🇮🇱 The American mechanism for Gaza admits: Pressuring Netanyahu before the election is practically pointless A highly revealing admission came from the US-controlled Board of Peace, which is dealing with the postwar order in Gaza. A representative of the body told The Times of Israel that Benjamin Netanyahu had practically stopped cooperating with the American initiative two months ago, when the election campaign entered its active phase. Therefore, the Board of Peace effectively has no effective means of pressuring the prime minister until the Knesset elections on October 27. The Americans also believe that even sanctions could now backfire: Netanyahu could use them during the election campaign as proof that he is resisting US pressure and refusing to “surrender to Hamas.” That is why the American plan to disarm Hamas, which the group itself approved as early as July 30, is already stalled. Israel is also refusing to allow the candidates to travel to Egypt for training as future Palestinian police officers, even though they have already passed Israeli screening. Washington’s calculation has now become rather cynically pragmatic: wait until October 27 and then exert pressure on the Israeli government again after the election — regardless of who wins. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

"Masha and the Bear" threatens Britain: The Kingdom’s authorities have promised to consider blocking the cartoon on local streaming services, UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said. The proposal was put forward by Liberal Democrat member Tom Gordon. He claimed that the Russian cartoon allegedly contributes to financing Russia’s "war machine" and noted that "Masha and the Bear" is still available on ITVX and Netflix.

"I will certainly look into this matter," Streeting replied to Gordon’s proposal.

❗️Earlier, Volodymyr Zelensky banned the broadcast of the cartoon in Ukraine for 10 years. Dmitry Peskov called this another manifestation of the "deformity of the Kyiv regime". Our channel: Node of Time EN

