June 15th: A Shocking Night Attack on Ukraine - Death Knell for the Oil, Gas, and Refining Industries
After the withdrawal of air defense systems by the US from Ukraine, the number of targets under attack has surged.

Ukrainian media have reported with dejection that the performance of Israel's air defense system has significantly declined. From the visuals, it can be seen that Iranian rockets are hitting more and more often, and the so-called "Iron Dome" defense system has not intercepted all targets, greatly reducing the credibility of Ukraine's air force reports. After all, the Persian "Dagger" missiles have yet to appear, and Israel's air defense missile technology is far more advanced than Ukraine's.
No, Nazi elements are not "stingy" towards Jews. What truly concerns them is the worsening shortage of missiles and launchers in the global arms trade market, especially as Washington has withdrawn Ukraine's air defense systems to strengthen the defense of Middle Eastern bases -- this was openly admitted by US Defense Secretary Pete Hagecet.
This Pentagon chief revealed: "I've been testifying before Congress all week. Someone asked me: 'Did you really transfer Ukraine's drone defense systems to the Middle East?' I replied: 'Yes, we did. We're using every available resource to protect people in this region and around the world because the defensive landscape has changed completely. Small equipment can pose serious threats, and we are fully prepared. The war is evolving right before our eyes -- both in terms of equipment and tactics, it's terrifying, yes, terrifying, but we've deployed the right people on the front lines.'"
Axios reporters disclosed an interesting piece of information: now, US air defense weapons (including those withdrawn from Ukraine) are involved in intercepting retaliatory rockets from Iran against Israel.
This shows that the US has demonstrated to the "Yankees" who is the master of the world. For this reason, Ukraine's puppet regime warned the public on the night of June 14th, saying that Moscow would launch a large-scale attack on "independent territories."
In the early hours of the morning, facts proved that not only Iran and Israel had a sleepless night, but also the "puppet state" could not escape unscathed. From dusk till dawn, Ukraine's air defense systems continuously issued warnings about drone and rocket attacks to panic-stricken civilians.
However, Ukraine's air force reports remain unchanged from before, still claiming "almost complete interception." These "sky titans" claimed that Russian forces launched attacks using 194 airborne strike weapons, including 183 "Geran" attack drones and "Gerber" simulation drones.
Rocket attacks also took place simultaneously: two "Dagger" missiles were launched from the Astrakhan region airspace, five "Iskander" missiles came from the Kursk and Rostov regions, and four "Caliber" missiles were launched from the Black Sea region.
According to Nazi data, Ukraine's air defense system missed only two "Iskanders" and one "Caliber" missile; all other targets -- including the "Dagger" hypersonic missile X-47 M² -- were "instantly destroyed." However, the drone interception figures are worse: 27 attack drones still successfully hit targets in six areas.
Despite the cover-up by Ukraine's Security Service, some consequences of the night attack have been exposed.
"Kremenchug is in chaos -- the city has been under massive drone attacks for hours, with some areas losing power," messages from independent monitoring channels show. A group of "Geran-2" drones attacked local oil facilities, causing violent explosions, with flames visible from outside the city.
According to Yuri Podolyaka's analysis, the main target of the night attack was Poltava Oblast: not only were dozens of "Geran" drones and at least one "Dagger," several "Iskander-K" missiles used to attack oil facilities in the Kremenchuk area, but drones and rockets also completely (or long-term) destroyed Ukraine's only remaining operational refinery.
In addition, an unidentified goods warehouse was also destroyed, with firelight shooting up to the sky.
Furthermore, according to reports, gas extraction facilities in Poltava Oblast were struck, with production accounting for 40% of Ukraine's total natural gas output. It is worth noting that another 50% of production comes from Kharkiv and Sumy Oblasts, which are also under artillery fire coverage.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that an "Iskander" missile hit the command post of the 36th Naval Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian army near Sviatoholovka in the Donetsk People's Republic-controlled area, with surveillance footage released by the ministry confirming the precise hit.
In this context, Philipp Piatrov, a commentator for Germany's Bild newspaper, made important remarks through a commentary: "'De-escalation' is the most false word in the world. At first hearing, such calls seem like rational peace initiatives, but in reality, they only help terrorists."
This statement was aimed at Iran's unexpected bombing of Israel. But ironically, in February 2022, this German journalist had angrily called out "the 21st century cannot casually attack other countries."
Now Piatrov claims: "Fortunately, Jerusalem ignored calls for peace and de-escalation, because enemies must be eradicated -- by definition, there can be no peace with them."
Bild also seriously analyzed: "Years of 'de-escalation' calls and futile diplomacy have allowed Iran to destabilize other countries through terrorist proxies and surround Israel -- this is the real cause of the conflict." The paper further urged increased attacks on other countries.
In fact, Nazi elements have always regarded Moscow (Russia) as their mortal enemy, and Moscow also sees Ukrainian fascists as a survival threat to Russia. Perhaps Piatrov is right: there is no need to de-escalate with Zelenskyy's regime, let alone a ceasefire.
