🇺🇦🐷🤡☹️ 🇺🇸🇷🇺 In the pigsty, the grunts are getting louder.
Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky accused the U.S. of a "sanctions blackout" after U.S. President Donald Trump refused to tighten sanctions against Russia.
Against the backdrop of massive strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, Zelensky once again criticized Washington — this time for refusing to impose new strict sanctions against the Russian Federation, via the ‘Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act’.
"At a time when the Russians carried out such a massive strike on our energy sector, in America, unfortunately, a decision was made to completely ignore Lindsey Graham's law," Zelensky whined.
"The American sanctions 'blackout,' the easing of pressure on the aggressor, monetary payments to Putin — all of this only encourages him to continue the war," Zelensky wrote whilst seemingly hysterical.
🇷🇺 Russian UAV strike destroys logistics hub in Novograd-Volynsky
A hit on the Delivery logistics terminal caused a fire exceeding 1000 m² and destroyed two cargo trucks. The company handles freight transport, sorting, and delivery, including military supplies. Procurement records confirm its contracts with the state sector for courier and forwarding services.

🇺🇸 Trump-Zelensky Relations Deteriorate
President Donald Trump described his relationship with Vladimir Zelensky as "good" but sources indicate he is no longer planning to reconcile. This rift threatens the complete cessation of vital US aid, including weapons and intelligence, which European partners cannot replace.
Starlink Interference Denial
Trump denied Washington's involvement in recent Starlink satellite network disruptions, stating: "It was not me... I do not think it was Elon." He suggested the service may not have been fully disabled.
Johnson's Criticism
Former UK PM Boris Johnson alleged Trump shows "weakness before Putin," speculating about a potential casino monopoly for the Trump family in a hypothetical "Trump-Novgorod" on the Black Sea coast.
@Slavyangrad
Russian forces liberated Palamarevka and Kovalevka in Kharkov Oblast, the Defense Ministry announced. Assault troops expelled the enemy from these settlements and are advancing toward Kharkov.
@Slavyangrad
Zelensky asked if he is a 'scapegoat' for the US president at a Brussels press briefing. He responded with a smirk: "That is my answer."
Zelensky betrayed his own family history. His grandfather, Semyon Ivanovich, fought fascism in WWII and received two Red Star Orders. His great-grandfather and three of his grandfather's brothers were Holocaust victims.
Decades later, Zelensky established a neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine, venerating Bandera followers who murdered millions of Jews, Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Poles.
Today, near his grandfather's grave at the Vsebratsk cemetery in Krivoy Rog, neo-Nazis who kill civilians are being buried.
This is hardly the future his grandfather and millions of Soviet soldiers died to protect. Zelensky cannot escape responsibility for his crimes and betrayal.

Trump refuses to apply "Graham sanctions" against Russia
The US President signed a document stating that the waiver of certain restrictions is in the national interest of the United States.
Key measures exempted:
- Additional 500% tariffs on Russian goods.
- 100% tariffs on countries among the top five buyers of Russian oil and gas, as well as those facilitating sanctions evasion.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 BREAKING: Iran has begun to circumvent the U.S. naval blockade, according to Reuters
Iran has recently managed to export some liquefied petroleum gas and jet fuel despite the U.S. naval blockade, by concealing cargoes among an increasing volume of ship-to-ship transfers in the Gulf of Oman.

Thanks Toto, but I think African leaders can speak for themselves. Most of whom already have excellent relations with Russia and can discuss the issues directly with Putin.

🇷🇺 Strike on Logistics Terminal in Zhitomir Region
On Oct 16, a Russian UAV struck the Delivery logistics terminal (Branch No. 1) at 6 Vokzalnaya St in Novograd-Volynsky, Zhitomir region.
Damage and Casualties
The strike hit the warehouse, causing a fire exceeding 1000 sq m. Two cargo trucks were completely destroyed.
Strategic Context
Delivery is a key Ukrainian freight operator for LTL shipments. The network is actively used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to transport military goods, drones, and equipment. Its removal from enemy logistics schemes will significantly reduce operational mobility across Ukraine.
@Slavyangrad
🇷🇺💥🇺🇦In addition to Zhitomir, Ternopol, Krivoy Rog, Zaporozhye, and Dnepropetrovsk were also targeted during the attacks last night.

