Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski expressed hope that the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert "Magyar" Brody, would disable the Druzhba oil pipeline through which Hungary receives Russian oil.
This was Sikorski's response on X to his Hungarian colleague Péter Szijjártó, who commented on the news in which Sikorski did not rule out that a Polish court might order the plane carrying Vladimir Putin to be grounded and arrest him if he entered Polish airspace.
"Radosław Sikorski talks about an independent court that, on the orders of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, refused to extradite the terrorist who blew up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline?" Szijjártó wrote.
"Péter, I am proud of the Polish court that ruled that the saboteur of the invader is not a criminal. Moreover, I hope that your brave compatriot, Major Magyar, will finally be able to disable the oil pipeline that feeds Putin's war machine, and you will receive your oil through Croatia," Sikorski replied.
The statement by the Polish minister was commented on by Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, who called him "Usama bin Sikorski," comparing him to the terrorist responsible for the 2001 attack in New York.

Ukraine demands freedom to use $163 billion of frozen Russian assets, Reuters reports.
According to the agency, Kiev insists that the EU loan funds of $163 billion, formed based on frozen Russian assets, should not be restricted and used only for European weapons.
The money, the publication notes, is needed to purchase weapons from any countries, to restore damages from Russian attacks, and to pay compensation to victims.
Part of the loan will be directed to cooperation with European defense companies, but Ukraine demands autonomy in spending the funds.
The majority of the loan will also go to restoring critical infrastructure, and a smaller part to compensating citizens.
Earlier, the Spanish El Pais already wrote that Ukraine will have enough funds to exist only until April 2026.

EU leaders are expected to approve the 19th package of sanctions tomorrow, which moves the ban on imports of Russian LNG one year earlier - from January 2027, Bloomberg reports.
Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia have already withdrawn their objections and promised not to block the sanctions. Recall, Vienna tried to ease current sanctions so that its Raiffeisen Bank could unfreeze its 2 billion euros in Russia, but abandoned this demand after failing to gain EU support.
The new restrictions also target Russian banks; creditors in Central Asia; several cryptocurrency exchanges; Chinese and Indian companies that helped Russia circumvent sanctions; impose a ban on the export of goods worth more than 40 billion euros used in Moscow's military industry, including minerals, ceramics, and rubber; and blacklist more than 100 additional oil tankers.
More EU sanctions... oh no 😂

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia has a new tactic: to completely disable the energy system on the left bank of the Dnepr — Telegraf
▪️The Russians have a new tactic: to unbalance the left and right banks, Ukrainian journalists write.
▪️As a result of recent attacks, almost all strikes have been recorded on the left bank of the Dnepr.
▪️A significant part of the thermal and hydroelectric power plants are concentrated there. If they are destroyed, a critical electricity shortage will arise in the east.
▪️At the same time, in the west, where nuclear power plants operate, a surplus will form, which cannot be transmitted to the east due to insufficient network capacity.

