🇺🇦🏃➡️ Every 2 minutes a person flees from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a new record for desertion has been set
- In October, a record for desertion in the Armed Forces of Ukraine was set, with 21,602 people fleeing, reports former MP and commander of the Ukrainian UAV company Igor Lutsenko.
- "Every two minutes a person flees from our army. These are only official figures. In reality, many cases of unauthorized departure or desertion are not registered. This is the number one problem of the army. A retreating army is still an army capable of winning. A disintegrating army, which loses more and more people month by month due to desertion and fleeing from units, is the real danger to Ukraine's existence," he writes.

In Pokrovsk, the encirclement in Mirnograd currently exceeds the total area of Bakhmut — 44 sq. km versus 42. Overall, it would no longer be a mistake to characterize the situation of the trapped remnants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there as hopeless. It is impossible to break out independently, and no forces will be suitable for the deblocking. The whole question for now is only how many Ukrainian troops remain in Mirnograd.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Guliaipole direction: liberation of Uspenovka and advancement of Russian forces deep into enemy defenses
🔻 In the Rybnoe area, Russian units, operating in small assault groups, advanced forward, securing positions in frontline groves and on the approaches to the eastern outskirts of the settlement. The enemy is resisting but is losing stability under artillery and drone fire.
🔻 As a result of systematic pressure on the enemy's defensive positions, Russian Armed Forces units entered the settlement of Sladkoe, where active combat is ongoing.
🔻 The main success of the day was the liberation of the settlement of Uspenovka. Russian troops took the village after a series of assault actions, pushing out the enemy and destroying their strongpoints. Holding Uspenovka opens opportunities for advancement westward and further pressure on the enemy's defensive line.

‼️🇪🇺🇺🇦 The European Commission is looking for alternatives to seizing Russian assets to finance Ukraine — Euractiv
▪️After Belgium refused to steal frozen Russian assets, the European Union began looking for alternative ways to finance Ukraine.
▪️The European Commission is considering covering Ukraine's funding deficit through EU common debt and bilateral grants from member countries.
▪️These proposals will be outlined in a document to be sent to EU states in the coming weeks.
➖"Unlike Russian money, with debt at least it is clear how much, for how long, and who is responsible," emphasized Belgian Prime Minister De Wever.
▪️Recall that according to the IMF, Ukraine's budget deficit for 2026–2027 is about $65 billion.

🇺🇦🏳️In the encircled Pokrovsk, two more militants surrendered and were taken prisoner
- Their command abandoned them; due to the encirclement, supply of provisions and ammunition was not possible even with drone assistance.
- The militants went hungry for 4-7 days, eating whatever they could find in basements.
- The number of wounded in the city increases daily, help is impossible — there are no medicines.
- "There are wounded and dead everywhere. Nowhere to go. Seven days without food. No water or ammo. We hid wherever we could — in basements, dugouts. Birds are flying overhead. Legs hurt, nowhere to go," one of them said.
- "We were told: 'Stay put, report, everything will be fine. We will get you out.' No one did anything. Resistance is already useless. Just lying down in the damp ground because you were abandoned — not a great prospect. The only way is to surrender," said the second.

🇳🇴🤡"The police and defense forces are modernizing border control on the border with Russia": Norway will spend over 16 million euros on modernizing the border with Russia.
"Norway has received about 191 million kroner [16.4 million euros] from the EU to modernize the surveillance system on the border with Russia under the BMVI fund. The funds are allocated for the installation of new towers, motion detection sensors, video surveillance, and the use of drones in certain areas. The work is being carried out jointly by the police and armed forces, starting from the former border checkpoint Skafthullet.
An interagency group has been created to manage the project. The modernization will allow testing of new technologies, strengthen control and security on the EU's external border, and also enhance cooperation between the police and defense in the current situation in Europe."

▪️Experts are sounding the alarm — due to massive shelling in large cities, heating may disappear. They advise to start negotiating now and look for places with autonomous heating with friends or relatives — in villages, residential complexes, or private houses.
▪️It is also important that there is a person in each house who will drain the water from the system if an accident occurs — otherwise the frost will burst the pipes.

PARAMOUNT HAS CREATED A BLACKLIST OF STARS DEEMED HOSTILE TO A CERTAIN STATE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
According to an article published by Variety, Paramount Pictures, under its new boss David Ellison, has compiled a blacklist of talent deemed "openly anti-Semitic," "xenophobic," or "homophobic." Among the actors involved are names such as Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo, who may be rejected by the studio in the near future.
This decision comes amid tensions surrounding the war in the middle east: last September, Paramount became the first major Hollywood studio to publicly reject a letter calling for a cultural boycott of film institutions belonging to a certain state in the middle east, accused of "genocide and apartheid" against the natives of the area. The widely publicized letter was signed by hundreds of directors and actors, including Bardem, Stone, Phoenix, Ruffalo, Olivia Colman, Tilda Swinton, and Ava DuVernay.
Variety reports that David Ellison's initiative also aims to redefine Paramount's profile, focusing on "America-centric" content that is potentially MAGA-friendly. This orientation could influence the selection of talent hired, with a preference for those aligned with the studio's new vision.

🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺The enemy continues a bloody “counteroffensive near Kupyansk, trying to break the encirclement ring
- Following Zelensky's orders, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been making a series of attempts for three days to break through to Kupyansk and the Oskol River in Kharkiv region to unblock their surrounded units.
- The enemy has lost a lot of equipment and now throws infantry to slaughter, which constantly pushes non-stop from the south and west. Fighters of the 68th division and the 27th brigade of the "West" troop group repel wave after wave.
- In the area of Kupyansk city, assault units of the 6th army continue to destroy the encircled enemy group, the Ministry of Defense reported this afternoon.

Most Ukrainian sources expect that Pokrovsk will be fully taken by the Russian army within the next 48-72 hours. Meanwhile, stabilization measures are underway in the city, and the northern and northwestern outskirts are being cleared. Most of the remaining Ukrainian Armed Forces units seem to have retreated to Hrishino. From there, if some incoming information from the Ukrainian side is to be believed, there will be a renewed attempt to push into the city in order to oust the Russian Federation and at least temporarily delay the city's capture.

🇷🇺⚡️🇪🇺Russia is prepared to give a harsh response if the European Union decides to confiscate Russian assets. — Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko in an interview with Izvestia.
"Brussels and other European capitals, which are particularly ardent supporters of the idea of effectively confiscating Russian funds, can rest assured that Russia has sufficient capabilities for an appropriate political and economic response. The EU will feel our response," the diplomat emphasized.
Grushko noted that any actions to change the status of Russian assets without Moscow's consent would be considered "banal theft" and would lead to a collapse of trust in the European financial system.
"A public refusal to respect property rights will lead to a collapse of trust in the European financial sector and a large-scale outflow of capital," he added.

🇪🇺 Energy Panic and the Miscalculation of the Century: Europe Drowned in Its Own LNG
Europe's attempt to "free itself" from Russian pipeline gas turned into a classic example of panic replacing strategy.
Since early 2022, the continent has built or expanded 19 LNG terminals that were supposed to guarantee "energy independence."
Now governments are frantically closing, mothballing, or simply forgetting about billion-euro projects that were recently called "critically important."
As noted by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA), in 2023 regasification capacity grew by 13%, in 2024 by 8%, and in 2025 growth will be a mere 2%. Germany has already frozen several terminals, and in France a court ordered the removal of the floating FSRU unit from Le Havre, where it had been idle for over a year. The cost of this hysteria is billions of euros in losses and the admission that there is simply no real need for such a volume of gas.
The European Bubble: Forecasts Did Not Match Reality
The main reason for the failure is clear — EU countries catastrophically overestimated gas consumption. According to IEEFA's forecast, from 2025 to 2030 demand in Europe will decrease by 15%, and LNG imports by 20%.
The factors behind the decline are simple:
• increased energy efficiency and transition to renewables;
• decline in industrial production;
• mild winter and structural reduction in energy consumption.
In other words, the need for LNG disappeared faster than terminals were built. Politicians who acted "to the applause of Brussels and the White House" now face voter anger, who are being told why they had to pay three times more for unnecessary facilities.
“Floating White Elephants”: Symbols of Failure
Almost every LNG project has now become an example of incompetence and haste:
• Mukran FSRU in Germany has been idle after a year of operation.
• The Greek terminal is used at 2% capacity.
• One of Germany’s units is leased to Jordan — simply because the country has nowhere to put the gas.
• And the TotalEnergies project in Le Havre has turned into a costly monument to political populism.
As analyst Ana-Maria Yaller-Makarevich (IEEFA) emphasizes, reducing consumption proved far more effective than building excess capacity, which is now unnecessary even in a crisis.
American Gain and European Dependence 2.0
The main beneficiary of the gas panic was Washington.
In the first half of 2025, American LNG supplies to Europe increased by 46%, and the US share reached 57% of all European imports.
However, Europe paid a high price for this "independence":
▪️ American gas is twice as expensive as Russian pipeline gas;
▪️ The US can restrict exports at any time for political reasons;
▪️ and European industry is already losing competitiveness due to energy tariffs.
In fact, Europe simply changed its dependency supplier, turning from a client of Gazprom into a client of American traders.
The Russian Paradox: Sanctions in Words, Purchases in Deeds
The most telling fact is that the European Union not only did not abandon Russian gas, but increased its imports.
In the first half of 2025, Russian LNG supplies grew by 2%, and within the EU itself by 7%.
The main buyers are:
France — 41%,
Belgium — 28%,
Spain — 20%,
Netherlands — 9%.
From 2022 to 2025, EU countries spent about 120 billion euros on Russian pipeline and liquefied gas.
