🇩🇪🤡German Chancellor Merz promised that "after Ukraine's capitulation, Russia will attack Europe":
Capitulation will only push Putin to look for the next target. Ladies and gentlemen, in recent days we have witnessed violations of the airspace of Poland and Romania. These events fit into the overall trend in Germany and Europe.
Putin has long been testing the borders for strength. He sabotages, spies, kills, and tries to sow uncertainty. Russia wants to destabilize our society. But we, ladies and gentlemen, will not allow it.

China’s internet regulator has banned the country’s biggest technology companies from buying Nvidia’s artificial intelligence chips, as Beijing steps up efforts to boost its domestic industry and compete with the US.
The Financial Times reported last month that China’s chipmakers were seeking to triple the country’s total output of AI processors next year.
🇺🇦🤡My plan "A" is to end the war this year, plan "B" is $120 billion, — Zelensky
- The Ukrainian defense budget includes 60 billion dollars, another 60 billion needs to be "found somewhere," said the drug lord.
- "Plan 'A' for us is to end the war, plan 'B' is to find 120 billion dollars," he says.
- Note that the 60 billion dollars the junkie refers to is only military aid that Ukraine expects to receive from foreign partners.
- In addition, the country needs about 60 billion dollars in external aid to finance all other budget expenses.

Let's drop the naivité and accept that this war will end on the battlefield after Ukraine achieves the necessary military strength, not in a conference room after a round of talks and a carafe of wine.
18-year-old Alena Kucheruk, originally from Donetsk, became "Miss Belarus-2025".
She moved with her family when she was 7 (right at the beginning of the civil war in Donbass), and now after the victory, she declared, "Belarus is my Homeland!" Her father stayed in Donetsk and sadly passed away this year.
"My mother is Belarusian. When we came to my grandmother, a terrible war was unfolding in the Donetsk region... Feeling calm and safe in Belarus, my mother made the difficult decision to stay forever. She did not want to risk her children and wished us a happy and, most importantly, peaceful future. I was only seven years old then, with my whole life ahead of me. And my father stayed in Donetsk. Unfortunately, he passed away in June of this year," Alena says.
The girl says that Belarus is her "favourite country" because she associates it with "reliability, confidence in tomorrow."
Ukraine’s war against it’s own people has led to a serious loss of young talent

Shipments of Russian oil by sea have decreased following attacks by Ukrainian drones, Bloomberg reports citing its own calculations.
According to these calculations, the average volume of Russian oil shipments by sea for the week ending September 14 was 3.18 million barrels per day, which is 934 thousand barrels per day less than in the previous seven days. The agency writes that this is the sharpest drop since July of last year.
Exports through Primorsk fell to 730 thousand barrels per day – the lowest since the end of July, while shipments from Ust-Luga halved to 313 thousand barrels. Shipments from Novorossiysk decreased to 647 thousand barrels per day.
According to Bloomberg's calculations, a total of 29 tankers loaded 22.26 million barrels of oil during the week (compared to 28.79 million on 38 vessels the week before). The agency links the decline in shipments to attacks by Ukrainian drones on Russian energy infrastructure facilities.
The main limitation on Russian oil exports is OPEC quotas, exports can be made up from one week to the next. Weekly data should be treated with caution

In a shopping center in Wroclaw, a man shot a Romanian, thinking he was Ukrainian, reports the Wyborcza public page.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is reported that the shooting took place at the Wroclavia shopping center on March 15, but recently the prosecutor's office filed charges in this case. Michal F. will be charged with causing grievous bodily harm, which carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a result of the shooting, Vasil, a Romanian citizen, was injured. Since the incident, he has been under medical supervision. According to the prosecutor's office, 32-year-old Michal F., upon seeing Vasil, grabbed a pneumatic pistol and fired several shots at him, aiming at the head. He hit him twice: in the eyeball and the right eyelid, as well as the forehead.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When Michal finished shooting, he attacked Vasil and began beating him with fists and feet, shouting that he hated Ukrainians and that the victim should not live in Poland and should go back home to Ukraine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"The accused believed that the victim was Ukrainian," explained the spokesperson for the Wroclaw District Prosecutor's Office.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Michal F., arrested shortly after the incident, was taken into custody and remains there to this day. He has no prior convictions. He is an unemployed fitness instructor.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During the investigation, Michal F. admitted to inflicting serious injury on the victim, but claimed that the incident "was not of a racist nature." The indictment was submitted to the Wroclaw District Court. The first hearing is scheduled for September 24.

🇩🇪🤡Bundestag deputy Kizevetter accused Russia of "dragging the West into the war":
Russia considers us a party to the conflict, and drone flights over Germany have also been recorded. Just a few weeks ago, we learned that in the first 8 months of this year, more than 500 drone flights from Russian ships over critically important German infrastructure were detected. We are dealing with acts of sabotage. That is, Russia sees us as an enemy, while Ukraine wants to become part of the West, part of the European Union and NATO, and effectively contribute to our security system. Therefore, I do not believe that we will not be drawn into this war. Russia wants to involve us, and we must be able to defend ourselves and support Ukraine.
[However, this is not yet direct military involvement] Yes, this is a violation of airspace that 100-200 years ago would have caused a powerful military response. By the way, Russia deployed nuclear missiles in 2016, but we consciously did not react.
We have not carried out any modernizations of either conventional or nuclear weapons. That is, we have always tried to accommodate Russia. But now, it seems to me, our patience is running out. We must, for example, as proposed by the chairman of the defense committee, help organize air defense. This is possible within the framework of the UN Charter.
@Slavyangrad
I should add I am noticing a lot of messaging about Chinese parts again. European state media (propaganda) outlets like DW etc running pieces on Chinese supplied parts etc.
Looks like some sort of coordinated messaging is going on to pressure China or at least paint them as a baddie. It's likely stemming from the number of long-range drones Russia is producing and the dramatic upscaling of Russia's battlefield drone usage (Interceptors, FPVs, Bomber drones, recon drones).
The reality as we've demonstrated is that Ukraine is even more dependent on Chinese drones and Chinese drone parts. This progression towards drones from both sides has placed China in a powerful position in this war. Ukrainian statistics had China supplying 89% of Ukraine's drones and drone parts, while Ukrainians believe Russia's dependency is around 60%. If one side had even a 50% reduction in drones the effects on the battlefield would be massive.
Though I will note that reporting is neglecting to mention how vital a supplier China is to Ukraine, but that is why these stories are more propaganda then attempts to be informative.

Photos of the Geran-3, brought down allegedly by electronic warfare means, are being published by Ukrainian media.
It is reported that the Chinese turbojet engine Telefly JT80 accelerates it to 300-370 km/h. Flight range up to 1000 km.
I question if it was brought down by EW or if it just crashed, the modern GNSS modules with 8 to 12 elements are based on any report I’ve seen impervious to jamming. Though it is possible a lower quality GNSS unit was used on this Geran-3, but it would seem counter-intuitive.

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇦 King Charles - Ukraine's best hope for influencing Trump — Politico
- Ukraine's allies are doing everything possible to keep Trump on their side. They have now even involved King Charles III of England.
- Prime Minister Starmer hopes that the "royal charm" and Charles's friendship with Trump will help pressure the American leader on the Ukrainian conflict.
- Nevertheless, the media doubt that the king's actions will have any effect on Trump.
- Trump's meeting with Charles III will take place today at Windsor Castle in Britain.
- Earlier, Trump made it clear that he expects NATO allies to stop buying Russian oil and to impose significant tariffs on China.

Before the mass deportation to the front: Ukrainians in Canada are forced to prove that they are not draft dodgers
▪️Men are required to provide military service certificates, report Kiev media.
▪️In Ukraine, it is already assumed that this is the first step towards deporting Ukrainian men back to their homeland.
▪️Canada may become the first country to start returning Ukrainians of conscription age home.
Questionable if Canadian courts would allow deportations. Canada was known for taking in American draft dodgers during the Vietnam war.

