India, meanwhile, has seen oil imports from Russia surge. Last year India imported $65.7 billion worth of goods, mostly oil, from Russia and Delhi insists that in doing so India is bringing stability to the world oil market. In response, Trump has threatened India with more sanctions, along with China, another big Russian importer.

today’s explosive update: Ukrainian forces strike deep behind Russian lines in Sumy, eliminating 8 Russian companies! Meanwhile, shocking news from Moscow — Putin’s own daughter publicly condemns her father, saying he ruined her life. GUR steals nuclear submarine secrets, and Russia is in chaos.


More updates: Possible strikes on Orieshnik, closed skies over Kapustyn Yar, and signs of negotiations — could the war end this week? Plus: Israel prepares to take Gaza, wounded Russian soldiers forced back into battle, and Kadyrov rewards his mother with a bizarre medal. Don’t miss a moment!.

Gasoline prices in Russia have reached historic highs for the second consecutive day, following the suspension of production at two major Rosneft refineries. Despite govt try to attempts to curb surge with a full ban on fuel exports, prices have continued to climb on the wholesale market, Moscow Times reported on August 5.

August 5, price of AI-95 gasoline on the St. Petersburg Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange reached a historic record for the 2nd consecutive day, rising by 1.2% to 974$ per ton. Similarly, the price of AI-92 gasoline increased by 1.01%, reaching 841$ per ton, just shy of the absolute record set in September 2023 (874$ per ton)... crying

Since beginning of this year, wholesale gasoline prices have risen by 30%, and this trend is expected to continue. Market sources told Reuters that the market is facing a shortage, partly due to the ongoing attacks by Ukrainian drones on energy infrastructure.Two major Russian refineries were forced to halt production due to renewed drone strikes on energy facilities. Novokuybyshevsk Refinery, with a capacity of 8.3 million tons per year, completely stopped its production, while Ryazan Refinery, the largest in Rosneft & one of Russia's top five, ceased approximately half of its production. Two of the three oil processing units @Ryazan refinery were damaged, repairs may take a week or even longer.

Trump is getting increasingly frustrated w/Russia.

And also Trump just put 50% more tax or call is a tariff on India for buying oil from Putin....(a tax or duty to be paid on a particular class of imports or exports the reduction of trade barriers and import tariffs")... Tongue

Here, Kyiv has secured over $6 billion dollars in arbitration awards against Russia and Gazprom, an unprecedented legal victory could see Russian oil & gas money rerouted directly to Ukrainian state. Outcome does not just reaffirm international law; it essentially gives Ukraine billions of dollars from the Russian pocket to spend on the war against Russia. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed Ukraine now won 5 billion arbitration rulings tied to Russia’s illegal seizure of energy infrastructure in Crimea. Funds are owed to Naftogaz, Ukraine’s state energy company, rulings are enforceable in courts across multiple jurisdictions across the Western Hemisphere. Legal basis for award stems from Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea, when Moscow seized control of gas pipelines, storage facilities, & other Naftogaz infrastructure across the peninsula. 

Rather than compensate company or negotiate terms, Russian when on to authorities moved to fully nationalize those assets. 

Ukraine responded w/series of claims under international investment agreements, arguing expropriation violated binding treaty protections. Arbitration panels agreed, and after years of proceedings, issued rulings assigning direct monetary liability to the Russian state & its state-owned entities. In practical terms, this means Russian revenues, especially linked to Gazprom or state-controlled energy holdings abroad, could be frozen & redirected.
Case is now a landmark for state versus state legal battles and may encourage other Ukrainian firms to pursue similar claims. Zelensky framed outcome as clear proof of accountability of power of international law, emphasized Ukrainian diplomats would begin executing next steps for recovery immediately.

Whether Ukraine receives funds now depends on enforcement, b'cos Russia is not expected to pay voluntarily. Instead, Ukraine move to seize Russian assets abroad under legal mechanisms already recognized by courts in Europe, North America & beyond, include freezing bank accounts, confiscating real estate, intercepting revenue streams, or taking control of Gazprom subsidiaries. Legal path resembles strategy used, mirroring past cases, courts allowed Russian state assets to be seized abroad after legal defeats. 

