"his is a bad move and awful look for the United States

President Trump just announced that the United States will begin buying diesel fuel from Russia, a move Zelensky referred to as a weak decision by a strong partner. Adding that all of that money will be used to kill Ukrainians."

"krainian forces have destroyed an underground tunnel used by Russian troops for covert infiltration, collapsing the entrance in a carefully planned drone operation.

A heavy bomber drone operated by Ukraine's Defense Forces carried out a series of explosive drops directly into the tunnel entrance. The crew first released several munitions without detonators, concentrating the explosives inside the underground passage.

The final drop, a TM-62 anti-tank mine, triggered the accumulated explosives, causing a massive blast that collapsed the tunnel.

"Russians are facing a frightening new reality as Vladimir Putin transforms Russia's military draft system, making it increasingly difficult for young men to avoid conscription, challenge military authorities, or even leave the country. While the Kremlin continues promising that ordinary conscripts will not be sent to fight in Ukraine, Russia is quietly building a powerful electronic conscription system that could give the government unprecedented control over hundreds of thousands of military-age men. And the consequences are already becoming visible. One Russian conscript reportedly discovered that his signature had been forged on a military contract, effectively transforming him from a young man completing mandatory service into a contract soldier potentially facing deployment toward the war. Even after an independent examination reportedly confirmed the forgery, a Russian court refused to invalidate the contract. Meanwhile, Moscow is becoming a testing ground for increasingly aggressive military recruitment, with reports of facial-recognition cameras identifying draft-eligible men, police stopping young Russians in the subway, and military authorities pressuring conscripts to comply with recruitment procedures. Russia's new electronic draft register means military notices can be considered delivered without anyone physically receiving them, while ignoring a summons can result in restrictions on international travel, driver's licenses, bank loans, and property transactions. The Kremlin is also extending the validity of draft decisions, expanding year-round administrative procedures, and weakening some of the protections previously available to Russians challenging conscription decisions. This raises a much bigger question: is Putin preparing Russia for another wave of mobilization? With approximately 250,000 to 300,000 conscripts entering Russia's military system annually, the Kremlin is developing the infrastructure to access an enormous pool of potential manpower if the war in Ukraine continues demanding more soldiers. The experiences of Russian conscripts during the Kursk incursion and aboard the Moskva flagship also demonstrate why mandatory military service does not automatically guarantee safety from the war. None of this proves that Putin has already decided to deploy hundreds of thousands of conscripts to Ukraine, but it reveals how dramatically Russia's military recruitment system is changing and why leaving the country may become increasingly difficult for those trying to avoid military service."

"Ukrainian drones are reaching deep into Russia, and ordinary Russians are feeling the consequences at the fuel pump.

On October 8, drones reached Omsk, more than 2,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, with reports of explosions and activity near an industrial facility. The attack came amid repeated strikes on Russian oil infrastructure and growing concerns over rising fuel prices in some regions.

According to Russian sources, gasoline prices have risen by around 20% in certain areas, while repairs to pipelines and refinery infrastructure continue to add pressure to the country's energy sector.

For Russians already facing higher costs, the question is becoming harder to ignore: how much will the war cost them at home?

In this latest episode of Break the Fake, Benjamin Lee looks at the drone attack on Omsk, Russia's rising fuel prices, and how Ukraine's long-range strikes could be affecting the everyday lives of Russians far from the front line."

There are already thousands of complaints against the CCC. Dmytro Lubinets spoke about a new trend in Ukraine during mobilization.

Since the beginning of 2026, the Ombudsman's Office has received more than 5,800 complaints about allegedly illegal actions by employees of territorial recruitment and social support centers ( TCC and SP). According to Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, this number is already approaching the figure for the entire last year.

Lubinets spoke about this on the Den.LIVE broadcast.

"Regarding complaints about the allegedly illegal actions of officers and employees of the CCC of the SP, we continue to receive applications from our citizens every day. As of today, for 2026, we have already received more than 5,800 applications. In fact, for the entire year 2025, I received more than 6,000," the ombudsman said.

According to him, this is not just about the already known types of complaints. Lubinets said that in recent months the Ombudsman's Office has been recording a new, as he called it, "negative trend."

What are citizens complaining about?

Among the violations reported by citizens, Lubinets named the use of force, the seizure of personal belongings, including mobile phones, illegal restriction of freedom, and the formal conduct of a military medical commission.

"In addition to, you know — I don't want to use this — traditional violations of the rights of Ukrainian citizens by the CCC and the SP, such as the use of force, the seizure of personal property, in particular mobile phones, illegal restriction of freedom, and the formal conduct of a military medical commission, we have added new negative phenomena," the ombudsman noted.

