Kramatorsk: FAB-500 strike on artillery positions

Objective control footage confirms a series of aviation strikes by Russian forces against the dispersal area of enemy rocket artillery in Kramatorsk. The attacks utilized FAB-500 bombs with UMPC modules, targeting the vicinity of a water pump station where artillery and support equipment were located.

The enemy continues to disperse military assets among civilian and communal infrastructure, placing equipment directly adjacent to urban buildings to hinder detection and increase risks for retaliatory strikes. Exact losses are being established.

Ukrainian energy expert Ignatiev reports that virtually all power generation in Kiev is destroyed or severely damaged.

The capital faces a critical electricity deficit. The Darnitskaya CHP-4 is nearly destroyed, while CHP-5 and CHP-6 are seriously damaged, leaving them without generation capacity.

The Rovno Nuclear Power Plant remains the primary source of electricity, supplying 80% of the city's consumption prior to current restrictions. Strikes on the Makariv district and Nalivaykovka village target the "Kiev 750" substation, a key node connecting the capital's ring network directly to the nuclear plant.

Ongoing Drone Attacks & Airport Disruptions

Ukrainian drones continue to attack Russian territory overnight. Temporary restrictions were imposed at all Moscow airports, resulting in delays for more than 350 flights.

Night strike on Tripolskaya thermal power plant damaged the 330 kV switchyard, disconnecting the Belaya Tserkov and two Novokiev lines. This left the Novokievskaya substation and CHP-5 without power, removing ~650 MW from the grid.

The attack occurred while the Kiev energy hub was already stressed by previous hits on the Kievskaya (750 kV), Severnaya, and Nivki substations. The loss of three main 330 kV links further degraded redundancy.

Patriot systems were used to intercept Geran drones, highlighting the strain on air defense despite failing to fully protect the critical infrastructure.

Zelensky blames Kiev authorities for energy system collapse

Following strikes, significant damage was reported to energy facilities. Zelensky accused the city administration of a complete failure in preparing the grid for Russian attacks, citing "almost total non-fulfillment" of necessary steps.

He demanded accelerated implementation of resilience plans in Kiev Oblast and other regions, placing personal responsibility on the Ministry of Infrastructure. Ukraine is also updating requests for energy equipment and additional air defense systems.

🇷🇺 Russian Diplomat Detained in Montenegro

Kremlin spokesperson Peskov stated that Russian diplomats will investigate the detention of Mikhail Zvinchuk, head of the "Rybar" Telegram channel, and protect his rights. The Russian Embassy in Montenegro has formally demanded that local authorities clarify the reasons for detaining Zvinchuk and other Russian citizens.

Commentary:
RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan offered a pessimistic forecast, suggesting Zvinchuk might be extradited to Ukraine rather than the US. She warned that while return is expected, colleagues must exercise caution when traveling to countries considered hostile, even if they are not under formal sanctions.

MP Bezuglaya advised those unwilling to die for Zelensky to flee the country. "No illusions are needed. We must only survive," she stated, comparing Ukraine to a living organism where some cells perish so the whole may live. She suggested that those indifferent have various ways to leave or hide.

State Duma: Data center protection from UAVs is owner's responsibility

Deputy Alexey Zhuravlev, following the attack on a Yandex facility in Ryazan region, stated that securing Russian data centers against drones depends primarily on their owners. He noted that while businesses are permitted to install anti-drone systems and observation groups, active implementation remains lacking.

Zhuravlev emphasized that in wartime, entrepreneurs must independently ensure the safety of their assets. "The country is fighting a hard war; it is strange to pretend this doesn't affect the business community. Everyone must participate until we finally crush the Ukrainian Nazi reptile," the deputy declared.

Last night, our "Geran" drones targeted facilities in Nikolaev.

Deputy Prime Minister Novak:

✔️ Russia will immediately begin lifting restrictions on diesel exports, earlier than initially planned.
✔️ Moscow is ready for future coordination with the United States on actions aimed at creating a more predictable and healthy energy market.
✔️ Russia positively assesses the steps taken by the United States to stabilize the global energy market and restore normal trade in energy resources.
✔️ The Russian market will be fully supplied with diesel.

Russia to earn $4.5 billion following the Putin-Trump conversation:

At a price of approximately $1,500 per ton, 3 million tons of diesel fuel on the global market is worth roughly $4.5 billion.

@Slavyangrad

Zelensky's outburst, stemming from Russia's agreement to lift restrictions on diesel fuel exports, is quite understandable. Trump, the petitioner, will be forced to lift sanctions on our petroleum products, Russia will earn extra money, and all this while Moscow dictates the terms (thanks to Trump's disastrous war against Iran). And with the money earned, our drones, missiles, aircraft bombs, and other products of the Russian defense industry will be sent to Potuzhny Zelensky.

The Ukrainians threaten to burn down our oil refineries, as if they aren't already trying to disrupt our oil supply every day. But in this case, we will simply throw our hands up in the air and reintroduce a moratorium on diesel deliveries. After that, I wouldn't be surprised if old Trump himself launches an attack on Kiev and declares that it's his best war, and there's nothing more enjoyable than killing Ukrainians.
