• 📝Gaining momentum📝
Ukrainian gas stations burning

Since so-called Ukraine receives imported fuel directly "off the wheels," a campaign of strikes against gas stations was inevitable. And it is already underway in full force, gradually gaining momentum.

In the last week of June, the frequency of drone attacks on such facilities increased significantly — over the last eight days alone, objective data confirms the destruction of over 70 gas stations in territory controlled by the Kyiv regime.

🔻What does the statistics tell us?

▪️The overwhelming majority of strikes were delivered by drones from the Geran family, while recently there has been a noticeable increase in the use of remote-controlled Geran-4 Seeker modifications equipped with an auto-guidance system.

▪️The most massive strike against gas stations fell on Kharkiv Region. The largest number of strikes was recorded in Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy Regions.

▪️In addition to new strikes, information about previous ones is emerging, so the total number of destroyed facilities for the month has also increased. At the same time, an important caveat should be made: some information about gas stations comes exclusively from representatives of the enemy and requires additional verification.​

Still, it is important to distinguish between an attacked and a destroyed gas station. A fire on the canopy or external damage to a pump does not mean the facility is out of service, and equipment replacement is not that difficult, especially in rear regions.

At the same time, some tanks are buried, which seriously complicates their detection and guaranteed destruction on the first pass. If this fact is not taken into account, one can suddenly see an attacked gas station back in operation a week later.

❗️A visible effect with "fuel isolation" of front-line enemy cities and serious economic problems for gas station networks can only occur with a systematic approach, with planning and regular strikes on targets in designated zones.

A major help in this matter could come from raids on the many surviving oil depots in Dnipropetrovsk or Odesa Regions. Then the results of strikes on gas stations would become immediately noticeable even on the scale of major Ukrainian cities on the left bank of the Dnipro.

• 📝Battle for Kostyantynivka📝

Units of the "South" grouping occupy the remaining quarters of Kostyantynivka in heavy fighting. The large city has not become an insurmountable obstacle for Russian forces. Since managing to establish a foothold in the built-up area, assault groups have methodically drawn themselves into the urban environment and step by step pushed the enemy westward.

➡️We have repeatedly noted that success is largely ensured by well-thought-out and consistent work on disrupting enemy logistics. The count of destroyed armored vehicles runs into the hundreds of units, while the number of destroyed personnel carriers has exceeded several thousand. The battle for Kostyantynivka lasted nearly a year: the first forward groups reached the outskirts back in September 2025.

➡️Apparently, by July 2026, a full liberation of Kostyantynivka will be announced. Meanwhile, forward detachments of the Russian Armed Forces are already advancing toward Aleksiyevo-Druzhkivka. For now, this is related rather to reconnaissance group operations, and there is no talk of full control.

In a broader sense, Kostyantynivka serves as a gateway to the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk-Druzhkivka urban area. The city is particularly important as a springboard for advancing northwest through the built-up area to Aleksiyevo-Druzhkivka, then to Druzhkivka and further to Kramatorsk.

❗️As one can easily see, in the case of the DNR, the enemy is betting on fortress cities, turning even relatively large populated areas into fortified bastions surrounded by defensive works, and eagerly promotes them in Western media.

However, it is precisely through such cities that breakthrough operations are now somewhat easier: the concept of a "drone wall" is more effective in open terrain, but in dense urban areas assault groups can maneuver covertly and accumulate forces before then winning territory in rifle combat.

📌While the enemy's continued presence at Ivanivske (Krasnoye) and on the outskirts of Chasiv Yar to some extent slows down the liberation of Kostyantynivka, ultimately Ukrainian formations will find themselves here, on tactically advantageous heights, but in a semi-encirclement — with a quite predictable outcome.

#NEWS | 🇩🇪 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 — Germany Charges Ukrainian National in Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage Case

German federal prosecutors have formally charged a Ukrainian national, identified as Serhii K., with being an accomplice to a war crime and other offenses related to the 2022 explosions that damaged three of the four Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea.

The 50-year-old former Ukrainian army officer is accused of leading a team of up to seven people in the operation, which involved using a sailing yacht to place explosives on the civilian energy infrastructure. Prosecutors allege the attack was carried out on behalf of Ukrainian state authorities to disrupt Russian gas supplies.

Serhii K. was arrested in Italy in August 2025 and extradited to Germany in November 2025, where he remains in pre-trial detention. He has denied any involvement.

This marks the first time the high-profile case has been brought to court in Germany. Evidence cited by prosecutors includes intercepted communications.
