Partisans of the "ATESH" movement set fire to a transformer substation in Saratov, Russia.

Now Putin's army faces logistical and communication issues. Power supply was completely disrupted at two base stations that served key industrial sites, including the GazPromMash oil refinery, Pirogroup factory, and a mobilization center used for coordination.

Trump just posted on Truth that he spoke with Erdogan about various issues, including Gaza, Syria and Ukraine. The closing line of the post was (IMHO) meant for Putin, after Russia refused to work with him.

"In any event, I look forward to working with President Erdoğan on getting the ridiculous, but deadly, War between Russia and Ukraine ended — NOW!"

Erdogan has played both sides of the conflict from the beginning. Trump has plenty of cards to play with Erdogan if he chooses. One of the biggest deals Trump could make would be to finally get the Qatar-Turkey pipeline deal done, since Russia/Assad were the primary barrier. Putin would give almost anything to stop that.
