If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Last night, Russia destroyed a Philip Morris warehouse in Kyiv.

A cigarette warehouse - what a powerful strategic target for the Russians.

Ukrainian drones hit Russia’s largest oil refinery as Zelenskyy says Siberia now ‘within reach’

CNBC by Sam Meredith 7/7/2026

Key Points

•   Ukrainian drones struck a major oil refinery in the city of Omsk in western Siberia.

•   The attack underscores Kyiv’s enhanced long-range drone capabilities and comes on the eve of a crucial NATO summit.

•   Russia had launched a barrage of missiles and drones against Kyiv in the early hours of Monday.

Ukrainian drones struck a major oil refinery in the city of Omsk in western Siberia, in what appears to be one of Kyiv’s deepest attacks on Russian territory since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Ukraine’s military general staff said Monday that the strike caused a fire at the facility, which is situated nearly 2,500 kilometers (1,553 miles) from Ukrainian territory and close to Russia’s border with Kazakhstan.

The attack, which was confirmed by local Russian officials, provides further evidence of Kyiv’s enhanced long-range drone capabilities and comes on the eve of a crunch NATO summit. Heads of state from 32 countries are expected in Turkey’s capital from Tuesday for the two-day conference.

“Today, our long-range sanctions reached the oil refinery in Omsk – nearly 2,500 kilometres from Ukraine,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his daily evening address, according to a translation.

“Upgraded Fire Point drones have put Siberia within reach of Ukrainian precision. This is a significant blow to Russia’s oil economy and an important achievement for the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said.

US to Buy Ukrainian Drones, Trump Says

Vladyslav Khomenko  |  July 8, 2026  |  20:02

The United States will buy drones from Ukraine.

US President Donald Trump said this during a meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara, European Pravda reported.

Trump responded to questions from media representatives about the current status of the bilateral agreement on unmanned technologies between Ukraine and the United States.

The US President confirmed his intentions regarding future purchases of drone platforms and praised Ukraine’s capabilities in this field.

According to the EP he said that the US will buy Ukrainian drones. “We make great drones, but they have the ability to produce them in very large quantities, which is extremely impressive. It’s amazing that they produce them in war conditions,” Donald Trump added.

In May, the governments of the United States and Ukraine prepared a draft memorandum outlining the terms of a potential new defense agreement between the two countries.

The document, developed by the US State Department together with Ukrainian Ambassador to the US Olha Stefanishyna, was the first step toward an agreement  .  .  .

Overnight, Ukraine continued strikes both deep into Russia and Russian occupied Ukraine, targeting energy and military assets.

▪️ Tver - the "Tvernefteprodukt" oil depot, one of the key fuel storage and transshipment facilities in the region, was on fire.

▪️ Mikhailovsk - attack drones hit the "Lukoil-Yugnefteprodukt" oil depot, after which a fire broke out on its territory.

▪️ Rostov region - Azov came under attack. Local residents reported explosions and the operation of Russian air defense systems.

▪️ Temporarily occupied Luhansk region - in Sorokino, an ammunition depot was reportedly hit and subsequently detonated.

▪️ Temporarily occupied Crimea - near the village of Glazivka, satellites detected a fire near an air defense/radar station position.

▪️ In addition, the NASA FIRMS service detected new thermal anomalies in the waters of the Azov Sea, which may indicate the destruction of targets near the coast of occupied Crimea.

Ukraine Has Struck at Least Six Major Russian Missile Production Plants Since March

Unable to fully shield its skies from Russian ballistic missiles, Ukraine has begun a systematic campaign to destroy the capabilities that make those missiles possible.

Illia Kabachynskyi  |  Jul 09, 2026  |  12:25


Over the past 10 days alone, three Russian facilities involved in producing the Iskander-M tactical ballistic missile system have come under attack. Combined with strikes on other electronics manufacturers over the past five months, a clear pattern has emerged: dismantling the supply chain that supports Russia’s missile production.

Strikes on Russian missile manufacturing facilities
This spring, Ukraine began implementing a new strategy: targeting the factories that manufacture electronic components for Russian missiles.

- In early March, Storm Shadow missiles struck the Kremniy EL plant in Bryansk, where components for Russian missiles were produced.

- In mid-May, another strike hit Zelenograd in Russia’s Moscow region, home to a significant share of the country’s defense research and manufacturing base.

