Сегодня Петербург подвергся массированной атаке беспилотников.
Для меня это удары по сердцу. Петербург – мой родной город, где остаются почти все мои родные, друзья и близкие. Я искренне тревожусь за них, за любимый город, за каждого мирного человека, чья жизнь и безопасность оказались под угрозой.
Но при всей этой боли и тревоге мы должны ясно понимать главное: основной виновник происходящего – Владимир Путин.
Именно он развязал подлую, бессмысленную, кровавую и преступную войну против Украины. Именно он принес войну на украинскую землю, а теперь ее последствия приходят и в российские города.
Украина защищается. Украина имеет право защищаться от агрессии и наносить ответные удары по военным объектам и инфраструктуре, обеспечивающей путинскую военную машину. И она будет продолжать сопротивление, пока продолжается российская агрессия.
Можно и нужно переживать за Петербург, за его жителей, за своих близких. Но нельзя позволять этой тревоге заслонять правду о том, кто начал эту войну и кто несет главную ответственность за ее продолжение.
Не Украина принесла войну в Россию. Это Путин принес войну в Украину – и теперь она возвращается в Россию, в Петербург.
Я хочу, чтобы мой родной Петербург жил в мире. Чтобы его жители не боялись ночных взрывов. Чтобы никто не погибал – ни в Петербурге, ни в Киеве, ни в Харькове, ни в Одессе.
И путь к этому только один: прекращение путинской агрессии, вывод российских войск из Украины и окончание этой преступной войны.
У этой войны есть имя. Кровавая кремлевская чмоль Владимир Путин. Путин не из Петербурга.
Он из КГБ.

🚨 EXTREMELY IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ AND SHARE THIS.
Something extremely important is happening right now on the world stage, and I don’t believe nearly enough people understand just how big this story really is.
Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are pushing European leaders to release billions in frozen Russian assets and place them under American financial control.
But my friends, this is about much more than frozen Russian money. Much more than Ukraine. And much more than what is being reported in the headlines.
We are talking about Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, American investors, oil and gas pipelines, and people inside Donald Trump’s closest circle.
I have been warning about these connections since Trump returned to the White House. And what my sources are telling me is that this did not happen overnight.
I put together a detailed investigation and a chart connecting the people, the money, the reported deals, and the timeline so you can see for yourself how these relationships intersect.
We are witnessing the early stages of something much bigger: a potential effort to bring Russia back into the global financial system, with billions of dollars at stake.
And what I am hearing suggests there is much more to come.
I’m asking every one of you to take a few minutes to read this investigation, study the chart, and SPREAD IT FAR AND WIDE.
Restack it. Share it. Send it to your friends and family. Help get this information outside our echo chambers.
Because understanding what is happening behind closed doors is essential to holding those in power accountable.

This is not complicated!
Russia has roughly 140 million people. Iran has around 90 million. MAGA has around 77 million and falling. It is not America, but a political faction inside it, and one already showing signs of fraying.
Against them stands democratic America, Canada, Britain, Europe, Australia and the wider allied world: well over a billion people, commanding vastly greater wealth, technology, capital, military capability, universities, institutions and industrial capacity.
Yet somehow the larger side has allowed itself to look frightened.
Russia is dangerous, certainly. But much of its best military capacity has already been consumed in Ukraine. Iran can cause enormous disruption, but it is hardly an economic or technological superpower.
And then there is MAGA: the odd member of this axis because it operates inside the United States.
Its political base has been sold a story of national revival by a remarkably small collection of billionaires and ideologues who would quite like lower taxes, weaker regulation and fewer constraints on their power, even if dismantling those constraints weakens the Western system that made their fortunes possible.
MAGA should also understand exactly what it is choosing to become. Governments change. Presidents leave office. Political movements fracture. The institutions they attack do not simply vanish with them.
There will be an ordinary morning after Trump. Courts will still open. Elections will still be held. European regulators will still regulate. Allied governments will still choose where to buy weapons, technology and energy. Contracts will still be written. Laws will still apply. And countries with long institutional memories will remember very clearly who threatened them, who helped them and who tried to tear the system apart.
