The Russians are escalating. I am not surprised by Russia’s hatred of Ukraine, but I am surprised by this approach. They struck our warehouses – Nova Poshta, Ukrposhta, and others. We gave them a fitting response with Wildberries. Now they are striking bridges. Do they really think we won’t respond? They are striking data centers. All of this affects people. This is certainly not some kind of military infrastructure. How can they strike data centers, mobile communications? How does Putin not think about the fact that mobile communications are used not only in Kyiv, in Ukraine? They are used in Moscow too. I am really surprised by this savage desire to escalate every single day. In other words, he is counting on constant escalation. He wants this very much. This is an answer to everyone – to those who believe that all you have to do is simply ask Putin and he will end the war for real. It won't happen simply.

Russia Will Consider Partial Lifting of Diesel Export Ban in Case of Overproduction, Novak Says themoscowtimes.com/2026/10/0…

A Russian soldier admitted what nobody is supposed to say: nobody back home gives a damn about them. The state uses them as disposable meat, the public looks away, and the "humanitarian" grifters skim cash off their suffering. Moscovia's war is governed by a genuine social contract. Silence holds that system together, and it's cracking.

12 Points on Putins Valdai Club Speech On Ukraine

For years, the Kremlin has gone to absurd lengths to hide Vladimir Putin’s secret personal life and deny his relationship with Alina Kabaeva. Well, the mask just slipped in the most embarrassing way possible. A massive data leak from Russia's Federal Border Service has officially exposed that Kabaeva secretly accompanied Putin on an international trip, effectively acting as Russia’s "First Lady" during informal negotiations. In February 2017, Kabaeva flew on a luxury private jet to Almaty, Kazakhstan, perfectly aligning with Putin’s secret arrival to meet then-President Nursultan Nazarbayev at a mountain resort. While Russian state media kept the cameras strictly on the dictators, Putin's actual partner was hiding right behind the scenes, siphoning off thousands of dollars in private flights. Imagine running a massive authoritarian regime, controlling state television, and censoring the internet, only to have your most guarded family secrets fully exposed because your own border control system leaked like a sieve.

The lies you've all been fed about Nazi's and NATO expansion. All BS. They want to rebuild the Russian empire. They want all of Ukraine and they won't stop with Ukraine.

Five Reasons Why Putin Just Killed Russias Economy. piped.video/shorts/Om4a1dury…

Great article here from @GrantWescott on urban survival. I'm hoping it doesn't get as bad as this, but be prepared if you plan to stay in Kyiv. For further reading, I can also recommend the "SAS Survival Handbook" from John "Lofty" Wiseman.

The Russian economy is on the brink of a major crisis, driven by military expenditure, international sanctions and Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, according to Danish Intelligence. This is supported by Inside Russia analysis of companies are going bankrupt.

Russian Youth are Depressed. Recent polling from the Russian Academy of Sciences shows that young adults aged 25–34 in Russia are among the most psychologically vulnerable groups, reporting high rates of anxiety and depression. The figure rose to 49% from 42% in February.

Ex-SEAL and CIA contractor Shawn Ryan just said it out loud: the Iran deployment isn’t for America. It’s for Israel. Not as a hot take. As what his former military colleagues are telling him. He wanted Trump to win. He was supportive before the election. He’s not happy about anything happening right now. He thinks Trump has gone against what he said he was going to do. He doesn’t buy the nuclear-weapons story. And when he talks to people still in uniform, they don’t think this is being run for American interests. They think it’s for another country. He names Israel.Vance told him America is the senior partner. Ryan says it doesn’t look like that to him. That’s the claim. Not “I’m uneasy about the war.” A former SEAL and CIA contractor saying the mission isn’t ours.

Білецький полоненим росіянам «Ви витягнули щасливий квиток». За три сезони «Вівальді» бійці Третього корпусу взяли в полон понад 250 військових рф. Окупанти здавалися цілими підрозділами разом із офіцерами. Через голод, виснаження, відсутність евакуації та накази «на обнулення» тепер у полон здаються не лише піхотинці, а й пілоти БпЛА, мінометники та РЕБівці. Про що зізналися російські полонені командиру Третього армійського корпусу Білецькому, що відбувається в армії противника і чому для військовослужбовців рф полон стає найкращим варіантом — у повному відео Трійки на YouTube: piped.video/a7K95dtG94g?si=NT9u…

Yesterday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova stated that "weapon factories in European countries producing weapons for Ukraine are potential military targets for Russia." What is fundamentally new about this statement? Previously, similar statements from Russia mostly concerned targets inside Ukraine or transport convoys within Ukraine. Now, for the first time, Russia is officially and directly threatening defense plants on the territory of NATO and EU countries, which represents a step toward further escalation. At the official diplomatic level of the Foreign Ministry, the Kremlin is effectively legitimizing potential Russian strikes against targets in sovereign NATO nations. In response, EU Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius stated that if Russia strikes factories on European territory, it would fall under NATO's Article 5 on collective defense and trigger a military response. An aide to Kubilius clarified that this refers specifically to a direct Russian strike, rather than the acts of sabotage that have recently increased at EU arms plants. At present, NATO does not have a clear position on the conditions for invoking Article 5, which undoubtedly encourages Russia to continue escalating and testing the limits.

Polish FM Sikorski: "Kremlin’s assets frozen in Europe are never going back to Russia. They can be used in the future as war reparations or to help Ukraine rebuild, or they can be used now to help prevent further destruction and make future reconstruction cheaper. Unfortunately, even if the war ends tomorrow, Russia will remain a threat. We cannot afford to once again underestimate the danger of Moscow’s militarism. Europe is not a global empire and does not intend to become one. We don’t need military bases in every corner of the world. We need to be strong enough to deter Putin." - @sikorskiradek