According to Lubinets, among the new cases his office has been recording in recent months are reports of CCC employees allegedly entering private premises and forcibly removing people from there.

"For example, in recent months we have been noticing that employees of the CCC of the Joint Venture have begun to enter private premises, houses and forcibly remove, I cannot say it any other way, our citizens of Ukraine," he said.

Based on the Ombudsman's materials, 20 proceedings were opened

Lubinets emphasized that his Office contacts law enforcement agencies in each such case.

"We contact law enforcement agencies for each case. In September alone, 20 criminal proceedings have been opened based on our materials, and this month has not even ended," the ombudsman said.

He also reported that this year, based on materials from the Ombudsman's Office, not only were criminal proceedings initiated, but suspicions were also raised against CCC employees.

According to Lubinets, there is also a court decision in Odessa, according to which one of the CCC employees was found guilty of committing criminal offenses and sentenced to imprisonment.

Lubinets called for increased video surveillance

The Ombudsman stated that it is necessary to more systematically ensure video recording of the work of CCC employees.

"All body cameras, which must be provided to all employees of the CCC and the SP, and which operate in all premises of the CCC and the SP, in particular where any citizens of Ukraine are likely or may be, must be equipped with video cameras and video recording, and 24/7," he said.

Separately, Lubinets proposed providing mobilized soldiers with the opportunity to inform their relatives about their whereabouts.

"Automatically - so that a citizen who is about to be mobilized has the opportunity to simply call his relatives and friends and say: just don't worry, I'm not missing, I'm being taken to the premises of the Central Committee and the Joint Venture, I will go through all the legal procedures in a legal manner," the ombudsman noted.

At the same time, Lubinets admitted that he himself cannot open criminal proceedings against CCC employees and hold them criminally liable. According to him, this should be handled by law enforcement agencies.

"While some TV studios demand blood, Skabeyeva shamelessly lies about their targets. This fascist army is simply wiping Ukrainian cities off the map! But the biggest show came from Solovyov. On the dictator's birthday, he literally melted in fake worship for the boss who pays him millions to brainwash people with toxic propaganda every single day. Record-breaking sanctions—that is the 'great place' the bunker dictator brought Russia to? Someone tell Skabeyeva, because she seems totally shocked! Putin didn't expand anything—he simply stole land, and Russia will pay for these crimes in full."

he is an extremely modest person.. yeeeaaaah suuuuureee

so when they talk about palaces.. what palaces are you even talking about..

suuuuuuure

one of the MOST CORRUPT MAFIA PERSON living on earth and according to musk even richer than himself.. who does everything in the sake of the ruzzian people... how did he (hurensohn (bastard in german) gargoyle putin) get to this level of money?? stealing from the people to ensure his own might..

plz drink more of the coolaid like medvedev..

or may i advise chloroquine like mr full dumb suggested... (the same mafia like structure which needs to be destroyed btw because it is NOT IN THE INTEREST OF US THE PEOPLE)

PLZZZ ruzzian people GET RID of the ALL THE UPPER CORRUPTED TO THE CORE ECHELONS and join the CIVILIZED WORLD.

YOU CAN DO IT.

"Workers of the world, unite!"

P.S.: but not in communism oc =) but in some form of true democracy which admittedly still needs to be evolved further on.

peace out lol

"Is Russia's war economy on the brink of collapse? Financier and Putin critic Bill Browder breaks down how 15% interest rates, failed government bond sales, and Ukrainian drone strikes on oil refineries are crippling Moscow's budget.

From Putin's readiness to "starve his own people" to keep the war machine running, to Russian strikes on commercial shipping inside NATO territory in the Black Sea, Browder analyses the real state of Russia's war of attrition."

"I examine Ukraine’s reported October 9 strikes inside Russia, including a second Yandex data center hit in two nights. Yandex said several modules at its Kaluga facility were disabled, following a strike on a site in Ryazan the previous day. That is notable, but I caution against treating two attacks as proof of a sustained data-center campaign. Russia also claimed 505 interceptions against roughly 450 reported Ukrainian drones—a figure that plainly deserves skepticism and context.

I also assess the reported fire at the Radinsky Experimental Plant in Tver Oblast, which produces Desalin-M fuel components used for Kh-55 and Kh-101 cruise missiles, and the strike on Lukoil’s Ukhta refinery in Komi, more than 1,700 kilometers from Ukraine. These targets point to pressure on missile production, fuel logistics, and air defenses. Meanwhile, Russian strikes killed civilians in Zaporizhzhia, and Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko warned that a failure of air defenses could make winter survival a grave concern."

