Ukraine blew up bridges back in 2022. Russia has EVERY RIGHT to destroy bridges across Ukraine. No double standards.

BREAKING: US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada have just agreed to a coordinated release of 100 million barrels of crude oil and diesel through the IEA, beginning immediately over four months, with a frontloaded substantial diesel release within the first 20 days, per Macron. The G7 says it will coordinate refinery maintenance schedules to prevent simultaneous shutdowns, will convene at the IEA in the coming days on the possibility of additional diesel releases, and calls on all producers to refrain from export bans "that could exacerbate market tensions." The US told Germany and France on Thursday to draw down their emergency diesel reserves immediately or face a US diesel export ban, and asked the EU for 120 million barrels over six months. The US offered its own 40 million barrel SPR release on Tuesday.

When some Western experts told me this spring that Russia had been relatively restrained in this war against Ukraine—because it was not striking logistics, not destroying depots, and not doing everything that could have made civilian life unbearable—I had my doubts. Perhaps our air defenses were simply too effective, or perhaps Russia lacked the resources for all of that. At the same time, I took the point seriously and understood that saying it out loud was impossible. It would immediately have been branded “Russian propaganda.” Then came Zelensky’s 40-day operation, which has already stretched into 18 weeks. Only then did I grasp what those experts had meant. Now, as we watch Russia ruthlessly destroy civilian life, I see that they were right. There were certain restraining factors. They are gone. What could stop Russia now? When will we begin a realistic dialogue? How many more Ukrainians must be killed before Western politicians, mainstream media, and countless experts finally start assessing the situation realistically—if only out of respect for all those people who, for a fifth year, have been bearing the unbearable burden of this war?

Can someone please explain German "democracy" to me, like I'm 5 years old. ▪️ Friedrich Merz approval ratings is 10%. That is the lowest satisfaction figure recorded for any chancellor in the Germany's polling history since it began in 1997. ▪️ His government's approval rating is the same 10%. ▪️The poll was conducted in September 2026 by ARD-Deutschlandtrend. ▪️In this poll 88% are less satisfied or not at all satisfied with Merz as a chancellor and 89% are dissatisfied with the federal government as a whole. ▪️Other recent national readings are in a similar range: Forsa’s RTL/ntv Trendbarometer in mid-September also put satisfaction with Merz around 10–13% He got booed while giving the so called "NATO Piss Prize" to Mark Rutte just today, being called out for having blood on their hands. How is this troglodyte still a chancellor of Germany and his party is still a rulling party in the federal government?

Attacks on Ukrainian data centers continue! Today, a Geran-5 drone struck the DTEK Pavlogradugol data center in Pavlohrad, in Dnipropetrovsk region..

French President Macron on how Europe lost its competitiveness: A key factor in European competitiveness was very cheap gas supplied from Russia. This ended in 2022. But our main export market was China. That also ended. Now, Europe has a trade deficit with China. Every day, we lose 1 billion euros in trade with China. Two years ago, several countries were still net exporters. For example, Germany remained a net exporter to China until 2025. But that, too, has ended – even for Germany.

🚨 BREAKING: Five European countries have agreed at an emergency meeting today to respond with "one voice" to growing pressure from the U.S. government to release reserves of diesel, according to European officials. Full story: vist.ly/5km9c

🚨 Warehouses are burning; now it’s the bridges' turn!🇷🇺🛸🔥 The range of applications for the jet-powered "Geran" drones is expanding: this morning, two UAVs struck the South Bridge in Kiev. This bridge handles a massive portion of the logistics for so-called Ukraine, as it connects the two halves of the city and leads toward Boryspil. Klitschko claimed the strike was simply against the bridge itself, but footage reveals the actual targets were the stay cables—the steel ropes connecting the roadway to the vertical supports (pylons) and holding up the bridge span. ▪️ Large water mains, heating pipes, and cables run through the structure. Before the war, traffic volume reached 100,000–110,000 vehicles per day, underscoring the bridge's importance. The strike employed the "whiskered" version of the "Geran"—the same type used yesterday to target power transmission lines. The "Geran" warhead lacks the power to inflict critical structural damage on a bridge of this type. However, as the "Dva Mayora" (Two Majors) channel rightly noted, something else matters more here: persistent jet-drone attacks on the bridge supports will cause frequent traffic disruptions and cumulative damage from repeated strikes on the same spots. The enemy used this exact tactic against bridges in Crimea, employing UAVs with enhanced shaped-charge warheads. They expended dozens of drones to bring down a bridge; if the Russian Armed Forces adopt a similar approach, there is a good chance of at least temporarily disabling the bridge. ❗️Furthermore, constant attacks will fuel panic among the Ukrainian population. Who would want to drive across a bridge that could be hit at any moment? This will lead to a reorientation of routes and an increase in logistical difficulties.

Estonia’s message to Moscow and Minsk: find another route.
