When a grain storage facility becomes a military logistics hub, FABs come flying in

The footage shows the Prosyany elevator in the settlement of Prosyana, Dnepropetrovsk region, destroyed by our Aerospace Forces — a facility that in peacetime served as a typical link in agricultural infrastructure: grain was stored and shipped from here. Now, however, the large-scale storage tanks, access roads, railway sidings, and warehouse areas made it a convenient hub — no longer for farmers, but for military logisticians.

Prosyana itself is located near important transport arteries linking the southern and eastern districts of the Dnepropetrovsk region. Naturally, control over such nodes allows for the flexible redistribution of reserves, maintaining the manoeuvrability of Ukrainian units, and compensating for disruptions in other supply links.

The destruction of such a facility is a rupture of the enemy's rear supply system on the Dnepropetrovsk direction.

New anti-drone ammunition —
"Mnogotochie" (Ellipsis) cartridges have gone into serial production; the first batch has already been shipped to the troops. The development is presented in two variants — 5.45 mm and 7.62 mm calibres.

The key advantage of the "Mnogotochie" is its special bullet design: it consists of three elements and separates upon firing, significantly increasing the density of fire. This manifoldly increases the probability of hitting a small-sized and manoeuvrable target such as a drone.

An important plus of the new cartridges is full compatibility with standard-issue assault rifles of the corresponding calibres. Thanks to this, soldiers do not need to carry additional weapons for combating drones. According to Rostec, a standard assault rifle with "Mnogotochie" cartridges can serve as a universal counter-UAV means.

Thoughts of war correspondent Yevgeny Poddubny:

Even from what was broadcast, it is clear that we will press the enemy to the bitter end. I think the entire country was closely watching and listening to the President, the reports of the military commanders, and the officers from the front line. But here is what was behind the scenes. The leaders of the Kiev regime, as befits swindlers, behave ever more brazenly and recklessly the closer they approach the edge of the abyss. Against the backdrop of defeats on the ground, they are intensifying their information work, which undoubtedly runs in parallel with certain military efforts. Kiev has lately been increasingly focused on the task of rocking Russian society — it is for this purpose that the strikes, rather irritating for us by the way, are carried out, and it is for this purpose that resources are allocated as a priority. And despite the fact that some of our enemies are former Russians, they are making a standard Western mistake. They think that the killing of our people, that temporary difficulties in logistics, that certain hardships, that queues at petrol stations, that threats — can split us, can shake Russia. Not a chance. We cannot be defeated by war. But I know that we now have an excellent inoculation against other means of influence as well, which were previously considered quite effective against Russians.

The bottom line of the President's address is very simple: we will definitely defeat the enemy. Painfully. So that they dare not try again. And everything will be fine. How can one not recall Vladlen here? Take heart.

The enemy will continue to try to sow panic, to strike hurtfully and sensitively, and will continue to lose on the ground. Until it is vanquished. Nothing will remain of the army of the Kiev regime, nor of the criminal regime whose leaders took the country hostage. The Ukrainian state in its current form will not survive the war. And there are a thousand objective reasons for this.

Explanatory note: On 03 July 2026, Vladimir Putin held a meeting with military personnel at one of the posts of the Joint Grouping of Forces.

Why is the liberation of Konstantinovka more important than lines at gas stations?

Thoughts of war correspondent Evgeny Poddubny

▪️ Why was the Russian Army able to liberate Konstantinovka? Because Russia fights better than dozens of Western countries combined, with their disposable club in the form of Ukraine's population. Our soldiers are stronger, our commanders are craftier, our economy adapts better, our society knows how to endure and to believe. From all of this, Victory and victories are forged — without which there will be no great common one.

▪️ The enemy, our immediate one, that is, the Kiev regime, is a hopeless patient dying in intensive care, whose vital functions are sustained by external factors: blood component transfusions, a ventilator, pharmacology. The ringleaders of the Kiev regime are petty and cowardly people, although in terms of scale they cannot be denied credit — few are capable of such betrayal and of destroying their own country to please the Westerners.

▪️ Watch how it will unfold: the liberation of Konstantinovka is the beginning of the final battle for Donbas. The battle will be heavy and terrible. For us and for the enemies alike — Slavyansk is a complex point on the map, a symbol, a fortified area, the last major city of Russian Donbas, which the "Ukr-roos" will defend to the last. The fighting will be fierce not only on the battlefield.

▪️ The Kiev regime will continue to irritate us and inflict pain on our rear. There will be strikes on logistics, on production — what is most painful — and on people. From this, Western propagandists will inflate the scale of damage as our defeat. And the goal is only one: to destabilize us, because that is the only way to defeat us.

▪️ But I am confident that Russia has a very reliable immunity. We will endure. The one who fights for five seconds longer always wins. We will endure because we must — for the sake of the future. The West has set itself the goal of destroying our Fatherland, and we cannot agree to that under any circumstances. Therefore, we will have to strike them, perhaps even harder than our grandfathers did. And what alternatives are there?