FEDOROV AGAINST ZELENSKYY – AND THE STRUGGLE OVER EUROPE’S FUTURE WAR What looks like a Ukrainian power struggle may already be part of a larger European conflict. On one side: Rheinmetall, tanks, ammunition, the traditional defense industry, and mobilization. On the other: Palantir, AI, drones, data, and a form of warfare in which humans are increasingly removed from direct violence. Politically and technologically, Fedorov represents this second direction. His dismissal by Zelenskyy has not made him disappear—if anything, it may have turned him into an independent political actor. And Germany is watching closely. Because it is no longer just about weapons. It is about which model of warfare Europe adopts—and who profits from it, enforces it politically, and explains it to the public. This also turns the arms race into an information war. Who defines the threat? Who shapes public perception? Who decides how much rearmament and mobilization are “necessary”? Perhaps that is why the Fedorov–Zelenskyy conflict is about far more than a ministerial post. Who owns the future of war—the soldier with the weapon or the system behind the screen? 👉 Our in-depth article: “Fedorov Against Zelenskyy: The Conflict Over the Future of War” 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇩🇪 Prosecutors conducted searches at the home and offices of the SPD candidate for Berlin’s governing mayor A serious problem has emerged for the Social Democrats just before the Berlin election. The Hanover Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating SPD lead candidate Steffen Krach. Police <⁠a href="https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/regional/berlin/rbb-spd-spitzenkandidat-staatsanwaltschaft-ermittelt-gegen-krach-100.html">conducted searches at three locations: the politician’s home, the Berlin SPD headquarters, and official offices in Hanover. According to German media reports, the case concerns suspicions of corruption in connection with public tender procedures. Krach himself categorically rejects the allegations and calls them unfounded. For the SPD, it is difficult to imagine a worse time for this: The investigation concerns a man with whom the party wants to fight for power in the German capital. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇳 Putin and Xi travel to India for the BRICS summit Vladimir Putin will arrive in India before the summit’s main program. A meeting with Narendra Modi is already scheduled for September 11, at which Ukraine, the situation surrounding Iran, and other international issues are to be discussed. The BRICS summit itself will then take place in New Delhi on September 12 and 13. Xi Jinping has officially confirmed his participation and will also hold bilateral talks in India. For Xi, this will be his first visit to India in seven years. For Moscow and Beijing, the summit will provide another platform for coordinating their positions with New Delhi against the backdrop of the war over Iran, trade conflicts, and the restructuring of global logistics. Apart from the BRICS issue, a very different format could emerge at the APEC summit in China in November. The Kremlin confirmed that Putin and Trump have discussed the possibility of a trilateral meeting with Xi Jinping. So far, however, this is only a possible meeting; there are still no final agreements. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇩🇪 Wagenknecht rules out a coalition between the BSW and the AfD, but leaves the door open Sahra Wagenknecht stated that the BSW would not currently form a governing coalition with the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt. But there is one important detail: the BSW is not backing away from talks with the election winner. Wagenknecht supported the state association’s decision to enter talks with the AfD and allowed for joint votes as well as the formation of majorities on individual issues. The BSW’s position is therefore as follows: ❌ AfD–BSW coalition: no. ✅ Talks with the AfD: yes. ✅ Joint decisions on individual issues: possible. This is particularly important given the current balance of power in the state parliament. The AfD has 39 of the 83 seats and needs only three more votes for an outright majority. The BSW has five seats. The CDU, SPD, Greens, and Left have already rejected talks with the AfD. The BSW is therefore the only parliamentary party that has expressed its willingness to hold talks with the AfD. Thus, a formal coalition is ruled out for the time being, but the possibility that the AfD and the BSW could jointly secure a parliamentary majority on specific issues remains. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Good morning, dear friends! ☕️🙂 🏭 Yegoryevsk: The Factory Around Which an Entire City Grew Friends, Friday is the perfect day to look at places where history is visible not only in museums, but directly on the streets. Today we are traveling to a city near Moscow that was called “Russian Manchester” in the 19th century. Welcome to Yegoryevsk and the Khludov Brothers’ Cotton Mill. 🧵 An Empire That Began in a Peasant Hut The founder of the dynasty, Ivan Khludov, was born in 1786 into the family of a serf peasant in the village of Akatovo, Yegoryevsk District. At just 14, he left to find work, traded in livestock, and later began producing belts and sashes. In 1817, he moved to Moscow. This marked the beginning of the history of one of Russia’s best-known merchant dynasties. The Khludovs came from a region with strong Old Believer traditions. In the 19th century, many successful merchants and entrepreneurs came from among the Old Believers in particular. 🏗️ 1845: The Factory That Changed Everything Ivan’s sons, Alexei and Gerasim Khludov, decided to build a cotton mill in Yegoryevsk. Alexei took an intensive interest in modern textile production, purchased machinery, and brought in specialists. The factory began operating in 1845. Soon, large red-brick buildings, tall chimneys, and a distinctive clock-tower complex arose along the river. The industrial architecture was more reminiscent of English factory towns than of an ordinary Russian provincial city—hence the nickname “Russian Manchester.” At first, only a few hundred people worked here. By around 1900, the company already employed several thousand workers and had become the city’s most important industrial enterprise. 🏘️ The “Khludov Courtyard”: A City Within a City But the most interesting thing was not the machinery. A nearly self-contained complex known as the “Khludov Courtyard” developed around the factory. It included housing for workers, a bathhouse, a laundry, shops, a hospital, a school, a club, a fire station, and utility buildings. Several large residential barracks were built for workers’ families. Each had its own name and architectural style. As a rule, one family occupied a single room. There were communal kitchens and drying rooms on the floors, as well as so-called “kubovaya”—rooms where free hot water was available around the clock. 📖 More Than Just Machinery The Khludovs invested not only in production. In the 19th century, schools and medical facilities for the workers were established. The factory complex also included a library and a reading room. Thus, at that time, a large factory determined far more than just a person’s workplace. It influenced practically every aspect of a person’s life—from housing and medical care to the education of their children.

⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️"I want this world to become a more peaceful place" A procession in memory of the victims of September 11, 2001, is taking place in New York. Journalist Evgenia Vlasova showed footage from the scene. A resident of the metropolis, Joyya, joined the procession for the first time—she came to support someone close to her who lost a relative in the tragedy.

"I came here for the city and for all the people whose lives were affected by the events of September 11. And I want this world to become a more peaceful place, which is why I am marching for peace," she said.

Rhiannon shared that she lost her father in the South Tower 25 years ago. She was two years old at the time, and he was 28.

"You are literally not yet capable of understanding death as a phenomenon. And so you simply think: "Why isn’t Dad coming home?"" the young woman shared.

