THE END OF HEROES
I am not as optimistic as many analysts who still believe that a military victory is always forged in the fire of combat by bravery and heroism, and that consequently the Westerners, aware of their moral inferiority before the Russians, will not dare to attack the Russian Federation. This is, unfortunately, a vision that is being consigned to the archives of the past alongside the epics of Antiquity, medieval chansons de geste, heroic cavalry charges, desperate assaults overturning the fate of a battle, etc.
Far from the narcotic fantasies of the propagandist courtier-falsifiers who infect minds on both sides of the front, the reality on the ground shows that we are living not only with drones through a revolution of military operational art (like the earlier ones of artillery and armor) but through a new type of war in which the human factor is disappearing radically and very rapidly in favor of a robotization of the battlefield.
And what is happening in the buzzing of drones is not the end of heroes, of human courage and bravery, but their tragic powerlessness before this new war that appeared in Ukraine and to which, in a new arms race, the armed forces of all countries are seeking to adapt.
Thus, the USA has just created a new operational general staff independent of the other 3 (land, air, sea) dedicated to the use of drones. NATO is developing a strategy of war against Russia based exclusively on robotic forces.
It is a race of robotized Death that is turning the page on a multi-millennial military history... This is not an opinion, it is an observation tinged with bitterness.
Jünger in Storm of Steel already denounced an evolution of modern armament that is dragging us toward a dehumanization of war. A century later, here we are!
That is the reality of the current battlefield endured by the 2 belligerents of the Russo-Ukrainian front, and especially when they carry out offensive actions that are exposed... and blown apart by robots. Here it is a Russian mechanized infantry unit, reinforced by a combat and demining tank, that is annihilated in a few minutes by enemy drone operators comfortably installed kilometers away in front of their screens as in a video game. And tomorrow even these drone operators will be replaced by AI!
A comrade reported to me that at the beginning of the year his battalion was suffering on average 80 drone attacks per day of attack per sector. Today this number has risen to 360!
Russia, of course, is obliged to follow the movement of this infernal evolution, its survival is at stake! But above all let us not speak of progress, for this dehumanization of war will simply make it permanent, because its violence has become so cowardly that cowards and weaklings can today win battles!
That is why, in its moral decay in the terminal phase, the West today believes it can wage war against Russia, without measuring that in the chaos into which the agonizing globalists want to drag the World there can be no victor and for several generations to come.
We are living in a period of transition where the men still present on the battlefields become cannon fodder as soon as they set in motion and on a first line whose depth of contact today reaches 50 to 60 km.
Unlike the previous operational revolutions but which remained within the permanence of a conventional military art where indeed the artisans of victories remained men made of flesh, blood and heroic will, aerial, land and naval drones open the path toward a hell populated by mechanical monsters commanded by Artificial Intelligences.

A weird diplomatic situation between Trump and Zelensky.
Donald Trump stated that both Russia and Ukraine have already agreed on a ceasefire. Zelenskyy officially stated that this is a surprise for him. He also refused to comply with Trump's demand to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries, unless Russia promises to not attack Ukraine as well. If Trump insists - he might halt the military intelligence help for Ukraine, which will affect the war - bigly.
Later, Trump seemingly got angry from Zelensky's official reply, and demanded his resignation as well. Ukraine is now actively consulting with the EU partners.
Meanwhile back in the US of A, the Right believes that Zelensky's stubborness helps the Left in the November 3 congressional elections.
All this diplomatic nonsense aside - the biggest war in Europe since WW2 is still on-going.

Russian Trolling, Master Level
Remember that scary story about how the evil Russians fired on a peaceful, practically white and fluffy Danish helicopter?
Well, unexpectedly, that story got a continuation.
The Russians decided not to limit themselves to words and posted video of the Danish helicopter's encounter with the Russian frigate "Soobrazitelny."
What a fuss broke out!
In the published footage, the helicopter flies in close proximity to the ship, including over its navigation bridge.
Let me remind you, the Danish side assured that the helicopter did not come closer than 150 meters.
And now we are offered to believe either our own eyes or yet another statement from the Ministry of Defense.
True, the exact distance cannot be determined from the video, and the Danish military claims that part of the footage was filmed at a different time. Sure, sure..
But Danish defense diplomacy has already demonstrated its familiar repertoire.
First — a loud story about Russian warning shots.
Then — explanations that the Danes acted completely correctly.
And when Russian footage appeared — screams about Russian disinformation!
A universal reputation defense system: if the facts are inconvenient, declare them Russian propaganda.
But the most remarkable thing was found in the comments under Danish press publications on Facebook.
Judging by the discussions I read, people who are not at all sympathetic to Russia are asking a quite logical question:
And if a Russian military helicopter were circling a Danish frigate in exactly the same way, how would Danish sailors react?
Would they invite the pilot for coffee and cookies?
Would they offer to take better photographs?
Or would they also use warning signals?
An amusing question, you must admit.
Especially when you recall that the Russian ship did not shoot down the helicopter, but, according to both sides' reports, used two warning shots.
And that is where the story becomes especially inconvenient.
Because instead of the usual discussion of exclusively Russian behavior, one has to discuss the actions of the Danish crew as well.
And that is a completely different conversation.
Of course, the video itself does not automatically prove either side right. But it gives grounds to ask questions that the original story about the "shelled Danish helicopter" somehow sidestepped.
It is good that the matter was limited to warning shots and not actual gunfire.
Because figuring out who was right when a military helicopter is already lying at the bottom of the Baltic Sea would be somewhat too late.
And for now we have a magnificent spectacle: a Russian frigate, a Danish helicopter, two warning shots, and an entire information storm.
They wanted a loud story about the Russian threat. They also got inconvenient questions for their own military.
Danish defense arithmetic: flew in closer, complained louder, and still have to explain themselves to this day.