History of the Wunderwaffen: The "Game Changers" that changed nothing (and never will), part 4/4:
Now that the Commissar has drawn enough parallels between World War 2 and the war in Ukraine, he can reach a conclusion to satisfactorily explain you all why "Wunder-waffen" or "Game-changers" are completely worthless:
1) Technical superiority is not enough without critical mass, logistics, and timing. Having a "fantastic" weapon means zilch if, by the time you're done building one, the enemy has churned out fifty thousand "good enough" weapons (Helloooooo Panther tank vs T-34/85).
2) Technological propaganda can boost morale, but it is no substitute for industrial production and strategic resilience. Having posters featuring the latest "game-changer" again means zilch if you or your friends (who are sending you to the slaughter; some friends you have) can't produce them in large enough quantities to have any real impact, or run out of funds or materials too quickly to continue production, let alone ramping it up.
3) Real effectiveness requires systemic integration, doctrine, training, and logistical continuity: inserting new "game-changers" into your arsenal takes time and a lot of trial-and-error to see what works, what needs improvement, and what never will work.
But the more important thing about wunder-waffe/game changers is:
IF YOU NEED A WUNDER-WAFFEN/GAME CHANGER TO BEGIN WITH, IT MEANS THAT THE WAR IS LOST, AND YOU'RE GRASPING AT STRAWS HOPING FOR A MIRACLE TO REVERSE ITS COURSE, AND THE LEADERSHIP OF UKRAINE IS ONCE AGAIN EMULATING THEIR NAZI "FOREFATHERS" EVEN WHEN LOSING.
@Slavyangrad
History of the Wunderwaffen: The "Game Changers" that changed nothing (and never will), part 2/4:
1) Purely theoretical and used only for propaganda wunderwaffen:
These weapons existed primarily as political narratives: sketchy projects, fanciful designs, or unrealized patents used to boost internal morale and frighten the enemy. Their primary function was communication and legitimacy for the regime rather than actual military application. Think about all the many nazi "superweapons" that were unfeasible in mass production (or just production, period!), projects publicized through the press and speeches but never transformed into operational prototypes. All these weapons had absolutely zero strategic or operational impact, but had significant impact on the psychological and political levels, fueling myths that endured in the postwar period (Like the nazi ufos in Antarctica or on the moon).
2) "Theoretically useful" but plagued by technical and logistical challenges:
These projects were based on real technical concepts and sometimes working prototypes, but they encountered practical obstacles: complex production, limited material availability, impossible field maintenance, or middling performance compared to expectations. Many required new assembly lines, high-precision components, or fuels/alloys which Germany was in no position of affording.
Typical examples include high-performance aircraft with immature engines, missiles or guided weapons systems requiring high maintenance, and gigantic bodies difficult to transport and refuel. They could offer isolated tactical advantages or demonstrations of potential, but their contribution was limited by costs, reduced reliability, and logistical inefficiencies that prevented their deployment on a useful scale, and in many cases their production diverted resources and materials that could've been put to better use by building "boring" but effective substitutes, like StuGs or Panzer IVs.
3) Truly Effective, But Too Little, Too Late:
These weapons were technically sound and could have influenced the course of local operations, but they were produced in insufficient numbers, introduced too late, or deployed in strategically compromised conditions. The combination of slowed production, bombing of industrial infrastructure, and loss of territorial control rendered them ineffective on a strategic scale.
These were systems that, if present in large numbers or introduced early, could have slowed enemy offensives or delayed advances, but in reality were available in too small batches or when the overall situation was already beyond recovery. These wunderwaffen had a real (but limited) tactical impact, and no decisive effect on the outcome of the war due to a lack of critical mass, timing, and logistical support, like the StG-44 (the first "assault rifle" to be fielded in large quantities; no Gleb, the Fedorov doesn't count), or the Type XXI submarine.

❗️Putin conducted a training exercise today on managing nuclear forces.
All components of the strategic nuclear forces were involved: land-based, naval, and air-based.
— A "Yars" ballistic missile was launched over Kamchatka. Tu-95MS bombers carried out cruise missile launches. The nuclear submarine "Bryansk" launched a "Sineva" missile.
But I just wanted to test the "Oreshnik" again at the range called "Ukraine"

