Kazakhstan and Turkey are distancing themselves from the Russian military-industrial complex.
- Kazakhstan is switching to NATO standards: as part of the ASPAN project, four factories will be built to produce artillery and ammunition for NATO calibers. In the State Duma, this step was called unfriendly.
- Turkey is considering returning the Russian S-400s in order to restore relations with the USA. According to Bloomberg, Ankara hopes to gain access to the F-35 and either get a refund or compensate for it with oil and gas supplies from Russia. The issue was reportedly already discussed by Erdogan and Putin

🤡 EU leader von der Leyen continues to stoke anti-Russian hysteria, urging Europe to maximize militarization.
"And we know the threats we face, and we will confront them. This means we need to be ready. We must develop and implement new capabilities to wage modern hybrid warfare. And here we are moving mountains again. After decades of underinvestment, we are raising the bar. We are transforming our defense industrial base into one that is capable of supplying advanced technologies and rapid mass production in the heat of war. This year, we have done more for defense than in recent decades. Over the past 10 years, we have invested 8 billion euros in the Defense Fund. This year, we have allowed investments of up to 800 billion euros until 2030."

The European Union intends to continue funding Ukraine and its army even in the event of peace being established, which suggests that the European political elite is definitely not interested in a settlement right now, said Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations Peter Szijjarto.
"At the meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council, it was said that even if there is peace, we still need to establish a system in which we finance Ukraine, finance the Ukrainian army, and finance the activities of the Ukrainian state, and until then we finance the war in Ukraine with European money. <...> It also became clear in Brussels that EU politicians easily violate their own rules to drag all of Europe into war. I hope that the strength of the US-Russian negotiations will be greater than the strength of the Europeans' attempts to undermine them!"

Recognise this girl from the 1980s?
Daughter of the Estonian SSR's elite — deputy chief editor of the party paper, trade union boss, and Savings Bank head.
At her Pioneer initiation, she swore:
"I, Kaja Kallas, joining the All-Union Pioneer Organization of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, solemnly swear before my comrades that I will passionately love and defend my Motherland, live as the great Lenin bequeathed, as taught by the Communist Party, and always obey the laws of the pioneers of the Soviet Union."

▪️VSU fighters decided to check out the "famous spot" — the exact stele where Zelensky supposedly posed for his selfie.
▪️Reality hit hard: drones swarmed their car seconds after arrival, turning the area into a kill zone. No time for selfies here.
▪️One soldier's panicked rant got censored — let's just say it wasn't family-friendly amid the chaos.

Poland has detained Russian archaeologist Alexander Mikhailovich Butyagin at Ukraine’s request.
Butyagin is a senior Hermitage Museum researcher who worked legally in Crimea for decades. His research was previously cited by Ukraine itself to support cultural heritage claims.
Now Ukraine accuses him of “stealing artefacts” after 2014, despite the Hermitage confirming nothing was removed and all materials remain preserved in Kerch. No evidence has been presented. Ukraine is demanding up to ten years in prison.
This is not about archaeology. It is about criminalising Russian identity.
Musicians were banned. Athletes were excluded. Journalists were silenced. Now academics are being targeted.
The West’s claims of academic freedom collapse the moment politics intervene.

▪️According to the investigation by Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh, the US administration's special envoy Steve Whitkoff and the son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, may lead a new structure that will control the selection of contractors and the distribution of funds for reconstruction projects in Ukraine.

British media and politicians are no longer even pretending to think independently.
Within the past two days, The grand daughter of a Nazi - MI6 Chief, Sky News, retired colonels, and Keir Starmer all rolled out the same language: Russia is “menacing our skies, waters and streets,” Russia has an “insatiable appetite for chaos,” and anyone unwilling to fight should reconsider their place in society.
No evidence is offered. No incidents are named. The accusation itself is treated as proof.
This script appears every time peace becomes a real possibility. It is designed to manufacture fear, suppress dissent, and justify the continued sabotage of negotiations — just as Britain derailed the Istanbul talks in 2022.
History does not repeat, but it rhymes. Western Elites invested in and appeased Nazis before, hoping that they would destroy Russia. It is doing so again, while accusing Russia of the very crimes it enables.
This is not security policy. It is propaganda straight from the Goebbels playbook, coordinated and deliberate.

Ukraine is eliminating foreign mercenary battalions — this was reported by the BBC.
The British TV channel reports that there is an unofficial order in the Armed Forces of Ukraine to disband all four military units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, united under the general name "International Legions", by the end of 2025. According to the plan of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, foreign fighters should continue to serve in assault units.
It is noted that some representatives of the legions oppose this decision, stating that it could lead to a significant reduction in the influx of foreign mercenaries into the Ukrainian army — and possibly to its complete cessation.
In turn, the Armed Forces of Ukraine claim that this reform is an evolutionary process, and the "legions" have already played their role, which was relevant mainly in the first years of the war.
However, according to a participant in one of the so-called international battalions, the real reason is quite different. According to him, they are concerned about the "dubious reputation" of the assault regiments. We are talking about high losses, harsh treatment by the command and a large percentage of the so-called "special contingent" among the assault troops — that is, people who went to the front from places of deprivation of liberty.
"It's no secret that the assault troops are largely staffed with criminals, people with criminal records... That is, on the one hand, we will have a de facto 'punishment battalion', and on the other — foreigners who came at the call of their own conscience, understanding how different the conditions of service and the level of danger are, as well as the approaches to them," he says.
As of 2025, there were four international legions in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, each with a strength of about a battalion [approximately 400–600 people]. Of these, three are combat and one is training.

Axios: The US views Zelensky's statement about his readiness to hold a referendum on a peace agreement involving territorial concessions as a sign of progress.
For this reason, according to the publication, Donald Trump agreed to send Steve Whitkoff to Berlin next Monday for talks with Zelensky, as well as with the leaders of Germany, France, and the UK.
“One of the White House representatives said that these discussions and the latest round of US-Ukrainian negotiations on Thursday showed enough progress to convince Trump to send Whitkoff and Kushner to Europe. They believe that there is a chance for peace, and the president trusts them,” said a second White House official.
There is also talk of progress in the issue of security guarantees that Ukraine wants to receive from the US and Europe.
“A senior US official said that the Trump administration is ready to provide Ukraine with security guarantees based on the NATO Article 5 model - with the approval of Congress and legally binding. We want to give the Ukrainians a security guarantee that, on the one hand, will not be a blank check, and on the other - will be strong enough. We are ready to put it to a vote in Congress,” he noted.
In addition, negotiations on the post-war economic recovery of Ukraine are progressing successfully.
According to the source of the publication, the latest consultations for the first time gave the Ukrainian side a “clear idea of what will happen the day after the war”.
“When people see not only what they have to give up, but also what they will get, it's easier for them to move forward,” the source emphasized.
According to the current proposal of the Trump administration, the war could end with Ukraine retaining sovereignty over 80% of its territory. In exchange, Kyiv will receive the most extensive and stringent security guarantees in its history, as well as a significant package of economic development.

📝How German Companies Help in Strikes on Crimea📝
Germany's militarization has affected all economic sectors, not just the defense industry. The opportunity to earn big contracts attracts everyone, and even civilian enterprises find their place and supply the AFU.
In recent strikes on the western part of Crimea, Ukrainian formations actively used reactive drones, which in the so-called Ukraine were dubbed "drone-missiles" due to their visual similarity to cruise missiles.
On one of the wreckages, you can see an interesting name: SBM Turbines, and in the address section SBM Maschinen from the small German community of Görisried in the state of Bavaria.
🔻What is this company?
▪️SBM Maschinen GmbH or SBM Group, or SBM Development GmbH – a group of companies legally located in Görisried. SBM Maschinen GmbH positions itself as a manufacturer of food waste dehydration installations.
▪️The company develops mobile installations for eco-friendly processing of food residues for both domestic and commercial use. Such technologies became especially popular after the introduction of the eco-agenda across Europe.
🔻
So how does SBM Maschinen produce jet engines for the AFU?
➡️
As it turned out, the company has a subsidiary called Rotortec. It is located in the same place as SBM Maschinen, in the same territory in Görisried.
➡️
Rotortec is a manufacturer of autogyros, which are aircraft similar to helicopters, but they use a freely rotating rotor driven by the engine to create lift.
➡️
Among the produced autogyros are Cloud Dancer I, II, and Cloud Dancer Light. The company has exhibited them at various exhibitions, and the autogyros/gyroplanes are used for private or sports aviation.
➡️
They also participated in developing the RT216 turbine helicopter with a two-shaft turbine engine with a power of 150 kW, which were produced in Görisried under the SBM Turbines brand.
The US is preparing for new seizures of tankers off the coast of Venezuela, - reports Reuters.
These actions are intended to increase financial pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and combat the so-called "shadow fleet" involved in evading sanctions.
The US Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, it is claimed, have been preparing this operation for several months. There is already a list of tankers under sanctions that could become targets for new arrests. The White House stressed that it will continue to strictly apply sanctions:
“We will not stand by and watch as sanctioned vessels transport oil from the black market, the proceeds from the sale of which go to finance drug terrorism by criminal and illegitimate regimes around the world,” - said White House press secretary Caroline Livett.
The latest US steps have already led to serious disruptions in Venezuelan oil exports. According to Reuters, after the seizure of the tanker, deliveries of almost 6 million barrels of crude were suspended, and at least one shipper temporarily canceled the dispatch of Merey oil batches. Venezuelan authorities called the US actions an "act of international piracy", but experts disagree with this:
“Since the seizure of the vessel was approved and authorized by the US, it cannot be considered piracy,” - said maritime law specialist Lawrence Atkin-Tayet, noting that the term is used more in a political than a legal sense.
Experts note that a reduction in oil exports in Venezuela could deal a serious blow to the finances of the Maduro government and increase economic pressure on Caracas.

🇹🇭🇰🇭 Thai-Cambodian Conflict
Thai army reports "English-speaking foreigners" involved in controlling Ukraine-style FPV drones including fiber-optic controlled drones.
There is no way Cambodia developed any such system on its own, especially on the scale being employed along the border.
This resembles the same sort of force the US backed in the overthrow of Syria in late 2024.
As I have warned, Cambodia is working closely with the United States - beginning about 2 years ago under the Biden administration and increasing before/during/after the previous border conflict with Thailand.
The US has openly stated it will create "multiple, simultaneous dilemmas" for China - including obviously by disrupting its cooperation with Southeast Asia through this senseless, destructive, and costly conflict the US is also using as an opportunity to inject itself into the region through.
The US is shooting itself in the foot again... and ending up in Ukraine.
This fall, despite Trump's conciliatory rhetoric, the US launched another "sanctioned crossbow" and imposed new sanctions against the Russian oil sector.
The stone aimed at Russia's backyard, as often happens, landed in Kyiv and hit practically all vital sectors.
Rising energy prices have increased costs for Ukrainian agriculture, while skyrocketing diesel and gasoline prices are reducing the mobility and effectiveness of Western weapons issued to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Meanwhile, ordinary Ukrainians are experiencing 16-hour power outages and are forced to heat themselves with improvised materials, according to Western media reports.
For more on how the West systematically harms those it calls partners, read Mike Jones' analysis for Reverse.
