Story Timeline
9 days · 11 summary articles
Ukrainian drone strikes targeted a major oil refinery and a Wildberries warehouse in Russia's Ryazan Oblast on the morning of July 29, according to reports by eyewitnesses and open-source monitoring channels. The Ryazan Oil Refinery, owned by Rosneft, is one of the largest in Russia, producing 17.1 million tons of oil per year and accounting for roughly 5% of the country's total processing output. The strikes resulted in fires at both facilities, with six people hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, as reported by regional Governor Pavel Malkov.
In the Belgorod region of Russia, three people were killed and 19 injured in drone attacks on July 29. The attacks targeted civilian sites, including a bus, according to regional authorities. The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the attacks, stating that Ukraine is targeting public transport to retaliate against civilians due to growing defeats at the front.
In Ukraine, Russian forces launched a combined attack on the Mykolaiv region using drones and guided aerial bombs, injuring four people and damaging an industrial facility, residential buildings, and port infrastructure.
Russia has dismissed complaints from Romania about airspace violations by Russian drones and has threatened to respond to the expulsion of a Russian diplomat by Bucharest. Meanwhile, Russia is considering arming grain ships with machine guns and missile launchers to counter Ukrainian drone attacks in the Sea of Azov. Some vessels may also be escorted by soldiers during parts of their voyages.
The ongoing conflict has led to a surge in electric and hybrid car sales in Russia due to a nationwide fuel shortage caused by attacks on oil infrastructure. Ukraine has also revealed home-built guided bombs with turbojet engines, showcasing its evolving military capabilities.
In June, the Ukrainian military placed orders through Brave1 Market for drones, ground robots, and electronic warfare equipment totaling a record 5 billion hryvnias.

It seems that Russian journalist Kashevarova was triggered by FirePoint head Shtilermans statement that Ukraine will be able to strike Moscow, and decided to respond that "she wont run away, even if she dies." Because, believe it or not, she is Russian and possesses the Russian spirit. True, she later mentions that she doesnt have the money to run away anyway, but she does have the true spirit. You can appeal to historical events and tear quotes out of context from your own classics all you want, but you cant ignore reality forever. Russia attacked Ukraine and is now getting a response.
