**Ukrainian Partisans Disrupt Russian Military Logistics**
A group of Ukrainian partisans, known as Atesh, has claimed responsibility for sabotaging a signal cabinet on a railway line near the Russian-occupied city of Yasynuvata in Donetsk Oblast. The attack is believed to have disrupted the delivery of a train carrying fuel for Russian forces.
According to Atesh’s statement on Telegram, the sabotage took place on June 28, and was intended to remind “the occupiers that this is an independent and free country.” The group also stated that the sabotaged section of the railway line is located near Russian military units, warehouses, and industrial facilities.
While the claims made by Atesh cannot be independently verified, it is worth noting that the group has a history of conducting sabotage attacks in Russia and Ukraine’s occupied territories. In early June, Atesh claimed to have destroyed a signal cabinet on the new Volnovakha-Mariupol railway, which had been recently built by occupying Russian forces.
**Russian Military Logistics Hit Hard**
The attack on the railway line is just one example of the ongoing efforts by Ukrainian partisans and military forces to disrupt Russian military logistics in occupied territories. The Russian military has been relying heavily on transportation routes, such as railways, to supply its troops and equipment.
In recent days, there have been reports of significant losses for Russian forces, with 1,000 casualties reported over the past day alone. This includes a devastating drone attack that hit a 21-story building in Kyiv, killing a couple and injuring 14 others, including three children.
**Ukrainian Businesses Join Forces**
In a bid to bolster its defense capabilities, President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that the government and Ukrainian businesses will now provide over 40% of the weapons used to defend against Russia’s full-scale invasion. This move is aimed at reducing dependence on international aid and increasing the country’s self-sufficiency.
**Global Support for Ukraine**
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to receive support from around the world. Polish President Andrzej Duda has been praised by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha for his unwavering support for Ukraine, while the US has shown its willingness to impose sanctions on Russian energy buyers and consider further action against Iran.
As tensions remain high between Russia and NATO countries, it remains to be seen how this will impact global security and relations between nations. One thing is certain, however: Ukraine’s fight for independence continues.
