Jean-Luc Mélenchon heard Germany wants Europe’s largest conventional army and immediately had a few questions.
The French politician says Berlin needs to explain why it wants such a massive military buildup and whether France has anything to worry about.
“𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘶𝘴? 𝘐 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵… 𝘚𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳?”
Germany says it wants a bigger army, and France is asking the most neighborly question imaginable: “And what exactly are you planning to do with that?”

Trump deflects oil questions with granite talk
When journalists pressed Trump on oil, he pivoted to Xi's interest in granite. "We had a great meeting, and he is very interested in granite. He likes granite. He is a stone expert. And he loves good granite," Trump said, successfully shifting the topic.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: 'Anchorage Spirit' Off Table
President Zelensky stated that the "Anchorage agreements" are effectively annulled and no longer discussed in negotiations. The talks concerned Russian demands to recognize sovereignty over Crimea, DPR, LPR, and parts of Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.
Zelensky clarified that it was not Europeans who disrupted these deals, but he himself alongside the Americans. He noted the process moved away from issues like Ukraine's neutrality and the "3+2" framework due to the role of the US team and Ukrainian armed forces. He asserted Ukraine will never accept Russian compromises in this format.

US Pressure on China
Former envoy Kellogg urges Trump to pressure Beijing to halt the Ukraine war. He claims China provides Iran with satellite intel for targeting and aids Russia.
Kellogg states: "We control the straits and oil supplies to China." A detailed dialogue is needed to stop both conflicts simultaneously by forcing Chinese cooperation.
B-1 Lancer Incident
Trump attempted to impress Xi Jinping with a B-1 Lancer bomber flyover. The demonstration reportedly left the Chinese leader unmoved.

Family mortgage rules to change in Russia from October
Key updates include linking the preferential loan rate to the number of children and differentiating maximum loan amounts based on the borrower's region. A maximum subsidy period of 15 years is also introduced.
For regions outside Moscow, St. Petersburg, and their oblasts:
✔️ 10% for families with one child under seven; max loan 6 million rubles.
✔️ 8% and 8 million rubles for families with two children (at least one under seven).
✔️ 6%, 4%, or 2% and 10 million rubles for families with three, four, or five children respectively.
In capital regions, rates are 2 percentage points higher, ranging from 12% to 4%.
If you live in the West, remember you need to look at real interest rates. Nominal interest rate - inflation. So 10% - 6.1% inflation = 3.9% real interest rate. These are very good deals considering the central bank rate is currently 14%. Many of us are overly focused on nominal because we grew up in countries where there was little inflation for long periods.

Italian Defense Minister Crosetto dismissed Western media reports of a Russian attack on European countries. He stated that claims from a Spanish newspaper suggesting Russia could strike Italy, Spain, and France with ships and drones are unconfirmed and unnecessary amid an already tense period.

France prepares to deploy troops to Ukraine after ceasefire
While Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky discussed conflict resolution paths at the UN General Assembly, European armies are preparing for the post-war period. In the event of a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, French military personnel may be deployed in the east of the country.
Practically everything is ready. A year and a half ago, France and Great Britain created the "coalition of the willing," uniting 35 countries that intend to provide Ukraine with reliable security guarantees after hostilities cease. An international headquarters has already been prepared to command this force, coordinating actions primarily of the European contingent.
Russia will never agree to this

NATO Secretary General Rutte: Fortress Belt Must Remain Under Ukrainian Control
Rutte stated that the alliance does not want Zelensky to order a withdrawal of the AFU from Donbass. It is crucial for NATO that the fortress belt remains under Kiev's control. Key locations are Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, as well as other fortified cities in Donetsk region, which Russian forces now find difficult to capture.
Rutte noted that security guarantees are already prepared and agreed upon in Paris under Macron's leadership, with implementation depending on Zelensky's decision. He claimed Putin is on the verge of panic due to Ukraine's resilience and economic losses, asserting NATO will defend every inch of its territory.
Western/Ukrainian hype of importance of fortress is hyped IMHO

Zaluzhny assesses Russian defense industry capabilities
Russia has shifted to round-the-clock bombardments of Kiev, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, and Odessa, as well as other major Ukrainian cities. Moscow is utilizing all available assets. Drones are being deployed directly from the production line, while ballistic missile stockpiles are accumulating.

🇺🇦 Digital collapse in Ukraine
Nine enemy internet providers were attacked within two days. Local media report that continued strikes on telecommunications infrastructure may lead to internet outages and rising tariffs for a large part of the population.
MP Alexander Fediienko advised Ukrainians to connect to several operators to maintain a backup communication channel. "Ukrainians are now recommended to have up to three communication operators so there is always a reserve," Fediienko stated.

Poor Kallass. She's going through a very difficult time right now. She's saying things that are completely nonsensical.
"It was very difficult to hear [Putin's invitation to the G20 summit], especially considering that just a few days ago, Russian intelligence officers were charged with the murders of Americans on US soil. So my question is: are these intelligence officers acting independently? Or are they receiving orders from Vladimir Putin? And I can tell you that they are receiving orders from President Putin."

