A massive explosion from a secure site deep within Russia rocked the city if Izhevsk less than an hour ago, with rumors circulating about the origin and cause of the explosion. Russia is reportedly spending 4.5 Billion dollars on Shahed drones annually, and this is expected to be unsustainable. Europe is also preparing on sending around 1 Million artillery shells to Ukraine before the end of this year.

Crazy Z-Patriot tattooed his face to show everyone that he is the “real deal”. Many FSB Officers were “cleaned” recently. Russia lost a third of its fleet. Russians sabotage and attack their own comrades. Is this just a coincidence? Putin played himself. He faces the biggest dilemma of authoritarian regime. My own personal opinion about potential dismissal of General Valery Zaluzhny.

“Shahed drones”

FREEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!!

I’m all for the US giving the Ukrainians intel on Russian military production sites. And giving them the means to blow them up.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the seven-hundred-fourteenth day of the war.
Day 714: Feb 07
Today, there are a lot of updates from the Avdiivka direction.
But first of all, there are a lot of updates from Crimea. Today, Ukrainian Special Operations Forces units conducted a successful operation on the Russian oil rigs. Ukrainian special operators reported that Russian forces deployed a ”Neva-B” object detection radar system on the rig, which allowed Russian forces to better surveil the northwestern part of the Black Sea. Russians also used the object to stage attacks with Iranian-provided Mohajer-6 reconnaissance drones and guide Shahed drone strikes. Moreover, the mining platform was also used as a radar station to monitor surface vessels in the northwestern part of the Black Sea. Ukrainians seized the valuable equipment, mined the oil rig, and successfully detonated explosives from a safe distance.
Today, Russian sources also leaked a video filmed by the Russian air defense operators during the recent Ukrainian missile strike on Crimea. The video shows how Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles, one by one, fly right in front of the Russian air defense systems, causing a huge wave of criticism of the effectiveness of Russian air defense. Some Russian analysts claimed that the missiles were flying at a too close range to be shot down, while others presumed that Ukrainian drone strikes indeed destroyed a Russian radar station, rendering these missile launchers useless.
When it comes to the front lines, as expected, Russian forces did not slow down after a huge group of Russian soldiers that reached Sapronova Street at night got encircled and taken captive by the Ukrainians. Instead, the Russian command was emboldened by the fact that the so-called Death Valley between Avdiivka and Ivushka was crossed and decided to double down.
The situation is extremely tough. Ukrainian soldiers report that Russians conduct major assaults every twenty minutes. Moreover, Russian aviation is extremely active, and over the last eight hours, Russian dropped thirty-seven FAB-500 air-dropped bombs. On top of that, Russians started to actively engage heavy thermobaric artillery systems. As you can see, all this fire is concentrated right in the center of Avdiivka, where Russians are planning to advance. Such fire basically wipes everything out. Nonetheless, Ukrainian fighters reported that they stand their ground. Some say that withdrawing to the positions behind is useless anyway, as, under such pressure, new positions become exactly the same in a matter of minutes.
It seems like the fighting is so intense that neither party has the time to release geolocated combat footage. In fact, Ukrainian soldiers reported that they engaged all drone operators to counter this massive wave of attacks. Ukrainian drone operators are working with little to no sleep to rebuff Russian attacks and also help the infantry by communicating what they see from the sky.
A Ukrainian brigade spokesperson also stated that Russian forces started equipping some of their armored vehicles with electronic warfare systems to protect against Ukrainian drones. Even though such practices are still very rare due to the shortages of electronic warfare systems, this poses a significant threat. It would not be a big problem if Ukrainians had ample supplies of shells, however, as Ukrainian forces are increasingly rationing shells and trying to target masses of advancing Russian forces.
According to prominent Russian sources, Russians only managed to fully capture the first block of Independence Street. Prominent Ukrainian sources claim that the fights recently reached the bridge. The claims of the progress of other sources vary between these two benchmarks. However, all sources agree that the main direction of the Russian advancement is south-east. Russian sources claim that Ukrainians are frequently counterattacking, not allowing Russians to establish their positions, and achieved success on Kotsiubynskogo Street, which Ukrainian sources still mark under Russian control.
Avdiivka Military Administration Head Vitaly Barabash stated that the situation in the area is expected to continue being very difficult because Russian forces are trying to capture the town for political and informational reasons before the Russian presidential elections in March.

There are about 25 million ethnic Russians living in areas in areas once in the USSR that are not currently in the Russian Federation.
If Ukraine can force out its ethnic Russians by language mandates to make plum places for 100% Ukrainians, then all other areas might try to force out ethnic Russians.
The Russian Federation doesn’t have places in Moscow and Saint Petersburg for 25 million Russian ethnic refugees.
People in Moscow and Saint Petersburg hate the war probably, but they know that they’ll hate living doubled up in tiny apartments in a style that would shock even comrade Doctor Zhivago.

“ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men”
Matthew 6:5
Absolutely!
Pray without ceasing for Ukraine alone or together in gathered communities of faith.
“pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies.
Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify[a] you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
~ 1 Thessalonians 5:17-23

Take a look at a major US highway and the stream of cars. There are lots of such highways and maybe around 150 million motor vehicles in the USA.
Russian hydrocarbon production is quite comparable to that of the US. Imagine the power of those hydrocarbons if used to make explosives. Those hydrocarbons are available for Russian explosive manufacture because Europe refuses to buy them now and plans to eliminate hydrocarbon energy use.
“And ALWAYS maintain a holier than thou attitude.”
