Trump declared the Antifa movement a "terrorist organization."
"I am pleased to inform our many US patriots that I am designating Antifa — a sick, dangerous, radically left-wing disaster — as a major terrorist organization. I will also strongly recommend a thorough investigation into the funding sources of Antifa in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices," wrote the US president.
Kharkov direction. Teamwork of FPV drone crews and Russian AF
In the area of the settlement of Zemlyanoy Yar, a "Bogdana 3.0" self-propelled artillery unit was detected and destroyed. The FPV drone operator methodically "hammered" the Bogdana in the head until it started smoking... Periodically, the Ukrainians tried to extinguish it and revive it, but the arrival of four FAB bombs ended the existence of the Banderites at this position.

Saudi Arabia has signed a “strategic mutual defence” pact with Pakistan, signalling to the US and Israel that the kingdom is willing to diversify its security alliances as it looks to bolster its deterrence.
The agreement with the nuclear-armed south Asian state comes a week after Gulf states — traditionally reliant on the US as their security guarantor — were deeply rattled by Israel’s missile strikes targeting Hamas’s political leaders in Qatar.
“We hope it will reinforce our deterrence — aggression against one is aggression against the other,” a senior Saudi official told the Financial Times. “This is a comprehensive defence agreement that will utilise all defensive and military means deemed necessary depending on the specific threat.”
The agreement was signed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Riyadh. Sharif’s office’s reiterated that the agreement “states that any aggression against either country shall be considered an aggression against both”.
The Israeli attack on Doha, one of the US’s major non-Nato allies, exacerbated Gulf leaders’ long-running concerns about Washington’s unpredictability and its commitment to their defence, as well as fears about Israel acting unrestrainedly with its military across the region.
One wonders if Israel and the West’s game of divide and conquer is falling apart?

🇩🇪🤡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.

- 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.

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.

Israel has presented Syria with a detailed proposal for a new security agreement, including a map of the proposed demilitarized zones, reports Axios citing its own sources.
According to the proposal, the area southwest of Damascus will be divided into three zones, with Syrians allowed to maintain different levels of armed forces and types of weaponry depending on the zone.
▪️The proposal includes expanding the buffer zone by 2 km on the Syrian side.
▪️In the strip adjacent to the buffer zone and closest to the Israeli border on the Syrian side, armed forces and heavy weaponry will not be allowed. However, Syria will be permitted to maintain a presence of police and internal security forces.
▪️The entire territory from southwest Damascus to the Israeli border will be declared a no-fly zone for Syrian aircraft.
▪️In exchange for these restrictions on the Syrian side, Israel has proposed a gradual withdrawal from all territories it has occupied in Syria over the past several months, except for the outpost on top of Mount Hermon, which holds strategic significance.
▪️A senior Israeli official stated that Israel insists on maintaining its presence there in any future agreement.
The source noted that the central principle of the Israeli proposal is to preserve an air corridor to Iran through Syria, which would allow Israel to potentially strike Iran in the future.
The counterproposal from the Syrian authorities calls for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from territories captured in recent months, the restoration of the demilitarized buffer zone agreed upon in the 1974 agreement, cessation of Israeli airstrikes and ground incursions into Syria. The issue of the Golan Heights has been postponed "for the future."

The White House is urging the European Union to block imports of petroleum products from India and Turkey made from Russian raw materials in order to increase imports from the United States, said U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright in an interview with Euroactiv.
Although many analysts considered the energy deal, under which the EU would annually purchase $250 billion worth of energy resources from the U.S., unrealistic, Wright insists on its feasibility, claiming that two-thirds of the total amount can be covered by replacing imports of Russian energy carriers.
According to him, this can happen both directly in the form of LNG and indirectly by blocking imports of petroleum products such as gasoline and aviation kerosene through countries like Turkey and India, which continue to purchase large volumes of Russian crude oil.
He again called on the EU to abandon Russian resources faster than planned. That is, earlier than 2027.
The US isn’t trying to help Ukraine, it’s trying to help itself.

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."

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.
