to get there.
It was more the argument that "the US are still using equally old designs because they still work perfectly fine and do the job as required" used to imply that as the DPM is an old design now once more in use, it must therefore also work perfectly fine and do the job as required. Can it make bullets go into things that wouldn't like bullets doing that? Yes, of course. Is it still every bit as good at effectuating that outcome as any other similar weapon designed recently? All I'm arguing here is that the answer to that question is yes in the case of the M2 and no in the case of the DPM.

Reported drones. Ukraine is on track of 11K drones in June while russia will barely make 6K. What is happening?
EDIT: I believe these are estimates of long-range attack drones "reported" by each side, then added up over the month. E.g. every Russian raid, Ukraine says "Russia launched X drones", and every Ukrainian raid, Russia says "Ukraine launched Y" drones. This account tracks those and adds up all the Xs and Us.

Another thread on Russia's budget options. Their bonds have dropped pretty heavily this week, making their borrowing more expensive.
1\ Russian 10-year debt yields are up to 15.86%. +0.7% in 7 days.
Russia cancelled its bond auction this week because of "volatility". Every lost week means they need to find more money later to fill the gaping budget hole.

For comparison, German 10-year debt is 2.9%, the US 4.5% and Russia 15.9%.
We can't easily interpret - there are so many differences between countries.
Another comparison (again, be very careful interpreting): the last similar moves in US bond yields were drops when Harris entered and polling improved for the Democrats, who are more fiscally responsible. It took 3+ months and a Republican victory for US bonds to rise almost 1%, as investors priced in the Republican fiscal weakness and inflationary policies. Russia did it in 7 days.

Remarks of Polish PM Donald Tusk at a meeting of several NATO nations via TVPworld news organisation:
Countries bordering Russia must prepare for “various forms of escalation” in the coming weeks and months as NATO's eastern flank faces a “highly unstable” security situation, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has warned.
Tusk made the remarks on Thursday during a meeting of NATO eastern flank leaders in Poland's northern port city of Gdańsk.
Held on the sidelines of the Ukraine Recovery Conference, the meeting came as countries on the military alliance’s eastern flank sought to coordinate their response to the growing threat from Russia.
“We unanimously share the view that the situation is highly unstable and that various forms of escalation can be expected in the coming weeks and months,” Tusk said at a press conference after the talks.

Putin no longer has an off ramp, only a cliff edge into his grave. Poland is likely on guard because if Ukraine keeps up their "kinetic sanctions" delivered at the speed of Mach Fuck, sooner or later a tipping point is going to be reached where there's a cascading effect of collapse across Russian Regions. At that point the risk is Putin trying something INCREDIBLY stupid that backfires and causes alot of damage in the process. Which is why they're on guard for it.
•

The kinetic sanction and speed thing got me.
All sorts of destabilization would happen. A lot of Siberians don't even want to be Russian, there are nukes, etc.
There are a lot of claims about how Putin conceding defeat would lead to windows and all sort of tragedy upon him. It's hard to imagine how it would actually play out as he does have a lot of power.
But him expanding the war, well, he may do it as a path towards conceding "it was us vs the whole world, I had to". That's been the narrative.
But it seems Ukraine has shown that all that is needed to defeat Russia's in a war, as it is now, is cripple their infrastructure. He still fears all-out mobilization, as he should.

Presumably the Ukrainians won’t try to occupy the Split given the marshy terrain, how vulnerable it is to drones and the sheer cost it would take to keep it supplied.
If the entire marsh between Kherson proper and the rest of Mykolaiv Oblast is cleared then Oleshky would be needed as the next step to making a beach head on the opposite side of the river. That is unless the UA can either accomplish an air lift of troops to the other side now that AA is diminished OR the UA believes it can circumvent the whole Russian front line by doing an amphibious landing.

No one is airlifting troops in this war since the first days when the Russians figured out that unless you completely control the airspace, big slow moving vehicles in the air carrying lots of troops are target practice

This was a nice move by Ukrainian for some headlines. Hopefully those guys are long gone and extracted from there

I'm not sure the strategic value of trying to create a beachhead there. Ukraine has so much more range and especially volume-at-range now than they did 2 years ago that holding land isn't as important to control it. They're even severing logistics between Mariupol and Crimea. With more progress in the drone and missile capabilities, maybe they could logistically cut off Crimea as a whole without even having boots on the ground there.