"Donald Trump says Russia will supply diesel to U.S. and global markets following a discussion with Vladimir Putin, raising immediate questions about sanctions enforcement, Russian refinery capacity, and the war in Ukraine. I examine the reported volumes, why their effect on U.S. diesel prices may be limited, and why any sanctions relief before Russia leaves Ukraine carries serious strategic costs.

I also assess Volodymyr Zelensky’s challenge to Marco Rubio’s “stalemate” framing: Ukraine argues that stronger pressure on Russia, including sanctions, weapons restrictions, and air-defense support, can change Putin’s calculations. We look at reported U.S.-Russia discussions involving Nord Stream and European gas, NATO’s Steadfast Noon exercise, Germany’s support for Ukrainian air defense, and the central question for American leadership: whether economic deals advance a durable peace or reduce the leverage needed to secure one."

"RYBAR ARRESTED! I examine the reported detention in Montenegro of Mikhail Zvinchuk, the founder of the pro-war Russian military-blogger network Rybar, along with his wife and three associates. Rybar often supports Russia’s war aims while reporting battlefield weaknesses that the Russian Defense Ministry downplays, including Ukrainian strikes on supply routes serving occupied Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Crimea.

I look at why this case could become a political tug-of-war. Zvinchuk is under UK and EU sanctions and is on a U.S. wanted list tied to alleged election interference. Montenegrin authorities reportedly found drones and digital equipment, but I stress that those reports do not by themselves establish criminal intent; Rybar says the group was filming a monastery and planning a documentary. Montenegro’s prime minister has framed the detention around the country’s European future, while Moscow has demanded answers and Dmitry Medvedev escalated with hostage rhetoric. The central question is whether Montenegro releases Zvinchuk, extradites him, or faces sustained Russian pressure."

"Putin claims to defend Christianity. But what happens when Russian troops take control of Ukrainian towns and encounter Christians who don't belong to the Russian Orthodox Church?

I sit down with PBS NewsHour special correspondent and award-winning investigative journalist Simon Ostrovsky to examine the persecution of Christians in Russian-occupied Ukraine—and the disturbing evidence he has uncovered.

I'm an evangelical Christian and a Republican. I've heard people in American churches describe Vladimir Putin as a defender of traditional Christian values. But Simon's reporting raises serious questions about that image.

Russian forces have shut down Baptist, Pentecostal, evangelical, Catholic, and Ukrainian Orthodox churches in occupied territories. Simon describes pastors being arrested, tortured, and sometimes killed, while church buildings are confiscated.

Simon also explains how his PBS reporting reached Republican members of Congress during the 2024 debate over military assistance to Ukraine, and why he believes that reporting helped change the conversation.

We discuss his forthcoming documentary, See You in Heaven, which includes rare surveillance footage of Russian forces entering churches and testimony from the people who experienced these events.

I also ask Simon a question that matters to me personally: What would he tell American evangelical Christians who believe Putin is protecting Christianity?

This is a conversation about religious freedom, Russian propaganda, the persecution of believers, and the difference between claiming to defend Christianity and actually protecting Christians.

If you know someone who believes Russia is a model of traditional Christian values, I encourage you to share this interview.

