This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

Other officers were eliminated with Gudkov in Korenevo, Kursk. Bad day for Putin.
I am NOT arguing here that the illegals should stay. I am arguing that to not allow them to let family or friends know they are being taken away is cruel and unusual. In addition it creates a great deal of wasted effort and wage costs when family has to contact police, hospitals, etc. to find out what became of their family member or friend.
Russian natural gas exports this year continue to decline overall, despite Hungary buying a bit more through the TurkStream pipeline. They have not been able to make up for reductions due to the halt of exports through Ukrainian pipelines, or the new sanctions ban on transshipping LNG through Europe.
“Russia’s natural gas exports to Europe via pipeline and LNG cargoes declined in the first half of 2025 from a year earlier as flows via Ukraine stopped and some buyers shunned Russian LNG.
Total gas exports from Russia to Europe nearly halved to 8.33 billion cubic meters in the period January to June 2025, down from 15.5 billion cubic meters for the same period of 2024...
...year-to-date, Russian gas flows to Europe via the TurkStream route increased by 6.8% from a year earlier, per Reuters estimates...
...Russia’s total LNG exports also fell in the first half of the year, by 4.4% to 15.2 million metric tons, per data from LSEG quoted by Reuters. LNG exports to Europe slumped by 13% year on year, as an EU ban on Russian LNG transshipments came into effect in March. The EU banned transshipment of Russian LNG for re-export to third countries from EU ports as part of a sanctions package earlier this year.”
Has the Russian offensive around Sumy culminated already? Russia has still not expelled Ukrainian forces from Kursk and Belgorod. The whole Summer offensive looks like a bust foh Russia.
Ukrainian forces push Russian army away from Sumy, (Ukrainian) General Staff says
Kyiv Independent (30 June):
“Ukrainian forces have stabilized the situation in Sumy Oblast and pushed the Russian army further away from Sumy, the region’s capital, Ukraine’s General Staff reported on June 30.
Moscow launched its new summer campaign in May, aiming to push deeper into Ukraine’s northeastern and eastern regions and disregarding Kyiv’s calls for an unconditional ceasefire.
Ukrainian troops advanced near the village of Oleksiivka, located less than 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the city of Sumy, and liberated the village of Andriivka, which had been captured by Russia in early June, the statement read.
In the meantime, Ukraine also stopped the Russian advance along the Yunakivka-Yablunivka-Novomykolayivka-Oleksiivka-Kindrativka line and the border with Russia near Kursk Oblast, according to the General Staff.
Russia has deployed its best brigades on this section of the front line and is using long-range artillery, aircraft, and attack drones, the General Staff said.
“The Russian plan for an offensive in Sumy Oblast is not succeeding — thanks to every Ukrainian unit operating in the area,” Zelensky said after a meeting with the military leadership and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.

“More bad news for Russia”
China is eating the lunch of Russia’s steel industry. Russian steel production is declining, and Chinese imports are rising.

Gudkov reportedly droned by a Bayraktar TB2.
They gotta go now all of them. the rest is just hand-wringing. Life is tough and coddling them only breeds more of them and more hand-wringing. All go. Every last one, regardless of age sex etc. Gone.

Maybe the bad COMSEC theory is likely for identifying his coordinates, or an insider source - but I would like to start the rumor that a Ukrainian secret agent planted a tracker on/in him, like Heather Graham did to Fat Bastard, in the Austin Powers movie.

...many analysts argue the price cap has become less effective because Russia now largely reroutes its exports through a so-called “shadow fleet” of tankers that evade maritime oversight...
...Russia’s shadow fleet consists of approximately 500 (some estimate 700), mostly poorly insured and aging tankers that ship crude to countries such as India and China, in defiance of Western sanctions. These tankers, estimated to carry as much as 85% of Russia’s oil exports—which bring in a third of Russia’s export revenues—typically have opaque ownership structures and lack top-tier insurance or safety certification. Most belong to anonymous or newly formed shell companies based in jurisdictions such as Dubai, further complicating accountability.
The majority of shadow tankers sail across the Baltic Sea, a route considered critical for Russia’s energy exports. The shadow fleet uses various tactics to avoid detection, including ship-to-ship transfers in international waters, spoofed location data, and fake ship identification numbers. Some estimates suggest that approximately three shadow tankers carrying Russian crude pass through European waters each day, including the Danish straits and the Channel. Some experts estimate the shadow fleet may now include as many as 700 tankers.
However, Lithuanian National Security Advisor Kęstutis Budrys has highlighted the ambiguity surrounding the law on interdiction in international waters, warning that trying to stop the shadow fleet could risk an all-out military confrontation with Russia. Last week, a Russian fighter jet briefly entered Estonia’s airspace, in what some experts suspect was a reprisal for the Estonian military escorting a tanker named Jaguar out of the country’s economic waters. The Estonian navy acted quickly, believing the ship posed a threat to nearby underwater cables, and checked its status and registration. The Russian jet entered Estonian airspace without permission...
...”In the last four or five months of last year, we saw a roughly 10% decline in the amount of oil leaving from Russia,” Finnish Border Guard’s Head of Maritime Safety Mikko Hirvi told Reuters...
...A recent study found that limiting Russia’s shadow fleet may be more effective than simply lowering the oil price cap...
...In April report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) found that Russia’s shadow fleet is shrinking. According to the report, shadow tankers transported 65% of Russian crude exports in April, down from 81% in January. Russia’s fossil fuel export revenues declined 6% month-on-month to EUR 585 million per day in April, while export volumes rose marginally by 1%.”
