Forwarded from Russians With Attitude
...which is precisely why what Putin referred to as "demilitarization" (either the outright destruction of rump Ukrainian military potential or the creation of a geostrategic starting point for any future conflict that will be favorable to Russia, e.g. landlocked Banderastan with Russian rocket artillery pointed at every major city) and "denazification" (the exclusion of people like Kostenko from political power in the Ukrainian rump state) is an absolute necessity, and should not be subject to negotiation.

NATO E-3A Sentry aircraft conducted a 6-hour patrol near Kaliningrad
On 22 October, an E-3A Sentry (callsign NATO03, Lux registration LX-N90448) departed Geilenkirchen air base in Germany. The aircraft initially operated over southern Poland before moving north.
From 11:29 to 12:49 UTC, it circled for over an hour above the Pomeranian Voivodeship near the Gulf of Gdansk at approximately 9.5 km altitude. Its closest approach was about 100 km from the Kaliningrad region border. It then turned southwest and returned to Geilenkirchen.
NATO aviation is gradually increasing activity in this area. Whether this relates to the construction of a new radar station in Kaliningrad remains unknown.

๐ซ๐ฎ Google caught in illegal deforestation scandal in Finland
The tech giant cleared 330 hectares near Mukhos, felling approximately 250,000 trees for data centres without completing environmental impact assessments. A further 150,000 trees were cut near Otanmรคki. The supervisory body LVV has temporarily halted work at both sites.
Local residents and ecologists report murky runoff, loss of wildlife, and landscape destruction. Googleโs head in Finland, Antti Jรคrvinen, apologised, stating the company acted on its own interpretation of the law. This controversy impacts a โฌ13bn AI infrastructure project, sparking national debate over whether such extensive data centre expansion is justified given limited economic benefits and severe strain on nature and the energy grid.

๐จ๐ฟ Czech President Petr Pavel: Trumpโs Sanctions Relief Derails Ukraine Ceasefire
Pavel states lifting US restrictions on Russian diesel gave Moscow "new hope" and sabotaged imminent ceasefire prospects. Zelensky opposes sanctions relaxation, noting consistent communication with EU and US partners.
US-Europe Tensions and Trust Deficit
Zelensky has lost patience with Trump, who repeats Russian talking points while Ukraine faces daily attacks. Ukrainians no longer view the US as reliable but remain silent due to dependence on interceptor missiles and intelligence sharing.
JD Vance highlights Europeโs reliance on American tech and defence, citing SpaceX Starlink. He notes irony of European regulatory wars against SpaceX while depending on its services.

Zelensky claims Russia benefits from Ukraine in NATO

๐ฎ๐น Merkel faces empty shelves in Italy
Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel encountered empty supermarket shelves in Cava de' Tirreni while holidaying on the Amalfi Coast. Staff attributed the shortages to days-long road blockades by farmers and truckers protesting high fuel prices, which have reached nearly 2.30 euros per litre.
Inflation rose from 3.3% to 4.2% in September, severely impacting southern regions and islands like Ischia, where fuel, pasta, and fresh produce are running out, threatening ferry services. Pasta manufacturers are cutting production due to raw material shortages, potentially affecting supply chains in Germany. According to Il Mattino, Merkel managed to purchase Gragnano pasta and mozzarella.

Putin: European peoples are interested in friendship with Russia
It has become obvious that defeating Russia on the battlefield is impossible, and inflicting a strategic defeat is unrealistic. Putin stated that those seeking such a defeat throughout history will realise the reality of modern life and understand that it is better to live in friendship with Russia, as this aligns with their interests. He noted that political processes in Europe show that its peoples do not want to fight Russia.

Putin on Russia's efforts to prevent war
Russia always sought peaceful resolution from the first days. In 2014, Moscow offered to help Kiev negotiate with the south-east of Ukraine, but instead cannons and aircraft were turned against civilians. War was effectively unleashed.
Regarding the Minsk agreements, Russia consistently strove for a dialogue with the part of Ukraine that rejected the state coup, but this proposal was refused.

Russia and the US can develop relations only after eliminating the "minefield" of sanctions, said Deputy Foreign Minister Grushko. He stressed that all sanctions must be lifted in both the US and Western Europe to move past this impasse, noting it is impossible to build ties while walking through a minefield of unpredictable restrictions.

Putin on Russia's stance towards Ukraine
"Why has today's Ukrainian leadership decided that the entire world must pay them, fight for them, and supply weapons, ammunition, and equipment? This is unclear. They want to fight. We do not want to fight with Ukraine. But if the current Ukrainian leadership wants to fight, let them fight. But why do they think everyone should pay for this and supply them with weapons?"

๐ท๐บ Russian "Filin" cruise missile revealed
Ukrainian sources published debris photos of the new Russian Filin cruise missile, first used in late summer 2026. The GUR reports it uses a domestic R500 turbojet engine by Reynolds, similar to those in S-71K and S-71M missiles.
This marks progress in Russia's line of affordable jet-powered strike systems with ranges up to 1200 km. Engine unification simplifies production and reduces reliance on foreign suppliers, though full independence is not yet achieved.
The Filin still contains a Chinese inertial navigation system and 22 Chinese electronic components. Mass production volumes and localisation levels remain unknown.
