🇬🇧🇺🇦 Boris Johnson: I don’t know what we gain — and I don’t know what Ukraine gains — by more strategic ambiguity. I think the whole problem for Ukraine is that the status of Ukraine has been ambiguous. You say we shouldn’t worry about escalation. But why are we not offering Ukraine membership of NATO? Why not? Because we’re worried about provoking Putin, right? Well, what a load of bollocks. I mean, it’s the same mentality. You know, we’re either serious about them being a free, sovereign, independent country capable of making their own choices and joining their own organizations, or we’re not.
Russian channels report that another general has been killed in the war. Russian sources published an obituary for Anton Felixovich Grunis, identified by the Exilenova+ channel as a Major General in the Russian Armed Forces and commander of the 4th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade. Grunis directly commanded Russian troops during combat operations against Ukraine, specifically in the Bakhmut and Kostyantynivka directions.
Human rights activists & journalists who uncritically repeated Dick Marty/Belgrade propaganda that “KLA crimes went unpunished” should check the record. Final judgments tell a very different story: more KLA members than Milošević’s forces have been convicted. Latest @FHPHLC data:
Nonsense. Data from the highly credible Humanitarian Law Center in Belgrade show that, across all final judgments by domestic + international courts, more Albanians than Serbs have been convicted of war crimes. This is ludicrous, ahistorical, and hard to describe as justice.
The EU-backed Kosovo Specialist Chambers is unpopular in Kosovo as it renders a verdict tomorrow for former President Hashim Thaçi and three co-defendants, all once senior figures in the Kosovo Liberation Army, but justice should apply to all sides in war. trib.al/m4VzX09
🇳🇱🇷🇺Le chaos en cours aux Pays-Bas était prémédité. Tout le réseau ferroviaire saboté pour paralyser le pays, des portions d'autoroutes noyées de fumée, l'hypothèse de la coïncidence ne tient plus. Il s'agit probablement d'un entraînement du renseignement militaire russe plutôt que d'une réelle attaque. L'objectif pourrait être de tester les défenses de la société civile si la Russie voulait paralyser le pays pour, par exemple, empêcher l'acheminement de matériel militaire à l'Est de l'Europe. En effet, en cas d'agression ou de confrontation dans les pays baltes ou en Pologne, l'OTAN devra transporter énormément de matériel lourd à l'autre bout de l'Europe le plus vite possible. C'est pour cela que les infrastructures de transport ont un rôle critique dans la défense du continent. Si la Russie a des opérateurs sur place capables de paralyser les axes principaux des chemins de fer et des autoroutes, cela peut causer des retards suffisants pour enrayer l'immense machine logistique otanienne. Plusieurs pays pourraient être affectés en même temps. Imaginons ce scénario : des centaines de drones pénètrent l'OTAN depuis l'Est, des frégates russes menacent la Baltique et le nord de la Norvège, certaines autoroutes et voies ferrées sont inutilisables pendant plusieurs jours... La Russie a la capacité de sérieusement nous gêner. L'avantage c'est que ce test en cours aux Pays-Bas, si s'en est bien un, permet également d'entraîner le pays à réagir à ce type de crise. Le chat et la souris. x.com/RWSverkeersinf…
Today is Battle of Britain Day. We should not forget the Soviet contributions to the fight. On the side of Nazis, to whom we supplied a lot fuel.
77% of Ukrainians say the country should continue armed resistance even if Russian winter attacks leave people without electricity, heat or sewage, according to a KIIS poll of 1,003 adults conducted from August 21 to September 10. 12% said Ukraine should accept any Russian demands, even if they look like capitulation, while 11% were undecided. Support for continued resistance was a majority in every region, ranging from 83% in Kyiv to 68% in the east. #Ukraine
Former Ukraine’s commander-in-chief Zaluzhnyi: 2026 is a war of technology, strategy and doctrine. New weapons cannot save Soviet methods. Mobilization must fit new doctrine, new army structures and new ways of war. Only doctrine creates pressure and victory. 1/
❗️The Dutch Cabinet unveiled its plans for 2027, with continued support for Ukraine featuring prominently. The Dutch defense budget will rise by €2.1 billion to €28.9 billion, of which more than €3 billion will go to Ukraine. The government will also provide at least €100 million in additional non-military support annually for Ukraine, targeting humanitarian aid, energy supplies and other critical infrastructure. #Ukraine
St. Petersburg buses are now stuck behind cars queuing for fuel. Public transit is collapsing because drivers cannot get petrol. what a sanctions-resistant superpower looks like in 2026: rationed 92 octane, 60-liter caps, and people waiting 16 hours for a tank. Russia still fires missiles as its buses sit broken down.
Robert Brovdi, Commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces: Drones at the tactical level were, are, and will remain a priority in terms of deterring Russian troops. They are a priority and the most widely used capability. 1/12
Besides Railway sabotaging in the Netherlands, there are also fires around major highways. This seems coordinated, not a coincidence anymore. Currently, the Dutch king is holding a speech where he is mentioning extra support to Ukraine, for Prinsjesdag.
European deterrence language is changing from: “We will defend every inch of NATO territory.” to something much more explicit: “If you attack NATO, the consequences will not stop at NATO's borders.” That is a significant shift in tone.
