Nacho Montes de Oca stated that Ukraine launched a massive long-range drone attack against St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region overnight. According to his post, the impacts hit a oil terminal and the main data center of VKontakte, as well as causing fires in several districts. He added that regional authorities reported the downing of dozens of drones and that restrictions at Pulkovo Airport delayed or canceled at least 46 flights. Montes de Oca noted that the terminal had an annual capacity of about 12.5 million tons and was an important point for transporting fuels via the Baltic and supplying the Russian fleet that exported crude oil. Although, according to him, the damage only affected part of the facilities, he stated that the fire in tanks and pumping systems temporarily suspended 100% of loading operations. He estimated that repairs would reduce Russian logistical capacity to export diesel by 15% to 20% for several weeks. Regarding VKontakte, which according to Montes de Oca had over 95 million active monthly users, the author stated that the data center provided communication, video, and access to public platforms, and was also integrated into state systems for education, health, and e-government. He added that NetBlocks recorded a drop in platform traffic to 56% of its normal level, about 44% less. In his analysis, the attack added to previous ones against Yandex data centers in Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladímir, and could affect digital and state services. Montes de Oca indicated that the Ruchyi depot could store 114,000 cubic meters of fuel and supplied heavy and rail transport of the Leningrad Military District. He also stated that the Baltic ports supported Russian exports of crude and its derivatives. According to his post, Russia aimed to export between 3 and 3.5 million tons of diesel per month by the end of 2026, more than 10% of the global market, and damage to terminals and refineries would limit its income and export capacity. The author said that the offensive weakened the energy truce driven by Donald Trump and that Kiev had warned it would respond if Russia continued attacking Ukrainian infrastructure. He added that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had confirmed that Starshield was not operating in Ukraine nor had it been enabled to guide Ukrainian drones over Russian territory, so, according to Montes de Oca, it was not used in the attack. #Ucrania #SanPetersburgo #GuerraUcrania (translated)

Javier Tebas Medrano accused Real Madrid of presenting the coverage of his resignation request as if the international press were also demanding it. According to Tebas, Reuters and The Guardian reported that the club was demanding his departure, while La Gazzetta attributed the demand to Real Madrid. Tebas pointed out that Thomas Böker did request his resignation in an opinion piece published in Kicker and that other media criticized a comparison he made, but he maintained that those criticisms did not equate to supporting the club's request. He also accused Real Madrid of selectively quoting part of a GOAL article: he said that the club published the criticisms of his comparison but omitted that the same journalist questioned certain editorial lines of Real Madrid TV and described their treatment of Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea as "shameful." Tebas added that several articles reported his clarification that the comparison referred to propaganda techniques, not to ideology or the Madrid fanbase. He maintained that reporting the request from Real Madrid did not mean supporting it. #RealMadrid #Tebas #Prensa (translated)

Arthur Machado stated that if Lula lost the elections on the 25th, sectors of the right that defined themselves by anti-PT sentiment could be left without a central opponent, since, according to him, they had not built an alternative project for the country. Machado criticized a portion of the liberal right, which, in his view, repeated slogans without presenting proposals to attract investments, modernize laws, or promote coexistence with divergent views. He also mentioned that the PT could fragment and compete for space among leaders after Lula. As an example, he cited European sectors that, according to him, reorganized their political identity around fighting other groups, including the radical right. Machado stated that without a consistent national project, former opponents of the PT could start targeting Eduardo Bolsonaro and other movements in search of new adversaries. The author also said that the criticisms of the "5th element" came from groups without a project or knowledge about Brazil and claimed that political groups that treated law as a tool for control, rather than as a guarantee of rights and freedoms, were technocratic and promoted a Chinese governance model. He concluded that the problem for these sectors would be discovering that they never had a project to replace Lula as an opponent. #PolíticaBrasil #Antipetismo #Lula (translated)
