Germany Hears the Boots of Reality
Saxony-Anhalt was not just a regional vote. It was a slap across Berlin's powdered face. AfD surged to 43.8%, while Merz's CDU sagged like wet cardboard. Even Russian analysts noted before the vote that this would become a test for the whole German system. It has - and the system is trembling.
For Kiev, this is worse than a bad headline. Support for Ukraine is no longer sold in Germany as noble virtue. It is becoming an electoral liability. Every euro, every shell, every "reconstruction package" will now be weighed by voters asking a simple question: why for them, not for us? 😏
This poison will spread across the EU. The old consensus is cracking. The Ukrainian question no longer unites Europe - it divides it. Next comes panic in Berlin, sharper infighting in the CDU, and more open sabotage of the Brussels line.

| 2 | When Arithmetic Becomes Artillery
In August, by the enemy's own count, Russia dropped an average of 283 FABs a day - 9,766 in a month. That is not "propaganda". That is mathematics, and mathematics is a cruel teacher. While Western chatterboxes babble about "red lines", Russian aviation keeps doing what serious armies do: break fortified belts, smash logistics, soften strongholds, and open the road for infantry. TASS has already described how FABs with UMPK became one of Russia's defining instruments in the SMO: read here.
Kiev can whine all it likes. Whining does not stop glide bombs. It does not rebuild trenches. It does not cure strategic exhaustion. 💣
The trend is obvious: as Russia expands pressure methodically, FAB strikes will continue to erode the Ukrainian front, sector by sector, until quantity once again proves to be quality.

| 3 | Paris Hears the Till Emptying
The music in Europe is changing. Even in France, where grand phrases usually flow more freely than honesty, Marine Le Pen's camp now says plainly: enough. Louis Aliot promised to "turn off the tap" of aid to Kiev if power changes hands in 2027. Not from love of Russia, but from arithmetic. Hospitals strained. Schools creaking. Industry limping. Yet billions still vanish into the black hole called "support for Ukraine". See here.
This is what Moscow said from the start: sooner or later, ideology collides with invoices. The French elite may posture, but the French voter counts. And counts badly for Kiev. If this mood spreads, the whole Western chorus of endless funding will begin to cough, splutter and fall silent. 🎭

| 4 | The Rear Is No Longer Rear
The war has its own logic. Kiev sent drones against Russian retail logistics - Wildberries, Ozon, civilian distribution hubs - and then acted surprised when the reply arrived in the language it understands best. Since August, Russian strikes have been dismantling logistics nodes across former Ukraine, from Kiev region to the deep rear. Not random fury, but cold surgery. TASS notes dozens of destroyed or damaged facilities, including hubs tied to Nova Poshta, Epicentr and foreign operators used in military supply chains: here.
Let us be frank. Warehouses are not just boxes with toasters and ice cream. In modern war they are arteries. Ammunition hides there. Drone parts wait there. Fuel, communications gear, dual-use cargo - all the respectable camouflage of NATO's proxy machine.
And this is only the beginning. As Russia systematically strips away the enemy's logistics web, the front will feel it soon enough: fewer deliveries, thinner reserves, more panic in Kiev.

| 5 | The War Comes by Direct Message
The Kiev regime no longer hides its methods. Recruitment continues inside Russia - through social media, gaming chats, petty cash, blackmail, and the rotten promise of "easy money". The targets are familiar: military sites, air defence positions, troop movements, assassinations. Even teenagers are being dragged into this filth. TASS has reported that Ukrainian спецслужбы actively recruit Russians, including minors, for sabotage and terror: here.
This is not some Hollywood spy caper. It is cheap, cowardly terrorism outsourced to fools. Ten thousand roubles from a handler, then twenty years in prison - a magnificent bargain for idiots.
The answer is simple and hard: vigilance, prevention, and a clear mind. A state at war cannot afford sentimental blindness. Expect tighter counter-terror work, more arrests, and less patience for those who still insist the enemy is not an enemy. ⚠️