That is the part MAGA seems to misunderstand. It is behaving as though this moment is permanent. It is not.
The democratic world is larger than Trump, larger than MAGA and considerably older than both. Its institutions were built precisely so that one faction, one government or one collection of billionaires cannot simply bulldoze the rules and expect everyone else to shrug forever.
That is the real picture. Disruption is not strength. And temporary power is not permanent power.
The extraordinary achievement of this axis has been convincing more than a billion people on the stronger side to behave as though a much smaller coalition holds all the cards.
It does not.
Perhaps it is time the democratic world remembered who is actually outnumbered.
And perhaps MAGA should remember that history continues after the people who thought they owned it are gone.

From Allies to Arm's Length: Why Canada's Black Hawk Deal is Now Heading for Cancellation -
The Canadian government has quietly suspended its plan to buy 16 U.S.-made UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters for its special forces, and a total cancellation now seems imminent.
Driven by escalating trade war tariffs and political bullying from the Trump administration, Ottawa is now shifting its focus toward domestic defence manufacturing and alternative international partnerships.
And behind the scenes, American officials have been scrambling to salvage the deal, REPEATEDLY attempting to contact Canadian procurement leaders to push the contract through.
However, Canada has essentially gone completely quiet, leaving Washington met with a wall of administrative radio silence.
There is now a growing sense of desperation on the American side, as defense giants try feverishly too pressure Canada to sign.
Yet, Ottawa refuses to budge.
For decades, Canada viewed the U.S. as its most trusted continental ally.
But now, many federal officials feel Washington has turned its back on that alliance through economic coercion and threats to Canadian sovereignty.
Given this aggressive and almost demented behavior, Ottawa views America's expectation that Canada should blindly hand over billions of dollars as pure gall.
Instead of capitulating, Canada is now actively evaluating OTHER aerospace options, including European alternatives like the Airbus H145M or Leonardo’s AW149, which can be outfitted with domestic supply chains.
Because of Washington's heavy-handed tactics, the U.S. is highly likely to take a massive financial and diplomatic loss as Canada permanently walks away.

BREAKING: GLOVES OFF! President Zelenskyy RIPS into Trump's monstrous diesel deal with Putin as a "betrayal" and warns that he is not on "the right side of history."
And he was just getting warmed up...
"It appears that President Trump, to quote a phrase that we would use over here, has thrown you under the bus," Piers Morgan said to the Ukrainian President during an interview. "He's done this diesel deal with Vladimir Putin, having just announced renewed sanctions, which people find inexplicable. And now you have a situation where President Trump announced an energy ceasefire, and within hours Vladimir Putin launches an absolute bombardment of Ukraine, aimed directly at your energy."
"Do you feel betrayed by what has been happening?" Morgan asked.
"Really, yes. Really, between us," said Zelenskyy. "But it's a little bit more complicated than just my emotions or my feelings. Our country has to survive."
Trump recently blindsided Ukraine, our European allies, and the American people who oppose Russia's brutal invasion by announcing a "deal" to let Putin flood the global markets with millions of barrels of diesel. He has tried to spin it as a win, but it's nothing more than cowardly capitulation, a desperate attempt to wrestle down out-of-control gas prices ahead of the midterm elections. Those gas prices, ironically and tragically enough, are a direct result of his disastrous, pointless Iran War. Trump created this problem, then stabbed an ally in the back to "fix" it. Now, the Kremlin will get a massive influx of new cash to help fund their war machine and slaughter more innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children.
"When you found out that President Trump had done this deal with Putin, twenty-one days after new sanctions, what was your immediate response to that?" asked Morgan.
"It's a pity that we are losing a strong partner," Zelenskyy said bluntly. "So this is my opinion."
"You think you're losing America?" asked Morgan.
"Yeah. But not because of us. We can't be weak, otherwise we can't survive," said Zelenskyy. "We are not selling our country. Look, guys, it's not about business for us. It's just our life. And this is our country, it's our body. So our home, our children. And this is very important for us."