Żeby było jasne co powiedziałem w Kijowie. Że w wypadku rosyjskiej agresji na NATO, dzięki przewadze w powietrzu, lotnictwo europejskiej części NATO byłoby w stanie, nawet bez udziału USA, zniszczyć połowę rosyjskich rafinerii szybciej niż Ukraina. Nadal tak uważam.
Russia's most popular military commentator, on mainstream television, directly refutes Putin and Medvedev's lies that there will be no mobilization and tells Russians to avoid it at any cost, as there's not even basic first-aid training, missing supplies, just cannon fodder.
Lavrov says that if Anchorage agreements were kept, the world would have been living without a war in Ukraine for a year. Lavrov is lying. Even Putin himself said that there were no agreements reached in Anchorage, and Secretary Rubio said the same (all included in video; by the way, this fragment of Putin's speech was later edited out of the videos publicly shared). The only reason there is a war in Ukraine is Russia itself. Russia is playing for time and blaming others for its war of aggression.
For the past several months, Russia has been blaming Ukraine for not following the Anchorage agreements. None of these agreements exist publicly, and Secretary Rubio confirms that: "There was no agreement in Alaska. There was a proposal made in Alaska, but it was never an
Isolation of the Dutch ports, especially Rotterdam, from Germany is something that was quite an important task of the Soviet special services during the cold war. This wasn't an attack designed to destroy, but to send a signal that it could be done. Typical Russian tactic.
A major coordinated sabotage attack was just carried out against railway infrastructure in at more than 20 locations in the Netherlands. Large 2 meter-long metal pipes were deliberately attached to the tracks, triggering track-circuit and safety system failures by tricking the
🇩🇰🇷🇺Alerte orange ce matin, l'Europe est assiégée ! En 24h, de nombreux incidents ont secoué l'Europe en même temps, certains n'étant pas encore complètement terminés. D'abord, un drone militaire russe a été abattu cette nuit alors qu'il se dirigeant vers une centrale électrique lituanienne. Ensuite, nous apprenons qu'un navire de guerre russe a tiré des fusées éclairantes sur un hélicoptère danois. Puis, depuis ce matin le réseau ferroviaire néerlandais est lourdement impacté par des « actes de sabotage » visant à paralyser totalement le pays. Des grandes barres de métal auraient été déposées sur les rails pour forcer des défaillances techniques. Cela nous rappelle directement le déraillement du train Caen - Rouen en France qui a fait de nombreux blessés, dont une personne en urgence absolue, il y a seulement quelques jours. Les enquêteurs privilégient la piste criminelle du sabotage là aussi. Souvenez-vous : il y a quelques semaines seulement, le directeur de la CIA se rendait à Moscou à l'improviste pour délivrer un avertissement à la Russie car Washington s'attendait justement à des attaques hybrides sur l'OTAN. Nous y sommes. Cette guerre n'a presque plus rien d'hybride. Lorsqu'un État souverain organise et planifie des sabotages partout en Europe, paralysant l'économie et mettant en danger des personnes, cela commence petit à petit à constituer des actes de guerre. On constate une accentuation majeure des attaques hybrides, l'escalade se rapproche.
🇱🇹🇷🇺Des chasseurs de l'OTAN ont abattu un drone russe au-dessus de la Lituanie. Le président lituanien, Gitanas Nausėda, a annoncé la nouvelle hier soir. C'est peut-être une réponse de l'OTAN aux intimidations récentes de la Russie. Les pilotes italiens qui ont détruit le drone
🚨🚨🚨IMPORTANTE!!!🚨🚨🚨 è ufficiale, la Russia ha cercato di uccidere Boris Johnson, Carl Bildt (l'ex Primo Ministro svedese), il Consigliere per la Sicurezza Nazionale del Regno Unito Jonathan Powell e consiglieri per la sicurezza di diversi Stati membri dell'Unione Europea. Secondo le ricostruzioni questi si sarebbero salvati solo perché, per ulteriore sicurezza, il treno era stato fatto partire prima. Se il treno fosse partito nell'orario previsto, la Russia avrebbe ucciso l'ex Primo Ministro del Regno Unito, l'ex Primo Ministro della Svezia e i consiglieri per la sicurezza nazionale di diversi Stati membri della NATO. Se non è una linea rossa questa, cosa può esserlo? L'Inghilterra a questo punto dovrebbe reagire, duramente e senza esitazioni, a questo chiaro atto di guerra.
Two days after Russians confirm that Ukraine's strikes have left the Russian city of Taganrog with no remaining air defenses, Ukrainian Forces unleashes a massive missile attack targeting the Beriev aerospace manufacturing complex. This facility is/was doing this: A-50/A-50U AWACS — modernization and repair A-100 Premier AWACS — development and production Tu-95MS/MSM strategic bombers — modernization and support Tu-142 naval aircraft — overhaul and modernization Be-200 amphibious aircraft — production Military radar and airborne command systems — integration and testing
A Russian "Z-blogger" writes that the Russian city of Taganrog now has no Pantsir or S-300/400 air defense systems after Ukrainian attacks: "Attack on Taganrog. The city is without air defense. On September 12, 2026, an attack was carried out on facilities located in the area
Страшное... Этой ночью на России происходили очень интересные события. В ходе ночных пусков FPV-дроны самолётного типа «не захотели» лететь в Украину, разворачивались и атаковали запускавших их операторов. По предварительным данным, вся партия чипов содержала «спящий» закладной код. На высоте активировался протокол Homing Return с жесткой привязкой к точке старта.