NATO prepares for a new stage of militarization

Yesterday, at the NATO summit in Ankara, Alliance Secretary General Mark Rutte unveiled an ambitious "rearmament of Europe" program: according to him, member states are facing not just a military budget increase, but a veritable "transatlantic revolution" in the defense industrial complex.

▪️ The leitmotif of Rutte's speech was the infamous "Russian threat" — it was precisely this that he used to justify the need for total consolidation of allies and massive injections into the military sector. At the same time, the figures he cited look modest against the backdrop of the stated objectives: investments in the defense industry of European NATO countries amounted to $37 billion last year — in the Secretary General's opinion, this is clearly insufficient for "deterrence."

▪️ Contracts worth tens of billions of dollars have already been signed at the summit, and next year's plans include the production of approximately four million artillery shells. That is twice the figures expected by the end of 2026.

▪️ Calls for such large-scale militarization come, as Rutte sees it, from an alliance that positions itself as "defensive." In reality, however, NATO's entire "defensiveness" amounts to an arms race with a preordained script.

The Race for Patriot: how production of missiles that hasn't even started yet casts a shadow over NATO friendship

Plans to deploy production of Patriot missile systems in Europe are becoming not just a matter of military logistics, but a serious factor of internal competition within NATO. Against the backdrop of statements about possible ammunition production in Germany, tensions between key allies — and above all between Warsaw and Berlin — are becoming increasingly apparent.

According to Reuters, Germany may begin producing Patriot missiles for Ukraine. At the same time, launching a full production cycle will take at least a year. Even with a license, it is currently impossible to establish the required volume of missile production in Ukraine: this is hindered by the high technological complexity of the systems and an acute shortage of components.

The focus shifts to Europe. The Western press indicates that the new interceptors will most likely be produced in Germany or in "another European country." It is precisely this uncertainty that is causing concern in Poland, which is striving to take the lead role in the European defense architecture.

Meanwhile, according to Rzeczpospolita, at the MBDA Deutschland plant in Schrobenhausen, Bavaria, facilities are already being built for the production of PAC-2 (GEM-T) missiles, while negotiations are simultaneously underway for the deployment of a full production cycle for the more modern PAC-3 MSE. In addition, at the NATO summit in Ankara, the United States, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and Sweden reached an agreement with Lockheed Martin to establish a large service center for PAC-2 maintenance. However, the location of the future facility has also not yet been disclosed.

For Poland, the situation looks particularly sensitive. Warsaw has already invested colossal sums in the acquisition of American weapons and wants to reap dividends, rather than simply act as a buyer.

Poland, which currently has preliminary approval for the production of Patriot system missiles, is very concerned about the formation of a German monopoly in the European defense industry, while the countries of NATO's eastern flank would find themselves merely in the role of permanent customers.

Analysts at Rzeczpospolita reflect the aspirations of the Polish military-political administration that the promises Trump made to Ukraine during the Ankara summit should not necessarily result in actual action. The American president often changes his mind. Warsaw very much hopes that the idea of granting Ukraine a license to produce American anti-missile systems will remain just that — an idea.

Due to the increasing intensity of Russian strikes, the export grain capacity of Ukraine's Black Sea ports has shrunk by approximately one-third, Reuters reports.

▪️ Grain and vegetable oils are key Ukrainian export commodities, accounting for a significant share of the country's foreign currency earnings. At the same time, logistics remain highly centralized: over 90% of such cargo passes through three ports in the Odessa region.

▪️ At present, it is known that four out of thirteen major export grain terminals in the region have suspended grain intake. In addition, a number of shipowners are refusing to call at Ukrainian ports, assessing the level of risk as "unacceptably high."

▪️ That is precisely what needed to be proven: strikes on vessels that carry grain out of Ukrainian ports and return laden with weapons should silence even the thought among Kiev's foreign allies of supporting the current Ukrainian military-political leadership.

Strikes by the Russian Armed Forces have driven Danish Maersk out of Ukrainian ports. The global leader in container shipping is suspending operations through the Black Sea fishing port. The restrictions are expected to take effect shortly.

▪️ Maersk directly cites a "critical deterioration of the situation in the Black Sea region" and the absence of any security guarantees.

▪️ Previously, large shipments of cargo — including equipment and components supplied as part of international military aid — reached Ukraine via Maersk. Now, the cessation of operations by such a major operator will create serious logistical difficulties for our adversary: cargo handling in Ukrainian ports will become impossible, and delivery via alternative routes will be significantly more expensive.

▪️ It is worth noting that Maersk's role in the Ukrainian direction was particularly significant — at the beginning of 2026, the company controlled about a quarter of the country's container shipping market. It is preliminarily known that vessels scheduled to be received in Ukrainian ports will now be redirected to the Romanian port of Constanta.