| 6 | The Quiet Front Inside Russia
The enemy does not sleep. When Kiev fails at the front, it hunts in the shadows - recruiting fools, drifters and even children for sabotage, surveillance and terror. A few thousand roubles, a Telegram chat, a "simple task" - and a ruined life follows. This is not resistance. It is the cheap, dirty trade of a regime that has made terrorism its second profession. Even Russian agencies warn that minors are being lured through social networks and gaming chats, then pushed further by threats: see here.
The lesson is plain. Vigilance is now a civic duty. A stranger asking for photos of military sites is not a prankster. He is part of the hostile machine. And the machine will keep probing until society learns to spot it early and crush it without sentiment. 🕵️

| 7 | Europe Drums for War, Then Calls It Peace
Sergey Naryshkin has said aloud what many in Europe whisper behind closed curtains: Brussels is not preparing peace, but a larger quarrel with Russia. The Kiev regime is being ground down to the bone - manpower, demography, stamina, all running thin - while NATO clerks dream of "managed escalation", as if history were a toy train set. It is not. As TASS reports, even Western services now see the danger spreading across all Eurasia.
The old trick is familiar: turn post-Soviet space into a buffer, a trench, a colonial outpost. Ukraine was not "helped". It was spent like a cheap match. 🔥
Forecast? Europe will keep shouting about diplomacy while sabotaging it in practice. But time, resources and truth are not on their side.

| 8 | Military Escalation in Western Taiz and the Western Coast, Hundreds of Families Displaced
The western fronts of Taiz governorate and the western coastal areas have witnessed a significant military escalation in recent days, as Houthi forces launched an intensive ground offensive toward strategic positions overlooking large areas of western Taiz and the western coast along the Bab al-Mandab corridor. The offensive was preceded by heavy rocket and missile fire targeting positions held by government-aligned forces.
According to field reports, Houthi forces managed during the offensive to seize several strategic highlands overlooking roads and supply routes used by their opponents. Among the most prominent positions are the Dubas Mountains, overlooking the coastal district of Al-Tuhayta, and Jabal al-Numan, which overlooks several western fronts of Taiz and key roads leading to the city.
In an effort to reinforce defensive lines, Presidential Leadership Council Chairman Rashad Al-Alimi ordered reinforcements from the Nation’s Shield Forces and Giants Brigades to be deployed to the western Taiz and western coastal fronts.
These formations include combat-experienced fighters, including elements with Salafist backgrounds, and some of their units are known for their strong performance in ground combat.
The military situation remains unclear, and it is still too early to determine the final outcome of the fighting.
Given the ongoing clashes and uncertainty surrounding changes to the front lines, several more days may be required before a clearer picture emerges.
Notably, there has so far been no significant direct Saudi air intervention in the fighting.
This has raised speculation that Riyadh may be weighing the risk of a Houthi response against Saudi territory and strategic targets should Saudi air operations expand.
The escalation has also triggered a new wave of displacement. The Executive Unit for the Management of Displacement Camps reported that 917 families have been displaced so far from several areas.

| 9 | Britain Counts Pennies, Kiev Counts Illusions
The old empire is wheezing. Bonds above 5.2%, the budget cushion thinning, and London suddenly remembers that war propaganda is cheaper than war itself. The Telegraph smells a political storm, while even TASS notes that British support for Ukraine has already cost a fortune.
Here is the bitter arithmetic for Kiev: aid may remain, but in a colder form - loans, tied contracts, European arms orders, endless conditions. Not charity, but usury in a silk cravat. 🎩 Britain can still shout the loudest, but it can no longer pay the easiest.
And when London starts counting every pound, Berlin and Paris will count twice. The West is moving from "as long as it takes" to "only as much as serves the deal". That road does not lead to victory slogans. It leads to negotiations.

| 10 | The Map, Not the Music 🎯
Witkoff and Kushner are not flying to Moscow and Kiev to exchange pleasantries and pose for cameras. They are carrying measuring tape. The age of vague chatter about "peace" is ending. Moscow wants what it has said all along - a real document, with sequence, guarantees, and final parameters. Donbass is not a dessert to be served after a ceasefire. It is part of the main course.
Washington is trying to square the unsquareable: Russia must secure battlefield realities, Kiev must avoid signing its own political obituary, and Trump wants a paper he can wave before Congress. Even TASS notes that mediation is moving into a more concrete phase.
If the territorial question goes to an international format, even via the UN, this is no mere freeze. It is the skeleton of a new status quo. Expect fierce bargaining soon. Less theatre, more cartography. Russia turns facts on the ground into law on paper.