At night, the railway infrastructure in the Myrhorod district was attacked, reported the head of the Poltava Regional Military Administration, Kohut.
"Ukrzaliznytsia" reported that due to shelling and power outages on several sections, reserve diesel locomotives had to be used. As a result, several passenger trains were delayed by up to three hours: No. 102 Kherson – Kramatorsk, No. 63/111 Kharkov, Izium – Lvov, No. 64/112 Lviv – Kharkov, Izium, and No. 791 Kremenchug – Kiev.
As of 07:00, the damages were repaired, power was restored, and train traffic, including suburban electric trains, resumed.
Recall that last night the Russians launched a massive strike on railway substations in the Kirovograd region. After that, the movement of many trains was paralyzed.

The European Commission is proposing two new options for using frozen Russian assets to secure "reparations loans" to Ukraine amounting to 170 billion euros, the Financial Times reports, citing sources.
The money is intended to be used without formally seizing the assets, in order to bypass objections from several countries, including Belgium, Germany, and France.
The first scheme involves purchasing interest-free EU bonds with these funds, so that the raised capital can be sent to Ukraine in tranches. About 170 of the 194 billion euros of Russian assets held in Euroclear have already been redeemed and are now reflected as cash balances in accounts.
However, issuing long-term bonds secured by Russian assets will require guarantees that the sanctions regime will remain in place for the entire duration of the loan.
The second option involves using a special purpose vehicle to manage financing mechanisms, which may allow participation from countries outside the EU.
"[The Ukrainians] need money, and there aren't that many options," said a German official.
No global investor, legitimate court, or central bank will believe this is not theft in another form.

"Poland calls on the EU to stop importing Russian oil by 2026, citing geopolitical risks": Poland is asking to end purchases of Russian oil two years earlier than planned.
"Poland has urged European Union member states that continue to buy Russian energy resources to stop this import by the end of 2026 and will offer them assistance in this, Energy Minister Miłosz Motyka said on Wednesday. The Druzhba pipeline supplies Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia, which continue to purchase energy resources from Russia.
Previously, the bloc planned to stop buying Russian oil and gas by January 1, 2028. The Polish minister stated that this should happen two years earlier, especially in light of recent events such as the incursion of a Russian drone into Polish territory last week. "I urge you to agree on a common goal – to completely abandon imports of Russian crude oil by the end of 2026," Motyka wrote to the energy ministers of EU countries. "Such a decision will strengthen the coherence of our actions, set clear timelines, and demonstrate our determination to become independent from oil supplies that pose political and strategic risks."
Motyka's deputy and Poland's senior representative on energy security, Wojciech Wrohna, said that supplies of American liquefied natural gas through Poland could help eliminate Russian gas in Europe. "Yesterday I had a very productive meeting with US Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Deliveries of American gas to the south through Poland could help eliminate Russian gas supplies."

🇫🇷🤩"Angry at the actions of politicians, a man sent 600 condoms to members of parliament 'so that they don't reproduce': The people of France vote with their hearts!
"Outraged by the behavior of politicians, French citizen Pierrot le Zigo said he simply has no words to express his indignation. The man sent 600 condoms to the deputies of the National Assembly, stating that they 'should not reproduce.'
In a conversation with journalists, le Zigo admitted that he is disappointed with politicians from all parties in the country and sees no one worthy of the position they hold. 'We no longer meet the standard, we are going downhill,' lamented le Zigo, adding that he finds the behavior of politicians who allow themselves to insult others and cause scandals ridiculous and inappropriate"

