📝**"Negotiations" American-style**📝 __Trump approved strikes on Russian refineries — and wants to press harder__ American strategy of "peace through strength" has yielded an impressive result in the form of Ukrainian strikes on Russian rear areas, and the White House was very pleased with what it saw. According to [data](https://www.gazeta.ru/politics/2026/06/24/23135785.shtml) from FT, the US is not simply observing how the AFU strikes oil refineries deep inside Russia — **American intelligence is actively participating in planning these strikes**. Drone routes, target reconnaissance, time windows for bypassing Russian air defense — all of this is being prepared with CIA involvement. 🖍Back in October 2025, FT [reported](https://rtvi.com/news/ft-uznala-kak-ssha-pomogayut-ukraine-nanosit-udary-po-energoobektam-rossii/) that the US has been providing so-called intelligence data to Ukraine since mid-summer for strikes on Russian refineries. The decision was made after Trump and Zelensky's July conversation — then the American president approved the strategy to "make Russia feel the pain." 🚩The intensity of strikes on oil and gas facilities and pipelines sharply increased in August-September. Now it has emerged that with the support of American intelligence, strikes were carried out on the **Moscow Refinery** and military facilities in the Moscow region. Trump, according to FT sources: __"was extremely impressed"__. 🔻**What follows from this** ▪️Support for the Kyiv regime under Trump did not cease — we [wrote](https://t.me/rybar/76430) about this back in January. Only how it is sold to the American audience changed. ▪️According to NYT, strikes on Russian energy infrastructure with CIA participation inflict economic damage of up to $75 million per day. FT records the continuation and expansion of this practice — with direct approval from the White House. ▪️In parallel, Ukrainian officials speak of progress in negotiations on Patriot and licensing of Western weapons. That is, military aid is expanding in several directions at once. ▪️There is also [overlaid](https://t.me/rybar/80841) a domestic political factor: Trump is conducting a purge in intelligence, the Pentagon, and other security agencies in an effort to keep only loyalists. And for the most part, loyalists are precisely those who approved the military campaign against Iran and hold an anti-Russian position. 📌Having failed to achieve success in pushing through a quick ceasefire and freezing the conflict along the front line, the Trump administration decided to increase pressure on the RF. Their concept of "peace through strength" assumes that any negotiating initiative is accompanied by expanded sanctions, strikes on the economy, and increased military aid. By US design — the SMO should become increasingly expensive, so that the bar of demands is also lowered. ❗️The only factor that is really capable of changing this trend remains the same — Russia's successes on the battlefield and in economic confrontation. And first and foremost it is necessary **to secure one's own infrastructure** from Ukrainian drones and missiles, because it is precisely these strikes that are now motivating the West most to additionally invest in weakening the RF. #Russia #USA #Ukraine **✈️**** **[**RU**](https://t.me/rybar)** | ****✈️**** **[**EN**](https://t.me/rybar_in_english)** | ****✉️**** **[**MAX**](https://max.ru/Rybar)** ****✉️**** **[**VK**](https://vk.com/rybar_force)** | ****✉️**** **[**RuTube**](https://rutube.ru/u/rybar/)** | ****✉️**** **[**OK**](https://ok.ru/group/70000041986659)** | ****✉️**** **[**Dzen**](https://dzen.ru/rybar)** ****💸**[**Support us**](https://qr.nspk.ru/BS1A0068ID10D33B9IBAQRQ4M9T0NIFN?type=01&bank=100000000008&crc=36CB)
