Mad Vlad drove Finland and Sweden into joining NATO.

The Finns held their own when Stalin invaded in 1939/1940.

Mad Vlad was running out of Russians to use as cannon fodder.  He had to import North Koreans and Iranians to fill his cannon fodder quotas.  How many Belarus persons will he attempt to conscript?

🔥🛢️Ukrainian Special Operations Forces struck the “Tamanneftegaz” oil terminal and the Port of Taman on Russia’s Black Sea coast overnight.

The facility, located on the Taman Peninsula more than 300 km from the frontline, plays a major role in Russian oil and fuel export logistics through the Black, Azov, and Mediterranean seas.

@Gerashchenko_en

Russia has once again demanded that Ukraine surrender Donbas territory to begin negotiations.

Peskov said:

"President Zelenskyy must order the Ukrainian Armed Forces to cease fire and withdraw from the Russian regions. Only then will a ceasefire take effect, allowing the parties to engage in negotiations."

The Kremlin continues to insist on a "surrender first, dialogue later" format for negotiations.

Peskov’s statement implies that Russia is demanding the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Defense Forces not just from Donbas but also from the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions - territories that Putin has illegally added to the Russian constitution.

In reality, the Russian army is advancing extremely slowly, while the Ukrainian military is expanding the "kill zone" and maintaining control over the skies. This raises a logical question: on what grounds does Putin believe he can issue such demands?

One likely assumption is that Putin, isolated in his bunker with very limited communication, is receiving distorted information regarding the actual situation at the front. A prime example of this is the case of Kupiansk.

Similarly, Putin is being lied to about the true state of the Russian economy. I will post a ridiculous video about this below.

Essentially, Putin has long since become a victim of his own propaganda.

United24 said Russia has spent about 1,500 days assaulting Mala Tokmachka, a tiny Ukrainian village in Zaporizhzhia region that had around 200 residents before the full-scale invasion, without capturing it. The image contrasted great cities that fell after sieges lasting hundreds of days with Moscow’s failure to take one small settlement after years of attacks. #Ukraine

Reuters said Russia’s Perm refinery fully halted operations after a May 7 Ukrainian drone attack. The plant emergency-stopped 3 primary crude processing units and part of its secondary units, with repairs expected to take several weeks and no clear restart timeline. Permnefteorgsintez, owned by Lukoil, is Russia’s seventh-largest refinery by crude processing volume. #Russia

Ukraine's General Staff confirmed strikes on a microchip plant producing components for precision weapons, command posts and enemy personnel.

Ukrainian forces hit Angstrem plant in Zelenograd specializing in high-tech products and microchips for precision weapons using Ukrainian-developed RS-1 "Bars," FP-1 "Firepoint" and BARS-SM "Gladiator" drones.

Solnechnogorsk pumping station, part of Moscow's ring fuel pipeline supplying the Russian army, was also struck with fires reported. Additional hits targeted drone command posts in Kharkiv, Kherson and Donetsk regions.

These civilians don't seem to understand that unlike Russian drones, the Ukrainian ones aren't targeting them.

Russian media openly turns on Putin and rages at Moscow's collapsing economy

Russian media is using dark humor to address soaring inflation, shortages, and the economic strain of the war in Ukraine.

Catherine Mackinlay, Brigid Brown  |  May 9, 2026  |  10:00 ET


Russian newspapers are publicly ridiculing the nation's worsening economic crisis in an unusual show of dissatisfaction within Russia.

The mounting evidence of unrest was noted by BBC Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg, who has been tracking Russian media reports as the Kremlin grapples with surging inflation, supply shortages and the burden of the war in Ukraine.

In a post on X, Rosenberg wrote: "Judging by what I read in Russian newspapers, jokes about economic problems & internet restrictions are permitted. Can't see any jokes about the president," reports Daily Express UK.

His examination of the Russian press uncovered increasingly grim coverage of the economy's condition, accompanied by gallows humor targeting rising costs, censorship and deteriorating living standards.

Kommersant, one of Russia's most prominent daily newspapers, acknowledged that despite "an April improvement in estimates of current demand for Russian industrial products", the nation's manufacturing decline was persisting.  .  .  .

Ukrainian Attack on Moscow: Analysis of Air Defense Rings Breakthrough in russia’s Capital Region

17 May 2026


The Ukrainian attack on Moscow and the Moscow region on May 17, 2026, was the most successful strike on the area since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war.

However, Ukrainian drones had still managed to penetrate defenses on isolated occasions earlier, including in early May 2026, after a significant buildup of air defenses in the Moscow region in 2025.

Air defense system of Moscow

As of spring 2026, Moscow is protected by two dense rings of air defense systems, in addition to several positions within the city itself. According to OSINT analysts, around 130 air defense positions are deployed in and around the capital.

The second ring of air defense positions was established in 2025. Between May and September 2025, Russian forces built approximately 43 specialized air defense towers around Moscow.

The backbone of Moscow’s air defenses consists of around 100 Pantsir-S1 air defense systems and a smaller number of Tor systems, designed to intercept Ukrainian drones and cruise missiles. These also include around two dozen S-400 batteries used to intercept cruise and ballistic missiles.

Not all of the constructed positions can be simultaneously filled by air defense systems, but as of April 2026 OSINT analysts had verified at least 89 Pantsir-S1 systems within a 50 km radius of Moscow.  .  .  .

Russia's key manufacturer of drone and missile components declares bankruptcy

Semen Ruban — 17 May, 17:03


Russian company Monocrystal, which was one of the world's leading producers of synthetic sapphires used in the production of missiles and drones among other applications, is declaring bankruptcy.

The manufacturer, which is part of the Energomera concern, notified creditors of its intention to file for bankruptcy with the Arbitration Court of Russia's Stavropol Krai.

As recently as 2022, Monocrystal held a third of the global market for synthetic sapphires, which are used not only in the defence industry but also in the production of protective glass for smartphones and smartwatches.

The company now cites its own insolvency and insufficiency of assets.

As of the end of 2025, Monocrystal's short-term liabilities exceeded its current assets by US$50.6 million, while assets themselves contracted over the year from US$215.5 million to US$182.5 million.

The volume of short-term borrowed funds grew to US$70.7 million, accounts payable stood at US$8.77 million, and long-term liabilities exceeded US$129 million.

Over three years, the company also shed approximately half its workforce – headcount fell from 1,087 in 2022 to 524 in 2025.

The bankruptcy is linked to damage to production facilities in Russia's Belgorod Oblast as a result of Ukrainian attacks  .  .  .

The truth is that Russia's government refuses to pay the company what they are owed.

A  large fire is being reported in Ryazan. This is one of the regions drones are being recorded. There is also a "lovely" refinery that was hit before.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA

👀‼️ According to estimates voiced by SBS Commander Magyar, over a hundred S-300, S-400, and S-500 air defense missile launchers, as well as over 50 Pantsir-S1/S2 and gun systems, are concentrated around Moscow.

A combined simultaneous salvo from all air defence systems around Moscow would amount to over 700 missiles.

Despite this dense air defense, Ukrainian drones were still able to hit targets in Moscow and its suburbs.

He also noted that Russian authorities are trying to downplay the scale of the strike.