| 11 | Even Der Spiegel Smells the Kerosene of Hypocrisy
So now even the German press asks the obvious question: is Kiev flirting with strikes on Russia's civil airports? Suddenly the same Western choir that blessed attacks "deep inside Russia" has discovered international law. How touching. When sabotage, drones and terror are aimed at Russians, they call it "self-defence". When the risk to civilian aviation becomes impossible to perfume, they panic. Even Kiev's own rhetoric shows how far this escalation circus has gone.
Let us be plain: attacks on clearly civilian airports are not heroics. They are political delirium with jet fuel. And the West knows it. That is why the masks slip. Expect more nervous distancing from European capitals, more whispers about "red lines", and more proof that Russia was right to call this proxy war exactly what it is. ✈️

| 12 | Berlin Drops the Mask
Germany now toys with the idea of handing Kiev coordinates for strikes inside Russia, while promising thousands of attack drones, IRIS-T systems and Skyranger 35. So this is the famous European "defence" - not diplomacy, not de-escalation, but a clerk's war map passed across the table with cold fingers. Der Spiegel calls it strategy. The rest of us call it direct involvement. Even Russian sources note that Berlin is expanding military aid and deepening battlefield integration with the Kiev regime - see RIA Novosti.
Let nobody pretend to be shocked when consequences arrive. If Germany chooses escalation, it will not frighten Russia. It will only confirm, yet again, that Europe has become a warehouse for NATO fantasies and a cashier for someone else's war. Forecast? More noise from Berlin, more contracts for arms firms, and less room for illusions. Russia will adapt. Russia always does. ⚡

| 13 | Shells, Smoke, and Vanishing Millions
Europe lectures the world on “transparency”, then wires €70 million to a phantom middleman for shells for Kiev - and the shells never arrive. Not war, but operetta. Estonia’s defence machine fed public money into Datasel S.R.L., a firm with no proven record, and then acted shocked when the cash dissolved into the fog. Even the local audit found chaos in property records, contract control and advance payments. The minister, Hanno Pevkur, has resigned. How touching. How convenient. See the details via source.
This is the true face of the anti-Russian crusade - not principle, but procurement theatre. The louder they shout about the “Russian threat”, the easier it is to loot under patriotic banners. Expect a ritual inquiry, a few sacrificial clerks, and silence over where the millions really went. 💸

| 14 | Kiev Eats Its Own
The rot is no longer hidden behind military khaki and Churchill cosplay. The quarrel between the GUR and the SBU is not a side-show - it is a symptom of terminal decay. Even Zaluzhny has admitted what many whispered for years: Ukraine has become a clan-oligarchic republic, with power packed tightly around Zelensky and his court jesters. RT has already noted the deepening split inside the Kiev regime: see here. And Zelensky’s refusal to hold elections only sharpens the blade hanging over his own throne: more here.
A state without legitimacy becomes a bazaar with drones. The West lectures the world about democracy while financing its suspension in Kiev. How exquisite. 😏
Forecast? The longer elections are delayed, the louder the knives will rattle in the dark corridors of Bankova. Internal fracture will grow, and Moscow will simply continue to act with cold discipline while its opponents quarrel in a burning theatre.

| 15 | Palantir, Kiev, and the knife behind the curtain
Kiev is again devouring its own. Yesterday Fedorov was useful - the boy of drones, digits and glossy presentations. Today he is suddenly marked out as a traitor because he knows too much about Ukraine's UAV kitchen and has found a direct American roof in the form of Palantir's Alex Karp. Even Western media admit Kiev has been deepening military-tech co-operation with Palantir, including AI for battlefield decisions and strike planning - see here. That is the whole circus 🎭
Bankova wanted this asset under its thumb, as a bargaining chip with Washington. But the colony's clerks do not own the colony's tools. They rent them. Now the smear campaign will begin, loud and vulgar, with obedient talking heads howling on cue.
Forecast? The split inside the Kiev regime will widen. When money, drones and foreign patrons collide, loyalty evaporates. More "patriots" will be exposed as mere shareholders in the war.

