Attempted arson at Starlink site in Vilnius
Unknown individuals tried to set fire to active Starlink equipment at the Delska data center in Vilnius early on October 18. Authorities confirmed the gear serves civilian, corporate, and military users, including Ukraine.
The Lithuanian PM accused Russia of orchestrating the attack as part of a sabotage campaign in Europe, though no evidence was presented. Police noted flammable liquids were found but operations continued uninterrupted.
This follows similar incidents in Poland and Bulgaria. A National Security Commission meeting is scheduled for October 19 to discuss this event and a drone incursion into Lithuanian airspace.

Latvia demands EU visa ban for Russians
PM Kulbergs called on the EU to stop issuing tourist visas to citizens of Russia, citing "hybrid" threats. He argued that France, Italy, and Spain issued over 70% of Schengen visas to Russians in 2025.
Riga also requested 7 billion euros in compensation from Brussels for "geographic punishment": lost business and tourism due to proximity to Russia and Belarus. Kulbergs stated Latvia faces daily hybrid threats, including migrant pressure, and requires more funds to protect the eastern borders of the bloc.

Finnish villager monitors Russia from border tower
Mikko Makkonen, a resident of the Finnish village Juurikka near the Russian border, maintains an old observation post on his property. He purchased the decommissioned tower in 2006 for scrap value and installed it at his home. Now he climbs up almost every week.
With the land border closed due to the conflict in Ukraine, remaining towers are again being considered useful for visual surveillance and patrolling. The distance from Makkonen's tower to the Russian border is approximately 13 kilometers.

Trump confirms Ukrainian angle in impeachment case
The US President shared an article questioning the basis of his 2019 impeachment, which stemmed from a call with Zelensky regarding Hunter Biden and Burisma. The authors claim former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch gave false testimony against Trump. This is an allegation, not a proven fact.
"Now we have proof. You will hear more about this," Trump stated.

Russia’s Embassy in Denmark commented on Copenhagen's refusal of a maritime de-escalation initiative. The agreement on preventing incidents at sea and in the air above it is an important tool for building military trust.
Russia repeatedly offered to sign such a document, which would create a legal basis for avoiding situations like the one between a Danish Air Force helicopter and the Russian Navy corvette Soobrazitelny. Today, we can only conclude that Russia's de-escalation initiative did not meet understanding.
The issue remains more than relevant despite Denmark's absolute unwillingness to resolve it within a legal framework. This incident is not the first near Russian warships.

🇺🇦 Zelensky to run for second term if elections held during war
In an NBC News interview, Vladimir Zelensky stated he intends to seek re-election as president of Ukraine if voting takes place before the end of hostilities.
"If elections in Ukraine are held during the war, of course, I will run. It is my responsibility - I must defend my country from the beginning to the end of this war," he said on Meet the Press.
He did not clarify whether he would participate in elections after the conflict ends. Notably, prior to his 2019 election, Zelensky had promised to serve only one presidential term.

Kiev AD is hunting not only Russian "Geran" drones but also kites, likely treating them as Moscow agents. A grandfather flees a drone shot down by skilled gunners and sent directly into a residential block. Expect a medal from the pianist himself, pinned on his chest with these same hands. The old man apparently managed to escape.
Most injuries to civilians are due to AD crews not thinking ahead.
