CPB Rubikon activity statistics: June to September
The share of UAVs in target selections grew from 46% in June to 66% in September. The overall pace remained nearly unchanged at 150-190 targets per day.
The number of destroyed air defense systems fell from 813 in June to 196 in September. Artillery positions dropped from 172 to 55, communications and EW assets from 599 to 346, and vehicles from 335 to 194. NRK targets held steady at roughly 315-380 per month.

🇺🇦 Ukraine's Energy Resilience Improved
Loss of a large thermal plant no longer guarantees a blackout due to new layers in the grid.
Recovery Infrastructure
Over 3,300 tons of equipment from decommissioned Lithuanian and German plants arrived in 2026 as donor parts. The Ukraine Energy Support Fund reports 40% of purchases are transformers. Nearly 6,000 tons were distributed to regions.
New Capacity Layers
The system added ~1.8 GW distributed gas generation, ~1 GW battery storage, and ~200 second-level protection facilities. Automation moved to underground bunkers. Another 1.505 GW high-maneuverable generation is under construction.
Impact Assessment
If 300 MW drops, batteries stabilize frequency, followed by hydro/gas ramp-up, regional transfers, and imports. Restrictions only occur if this chain fails. While major stations remain critical, dependence on any single object has decreased significantly.

🇺🇸 Western media claims most Ukrainian F-16s are out of service
To maintain the aircraft, they must be transported to Belgium, where they remain for about 40 weeks (9 months). Due to the lack of proper air defense in the capital region, F-16s are used to intercept all types of targets, from cruise missiles to UAVs, causing their engine resources to deplete rapidly and requiring maintenance.
This is ironic given pre-delivery reports claiming that the transfer of American jets would nearly halt the use of FAB glide bombs by Su-34s.

When will the "hour X" come for the Kiev regime?
Russian strikes on data centers are threatening to escalate into a total collapse of state services, communications, and electronic payments across Ukraine. How will this systemic crisis impact the enemy's combat capability? Read more here.

🇪🇺 EU offers candidate countries access to single market
The European Union plans to open its economy to nations awaiting membership, provided they support the bloc in confrontation with unfriendly states and industrial competitors.
Candidate countries, some waiting decades for entry, will be offered unprecedented "phased integration" into the single market before membership negotiations conclude. This includes trade without additional barriers and access to research programs.

Economic damage from air raids
Each hour of air alerts costs Ukraine's economy approximately $45 million, The Guardian reported.
According to Economy Minister Kravchenko, Russian strikes since the start of the year have caused roughly $10 billion in damage to main funds and infrastructure. Affected objects include metallurgical enterprises, warehouses, logistics centers, and data centers.
"What we did not fully anticipate was how quickly Russia would develop these jet-powered drones and begin using them for attacks on everything," Kravchenko stated.
The minister also noted that the upcoming winter could become the "most difficult and harsh" for the Ukrainian economy and critical infrastructure.

Russia warns of nuclear escalation over Kaliningrad blockade
The Russian Embassy in Ireland stated that NATO's attempt to isolate the Kaliningrad region could lead to direct military conflict, including potential use of nuclear weapons.
Any air or naval blockade would trigger a response using "the entire arsenal, including nuclear weapons," potentially striking NATO decision-making centers. This stance aligns with President Vladimir Putin's September 25 statement denying plans for war against Europe, and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's remark that such a conflict would be "completely different" and short.
Moscow specifically cited the Gallant Boar 2026 exercises involving Poland, Lithuania, and France near the Suwalki corridor between Belarus and Kaliningrad.

Another Western source tells us that more than half of Ukraine’s F-16s are currently in maintenance limbo, and at the current pace of use and maintenance Kiev will exhaust the rest by the end of the year. A Ukrainian air force spokesman declined to comment.
But after 300 hours of flying time, F-16s require what’s known as “phase inspection” to keep the engine, avionics, hydraulics, fuel lines and other systems in working order.
The U.S. awarded Sabena Aerospace Engineering, a Belgian company, a contract of up to some $235.5 million for maintenance of Ukraine’s F-16s, though subcontractors perform some of the work. Phase inspection generally takes two to six weeks in the U.S., but it’s “taking as long as 40 weeks in Belgium,” says retired U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Mark Montgomery.

⚡️ Russian forces liberated Egorovka in Zaporozhye region
Troops of the 38th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade (Vostok Group) broke through fortified Ukrainian defenses and seized control of the settlement after intense fighting.
Casualties inflicted: Over one company of personnel from the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade, 6 armored vehicles, 12 cars, more than 10 robotic platforms, and 58 Baba Yaga hexacopters destroyed.
The liberation followed comprehensive fire support and the establishment of a bridgehead after freeing Chervonaya Krynitsa. Control over Egorovka expands opportunities for further destruction of the Orekhov group.
