The wild berries logistical facilities it's like they're Amazon over there in Russia and Ukraine argues that the wild berries are used in order to build out Russia's military capabilities. Now let me show you this video. We've got coming in as well. It appears that Ukraine has a new variant of the Fp5 Flamingo.

β€œballistic that Ukraine has been able to develop. Take a look right here. It glides right there near”

tree top level. Let me show you what this looks like. Play this clip. Now late last night also multiple Ukrainian attack drones struck Russia's Belgorod state technical logical university. This is now being seen all throughout Russia's local channels. It hit a building there actually that housed Russian drone development, testing, and operator training. And this center suffered significant damage. Let me just show you the footage. Let's play it.

There's everything. There's everything. We can see it even if it's not visible. This is a high-quality device. You'll see how we can handle it. Now a number of fuel storage tanks at the Russian Black Sea port of Teman, our blaze. After an overnight Ukrainian strike as well, Ukrainian attack drones hit the Russian occupied Zoovsky power station in the Donetsk's Oblast at night setting. It ablaze.

Multiple Ukrainian attack drones slammed into Russia's Saratov oil refinery in the morning, setting that facility ablaze.

After a successful Ukrainian attack drone raid show you the b-roll over there, Ukrainian attack drones also hit Russia's Ufa oil refinery

overnight. This is the second strike on that same facility over the weekend. And then a series of

explosions rip through Russia's Nive-Nikompsk industrial zone in the evening, starting a major fire that you can see there. Here's the message from President Zelensky of Ukraine. Of course, we see every leader and every country reacting to the Russian strikes on Ukraine. We've been covering those here at the Midas Touch Network. Russia's been hitting Keev. Zaprecia, Leviv. Karkiv.

Other areas.

frankly, against Russia's ballistic missiles. Zelensky and Ukraine are able to strike down

Russia's drones often of the Shaheed variant from Iran. And even their cruise missiles, the ballistics, you need the interceptors in order to stop that. And that's exactly what the United States is intentionally depriving Zelensky. Even depriving them of the licenses. Zelensky goes on to say, but the only strong reaction in his fairer reaction that really achieves the goal and helps the people of Ukraine is additional support for us and our people.

β€œThere are Patriot missiles in the world. It's important that partners make this political decision,”

a decision to transfer the necessary package. The United States of America Trump knows

what we need in Europe. They know what we need. Anti-Bellistic missiles should protect people, not lie in warehouses. And every day of the absence of such appropriate assistance is important. It is an opportunity for Russia to kill people. Now, too, we need to react with additional sanctions. Let me show you this over here. The wild berries facility hit by Ukrainian drones in Novus Minkin. Here, play this clip.

A convoy of fuel trucks near primorsk, which were transporting to fuel a Crimea. I also want us to give a hat tip to Max 26, Kershahn Kat,

Jay from Key. They do such a good job aggregating all of this open source intelligence stuff

β€œthat I don't think we're seeing anywhere else on corporate news or anywhere. I think it's important”

that you see firsthand what's going on right now. Now, Zalinsky said the following two, we continue applying our long-range sanctions against Russian facilities that serve the war effort and finance the aggression. We could play this as a b-roll while I'm reading this. Last night in Russia's Saratav, more than 600 kilometers from the front line, two strategic facilities were hit. The Saratav oil refinery and the Engels Military Air Base. In the Kaluga region, the tank farm

of the Lajudnvatskaya oil depot was hit. In the Breyansk region, our warriors carried out a precise strike on a site used to store prepared launch attack drones. Thank you to all the warriors of Ukraine's defense forces. We are expanding our long-range capabilities in delivering precise results. In Ukraine, Zalinsky refers to long-range sanctions as the drones. The Ukrainian long-range drones, FP1, FP2 and those FP-fly femingos and that new variant I showed you at the

outset of the FP-5, FP-5, they called the Flamingo. Zalinsky also posted this week, 16 of our regions were under attack from Russia. During that time alone, the Russians launched around 1900 drones, nearly 1,600 aerial bombs and 144 missiles of various types, including ballistic missiles. Today, sumu is struck by aerial bombs. In Brovery, one person was killed in a drone strike and six people were injury. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Carquiv and Carquiv region remain

under constant attack. Over night, Russia struck the Odessa's Aprecia and Dneepro regions. This week, more than 1500 sites have been damaged, including hundreds of ordinary residential buildings.

A significant number of Russian enterprises working to sustain these attacks ...

for drones and missiles and guided aerial bombs have still not been sanctioned. That is why the

aggressor is investing more and more in its ballistic weapons capabilities and is trying to ramp up production. Pressure is needed in every segment of Russia's defense industrial complex. Zalinsky says over there as well. In addition, Zalinsky posted the following message. Today, the air force is much more than just one branch of the military. It is a component of our defense that in many ways truly shapes the course of this war. Ukrainians did not surrender and will not surrender their

skies to Russia. This is one of our nation's greatest achievements. Throughout this full-scale war, we did not allow our air force to be destroyed and have built it up to the point where Russia

β€œregularly loses its aircraft. And now when the only thing the last thing Putin has left to bet on”

is his massive attacks against Ukraine. The air force, our combat aviation is destroying Russian cruise missiles and trying to destroy ballistic missiles as well. And when our Patriot batteries are in empty, it succeeds. And it is important that thanks to our cooperation with Europe, our iris T Hawk and the Nassum systems are operating. Every day, we fight to secure missile supplies for them. And I am grateful for our partners around the world that are helping us with that.

Of course, ballistic missiles remain a challenge. But we have provided Ukraine with protection against a significant share of cruise missiles. And we are shooting down a great many. Our interception rate against attack drones is also above 90% and that's truly a significant achievement for Ukraine for all of us for every one of you. I thank all of you. All of those gathered here today, every manwoman defending Ukraine's skies who despite fighting what is in reality an unequal battle

and lacking sufficient means to bring down enemy targets accomplish the incredible

go beyond the maximum. You have shown the world your skill and proven that Ukrainians are capable

β€œof overcoming anything and we honor you as well. So remember the reporting earlier this week,”

reporting from our last week, heading into this week. Donald Trump, few weeks back, interkey promises a lanski interceptors. Interceptor licenses at the very least, taps the lanski along. Zelensky shows up in Washington. Trump doesn't do the oval office press conference with Zelensky as he normally does, right? Instead, we then learn through financial times. Donald Trump says to them first, I'm not going to do the interceptors and not going to do

the interceptors. I'm not going to do interceptor licenses and we'll just have to see also if we'll give Zelensky access to Starlink for the purpose of shooting down the ballistic launchers in Russia. And then we saw Donald Trump and camp. David also talk about not giving Zelensky the

β€œinterceptors, because Trump says if we give him the license even, what if they turn against us?”

And then they want to go to war against us. So we can trust him with that. And Trump's like, you know, it's kind of like the Nvidia chip, the Nvidia chip. We don't just give that to anybody. It's classified. We do. You gave it to the UAE. You gave a version of it, not the black one. You gave the black well to UAE. That's the most classified. It is. And of course, the ones that the UAE has it, they're going to give it to China. And it's like, no, Ben, the Trump regime has safeguards.

They'll make sure China doesn't get the black one. What are you talking about? These are the reflecting pool people. This is Donald Trump who has imaginary conversations with himself about doing deals with Iran. John happening. You expect they're going to put the safeguards to prevent UAE from giving China capabilities of the black well chip. Come on. And then Donald Trump gave China the Nvidia second big, the second chip. That's highly classified. Not the black. Well,

but one that's pretty serious as well. There you have it folks. We'll keep you posted every damn step of the way here
