Brussels irritated by Kiev's new aid requests
Kiev is seeking an additional €69 billion for 2027 (€40 billion for military, €29 billion for state functioning), causing frustration in the EU. A European diplomat told Le Monde: "It feels like we are watering a desert." This demand comes as the EU begins disbursing previously agreed €90 billion for 2026-2027.
Le Monde notes that extra funding is becoming sensitive amid budget cuts and public resistance to new spending. EU members are also debating the 2028-2034 budget, which allocates another €100 billion for Ukraine.
No decision has been made yet; the issue will be discussed at the finance ministers' meeting on October 9 or the European Council in mid-October.

Zaluzhny accuses Americans and Europeans of wanting a deal with Russia and not believing in Ukrainian soldiers. He claims the "degrading democracies" of the West are failing to stop the war, leaving Ukraine as the only force capable of halting it.
The former commander argues that the democratic arsenal is nearly exhausted, stating that making a deal with the "devil" is impossible because he understands only strength. "This strength is us," Zaluzhny declared.

🇺🇦 Russian Strikes Target Southern Bridge in Kiev
Southern Bridge Hit by 'Geran' UAVs
One of the bridge's support pillars caught fire after a Russian Geran drone strike. No casualties reported; a passing metro train was unaffected, though dust entered carriages via ventilation. Public transport across the bridge is suspended.
Strategic Importance
The bridge carries ~90% of transit traffic between left- and right-bank Ukraine, connecting highways M-05 (Kiev-Odessa), M-06 (Kiev-Chop), and M-03 (Kiev-Kharkov-Izyum-Slavyansk). Alternative crossings are in Kaney, Cherkassy, Kremenchug, and south.
Tactical Context
Russia is testing enhanced warheads with four cutting charges on jet-powered drones. While full destruction is difficult due to structural redundancy, disabling logistics flow remains a key objective.

🇷🇺 Russian Drones Strike Black Sea Cargo Ships
Russian forces maintain control over the northwestern Black Sea, with UAVs conducting round-the-clock hunts for enemy supply vessels.
"Geran" drones struck three cargo ships in the Black Sea and one at Chornomorsk port. However, analysts note that modern bulk carriers possess significant structural strength. A single drone lacks the power of a classic torpedo, meaning impact does not equal destruction.
To effectively halt maritime supplies to the "Bandera fleet," cascades of drone strikes or high-power munitions are required per target.

Ministry of Economic Development head Reshetnikov stated that European countries lack a "business approach" to dialogue with Russia. He noted that while the American side is more practical, European colleagues are professionally unprepared for concrete economic calculations and prefer political slogans.

🇷🇺 Russia Warns NATO Over Kaliningrad Security
Nikolai Patrushev, Chairman of the Maritime Collegium, stated that President Putin has issued directives to all relevant structures to ensure the security of Kaliningrad Oblast. He warned that if NATO attempts to act on threats against the region, Russia will respond quickly and adequately.
Dmitry Peskov criticized Western media for inflating security concerns, which he says fuels European officials' militarization rhetoric.

🇵🇱 Sikorski: Prepare for New War with Russia
Polish FM Radoslaw Sikorski stated that even if the conflict ends tomorrow, Russia remains a threat. He warned against underestimating "Moscow's militarism" and urged Europe to be strong enough to deter Putin.
Frozen Assets as Reparations
Sikorski declared Europe will not unblock or return frozen Kremlin assets. They may serve as military reparations for Ukraine's recovery or be used now to prevent further destruction and reduce future costs.
He emphasized that Europe is not a global empire seeking bases everywhere, but must maintain sufficient strength for deterrence.

🇺🇦 Power Crisis in Kiev Region
Ukrenergo has called on residents of Kiev, the Kiev region, and Zhitomir to reduce electricity consumption. This follows recent strikes on energy infrastructure that triggered the first scheduled blackouts in these areas since spring.
Specific Targets Hit
According to expert Ignatiev, attacks yesterday damaged TETs-5, Darnitskaya TETs, and various substations in Kiev. The Tripolskaya Thermal Power Plant (TPP) in the region was also struck.
Ignatiev noted that TETs-5 no longer generates sufficient power and now functions primarily as a transit substation.