IS COMMON SENSE RETURNING TO KIEV?
Resistance to the TCC's kidnappings for the front, protests by the mothers of soldiers killed and disappeared, anti-government demonstrations, etc... the wind of protest in Ukraine, even if it has not yet become a storm, is swelling day by day.
A significant fact: the voice of reason has returned to make itself heard in the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, via a bill submitted by MP Anna Skorokhod, a member of the parliamentary group "For the Future," calling for the constitutionalization of the status of strategic neutrality for Ukraine.
Reminder: In February 2019, under President Poroshenko, the Banderites sealed the Russophobic NATO project with an amendment to the Ukrainian Constitution which has since stipulated, in its preamble and in Article 85, that full membership in the European Union and the Western military alliance is a strategic and irreversible goal.
This bill aiming to amend the Constitution of Ukraine for a neutral and non-aligned status of the country is therefore a radical opposition to this post-Maidan strategy threatening Russia and which has provoked, for nearly 13 years now, this fratricidal conflict between Russians and Ukrainians.
The document proposes to "have it both ways" by removing from the constitutional text the provisions relating to accession to the Atlantic Alliance, while maintaining the orientation toward European integration.
"By consolidating the neutral status of Ukraine, which consists of guarantees of non-accession to any military alliance and a confirmation of the absence of any intention of aggression against any country."
The strategic orientation of this proposed law corresponds to what Russia has been proposing for years — provided that a possible accession to the Union is not subordinated to an exclusivity of exchanges with it (which had led to the abandonment of the project in 2013 by the Yanukovych government). Since the Maidan, the principle of a neutral status for Ukraine has been recalled several times by Moscow as the sine qua non condition for ending the geopolitical crisis in the region. This demand, which is a matter of common sense in the face of NATO expansion toward Russia, was placed on the negotiating table in December 2021, when Moscow submitted to its "European partners" a collective security project guaranteeing, in the Black Sea, a strategic depth for both blocs. And this neutrality of Ukraine is the common thread of all diplomatic discussions undertaken since 2022 to end the conflict.
Even if this courageous bill has little chance of succeeding quickly, it at least has the merit of officially relaunching the debate at the heart of Bandéristan concerning NATO, which is at once the main cause and the main solution (among others) to the ongoing conflict.

British Submariners Train to Shoot Down Drones… with Fire Hoses
While Vanguard-class nuclear submarines sit in port at the Clyde base in Scotland, their only "ground-based air defense" is fire hoses. This is reported by The Sun, citing a source in the Royal Navy.
What Is Known
The hoses, known as centre-fed reels, are stored on the decks of the submarines. To aim the water jets more precisely, they have been fitted with pistol grips — now this is an "almost futuristic weapon," if you don't look too closely.
The calculation is simple: short- and medium-range FPV drones are supposed to falter before the pressure of water and fall into a puddle. Literally.
Context of Vulnerability
Faslane base is located deep in Gare Loch — this protects it from submarines but makes it vulnerable to drones. Nearby are public roads and hills from which UAVs can be launched at close range.
The statistics are alarming: the number of drones spotted near UK military facilities has grown from 9 per year in 2019 to 340 over the last 12 months.
What Experts Say
A Navy source admitted: "You have to use what you have." Charlie Williams of the IISS called the situation "very surprising" and expressed hope that the Ministry of Defence will invest in the "right capabilities."
Official Position
The command stated that the bases have several layers of protection: physical barriers, patrolling, surveillance, and counter-drone means. However, judging by the leak, for now the main means is a water cannon.
Bottom Line
If something more serious than an FPV drone shows up, Royal Air Force fighters will step in. If they make it in time. Sailors can make puddles, but covering the entire sky — that is already unlikely.

