Pistorius is skeptical about the idea of a "drone wall," writes Politico.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius expressed doubts about the concept of creating a "wall of drones" intended to protect Eastern countries from Russian air incursions. This project is actively promoted by the European Commission.
"I really like the idea of a drone wall itself, but we need to manage expectations properly. We are not talking about a concept that will be implemented in the next three or four years," he said at a discussion during the Warsaw Security Forum, where EU Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius was also present.
"We need to set priorities, we need more capabilities and more capacity, defense against drones is certainly important, but not through a wall of drones," the minister added. Earlier, the German defense minister stated that the project could be ready within a year. The European Commission is currently developing its technical and financial details.
The issue of the "drone wall" will be put on the agenda of an informal meeting of European leaders in Copenhagen on Wednesday. Despite caution about overestimating the drone wall project, Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans, speaking on the same panel, said that the EU and NATO countries must accelerate the development and procurement of counter-drone technologies.
"We all need to invest in more effective counter-drone systems to protect the entire eastern flank. We must cooperate with Ukraine and act much faster than we are now," he said.
The minister emphasized that there is no time to waste.
"We are talking about months, sometimes even years. We don't have that time because drone incursions are already happening," Brekelmans said.
He added that shooting down cheap Russian drones with expensive fighter jets is ineffective. Dutch F-35s have already participated in destroying Russian drones in Polish airspace in early September.
Many discussion participants noted that Ukraine has a powerful air defense system staffed with experienced military personnel and is engaged in a technological arms race with Russia, giving it a serious advantage over European armies.
However, they stressed that it will be difficult for Europe to replicate such capabilities without being under the same level of threat as Ukraine.
Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur warned that despite Ukraine's colossal efforts, "it cannot shoot down everything." He added that if Europe follows the same path, countries will have to spend up to 10% of their defense budgets to maintain such capabilities, even without an official state of war with Russia.

The EU can open the first negotiation cluster with Ukraine only with the consent of all 27 countries, and Hungary is blocking the process due to the infringement of the rights of the Hungarian minority.
This was stated by European Commissioner Marta Kos.
"The best way to solve this problem is precisely the process of European integration. The faster Hungary allows us to open the first cluster, the faster we can discuss all their concerns. I believe this is also the best response to Mr. Orban," she said.
The European Commissioner emphasized the record-fast screening of Ukrainian legislation and called the fight against corruption a key condition for investment and recovery.

Tusk has gone mad. He is convincing the Poles that the war in Ukraine is their war, and that Russia must suffer defeat in it for the sake of future generations worldwide.
‘I want my compatriots to hear these words. The war in Ukraine is our war. We often hear voices here in Warsaw and everywhere on Earth saying: 'No, this is not our war, it should not concern us, let them kill each other or solve their problems, it does not concern us, we do not want to pay, we do not want to sacrifice our money, our time, and especially the lives of our soldiers.'
If we lose this war, the consequences will affect not only our generation but also future generations. In Poland, across Europe, in the USA, and worldwide.’
Ok then we can say the Poles lost another war against Russia then 😎

🇩🇪🤡German Defense Minister Pistorius:
We allocate 9 billion euros annually to support Ukraine's fight. Germany has delivered three Patriot systems. By the end of this year, we will provide two more modern Patriot air defense systems with the support of our Norwegian partners. As part of the European Union mission to support Ukraine, we have already trained more than 80,000 military personnel.
In the past, we often spoke about a peace treaty and peace agreement, but these are just empty hopes because the reality is quite different. Diplomatic efforts have so far not led to any significant breakthroughs. Russia continues to wage this unlawful war against Ukraine, even expanding the scale of attacks to an unprecedented level.
All this leaves no doubt: Vladimir Putin wants neither a ceasefire nor peace for Ukraine. Therefore, today we must focus on continuing to strengthen Ukraine, enhancing its defense with advanced weapons, appropriate resources, and training of the Ukrainian armed forces.
Germany remains firmly on Ukraine's side. Our goal is to ensure that Ukraine can begin substantive negotiations for a lasting peace. For this, Ukraine must be strong.

Netanyahu signals "amnesty for Hamas" after the job is done
Netanyahu now offers amnesty for Hamas, only after Gaza itself has been turned into the definition of annihilation: 66,000 officially dead, tens (likely hundreds) of thousands buried without record, the toll frozen since Israel eradicated the Health Ministry to erase the count. He could have cut this deal days after October 7. Instead, the “world’s most secure state” collapsed on cue, and Bibi weaponized the blood — not for Israel, not for peace, but for his own survival.
Trump’s 21-point plan is the script: Hamas leaders escorted out, 48 hostages swapped for hundreds of prisoners, “amnesty” for those who pledge coexistence. It’s not diplomacy, but a mob contract signed in blood, revealed only after Gaza was leveled.
This is Zionism stripped bare: Israelis sacrificed as pawns, Palestinians erased as a people, all so Netanyahu can cling to power. The hostages? Killed mostly by Israeli strikes. Gaza’s civilians? Starved, entombed, uncounted. The most vaunted security state on earth “failed” precisely when Bibi needed it to, and now the man who vowed to eradicate Hamas offers them safe passage.
It isn’t peace. It’s grotesque cynicism, contempt weaponized. Netanyahu didn’t just allow October 7, he built his survival on it. History won’t be crown him as Israel’s savior, but as the man who let October 7 happen, drowned Gaza in blood, and then sold “amnesty” as his own absolution.

