Russian UAV operator Myroslav Simonov from the elite "Rubicon" unit has defected to Ukraine’s side. He says that after being deployed near Kupiansk and seeing how casually orders were given to execute prisoners, he went AWOL and crossed over to the Ukrainian side.

Solovyov threw a fit on air because Ukraine and Germany are set to co-produce drones.

Reuters reports that Russia could sharply cut oil production in the near future due to intensifying pressure from the US and EU administrations, which will lead to a storage overflow.

Russian propagandists are complaining about a Ukrainian offensive near Stepnohirsk. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have begun gradually pushing the Russians back, and they have started lamenting the difficulties.

Ukraine's National Guard Rubizh unit used one ground robot to evacuate another on the Pokrovsk front in a unique operation.

Anything Trump has to say about Ukraine is as vacuous as the hair on his head. The 'Orange' mans words after the meeting with Zelenskii.

A statement appeared on the UK government’s website saying that the United Kingdom will develop new long-range tactical ballistic missiles for Ukraine to protect it from Putin’s war machine.

New Russian armour for 2026 has been spotted on the front line! 😆

"Don't blame us. We will have to, once again, destroy the god-forsaken Berlin." - Solovyov had yet another outburst and yet again started talking about the destruction and "liberation" of major European cities. 😳

Russian oil prices have fallen to their lowest level since the start of the full-scale war, according to Bloomberg. The price of Russian crude has dropped to just over $40 per barrel on average, down 28% from three months ago, Argus Media reports. This is the lowest level since February 2022.

"Moscow is not seizing territories, but defending the rights of 15 million Russians who found themselves on the territory of Ukraine." - said the former president of Bosnia. Yet another mouthpiece of Russian propaganda in Europe.

Satellite images showing the aftermath of the strike on a "Varshavyanka"-class submarine in the Russian port of Novorossiysk have appeared online. As can be seen, the submarine has successfully gone to the bottom, bringing the Russian Federation one step closer to the title of a "land power."

Sky News reports that Britain, at the "Ramstein" format meeting, announced the allocation of a large air defence package to UA worth nearly €685 million. British Defence Secretary John Healey said that Kyiv will receive air defence systems, missiles & automated turrets for shooting down drones.

Russians have posted a video of the supposedly undamaged submarine "Varshavyanka", which was attacked by an underwater kamikaze drone yesterday. However, the video was shot from a very interesting angle, which hides the aft part of the submarine, which could potentially be damaged.

Regardless of all you understand about #Ukraine and it's resolve to resist #putler. This is a reminder of Zlenskyy's address 'Without you'. It says it all! All #Ukraine wants is to be free of the Russian yoke. They'll die, sacrifice & fight to gain that. We should do our upmost to ensure that.

A Russian was almost killed by his own drone: a failed launch of a "Molniya-2" UAV with an anti-tank mine as its warhead from the window of a building. It went off spectacularly. 😅

A Russian occupier ran toward a Ukrainian explosive-laden robotic ground vehicle with a grenade, threw it, and detonated along with the system. The Ukrainians are thankful that the Russians are so f*cking stupid. 😅😂🤣

Meanwhile on Russian state TV, propagandist Solovyov offers a different perspective, calling to "blow everything the hell out" and threatening "there will be no life" in Kharkiv, Poltava, Mykolaiv, Odesa or Kyiv. Residents must flee or be destroyed, he said.

Sweden will transfer 150 Gripen fighter jets to Ukraine, with the first expected to arrive in 2026, Zelenskyy said.

I saw Lavrov on TASS and suddenly realised that Lavrov does not fill his suit. In fact his suit is bigger than he is. A little man in big clothes. What's with those shoulder pads? If Lavrov had a properly tailored suite he would look exactly what he is! A small man in a small suit.

As the Russian war against Ukraine is approaching its 4th year; I can not help realising that Putin is more & more like Hitler. That being, like Hitler, he can't accept the defeat that is so evidently in front of him; so he doubles down. Putin & Hitler are equivocal. #Ukraine #UkrainianView

The old one's are the old one's I was browsing through my library and found this I had a Bluesky conversation of the creator of this meme about a year ago. It is quite well known. I want to repost as it is such a good meme for the sh*ts and giggles.

Princess Anne, has arrived in Kyiv to support children and war veterans. She met with President Zelenskyy to discuss the UK's support for Ukraine. She also visited the Children’s Memorial and the Child Rights Protection Center, established to support young people affected by the war.

Reuters (www.reuters.com/world/france...) reports that an oil tanker carrying Russian crude has been detained off the coast of France. Tracking data shows that the 115,500-ton sanctioned vessel previously departed from the Russian port of Primorsk, and was heading to the Indian port of Vadinar.