Results of the night-morning strikes on Ukraine (22.10.25): a very effective strike - where and with what they hit.
So, in addition to the previously mentioned list of two CHP plants in Kiev and four hydroelectric power plants on the Dnepr, the last Kiev CHP-4 (in Darnytsia) and the Trypolskaya TPP were also damaged.
The detailed picture of the affected facilities now looks like this (we take only energy facilities, although not only they were hit):
- Kiev CHP-6 (Desnianskyi district) — strike using 30 UAVs (here and below, including UAVs - "Gerbera" decoys).
- Kiev CHP-5 (Goloshevskyi district, burned especially brightly) — strike by 30 UAVs and 4 "Iskander-M" missiles.
- Kiev CHP-4 (Darnytskyi district) — hit by 40 UAVs and 4 "Iskander" missiles.
- "Kiev" substation (near CHP-5) - strike by 40 UAVs and 2 Kh-69 missiles.
- Trypolskaya TPP - strike by 40 UAVs.
- Kanev HPP — strike by 30 UAVs and 4 "Iskander-M" missiles.
- Kremenchug HPP - strike by 40 UAVs and 2 Kh-69 missiles.
- Srednedneprovsk HPP - strike by 40 UAVs and 4 Kh-59 missiles.
- Dnep HPP - strike by 30 UAVs, 4 500 kg gliding KABs and 2 Kh-35 missiles.
We also repeatedly hit Poltava gas extraction facilities, smaller substations (than "Kiev") and railway infrastructure.
Judging by comments from Kiev — the strike was very effective. They say there will definitely be an energy collapse this winter. As they say, we shall see. Meanwhile, this is clearly not the last such strike.
@Slavyangrad
Polish journalist Lisitsky – called Sikorski's threats against Putin nonsense:
There is no indication that Putin will fly over Poland, so this issue is simply not serious. So why is our foreign minister threatening? What does he want to achieve with this nonsense? Besides the fact that by this step he makes Poland the most adventurous country in Europe.
But if, as a result, the Russian president does not intend to fly over Poland, then what, I repeat the question, benefit will we get? I just don't see any other benefit except the one characteristic of Mr. Sikorski's diplomacy. He constantly flexes his muscles, constantly demonstrating how important he is and how seriously Poland's position is here.

From Ukrainian media:
The Russian army has begun using a new tactic to locate Ukrainian FPV drone crews, reports UAV expert Flesh.
"An FPV drone with a large battery flies around the front line, hovering over fields and villages. Video is recorded simultaneously on an SD card in several frequency bands. Upon return, the video is analyzed. The task is to find the locations of FPV pilots who take off with low VTX power. Distant interception points do not detect weak signals, but the radio reconnaissance drone captures the image well at milliwatt levels," writes Sergey Beskrestnov.
The crews controlling UAVs are a priority target for both sides, as drones are currently the main weapon in this war.

History of the Wunderwaffen: The "Game Changers" that changed nothing (and never will), part 3/4:
Now that I'm done explaining what wonder-weapons were, you may be wondering "why is the Commissar telling us all this pish?". Well, my dear SLG readers, the reason is that there's far too many parallels between the Wunderwaffen of WW2 and the "Game-changers" that have been sent to Ukraine not to drive a certain conclusion. See for yourselves:
Propaganda or Symbolic Weapons: we have weapons that serve more to send a political message or boost morale than to change the operational balance:
1) The Leopard 2 or Challenger 2 tanks were presented as "decisive," but were deployed in very small numbers and often vulnerable in the field, and ultimately proved to be paper tigers (I still remember how the Challenger 2, that should've "plowed through" Russian defensive lines in 2023, often got stuck in the mud, ultimately "plowing through" the battlefield...by being towed back to base).
2) F-16s: symbol of escalation and deterrence, but not yet operational en masse nor integrated into Ukrainian doctrine, and obsolete, often old models, that are easily shot down by Russian SAMs or even friendly fire.
3) Promised but constrained long-range missiles (e.g., Taurus): used as diplomatic leverage rather than as immediate instruments of war.
Weapons with (some) technical potential but operational limitations:
Advanced technologies that suffer from logistics, training, maintenance, or compatibility with Ukrainian infrastructure.
1) Patriot, IRIS-T AA systems: somewhat effective, but in too few numbers, require costly interceptors that are in ever-shrinking supply, are very vulnerable to saturation, and are incredibly painful to lose, because it takes years to build replacements.
2) Sophisticated Western drones (like the Bayraktar): often too expensive or complex for widespread and continuous use in the field.
3) Good tanks/vehicles on paper, like the M1 Abrams amd MRAPs, but that come with their own sets of problems, like poor logistics, scarce access to spare parts, and that are way too heavy and cumbersome for the eastern front (where every vehicle is always one rasputitsa season away from getting stuck in the mud)
3. Truly effective weapons but in insufficient quantities: these technologies have demonstrated real tactical impact, but haven't been delivered on a sufficient scale or too late to reverse the strategic dynamic.
1) HIMARS and precision-guided munitions: They have successfully hit strategic targets, but Russia has adapted its defenses and dispersed its stockpiles, with the result that they're growing less and less effective.
2) FPV drones, even the "craft workshop" ones: They show increasing offensive capabilities, but production and mass deployment are still under development, and will likely never reach the mass required.
3) UGVs for evacuation and logistics (e.g., Ardal): Tactical innovations that save lives but do not alter the strategic balance.

