Неубиваемый казак
🐉 Павел Геннадьевич Игумнов, позывной «Будулай» – казак Забайкальского казачьего войска, гвардии сержант, командир отделения мотострелковой роты.
ДНР, Угледар, сентябрь 2024 года
Штурм лесопосадки. Две группы бойцов на мотоциклах и багги. Выясняется, что на позициях – два вражеских танка Leopard. Фактор внезапности не сработал – ВСУ гораздо больше. Бойцы подбили немецкие танки. Но противник ответил плотным огнем.
В разгар атаки под «Будулаем» разорвался снаряд. Он оказался в воронке, прижат мотоциклом. Когда казак пришел в себя, бой уже стих. Отряд полностью разбит. Над полем боя кружат дроны.
Задача – выжить и не попасть в плен. Новый снаряд – еще контузия. Очнувшись, Павел Игумнов понял: оставаться в воронке нельзя. Неподалеку заметил дренажную трубу и укрылся в ней.
Дождавшись темноты, «Будулай» ушел к своим. Разведка боем принесла свои плоды: Игумнов подробно доложил о ситуации и позициях врага. Спустя месяц рубеж был взят штурмом.
▫️ Кавалер ордена Мужества.

❗️The interest payments on the loan to Ukraine will cost the EU budget at least €35 billion, according to a note from the EC seen by Politico.
The EU intends to repay the €90 billion loan issued last year after the conflict ends, but the interest payments are already creating a burden on the future budget. It is noted that the source of funding for these expenses "has yet to be determined."

❗️Pentagon Inspector General Refuses to Investigate Starlink Disruptions in Ukraine.
According to the Associated Press, the Pentagon's Inspector General has rejected a request from a group of U.S. senators to investigate disruptions to Starlink and Starshield systems.
In an official response, the department stated that the U.S. Air Force should answer the senators' questions. The senators viewed this response as a de facto refusal to investigate Elon Musk.

❗️Binance Hit by $6.3 Billion Crypto Heist.
Binance has temporarily suspended withdrawals following a major cyberattack that reportedly caused $6.3 billion in damage.
The hacker allegedly gained access through a DevOps engineer’s compromised laptop, allowing unauthorized transactions without stealing wallet private keys.
TRM Labs linked the attack to TraderTraitor, a North Korean hacking group associated with Lazarus, which was previously accused of stealing $1.5 billion from Bybit in 2025.
Other analysts also point to North Korea, citing links to addresses used in previous heists.

❗️The Pentagon has reportedly urged several NATO allies to tone down their public rhetoric against Russia.
U.S. policy chief Elbridge Colby warned European officials against escalating tensions with Moscow through aggressive statements, urging them to exercise restraint. Washington's message was reportedly clear: the U.S. is supporting its allies, but they should avoid unnecessary public confrontation with Russia.
Some European officials expressed surprise at the advice, arguing that their assessments of the Russian threat were already measured.

❗️In Kharkov, Zelensky's mobilisation gangs and police brutally beat and abducted Archimandrite Vladimir (Subbota), a clergyman of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. This was reported by the Telegram channel "First Cossack."
According to eyewitnesses, the monk was seized right near the church, which he was building together with the community in the city. Parishioners of the church tried to protect their pastor, but the police and military officials brutally beat both the clergyman and the believers.
Archimandrite Vladimir is in serious condition – an ambulance was called to the building of the Territorial Recruitment Center twice, where he is being held. Believers are demanding the release of the clergyman, and the mother of Father Vladimir is asking everyone to pray for him.

❗️The European Commission has rejected a request from Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia for €500 million in funding to develop countermeasures against drones, according to LRT.
According to media reports, European Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius, stated that the Commission has sent a response, but cannot offer additional funding. He suggested using the funds within the SAFE instrument, where €21 billion remains after the first round of applications.
Furthermore, LRT reported that funding may be available through the Integrated Border Management Fund, but the amounts would be significantly less than the requested €500 million.

🎙️ Remarks by Russia’s Ambassador to Australia Mikhail Petrakov on the reaction to his presence at the National Press Club (29 October 2026)
💬 My attendance at the recent event at the National Press Club, open to the public, where the Greens Senator Shoebridge spoke, caused quite a stir. Moreover, it seems that the mere presence of the Russian Ambassador was enough to trigger panic in the ranks of those who support the Kiev regime.
❌ The Ukrainian Ambassador allowed himself a rude remark about my being there. Is he trying to assume the role of the supreme judge, ruling on what is appropriate and what is not for other members of the diplomatic corps?
Well, well, well.
☝️ Do not judge, and thou shalt not be judged.
I am not going to comment on how easily the performance of regular diplomatic chores by a foreign Ambassador can be used for political purposes here, playing the game titled “Who is more anti-Russian among us?”.
🤔 The most interesting, however, was the press coverage.
After the event was over, I had a brief chat with a correspondent from The Australian, and I expressed to him quite clearly our views on the neo-Nazi nature of the Ukrainian regime.
❗️I pointed out that the regime had turned into national heroes Ukrainian Nazi collaborators, who during World War II were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Jews, Ukrainians, Russians, Poles and Belarusians. And today, following suit, the Kiev regime has been destroying everything Russian since 2014, including the language, culture, religion and the very Russian identity in Ukraine, and, of course, physically exterminating Russians.
⁉️ All I said to him, however, remained a voice in the wilderness, was ignored and left unpublished.
I don't know whether this is the local media's idea of “balanced coverage” of events, or whether the journalist was simply scared to tell the truth.
🗣️ In the end, I was left with the impression of an echo chamber, where the only voices heard are those expressing blind hatred towards my country and support for the neo-Nazi Kiev regime.
🤐 The rest is silence.