"That's why it's painful when President Trump chooses one side, not our side," he continued. "But we are okay that he's in the middle. But if you're in the middle, you have to stay in the middle. Not on the wrong side. I think his advisors are wrong. I don't know who is pushing him not to the right side. This is not the right side of history."
Notice how masterfully Zelenskyy phrased his attack. He condemned Trump's actions as a betrayal, shaming him, but then gave the egomaniacal American President a way out by suggesting that his advisors are to blame and that he can still reverse course.
The reality, of course, is that this "deal" is fully Trump's responsibility because he's the one sitting behind the Resolute Desk. This betrayal is a result of his incompetence, his self-interested desire to lower gas prices at any cost, and the fact that he is a creature pathologically incapable of loyalty. History will judge him accordingly.
Please ❤️ and share if you think that history will vilify Trump and Putin!
Just WOW. ❤️
🇮🇹🇺🇦 WOW! WHAT A SPEECH! WHAT POWERFUL WORDS FROM ITALIAN PRIME MINISTER GIORGIA MELONI!
Here is the full five-minute excerpt of her speech devoted to Ukraine and Donald Trump.
“Russia has launched a new autumn campaign against Ukraine.
Unable to advance on the battlefield, Moscow has increasingly turned its attacks against civilians: power plants, residential buildings, hospitals, and even buses carrying people to work, as in the horrific massacre in Kramatorsk.
This is a strategy through which Russia seeks to subjugate Ukraine with terror, cold, and darkness, simply because it has failed to conquer it on the battlefield.
The facts contradict Kremlin propaganda and those who spread it here.
Since the beginning of the year, Russia has captured very little territory, and in September it lost much of what it had previously seized.
This halt did not happen by chance. It was achieved through Ukraine’s courage and Western support, including that of Italy.
This resistance is the only effective instrument for bringing Russia to the negotiating table.
I respect and understand the passionate debate on this issue, including within this chamber, because nobody here wants war.
We all want peace.
The difference lies in how we intend to achieve it.
As I see it, supporting Ukraine is not an alternative to peace. It is what makes peace possible.
Because if an aggressor expects its opponent to surrender, why would it negotiate?
Surrender is not peace. It is conquest.
If Ukraine stopped defending itself tomorrow, as many suggest, we would not have peace.
We would be discussing the occupation of a European nation and the return of Soviet imperialism.
Personally, I do not miss those times. I do not miss Russian tanks crushing uprisings in Prague and Budapest.
I do not miss the Berlin Wall.
And nobody will ever convince me that the surrender of those defending their freedom can be called ‘peace.’
The peace we want, and the peace we are working toward, even at the cost of concessions, is a just peace, because only a just peace can endure.
Only a just peace can protect Europe and our interests.
That is why our government's position remains unchanged: support for Ukraine, with particular attention to civilians, pressure on Moscow, and Euro-Atlantic unity remain the pillars of our actions.
In this context, we must address Donald Trump's diesel agreement with Russia.
This is a decision I consider extremely risky.
Of course, we all recognize the need to contain fuel prices, which place a heavy burden on families, including Italian families.
But we must understand that rising prices are primarily linked to the war in Iran, not Ukraine.
Legitimizing Moscow, whose bombs continue to fall on Ukrainian cities, providing new revenues to finance the war, and weakening sanctions are all factors we cannot ignore.
And they contradict everything Western nations, including the United States, have done to force Putin to the negotiating table.
An energy ceasefire is a different matter, one that Italy supports, and we are grateful to President Zelenskyy for Ukraine's immediate willingness to agree to it.
Now we expect Russia to stop attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
Finally, at such a difficult moment, when so many variables are beyond our control, there is at least one thing that depends on us:
We must ensure that Europe does not simply stand by and watch, because the terms of peace will affect our continent and our security.”
— Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy

According to CNN, Zelensky’s workday begins between 3 and 4 in the morning, when the first battlefield reports arrive.
He drinks strong black coffee, no sugar, to push through the early hours.
Even under constant pressure, he has not lost his sense of humor and still finds brief moments to reset.
The years of war, strain, and emotional weight are visible on him. No one carries that kind of burden without it showing.
And yet he remains standing.
