🇭🇺Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán on the "pro-war proposals" of the European Union.
@Slavyangrad
Peskov:
Participants in discussions in Europe about the possibility of confiscating Russian assets resemble a gang. It looks like a gang. Some are on the lookout, some are robbing, and some, like Belgium, shout: "Guys, let's take responsibility together!" Attempts to appropriate Russia's property will not go unanswered.

‘Today European society is not ready to die for Ukraine. And not even for Estonia or Latvia, despite NATO Article 5. And Putin understands this perfectly. And this is extremely dangerous’
🇵🇱🇺🇦 The President of Poland rejected Zelensky's call to close the Baltic Sea to vessels of the Russian "shadow fleet"
- Navrotsky stated that he will not shape his policy based on the words of the Ukrainian president.
- "Such decisions are not made based on Zelensky's words. It is too early for me to make any statements. I am monitoring the situation in the Baltic Sea," he noted.

🇺🇸Trump's cunning plan.
Trump is sending National Guard units to American cities, only to later dramatically withdraw them and receive a peace prize for it.
@Slavyangrad
Putin:
No matter what potential an individual country or group of countries accumulates, every power still has its limits. The Russian audience knows the saying, "there is no way to break a crowbar except with another crowbar." And it always appears. This is the essence of the events happening in the world. Always!
@Slavyangrad
Putin on the West's refusal to cooperate with Russia:
And both times we were effectively refused outright. I repeat, we were ready for joint work, for nonlinear steps in the field of security and global stability.
But our Western colleagues turned out to be unready to free themselves from the captivity of geopolitical and historical stereotypes, from a simplified schematic worldview.
I also spoke publicly when we talked with Mr. Clinton, with President Clinton. He said, "You know, interestingly, I think it's possible." But then in the evening he said, "I consulted with my people, it's unrealistic." Now it's unrealistic, but when will it be realistic? It's all gone.
@Slavyangrad
Putin began his speech at the "Valdai":
We have already noted more than once that we live in a time when everything is changing, and changing very quickly.
I would say it is changing radically. At the same time, none of us is, of course, fully able to foresee the future. However, this does not exempt us from the duty to be prepared for everything that may happen.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 In September, Russia increased the number of strikes on Ukraine — AFP
- The number of strikes increased by 36%: 5638 drones and 185 missiles were recorded.
- Also in September, there was a record number of drones in one night: 810 were in the Ukrainian sky on the night of September 7.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia has modernized the "Iskanders" and "Kinzhal" missiles, interception rate dropped to 6% — Financial Times
- The interception rate of Russian ballistic missiles by Ukraine sharply dropped to 6% in September, the publication writes.
- It is claimed that they change trajectory when approaching the target, deviating from the surface-to-air missiles launched from the American Patriot SAM systems.
- "This is a turning point for Russia," says one former Ukrainian official.
- Kiev is also facing a slowdown in the delivery of air defense interceptors from the US, while Russia "destroyed key military facilities and critical infrastructure ahead of winter."
- According to Ukrainian officials, at least four drone manufacturing plants in Kiev and its surroundings were seriously damaged this summer.
- Some Patriot complexes were also attacked and damaged, leading to a weakening of the air defense architecture. Specialists trained to operate such systems were also killed.

