🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 From Ukrainian Channel Legitimniy 💬 "Our source reports that Russians did not believe the statement from the Office of the President and the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine that all thermal power plants in Ukraine had been destroyed by previous Russian strikes. Today, Russians have again targeted Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure. The government did not even bother to repeat its statement that everything is fine. In many cities, there have been even greater disruptions in electricity, hot water, and water supply. As the source explains, most likely, after the previous strike, the Russians analyzed satellite photos, studying the nature of the damage. That's why there was such a pause. We can confidently say that Ukraine will be cut off from the "switch". Closer to the cold weather, the electricity shortage will be maximum, which will lead to a "black winter" in Ukraine and a crisis in all areas of life. It's better to stock up on everything and buy everything you need. The state definitely won't help you." 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧 From Ukrainian "Insider" RezidentUA 💬 "Our source in the Presidential Administration has informed us that the Office of the President has coordinated with the Biden Administration a massive combined strike on the Crimean Bridge in early May. MI-6 is developing the operation jointly with NATO headquarters in Europe; all details are currently classified, even from the Ukrainian General Staff." 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇷🇺🇺🇦 On the new drone attack on the Krasnodar Region Ukrainian formations have again carried out a massive drone attack on energy sector facilities and military infrastructure in the Krasnodar Region. ▪️The first wave of the raid, involving more than a dozen drones, hit a military airfield on the outskirts of the village of Kushchevskaya in the Krasnodar Region. According to preliminary data, there are destructions on the territory, the extent of which is now being determined. ❗️Particular attention should be paid to the leaked footage of Emergency Ministry employees clearing the rubble of one of the buildings on the military base. As in the case of strikes on Crimea, some pro-Ukrainian citizens or simply those who do not understand the seriousness of the situation are helping the enemy assess the damage. ▪️In addition, in the Slavyansk, Seversk and Kushchevskaya districts of the Krasnodar Region, Ukrainian formations tried to attack oil refineries and infrastructure. ▪️As a result of the attack of more than ten UAVs on the territory of the plant in Slavyansk-on-Kuban, the rectification column was damaged. The resulting fire was quickly extinguished, and the refinery's operation was partially suspended. ▪️At the Ilsky Refinery, the arrival of 17 drones was recorded, resulting in damage to the primary oil refining unit, the fire lasted more than half an hour but was also extinguished. ▪️According to some reports, the Afipsky Refinery could also have been a target of the raid, but no official information on damage to the plant's territory has been received. ❗️In total, the air defense forces intercepted 66 UAVs over the Krasnodar Region, and another two over the Crimean Peninsula. 🔻In recent months, the enemy has focused on strikes on refineries and oil storage facilities. Previously, we noted that the goal of such attacks is not only to damage the enterprises as such, but also to try to provoke a rise in energy prices, which in the end can lead to increased inflation and growing discontent among the population. The AFU are carrying out massive raid after raid, indicating a lack of shortage in drones. Due to the lack of strikes on Ukrainian facilities where UAV assembly is carried out (for example, "Antonov"), the AFU have fully established the production process. Moreover, the accuracy and characteristics of the drones have increased. And we cannot forget about the activity of US and NATO reconnaissance aircraft and drones, which were observing the Krasnodar Region before the massive attack. Both the French E-3F and the American RQ-4B were 190 km from Sochi, and clearly were not watching vacationers on the Black Sea.

🇷🇺 Medvedev stated that in response to the actions of the United States, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of terminating the property and non-property rights of foreigners in legislation. The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council reminded that Russian legislation includes the concept of reciprocal restrictions (retaliatory measures) in response to restrictions on the rights of Russian citizens and legal entities. According to Medvedev, the rule needs to be expanded because confiscation essentially involves not only restricting rights but also terminating them. This will require amendments to the law. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics
