Russia struck the Kharkiv warehouse of Ukrainian publisher KSD on Ukrainian Language Day, disrupting planned November book releases. The attack adds to Russia’s growing toll on Ukrainian literature, with millions of books already destroyed in strikes on publishing facilities. buff.ly/xgOOyJ6

It's almost time. You have the power to make a choice for America. youtu.be/ub9bkPRfU_w

In return, Ukraine is ready to give its partners missiles from future deliveries, which it purchases with EU loan funds. ➡️ Ukraine also needs portable air defense systems to combat jet drones.

🇺🇦🇪🇺 Ukraine calls on five European countries to transfer 10% of air defense missile stocks in exchange for future deliveries ➡️ Defense Minister Khmara has appealed to Germany, Great Britain, France, Poland and Italy with a proposal to transfer missiles for Patriot and IRIS-T now.

Ukrainian children play with the wreckage of a downed Russian Shahed drone. For an entire generation of Ukrainian children, war has become such a normal part of everyday life that even the remains of weapons sent to kill them become something to play with.

This is the biggest corruption scandal in American history. The Trump crime family is trying to sell the future natural gas rights of Alaska to the Russians in exchange for $25 billion in cash for themselves today.

Zarina Zabrisky: Behind me, you can see Oleshky: the town no one wanted to hear about nine months ago. Now, the world knows but the ordeal is not over. The next week ceasefire will be used for a “press tour” to whitewash Russia's war crimes. Don't fall for Russian propaganda.

❗️Serbia’s student-led movement has defeated Aleksandar Vučić, ending his long grip on power. For Ukraine, this removes a leader who recognized its territorial integrity but repeatedly refused sanctions on Russia, resisted stronger pressure on Moscow and maintained ties with the Kremlin. #Ukraine

Zelensky says Russia will demine the roads out of Oleshky so people head toward Russia and stay there. The mission starts October 27. He expects some residents to be evacuated to Ukrainian-controlled territory anyway, and says the main thing is to unblock them so they survive.

Of course, Russia will do everything to demine the roads in such a way that these people go to Russia and stay there. They are not going to simply set people free. And some people will be evacuated to Ukraine one way or another – to the part we control.

How is Donald Trump’s criticism of President Zelensky interpreted in Moscow? “As a mandate to continue military pressure,” writes one Russian paper. I ask Muscovites to name one word that’s important to them & read what Russian schoolkids are taught about “defence of the Motherland.” #ReadingRussia

⚡️️️️️️️Sanctioned Russian energy giant secretly funded US gas project, NYT reports. The gas project was part of an energy deal discussed by U.S. peace envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during their September visit to the Kremlin, sources told the New York Times.

🇺🇸‼️🇺🇦 Barak Ravid: A Ukrainian official tells me that Starlink and Starshield are still restricted in Ukraine despite Trump's claim that it is back up.

Czech President Petr Pavel said the U.S. diesel deal with Russia derailed peace progress with Ukraine and gives Moscow “new hope.” “It will be much harder now,” said Pavel. 🔗 vist.ly/5ph74

Could he mean the incident that took place on the Belarusian-Latvian border in early October? What else might he have in mind?

🇷🇺 A revealing clip in which Russian Major General Vladimir Popov says it’s shameful to call the war an “SMO,” discusses the Russian generals Ukraine has allegedly eliminated, and mentions Belarus in a particularly interesting context.

Notice how Anton Krasovsky deliberately interrupts Popov just as he starts naming the generals who were killed. Also, pay attention to what Popov says about Belarus. Which conflict in Belarus is he referring to?

Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff alleges Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are negotiating with the Kremlin over billions in sales of sanctioned Russian oil fields, refineries and gas stations to Trump-linked investors, with the US government receiving 15%. #Russia

It targets Democratic candidates and politicians from both parties who support Ukraine, using AI to accelerate and amplify content that sows distrust in U.S. institutions and questions voting-machine reliability/results.

‼️🇺🇸 POLITICO: Sen. Mark Warner and Rep. Jim Himes said Russia is running a covert online influence/disinformation campaign ahead of the midterms.

🇨🇿🇺🇦🇺🇸 Czech president Petr Pavel said a truce between Russia and Ukraine was "very close" until Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel.

‼️ Russia has begun using a new cruise missile, Filin, against Ukraine, — GUR. The missile has a maximum speed of 800 km/h and a range of up to 1,200 km. It can fly at ultra-low altitudes, climb to 6 km, and has a warhead weighing 50 or 100 kg.

Czech President Petr Pavel says a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine was “quite close” – until Donald Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel.

The results of today’s talks with the “humanitarian” outside my window. Russia is pounding Kyiv with ballistic missiles...

Witkoff praised Putin being such a humanitarian. Meanwhile, Kyiv has come under a massive missile attack, with more than 10 various missiles reportedly launched at the capital, including Iskander-M, Zircon and S-400. Dozens of explosions were heard within minutes. #Ukraine

President Trump: The other day I was talking to Vladimir Putin about settling his war with Ukraine, which I think we're getting closer to by the way, maybe now the closest we've been. Comment from me: Russia just attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles.

Report from @csis.org: the Alabuga drone factory is 4-country joint effort: 🔹Iran provided the design and manufacturing expertise 🔹North Korea supplies mass labour 🔹China supplies batteries, engines, electronics, etc 🔹Russia built the factory and fires the drones at Ukraine

Russia has resumed diesel exports to Türkiye and Brazil after Trump lifted sanctions on Russian fuel supplies, Reuters reports. The deal gives Moscow another source of revenue to sustain its war against Ukraine, even as Russia continues to face domestic fuel shortages. buff.ly/yOqgLH7

Oh look, Trump & Elon are both lying. Who would have guessed?

I hate it when my trolls wheel out the "genocide in the donbass" trope. It means i have to post this video of Progozhin saying it's rubbish

He said Pete Hegseth was holding up deliveries of Patriot interceptors and AIM-9X missiles already paid for by NATO countries, warning that Ukraine had almost no U.S.-supplied Patriot interceptors left.

Putin and Trump are openly discussing in the media a trilateral summit with Xi Jinping in China next month on ending the war in Ukraine. Conspicuously absent: Ukraine. Somehow, I doubt very much that we will like what they come up with. Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.

Invasion, mass murder, rape, kidnapping of children - all fine

⚡️️What Russia's doing to Ukraine is 'fine,' Trump says. "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much," Trump said, hours after a Russian drone strike in a public park killed six people, including two children.

"A world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was, until now, the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies, dark tales Americans told themselves like ghost stories... "But this alliance now exists." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Serhiy Flash: Starlink speed limit in the Starshield package has not been lifted. 160 km/h limit is in effect. Limit does not allow our jet interceptors to hit jet Shaheds. A significant part of the regular Shaheds are shot down by our helicopters. Helicopters fly faster than 160 km/h.

🇺🇸🇺🇦❗️The US does not agree to send Patriot missiles that have already been purchased for Ukraine: it was a significant delivery, - sources of the Kyiv Independent.

President Zelenskyy stated that the US refused to share intel regarding ballistic missile strikes for three days. Like I said, it has zero to do with oil prices.

Representative Gregory W. Meeks, Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement after the Trump administration announced it would waive sanctions on Russia:

We're investing in a cleaner, more competitive Europe. Here's how 👇

As Putin ramps up mobilization efforts, unfortunate Russians are being pulled right from airport passport control to supplement the meat waves in Ukraine.

Not Trump, not Rubio, no insider from the Trump Administration, not even Musk are claiming responsibility for the Starlink/Starshield failure in Ukraine. Yeah, it must be Putin then... the USA has become a joke of a democracy

🚨 Russia was attacking Kyiv again last night. I was just walking home, approaching my building, when the explosions started. Reports said, Russia launched eight missiles from two S-400 systems, targeting our energy infrastructure. That was only the FIRST wave, with more missile hits overnight.
