Ukrainian partisans disrupt Russian logistics in occupied Donetsk Oblast
The Ukrainian ATESH partisan movement stated they had disrupted a Russian logistics route by disabling a relay cabinet on the newly built Volnovakha–Mariupol railway in occupied Donetsk Oblast. Source: ATESH on Telegram Details: ATESH stated that this railway section is a critical part of the Taganrog–Mariupol line, constructed by Russian forces to transport fuel, equipment and ammunition to the front, bypassing Crimea. The line enables faster and less risky deliveries from Rostov-on-Don (Russia) for the Russian occupying forces, according to the group. Quote from Atesh: "Damage to infrastructure in this area will disorganise supplies and increase the vulnerability of the occupying forces." Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

Pro-Ukraine partisans sabotage railway in Russia-occupied Donetsk Oblast, group claims
The Atesh partisan group sabotaged a railway in occupied Donetsk Oblast, disrupting Russian logistics, the group claimed in a Telegram post on June 1. Operatives with the group destroyed a relay box on the new Volnovakha-Mariupol railway, which was recently built by occupying Russian forces. As a result, the railway signalling and traffic control system was disrupted, Atesh said. The impacted railway has been reportedly used by Russian forces to deliver fuel, equipment, and ammunition directly to the frontline. The Volnovakha-Mariupol railway connects occupied Donetsk oblast to Taganrog, a city in southwestern Russia, allowing Moscow's military forces to bypass Crimea and transfer cargo faster and with fewer risks, according to Atesh. Atesh further claimed that damaging infrastructure in this direction is key to disrupting supply lines and increasing the vulnerability of occupying Russian forces. "We continue to hit the enemy's critical points. Each hit reduces their combat effectiveness," Atesh wrote. The Kyiv Independent could not verify these claims. The Atesh movement regularly commits sabotage attacks on Russian territory and in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine. Partisans reported a similar railroad in Russia's Smolensk Oblast in May.

Slowing Innovation Is Ruining American Politics
If there's one thing every American agrees on, it's that politics has become vicious. There are plenty of explanations for why that is, from gerrymandering to the partisan sorting that has made both parties increasingly ideologically homogenous. One I'd add — but which often gets overlooked — is the slowdown in US technological progress outside of computing. Technology is the most important driver of economic growth, and its rapid progress allows political disputes to center on how best to distribute gains. That's easy. What's hard is when technology stagnates, growth slows and politics become zero-sum. The last few years have seen the promise of new technologies that could help us escape that trap — but the Trump administration is throwing that opportunity away.
