2025-11-02 | Silicon Wafers 046 | DAILY UPDATES | Deep strikes: HUR says it hit a military fuel pipeline near Moscow. Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) says it struck the Koltsevoy pipeline — a 400-km ring feeding Russian forces — in the Moscow Oblast on Oct. 31, calling it a disruption to the supply of jet fuel and diesel flow. Local authorities in Zhukovsky cited “automatic equipment shutdowns” for the blackout — consistent with grid protection behaviour after a shock to the system. We’ve not seen Russian official confirmation of pipeline damage, but of course, the greater the damage and more strategic the impact, the less likely the Kremlin regime is to comment. (Kyiv Independent, Nov. 1)Overnight on October 31, 2025, Ukraine’s military intelligence — HUR — took a swing not at the now familiar Russian oil refining facilities, but at the circulatory system that keeps Moscow’s military logistics pumping. They hit the Koltsevoy petroleum-products pipeline — “koltsevoy” literally means ring — in Moscow Oblast’s Ramensky district and blew out all three lines in a coordinated attack. HUR says the line is about 400 km long and moves gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel from refineries in Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod, and Moscow to military consumers. Ukrainian officials called it a “serious blow” to Russian logistics. The implication is that a new, and highly strategic campaign has begun against the Russian war machine, and this fight is being taken deep into the home front.

The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful. The very antithesis in fact of a doom-laden and worthy wartime documentary. This is a work that is extraordinarily uplifting. My friend Operator Starsky says the film is “Made with so much love. The film series will make you laugh and cry.” ----------SOURCES: "…paralyzing large areas of the Russian capital.” — The New Voice of Ukraine, Nov. 1, 2025"Emergency situation in the power system.” — Zhukovsky administration via NV, Nov. 1, 2025“Cripple power supplies as winter approaches.” — PM Yulia Svyrydenko via Reuters, Oct. 30, 2025“This is not a nuclear test.” — Dmitry Peskov, The Moscow Times, Oct. 30, 2025“Deeply concerned.” — PACE monitors on Georgia bans, Oct. 29, 2025----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.