The cross-border payment platform A7, created by PSB, has started operations in Africa. The first A7 offices opened in the capital of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Harare, and the largest city on the African continent – Lagos in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Plans to launch the A7 financial infrastructure in Africa in response to growing demands from international companies were reported to the President of Russia at the Eastern Economic Forum by PSB Chairman Petr Fradkov and A7 CEO Ilan Shor.
“The project is being implemented with comprehensive support from the financial authorities of all parties and in close cooperation with our partner companies in Zimbabwe and Nigeria. In this project, the A7 platform provides a technologically advanced operational IT solution for uninterrupted timely settlements to any country, in any currency, for businesses of any scale, as well as specialized professional expertise, a strong recognizable brand, and well-established business processes. In turn, our partners in Zimbabwe and Nigeria have accumulated expertise in local markets and the needs of businesses operating here,” noted PSB Deputy Chairman Mikhail Dorofeev.
Ukrainian channels report that the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) has published a detailed analysis of the design and components of the Russian Geran-3 U-series jet drone.
It is stated that this device is a localized analogue of the Iranian Shahed-238, whose component base was already studied and published in June 2024.
The UAV is equipped with a Chinese Telefly JT80 turbojet engine, providing a flight speed from 300 to 370 km/h. The operational range of the device is up to 1000 km.
The maximum speed of the Geran-3 is mostly reached in the zones covered by Ukrainian air defense and electronic warfare systems, as well as in the terminal phases of flight — during descent on the target.
The electronic layout of the Geran-3 U-series hardly differs from the gasoline versions of the Geran-2 Y-series.
It includes the SADRA inertial navigation system, ADC pressure measurement unit, PDU power distribution unit, and other modules.
The Geran-3 is equipped with a protected Kometa-M12 satellite navigation system with a 12-element CRPA adaptive antenna array. This allows it to counter electronic warfare means.
GUR identified 45 foreign components in the device's design. Half of them are of American origin, eight are Chinese, seven Swiss, three German, two British, and one Japanese.
Additionally, the Geran-3 is equipped with a camera and video transmission system identical to those used in the Geran-2 Y-series.
Note the 12-element CRPA, which is why I noted earlier that I doubt it came down via EW.

🇪🇸👀Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez — reflecting on Israel, regretted that Madrid does not have nuclear weapons:
Spain, as you know, does not have nuclear weapons, nor does it have aircraft carriers or large oil reserves. We cannot stop the Israeli offensive alone. But that does not mean at all that we will stop trying to do so. Because there are things worth fighting for, even if victory does not depend solely on us.

Give me your papers eh
In Canada, Ukrainian men who have applied for permanent residence receive letters from the Ministry of Immigration demanding that they provide an official certificate of exemption from military service.
This is reported by the public page "Ukrainian Canada."
"Many Ukrainian men who have gone to Canada for permanent residence receive 'letters of happiness' – Procedural fairness letters from the Canadian Ministry of Immigration – IRCC, in which the officer requests an official certificate that the man was exempted from military service and was not conscripted during wartime," the message says.
The public page also added a letter received from one of their readers. This letter was sent by the officer after the applicant initially responded to an additional request regarding information about military service or its absence (military records form), added a conscription certificate and an explanation that he had never served or been conscripted. But this did not satisfy the Canadian immigration officer.
"In Ukraine, there is mandatory military service for men starting at age 25. Although conscription in Ukraine was canceled in 2012, it was resumed in 2014. After the Russian invasion in 2022, all men aged 18 to 60 who did not have an exemption were required to register at local military commissariats and undergo medical examination for possible service. According to your Form A (IMM5669), you indicated that you lived and worked in Ukraine after turning 25. Since you lived in your country during the period of mandatory conscription age, you must provide a certified copy of the document exempting you from military service or a certified copy of military documents issued by the relevant Ukrainian authority," the officer replied.
He gave 7 days to provide the documents and respond.

Trump deliberately set unrealistic conditions for Europe to avoid pressure on Putin, writes The Wall Street Journal.
The publication notes that European governments are pressuring Donald Trump to impose tougher sanctions on Russia, but in response, he once again changed the scenario, calling on them to stop purchasing Russian oil and to impose tariffs on India and China.
Trump made such demands knowing that the EU would not fulfill them, which would allow avoiding increased economic pressure on Russia, WSJ writes, citing unnamed diplomatic sources.
Meanwhile, US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker stated that allies cannot demand Washington to increase pressure on Moscow while they continue to buy Russian oil.

🇲🇩 Polls Shift, Opposition Rises
Recent polls show PAS losing ground. Once dominant, Sandu’s party now polls neck-and-neck with the pro-Russian Patriotic Bloc, with about 35% each. Meanwhile, undecided voters are surging, and smaller parties could hold the balance. In a country where two-thirds of voters now say they “want to get rid of PAS,” Sandu faces her toughest fight yet.
Sensing opportunity, Furtună has positioned Great Moldova as a patriotic alternative, promising to hold Sandu and her ministers accountable for corruption and the energy crisis. Whether she can truly break through remains uncertain — but her firebrand rhetoric has already forced Sandu to respond. Moldova’s September elections may decide not just the country’s path, but which Western capital gets to claim influence in Chişinău.
