❗️Ukraine has clearly restarted its campaign against Russian oil refineries. After yesterday’s large-scale strike on Novokuybyshevsk, Ufa is now the latest target, with a fire reported at the refining complex in Bashkortostan. Located roughly 1,300-1,500 km from Ukraine, the Ufa hub is one of Russia’s largest refining centers and produces gasoline, diesel, lubricants and aviation fuel used across civilian and military logistics. #Russia

Close-up footage recorded by a crew member aboard CONTSHIP JET shows a Russian surface drone approaching the vessel around 30 km from Shabla, Bulgaria. One of the three drones that struck the ship can be clearly identified in the video. Despite the footage, Bulgarian authorities have so far avoided directly naming Russia when commenting on the attack. #BlackSea

❗️The Washington Sun reports that Trump administration officials are privately urging US companies to accept Russian diesel cargoes crossing the Atlantic. At least three vessels reportedly sailed for the US after Trump moved to lift sanctions on Russian diesel on October 16. Industry sources say buyers are resisting over legal and reputational risks, despite pressure and substantial discounts being offered by both Moscow and Washington. #Russia

❗️Elon Musk says “the endless slaughter of Ukrainians and Russians must stop” and called for sympathy for Russian conscripts. “Those kids have no choice but to fight and die in drone strikes,” he wrote. His remarks come amid an ongoing dispute over restrictions on Starlink and its use by Ukraine, including Ukrainian military operations. #Ukraine

2026-10-25 13:57:22 UTC

❗️Reuters reports that a Democratic victory in both chambers of Congress on November 3 could open the way for new US aid to Ukraine. The article says such legislation would likely have the two-thirds majorities needed to override a Trump veto. Democrats could also move against Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russian diesel and waive sanctions on Russian energy. #Ukraine

2026-10-24 13:36:20 UTC

Republicans Brian Fitzpatrick and Don Bacon, joined by Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, introduced the “Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act.” The bill would revoke the Treasury waiver allowing purchases of Russian diesel, bar similar future exemptions for Russian oil products, strengthen enforcement of the 2022 import ban and increase intelligence sharing with Ukraine under congressional oversight. #Ukraine

Zelensky says Russia used three ballistic missiles with cluster warheads against Kyiv overnight. One struck Pechersk between the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra and St. Vvedensky Monastery, damaging monastery buildings, homes, shops and cafes. He says the warheads detonate in the air and affect everything within a roughly 400-meter diameter, and that no military target was nearby. #Ukraine

❗️Denmark will provide a $112.6 million state-backed loan guarantee to Fire Point's Danish subsidiary to help launch production in Southern Jutland. The financing will be provided through Denmark's Export and Investment Fund because the war prevents the company from borrowing on normal terms. Copenhagen says locating Ukrainian defense production abroad will better protect it from Russian attacks and strengthen cooperation between Ukrainian and Danish defense industries. #Ukraine

A joint CSIS and George W. Bush Institute report says 12,000 North Korean workers have been sent to Russia’s Alabuga special economic zone to assemble Shahed-type attack drones. The report says they are paid $2.50 an hour, while Pyongyang takes 70% to 90% of their wages. Russian youth and other foreign workers are also employed there, with researchers alleging coercive labor practices affecting multiple groups. #Russia

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he has no information about a missing US warning before Russia’s overnight ballistic attack on Kyiv, but said previous cases involved “software problems.” Rubio also rejected Zelensky’s statement that the US paused some intelligence sharing earlier this week. “There was no suspension,” he said, adding that Zelensky should focus on bringing the war to an end. #US

Marco Rubio says Ukraine currently has no access to Starshield and has requested access so it can conduct deep strikes inside Russia. Ukrainian sources dispute that, saying Starshield had already supported middle-strike and interceptor drones operating inside Ukraine. They say Starlink remains blocked inside Russia and that the recent restrictions instead affected Ukrainian operations on Ukrainian territory. #Ukraine