Respect to Volodymyr Zelensky.

🇺🇦/🇷🇺/🇺🇸 Je résume le génie du cretin de la Maison Blanche :
- Il retire les sanctions contre le pétrole russe pour toucher l’équivalent de 3 jours de consommation aux USA.
- Ça envoie un signal de normalisation à la Russie, et lui permet de toucher de l’argent pour financer sa guerre.
- Les européens et la délégation ukrainienne aux USA au même moment passent pour des idiots en découvrant l’annonce.
- Trump appelle Zelensky à quitter son poste de Président, l’insulte, demande à l’Ukraine d’arrêter d’attaquer le nerf de la guerre russe.
- Zelensky accepte, à condition que la Russie arrête elle aussi les attaques contre l’infrastructure énergétique.
- On apprend dans la presse que Trump menace de couper les renseignements à l’Ukraine, mais aussi de mettre un terme au programme PURL qui permet aux europeens d’acheter des armes américaines pour l’Ukraine.
- Sans consulter ni Moscou ni Kyiv, Trump annonce une pseudo trêve énergétique entre les deux belligérants.
- Moscou découvre l’annonce.
- Kyiv découvre l’annonce.
- Zelensky s’engage à accepter une trêve si la Russie elle aussi s’y engage.
- Moins de 2h plus tard, la Russie attaque une centrale énergétique à Kharkiv.
Trump est vraiment le plus grand guignol et lâche de la politique internationale.
Une honte pour les États-Unis.
Un incapable qui maquille ses échecs aux dépens de ceux qui résistent.
Une ordure qui se couche devant les pires régimes.
Une humiliation quotidienne pour les pays occidentaux.
J’espère qu’il prendra la plus grosse raclée possible aux élections de mi-mandat.
I thought France were working on an alternative!
Elon Musk, 10 hours ago: "Zelensky has gone too far", replying on Twitter to a Trump administration post calling on Ukraine to stop striking Russian oil refineries.
This is a message to Ukrainians: not only will we publicly blame you if you continue striking Russian refineries, not only will we try to change how the world perceives you as victims and gradually turn you into the aggressors, not only will we use these lies to lift all sanctions imposed on Russia and reopen trade with them (including military trade), but we will also make sure your people die and that you have no way to defend yourselves.
This message is meant to put pressure on the Ukrainian military and government: replace Zelenskyy, or you will die because we will take away your Starlink access. Fedorov, the former Minister of Defence, who managed to convince Musk to shut down Starlink for the Russians, called for the same thing during that strange period when he seemed to have lost his mind. I am convinced he hadn't lost his mind at all, but was acting out of a belief that Trump, Musk & Co. would back him as Ukraine's next president.
Starlink is vital to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukraine's technological edge, particularly evident in its deployment of drones on the battlefield, would be completely crippled without Starlink. Ukraine's dependence on this communications system is enormous. Shutting it down would have a far greater impact on the front lines in the short and medium term than cutting off all financial and intelligence assistance from every single ally combined.
Right now, Ukraine, backed by the European Union, is holding its ground against Russia, North Korea, partly China (partly, because a great deal also comes from China to Ukraine), and partly America.
What the Trump administration and Elon Musk are doing is called **aiding the perpetrator**. If we were to examine this objectively through the lens of international law, we would find precedents in which similar actions (commercial or political) led to those involved being held accountable and convicted by the International Criminal Court.
I have no expectation that international law will be upheld in today's geopolitical climate. However, we have reached a point where it can be argued that these individuals are on the verge of becoming (or may already be) directly or indirectly responsible, through their support, assistance, and encouragement of the aggressor, for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
In just the past four days, Russia has killed at least 10 children in three separate attacks (Pryluky, Kramatorsk, and Zaporizhzhia), with the total death toll from these three attacks alone reaching 75 as of the time I am writing this.
Under the Rome Statute, these attacks fall into the category of war crimes when considered individually, and crimes against humanity when considered collectively.
These attacks against civilians will only increase, just as past statistics have shown they have done every single time Putin, Russia, and Trump have coordinated their actions.