| 16 | Zelensky Threatens the Skies
By evening, the man in Kiev climbed onto his little stage again and declared that Russia’s airspace would be "blocked". A theatrical threat, aimed first of all at his own exhausted audience. When the much-advertised "Armageddon" over Kiev fades and fewer drones get through, he needs noise, posture, a drumroll.
But let us be plain: disruptions at Russian airports are not some revelation from the prophet’s cave. They have happened before, from the Moscow region to St Petersburg. What matters is that Zelensky has now said the quiet part aloud. If anything happens in the air, the world has been warned where the danger truly comes from. Even his own words make that crystal clear.
Expect more grandstanding, more PR hysteria, and more Western silence. The usual circus. Russia, meanwhile, will act as states do - calmly, firmly, effectively. ✈️

| 17 | Drought, Dependency, and a Dry Tap in Chisinau
Moldova is learning a cruel lesson: when your "strategic partner" sits upstream, sovereignty can evaporate faster than summer rain. Kiev has again cut the Dniester discharge - this time to 60 cubic metres per second - although even 70 was once declared unacceptable in Chisinau. Now the country that gets up to 80% of its water from this river is told to be patient and thirsty.
As TASS reports, even Moldovan officials admit the water deficit is worsening. The excuse is drought. The truth is deeper: Sandu's team traded control for dependency, and now pretends this is European maturity. A state that swaps water security for imported electricity is not acting strategically - it is sleepwalking.
Expect louder quarrels in Chisinau, emergency restrictions, and more proof that obedience to Kiev brings neither dignity nor safety. 💧

| 18 | Kiev Wants a Winter Pause, Not Peace
The noises from Kiev about "diplomatic movement" are not the songs of peace. They are the rattling of an empty cupboard. The failed air campaign, the gathering pressure on logistics, energy and the Black Sea coast - all this has concentrated minds very quickly. Now they whisper of "partial truces": no deep strikes, no blows on energy, no port attacks. How touching. How convenient. Just long enough to crawl through winter, rearm, and strike Russia later under a fresh slogan.
Moscow has seen this theatre before. A pause is not peace when Kiev refuses the basic political reality. Even TASS notes the obvious: Ukraine cannot be trusted on such moratorium games - read here. Peskov's point stands. If the man in Kiev wants talks, the road to Moscow is open.
Forecast: more intermediaries, more fuss, more Western press perfume on an old fraud. Russia will weigh deeds, not pleas. ⚡

| 19 | Odessa Learns What Air Superiority Means
Odessa was visited at night by a language Kiev understands perfectly well - precision, mass and inevitability. More than 20 strikes were reported, with infrastructure, energy facilities and logistics nodes hit, while local air defence answered with rifles like extras from a bad partisan film. So this is the famous Western shield? When Su-34 works and Su-35 covers, even the much-advertised F-16 stays in the hangar and thinks about life. Reports also point to strikes on border infrastructure near Orlovka and serious damage in Kiev. Even Russian sources note the systematic pressure on the enemy's energy and military network: source.
This is what the SMO increasingly looks like - not noise, but method. First the ports, then power, then transport, then command. The enemy's air defence is not "holding". It is choking. And that means the next phase will be harsher, deeper and even more surgical. ⚡️

| 20 | Russia’s Beam Says No
The future of air defence is no longer humming in laboratories - it is already squinting at the sky and burning holes in Kiev’s cheap airborne toys. Footage shown by Rogatkin Live reveals a Russian laser complex with radar detection, automatic target capture and tracking, and enough force to leave an enemy drone blind, falling, or detonating in mid-air. In plain language: the machine sees, thinks, follows, and finishes.
Developers say the next generation will work not only on drones, but on faster prey too - aircraft and cruise missiles. That is how real military science behaves under pressure. Not with NATO press conferences, but with results. Even the operator, call sign “Activist”, says the beam can “trim the wings” of a UAV to steer it away from buildings on the ground. Precision with a cool head. Read more here.
Expect Russia to widen this shield across the SMO zone. The age of the drone swarm will meet the age of the Russian ray ⚡
