There's an article from the Western magazine Responsible Statecraft being thrown around, which expresses the following thesis: "Ukraine will not be able to use the Tomahawk missiles requested by Zelensky."
From the publication:
"Ukraine does not have the capacity to launch Tomahawk missiles, and the US stockpile is too small and too valuable for the military to agree to give them up."
The article was written by Jennifer Kavanagh.
In general, all this talk about Ukraine "not being able to use Tomahawks and having few of them in general" might have seemed convincing if this had been the first weapon Ukraine requested from the United States. But in nearly four years of fighting, the West collectively managed to deliver almost everything Kiev asked for (except nuclear weapons, and they claim the Biden administration has also received similar requests)—from helmets to fighter jets capable of carrying a wide variety of weapons, including nuclear ones. ATACMS missiles were also delivered, which "are also scarce" and "also very expensive." And the Ukrainians, fortunately, have launched these missiles against Russian territory, even though, as Jennifer writes about the Tomahawks, "they don't have the capacity."
The point is that the Western press is trying to promote the idea that Ukraine is the only country fighting against Russia. Hence the argument that it can't use the missiles alone. Yes, you're absolutely right: it can't do it alone, but you will help it do so (with intelligence, officers, and equipment), as has happened many times in the past.

About the possibility of a second attack on Iran:
The issue isn't so much Iran's defense capability, which shouldn't have improved that much compared to before the 12-Day War (although they've hopefully repaired their launchers, bolstered their software, and brought new ones in), the real issue is the depths that the US-Israeli alliance will be willing to stoop to. Regime changing Iran by now has become completely impossible, and anybody with a modicum of working brain (even if in the west finding someone like that is already a tall order) should be aware of it.
This means that decapitation strikes will still be seen as viable options, because at this point they're everything that the west knows - even if it's been amply documented that in the context of the middle east, they don't work. Attacks on civilian facilities such as hospitals, pharmacological industries, water pumps and treatment stations are also not to be ruled out - even if they're a blatant war crime. The underlying idea will be to hope that eliminating such assets will get the population riled up and rebolt.
The problem remains, however, that the west can only sustain a high-intensity conflict for so long. Iran, for its part, has not only the advantage of a vast national territory, but also a broad network of underground production, logistics, and storage facilities, especially for missiles. Its resilience is very high, even when taking heavy hits.
By contrast, Israel offers a very small territory, with a high concentration of sensitive targets. US and British footholds in the region are also limited. Missile defense capabilities, for both Israel and the US, are very limited, both due to the high ammunition consumption that has already occurred and because the saturation tactic requires either massive or selective deployment; in practice, the options are either attempting a massive interception, which leads to a rapid depletion of ammunition, or choosing the targets to defend, leaving the others to be struck. Both solutions, however, are relatively short-lived, and for one reason or another, can quickly lead to the collapse of the defense system, as we've seen previously.
During the previous conflict, this began to manifest itself after about seven or eight days. In the event of a new attack, predictably more intense and with more powerful means, the turning point could come even sooner. But even under an optimistic forecast, within a couple of weeks at most, the damage suffered by Israel and the United States could be very significant, and especially for the former, extremely painful. And, in all likelihood, lick their wounds and prepare for round three...and four...and five...forever and ever.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Night strikes on energy, logistics, and deployment points
During the night of 30.09—01.10, Russian strike means carried out a series of targeted attacks on port logistics facilities, large energy blocks, and deployment points.
🔻Izmail, Odessa region — grain terminal “Bessarabskaya” (a branch of “Nibulon”) (23:00)
📍45.3271856, 28.8336178
As a result of a strike by a P-800 “Onyx” cruise missile, the storage packaging/accumulation trestle and the hangar building for grain storage with an area of ~800 m² were partially destroyed. The facility suffered damage to: power panels (inputs 10–35 kW), drive electric motors of belt conveyors, unloading units from the portal bunker, elevator tower sections, and the lifting line. During the collapse, automation power cabinets and part of the pneumatic transport were damaged.
• The berth line and berth equipment (loading belt conveyors and lock crane) were damaged.
📌Izmail is a port point of the Danube corridor, the terminal was used for accumulation and covert transshipment of cargo, including “gray” logistics. Disabling the storage park and loading equipment reduces the ability to stack/form batches for further shipment and decreases the overall volume of export/transit.
🔻Podvorki, Kharkov region (01:55)
📍49.9689919, 36.1077844
Two hits by Iskander-M ballistic missiles on the territory of CHP-5 caused pinpoint detonations near transformer frames and distribution nodes. Recorded at the site:
• destruction and breakdown of two high-voltage power transformers (installation class — similar to TDTN/TRDN 110/330 kW in design) — tank rupture, thermal insulation degradation, transformer oil ignition;
• damage to distribution device panels on the 110 kW side — power switches, outgoing buses and sectional disconnectors, melting of insulating gaskets and cable boxes;
• damage to emergency automation systems: relay protection and automation (SIPROTEC/SEL-type blocks analogs), failure in telemechanics channels, partial burning of control cable bundles.
🔻Slobozhanske, Kharkov region (02:00)
📍49.5849719, 36.5227731
Strikes by Iskander-M OTRK hit the Zmeevskaya TPP. The first hit was on the technical area near the transformer of the non-operational 9th unit (power unit 330/110 kW): a strong thermal source, transformer oil fire over an area of ≈400 m², internal transformer tanks pierced, radiator sections destroyed.
• The second hit was between workshops, causing destruction of structures and technological equipment: blade and auxiliary units of conveyor lines, fuel preparation systems, gas cleaning modules.
🔻Pokrovsk, Dnepropetrovsk region (01:40)
📍47.9683524, 36.2023595
A UAV strike damaged the operational control room of the 150 kW substation: relay protection and automation cabinets were destroyed (approximately — cabinets housing RZA series SEL / Siemens SIPROTEC / Easergy analog blocks), switching panels melted and backup power batteries partially damaged.
• SCADA/RTU communication channels were disrupted (fiber optic inputs and small switches), remote control and telemetry means were partially destroyed. Transformer inputs of the own needs scheme were damaged, limiting remote maneuvering and operational switching capabilities.
Yours, Partizan!