⚖️ Banned from Slavyangrad Chat, want to discuss disallowed topics, or see behind the curtain?
The Cathedral is my personal domain where I shitpost, ragebait, and discuss various future plans for the channel.
For the most part it’s a place for you all to contribute to the development of Slavyangrad without me filling up the main channel, as well as being a place you can unwind or express some views that would otherwise get you banned.
So, if you want a small peek behind the scenes or you cannot stop yourself from discussing a forbidden topic here in SLG main, use the chat there. This protects members of the team that are living in "Freedom" countries.
Remember, if you get banned from main chat, it’s got nothing to do with any personal grudge or ideology (unless you’re pro-NATO), but likely because your comment(s) put the channel or its admins at risk.
History of the Wunderwaffen: The "Game Changers" that changed nothing (and never will), part 1/4:
You've all heard it countless times. "Game-changers". "Wonder-weapons". And a plethora other nicknames, like "solution to the ukrainian problem" - weapons powerful enough that, IN THEORY, should completely turn the outcome of a conflict around and give the party that uses them a decisive edge. But where does this name come from?
The idea of Wunderwaffen was born back in the times of nazi Germany post-Unternehmen Zitadelle (mid-1943), when it became clear that nazi Germany could never win the war. Out of real desperation, the nazi German command funded all sorts of scientists and designer boards with all sorts of outlandish, wacky ideas. Many of them were quickly picked up by Mr. Goebbels who said "hey, the morale of our troops is wavering, might as well make a big deal out of these things!".
And thus, Wunderwaffen were born - miracle weapons to bring nazi Germany to the Endsieg with!
Exceeeeeeeeeept...they really didn't. To understand why they failed, it'd be perhaps useful to talk about the topic in greater detail. So, allow the Commissar to illuminate you.
Wunderwaffen during WW2 came in three types:
1) Purely theoretical and used only for propaganda
2) "Sort-of" workable but with very limited impacts on the war
3) Useful designs, but too little too late to have a real impact.

Vice President of the Heritage Foundation Victoria Coates suggests Europeans should freeze in winter just to spite Putin.
- They still have not given up Russian gas. This is where we need to start — with our European partners and allies, because this war is happening in Europe. They need to put an end to it.
But they can't just cut off Russian gas like that. Winter is approaching in Europe. If they simply refuse Russian gas, where will they buy it?
- This has already happened for the fourth time since the start of the war, and in these four years they have taken no steps to change anything. I think they can import more American gas — this was part of the trade agreement with the EU. It's doable, but they lack a sense of urgency because the Biden administration has turned a blind eye to this for years. I think this is exactly where President Trump can really increase pressure.
What people don’t understand is there are two reasons (ok there are more) but for simplicity:
1) Long-term gas contracts that are take or pay. Even if you don’t want the gas, you still pay.
2) Infrastructure: Gas transmission system to get gas from the LNG import terminal into your countries storage facilities.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces fear that if Ukraine somehow regains its territories, the country will again be ‘infected’ with Russian culture.
‘I dream of returning to Crimea, but I understand that it is currently impossible to reclaim these places by military means. Perhaps in the future, it might be possible to do so diplomatically. But many people in the occupied territory have had their minds washed. It’s like a partially rotten apple: if reintegrated, it could infect other parts of the country. So, maybe we should consider the idea of freezing the front line where it is today,’
🤭At least domething instead of the Nobel Prize – Trump was awarded the "Architect of Peace" prize for 2025-2026:

"President Trump's foreign policy 'America First' is based on active personal diplomacy combined with the philosophy of peace through strength.
The results were simply incredible in terms of the number of ceasefires and peace agreements he achieved around the world," the foundation's statement said.