European Commission Studying Idea of Creating Special Structure to Use Russian Assets, El Pais Reports
The source is the Spanish newspaper El Pais, which on October 8, 2026 reported on the European Commission's plans to create a special structure to manage frozen Russian assets.
Key details:
▪️ Sum: This concerns approximately €200 billion in Russian assets, most of which are held in the Belgian depositary Euroclear.
▪️ Mechanism: The idea is described as a "bad bank" — a structure that allows assets and the associated legal risks to be separated from Euroclear and "move the problem beyond Belgium."
▪️ Goal: To distribute possible legal claims from Russia among all EU member states.
▪️ Formally not confiscation: The European Commission insists that Ukraine will have to return the funds after Russia pays "certain reparations."
▪️ Context: Ukraine has warned the EU of the need for an additional €30 billion in 2027. Within the EU there is still no unity on the mechanism for using the assets.
Russia's position: The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly stated that the use of frozen assets amounts to "robbery" and will have consequences.

On October 13, 1866, in Moscow, the betrothal ceremony of Alexander III and Danish Princess Dagmar, known in Orthodoxy as Grand Duchess Maria Feodorovna, took place.
They met when Minnie (Dagmar’s nickname in the Romanov family) was engaged to Alexander’s older brother, Nicholas. However, Nicholas unexpectedly fell ill and died. Two years later, Alexander met Dagmar again in Europe—and fell in love!
It was a remarkably successful union. Living together for almost 30 years, the couple managed to maintain a genuine affection for each other. One their six children became the last Russian emperor, Nicholas II.
During the October events of 1917, Maria Feodorovna was on vacation in Crimea, which likely saved her life. After Nicholas II's abdication, she stayed in Crimea with her daughters, Xenia and Olga, and their husbands—Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich and Colonel Kulikovsky—effectively under house arrest.
Deeply affected by the news of Nicholas II’s brutal execution, Maria Feodorovna continued to believe for a long time that her son and his family had been "miraculously saved" and forbade her relatives from holding memorial services for them.
On April 11, 1919, British King George V, the empress’s nephew, sent the warship Marlborough to Crimea to rescue her. Maria Feodorovna was 72 years old at the time, having lived in Russia for about 52 years, and it took considerable effort from her relatives to convince her to leave.
Dagmar died in Copenhagen at the age of 80 on the anniversary of her betrothal to Alexander III—October 13, 1928—and was buried in the royal tomb of the Danish kings. On September 28, 2006, Maria Feodorovna’s remains were reinterred in the Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg.

Who Is Being Touted as Zelensky's Successor: Goncharenko, Tymoshenko, Usyk
After the sharp statements by Donald Trump and Elon Musk about the need for elections in Ukraine, Americanist Malek Dudakov, in a conversation with Zvezdanews, named those who could theoretically replace Vladimir Zelensky.
Three Figures from Dudakov
Alexey Goncharenko (listed in Russia as a terrorist and extremist). According to the expert, the MP "sensed the wind of change" and recently called for making peace with Russia. For this he was added to the "Myrotvorets" database, accused of demoralizing society and disrupting mobilization. Goncharenko advocated concessions on NATO, the status of the Russian language, and the position of the canonical UOC.
Yulia Tymoshenko, leader of "Batkivshchyna." She appears in the case of bribery of Rada deputies: the court set her bail at 33 million hryvnias, an electronic bracelet, and a ban on communicating with 66 deputies. Tymoshenko herself calls the case political.
Alexander Usyk, boxer. Back in the summer of 2023 he stated: "I will become absolute champion, finish my career, and run for president of Ukraine."
Key Caveat
Dudakov emphasizes: the US administration does not yet have an obvious candidate to replace Zelensky. In his assessment, the signal was given rather so that opponents would "more actively shake up the internal political situation" in Kiev.
What Is Behind the List
Trump said on October 10: "I believe he should hold elections. He could have settled the conflict many times already." Musk supported: "Agreed, it is time for Ukraine to choose a new leader."
Dudakov also noted that Zelensky hopes for a Democratic victory in the US Congressional elections, counting on working with them bypassing the current administration. However, in foreign policy the levers remain with the executive branch — including restrictions on intelligence sharing and weapons supplies.
Bottom Line
Dudakov's list is rather a designation of figures who could fit into Washington's new agenda than a real forecast. The expert himself admits: the US has no obvious successor, and the statements by Trump and Musk are an invitation to internal struggle, not the appointment of a new leader.