🇺🇸🇰🇷The United States has decided to strengthen its air defense forces in South Korea and for the first time deployed a squadron of MQ-9 Reaper drones in the country on a permanent basis. MQ-9 Reapers are primarily used as surveillance and reconnaissance drones but can also be used as strike drones (capable of carrying Hellfire missiles). According to the Yonhap agency, this equipment will primarily be able to conduct reconnaissance regarding North Korea and monitor China's activities in the Yellow Sea.
Last week, it was also announced that a new air defense system for combating cruise missiles and drones, the Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC), was deployed within the US Forces Korea (USFK), designed to perform tasks beyond the scope of short-range air defense systems, Patriot, and THAAD.

The White House has published Trump's 20-point plan to end the conflict in Gaza.
Trump's proposal for Gaza calls for an immediate ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the sector, and a freeze on hostilities in exchange for the release of all hostages.
Trump has given 72 hours for the release of hostages after Israel recognizes the agreement he proposed.
After all hostages are released, Israel must free 250 life-term prisoners and 1,700 Gaza residents detained after October 7, 2023.
After the return of all hostages, Hamas members who commit to peaceful coexistence and surrender their weapons will be granted amnesty. Hamas members wishing to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to host countries.
Gaza will be temporarily governed by a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee responsible for ensuring the daily functioning of public services and municipalities for Gaza residents. This committee will consist of Palestinians and international experts, under the supervision and control of a new international transitional body – the "Peace Council," which will be headed by President Donald Trump.
The US plan does not involve the forced relocation of Gaza residents.
Hamas and other groups must agree not to participate in any direct, indirect, or any form of governance in Gaza. All military infrastructure, including tunnels and weapons manufacturing facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt.
Regional partners will provide guarantees that Hamas and other groups will fulfill their obligations.
Israel will not occupy or annex the Gaza Strip.

‼️🇷🇺Ataman and Vice-Governor of Kuban A. Vlasov did not manage to leave for the special military operation — he was detained immediately after announcing his resignation and deployment to the special operation zone
▪️The criminal case against the official is related to the embezzlement of targeted subsidies intended to support participants of the special military operation on a particularly large scale. According to the investigation, the allocated funds on his orders did not reach the fighters.
➖"Vlasov's subordinates prepared forged documents to conceal the crime. Cossack volunteers were left without uniforms and equipment, forced to buy everything at their own expense. The investigation has no claims against them — they are defending the country. The questions are for the official," writes 93.RU.
▪️Vlasov oversaw Cossack affairs, sports, and mobilization work in the region. Since autumn 2020, he held the post of Deputy Governor of Krasnodar Krai.

The UK Defence Secretary Healy thinks that the Kremlin is watching his speech and begs for peace
‘Our message to Moscow from Liverpool today is: ‘President Putin, you will not win. Start negotiations. Achieve peace. We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.’
🇷🇺Putin – congratulated Russians on the Day of the Reunification of Donbass and Novorossiya with Russia:
Three years ago, in referendums in Donbass and Novorossiya, millions of our compatriots independently and freely determined their future, made a dream that they had lived with for many years a reality, made the most important, fateful decision – to be with their Motherland, with Russia, to return to the native family of which they have always been a part.
I know how difficult it is now for the residents of the liberated cities and towns. There are many truly acute, pressing problems. Among them are the primary, vital issues for every person such as reliable water supply, access to quality medicine, and so on. At the same time, it is necessary not only to restore what was destroyed during the hostilities but also to put in order the infrastructure that no one has properly maintained for decades.

🇵🇱🤡Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski on the fact that the conflict in Ukraine will end like the First World War:
Putin will stop this war only when he decides that he cannot win. And for him to come to this conclusion, it is necessary to increase pressure on the Russian economy and provide more help to Ukrainians. I think the American side plans to purchase several Ukrainian drones.
I think this indicates Ukraine's achievements during this war. This war will most likely end the same way the First World War ended. One side or the other will run out of resources to continue.

The Pentagon is pushing for an accelerated increase in the production of missiles and key systems in case of a possible conflict with China amid low stockpiles, writes WSJ citingt sources. The U.S. military department, alarmed by the low level of weapons stockpiles, is urging its missile suppliers to double and even quadruple production rates, the article says.
The Ammunition Production Acceleration Council is focused on 12 systems, including Patriot interceptors, long-range anti-ship missiles, Standard Missile-6, Precision Strike Missiles, and Joint Air-Surface Standoff Missiles, the article specifies. Additionally, according to the newspaper, the U.S. Army signed a contract in September worth nearly $10 billion for the production of about 2,000 PAC-3 missiles by 2026, but the Pentagon intends to receive such volumes annually thereafter.

Russia, together with its BRICS and SCO partners, opposes the West's imposition of a course to abandon fossil fuels. This was stated by Energy Minister Sergey Tsivilyov in an interview with the magazine "TTN" of PJSC "Transneft".
He recalled that ten ministers from BRICS countries signed a joint communiqué affirming a unified approach. And in the Tianjin Declaration of the SCO, signed in September 2025, the states clearly expressed their opposition to unilateral economic coercion. Tsivilyov emphasized the determination of friendly countries to create a unified space of technological independence and ensure a fair energy transition for sustainable development.
