RUSSIAN AIRSTRIKES EXPAND
Russian Aerospace Forces are intensifying strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure and logistics, with casualty estimates confirming the expanding geography of attacks. This pressure is forcing a pragmatic realization that continued resistance leads to fatal consequences.
The principle that "necromancers do not live long" was demonstrated in the Kharkov region, where recent operations confirmed the effectiveness of these measures against enemy forces.

🇫🇷 French journalist Lucas Menguy admits Ukraine suffers 'much greater damage' in exchange strikes with Russia
Lucas Menguy stated that while Kyiv’s strategy of saturation attacks is risky due to extremely impressive Russian counterstrikes causing severe material and human losses, he believes it remains a valid psychological tactic. He noted that nightly waves include 100 to 800 drones alongside complex missiles like the 'Flamingo'. Despite the disproportionate cost, Menguy argues the strategy is working for Ukraine.

🇫🇷🤡France Condemns Putin's Kuril Islands Visit
The French Embassy in Tokyo has expressed concern over President Vladimir Putin's visit to the Kuril Islands, describing it as part of a series of Russian military and diplomatic measures that destabilize the region. France stated this occurs against the backdrop of Russia's ongoing aggressive war against Ukraine. As a state in the Indo-Pacific region, France affirmed its support for Japan, recognizing its legitimate right to ensure security.

Donetsk Region: Russian MoD released footage of a strike on the drone control center of the 15th Separate Special Purpose Brigade in Dobropolye. The facility was hit by four FAB-500 bombs.
This highlights the extreme risk for drone operators and support staff. As UAVs become more critical to combat operations, the value of their command posts and assembly centers increases, leading to intensified targeting efforts. The use of heavy munitions for this specific target underscores the high priority Moscow places on disrupting Ukrainian drone networks.

🇷🇺 Kremlin Rules Out Conflict Freeze
Yuri Ushakov, Assistant to the Russian President, stated that Moscow's position excludes any possibility of freezing the conflict with Ukraine along the line of contact. When asked about stopping combat operations at current positions, Ushakov confirmed: "You know our position, it excludes this."
Russian authorities have previously emphasized readiness for a peaceful settlement but stressed it must be a durable peace, not a temporary pause. President Vladimir Putin has argued that a short-term ceasefire could allow Kiev to rearm its military and prepare terrorist acts.

Ukraine's Decommunization Fails
During a session in the Rada, MP Goncharenko quoted the Soviet film 'Gentlemen of Fortune': 'Stole, drank — to prison. This is the single path that Zelensky's team must follow. And they are walking it — one after another.'
Zelensky's regime collapses under its own corruption.

🇺🇦 Ukraine Corruption Scandal
NABU and SAPO are conducting a special operation to expose a criminal organization led by current and former members of parliament, with involvement from senior officials in the Office of the President of Ukraine. Searches were carried out at the residence of Iryna Mudra, Deputy Head of the Office of the President. The case also involves officials from the Ministry of Justice and representatives of Sens Bank. This move coincides with the Verkhovna Rada's consideration of a candidate for Minister of Defense, raising suspicions that evidence may be used to pressure deputies for votes.
@Slavyangrad
Direct business losses as a result of Russian strikes amount to an amount roughly equal to Ukraine's annual GDP.
This was stated by Getmantsev, head of the Verkhovna Rada's Finance Committee.
Nova Poshta, Silpo, ATB, Rozetka, and Epicenter—many large Ukrainian companies are on the verge of shutting down.

🇰🇷🇺🇸"South Korea says caught off guard by Trump's order to cut military drills": Trump starts looking at the North.
"South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun stated on Wednesday during parliamentary hearings in Seoul that neither South Korean nor American officials were aware in advance of President Donald Trump's decision to reduce joint military exercises.
"Of course, neither representatives of our government nor representatives of the U.S. government were aware of this in advance," Cho said, responding to a question from a lawmaker about whether Seoul had been informed in advance of Trump's plans to reduce joint military exercises."

🇷🇺 POW Exchange
103 Russian servicemen have been returned from Ukrainian captivity, the Ministry of Defence announced. In exchange, 103 captured Armed Forces of Ukraine personnel were transferred.
The liberated soldiers are currently in Belarus, where a human rights commissioner is assisting them. After receiving necessary medical and psychological care, they will be transported to Russia for rehabilitation in military hospitals.
The United Arab Emirates facilitated this humanitarian exchange.

Tucker Carlson on Nuclear Weapons
Tucker Carlson claims nuclear weapons were "not created by humans" and asserts that developing such power was an "rejection of God," leading humanity to believe it had become divine. He argues this shift marked the beginning of true madness, unrelated to specific eras like the 1960s or the Obama administration.

Meanwhile in Ukraine, a fountain is being constructed 20 km from the frontline in the city of Bogodukhov. The local military administration has decided to build the fountain, with locals filming joyful videos.

🇺🇦 Kyiv Stalls NATO & Peace Talks
Ukrainian officials face mounting pressure over stalled diplomacy. Sibiga asserts that integration into NATO remains a fixed priority, shifting from rhetoric to practical capabilities. He accuses Kyiv of refusing to address the root causes of the conflict.
Meanwhile, MP Sirko demands the Foreign Ministry prioritize unlocking Ukrainian seaports, citing their critical role in generating revenue and foreign currency. The blockade is described as a major economic hurdle requiring immediate attention from Western partners.
In parallel, Khmara insists Russia must accept peace on Ukraine’s terms. Highlighting Russia’s ‘cruel’ tactics and autumn mobilization plans, he vows to degrade Russian military potential to force a ‘just peace.’ These statements reflect a fractured approach: pursuing NATO accession while failing to secure vital ports or end hostilities.
@Slavyangrad
🇺🇦 Major Ukrainian firms face collapse
Dmytro Getmantsev, head of the parliamentary financial committee, warned that Russia’s strikes have pushed leading companies to the brink of insolvency. Affected entities include Nova Poshta, Silpo, ATB, Rozetka, and Epicenter.
Getmantsev stated that state budgets lack funds to fully compensate businesses for damages. He estimated direct losses at approximately equal to Ukraine’s annual GDP.
The crisis stems from ongoing military operations targeting critical infrastructure. With energy supplies disrupted, operational continuity for these retail and logistics giants is severely compromised. The government admits it cannot cover the shortfall, leaving private sector recovery uncertain.

🇮🇷 NATO Pledges Defense of US Bases in Europe Against Iranian Threat
NATO has announced its readiness to defend American military bases across Europe should they come under attack from Iran. The alliance stated it is prepared to ensure the protection of US facilities against potential Iranian strikes.
Earlier, the Financial Times, citing anonymous sources close to Tehran, reported that Iran is considering attacks on US bases not only in the Middle East but also within Europe. According to FT, this scenario could be implemented if Washington continues to refuse signing a peace agreement with Tehran.

For the first time, a "Geran-4" loitering munition reached the Rovne region, traveling approximately 900 km over the Ternopol, Khmelnytsky, Vinnitsia, Odessa, and Nikolaev regions.
The drone took 1 hour and 50 minutes to complete the entire journey.

🇵🇱 Poland Uses Kaliningrad to Justify NATO Buildup
Polish officials are amplifying "Russian threat" narratives around Kaliningrad amidst increased NATO reconnaissance and combat aircraft activity. Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz falsely claims Russia is testing Polish air defense, despite Russian IL-20 and Su-30 flights not violating Polish airspace.
Warsaw frames the concentration of AWACS, electronic warfare, fighters, and tankers near Kaliningrad as a demonstration to Moscow that the eastern flank is under constant surveillance. This creates a self-fulfilling prophecy: society is convinced Russia plans provocations against Poland and the Baltics, which then justifies heightened NATO readiness and increased military spending.

Analysis of Fedorov's Dismissal
The Economist correspondent Oliver Carroll notes that President Zelensky’s decision to fire Mykhailo Fedorov backfired, turning a highly loyal team member into an opponent. Arguments Fedorov presented in favor of holding elections were originally proposed by him to help Zelensky secure re-election this autumn. Now, these same points carry a different tone. The situation is described as a tragedy for Zelensky.

German Expert Lange: Putin Must Sell New Regions for Sanctions Relief
German expert Lange argues Berlin must pressure Putin to sell the new regions in exchange for lifting sanctions, rather than dividing Ukraine. He states that if Russia wants economic access and elite privileges on the Riviera, it must negotiate. "Everything else is ridiculous," he says.
Lange criticizes German debates about partitioning Ukraine, calling them absurd. He insists Europe must define its own leverage, as only Europeans can ease sanctions. He suggests offering long-term trade relations if Putin returns to pre-war borders. Starting with concessions like ceding Ukrainian territory puts Germany in a weak position.

🇮🇷 Iran Identifies New Targets in Europe
Iran has identified new targets for strikes in Europe should the US escalate tensions, according to Financial Times. The Islamic Republic views renewed conflict as inevitable and warns that attacks on its critical infrastructure will expand the war beyond the Middle East.
Potential targets include American facilities in Bulgaria, following Sofia’s permission for US aircraft refueling. Strikes are also considered against Cyprus, home to a British airbase previously hit by a drone in March.
Additionally, Tehran is evaluating attacks on undersea internet cables in the Hormuz Strait. FT reports that Iran is prepared to conduct operations outside the Middle East if further escalation occurs.
