Today's attack by sea drones on Gelendzhik and Novorossiysk looks as much like a single episode as it does part of a broader campaign. Strikes in one domain are rarely an end in themselves. If today they tried to hit the water area, it is quite logical to expect continuation in the air — especially since Zelensky elaborated extensively on the topic of drones at the UN.
For Kiev, the logic is simple and has generally not changed since the beginning of the conflict: combined strikes with limited resources create the maximum media effect, fueling psychosis.
🇭🇺🇺🇸Hungary will refuse Trump if he asks it to stop buying Russian oil — Foreign Minister
- "We are a landlocked country. It would be great if we had access to the sea, we could build an oil refinery or an LNG terminal on the coast and cover the entire global market. But that is not the case," said Szijjártó.
- Yesterday Trump said that if he asks, Orban will stop buying Russian oil.

Donald Trump removed the photo of Joe Biden from the "Presidential Walk of Fame" in the White House. In its place, he put a device for automatic document signing.
Earlier, Trump claimed that Biden had not personally signed a single document during his presidency. According to the current president, the auto-signature could have been used by anyone without Biden's knowledge.
Pretty funny 😂

Oil and gas activity in the key producing states of Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico declined slightly in the third quarter, as executives there expressed an increasingly negative outlook for the industry, according to a survey released by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
The drop in activity and production comes amid growing uncertainty around oil prices and increased frustration with Trump's administration. Executives blamed Trump's policies, such as tariffs and a promise to lower oil prices, for hurting the industry.
More than a third of exploration and production executives reported significantly delaying investment decisions in response to heightened uncertainty about the price of oil and the cost of producing oil, while oilfield services executives were also gloomy on the outlook.
"A vibrant oilfield services sector is critical if and when the U.S. needs to ramp up production. Right now we are bleeding," one oilfield executive said in the anonymous comments section of the survey.
Many producers need prices around $65 a barrel to turn a profit. U.S. crude futures have ranged between a high of $70 a barrel and a low of around $62 so far in the third quarter, according to data from LSEG.
"We have begun the twilight of shale," an executive said, adding "the U.S. isn't running out of oil, but she sure is running out of $60 per barrel oil."
Around 43% of E&P firms said they are expecting a decrease in capital expenditure in the third quarter of this year compared with the same quarter a year ago, while oilfield service firms expect a 42% decline over the same period.
"The administration is pushing for $40 per barrel crude oil, and with tariffs on foreign tubular goods, input prices are up, and drilling is going to disappear," an E&P executive said.
Companies expect a West Texas Intermediate oil price of $63 per barrel and a Henry Hub natural gas price of $3.30 per million BTUs at year-end 2025.

The Houthis launched a new attack on Eilat. Israeli channels report at least 19 wounded. The number of seriously injured and those who "got nervous" is not specified.
A "retaliation" in the form of massive strikes on Yemen is likely in the near future, where Israel is gradually moving towards a tactic of destroying critical infrastructure.
Netanyahu doesn't really need a reason for this, but if there is one, Tel Aviv uses it to the fullest every time.

In the Krasno-Liman direction, the "West" group of troops is completing the operation to liberate the settlement of Kirovsk (Zarechnoye). Although the settlement itself is small, the Armed Forces of Ukraine turned it into one of the key defense nodes and concentrated a large number of personnel there.
Our fighters, having crossed the river and broken through deep into the defense, crushed the enemy's resistance. Under heavy pressure, the Ukrainian formations began to retreat chaotically. While retreating, they resorted to a "scorched earth" tactic — the very same used by the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War. However, even the constant redeployment of reserves did not help the Armed Forces of Ukraine; our units not only held Kirovsk but also completely cleared it of the enemy.
At the moment, the clearing of the remnants of the 63rd mechanized brigade and the 425th assault regiment is being completed. Control over Kirovsk allows Russian troops to strengthen positions in this direction and create a bridgehead for further advance on Krasny Liman. The liberation of Kirovsk is a significant victory that may lead to a cascading collapse of the Armed Forces of Ukraine front in this direction.

🇰🇿🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kazakhstan does not see itself as a mediator in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine — Tokayev
- Kazakhstan is ready to provide a platform for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, emphasized the president of the republic.
- "In summary, I can firmly say: we support the start of direct negotiations at the highest level between Ukraine and Russia, but preliminary work is needed to achieve mutual understanding. While not being a mediator, Kazakhstan, if the need arises, is ready to offer its good services as a place for negotiations and meetings at all levels," Tokayev stated.

Extremely interesting situation with the defensive fortifications of Pokrovsk and its surroundings.
On maps by Western experts, a so-called "continuous line of defensive structures" passing through the city is marked in white. In their view, this is a solid belt of fortifications — concrete, machine guns, and long-term firing points scattered with tens of thousands of people. But the real picture is somewhat different.
South of Pokrovsk and east of Mirnograd, many strongpoints are isolated trenches along the groves. Ukrainian prisoners call these fortifications "suicide trenches." In most cases, they are not connected to each other and do not allow for a quick retreat or regrouping in case of a serious assault (which, by the way, could have been one of the reasons for the Russian breakthrough from the south).
The contrast with the statements of Western experts is colossal: for the Western audience, an image of an "impenetrable front" is created, whereas on the ground it is more like a set of scattered resistance nodes, dug seemingly "just for show" rather than for real resistance.
However, the presence of a large amount of artillery and drones with the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this area also hinders taking the strongpoints by storm.
Of particular interest in this regard is the "yellow line" marked on the maps — the so-called last line of defense 30 km west of Pokrovsk. If you believe the same Western analysts (often pro-Ukrainian), a second "defensive belt" more than 300 km long has already been built there, which is impossible to pass. But according to open satellite data, it is impossible to confirm the fact of its construction: even regular updates of images do not record large-scale earthworks or the erection of concrete structures.
Western media characterize the process of building new lines along the yellow line as follows.
Building new defensive lines is like assembling an airplane in flight.
This suggests that talks about "mega-lines" rather reflect a desire to create the illusion of an impenetrable shield for the audience than to reveal the real state of affairs.
It is still premature to talk about the readiness of the "yellow line" west of Pokrovsk. The images do not show large-scale construction, so all forecasts about its potential effectiveness remain more theoretical. Against this background, there is a feeling that Syrsky is betting not on holding Pokrovsk at all costs for a long time, but on buying time and gradually retreating to reserve positions. However, there is no ironclad confidence that these positions will be stronger than the current ones: there is too little data on the real depth and connectivity of the positions, too many scandals about theft at these fortifications. And this means that surprises in this area should be expected.