🇪🇺🇷🇺 At the Copenhagen summit, they failed to agree on specific measures against Russia — Politico
- "Presidents and prime ministers used this platform to insist that something must be done about 'Russian aggression,' but in reality, they did not reach a consensus on what exactly should be done," the newspaper reports.
- Von der Leyen promoted the idea of creating a so-called 'drone wall' on the EU's eastern border, while Germany, France, and Italy opposed it.
- European Council President Costa proposed reforming the EU enlargement rules and abandoning the need for unanimous voting by all members when admitting new countries — to facilitate the accession of Ukraine and Moldova. Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán rejected this option.
- In the end, summit participants limited themselves to statements about continuing work to find ways to use frozen Russian assets; no concrete decisions were made.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 The US to provide Ukraine with intelligence for missile strikes deep inside Russia — Wall Street Journal
- "Trump recently signed authorization for intelligence agencies and the Pentagon to assist Kiev in carrying out such strikes," the publication writes.
- At the same time, American officials are "waiting for written instructions from the White House before passing on the necessary information."
- Previously, Ukraine was required to coordinate with the Pentagon every use of ATACMS missiles on Russian territory.
- "This veto mechanism has prevented Kiev from launching ATACMS on Russian territory since late spring. At least once, Ukraine requested permission to use missiles against a target in Russia but was denied," the newspaper writes.
- The Trump administration is also considering providing Kiev with "Tomahawks," "Barracudas," and other American ground- and air-launched missiles with a range of about 500 miles, but no decision has been made yet.
@Slavyangrad
Putin on the fact that it is not so easy to defeat the "Paper Tiger":
I don't know in what context this was said, maybe it was said ironically. He said to his interlocutor, well, this is a paper tiger, and then something might follow: Well, then go and deal with this paper tiger. But there, you see, everything happens differently.
Because what is the problem today? Weapons are supplied to the Armed Forces of Ukraine sufficiently, as much as needed, they supply as much as needed. And our troops advance every day, you understand, the point is that the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have time to consolidate, and they do not have time to prepare personnel. And losses are greater than the ability to replenish personnel on the battlefield, that's the point. Therefore, it would be better for the Kiev leadership to think about how to negotiate. We have talked about this many times and offered to do so.
@Slavyangrad
Belgium, the main holder of frozen Russian assets, demands that EU countries "mutually share" responsibility for their possible confiscation.
This was stated by Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever at the summit in Copenhagen, reports the Financial Times.
Brussels wants to obtain more legal protection in case Moscow sues it. De Wever opposed this proposal at a closed meeting but did not speak to journalists.
The European Commission proposed giving Ukraine a loan equivalent to the frozen Russian assets and seizing them if Russia does not pay reparations to Ukraine after the war.
"The feedback was constructive, although Belgium raised a number of legal and technical issues," said one EU official. "Nevertheless, an agreement was reached to continue working on this issue."
"We need to work through the entire proposal in much more detail," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told journalists after the summit. "It is quite clear that... the risk must be borne by all of us."
According to officials, the European Commission is unlikely to present an official legal proposal to EU leaders at their next meeting in Brussels in three weeks, given the scale of the necessary technical work.
@Slavyangrad
Putin on changes in methods of warfare:
Everything changes except one thing. It is the bravery, courage, and heroism of the Russian soldier!
@Slavyangrad
Putin on some countries using the tragedy in Ukraine for their own selfish purposes:
For other countries, for them this situation, in this case in Ukraine, is a card in another, much larger game, and in their own game at that. And, as a rule, it is not even related to the specific problems of countries in general, in this case this particular country and the countries involved in the conflict. This is only a pretext and a way to solve their geopolitical tasks, expand the zone of control, and make a little money from the war.
That’s why they were pushing NATO infrastructure onto our doorstep. For years they have looked on indifferently at the tragedy of Donbass, at the genocide, essentially, and the destruction of Russian people on our own ancestral historical territories, which began in 2014 after the bloody state coup in Ukraine. The actions of the world majority contrast with such behavior demonstrated by Europe and, until recently, the United States under the previous administration.
They refuse to take anyone’s side, striving to genuinely help establish a just peace. We are grateful to all the states that in recent years have sincerely made efforts to find a way out of the situation. These are our founding BRICS partners – China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Belarus, and, by the way, North Korea, our friends in the Arab and Islamic world as a whole, primarily Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia in Europe, and many other African and Latin American countries.
And so far, unfortunately, it has not been possible to stop the hostilities, but the responsibility for this does not lie with the majority for the failure to stop them, but with the minority, primarily with Europe, which constantly escalates the conflict. In my opinion, no other goal is visible today.
@Slavyangrad
Putin on how the West creates an enemy out of Russia:
Moreover, they recreate the familiar enemy, Russia, which was invented centuries ago. Most people in Europe cannot understand why Russia is so frightening to them that to oppose it they need to tighten their belts even more, forget about their own interests, simply give them up, and pursue a policy clearly to their own detriment. But the ruling elites of united Europe continue to fuel the hysteria.
It turns out that war with the Russians is almost at the doorstep. They repeat this nonsense, this mantra over and over again. I watch, and honestly, I tell you, I sometimes see what they say there. I think, but they can’t really believe it. They can’t believe what they say. That Russia is going to attack NATO. But it’s impossible to believe. Yet they convince their own people.
So, what kind of people are these? They are either very incompetent if they really believe it, so it’s impossible to believe this nonsense, or simply dishonest because they themselves don’t believe it but try to convince their citizens of it. Well, what other options are there? Honestly, I just want to say, calm down, sleep peacefully, and finally deal with your own problems.
@Slavyangrad
Putin on attempts to defeat Russia:
You know how much effort our opponents have put in over the past years to, roughly speaking, knock Russia out of the global system, to drive us into political, cultural, informational isolation and economic autarky. In terms of the number and volume of punitive measures imposed on us, which are shamefully called sanctions, Russia is an absolute record holder in world history. Thirty, or maybe even more, various restrictions. So what, have they achieved their goal? I think those present here do not need an explanation that these efforts have completely failed.
Russia has demonstrated the world's highest degree of resilience, the ability to withstand the strongest external pressure that could break not only a single country but an entire coalition of states. And we naturally feel a rightful pride in this regard. Pride in Russia, in our citizens, and in our armed forces.