- Then, on June 12, Ukraine struck VNIIR-Progress in Cheboksary, a facility that manufactures CRPA antennas used in Shahed drones, Iskander missiles, and guided aerial bombs (KABs). This is a critical component because it enables these weapons to maintain navigation even in the presence of electronic warfare interference.

Each of these strikes followed the same logic: rather than trying to intercept every missile already in flight, reduce the number of missiles that can be launched—and degrade their effectiveness. This is especially important when it comes to ballistic weapons. Ukraine does not have enough interceptor missiles for its Patriot air defense systems to counter Russian Iskander and other ballistic missiles.

Three Russian factories in ten days
In the past two weeks, Ukrainian strikes have focused on facilities that form part of the production chain for one specific weapons system: the Iskander-M.  .  .

$30m for Putin

$10m for contractors
$30m for aircraft.

Russia will have to choose between feeding its own people or letting them starve while they set their fuel priorities on killing Ukrainians.

🌾⛽️"The situation is critical." Russia faces grain harvest losses due to diesel shortages.

The 2026 harvest is turning into a nightmare for Russian farmers, who are facing diesel fuel shortages, restrictions on sales, and rising prices.

The shortage of diesel fuel for combines and other equipment is particularly acute in key southern regions—Rostov Oblast, Krasnodar Krai, and Stavropol Krai—which account for a fifth of the total grain harvest, Forbes reports, citing market participants.

Meanwhile, gas stations have limits of 100 or 200 liters per user, while a single combine harvester consumes up to 300 liters of fuel per shift.

Putin reportedly rejected his own advisers’ proposal to freeze the war along the current front line.

Despite Russia’s mounting losses, fuel crisis and Ukrainian deep strikes, he remains determined to seize the rest of Donbas by force.

Putin Rejected Frontline Ceasefire Proposal, Rebuked Advisers – Reuters

In brief: Reuters reported that Vladimir Putin rejected advisers' proposal to freeze the war along the current front line and is preparing for further escalation, while Czech President Petr Pavel warned Russia could announce mobilization after September's parliamentary elections.

Kyiv Post  |  July 9, 2026, 4:55 pm


Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected a proposal from his own advisers to halt the war along the current front line and instead reprimanded them, as he remains determined to continue fighting despite mounting pressure inside Russia, Reuters reported, citing three Kremlin-linked sources.

According to two sources, Ukraine’s recent long-range drone strikes on Russian oil refineries, ports, and fuel infrastructure have strengthened Putin’s resolve rather than pushing him toward negotiations.

One source who regularly meets Putin said he had “dug in his heels” to achieve his key objective of capturing the remainder of Ukraine’s Donbas region.

The same source told Reuters that Putin recently rebuked a group of advisers who suggested freezing the conflict along the current front line as the basis for a ceasefire.

Another source said Putin believes Russian forces will eventually seize the rest of Donbas and is therefore unwilling to compromise.

The sources added that there is a “high probability” that Russia will escalate the war in the coming months rather than move toward peace negotiations.

Their comments contradict recent statements by US President Donald Trump, who said after speaking with both Putin and President Volodymyr Zelensky that ending the war was “closer than people realize.”

Responding to Reuters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov insisted Russia remained open to a peaceful settlement but said Moscow had “enough capability to act independently and continue the special military operation,”  .  .  .

Iryna is also the first among its pilots to have a confirmed hit on a Russian drone operator.

And still no sign of surrender.

It is clear that Putin will drag his whole country down before he ever admits it was a mistake, and Zelensky will gladly enable him to allow himself to stay in power.

Russian Crew Abandons T-72 Tank Due to Lack of Fuel. Ukrainian Troops Turn It Against Moscow

Russian troops abandoned a working T-72 tank on the battlefield during a retreat after it simply ran out of fuel, Ukraine’s 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Air Assault Forces reported on July 9.

The trophy tank was captured by soldiers of the 81st Separate Airmobile Slobozhanska Brigade without a single shot being fired.

According to Ukrainian paratroopers, the Russian crew fled the combat vehicle after it stalled while they were trying to escape a Ukrainian advance.

“This T-72 tank is special—it is a trophy. And our guys got it without firing a single shot. All because the fuel gauge in the Russian vehicle hit zero,”  .  .  .