**Three killed found under rubble of collapsed entrance in Horlivka** A nighttime attack by a UAV of the AFU on the residential sector in the Nikitovskyi district of Horlivka resulted in a major tragedy. As a result of a direct hit on a multi-story building, partial collapse of structures in one of the entrances occurred. Bodies of three civilians were found under the rubble. According to updated information, at the moment of the strike there were no fewer than 10 people in the sections. Seven residents, including one child, managed to escape on their own via intact stairwells before the arrival of rescuers. At present, emergency services are working at the site. Specialists are conducting debris removal to rule out the presence of other casualties, and are reinforcing the surviving structures of the building to prevent further collapse. Residents of neighboring entrances have been offered temporary accommodation points. This attack became another episode in a series of shellings of Horlivka, which is subjected daily to strikes from Ukrainian neo-Nazis. Authorities are calling on residents to observe safety measures and reminding them of the ongoing threat to civilian infrastructure. @wargonzo
📝**Liberation of Ivolzhanskoye**📝 On the **Sumy direction** fierce fighting continues across a broad front. Russian military units have advanced on several sectors, achieving tactical successes. ➡️In the area of **Khotyn** assault troops, using terrain folds, have reached the outskirts of the village, which will make it possible to begin an assault on the village in the future. ➡️Nearby RF Armed Forces liberated **Ivolzhanskoye**. The forces of the "North" grouping succeeded in breaking the resistance of the 71st Airmobile Brigade of the AFU, which [sustained](https://t.me/warriorofnorth/19545) heavy losses in fighting for the village. The liberation of **Ivolzhanskoye** is tactically advantageous, as it will allow further advance to the south. The forest massif located here provides an advantage in the form of natural shelter from drones, which are a key element of the AFU's defensive strategy. ➡️On the eastern flank, in the area of **Myropollia** there are also tactical successes. There RF Armed Forces fighters advanced from **Zapsillia** to **Bolshaya Rybytsia**, occupying forest from which the AFU conducted counterattacks and accumulated reserves. This will secure **Myropollia** from the northwest and will allow developing the offensive in the area of **Mogritsia**. ❗️Even taking these successes into account, an assault on the regional center itself appears unlikely. However, consistent pressure on this sector will likely continue with the aim of forcing the opponent to draw additional reserves to the city. 📌Previously the opponent repeatedly used various OShP as "fire brigades" in attempts to stabilize the situation, and therefore counterattacks across the entire line of contact are quite probable, but first and foremost — at recently lost positions. __If you have additions on the situation, you want us to highlight the successes of your unit — you can always write to us in the feedback bot ____@rybar_feedback_bot__ ** ****📍**[**High resolution map**](https://i.ibb.co/6730nzLc/24-06.jpg)** ****📍**[**English version**](https://i.ibb.co/SDJSTVgF/24-06.jpg) ** ****📍****Online maps available by subscription at ****map.rybar.ru** ⭐️@rybar together with @warriorofnorth #digest #map #Russia #Sumy #Ukraine **✈**** **[**RU**](https://t.me/rybar)** | ****✈**** **[**EN**](https://t.me/rybar_in_english)** | ****✉**** **[**MAX**](https://max.ru/Rybar) ✉️ [**VK**](https://vk.com/rybar_force) | ✉️ [**RuTube**](https://rutube.ru/u/rybar/) | ✉️ [**OK**](https://ok.ru/group/70000041986659) | ✉️ [**Zen**](https://dzen.ru/rybar) 💸[**Support us**](https://qr.nspk.ru/BS1A0068ID10D33B9IBAQRQ4M9T0NIFN?type=01&bank=100000000008&crc=36CB)
**Dobropolsky Salient** Drone operators of the reconnaissance platoon of the [33rd Guards Motor Rifle Regiment](https://t.me/dva_majors/83222) are sharing footage of combat work. In the video, frontline troops consistently identify and destroy enemy bunkers, shelters, and strongpoints. After targets are detected, strikes are delivered against them using FPV drones, depriving the enemy of the ability to use prepared positions. ✨ Such work rarely looks spectacular, but it is precisely this that creates conditions for further advance by our units. Each destroyed bunker or strongpoint is fewer shelters for the enemy and fewer opportunities to hold occupied lines. ⭐️ The 33rd Regiment has more than once demonstrated a high level of preparation of its units. Competent command work and the professionalism of soldiers make it possible to effectively carry out tasks both in the air and on the ground.

