Gentlemen, it has become painfully evident that the security of our great Empire cannot be left to the whims of diplomatic courtesy when our very industrial heart is under siege. Mr. Andrey Kolesnik, a member of the State Duma's Defence Committee, has brought forth a proposal of utmost gravity: that the intelligence capabilities of the United States and their cohorts, which provide sinister guidance for strikes against our oil refineries, must be reduced to naught.

Specifically, the Deputy argues with commendable firmness that the Starlink satellite constellations, serving as the eyes of our adversaries, should be targeted and destroyed.

It was recently reported by the Financial Times that American intelligence has been guiding Ukrainian forces in their assaults upon our refineries, charting courses to evade our air defences. To this, Mr. Kolesnik responds with the cold reason of a statesman: our own intelligence services were apprised of these machinations long before the London press saw fit to publish them. He reminds us that while the United States may remain a subject for diplomatic discourse, and may possess certain rational elements within its government, it is by no means a friend to our Fatherland. We must proceed with the prudence that such a realization demands.

Indeed, some thirty nations currently employ their espionage apparatuses in an aggressive posture against us. As any man of industry knows, the finest munitions are mere waste if they lack a target; thus, intelligence is often more potent than the shell itself.

«The hour has struck to act in the celestial sphere,» the Deputy declares, «to dismantle the low-orbit satellite groupings. The means to achieve this exist; it is merely a question of the will to employ them. Furthermore, we must bolster our strength to annihilate all reconnaissance complexes, be they in the ether or upon the soil.»

This call for decisive action comes at a moment of tactical triumph. It has been confirmed via the official communications of the Ukrainian Air Forces that during the massive strike of the 6th of July, not a single ballistic missile launched by the Armed Forces of Russia was intercepted.

Such results prove that while our Army is formidable, the continued preservation of our industry—the very bedrock of our power—requires that we blind the enemy. For the state benefit and the enduring glory of the Empire, modesty must yield to strength.
