“Engels-2” has come under attack again, with reports of damage to a Tu-95MS strategic bomber — an aircraft that is extremely difficult for Russia’s air force to replace. At the same time, a fire has engulfed one of the country’s largest oil refineries, bringing the fuel crisis closer to a critical point. By autumn, the impact of strikes on oil refining could affect not only gas stations but also prices in Russian stores.
Against this backdrop, more than 100,000 Russians have headed toward Upper Lars, choosing to leave in advance rather than wait for a possible mobilization. Meanwhile, Lavrov is trying to explain why Putin is constantly being “deceived,” while Russia’s dependence on Chinese components for missile production is becoming increasingly obvious.
Lukashenko is urgently heading to Putin amid talk of a possible provocation against NATO, while the CIA director, according to media reports, tried to shatter the Kremlin’s illusion of inevitable victory.
Pyotr Tolstoy openly calls for the destruction of Ukrainian cities, while a businessman close to Putin has allegedly gained control of nearly 35% of Ozon. We also examine The Atlantic’s forecast for when the war could end, Armenia’s rapidly growing distance from Russia, and Donald Trump’s new global ambitions. Trump already calls himself the greatest U.S. president, although his historical legacy may ultimately be shaped in large part by his support for Ukraine.