I am therefore putting this on record: this new coordination will lead to more civilians being killed in the near future, which brings me to the clear conclusion that the Trump administration and its associates bear at least partial responsibility for these crimes.
Every world leader, every head of state, whether an ally of the United States or not, must demand accountability for these actions.
Ukraine must receive even stronger support from the other members of the Ramstein Group and the Coalition of the Willing.
And for us — Europe in general and Romania in particular — Ukraine's victory must become a top strategic priority.

Claude Malhuret Was Right about Trump.
On Friday, at Trump's direction, the US Treasury issued a license waving Russian diesel back onto the world market, days after Russia killed dozens of Ukrainians, many of them children. It seems a good moment to revisit the speech in which a French senator told us exactly who these people were.
Claude Malhuret took the floor of the Luxembourg Palace and delivered what may be the most surgical dismantling of the Trump administration ever spoken in a legislative chamber. There were no diplomatic niceties, only a point-by-point indictment from an ally who had clearly had enough.
"A year ago, here in France, I compared Trump's presidency to Nero's Court. I was wrong. It's the Court of Miracles. An anti-vaxxer, former heroin addict as Minister of Health," he began, meaning RFK Jr.
Then came the rest of the cabinet: "A climate-skeptic Minister of Economy. An alcoholic TV host, Minister of the Armed Forces. An old Qatar agent, Minister of Justice. A groupie of Putin, Minister of National Security." That would be Scott Bessent, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi and Tulsi Gabbard.
"A Turkish proverb says: when a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king, it is the palace that becomes a circus."
The circus has been busy. Trump came off a phone call with Putin and announced on Truth Social that Russia would send millions of tons of diesel to the world market, promising in capital letters that prices "will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST!"
Bessent's Treasury promptly made it legal, barely a month after Trump signed a sweeping Russia sanctions law, as NPR points out.
The motive is not hard to find. Diesel prices in America have doubled since the war with Iran began in February and the midterms are weeks away, so the man who set the fuel market on fire is now buying the extinguisher from Vladimir Putin and sending the bill to Ukraine.
According to Axios, Kyiv was blindsided while Witkoff and Kushner were sitting with Ukrainian officials to discuss ending the war, and an analyst told the outlet the volumes are too small to fix the shortage anyway.
So Putin gets revenue and respectability, Americans may or may not get cheaper diesel, and Ukrainians get more missiles. Zelensky called it weakness from partners who are supposed to be strong, which is the polite version. Malhuret gave us the impolite one long ago, and he has been proved right down to the last clown.
Watch the speech and share it loudly.

Okay, this is now getting really bizarre.
Even assuming Ukraine did violate some kind of agreement not to disclose the transfer of North Korean POWs to the South (which is weird in itself, given that the media, including in the South Korea, had been openly discussing this for months and had seen Kim’s soldiers’ faces in photographs and videos) what exactly explains this increasingly disproportionate response?
Apologize -- no, your official apology is not the right kind of apology -- what kind was it supposed to be, and why exactly? -- Oh, really? Then we’ll recall our ambassador.
I have absolutely no intention of defending Zelensky or Ukrainian diplomacy, and I can perfectly well believe that they may have done something stupid or made a mistake.
But when such a minor incident is so relentlessly inflated into a grand scandal of the age, with this kind of demonstrative dramatic hand-wringing, it does not exactly inspire confidence in the good faith of the “offended party.”
This makes it increasingly difficult to avoid the impression that the South Korean leadership is blowing this scandal wildly out of proportion for domestic political reasons and perhaps to score extra points with Kim.
No, seriously: Russia is directly training the North Korean military in the most advanced practices of the new era of warfare in Ukraine.
It is pouring enormous amounts of money into developing the North Korean regime’s military-industrial complex, and it is directly allowing North Korea to test its missiles and artillery on the battlefield against Ukraine.
And official Seoul is busy making theatrical gestures against Kyiv while allowing scarce fuel to be supplied to Russia through sanctioned tankers?
Doesn’t anyone else get the impression that somebody here is very clearly focusing on the wrong thing? In today's world, you really want to make Ukraine the bad guy in all this?