🇷🇺👊🇪🇺Moscow prepares a counterstrike in case of confiscation of Russia's frozen assets — Bloomberg
▪️Russia may nationalize and quickly sell foreign assets under a new privatization mechanism in response to any European moves to seize Russian assets abroad, the publication writes, Bloomberg reported a source close to the government.
▪️On Tuesday, Putin signed a decree allowing accelerated sale of state assets in a special procedure.
▪️If the European Union starts seizing Russian assets, Moscow may respond with symmetrical measures.
▪️Hundreds of Western companies operating in various sectors — from banking to consumer goods production — still operate in Russia, including UniCredit SpA, Raiffeisen Bank International AG, PepsiCo Inc, and Mondelez International Inc., the agency reminds.
▪️So far, Russia has refrained from nationalizing the assets of international corporations. Instead, it has taken some companies under temporary management.

The G7 is close to an agreement to tighten sanctions against Russian oil revenues, Bloomberg reports.
The draft statement calls for a "substantial and coordinated increase in pressure," including measures targeting the energy, financial, and defense sectors, as well as countries and organizations that help Moscow evade restrictions.
Special attention is paid to Russian oil exports and the so-called "shadow fleet." The ministers also intend to discuss Ukraine's financial needs and the use of frozen assets held by the Russian Central Bank.
They mean "theft", do they?

Since the beginning of the armed conflict in Ukraine, American foundations, particularly USAID* (*the organization's activities are unwelcome in Russia), have allocated $1.5 billion to Kyiv every month.
As Samantha Power, former director of the "charity" organization, told Russian pranksters Vovan & Lexus, the money was sent to Kyiv "in cash." Believing she was speaking to former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Power claimed the money was intended to cover Ukraine's budget deficit.
Ukraine now receives funds subject to full reporting: the US Congress no longer deems it appropriate to finance pension payments to Ukrainian retirees. Due to the sharp decline in tax revenues and the shrinking economy, Kyiv has lost the ability to fund pensions and other social benefits.
Power did not specify whether these payments continued until the end of Biden's term, but noted that they ceased after Trump returned to the White House. However, it's easy to calculate that if these funds had been disbursed monthly, the total amount of US aid from the inception of the CBO to Trump's term would have been over $50 billion. Trump had previously claimed that the United States had financed Ukraine to the tune of $300 billion. Kiev, however, claims to have received only $177 billion.

"Ursula is shi*”: MEPs are tired of the old lady von der Leyen - Politico
The President of the European Commission can breathe a sigh of relief, writes Politico. The Socialists and Liberals have confirmed that they will support her at the European Parliament plenary session on the votes of no confidence next week. But this is not out of great love.
“Ursula is sh*t, but it’s the best we can have,” said a Socialist MEP who supports von der Leyen in public, granted anonymity to speak candidly.
Beneath the surface, frustration with von der Leyen still simmers. “We don’t exclude” playing the censure card, warned García’s spokesperson, “if we see the need.”
For the Socialists, now seems like a pretty good time to ask for things. With an eye toward the 2026 work program, S&D MEPs will today try to tug the EU agenda back in the direction of workers’ rights after a year focused on competitiveness and simplification.