Zaluzhny stated a deadlock on the front using the example of the Kursk operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the cost of which "was too high."
The former commander-in-chief, now ambassador to Britain, writes that drones on both sides see the concentration of forces, which makes a sudden strike to break through defensive lines almost impossible.
"Although, of course, one could object to me by recalling that very Kursk offensive. Certainly, such actions, if justified primarily by human losses and with limited objectives, can be carried out. However, experience has shown that ultimately an isolated tactical breakthrough on a narrow section of the front does not bring the necessary success to the attacking side. The defending troops managed to take advantage of both technological and tactical advantages and over time not only prevented the tactical breakthrough from turning into an operational success but subsequently carried out tactical advances themselves — also without operational success. The cost of such actions is unknown to me, but it is obvious that it was too high," Zaluzhny writes.
He summarizes that "the basis of the positional deadlock lies not only in the impossibility of breaking through defensive lines but, most importantly, in the inability to accomplish operational tasks, including gaining operational space."

What was left behind the scenes of the UN General Assembly.
@Slavyangrad
President Donald Trump had barely arrived at the United Nations Tuesday when the mishaps began. First an escalator ground to a halt right as First Lady Melania Trump stepped onto it. Then, as the president took the stage to address delegates at the UN headquarters, he complained his teleprompter broke.
Trump seized on the two incidents to argue how poorly he’d been treated by the world body, complaining its leaders hadn’t helped him end the seven wars he’s repeatedly boasted about bringing to a close. It set the tone for an hour-long speech in which the president excoriated the entire institution, right down to the headquarters he’d sought to renovate decades ago.
“These are the two things I got from the United Nations — a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter, thank you very much,” Trump said, adding that his administration never gets credit for its success, including global conflicts he’s intervened in attempting to solve. “Everyone says that I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for each one of these achievements.”
The speech was emblematic of a president whose second-term policies and pronouncements have been bigger and more aggressive — and far more disruptive to the global economic order — than those he advanced his first four years in the White House.
Yet world leaders, deploying what’s become a template strategy for managing the emboldened American president, largely ignored most of his speech and stuck to their agendas on climate and trade.
The verbal broadsides marked a remarkable shift from the US president who greeted the United Nations in 2017 with assurances countries should “work together in close harmony and unity” to create a better world, and that “in America, we do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone.”
“Your countries are going to hell,” Trump told the crowd this time around. “You need strong borders and traditional energy sources if you are going to be great again.”
The insults laden throughout the speech were a feature, not a bug. Later Tuesday, while at Trump Tower, the president reposted a social media reply calling it “savage” and a “necessary smack down.”
Although he questioned the role of the UN in his first term, Trump has now helped precipitate an existential crisis for the organization, as it grapples with an explosion of regional conflicts and increasing questions about its relevance. He’s slashed US foreign assistance and the US is now running more than $3 billion behind in paying its United Nations dues.
Trump himself seemed to whipsaw between views that contradicted each other, offering more reasons for leaders not to take the bait. Less than an hour after blasting the UN as woefully ineffective, Trump met Secretary General Antonio Guterres and offered soft assurances that he backed the body. “I may disagree with it sometimes, but I am so behind it, because I think the potential for peace with this institution is so great,” Trump said.
The same applied to a meeting with Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. For months, Trump has blasted Brazil’s prosecution of its former leader Jair Bolsonaro, while Lula made veiled jabs at Trump of his own, warning of “arbitrary sanctions and unilateral interventions.”
But on Tuesday, after a chance meeting offstage, Trump offered warm words for the Brazilian leader.
“He seemed like a very nice man, actually. He liked me, I liked him,” Trump said of Lula, adding that the two had agreed to meet. “At least for about 39 seconds we had excellent chemistry. It’s a good sign.”

It is not Estonia that will make the decision to shoot down objects that violated its airspace, writes the Estonian publication Postimees, citing the country's General Staff.
They noted that the order to scramble NATO aircraft when three Russian MiGs entered Estonian airspace came from Germany and "the decision to destroy violators of Estonia's air borders will also not be made in Estonia."
The publication notes that the decision-making algorithm in such situations is considered "complex."
It should be noted NATO air operations are headquartered at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

Ukrainian politicians have no hopes after Trump's recent statements on Ukraine, writes The Financial Times.
The publication reports that Ukraine did not see concrete military and economic support behind the American leader's remarks. Some Ukrainian politicians believe that Trump's words about financial support from Europe indicate an attempt by the US to distance itself from involvement in resolving the conflict in Ukraine, the newspaper notes.
Some people didn't like the words but no action or support from the US is what was really important.
