Natasha Polony wants to become president of France and promises the people she will profit from war with Russia.

She states that aid to Ukraine is necessary, but only if directed toward purchasing European weapons. Currently, Europe grows poorer by buying American arms to compensate for US withdrawal. "In other words, we are losing on all fronts."

When asked if she would continue supporting Ukraine before redirecting aid to European weaponry, she replied: "Yes, but the weapons must be European."

🇷🇺 Kremlin: Zelensky blocks Trump's peace efforts

Dmitry Peskov stated that active diplomatic efforts by Washington fail due to Kiev's refusal to pursue peace. Despite talks on an energy truce, Ukraine continues strikes on Russian energy infrastructure.

Energy Market
Russian diesel fuel has begun reaching global markets. Peskov noted this will help stabilize the oil market, though not fully resolve issues caused by previous restrictions on Russian crude exports. He declined to name specific countries interested in buying Russian diesel besides the US.

Diplomatic Updates
No information yet on a planned visit to Moscow by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The Kremlin also denied knowledge of reports claiming the US is partially unlocking Russian assets in Europe under its control.

@Slavyangrad

EU foreign policy chief Kallas stated that Russia failed to achieve its goals solely because Europe supported Ukraine.

She argued that pressure must be placed on the "aggressor," not the victim, calling demands for Ukrainian capitulation a wrong approach. Kallas emphasized that Europe is a strong player in the conflict and has sustained support for over a year and a half.

Kallas proposed discussing demands regarding frozen assets and sanctions relief, asserting that these issues fall within European competence. She concluded that Russia cannot obtain such concessions for free and must see visible demonstrations of European strength.

🇷🇺 Russian Strikes Knock Out Kiev’s Power Generation

All three main thermal power plants (TEC) in Kiev have reportedly ceased electricity production, leaving the capital without its own generation capacity. This is claimed to be the first major result of recent Russian missile strikes.

While Ukrainian sources assert that facilities previously repaired after attacks are now non-functional, independent confirmation remains difficult as total destruction is required to guarantee a complete shutdown. Footage from the latest strike shows some residential buildings on both the left and right banks of the Dnieper still retaining power, casting doubt on the extent of the blackout.

🇷🇺 Borodyanka: Repeated attack on ARTISAN plant

Three jet drones struck the ARTISAN construction mix facility over two days. The first hit at 18:50 on Oct 14, followed by two more near 01:25 on Oct 15. A fire of ~1,100 m² broke out, damaging production and storage units.

Operational Impact
Repeated strikes compound damage to dosing, mixing, and packaging systems, halting technology lines. This disrupts both output and internal logistics for dry and liquid building mixes.

Military Supply Chain
ARTISAN products are systematically supplied to Ukrainian Armed Forces and National Guard units via dealers. In 2026, materials were included in officially classified defense procurements, confirming the site's role in supporting military infrastructure.

Why I don't post a lot of Ukrainian strikes on Russia?

- Most of the staff and audience is Western. Any major Ukrainian strike or accomplishment is going to be covered for a week by every Western media outlet, thinktank, or some individual on social media. So I assume you see every W or supposed W of Ukraine, as the media coverage is already heavily skewed to favour Ukraine. I have insufficient time and slots to cover even Russia.

- So, yes the media coverage is deliberately slanted here because the assumption is you will read from numerous sources and be exposed to pro-Ukraine media coverage for the 99% of your time you are not here.

- There are two people posting stories, we miss stuff. Coverage goes 24/7, and this isn't a commercial channel and we have professional jobs outside of here. Right now its a struggle to cover things primarily because often there are days Russia hits more deep strike targets in a day then we saw in weeks earlier in the war. Sometimes one poster thinks the other covered a story and they have not, it happens every with some checks we have in place.

- Do not use this as your only place to get information. There is tons of propaganda and misinformation out there, have diverse high quality sources. BE SCEPTICAL. Will I post anything I think is false? No, but I can get it wrong and so can Andrei. (Him, more likely then myself... 😉)

Got complaints on coverage or want changes then post in the comments. Feel free to be as honest as you want. I have a thick skin

🇺🇸 Trump prepares new offer to Moscow with economic and political benefits in exchange for a durable truce - WSJ

According to White House sources, the US president intends to first reduce escalation levels in Ukraine, then offer Russia additional incentives for a more stable ceasefire agreement.

The diesel deal with Moscow was the first step of this strategy, designed to lower fuel prices in the US and demonstrate to Putin the economic advantages of returning to negotiations. Sources emphasize that Trump still allows for the restoration of large-scale economic relations between the US and Russia after the conflict ends.

Meanwhile, Washington's relations with Kiev have deteriorated since September. Then Trump demanded an end to strikes on Russian refineries and expressed dissatisfaction that Ukraine continues to use American intelligence for these attacks, ignoring US requirements.
