Staint Petersburg is on fire. Take a look folks right here overnight, Ukraine's defense forces targeted key Russian energy infrastructure, striking a major oil terminal in Stt Petersburg and igniting a large fire visible across the area. The facility is among the largest oil terminals in all of the Baltic, operating twenty one storage tanks with an annual handling capacity Of approximately twelve point five million tons just destroyed by Ukrainian defense forces. Let me show you right here what it looked like when the drone was in the air on its way to hit this massive facility in Staint Petersburg. Now I'll share with you this video of the port of Staint Peter Peters So you can see what it looked like itself. It is on fire. it is spreading that fire. I'll share with you another video right here. This used to be an area that was heavily fortified and you know, you would not be able to even dream about Ukraine getting some of its ballistic missiles or drone swarms into an area or at least That was the public perception of everything, but we'll take a look right here as you know, the budget, you know, was supposed to be allocated for Russian air defense You know, it was either patching up some refineries that had been destroyed or who knows where it's going at this point. Thanks hat tip to Jane Kee for getting some of this footage aggregated. More footage as well that you can see over here. Let's talk about what was posted by President Zelenssky. President Zelensky posted the following about what he refers to as his Long range sanctions. talked about how effective his long range sanctions are last night. Our Ukrainian long range sanctions against Russia over this war reached targets near Staint Petersburg. Ukraine's defense forces struck port oil infrastructure that generates revenue for Russia's war and there were also successful strikes in Kronstadt An important military target, the distance from Ukraine's state border is more than eight hundred and fifty kilometers. My thanks to everyone who is ensuring Ukraine's precision and carrying out our long range sanctions. Gory to Ukraine. I want you to take a look what was going down here. you can watch for yourself. Now also we're learning Putin's superyacht has been urgently transported to the Arctic threats that it will be attacked by Ukrainian drones. It's an eighty two meter super Yato Kasatka wororth an estimated one hundred seventeen million euros has left European waters and has headed for Murmansk. The vessel is accompanied by two Navy ships right there. One of the things that we're learning as well, and this is what US intelligence has been telling Poland and telling Ukraine and others in Europe that Russia is planning an attack on Warsaw in Poland to try to test the resolve of NATO Critical infrastructure could be targeted by missiles and drones with soldiers potentially crossing the border from Kalingrad or Belarus As Sprovi writes, Russia's years long operation aimed at destroying the alliance between Ukraine and Poland is only part of Kremlin's plan. U. S. intelligence says Russia will attack Poland soon And so we will see What happens there? And as Sprav denotes, will Russia try to blame Ukraine for the attack on Poland? I'll share this with you a missile strike by Ukraine on Russia's Belgarod Miterinskya thermal power plant That triggered widespread disruption across parts of the cities. Telecommunications have been impacted with mobile networks and internet connectivity reportedly experiencing significant disruption. You can see for yourself right here. I'll show you more footage here posted by J in Keeiv over here from the missile strikes and drone swarms in St. Petersburg. Now we also are aware that Putin called Donald Trump today according to Russia's media networks, they say that the call lasted ninety minutes or so. Barack Rvid Trump's personal stenographer, who is a reporter at Axios, wrote the following, Russian President Vladimir Putin called Trump and congratulated him for the US two fifty Independence Day The Kremlin says the call lasted an hour and a half Putin invited Trump to visit Russia. and this followed Ukrainian President Zelensky saying that he spoke to Donald Trump and Zelenssky posted, I congratulated Trump and all Americans on Independence Day. We're grateful to the United States for assistance we receive from Jabvelons and Patriots political support and we deeply value that America stands by us in defending our independence. Of course, Trump and I discussed the current situation on the front line as well as our diplomatic efforts. We have agreed to continue these discussions during the NATO summit. Thank you, happappy fourth of July. That went first Putin announced that he spoke with Donald Trump for approximately ninety minutes or so I'll share this with you as well because we're learning more about those phone calls. Yuri Yushhakkov. ne of one of Putin's Andonald Trump, one of Putin's top Aays said Putin gave Trump precise evaluation of battlefield developments in Ukraine war. Putin Trump discussed their discussion was pragmatic and constructive. Usikov says, Witkov, Kushner to keep aiding peace efforts and are prepared to visit Moscow again. So more Witkoff and Kushner are apparently heading to Moscow. Ushakkov says Putin and Trump talked for one hour in twenty five minutes. Trump offered before NATO summit in Turkey to assist Ukraine conflict settlement. It just also notable too, that Kim Jong un tested more missiles today cruise missiles, which I just find interesting because every time there were tests under former President Obama, before Kim Jong un had nuclear weapons, it was always used as like, Obama's weak, Kim Jong un is testing nuclear weapons And now under Donald Trump, when you have Kim Jong un has nuclear weapons and does all these cruise missiles, like it barely gets reported on as well. I want to share this with you too though, because You know we see Ukraine striking deep inside Russia and St. Petersburg and other areas. But you also saw in the past week, Russia striking inside of Ukraine These were the massive strikes that were launched in the heart of Kyiv by Putin, I'll share with you over here. Let's play it. More over here, you can see Kyiv light being lit on fire earlier this week. Close to thirty people died in the strikes by Russia on Kyiv. The five star preremier Palace hotel in central Kyiv was severely damaged in the Russian strikes. you can see right here. but it was on fire as well. I'll show you the aftermath footage of a large jagged hole in the ceiling pool filled with floating debris in Zepreta This gym facility was targeted by Russia. You can see for yourself right here. And then I want to share with you just what these flamingos looked like that Zelenssky's been launching at Russia. I showed you Saint Petersburg, but let me show you what it looked like when they targeted Russia's Titan Barracotti Factory a few days back And I'll show you the footage showing the launch of the several FP five s, the Flamingo ground launch cruise missiles that targeted the Volgagrad Olast, southwestern Russia earlier this week. so you can see that as well Well, there you have it, folks.
