🚆 In Ivano-Frankovsk, police were called after an electronic scoreboard on the Kiev–Rakhov train briefly displayed the words: “Glory to Russia.”

The “offender” was never found. Officers only confiscated the tablet from which the message had been broadcast.

Estonia has accused Russian jets of violating its airspace for 12 minutes — a claim quickly weaponized by Western officials who argue it was a deliberate provocation. Yet, as Korybko notes, similar recent allegations by Poland and von der Leyen collapsed under scrutiny, suggesting this may be another politically convenient hoax aimed at keeping Trump locked into the Baltics. With NATO security aid under question and talk of F-35 deployments, Estonia has every incentive to escalate rhetoric.

Read the full breakdown here — it’s a sharp reminder of how narratives are manufactured to box Trump into confrontation:

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 WSJ: Russia is increasingly using large “mother drones” that release smaller strike UAVs and act as signal relays.

▪️These drones are hitting Ukrainian supply routes far beyond the front, including roads once considered safe.
➖ Ukrainian forces admit: “Attacks on the army’s supply lines have shifted from episodic to constant over the year.”
▪️Even anti-drone nets stretched over roads cannot reliably protect against attacks.

❗️ Former Moldovan President and leader of the Patriotic Bloc, Igor Dodon, has accused Maia Sandu of preparing an attack on Transnistria. His words were reported by local media.

“If PAS remains in power, the Sorosists will force Sandu to attack Transnistria together with Zelensky and open a second front there — in support of Ukraine and against Russia. A similar second front scenario was already attempted in Georgia, but it failed, and now it’s Moldova’s turn,”

said Dodon.

The ex-president also dismissed rumors that Russia plans to invade Moldova if his party wins the elections. Instead, he called for strengthening the neutral status of the Republic and accused Sandu of militarizing the country:

“If Dodon is pro-Russian, as the ‘yellow’ claim, then why would the Russians attack ‘their own’? <…> We did not buy radars that now catch flies. We did not start building a military base in Băcioi. We did not bring in Piranha armored personnel carriers, and we do not organize NATO exercises every six months. All this was done and is being done by Maia Sandu.”

‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️ The Verkhovna Rada is preparing to severely restrict the work of journalists.

▪️ The draft law increases liability for so-called “false information,” regulates the procedure for refutations, and introduces new restrictions on the media.
▪️ Information will automatically be considered false if it is not confirmed by a court verdict.
▪️ Journalists will be forbidden from publishing materials on corruption or criminal schemes until court proceedings are completed — a process that can drag on for years.
▪️ The bill introduces a “right to be forgotten,” allowing demands to delete any information, even if true, if it is deemed “outdated” or “no longer of public interest.”
▪️ Another provision covers “moral damage”: lawsuits can be filed even over evaluative judgments or the “unpleasant tone” of an article.

‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️ “Bad news for Zelensky”: The Telegraph assessed Trump’s latest statement.

➖ “What at first glance may seem like a stunning turnaround could in fact be bad news for Vladimir Zelensky… Instead of promising new support for Ukraine or escalating actions against Russia, Trump appears to be handing everything over to Europe and NATO,” the paper notes.

▪️ Journalists conclude that Trump is “washing his hands” of the conflict in Ukraine.

➖ “There are no hints of additional support for Ukraine or of punishing Moscow further. His only commitment is to continue selling weapons to allies. It is unlikely that this will be a game-changer,” the article states.

Hackers attacked at least four European airports. Disruptions are observed at London Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin. A total of 15 flights have been delayed, and two more have been canceled.

Friday's cyberattack affected Collins Aerospace, the company responsible for check-in and boarding systems. At London Heathrow Airport, six flights were delayed and two canceled. In Berlin, nine flights were delayed. Due to technical failures, waiting times for check-in have increased, and restoration work on the systems is underway.

According to the administration, if the issues are not fixed today, there will be even more delays and cancellations. Passengers are currently asked to check in manually and confirm information with their airlines before departure.

‼️🇩🇪🇪🇺 Financial Times reports that Germany wants to take the lead in the rearmament of the European Union, creating “coalitions of collective potential” for joint weapons development and procurement — especially in air defense — under the pretext of defending the eastern flank from Russia.

▪️ Berlin is calling for a stronger role for the European Defence Agency in coordinating arms purchases, and for lifting restrictions on weapons production, including easing state aid rules, to rapidly expand the arms industry in times of crisis.
▪️ Germany also insists on involving Ukraine and other countries in joint projects, but rejects financing through new EU debt, proposing instead to rely on existing defense credits and national budgets.
▪️ These plans are set out in a document prepared for the October meeting of EU leaders, where a roadmap for the EU’s military build-up to 2030 will be presented.

