Day 1,620 of Ukraine's full-scale war, and day 4,546 of russia's aggression since Crimea and Donbas. Honor and glory to every Ukrainian defender standing against the Kremlin's invasion and risking everything to protect our country and Europe's security. Slava Ukraini

Last night, russia launched 20 missiles and dozens of drones at Kyiv, killing 9 civilians, including 3 children, and injuring more than 30 others. This is what the russians call "denazification."

🔥 A major fire has erupted at the Nizhnekamskneftekhim industrial complex in Tatarstan. Local reports say the blaze followed an explosion, possibly linked to an industrial failure after a wave of UAV attacks. Thick smoke is rising over the facility as the situation unfolds.

The "russian world" comes with a price tag. Moscow reportedly charges $780 just to process a russian passport application for residents of Transnistria, nearly 3 average monthly salaries. Oleg Tsaryov complaining that the Kremlin decided to monetize its own "compatriots" 🤡

Tatyana Kim suddenly discovered "terrorism" after strikes on Wildberries. Funny, she never seemed concerned when russia spent years destroying Nova Poshta terminals, shopping malls, civilian businesses, and homes across Ukraine. Empathy arrived only when the war reached her.

The Atlantic: Before leaving office, Fedorov lobbied Elon Musk to allow Starlink to support Ukrainian long-range drone strikes inside russia. Musk reportedly replied it would be possible "if Trump says so." The talks ended after Fedorov's dismissal.

russians withdrew another 620.9B rubles in cash in July, the biggest cash outflow on record. Over the past six months, 2.54T rubles have left the banking system. Even Sber admits cash withdrawals are becoming a major problem. Lovely.

"Ozone levels have exceeded critical limits due to a poor wild berry harvest," says Madyar. Wildberries warehouses are shutting down. OZON, you're up next.

Mergers & acquisitions postponed. Wildberries has frozen its investment program indefinitely and paused all acquisition talks. After Ukrainian sanctions over supporting russia's war and growing infrastructure problems, expansion is off the table. Survival comes first.

Overnight, drones struck Volgograd. So far, two key targets have been reported hit: 1. the 44,000 m² Wildberries distribution center 2. the LUKOIL Volgograd refinery, one of russia's largest. russian monitoring channels also report UAVs dropping munitions over the city.

Looks like Zelenodolsk has joined the list, locals report a strike on a Wildberries warehouse there.

There are also local reports that a Wildberries warehouse in Sarapul, Udmurtia, may have been hit.

"Annual inflation in russia is reportedly 5.94%, according to Rosstat." Did they accidentally publish putin's approval rating instead?

russia's fuel crisis is starting to hit independent gas stations. More than 170 filling stations are reportedly up for sale as small operators struggle with shrinking margins, expensive fuel from suppliers, and government pressure preventing them from raising prices.

The Carnegie Endowment says Ukraine has made russia's Black Sea Fleet functionally combat ineffective without destroying it. From controlling ~90% of the Black Sea in 2022, russia is now largely confined to waters near its own coast.

🎯 Fire Point just turned it into a game: guess the next Wildberries warehouse to go down and win official merch.

The inevitable is catching up. Another engine failure on a russian passenger jet. An S7 Airbus A320 returned to Novosibirsk after an engine fire warning, with reports of an in-flight fire. It's already the third serious engine-related incident since early summer.

🔥 Perm update: AVT-5 is burning. Another solid hit. Thanks to Exilenova for the fresh update!