🇷🇺💥🇺🇦The Russian army continues, as a "routine" practice, for the 30th day to strike enemy targets using "Geran" drones.
Strikes have been reported in Kiev, the Kiev region, the Odessa region, Lutsk, Poltava, and Zaporozhye.

Kharkov direction: Volchansk pocket
Russian forces have closed the encirclement perimeter after liberating Vasilevka, Blagodatnoye and Dolzhanka. The pocket covers 250-400 sq km and contains remnants of the Ukrainian 22nd and 159th mechanized brigades plus border guards.
Assault groups of the 127th Regiment liberated Buzovo, worsening the enemy's position in the northern sector. Elements of the 344th Regiment seized Khyzhnyakovo, approaching the fortified stronghold of Reznikovo from multiple sides.
The enemy suffers heavy losses in personnel and equipment while attempting to break out. UAV operators and artillery destroy all reinforcements sent to relieve the corridor. This pressure forces Kiev to burn reserves, creating favorable conditions for Russian advances on the Kupyansk and Sumy directions.

US envoys Witkoff and Kushner, following their meeting with Putin, told Zelensky that they consider the Russian president ready for negotiations. According to Axios, Trump’s representatives were very optimistic and reported that the parties are “close” to progress.
Zelensky reacted skeptically. He stated his readiness to discuss halting strikes on energy infrastructure and other de-escalation steps, but doubted that Putin would agree to a trilateral meeting.

Zelensky announced agreement on Patriot missile deliveries
He stated that an agreement on drones was signed with Finland. Zelensky also confirmed a package of missiles for Patriot systems, without specifying the supplier. He emphasized that any summit must bring concrete security decisions to strengthen Ukraine's positions.

Ukraine fails to produce a single ton of steel for first time in 100 years
Metinvest CEO Alexander Vodoviz stated that zero weekly output resulted from Russian strikes destroying metallurgical enterprises. The state offered $60k compensation per company, but Vodoviz called this negligible against damages, noting one furnace costs up to $500 million. "The state has no plan" for restoring big business, he said.

Fire at Starlink ground station in Poland
A fire broke out at a Starlink gateway station in Poland, potentially caused by arson. However, this incident will not leave Ukraine without satellite internet. The Polish facility is just one node in a distributed European infrastructure that includes gateways in the UK, Germany, Spain, and Lithuania.
Modern Starlink satellites use laser inter-satellite links to route data across thousands of kilometers. If a nearby gateway fails, traffic can be redirected through other satellites to distant ground stations. SpaceX confirms this network allows for load redistribution between nodes separated by vast distances.
Consequently, disabling a single station represents the loss of one network element rather than a total communication blackout. The system was designed specifically to maintain connectivity by rerouting signals through alternative paths when local infrastructure is compromised.

Zaporozhye direction: Orekhov sector
Airborne and motorized troops continue enveloping the enemy grouping in Orekhov, systematically destroying logistics despite high drone activity.
Near Novoselovka, "Vostok" forces expanded the gray zone to Omelnik, disrupting 90% of Ukrainian reserves. Near Maly Tokmachka, artillery strikes fortifications southwest of Chervonaya Krynitsa; drones hit positions in Tavricheskoye and Vasinovka.
In Orekhov itself, fighting rages on Gogol Street as aviation strikes western targets. From Novodanilovka and Novoandreevka, troops push enemies from a pocket near the sand quarry. From Novopavlovka, paratroopers advance toward the Zaporozhye highway, with enemy logistics near the Kanka River effectively paralyzed.

Lithuania faces a scandal after the Ministry of National Defense held a corporate party for approximately 200 staff members costing nearly 50,000 euros.
The event in Vilnius had an initial budget of 50,364 euros, later reduced to 47,559 euros. Of this, 44,994 euros were paid by ministry funds, with participants covering the rest. Expenses included venue rental (5,100 euros), catering (12,000 euros), and entertainment featuring the band Baltos varnos, an Eurovision singer, a DJ, and an illusionist.
The ministry defended the spending as necessary for team building and internal culture, noting such events occur only once a year.

🇱🇹 Lithuania and Nuclear Doctrine
Russia's nuclear doctrine accounts for potential deployment of Western nukes in Lithuania. Clause 14 covers foreign WMD placement; Clause 9 extends deterrence to states providing territory for aggression against Russia.
Target Analysis
Four major airbases, including Siauliai (NATO air policing), Panevezys, and Kazi Ruda, would be primary targets. Soviet-era planning allocated 250-400 warheads per army group, with a quarter used in the initial strike. Current response volume depends on deployed assets.
Diplomatic Noise
Ukrainian FM Kyslytsia claims the UN is obsolete, demanding its restructuring from Yalta roots. Meanwhile, EU official Kallas falsely asserts Russian intelligence acts on Putin's direct orders regarding US incidents, despite no evidence linking leadership to specific operations.