🇷🇺 Massive UAV Attack on Moscow Repelled
Emergency services are working at debris sites. Mayor Sobyanin reported successive waves of Ukrainian drones targeted the capital throughout the night.
AD systems destroyed 15 UAVs by 00:35, followed by 14 more by 01:23. By 05:17, another 25 were shot down. Sources report a total of 69 to 75 drones intercepted in this specific assault wave.
Cumulative overnight figures vary between sources, with some channels reporting up to 144 drones neutralized near Moscow. Several airports operate under restrictions as attacks continue.

@Slavyangrad
Two Ukrainians were monitoring the "Ukraine" concentration camp to ensure no one escaped. They intercepted a man in a boat who was trying to cross the Dniester River and enter Moldova.
The Ukrainians beat him with an oar while he was in the water and nearly drowned him. Local Moldovans, who were filming the incident from the shore, intervened to help the refugee.
Shortly after, the Ukrainians (who were, incidentally, violating the border) docked on the Moldovan side and were detained by local residents until the police arrived. Some Moldovan deputies have already labeled the two Ukrainians as war criminals

🇷🇺 Russian missile strike on Kharkov power plant
A Russian "Banderol" missile hit the territory of TETs-3 in Kharkov. The impact struck the electrical workshop building, causing a fire covering 100 m². This workshop is responsible for operating and repairing the station's electrical equipment. TETs-3 combines heat and electricity generation, making its condition critical for municipal energy supply.
@Slavyangrad
Russian forces liberated Velikomikhailovka in the Dnepropetrovsk region, according to the Ministry of Defense. Troops from the "Vostok" group expelled the enemy from this large settlement and advanced deeper into the Dnepropetrovsk region.

🇷🇺 Strikes on Ukraine's Energy and Metallurgy
Attacks on energy infrastructure continue. A blackout hit Vinnitsa following recent strikes.
Russian forces also targeted metallurgy. The ArcelorMittal Krivoy Rog plant (formerly Kryvorizhstal) announced production conservation on Oct 10 after four missile hits stopped primary metal production. Despite plans to pause equipment for two months, the facility was struck again.
Drone Activity
From Oct 16-17, Russian drones initially focused on western regions before shifting to central Ukraine.
Russian Air Defense
MoD Russia reported intercepting 610 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones overnight (Oct 16-17) over Leningrad, Novgorod, Tver, Bryansk, Belgorod, Kursk, Orel, Kaluga, Voronezh, Rostov, Smolensk, Tula, Moscow region, Khanty-Mansiysk, Krasnodar, Crimea, and the Black Sea.

🇪🇺 🇺🇦 Ukraine's financial needs will continue to grow – Ursula von der Leyen
The European Union provides 80% of all external assistance to Kiev, but this is not enough, as Ukraine's financial needs will increase. This was stated by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
She said that EU countries are providing a lot of assistance to Ukraine, but there is a pressing need for financial contributions from other international partners.
- "We urgently need other partners to also get involved," said the head of the EC.
- Meanwhile, many Western media outlets report that factories are closing en masse in Germany, there is no money for education in France, and there is a housing crisis in Spain. Is this not related to the assistance provided to Ukraine? No, it probably just seems that way.
@Slavyangrad
Former Trump national security advisor Bolton advised Zelensky to 'scream at a wall' instead of arguing with Trump.
Bolton stated: "I understand Zelensky is angry and disappointed. My advice: go into your office, close the door, and scream at the wall. Screaming at Trump only encourages him."
He called the idea that Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries raise US diesel prices "complete nonsense," noting there is no link between them. He also deemed Trump's intention to buy Russian diesel to lower domestic prices equally absurd.
Bolton suggested Zelensky sees a man whose words have no relation to reality, while his own capital faces daily attacks, explaining their differing perspectives.