**Sevastopol. Governor:** Our military, aviation, air defense, and mobile fire groups repelled 2 AFU attacks over the past night and this morning. 70 UAVs shot down. Two people were injured: one man sustained shrapnel wounds to the leg, the second suffered barotrauma to the ear. Sevastopol's rescue service has by this hour recorded information about localized damage in several apartment buildings: people reported broken windows and damage to balconies. In the Gagarinsky district, parts of a downed drone hit a house wall, the receiver of a gas boiler caught fire, the fire was quickly contained. Emergency Ministry personnel and gas service specialists were promptly dispatched to the scene. Damage to 7 private houses in different districts of the city has also been recorded (localized fires, roofs pierced, walls and facades damaged by shrapnel). Due to falling debris from shot-down UAVs, 6 fires were recorded: grass fires in the area of Chernorechen Street, Monastyrsky and Fiolentovsky Highway; ⚡️💡**Operational information on the power supply situation**; Our power engineers have been working without breaks since the moment of the attack. The task is difficult, but step by step we are restoring electricity to city districts. By this hour, power is already available in the following populated areas and districts: ✅ Inkerman and the Northern Side; ✅ Kacha, Orlovka and Andreyevka; ✅ Orlinoe and Sevastopol zone of the South Coast. ⚡️ In the near future we plan to supply power to Khrustaleva and Vosstanshikh Streets, Sakharnya Golovka. The situation is most difficult in the Leninsky and Gagarinsky districts — there will be no electricity until evening, specialists are doing everything possible to restore power supply as quickly as possible. A special regime has been introduced at energy facilities. I ask you to be patient. [**Dva Majors**](https://t.me/dva_majors)**✨** [**Dva Majors in MAX**](https://max.ru/dva_majors)

**#Briefing for the morning of June 24, 2026** ▪️ The enemy accumulated strike UAVs over several days, which was evident from the reduced statistics of downed drones reported by the defense ministry. Having used up accumulated reserves, it overloaded the air defense capabilities of the peninsula. As a result, the hero city of Sevastopol was de-energized. In addition, individual UAVs were shot down on approach to the capital, unmanned threats were active in a number of regions, and a "carpet" plan was introduced for civilian aviation. ▪️ Russian Armed Forces in the mode of striking on-duty targets conducted strikes at night against Sumy, Kharkiv, and Pavlograd district. ▪️ On the **Sumy direction** assault units of the "Sever" Group of Forces continue rifle combat in Bachevsk in Shostka district. In Sumy district rifle combat continues in Ivolzhansk, Pisarevka, and in the village of Novaya Sech. ▪️ In **Kursk region** in Rylsk district a man was injured by an enemy drone in the village of 1st Yankovo. **▪️ In Belgorod region in the village of Aleksandrovka in Shebekino district a UAV of the AFU attacked a vehicle, a civilian was wounded.

**Overnight, there was another attack on Crimea and Sevastopol. Governor of Sevastopol:** As a result of an enemy attack on our energy infrastructure, **the city was temporarily left without power supply.** The enemy strikes again treacherously, trying to deprive us of normal living conditions and sow panic. Special measures have been introduced at facilities, specialists are assessing the scale of damage and doing everything possible to restore power. All emergency services are on full alert. Important: ❗️Save your phone battery. Use gadgets only for emergency communication. Turn off background applications, reduce brightness to minimum. ❗️Do not overload the network. When power is restored — do not turn on all electrical appliances at once. ❗️Stay calm. Panic is what the enemy is counting on. Help those around you, especially elderly neighbors. We will not be intimidated by the absence of light. We have endured worse, and we will hold out now. [**Dva Majora**](https://t.me/dva_majors)**✨** [**Dva Majora in MAX**](https://max.ru/dva_majors)