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦 The Five Most Likely Motives Behind Trump’s Sudden Rhetorical Shift on Ukraine

The proxy conflict has reached a dangerous stage where escalation could spiral out of control. Trump shocked observers with a long statement suggesting that Ukraine might not only retake all lost territories with NATO support, but could “even go further than that.” Whether he truly intends to follow Biden’s path of an endless commitment — risking turning the SMO into another “forever war” and potentially a direct clash with Russia — remains unclear. Here are the five most likely motives behind his sudden shift:

1️⃣ Displeasure with Putin
Trump expected his personal ties with Putin to help mediate peace, but no progress was made since Putin refused to make military concessions for promised US investments. Trump also showed no willingness to pressure Zelensky in return. His post signals frustration with this deadlock.

2️⃣ Appeasing Ukraine and NATO
Ukraine agreed in spring to amend its minerals deal, while NATO in summer accepted paying full price for new US arms destined for Kiev. Trump’s rhetoric appears as a reward, encouraging them to keep bending to his demands in the future.

3️⃣ Boosting the Military-Industrial Complex
By fueling NATO’s purchases of US weapons, Trump ensures that Washington’s arms industry — already holding 43% of the global market compared to France’s 9.6% and Russia’s 7.8% — profits further. His statement gives political cover for more sales.

4️⃣ Yielding to Warmongers
Figures like Zelensky and Lindsey Graham have been lobbying Trump intensively. His phrase “after getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation” suggests their influence succeeded in reshaping his views.

5️⃣ Creating Exploitable Leverage
Sustaining tensions allows Washington to squeeze allies further, just as Trump did with his lopsided trade deal with the EU. Keeping the conflict simmering creates opportunities to strengthen America’s dominance over its dependents.

⚠️ The situation is increasingly unstable. If Washington escalates, Russia will either have to respond in kind or consider concessions to prevent global catastrophe. Moscow could also preemptively escalate to deny the US its expected gains — which in turn would be spun as justification for even greater American involvement. The SMO is approaching a point where miscalculation could unleash uncontrollable consequences.

‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️ Bloomberg reports that Ukraine’s need for foreign financing is twice as high as its government initially planned.

▪️ By the end of 2027, Kiev will require about $65 billion, instead of the $38 billion forecast by the authorities.
▪️ This revised assessment has already been submitted to the European Commission.
▪️ The next IMF program for Ukraine may be half the size of the previous one — around $8 billion.
▪️ The current $15.5 billion program runs until 2027, but Kiev has already received most of these funds.

⛔️ As Zelensky plays the victim in New York, his Ukrainian Nazi forces are terrorising civilians here in Russia. Another day, another terror attack, this time Novorossiysk in the south, at least 3 people killed, 11 wounded, including a child.

‼️🇺🇸 The New York Times reports that the Trump administration has taken radical steps in its escalation against Latin American drug cartels, moves that could have serious legal and geopolitical consequences.

▪️ Trump ordered the State Department to classify drug cartels as terrorist organizations. At the same time, he secretly signed a directive authorizing the Pentagon to use military force against them.
▪️ This decision creates a legal framework for US military operations both at sea and on the territory of other states. The military is already working on potential courses of action, raising difficult legal questions.
▪️ Previously, Trump deployed the National Guard and military personnel to the southwestern border to disrupt drug trafficking and curb illegal immigration, showing his commitment to a force-based solution.

‼️🇺🇸🇵🇸 US President Donald Trump has unveiled a new plan for resolving the Gaza conflict, presenting it to Arab and Muslim leaders during the UN General Assembly, reports N12.

▪️ The plan envisions the release of hostages, a ceasefire, the gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops, and the creation of an administration mechanism without Hamas.
▪️ Arab leaders signaled readiness to support the proposal, provided there is expanded humanitarian aid for Gaza, guarantees that Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza and the West Bank, and a halt to undermining the status quo at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
▪️ Following the session, the US Secretary of State and special envoy met with Arab foreign ministers to develop a more detailed plan based on Trump’s principles. Temporary governance of Gaza would be entrusted to a Palestinian committee under international oversight, including representatives of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA).

‼️🇬🇧🇵🇸 Britain has officially recognised the state of Palestine.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced the decision at the UN General Assembly, with London joining Canada, Australia, and Portugal in recognising Palestine within the 1967 borders. Foreign Office maps have already been updated to show Gaza and the West Bank as “Palestine” rather than “Occupied Palestinian Territories.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted with fury, declaring that a Palestinian state “will not happen” and accusing London of rewarding terrorism. He found support in Britain, with Nigel Farage offering condolences and Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch calling the move “absolutely disastrous.”

Despite the recognition, Starmer made clear that Palestine would be a demilitarised entity with no army or air force. Israel will continue to control land, sea, and air borders, leaving no real change to the status quo. Starmer also insisted that “Hamas can have no future” in Palestinian politics.

As historian Ilan Pappé noted, this recognition amounts to little more than endorsing a powerless political entity over fragments of the West Bank — less than 20% of its territory — while Gaza lies in ruins and Israeli settlement expansion continues.

In reality, Britain’s recognition looks like empty gesture politics. London still arms Israel, conducts spy flights over Gaza, and refuses to ban trade with illegal settlements. Far from changing Palestinian reality, Starmer appears to be recognising a political cadaver.
