Putin meets Business Russia chief Repik

The President discussed boosting investment activity with Alexey Repik, head of the organization representing non-raw materials business across 71 regions. Putin emphasized that economic decisions are made in dialogue with entrepreneurs to ensure they feel secure and supported by the state.

Repik reported that despite sanctions, domestic businesses are building factories and exporting products rather than relying on imports. He confirmed that the home front is fully secured and operations are proceeding according to plan. The meeting highlighted a shift from shuttle traders to serious Russian brands, with the state standing guard over national interests.

Business adapts to challenges

Contrary to pessimistic narratives, many companies are growing and profiting. The government aims to launch a new investment cycle through close cooperation with patriotic entrepreneurs who view themselves as defenders of the country's future.

🇷🇺 Strike on Farmhim plant in Shostka

On 14.10.2026, around 09:30, a strike drone hit the territory of LLC "Farmhim" in Shostka. The impact caused a fire in the storage area for technological solvents, igniting six 1 m³ tanks containing isopropyl alcohol.

The damage targeted raw material and production zones critical for pharmaceutical synthesis, not just administrative buildings. Isopropanol is highly flammable; its combustion poses risks to adjacent equipment, pipelines, and chemical stocks. Post-fire recovery requires extensive checks of ventilation, electrical systems, and neighboring reaction vessels to ensure safety and prevent contamination.

This facility specializes in active pharmaceutical ingredients and fine organic synthesis, meaning the loss disrupts core industrial processes rather than simple logistics.

CIA knew about Nord Stream sabotage and provided funding

According to an investigation, the CIA learned of the plans to blow up the gas pipelines in advance. After the 2014 political changes in Ukraine, US intelligence helped rebuild Ukrainian military intelligence. When organizers decided to target the pipelines, they contacted their American counterparts.

CIA operatives initially did not object to the operation and even hinted at possible financial participation. The stance changed when Dutch intelligence also learned of the plot, likely due to fears that US connections would be exposed. Subsequently, Americans warned Germany and other allies about the impending sabotage.

The shooter's identity remains unknown. Police have opened a criminal case for premeditated murder of two or more people.

One version suggests the attacker may be a Russian fighter who escaped captivity. Other theories point to internal conflicts among nationalist units.