❗️The Trump administration is proposing that Europe resume buying more Russian gas as part of a potential Ukraine peace settlement, according to the NYT. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have raised restarting pipelines that carried Russian gas through Ukraine in talks with Ukrainian and European officials. The proposal would generate revenue for Moscow and Ukraine, while European officials have pushed back against reversing years of efforts to reduce dependence on Russian gas. #Ukraine

Ukraine now has six companies producing turbojet engines at serial scale, according to Brave1 defense cluster head Andrii Hrytseniuk. Eleven Ukrainian companies are developing such engines in total. Hrytseniuk said no private Ukrainian company produced them before Brave1 launched a dedicated funding program in 2025. Establishing production took more than a year and a half. #Ukraine

❗️Zelensky says Starlink restrictions remain active in Ukraine, disrupting interceptor drones, logistics and military operations. According to him, connections cut out completely above 161 km/h, causing drones to be lost. Ukraine then tested vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals inside the EU at speeds above 180 km/h, where he says the systems worked normally. Zelensky said Kyiv has logs and evidence and concluded the restrictions inside Ukraine are deliberate. #Ukraine

Ukraine’s SkyFall has developed StarGate, a heavy CASEVAC drone designed to evacuate wounded troops from frontline kill zones under fire and across minefields. The six-rotor drone can carry up to 150 kg, fly 15 km one way and reach 105 km/h. It uses Starlink and SkyFall’s L-Link, while integrated AI allows navigation without GPS and can return the aircraft to safety if communications are completely lost. Frontline testing began with a Ukrainian combat brigade in October. #Ukraine

Zelensky says Russia attacked six Ukrainian energy facilities during the day. He said Ukraine struck no energy facilities in Russia overnight because Trump had announced an energy ceasefire between the two countries. Meanwhile, Zelensky said Russia continued striking Ukrainian fuel stations, energy infrastructure and other facilities, including a gas production site. “I think this was Putin’s response to President Trump,” he said, calling for more pressure on Russia. #Ukraine

The Kremlin is seeking to capitalize on Trump’s attacks on Zelensky. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin would be ready to order Russia not to strike Ukraine on election day if Kyiv decides to hold a vote. At the same time, Peskov rejected Zelensky’s proposed 60-day ceasefire, claiming it is intended not to facilitate elections but to allow Ukraine to regroup, recover and continue the war. #Ukraine

The Kyiv Independent paints a stark picture of how the past few days unfolded. Ukrainian officials say they arrived in Miami to discuss a reciprocal energy ceasefire, only to learn Trump was preparing to ease sanctions on Russian diesel exports. They say Washington then pressed Kyiv to stop refinery strikes and threatened to cut intelligence sharing. Ukraine refused to commit to a unilateral halt without reciprocal Russian action. “It felt like a trap,” one senior official said. #Ukraine

❗️Germany will not follow the US in easing sanctions on Russian fuel and will continue enforcing its existing restrictions, Reuters reports. Germany’s Economy Ministry said the country is fully independent of Russian fuel and is working on additional restrictions against Moscow. The ministry also reaffirmed that Germany will continue supporting Ukraine. #Russia

2026-10-10 07:01:36 UTC

❗️And here we are. Just like expected. A Ukrainian official claimed that during recent talks, US envoys Witkoff and Kushner threatened that Trump could cut off Ukraine from U.S. intelligence if it continued to ignore his requests to stop hitting Russian refineries, Axios tells. The U.S. official denied such a threat was made. #Ukraine

UN Secretary-General António Guterres says the UN lacks sufficient leverage to make parties to current conflicts take its peace initiatives seriously. In an Al Jazeera interview, he warned that geopolitical divisions have paralyzed the Security Council and said violations of international law by major powers create an environment of impunity. Guterres also called for UN reform, arguing that the current Security Council essentially represents the world as it existed after World War II.
