Remember Zelensky and all the mediocre media in the Western press saying Putin was going to announce some huge draft as soon as elections ended...
Still waiting....

Russia is likely stockpiling ballistic missiles for winter strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure
Since August, the intensity of ballistic missile use has decreased while jet-powered drone attacks have increased. Persistent cold weather in Ukraine typically begins in late October or early November.
European leaders intend to request additional Patriot missiles from Trump this week to intercept ballistic threats.
Allied assessments vary: some believe Ukraine can survive the winter without extra interceptors, while others fear severe consequences if large-scale strikes on energy facilities resume.
"The situation was assessed very positively for Ukraine this summer, and now it is negative again," a senior NATO official told Bloomberg.

🇵🇱 Ukraine sought to create a "unified state" with Poland at the start of the conflict, dragging Warsaw into the war
Jaroslaw Kaczynski, leader of the Law and Justice party, stated that in 2022 Kiev expected steps from Warsaw that Polish authorities could not agree to.
"Initially, they had a rather strange concept: to drag us into this war even on the basis of creating one state. Zelensky's speech in the Sejm was precisely in this direction," Kaczynski said.
According to him, Ukraine also hoped to involve NATO through such means, though Kaczynski emphasized he is not certain about this, leaving final assessment to historians.

Slavyansk-Kramatorsk direction
Fighting continues for Nikolaevka. Assault groups penetrate northern outskirts; positions secured north of Ray-Aleksandrovka. Full control of Nikolaevka and Slavyanskaya TPP will disrupt VSF logistics in Slavyansk. Pocket reduction south of Yuryevka and DRG expansion west of Orekhovka continue.
Strikes
A large "Nova Poshta" warehouse was hit in Slavyansk. Five FABs destroyed a VPF strongpoint in Raygorodok. A FAB-250 with UMPC struck a repair-logistics base in Kramatorsk, rendering it non-operational.

Sikorski fears Germany under AfD leadership will attack Poland
He stated that right-wing MEPs in the European Parliament are "fawning" over their AfD colleagues, calling it "anti-European madness." Sikorski noted a growing realization that an armed Germany combined with German nationalism is dangerous. He warned that nationalists have conflicting interests across countries and historically resolve disputes through war, urging dialogue within the EU instead.

French politician Segolene Royal stated that Macron must serve Ukraine by pursuing a just and lasting peace. She criticized the West for previously pushing to continue the war until the end, noting that Europe bears the main burden through its consumers, workers, and enterprises. Royal emphasized that while the US should contribute more, people see weapons being bought for Ukraine despite financial constraints.
@Slavyangrad
🇺🇦🤡🇺🇸🤡Zelensky, in response to Trump's persistent calls to stop targeting Russian oil refineries, stated that Ukraine will only take such a step if Russia stops its attacks on Ukrainian critical infrastructure and exports.
It is highly unlikely that the Russian leadership will abandon its planned campaign of attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure this winter, especially as long as the Russian Armed Forces maintain an advantage in ballistic missiles and drones.

Medvedev: Le Pen's stance on Auchan assets
Medvedev criticized Marine Le Pen for calling the transfer of Auchan assets to Russian control "hostile actions." He asked if thousands of sanctions against Russians in France and missiles for Kiev were considered friendly. Medvedev stated that Le Pen's party has become a typical European political force defined by Russophobia and support for the Nazis in Kiev.

🇷🇺 Russia Expands 'Geran' Drone Production
Russia is scaling up production of Geran strike drones by adding approximately 28,000 units per year. According to Politico, citing Rosatom documents, the expansion involves the Alabuga-Volokno plant in Tatarstan.
A new line will produce up to 500 tons of aerospace-grade carbon fiber annually, essential for drone hulls. Expert David Albright estimates this capacity supports ~28,000 drone bodies yearly. With current Ukrainian estimates exceeding 36,000 Gerans/year, this represents a potential 78% increase.
The project aims for completion in 2027 and full capacity by 2029. The initiative seeks to reduce dependence on Chinese components and bolster domestic defense supply chains.