Nothing could be more symbolic of Russia than this. In Donetsk, water was supplied to mark the anniversary of the occupation. Welcome to the Ruski Mir Wherever Russia goes; everything turns to shit.

This is a chart showing the chronology of Russian provocations in September alone. Russia keeps prodding at Europe. Those are the actions of a bully. How do you stop a bully; you give them a bloody nose. Which is why Europe must arm #Ukraine with everything they need.

Turkish fishermen caught a Ukrainian Magura sea drone in their nets. I imagine that there are many of them still floating around out there.

Gregg Terry presents an informative video. In my view, 'yes' a global war could happen; but only if we do not support Ukraine to win 'now'. This could have been ended in 2023 if we had armed UA. Arm then now and end the war as quickly as possible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcmz...

RFU News on YouTube covers to topic of Russian fuel shortages. Worth a a watch and a follow. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZSO...

It looks like fuel will soon be rationed in Feodosia; if it’s available at all that is. Ukraine applying it's own sanctions against Russia's war economy.

In Feodosia, Crimea, an oil depot has been struck by Ukrainian drones.

Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Havryliuk said in an interview with the BBC that Ukraine will receive Swedish Gripen fighter jets. Additional deliveries of F-16s and Mirages are also expected.(www.bbc.com/ukrainian/ar...)

In Moscow, several hundred Russians came to Putin’s reception office to file complaints about violations of constitutional rights, fines for searching extremist content, the development of a park, the demolition of architectural monuments, and more. No complaints about killing Ukrainians though!

Orbán sound more and more like Putin every day! "Ukraine is not an independent country. It is supported by the West. We give it weapons. Ukraine should not behave as if it is sovereign." - Orbán.

Russia’s oil output is starting to decline as sanctions, war, and aging fields take their toll, WSJ reports. By 2030, 80% of reserves may be hard to extract. Rising costs and equipment shortages threaten key revenues that fund the Kremlin’s war economy, the outlet reports.

HUR intercepted an order from a Russian commander to execute unarmed, wounded Ukrainian prisoners. That is the fate of Europe if we do not support #Ukraine to win this war and win as soon as possible. #FuckRussia

Lavrov's speech at the UN was ignored by the majority of representatives from member states. Lunch was way more important than anything Lavrov had to say.

The Russians claim that they have captured an unmanned FPV carrier boat; the very same one that reportedly took part in the attack on Tuapse on September 24, which could also launch FPV drones from special platforms.

"If Russia threatens a blackout in Kyiv, let them prepare for a blackout in Moscow." - Zelensky. The President of Ukraine also added that Ukraine has handed Trump a list of weapons worth $90 billion, but is also open to separate agreements, particularly regarding the "Tomahawk".

Perhaps the best 'Zelensky' interview I've seen. To the point, poignant, emotional and straight forward. Worth a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kwZ... #UkraineView #Ukraine #Zelensky

R.I.P. Charlie Kurk. I disagreed with him for the most part. However Dudayev was a much wiser and bigger man.

Feck Charlie Kurk! R.I.P. Dudayev! I think he had a 'crystal ball' and truly understood Russia and the 'Ruski Mir'. An insightful and heroic Chechen. Unlike the drug addled Kadyrov & his delinquent offspring.

Medvedev, or at least his political team, chirp up! The irony; you can almost taste it!

Charlie Kirk. R.I.P. I fundamentally disagreed with Kirks politics, especially around Ukraine. Political violence is not the answer. Assassinating people because you disagree with them solves nothing. It creates martyrs. My sincere condolences to Kirks Family and familiars.

Rheinmetall will produce mobile Skyranger anti-drone systems for Ukraine, with the first deliveries expected later this year. "Each of these systems can cover four by four kilometers to be completely drone-free. This means that all drones will be dismantled." — Armin Papperger.

Several hundred protesters gathered outside the Royal Opera House in London demanding the removal of four performances by Russian singer Anna Netrebko from the program. All tickets for the concerts have already been sold, with the first event scheduled for September 11.

The water was turned in the temporarily occupied Donetsk, though it looked more like water from a puddle. In fact water from a puddle would be more drinkable than this. Welcome to the Ruski Mir

Four Ukrainian servicemen who had hidden from Russian forces for over three years were rescued from occupied territory. The operation involved special units of the Navy and National Guard and was coordinated with the Presidential office.

Same old, same old. At the EEF, Putin repeated a set of familiar lines under the banner of Russian “constructiveness.” As ever, they are neither constructive nor realistically acceptable proposals. Just banging the same old drum.

I'm reposting a repost of my post because it's funny! 😅