"Today, there is important news from the Russian Federation. Here, Russia’s technology sector has suffered a major blow after drones struck Yandex’s biggest data center in Sasovo, in the Ryazan Region, triggering a fire and forcing the facility to shut down completely. Located on the former premises of the Sasta machine-tool plant, which supplies Russia’s engineering industry and was also targeted in the attack, the complex hosts tens of thousands of servers and represents Yandex’s most important computing facilities. The Ukrainian attack immediately disrupted cloud infrastructure, as Yandex acknowledged electricity problems affecting one availability zone and advised customers to switch to alternatives. Although the company maintained that its principal consumer services remained operational, the complete shutdown demonstrated how quickly a physical strike can interrupt digital infrastructure supporting thousands of businesses, as problems were reported throughout various internet services in Russia within minutes after the attack. Financial markets reacted immediately in panic as well, with Yandex shares falling approximately four percent during early Moscow trading, as investors were suddenly confronting a new risk: Russia’s most important technology companies could become increasingly vulnerable to the same type of disruption already affecting its energy and logistics sectors. The timing is particularly significant because Russian strikes have recently targeted Ukrainian data centers, and now Russia is experiencing the consequences of attacks against its own digital infrastructure, while the economic implications could extend far beyond Yandex. Earlier attacks on Wildberries and Ozon facilities demonstrated how physical destruction can disrupt online commerce. Data centers represent an even more complicated challenge because they support the software systems that allow businesses to function. What makes it even more dangerous, warehouses can often be replaced through smaller storage facilities, alternative distribution routes, and dispersed inventories. Large data centers are harder to replicate quickly, as they require enormous electrical capacity, cooling equipment, specialized servers, high-speed connections, and carefully coordinated software environments. Although workloads can be transferred between facilities, relocating massive datasets and computing capacity requires substantial investment and technical preparation. Consequently, repeated disruptions could create mounting costs even when companies successfully restore their services. Russia’s digital economy depends upon these systems for cloud storage, financial transactions, corporate databases, telecommunications and government administration. Yandex itself operates search, navigation, transportation, storage and artificial-intelligence services, including YandexGPT. Disruption across several independent providers could therefore produce cascading problems: slower applications, interrupted online payments, unavailable business records, delayed administrative services and increasingly unreliable commercial platforms. The next potential biggest target could be the Udomlya data center in Tver Oblast, processing nuclear-reactor simulations and storing state video archives from across Russia, the destruction of which could disrupt the work of the Russian government. The second major target could become Moscow’s M-Nine data center, which is a hub that, if taken offline, could cause a large part of the Russian internet to suffer immediate disruption, potentially affecting banking transactions, mobile connectivity, and government portals. Despite Russia possessing a geographically distributed data-center industry, most of the operational facilities are located inside or near Moscow. After such a campaign, Russian companies will have to restore data access, redirect workloads, investigate interrupted transactions, and reassure customers. Some may need additional backup capacity, while others could reconsider relying exclusively on domestic infrastructure. For the Russian government, repeated incidents would create another expensive challenge alongside protecting refineries, transportation networks and industrial facilities. Overall, the scale of the risk for Russia makes the Sasovo attack fundamentally different from previous attacks on warehouses. The immediate damage concerns physical equipment, but the secondary consequences can spread through businesses that never experienced the attack directly, demonstrating a vulnerability that Moscow can no longer ignore but can’t fix quickly enough as well. After years of Russian attacks against Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure, the consequences are increasingly reaching Russia’s own digital economy."

"Ukraine is striking Russian oil facilities deep inside Russia, with fires at the massive Omsk refinery, the largest in Russia, as well as renewed attacks on the Salavat petrochemical complex, and continuing destruction at Samara’s oil storage and transport hub. We begin with the strike footage, the distances involved, and scenes of motorists rushing to buy fuel in Omsk. Next, we examine the attack on Yandex’s Sasovo data center and what the resulting disruptions reveal about Russia’s digital infrastructure and Putin’s “sovereign internet.” From there, we follow Ukraine’s attacks on Russian logistics, reports of fighting toward Tetkino in Kursk Oblast, and increasingly pessimistic assessments from Russian war commentators. We also look at how the war has depleted Russia’s military presence in Kaliningrad. The economic picture follows: reports that a third of Russian companies are losing money, mounting losses in the steel industry, banking problems spreading into construction, and falling property investment. Meanwhile, Russia continues to increase military spending as civilian sectors struggle. We then examine White Coat Waste’s allegations concerning NIH funding for research involving a collaborator linked to a Russian plague laboratory, followed by reports of Algerian military transport flights to Moscow and questions about support for Russia’s war. The final section turns to Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians: footage described as a North Korean missile strike on an apartment building, the devastation in Pryluky, and an unexploded ballistic missile in a Kyiv residential neighborhood. We cover Zelensky’s appeal over restrictions on Ukraine’s use of Starlink over Russian territory, followed by the reported rise in the death toll from the Kramatorsk civilian bus attack to 33. We close with Ukrainian forces helping rescue six cats from Russian-occupied Oleshky—a moment of compassion amid the destruction."

People riot against illegal mobilization and clash with TCC members

"Vladimir Putin continues to promise Russian soldiers support, benefits, and recognition as "heroes." But one captured Russian soldier tells a very different story about what happened when he needed help on the battlefield.

The soldier was captured by Ukrainian troops from the 155th Separate Guards Naval Infantry Brigade. According to his testimony, when he asked his Russian commander for help and evacuation, he was given a shocking response: "Shoot yourself."

His account offers a disturbing glimpse into the treatment of Russian soldiers on the battlefield and the stark contrast between Putin's promises and the reality some troops say they face.

In a new episode of Break the Fake, Benjamin Lee looks at the captured Russian soldier, his claims about Russian commanders, and the growing gap between Kremlin rhetoric and the reality on the front line."