Ukraine now has a crucial advantage: rowing international momentum to make Russia pay for its actions, which gives Kyiv more leverage in pushing through asset seizure without political resistance. This is also not Ukraine’s first such win, because just last month, Naftogaz prevailed in another arbitration case against Gazprom, centered on a broken transit deal worth 1.37 billion dollars. When Russia invaded Ukraine, Gazprom halted all payments that covered Russian gas transiting through Ukraine, betting on a swift Russian victory and hoping that meant they wouldn’t have to pay. With this reasoning, Gazprom chose to violate the terms of a multi-billion-dollar contract with Ukraine and its state-owned energy company, assuming no one would hold them accountable. But that gamble failed, as Ukraine’s legal institutions, particularly those tied to Naftogaz, have proven unexpectedly resilient and aggressive.

To understand the scale of this victory, it is worth comparing the total over 6 billion dollars in arbitration awards to the actual military aid Ukraine receives. Britain’s military support for Ukraine this year totals about 3.2 billion dollars, while Germany’s is just under 6 billion dollars. These are crucial lifelines, but what makes the arbitration rulings remarkable is that they match or exceed this level of support, and they do so using Russia’s own money. In effect, Ukraine has just secured the financial equivalent of a top-tier European aid package directly from Russia, and unlike peace negotiations, these arbitration awards are active, internationally enforceable, and concrete.

Overall, Ukraine’s legal victories mark a strategic shift in how the war’s economic front is being fought, because rather than rely solely on Western sanctions or goodwill, Kyiv is turning to arbitration and treaty law to make Russia pay, literally, for its aggression. If enforcement proceeds successfully, Russia could face a steady drain of assets over the coming years. Not through sanctions or diplomacy, but through court orders. In this war, the courtroom is now an extension of the battlefield, and Ukraine is learning how to win on both

Not through sanctions is enough or diplomacy is none even from U.S. Trump admin, but Ukraine now through court orders. 

This war or illusion for made plan by putin will continue into next year 2026 & the next year 2027crying Big Grin

Russia will face a ling very steady draining of their assets soon over coming months and years till year 2027. Not even through trump sanctions or diplomacy can do anything's help through court orders have gives a new hand. 

Russia could face a steady drain of assets over the coming years. Not through sanctions or diplomacy, but through court orders. Putin'a will continue his war, courtroom is now an extension of the battlefield double win for Uktaine, and Ukraine learning how to win on both maybe in many others way.

So the battlefield double another win for Ukraineian, and Ukraine is learning very fast how to win for having a 3rd hand. Big Grin

Ukraine carried out one of the deepest, most devastating strikes of the war - Destroying a key Russian drone production facility over 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) inside Russian territory. This plant produced Geran-2 drones, copy of Iran’s Shahed-136, munitions used to attack Odesa, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Kherson, and Kyiv. By wiping out this plant, Ukraine has crippled the Kremlin’s ability to replace these drones quickly – cutting Russia’s capacity for long-range strikes on Ukrainian cities. The hit came after Ukrainian forces destroyed 90th Air Defense Brigade in Krasnodar Krai, clearing a corridor through southern Russia’s air defenses. This strike shatters Moscow’s belief that its industrial core was beyond Ukraine’s reach. It’s part of a wider campaign – shutting down Sochi Airport, sparking sabotage in Bryansk, and hitting vital oil facilities. Putin now faces a war that has reached heart of his military-industrial complex, proving nowhere is safe.

In 2010, he was banned for life by Kremlin for supporting Russia’s democratic opposition to Vladimir Putin.

Updates from the Russian Federation.


Here, Russian authorities were trying to repair damage to oil refineries from previous attacks, the Ukrainians dealt them another devastating blow. By starting a new wave of strikes with long-range drones, Ukrainian army targeted Russian oil production facilities to disrupt key enemy source of income.
Ukrainian forces have reignited their strategic campaign against Russia’s oil infrastructure, resuming targeted drone strikes on critical refineries after a calculated pause, concentrating on disabling Russian air defenses & radars in past month, Ukrainian military leaders patiently allowed Russia to begin costly restoration efforts @previously damaged facilities. Once repair crews& specialized equipment were fully engaged, Ukrainian drones decisively struck again, inflicting severe economic & logistical damage while simultaneously eroding Russia’s internal narrative of security.

Those significant recent attacks targeted major refineries in Samara and Ryazan. In Samara Oblast, Ukrainian long-range Liutyi drones successfully attacked the Novokuybyshevsk Petrochemical Company, one of Russia's largest oil-processing plants. Drone strikes severely damaged facility’s primary oil refining unit, critical for initial crude purification and fractioning processes into gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and fuel oil. Videos confirm large-scale fires burning uncontrollably for hours, forcing authorities to temporarily shut down Samara airport and restrict mobile internet access to control info leaks. The Novokuybyshevsk refinery alone represents a daily processing capacity of over 177,000 barrels or almost 5% of Russia’s national refining capability.

In a similar attack, Ukrainian drones struck the Ryazan refinery, number 3 in the list of Russia’s largest oil refineries, processing approximately 340,000 barrels daily. This refinery notably produces 840,000 tons of aviation kerosene annually, nearly 9% of Russia’s total output, a vital resource for Russian air operations. Notably, this refinery is situated next to and directly supplies the Dyagilevo strategic bomber airbase, from where Russian bombers target Ukrainian cities and military bases deep behind combat lines. Footage captured massive fires and explosions within the facility, clearly contradicting official Russian claims of minor damage caused by falling drone debris. Such strikes significantly degrade Russia's capability to sustain air ops, directly benefiting Ukrainian defense efforts. Russia’s already weakened by relentless Ukrainian targeting, are becoming increasingly ineffective, forcing Moscow to deploy outdated systems, even rush production of air defense missiles, causing defects to become more common, desperation recently resulted in a friendly fire incident near Sochi, where a Russian air defense missile intended to intercept a Ukrainian drone instead suddenly veered toward urban areas, causing civilian casualties as a result.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone strikes inflicted serious damage on oil storage depots in Sochi and Adler, igniting tanks at Lukoil and Rosneft facilities. Krasnodar Governor Veniamin Kondratyev confirmed deployment of over 120 firefighters to control the blaze at a major depot storing 2,000 cubic meters of fuel. Yet, local authorities responded to the incident by attempting to identify and punish residents who had shared visual evidence of the successful Ukrainian strikes online. Additionally, Ukraine hit the refinery in Kstovo near Nizhny Novgorod, an already damaged facility previously targeted in January. The renewed strike represents Ukraine’s effective tactic of exploiting Russian vulnerabilities after costly restoration efforts. Another drone attack sparked a large fire at an oil facility in Volgograd, underscoring Ukraine’s renewed campaign against Russian oil infrastructure.

The strategic secret behind Ukraine's approach lies in the carefully timed repetition strikes. Allowing the Russians sufficient time and confidence to rebuild and re-staff targeted refineries before attacking again magnifies the economic damage and further drains Russian resources. The cumulative psychological impact on Russian society is equally devastating, publicly demo to Kremlin's inability to secure vital national assets despite repeated attacks. This persistent vulnerability undermines the govt’s image domestically, dismantles official assurances of a secure rear area and weakens public morale. Overall, a carefully orchestrated strikes systematically degrade Russia’s military capacity by cutting critical fuel supplies essential for combat ops, same time, Ukraine's coordinated drone assaults severely trim Russia’s asset.

India, meanwhile, has seen oil imports from Russia surge. Last year India imported $65.7 billion worth of goods, mostly oil, from Russia and Delhi insists that in doing so India is bringing stability to the world oil market. In response, Trump has threatened India with more sanctions, along with China, another big Russian importer.

This photo is Trump trade mark where he, himself will bring w/him to meet Putin. Sleepy

Zelenskyy wins EU, NATO backing as he seeks place at Trump-Putin talks... Hope here,.This persistent vulnerability undermines the Putin's govt’s image domestically, dismantles official assurances of a secure rear area and weakens public morale. Overall, a carefully orchestrated strikes systematically degrade Russia’s military capacity by cutting critical fuel supplies is essential for combat ops, same time, Ukraine's coordinated drone assaults severely trim Russia’s asset. This is telling Putin and his gang to be abit more serious about this coming talks, if he himself, in case, the Ukraine President isto, if he want to meet both this two old man. One is a dictator and the other one is just playing a long only. Big Grin
