The agency is no longer reporting information on monthly production of diesel fuel, fuel oil, liquefied propane and butane, and coke and semi-coke produced from hard coal. The report also does not provide data on stable gas condensate production.

May 29 (Interfax) - The Russian Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) has stopped publishing statistics on gasoline production.
Given the current geopolitical situation, the disclosure of such information could be a reason for market manipulation by unscrupulous participants,” it said.

The army is already complaining about fuel shortages. Anonymous for now and very carefully
Against the backdrop of Ukrainian Armed Forces attacks on Russian oil depots, alarm bells are coming from the army. Some military officials claim that their units have had their fuel consumption limited. Including in the Northern Military District zone, where our guys carry out combat missions.
Off the record, familiar officers hint that the problem, for example, in Crimea, the DPR and the Zaporozhye region, arose after a series of attacks on oil depots in the Rostov region.
“We understand that there may be temporary restrictions. And in general, it is clear that you can always cut back. Once again the car won’t get to the alcohol market - that’s okay,” responded a familiar officer who serves in Dzhankoy.
Our interlocutor from Melitopol noted that there are no hard limits yet, but conversations are already underway.
“We work with personnel. We talk about the fact that fuel may be tight. We make additional reserves. All adults must understand. There are, of course, individual “uniques” to whom “the state owes everything.” But this is war, you need to understand,” said the channel source.
A Russian serviceman of the 30th Governor's Regiment with the call sign “Kupol” considers it extremely unfair that in Ukraine, a Russian soldier died for 200,000 rubles a month, while in his native Kursk region, he has to die for only some measly 34,000 rubles. “Kupol” does not understand what is going on and demands that this mess be sorted out immediately.

Have you noticed that after the Kursk breakthrough of the Ukrainian Armed Forces there were no purges in the Ministry of Defense?
A curious situation - after joining the Ministry of Defense, Andrei Belousov started serious personnel purges there. Naturally, through the hands of the FSB. The generals remaining on board had to either show their loyalty, or, at a minimum, not interfere with the implementation of serious reforms.
It is not yet possible to say much about Belousov’s reforms. And even in war conditions it is problematic to do this, but the detentions of generals have stopped. Now the army must master the offensive in the Donbass, as well as find its bearings and finally fight back in the Kursk region. On the last point, there is consensus that this will not happen in the coming weeks, since the scale of the problems is enormous.
At the same time, no one was held accountable even for the Kursk failure of the Russian Armed Forces. I would like to believe that for now. But judge for yourself - the Ukrainian Armed Forces invaded the territory of the Kursk region and captured more than 1000 sq km. our land. Conscripts died and hundreds of military personnel were captured. Who will answer? And there is no one to answer... And this is strange.
Perhaps Andrei Removich should look into the situation?

Purges among the generals resumed. We’re glad we were heard. But who will be punished for the Kursk region?
came out As soon as this post of ours, the purges among the generals resumed. Former Deputy Defense Minister Pavel Popov was detained.
What should we say about this?
First of all, we are glad that we were heard. After all, we not only wrote that the purges of generals involved in corruption had stopped. We also talked to several influential people and pointed out the problem to them. We repeat, we are glad that we were heard.
Secondly, Popov’s detention, as far as we know, infuriated Sergei Shoigu. “I thought he had calmed down. But no. But it’s okay, he will regret it,” the Security Council Secretary said in communication with people from his close circle. Obviously, Sergei Kuzhugetovich meant Andrei Belousov.
Thirdly, there is a bad point. According to our information, there are currently no plans to punish anyone for the failure in the Kursk region and for allowing the Ukrainian army to occupy part of our region. “Now is not the time,” the interlocutor surrounded by Belousov briefly said about this.
When will this time come? We would really like to hear the answer to this question.
Ukrainian F-16 jet destroyed in crash on Monday, WSJ reports
https://m.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-816976
A top Ukrainian pilot was killed when a US-made F-16 fighter jet crashed on Monday, just weeks after the long-awaited planes arrived in the country a Ukrainian military source told CNN.
The Ukrainian Defence Forces do not believe pilot error was behind the incident, the source added.
The pilot, Oleksiy Mes known as “Moonfish,” was killed in the crash while “repelling the biggest ever aerial attack” by Russia against Ukraine, said the source, adding that the pilot was buried on Thursday.
Oleksiy Mes known as “Moonfish,” was killed
The fire has already spread to six storage tanks and shows no signs of stopping.

6 storage tanks are now on fire.
“Rosstat has completely stopped publishing data on production of oil products”
Shortage of storage causing a little train wreck?
A peace deal was in reach just weeks into the #RussiaUkraineWar but the US and UK said no deal. This was a disaster for Ukrainians, who’ve now lost a generation of men with no end in sight.
Are we going to keep fighting this proxy war to the last Ukrainian, or dare to negotiate? pic.twitter.com/yAT2Ze61xV— Dr. Jill Stein🌻 (@DrJillStein) August 27, 2024

If that's the case, then it is probably GLOC (G induced Loss of Consciousness).
I wonder if their training included centrifuge training.
Training includes 9 Gs for 10 seconds and 8 Gs for 30 seconds.

“The article states “Pilot error”.”
Other reports that I have seen indicate that it was during the recent big wave of Russian missiles and drones, while the F-16s were up intercepting missiles deep over Ukrainian territory.
Explosions near Kerch right now.
Russians saying the F-16 was hit on the ground by drone or missile after returning to base in western Ukraine . Other Russians saying shot down by Ukrainian friendly fire.
Regardless of what happened, Russians launched the mass attack in daylight so they could see what the F-16’s would do in response.
Kyiv Independent reports:
"One of the F-16 fighter jets recently delivered to Ukraine crashed while repelling a Russian mass attack, Ukraine's General Staff confirmed on Aug. 29.
The confirmation came after earlier media reports that the aircraft crashed during Russia's drone and missile strike on Aug. 26.
According to the military, the F-16 shot down four Russian cruise missiles during the attack, demonstrating "high efficiency."
"During the approach to the next target, communication with one of the jets was lost. As it turned out later, the plane crashed, the pilot was killed," the General Staff said.
The crash site was not disclosed.
Earlier the same day, Ukraine's Air Force announced that pilot Oleksii Mes with the call sign "Moonfish" had been killed on Aug. 26.
"Oleksii destroyed three cruise missiles and one attack drone while repelling a massive Russian combined air and missile attack," the Western Air Command said.
Ukraine's Defense Ministry has established a special commission to investigate the causes of the crash."