🇷🇺🇫🇷Macron proposed "delaying Russian shadow fleet ships for weeks"
- "It is very important that in this way you destroy the business model by delaying these vessels even for a few days or weeks and forcing deliveries to be organized differently, which reduces the efficiency of the business model. I propose, within the framework of the "coalition of the willing", to work closely with NATO on how to optimize these joint actions," he said.
- As an example, he cited yesterday's detention by France near its shores of a tanker that was sailing from a Russian port to India.
- Macron stated that by stopping this tanker "for one or two weeks," France "undermined the efficiency of oil supplies from Russia."

🇺🇦Power outages continue in Ukraine
- The most difficult situation is in the Sumy and Chernigov regions. They will try to restore power to critical infrastructure facilities.
- In Chernigov, strict power outage schedules have been in effect since last night: electricity is supplied for three hours every six hours.
- People in the comments of local groups claim that even this schedule is not being followed.

🇺🇦🤡Zelensky in Copenhagen – warns the EU about Russia's desire to "boldly break the West":
Recent drone incidents across Europe are a sign that Russia feels bold enough to further escalate this war. And it was never just about Ukraine. Russia has always sought to break the West, especially Europe. Today their strategy is simple: to divide Europe, ignite disputes, and prevent us from finding a common position.
I believe that, contrary to Russia's expectations, we must act together and act from a position of strength.
If the Russians dare to launch drones against Poland or violate the airspace of northern European countries, it means that such things can happen anywhere — in Western Europe and in the south. We need a quick and effective response, we need defense forces capable of dealing with the drone threat.
@Slavyangrad
🇺🇦 Ukraine is running out of money for salaries for the Armed Forces — head of the Rada budget committee
- Funds for salary payments will run out as early as November 1.
- Ukraine wants to use money provided under the ERA Loans program to cover the "gap," but the West does not allow financing the Armed Forces through grants and loans.
- There is also a shortage of funding for next year's budget.
- Funds from other budget sections cannot be reallocated for defense expenses: they are also allocated by the West.