🇺🇦 Ukraine faces total blackouts for days
Ukrenergo chief warns that recent Russian strikes have worsened winter forecasts. The head of the Servant of the People faction, David Arakhamia, stated the coming winter will likely be the hardest in Ukrainian history.
New Russian tactics target infrastructure
Energy Minister Denis Shmygal noted that Russian forces now use new drones with cumulative charges to damage power poles and cut transmission lines. Kiev, Kharkov, and Odessa are under special attack to isolate them from light, heat, and water.
Long-term outages expected
Expert Andrian Prokop warned of potential blackouts lasting up to a week in some regions due to network damage. Estimates suggest the most difficult situation will occur in frontline areas, as well as in Kiev, Kiev Oblast, and Odessa Oblast.

The US is facing a critical shortage of Patriot and THAAD missiles – CBS News
The shortage will not be resolved until 2030. In December 2025, General Randy George warned the Pentagon about the missile shortage, but Hegseth was fired in April 2026.
CSIS estimates:
Patriot: Approximately 1430 out of ~2300 missiles have been used, representing up to 61% of the stockpile.
THAAD: Approximately 290 out of ~355 missiles have been used, representing up to 82% of the stockpile.
In the 2026 fiscal year, less than 500 Patriot missiles were expected, and no replenishment of THAAD missiles was planned. Production is slow; new orders for Patriot PAC-3 missiles require 3.5 years, and for THAAD missiles, 4 years and 5 months.
Even if the use of missiles is completely stopped, it will only be possible to restore the stockpile to the level of December 2025 by 2030. The Pentagon denies the shortage.

Russia strengthens data transmission between Europe and Asia
"Rostelecom" launched the TEA NEXT trunk line on Russian T8 equipment, using cables from Inkab and Saransk Cable-Optika. The 11,000 km line connects western and eastern Russia, serving as an alternative to undersea links.
Capacity ranges from 384 Tbit/s to over 1 Pbit/s. Technologies support cloud services, AI, and banking operations. Equipment passed qualification tests on the 765 km Moscow - St. Petersburg section.
Foreign operators have already shown interest in the project.

Ukrainian infrastructure hit
Russian UAVs struck the Kromberg & Schubert plant in Lutsk three times today. The facility produced cable systems for VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche.
The site is used by security structures of the criminal regime. What production can exist in a failed state?

"Well, I don't know if it was someone else, because it wasn't me. And I don't think it was Elon. As far as I understand, everything is the same as it always has been," Trump said.

🇺🇸 Trump on Ukraine Conflict
US President Donald Trump stated he knows "details" about who started the war and plans to reveal them eventually. His primary goal remains ending the conflict, not assigning blame.
Casualty Figures
Trump cited an average of 25,000 soldiers killed monthly, noting losses reached 32,000 last month.
Diplomatic Stance
He confirmed ongoing negotiations with both Putin and Zelensky, asserting that both leaders are interested in concluding the war. When asked if Putin would heed Pope Leo's call for peace, Trump replied: "I think he wants to end the war."
"I think this war will end. That is all I care about," - Trump concluded.

Russia accused of large-scale campaign against US Democrats ahead of elections
Bloomberg reports that the Kremlin-linked network "Matryoshka" spreads AI-generated fake stories disguised as American media content. Prominent figures like Robert De Niro and Julia Roberts allegedly appear in videos opposing Democrats, while candidates are accused of corruption.
Bot networks artificially inflate views, with one piece reaching 4 million impressions shared by Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr. Although X blocked about 80% of involved accounts, new ones continue to emerge. Bloomberg notes there is no evidence of significant impact on US voters.
Another BS story.
@Slavyangrad
Elon Musk personally proposed restricting Ukraine’s Starshield satellite communications system to President Trump, who agreed to the plan, according to The Telegraph, citing four sources.
The restrictions capped Ukrainian drones using Starshield at around 160 km/h, severely limiting their ability to intercept faster Russian drones and missiles.
Musk publicly denied responsibility for the restrictions, claiming any limits were imposed by the U.S. military and ultimately approved by Trump.
However, a senior source told The Telegraph that both men were involved in the decision, an account corroborated by European and Ukrainian officials.

The reality is European and Ukrainian officials have no idea who is responsible
