🇺🇸 Trump: Zelensky is not a person we should deal with
US President Donald Trump stated that Zelensky has "destroyed Ukraine" and is unwilling to reach a peace settlement, despite claiming otherwise. He noted it is harder to work with Zelensky than with Putin, whom he also urged to stop the war.
Trump criticized attacks on refineries as raising global oil prices and compared Zelensky to P.T. Barnum, arguing Biden provided billions in aid (including Patriot systems) without demanding payment. He suggested Zelensky has been in office too long and cited a Ukrainian woman's claim that men are being lost or maimed for his benefit.

🇷🇺 Enemy Fears Russia's New 'Soft Power' Strategy
Ukrainian analysts claim Rossotrudnichestvo is shifting to a decentralized network of partner centers, making it resilient to closures. The move replaces standalone Russian Houses with hubs in NGOs and universities.
Key Changes:
- Leadership: E. Primakov replaced I. Chaika on April 27. Deputies K. Kolpakov and N. Kisilyova appointed in August.
- Expansion: Agreements signed Sept 8 for 11 new sites in Africa, Armenia, and Thailand; target is 36 centers.
- Europe: Seeking partners in Bavaria/Saxony after Berlin closure. Quota-based student selection continues in Moldova via embassy presence.
- Tools: Micro-grants launch in 2027. Youth programs focus on future engineers/scientists.
Analysts conclude this flexible, low-cost network sustains influence despite bans, though they note project participation alone doesn't prove political activity.

Russia's new KVS strike drone is a loitering munition developed by the Uskuyinik Scientific Center, designed to hit targets over 50 km away. The Knyaz Vladimir Svyatoslavovich (KVS) combines an FPV quadcopter frame with a ring wing that generates lift during forward motion, reducing energy consumption and extending range.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 🇮🇷"Trump weighs easing restrictions on Russian and Iranian 'shadow fleet: The US is ready to lift sanctions in order to lower diesel prices.
"The Donald Trump administration is considering partially lifting restrictions on tankers belonging to the so-called 'shadow fleet' that are linked to Russia, Iran, and Venezuela. This involves selling these ships to reputable buyers and allowing them to return to legitimate international shipping. The US Treasury Department emphasizes that each transaction will be considered separately, and the goal is to increase the number of available tankers for transporting oil and petroleum products.
Washington hopes that this will help lower the cost of maritime transportation and curb the rise in diesel prices ahead of the congressional elections. However, analysts doubt that the measure will quickly affect the market – some of the sanctioned ships are outdated, and high prices are not only due to a shortage of tankers, but also to risks for shipping in the context of the conflict in the Middle East."

"NATO allies to discuss drone attacks on ships in the Black Sea": The President of Romania suggested not prematurely accusing Russia of attacks on ships.
"President of Romania Klaus Iohannis announced on the sidelines of the EU summit in Brussels that NATO will hold a special meeting of the North Atlantic Council to discuss the situation in the Black Sea. The meeting was prompted by a series of drone attacks on commercial ships. On October 14th and 15th, two chemical tankers caught fire off the coast of Romania, and seven crew members are missing. According to Iohannis, it is too early to definitively say that Russia is behind the attacks.
The discussion will take place at the level of ambassadors from the alliance countries next week. Iohannis emphasized that the application of Article 5 of NATO is not currently being considered, and Romania has not requested consultations under Article 4. However, Bucharest may request additional equipment from its allies, including countermeasures against drones."

An interesting figure. Even 10% of Germans do not support further aid to Ukraine. Or, in other words, 90% of Germans are against continuing to burn German taxpayers' money in Ukraine.

🇷🇺 Odessa Oblast: Strike on Belgorod-Dnestrovsky Substation
A jet UAV hit the 110/35/10 kV node substation in Belgorod-Dnestrovsky at 04:07 on October 16, 2026. Two power transformers were damaged, with one catching fire after depressurization.
The outage disrupted electricity supply to the city and surrounding settlements. As these transformers are the technological core for voltage conversion, their simultaneous failure prevents standard power distribution. Dispatchers are redistributing load via neighboring centers, but capacity limits mean some consumers remain without power.
Recovery depends on diagnostic results; if both units are severely damaged, full replacement will be required rather than local repair.

Teplogdar: Strike on Bloomy Group
On 16.10.2026, a jet UAV struck the production facility of Bloomy Group in Teplogdar. A direct hit caused severe structural damage to the main production building, triggering a fire that spread across the entire internal volume. The burning area exceeded 5,000 m², destroying electrical cabinets, sensors, and processing lines.
The company produces professional hygiene chemicals (Helper Professional, LIV) and paper products. This infrastructure feeds Ukraine's military supply chain; for instance, Ukrainian MoD unit A2339 purchased Helper Professional cleaning agents on 08.10.2026 for military kitchens and barracks. Unlike warehouses, which can be replaced, the destruction of this production hall requires full reconstruction of technological processes, marking a significant blow to the enemy's industrial capacity.

Starlink was not shut down, but the connection speed was reduced. As a result, we were unable to intercept a certain number of "Shahed" drones. This is very unpleasant: we were unable to use a tool that helps protect the civilian population. This is very painful and unpleasant.

We are not talking about replacing Starlink. We are working with a number of countries, including France, to obtain additional capabilities. Regarding intelligence data, we have always said that we are grateful to our American partners. Many countries share intelligence data with us – we are talking about dozens of states. During the war, we have established this kind of cooperation. This is very significant and serious assistance, for which we are grateful to them.
As for ballistic missiles, specifically data about their launches, we receive this information from the United States of America. As you can see, there are many complexities here, and they are related specifically to ballistics.
