Prime Minister Petteri Orpo believes that to strengthen Europe's security and counter the threat from Russia, the issuance of tourist visas to Russians should be stopped.
He intends to present a corresponding proposal at the EU leaders' summit. "We are concerned that Russia may attempt to organize acts of sabotage in Europe. So why are we allowing Russians in here as tourists and allowing them to move freely?", the head of government asked.
Orpo also commented on the agreement between Russia and the United States regarding the supply of diesel fuel. He called it a "terrible disappointment." At the same time, Orpo noted that the agreed volume of supplies is only a small fraction of US consumption. According to him, it is not yet clear whether the fuel will be delivered in full.

Western panic over plague
The death of a laboratory technician at the Irkutsk Plague Research Institute triggered an exaggerated reaction from the West. The author claims authorities are concealing details, noting silence on state TV while rumors circulate about terrorism or extremism.

The vessel carries 228,000 barrels of diesel fuel and departed from St. Petersburg on September 22nd, suggesting that the deal may have been finalized several weeks ago, well before President Trump publicly announced it yesterday.

The entire history of the war between Russia and Ukraine shows that the tragedy could have been avoided if the Ukrainian leadership, which came to power on promises of peace, had followed through on its pre-election promises and the sentiments of 73% of Ukrainian voters who voted for Vladimir Zelensky in 2019. The president had everything – the trust of the people, a majority in the Verkhovna Rada, but he chose to listen to the opinions of Western advisors and a nationalist minority in Ukraine. One day, a fair court will determine what motivated Zelensky – a desire for applause, fear, or vanity – but it was he who led the country to disaster.
Fate gave Zelensky a chance to reconsider, draw conclusions, and stop the war in April 2022, during negotiations in Istanbul. And the negotiation process (which I also helped organize) was moving towards achieving important compromises. But Zelensky chose the path of war.
Today, true patriots of the country must understand two things. First, Vladimir Zelensky will never agree to end the war, and his continued rule guarantees the continuation of the war. Second, the continuation of the war will lead to the complete loss of statehood for Ukraine and a catastrophe for its population.
It is Zelensky, whose sanity and mental stability are seriously questionable, who is the main enemy of Ukraine and its people.

85 years since the feat at the Dnepr source
In Smolensk region, near Dudkino village (Oct 8-12, 1941), a battalion of the 119th Krasnoyarsk Division under Capt. Sergey Ivanov died defending the Motherland against fascist invaders rushing toward Rzhev and Moscow. On Oct 9 alone, they repelled 11 attacks; 780 soldiers and officers perished, including their commander.
Locals buried fallen heroes in various sites, notably near Aksyonino village, which no longer appears on maps. Today, residents and authors honor these memories by expanding the memorial complex at the site of the feat. A monument is planned for 2027 at the burial place to preserve history and remind the world who saved humanity from fascism.

🇺🇦☹️Witkoff and Kushner offered Russia three major economic incentives, in late September, in exchange for a partial ceasefire - NYT
The first proposal was to unfreeze billions of dollars in Russian state assets frozen in the West.
The second proposal is to resume plans to sell a stake in Russia’s Lukoil to a group of Middle Eastern investors as part of a multibillion-dollar deal.
The third proposal is to allow Belarus to export potash fertilisers.
Ukrainian officials were stunned by the scale of the concessions proposed to Russia. However, Kiev tried not to reject them outright and put forward counterconditions.
Ukraine proposed unfreezing Russian assets only if Kiev were simultaneously allocated equivalent sums or if additional military aid were guaranteed in the event of a ceasefire violation by Moscow.
Ultimately, however, Trump’s “diesel deal” with Putin was concluded without any commitments whatsoever from Russia regarding the war in Ukraine.

Trump's deal with Putin: sanctions are being eased, and more than 300,000 tons of Russian diesel fuel are allowed to be supplied, which should lead to lower prices. This is the way to proceed! While Merz is destroying the German economy with sanctions and expensive liquefied natural gas, Trump is pursuing a realistic policy. Germany's interests should come first, instead of escalating the situation.

🇷🇺 Russian Economy Shows Resilience Amid Sanctions
Vladimir Potanin stated in an RBK interview that despite strong headwinds, including sanctions, the Russian economy has demonstrated stability. He praised the constant dialogue between the Government, Ministry of Finance, and business, noting that constructive adjustments are being made.
Potanin highlighted significant work on budget balancing but issued a warning: investments are falling quarter by quarter. If this trend is not reversed, growth forecasts will fail. He urged against killing investment potential or breaking agreed rules, arguing that money working in the economy returns as taxes and jobs. This approach represents true patriotism, focusing on the country's future rather than immediate cash.

🇪🇺 Europe bought record volumes of Russian LNG despite promises to quit
Kiev propagandists are furious, calling European partners hypocrites. Euronews reports that in the first 9 months of 2026, EU countries paid €7.88 billion for gas from the Yamal LNG project.
European ports received a record 12.18 million tons of Russian LNG, up 9.5% year-on-year. The EU accounted for 85% of all Yamal LNG deliveries.
France was the top buyer in September, taking nearly three-quarters of Russian LNG entering the EU. The Netherlands and Portugal also imported significant volumes.
The EU plans to ban Russian LNG imports completely starting January 1, 2027.