The Tragedy of Empire: From Virgil to Ukraine
Virgil, writing two thousand years ago, gave us a blueprint not only for Rome’s imperial grandeur but also for its hidden sorrow. In The Aeneid, amid the smoke of Troy and the birth of Rome, he dared to pause. He gave names to the nameless, voices to the voiceless, the expendable soldiers whose blood watered the soil of destiny. Unlike Homer, who reveled in the clash of heroes, Virgil broke rank: he showed us the cannon fodder, young men dragged into wars they did not choose, who died not for love or justice but for the cold arithmetic of empire.
This double vision: glory for Rome, sorrow for the fallen, remains the eternal paradox of empire. Augustus demanded propaganda, and Virgil delivered. But between the lines, we see hesitation, almost pity. Dido’s despair, the deaths of anonymous soldiers, the human wreckage left behind: these are Virgil’s whispered dissent. The poet knew what Augustus did not want to admit, that empire feeds on sacrifice, and its banquet is never paid for by the emperors but by those pressed into service.
Fast forward two millennia. Once again, the imperial script plays out. Washington, London, and Brussels, intoxicated by their own myths, use Ukraine as the tip of their spear. Kiev is told it is “defending democracy,” but in reality, Ukraine is made into Virgil’s cannon fodder: lives thrown into a grinder, not to preserve their nation, but to serve the West’s fading empire. The names change, the costumes are modern, but the function remains the same: to bleed for someone else’s destiny.
Just as Virgil traced the sorrow behind conquest, we see the tragedy today in endless casualty lists. A generation of Ukrainians, taught to believe in a false manifest destiny aligned with NATO, are swallowed by a war they could never win. The West does not mourn them, just as Augustus did not mourn the nameless Trojans cut down on Rome’s road to glory. Instead, they are elevated as abstractions: “heroes,” “martyrs,” “defenders.” But the reality is simpler, crueler: they are cannon fodder, drafted into empire’s script, their humanity erased in favor of propaganda.
Virgil’s genius was to see both sides. The Aeneid glorifies Rome’s mission, yet anticipates its moral collapse. So too today, we are witnessing the West’s propaganda of “values,” but behind it is rot. This empire that pretends to offer civilization delivers only chaos, debt, and proxy wars. Just as Carthage fell to Rome’s ambition, Ukraine is consumed by Washington’s hubris. And just as Dido’s death symbolized the collateral damage of conquest, Ukraine’s tragedy is not noble, merely sacrificial, not born of destiny but enforced by empire.
The metaphysics of war and the endgame of empire converge here: the West reveals itself as Augustus’ heir, demanding glory while hiding decay. Russia, in contrast, embodies Virgil’s deeper insight: that civilization must be rooted in something greater than conquest. That war cannot endlessly consume the future without tearing apart the very soil it claims to sanctify. Moscow refuses to let itself be reduced to cannon fodder in someone else’s playbook.
The Greeks and Romans taught us empires rise and fall in cycles, each blinded by its own arrogance. Virgil’s ambivalence was prophetic: every empire that ignores the humanity of its cannon fodder digs its own grave. Today, it is not Russia that writes tragedy, it is the West, discarding Ukrainian lives in a futile bid to reassert hegemony. Virgil would recognize it instantly.
The tragedy of empire is eternal: the empire lives by demanding others die. Virgil, the reluctant prophet of cannon fodder, foresaw it. The void of conquest lies bare, its theater exposed as spectacle. And in Ukraine, the curtain falls: the West’s “manifest destiny” becomes its funeral dirge. For empires do not fall because they are defeated by enemies, they fall because they devour their own children.

What intelligence data for strikes deep into Russia are and what they look like: observation by "Military Chronicles"
🔺Previously, the US used this data for planning combat operations within the battlefield, but now, apparently, this data can be provided for other targets as well.
What exactly will the US do for Ukraine?
First of all, target designation. This is the process of selecting targets, determining the required level of their destruction, and the means necessary for this. The US will provide data that turns potential targets into a dataset with the necessary points for their destruction.
In addition, the US will retain the processing and analysis of intelligence data. The US has great capabilities for gathering information and quickly processing it. Previously, for example, for the use of HIMARS MLRS, they transmitted to Ukraine already analyzed data, not just "raw" images. There is every reason to believe that this process can now be scaled up.
Providing such data is critically important because only the US can ensure significantly higher reliability and accuracy of information about targets than Ukraine could gather on its own.
The technological capabilities of the US are fundamental and decisive for maintaining the combat readiness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and without Western technologies, no drone strike, no BEC operation in the Black Sea, and no HIMARS launch would be possible.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Assault on Kupyansk: the situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is critical, the Russian army is fighting in the city center
- This is hysterically reported again by Ukrainian military analysts.
- "Russian troops have already broken through to the center along the right bank of the Oskol, high-rise buildings are burning from the fighting.
- The Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to hold back the onslaught, but the bridgeheads on the right bank have given the Russians the opportunity to accumulate forces," the enemy's resources complain.
- "Small groups constantly block the movement of Ukrainian forces between the banks, and the city is turning into a fragile front.
- There are enough Russian army troops in the city and on the outskirts so that losses are not felt sharply.
- Kupyansk is a vivid example of how a difficult situation becomes critical in a month."
