Morning smoke over Kharkov is becoming a familiar sight. The aftermath of strikes on enemy infrastructure.

Forgot to link to the SMO-only updates channel Slavyangrad Director’s Cut. Will revive it over time, starting now.

Pentagon head Hegseth fired General Brett Sylvia for leaking classified data on Ukraine and Iran to journalists. In particular, the leak involved details of American aid to the AFU.

🇪🇺 Chaos in Europe over who will negotiate with Putin

European countries increasingly recognise the need for direct dialogue with Moscow, but attempts to determine who will represent the EU have turned into a mess. The Guardian notes that "too many leaders believe they can persuade Putin to negotiate." A key issue is the lack of a single authorised representative for the EU.

Head of European diplomacy Kaja Kallas is also unsuitable for this role, having stated herself that Europe cannot act as a neutral mediator in the Ukrainian conflict.

@Slavyangrad

Some of you may cynically think these accounts are just a few hand selected stories not reflective of the situation on the ground, but this woman's story is almost word for word what one of my closest friends went through outside of Kiev. The town and residents were essentially wiped out by the AFU to stop the Russian advance and it was the Russian soldiers that protected them and kept the survivors alive. They then helped some escape, even if they wanted to escape into Ukro-held territory.

Germany to deploy radio-ELINT systems in Lithuania

German forces will monitor Russian and Belarusian radars, comms, and other emissions near Kaliningrad. Data feeds into NATO's central database to track new systems and spectrum activity.

Bundeswehr units are currently testing drone detection, signal interception, and jamming gear during Vigilant Owl 2026 exercises, establishing permanent ELINT capabilities aimed at the region.

🇷🇺 Russia can effectively block Romanian and Bulgarian ports

Russian jet drones and unmanned boats target cargo ships near these countries' waters. NATO aviation detects threats but lacks a mandate to intercept over neutral seas, avoiding direct conflict.

Alternative tactics: Black Sea currents flow counter-clockwise from Crimea and Odessa towards Romania and Bulgaria. Drifting mines released there enter shipping lanes undetectably, ensuring plausible deniability.

Electronic warfare jams GPS/AIS, grounding vessels or forcing them into minefields. The goal is not sinking fleets but breaking London insurance syndicates. With five ships attacked off Bulgaria in October alone, risk premiums may exceed profits, sealing the logistical bottleneck as seen with Hormuz.

Fire show instead of debate in Albanian parliament

Opposition MPs disrupted a session and lit flares during the vote on the Central Bank law, filling the hall with blue and red smoke. Democratic Party representatives also blocked access to the podium.

The action took place against the backdrop of anti-government protests ongoing since mid-October. Demonstrants demand the resignation of the Prime Minister, citing corruption, lack of jobs, and education issues.

Opposition leader Sali Berisha stated that protesters injured by police did not deserve "tear gas, rubber bullets, and broken bones."