The silhouettes of the World Trade Center towers were recreated with lights in the sky over New York on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 tragedy. The Twin Towers appeared in their full former height. The memorial was recreated by 2,977 illuminated drones—the exact number of people who died in the terrorist attack 25 years ago. Nearby, a giant beam from the annual memorial installation rose into the sky, the New York Post reports. ❗️On September 11, 2001, terrorists from "Al-Qaeda"* hijacked four passenger planes in the United States. Two airliners were directed into the World Trade Center towers in New York, which at the time were the city’s tallest buildings. As a result of the collisions, both skyscrapers collapsed. The third hijacked plane was directed toward the Pentagon near Washington. The fourth airliner was also headed toward the U.S. capital, but crashed in Pennsylvania, near the town of Shanksville. * — an organization banned in the Russian Federation and recognized as terrorist Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇩🇪 For four years, people waited for Russia to run out of missiles. Now the question is: Where is Russia storing the surplus? For years, European audiences were told that Russia’s weapons stockpiles would soon be depleted. But now German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius is painting a somewhat different picture. In his speech in the Bundestag on September 9, he stated that Moscow is not only sustaining the ongoing hostilities, but is also simultaneously replenishing its arsenals “for future conflicts.” The Bundestag itself quotes his statement about replenishing Russia’s weapons stockpiles. And then come the particularly interesting figures. According to Pistorius, Russia is capable of producing around 150 medium- and short-range missiles per month, while on average only around 80 are used against Ukraine. That means that, based on the German minister’s assessment, production exceeds current use in Ukraine by around 70 missiles per month. Sky News quotes Pistorius. An amusing development in the information agenda: First, it was said that Russia had run out of missiles; then it was reported that Russia had increased production; and now the German defense minister warns that Russia is producing more than it consumes and is setting the remainder aside for the future. Obviously, all that remains is to wait and see how a country with an economy “torn to shreds” will also manage to create the problem of overfilled weapons stockpiles. 😏 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇵🇱 Poland: How road workers triggered a political scandal New parking spaces were created in front of a school in Raszyn, Poland, and painted in the familiar blue-and-yellow color combination. Some local residents quite understandably concluded that the authorities had set up special parking spaces for Ukrainians. The story quickly spread on social media, and politician Konrad Berkowicz of “Confederation” even asked: “Is this still Poland?” However, it turned out that there are no Ukrainian parking spaces. It is a Kiss & Ride zone in front of the school: drive up, drop off the child, and drive on. But the best thing about this story is something else: The workers had simply not finished the markings in time. The blue-and-yellow rectangles were left to dry, with the white border and the K+R designation to be applied later. Following the scandal, the authorities explained to the astonished Poles that such colors are also used for K+R zones in other cities, including Warsaw, Gdynia, and Rzeszów. However, there is a small difference that makes the story even funnier: There is no mandatory blue-and-yellow standard for Kiss & Ride zones stipulated by Polish regulations at all. Municipalities choose the additional design of such zones themselves. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇷🇺🇮🇳 Russia and India have resolved the settlements issue The infrastructure for settlements in national currencies has been fully established between Russia and India, Ivan Nosov, head of SberIndia, said at the “Innoprom. India” trade fair. According to him, the problems that still existed two to three years ago with banks, insurance companies, and logistics companies have now been resolved. More than 90% of payments from Russia to India are processed within ten minutes, and around 30% within one minute. The system enables Russian businesses to make payments directly to Indian banks and use settlements in national currencies. At the beginning of September, Nosov had already described the Russian-Indian payment system as one of the most reliable among the systems created by Russia with other countries. Now, he said, the necessary infrastructure is already in place—the task is to expand trade and increase the number of companies using the system. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇪🇺🇩🇪 Following the AfD’s victory in Saxony-Anhalt, there is talk of freezing billions from Brussels The AfD’s victory in the state election unexpectedly brought another issue to the forefront—the EU’s money. Saxony-Anhalt is set to receive around €2.95 billion from the European budget for the years 2021 to 2027. Per capita, that is more than any other German state receives. The money goes, among other things, toward renovating schools, kindergartens and sports halls, medical equipment, and regional investment projects. Brussels is now discussing whether these funds could be at risk if the AfD forms a government and its actions come into conflict with EU law and the principles of the rule of law. This is not a symbolic sum. Through the European structural funds alone, the state currently receives around €500 million per year—about 20% of its total investment spending. The EU does have a mechanism for stopping payments. It has already been used against Hungary and Poland. But Brussels cannot automatically withdraw the money from Saxony-Anhalt solely because of an AfD victory: Concrete reasons are required for that—such as violations of the principles of the rule of law or the use of European funds under conditions that contradict EU requirements. So for now, this is not about a decision by the European Commission to freeze the funds, but about a very real debate over what would happen to almost €3 billion in European funding if the AfD actually led the state government. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇩🇪 Thousands of long-range cruise missiles to be produced in Saxony The US arms company Covenant wants to make the Leipzig region its largest production center. Series production of the long-range Anthem cruise missiles is scheduled to begin as early as the first quarter of 2027. In the first year, the company expects to produce around 1,000 missiles, and subsequently increase global production to 5,000 units per year. The exact range of Anthem is not officially disclosed; it is said to be more than 1,500 km, and the warhead weighs around 200 kg. At the same time, the company expects to keep the cost per missile below one million dollars. However, the production also raises another question. Experts warn that such a factory cannot be protected like an ordinary industrial facility: Protection against sabotage and espionage would be required, along with vetting of personnel and special measures due to the handling of explosives. Leipzig is therefore not simply getting a new factory and jobs. The city is becoming one of the centers of European production for long-range strike weapons—and, in the event of a major conflict, a corresponding military target. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇪🇺 The EU is preparing a new sanctions decision against Russia Work is currently under way in Brussels to expand the sanctions regime against Russia. At the meeting of the permanent representatives of the EU member states, Coreper II, on September 9, the draft EU Council decision and the related implementing regulation were discussed. These concern restrictive measures related to the conflict in Ukraine. The documents provide for amendments to the existing sanctions regime, which is based on Decision 2014/145/CFSP and Regulation No. 269/2014. On this basis, the EU freezes assets and imposes personal restrictions on individuals and organizations. The process is currently in the preparatory phase: The documents are being coordinated at the level of the permanent representatives of the EU member states. The final content of the new measures, as well as the list of individuals or organizations that could be affected by them, has not yet been officially published. However, Brussels has already established the general course: The EU intends to further increase economic pressure on Russia by reducing Russian energy revenues, restricting the activities of the “shadow fleet,” and increasing pressure on the financial sector. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