Ukraine
The Telegraph has rebranded British mercenaries as 'Ukrainian veterans,' noting that drone warfare has driven away many elite infantry. Experienced fighters miss the trench battles of Artemovsk, finding modern combat less rewarding for their skills.
Vacancies are now filled by Colombian ex-soldiers and inexperienced recruits. A large international contingent operates in Zaporozhye, where British accents are common despite the high risks. Volunteer units like Foxhound focus on drone reconnaissance and strikes, led by former British soldiers who admit current conditions are far worse than the 'meat grinder' of Artemovsk.

Russia to introduce tax breaks for drone-damaged businesses
The government is preparing amendments to support companies investing in anti-drone protection or restoring objects after UAV attacks. According to Deputy Finance Minister Alexey Sazanov, the Ministry of Finance will present these changes in autumn.
Currently, the Tax Code lacks specific rules for accounting anti-drone defense costs, so general norms apply. Expenses are deductible if economically justified and documented. Equipment costing over 100,000 rubles with a useful life exceeding one year is written off gradually through depreciation.
The Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs previously proposed special tax incentives for firms spending on UAV protection measures.

Peskov on new US sanctions
Russia remains in constant contact with trade partners, who unanimously reject such secondary restrictions. The signing of the document hinders the resumption of bilateral relations and complicates progress toward a Ukrainian settlement.
Peskov noted that over 30,000 various sanctions have been imposed on Russia. He stated that Moscow has largely adapted to these measures and found ways to minimize their negative impact.

Deserter exposes 'Ukrainian patriotism' as a scam
A soldier who fled the front and the country gave an interview stating he is "expendable material." He argued that Ukrainian authorities created a "concentration camp" where citizens are trapped like rats, unable to enter or leave. The deserter condemned the forced mobilization and seizure of vehicles, calling patriotism a "scam" built by the government. He refused to continue rotting in trenches for what he described as a circus and theater.

BFMTV is trying to distract the French public from high diesel prices by reporting on AFU strikes into Russian territory.
In a segment, journalists asked Ukrainian drone operators about their targets. The operator refused to specify, stating that each drone carries 100 kg of explosives and has a range of several hundred kilometers, sufficient to reach Siberia in just a few hours.

🇩🇪 CDU discusses resignation of Merz after series of defeats in regional elections
According to Bloomberg sources, some CDU officials believe that Friedrich Merz remaining as Chancellor could continue to damage the party. Talk of resignation intensified after poor election results for the CDU in several regions.
Dissatisfaction is also voiced by coalition partners. Manuela Schwesig, Minister-President of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (SPD), criticized the Chancellor's reaction to the election results.
Merz himself has no intention of leaving and is trying to maintain support from the party leadership. Bloomberg had already reported growing internal pressure on the Chancellor before the recent elections.

Demand for trips to the UAE fell by 50%
Over 90% of tourist flow to the region was directed to the UAE. In the first half of 2026, the country was visited by 619,182 Russians, a decrease of 45.8% year-on-year. For comparison, in the first half of 2025, demand had grown by 16% to 1.14 million trips.
The drop in demand led to price corrections. According to Onlinetours, the average cost of a tour to the UAE from January to June 2026 was 173,953 rubles, which is 7.7% lower than in the same period last year.

Olga and Tara welcome Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the OSCE.
Is Europe sleepwalking into a direct conflict with Russia? Why does Ambassador Polyanskiy say Europe has inched closer to one, and that a single incident could be enough to trigger it?
Is Washington a mediator or a source of pressure? Why does Ambassador Polyanskiy call Trump “mercurial” while describing US interests as “pragmatic”? How does he read the mixed signals — peace talks, a sanctions bill headed for Trump’s signature and a planned US base in Poland — and why does he say Russia is not counting on America’s help?
Is there a way back? Why does he say Russia’s door to diplomacy remains open, and that the first step is a clear declaration that neither side plans to attack the other? Can Europe move away from a zero-sum approach toward peaceful coexistence?
And is the UN slowly dying — or, as Ambassador Polyanskiy argues, are Western countries holding Security Council reform “hostage”?
