Such posts have been very common in the Russian infosphere lately; perhaps Russians are beginning to realize that official reports are simply lies.

Vyacheslav Gladkov reported that the windows of 15 apartments in the multistory building and 20 cars in the parking lot in front of it were damaged by "falling debris from the downed drone." Now it's clear that this was a lie."

However, from this perspective, it was impossible to determine whether it had struck the building or shot down a drone that was flying low between buildings.

Because the missile exploded near the building—as is typical for an anti-aircraft missile near its target—and not directly at the building, serious damage and casualties were avoided. The same missile's flight is visible in a video previously published by Pepel.

The video shows the missile exploding as planned near the building, creating a cloud of debris. There were no drones near the building at the time—only the light from the missile in flight is visible in the video before the explosion.

"Pepel publishes an exclusive video proving that an anti-aircraft missile struck a multi-story building in Old Oskol on October 7th. The governor of the Belgorod Oblast lied, claiming it was "shrapnel from a downed drone."

Yesterday, a video appeared showing a Russian anti-aircraft missile hitting a high-rise building in the Russian city of Old Oskol. And here's a very interesting post on the subject by Z-blogger "Yasinovataya":

The Moscow Stock Exchange index has recently lost 4.2% and fallen below 2,600 points, which is clearly the lowest level this year and continues to plummet. 😁

I have attached charts of Russian territorial gains this year, according to Deep State it is 3119 km2, and according to Z-Blogger Creamy Caprice it is 3533 km2

That's why air defense is so important to counter Russia's terror. Hence my frequent posts on the effects of subsequent Russian airstrikes. Please realize that maintaining the efficiency of the Ukrainian energy sector is just as important as maintaining the front line!

they holds back RuAF units that fight only for money. This is precisely what Russia wants to change: they want to deprive Ukraine of electricity, gas, and food, which will lead to social protests and a decline in the morale of Ukrainian soldiers, which could ultimately lead to Ukraine's surrender.

This awareness allows them to focus on the war effort, because they know who they're fighting for and what threatens their loved ones if the Russians break through the front line. This is precisely what keeps the morale of Ukrainian soldiers high and, thanks to it,

Therefore, they want to ensure that these families are relatively safe, that they live in heated apartments, have access to all utilities and essential food, and that they don't have to lead the kind of lives I posted yesterday from Shostka.

Anyone interested in military affairs knows that morale is paramount in war. The guys in the trenches near Pokrovsk, Kostiantynivka, or Kupyansk are fighting for their families, who live in a part of Ukraine not yet ravaged by war.

However, the Russian command is aware of the actual situation on the frontline, which is why it has launched massive air attacks on the Ukrainian energy sector (as I've written about more than once) and, most recently, on the food sector. bsky.app/profile/theu...

❗️Russia struck the plant of the largest hummus producer in Ukraine: its supply to stores has been stopped.

They began to destroy the Ukrainian commodity and food business…

while on the frontline, we're essentially dealing with a war of attrition. Of course, Putin lives in a different reality and encourages everyone to believe that Russians have captured two-thirds of Kupyansk, are making huge gains on the frontline, and have occupied 5,000 square kilometers this year

For several weeks now, I've been focusing much more on news about Russian attacks on Ukrainian hinterlands than on events on the frontline. Perhaps I can briefly explain why this is happening. Firstly, the AFU is effectively halting the long-announced Russian offensive,

Just a reminder that after the air attacks by Russian terrorists, life in Shostka looked just like in the attached photos.

Currently, 33,000 subscribers in Shostka are receiving full gas. Gas supplies have also been restored to the surrounding towns of Bohdanka, Obrazhiivka, Kovtunovy, Myronivka, Krupec, and Shkyrmanivka." 👍💪👌

Good news before bed: "After a day of emergency work, gas supplies in Shostka, which were lost after the occupiers' attack, have been restored.

Apparently, the Russians have likely realized that they cannot destroy the Ukrainian energy sector and are seeking to destroy the gas sector, thereby overloading the energy sector, which will ultimately lead to a blackout.😡

According to experts, this will lead to a series of long power outages across Ukraine.
The authorities in Kyiv are concealing the scale of the destruction, fearing panic and a social outburst on the eve of the heating season."

according to preliminary calculations, fuel supplies to residential buildings may be limited to three hours a day.
This, in turn, will create a colossal burden on nuclear power plants, which will be forced to compensate for the power outage.

However, as the well-informed Z-Blogger "INSIDER-T" reported yesterday: "Informed sources claim that the Russian Aerospace Forces will implement this plan until the end of autumn. A catastrophic gas shortage is expected by early December:
