On October 5, 2025, the Russian-Ukrainian war entered its 1319th day.
Yesterday, Ukrainian special forces cooperated with the Russian "anti-thief" organization "Black Spark" to launch a strike on the Kirishi refinery in Leningrad.
It is one of the largest key enterprises in Russia, with a production capacity of up to 2.0 million tons per year.
The facility produces gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and other petrochemical products.
Over the past two months, 16 Russian refineries have been completely or partially shut down due to the impact of Ukraine, with a total capacity of 1.468 billion tons of oil per year.
The fuel crisis in the Kremlin is escalating, with many gas stations without gasoline and still gasoline stations with gasoline prices reaching $4.52 per gallon.
It is said, Filling a tank of gas in Crimea now costs half the median monthly salary。
Some U.S. netizens said that Crimea's oil price is almost the same as the U.S., how can a box of oil add half of the monthly income.
Well, I saw an interview with the BBC before, and an old Russian lady said that her retirement salary was more than 17000 rubles per month, which was less than 1500 yuan.
Also yesterday, Ukrainian troops crossed more than 900 kilometers and destroyed a small Russian missile boat at Lake Onega in the Republic of Karelia.
In Rostov Oblast, Russia, a Buk air defense system was blown up by a Ukraine long-range drone.
Ukraine air force mobilized again yesterday to bomb Russian positions.
This was shot by Ukrainian pilots, the MiG-29A F-16AM in perspective.
According to Russian sources, the Ukrainian army launched an assault on the southern suburbs of Alexeevka, but was blocked in the woods after being hit by Russian FPV drones. However, as Ukrainian drones continued to be monitored and the enemy was only 50 to 80 meters away, Russian artillery units were unable to carry out fire support.
In the direction of Dnipro-South Donetsk, the Ukrainian army recovered three settlements including Sosnivka, Novoselivka and Sichneve in one go.
In the direction of Vovchansk, the latest geolocation information shows that the Russian army has recently stepped up its offensive in the area and reappeared in the factory area on the south bank of Vovcha River in the west of the city.
In the direction of Pokrovsk, the Ukrainian Army's 93rd Mechanized Brigade destroyed a Russian offensive column and captured the only four remaining soldiers.
Bob Ruek, commander of the 14th Brigade of the Ukrainian Army's Homeland Defense, said that Russian armored vehicles had almost disappeared from the battlefield. There are now almost no tanks, armored vehicles and heavy vehicles. When the Russian army attacked on a large-scale, it was almost entirely composed of motorcycles.
He believes that in the autumn, no major Russian offensive will happen, "they are already doing their best, constantly throwing meat.
The battle result announced yesterday by the U.S. General Assembly killed and wounded 870 people.
Let's take a look at other news.
The Ukrainian destroyer travelled to the United States to be adapted to the launch of 1000-mile-range tactical cruise missiles.
Ukraine accuses major powers of providing Russia with satellite information on missile attacks.
I will not comment on this matter. Everything will be subject to the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The President of Lithuania signed a decree dismissing the minister who “don’t know” who Crimea belongs to.
Ignatas Adomavichus, whoined his post as Minister of Culture for only a week, resigned after failing to answer the question “Who belongs to Crimea” in an interview and accusing journalists of provocation.
Greece provided artillery to Ukraine, and the United States and European Union countries called on Greece to send fighter jets as well.
Trump urgently released $51 million in arms. White House The United States will continue to sell weapons to NATO countries to deliver to Ukraine, Donald Trump has made it clear.
The Kiev Post stated that the United States was sharing intelligence while providing weapons to Kiev to carry out deep strikes in Russia. This marks a major shift in its policy and is something the Biden era wanted to do but failed to do (fear of so-called escalation).
Actually, this is not a very surprising thing. I said a long time ago (even before Trump officially took office) that Trump would be more ruthless than Biden, although his goal was not to bring a fair and just outcome to Ukraine.
Ukrainian Army Commander-in-Chief Syrsky knelt down on Guardian Day and apologized to the families of the fallen soldiers-for failing to protect their loved ones.
This reminds me of the video I have seen before: a Russian mother made an impassioned speech at her son's funeral under official arrangements, saying that she was proud of Putin and the Russian army.
The spectators nodded their heads, and the scene sounded thunderful applause!
War and death are the truest test strips of human nature.
A mother singing for war and leaders at her son’s funeral is against human habit, and the anti-human words and values behind her are the root of many tragedies in this world.