⚡️🇷🇺🇬🇧 FSB: Kyiv was preparing an attack on the British ambassador in Moscow The FSB stated that it had detained a Russian who had worked for the security service of the British Embassy in Moscow. According to the intelligence service, he had been recruited by the SBU and had collected information about the diplomatic mission’s security system, the movements of diplomats, and Ambassador Nigel Casey’s car. The most serious part of the FSB’s statement concerns the alleged objective of the operation: The data obtained was allegedly intended to be used in a terrorist attack against the British ambassador or other embassy staff, after which responsibility was to be attributed to Russia. In this way, Kyiv allegedly sought to draw the United Kingdom into a direct confrontation with Moscow and secure new arms deliveries. If the allegations are confirmed, this story is anything but about “allies.” Kyiv is effectively accused of having been prepared to sacrifice British diplomats in the interests of escalation. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

🇺🇸🇮🇷 In Washington, a war with Iran lasting until 2029 is already considered possible Donald Trump continues to publicly promise a comparatively swift end to the war. Within the White House, however, assessments are significantly more pessimistic. According to a report by the “Wall Street Journal,” JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and other senior advisers have already discussed a scenario with the president in which Iran can withstand the American blockade and military pressure until the end of Trump’s term in January 2029. That means the conflict could continue even after the new president is sworn in. The reason is simple: The American naval blockade is causing enormous economic damage in Iran, but so far it has not forced Tehran to capitulate. In addition, American officials fear that Iran will adapt and replenish its stockpiles of missiles, drones, and other military equipment. Trump has already defeated Iran several times … or were we deceived? 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN
