“The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has confirmed a strike on PJSC Energia in the town of Yelets, Lipetsk region of the Russian Federation.

A hit on the target area was confirmed, with a series of explosions recorded. A fire broke out on the premises. Detailed information about the aftermath is being clarified.
PJSC Energia is one of Russia’s largest manufacturers of chemical power sources. The company is the only producer of batteries for guidance and correction modules used in aerial bombs.
The plant also manufactures batteries for the Iskander-M tactical missile system, sea-launched cruise missiles, and a range of universal power units used in power systems for specialized military equipment.
The shutdown of PJSC Energia could leave portions of Russian military equipment and weapons without critically important power supply components, the General Staff emphasized. They added that Ukraine’s Defense Forces continue focused strikes on key Russian military targets in an effort to force Russia to end its armed aggression against Ukraine.

Lithuania’s Foreign Ministry has summoned a representative of the Russian Embassy to deliver a note of protest regarding the war crimes being committed by Russia against Ukraine.
SOURCE:
Lithuanian Foreign Ministry in a statement, as reported by European Pravda
DETAILS:
On 27 May, the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry summoned the representative of the Russian Embassy and handed over a note of protest concerning the ongoing war crimes being committed by the Russian Armed Forces.
“Lithuania strongly condemns the killing of unarmed Ukrainian prisoners of war and the intensified attacks on Ukrainian cities with missiles and drones,” the statement said.
The Foreign Ministry emphasized that civilians, particularly children, are killed and seriously injured as a result of these attacks, and civilian infrastructure is destroyed.
“Lithuania reiterates that such actions are war crimes, they have no statute of limitations, and those responsible will eventually face justice,” the ministry stated.
Lithuania also noted that Russia’s refusal to declare even a 30-day ceasefire demonstrates its aggressive intent to continue the war it has unleashed and is effectively a rejection of international efforts to stop the killing of Ukrainian civilians.
“Lithuania will continue to support Ukraine’s efforts to defend itself from the aggressor,” the Foreign Ministry affirmed.
BACKGROUND:
Ukraine’s Air Force reported that on the night of 23-24 May, Russian forces launched 14 Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles and 250 attack drones on Ukraine.
The following night, on 24-25 May, Russia attempted to strike Ukraine with 367 aerial assets, including ballistic, cruise and air-to-surface missiles and drones. And on the night of 25-26 May, Russia deployed 364 aerial weapons, including cruise missiles and attack drones.
Regarding the killing of unarmed Ukrainian prisoners of war, Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence reported on 24 May that the number of executions of Ukrainian soldiers by Russian forces on the battlefield is increasing, with over 150 such cases recorded to date.
BACKGROUND:
On 25 May, US President Donald Trump condemned Russia’s latest attack on Ukraine and said he is considering imposing additional sanctions against Russia. On 27 May, he stated that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin is “playing with fire”.

Your favorite source, Davydov, lives in Switzerland. Does he push Switzerland?
Another one of the sources you use frequently, Warthog Defense, lives in Alabama. Is he pushing Alabama?
It doesn’t matter where a source is located. ALL your sources pertaining to the War Between the Slavs PUSH Ukraine or you wouldn’t use them.
More weasel tactics from “REVEREND”-mommy.

If you would take the time to read articles you would be bettr prepared to learn their very different reporting on Russia.
“More weasel tactics”
I don’t consider you a weasel.
I just now realize that without reading articles from different sites your projected assumptions are wrong.

So, I did feel is important to respond to clarify that I do NOT consider you a weasel.
.
However, I agree it is extremely important to acknowledge the article:
“Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that Russia and the United States “cannot agree on everything” after US President Donald Trump called Russian President Vladimir Putin “absolutely crazy” and criticized strikes on Ukrainian cities.”
