A Ukrainian FP-1/2 su***de drone fired an unguided air-to-ground rocket at a Russian mobile air defense unit during tonight’s strike operation in Crimea.

For a long time now, Russian forces have been actively increasing the number of mobile fire groups to counter Ukrainian drones, which is becoming an ever bigger challenge for long-range strikes. The new FP-1/2 variant equipped with unguided rockets is specifically designed to target and neutralize such groups.

A Ukrainian soldier’s camera captured the moment an enemy FPV drone suddenly struck an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) delivering supplies to the frontline.

The robotic “courier” unexpectedly stopped in an exposed area and began turning around, leaving the soldiers confused about what was happening. Because of this, they hesitated to approach it immediately — a decision that ultimately saved their lives when a Russian FPV drone hit the vehicle moments later.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a decree effectively allowing Russia’s May 9 parade to take place on Red Square in Moscow.

The reason is simple — the return of 1,000 Ukrainian POWs is far more important for Ukraine and for every Ukrainian than any Russian propaganda spectacle.

Let them hold their parade.
In exchange, a thousand of our men and women will return home.

Ukraine, with mediation from the United States, has reached an agreement with Russia on a new prisoner exchange in a 1000-for-1000 format, alongside a ceasefire from May 9 to May 11.

This situation once again shows why Vladimir Putin keeps Ukrainian prisoners of war. For him, they are a bargaining tool and a commodity.

Today, he effectively bought himself one day of propaganda celebrations with the lives of POWs.

Mariupol and Russian military targets in and around the city are already under aerial surveillance. Russian forces continue using Ukrainian roads there to move troops and equipment.

The 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine “Azov” says it is expanding a “sanitary zone” against Russian logistics, with the range of strikes expected to grow.

12 years ago, Russia tried to occupy Odesa.

So-called “pro-russian activists” barricaded themselves inside the Trade Union Building.
From the roof, they threw Molotov cocktails at pro-Ukrainian demonstrators.

When their attempt to seize the city failed, chaos began.
Pro-russian groups panicked, retreated — and the building caught fire with them.

For years, russian propaganda has blamed Ukraine.
But the facts tell a different story.

This is what actually happened.

In the second video:

He openly called for killing Odesa residents
who rejected the claim that “Odesa is a russian city.”

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has again struck targets in Perm, hitting infrastructure at one of Russia’s largest oil refineries — Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez.

The SBU also carried out a repeat strike on the “Perm” linear production and dispatch station, which supplies oil to the refinery. The facility had already been targeted by SBU drones the previous day, and new fires were reported there today.

On the night of April 30, 2026, Ukrainian Naval Forces conducted a strike against Russian naval assets in the Kerch Strait area.

As a result, a Russian FSB patrol boat “Sobol” and an anti-sabotage boat “Grachonok” were hit. The enemy suffered both fatal and wounded casualties.

These boats are key units of Russia’s coastal guard and navy, used to protect the Kerch Bridge and counter sabotage operations.

Two Russian helicopters — a Mi-28 and a Mi-8 — were struck by drones today in Russia’s Voronezh region, approximately 150 km from the state border.

As a result of the strike, at least one helicopter maintenance specialist was killed.

The strike was carried out by combined crews of the 429th Separate Rifle Battalion “Achilles” and the 43rd Artillery Brigade, in coordination with the Special Operations Center “A,” on April 29 in the Voronezh region of the Russian Federation.
