All these Ukrainian cities were destroyed by russians. All the Ukrainian people killed in these cities were killed by russians. All the homes burned were burned by russians.

It is not Putin, but russian people who have committed these crimes.

🔥🔥 BREAKING: A major fire is burning at Moscow’s Kapotnya oil refinery following reports of a Ukrainian drone strike.

The facility is Moscow’s only oil refinery and has a capacity of roughly 280,000 barrels per day.

Another significant hit to Russia’s already strained refining system.

🔥 The defense forces massively attacked Moscow and the Moscow region: one of the largest oil refineries, CHP-22, which supplies electricity to a large part of the region, and a warehouse were hit.

❗️Strikes were also reported in Voronezh, Ryazan, and Dagestan.

So, given that Ukraine managed to achieve this despite having virtually no air force - lacking, for instance, the operational capability to fly over Russian territory, I have told the Russians (partly as a deterrent): "Watch out, because we have more combat aircraft than you do."

This is a great short (4 item) thread on #cybersecurity #stuxnet #ukraine and #geopolitics but the above @lemonde.fr article also details a false AI generated report that almost caused US to board a CN ship. OTOH I guess it's possible that wasn't just an error, but insecure AI - more #cyberwarfare.
Not saying that such attacks would have been unthinkable before, but the Russian war in Ukraine has normalized attacks of this kind & we are seeing more & more cyberattacks with real world physical implications since 2022 as a result. Confluence of increased interconnectedness & breaking of taboos.