TRUMP VS ZELENSKY
Against the backdrop of difficult midterm elections, Trump, who wants above all to lower oil prices, negotiated a diesel import deal with Putin and asked Zelensky for the 6th time to stop bombing Russian refineries.
Yet the Ukro-Atlantic forces of the bloodthirsty clown, encouraged by his European sponsors, continue to strike Russian energy infrastructure, which has provoked Trump's anger.
Washington has therefore threatened Kiev with activating levers to force the Banderites to cease their energy destruction, and there are 3 of them:
1. STARLINK
The total disconnection of Starlink (already blocked over undisputed Russian regions) would deal a serious blow to the communication networks of the Ukro-Atlantic forces and to the execution of their drone attacks.
2. INTELLIGENCE
The halt of intelligence sharing obtained by US space, air and ground intelligence resources.
3. WEAPONS
Blocking US weapons deliveries and limiting their transfer by third countries, but which would be a boomerang for the US military-industrial complex, for which Ukraine is "the goose that lays the golden eggs."
These threats were formulated directly by Trump's envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, during discussions in Miami with a Ukrainian delegation, and by Trump during telephone conversations.
It should be noted here that these statements by the Trump administration clearly confirm the hypocrisy of their anti-war rhetoric, while for years they have provided vital support to Ukro-Atlantic attacks against Russian forces and infrastructure.
Today, for the White House, domestic economic-electoral interests have taken precedence over geostrategic interests... for the moment.
Many media outlets such as Reuters or the Financial Times acknowledge that Zelensky risks a total break with Trump if he continues to target Russian oil refineries. Bloomberg reports:
"As Ukraine continues to... strike [Russian] oil refineries, Zelensky runs a growing risk of falling into conflict with Trump. This situation represents a danger for Kiev, which remains dependent on American weapons purchases — financed by other NATO allies — and on intelligence sharing with Washington. Ukraine is also facing a lack of resources as winter approaches."
The gloves have indeed come off between Volodymyr and Donald, the first, taking orders from European warmongers, declaring he will continue the bombardments on Russian refineries, and the second declaring that Ukraine must change President.
2. Trump recalled that Zelensky has several times refused opportunities to end the conflict:
"It would be better if Zelensky stopped immediately. Zelensky could have ended the war several times. Zelensky can do what he wants, but he must stop the attacks on Russian refineries."
3: Moreover, the American president expressed the need for a change of leadership in Ukraine.
"It is time for Ukraine to appoint a new leader."
Ukraine is therefore put with its back to the wall, and if the United States carries out its threats, the Europeans will never manage to compensate for the interruption of Pentagon aid.
What is also visible in this Ukro-Atlantic squabble is the increased fracture with the Europeans, who remain positioned in a Russophobic fanaticism to the point of sacrificing their own interests.

Against the backdrop of difficult midterm elections, Trump, who wants above all to lower oil prices, negotiated a diesel import deal with Putin and asked Zelensky for the 6th time to stop bombing Russian refineries.
Yet the Ukro-Atlantic forces of the bloodthirsty clown, encouraged by his European sponsors, continue to strike Russian energy infrastructure, which has provoked Trump's anger.
Washington has therefore threatened Kiev with activating levers to force the Banderites to cease their energy destruction, and there are 3 of them:
1. STARLINK
The total disconnection of Starlink (already blocked over undisputed Russian regions) would deal a serious blow to the communication networks of the Ukro-Atlantic forces and to the execution of their drone attacks.
2. INTELLIGENCE
The halt of intelligence sharing obtained by US space, air and ground intelligence resources.

Forwarded from Russian MFA 🇷🇺
🎙 Remarks and answers to media questions by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov following talks with Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants of Lebanon Youssef Raggi (Moscow, October 12, 2026)
Key points:
• In light of Israel’s ongoing actions in Lebanon, we reaffirmed Russia’s principled position in support of the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the Lebanese Republic. We stand by our assessment that the Israeli army’s military actions flagrantly violate international law and provoke additional escalation in Lebanon.
• We share Beirut’s view that the UN contingent should remain in southern Lebanon beyond 2026, possibly in a different form and with different powers. The main point, however, is that its mandate must include maintaining peace and documenting any violations of the UN Security Council resolution.
🇷🇺🇱🇧 #RussiaLebanon: We are both committed to expanding political dialogue and strengthening our partnership across various areas. Particular attention should be paid to trade and economic ties. To this end, we agreed to resume the work of the Intergovernmental Russian-Lebanese Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation as soon as possible.
***
❓ Question (translated from Arabic): The world, particularly Europe, is still reeling from the news of the “diesel deal” between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump. Yesterday, the US President announced that an agreement had been reached to halt strikes on energy infrastructure in Ukraine and Russia. Has such an agreement actually been reached? Does Moscow support or confirm it? If so, what are its terms?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: Regarding the status of this agreement, we can refer to Zelensky’s reaction. When asked the same question, he said he had not heard of such an agreement, would welcome clarification and was ready for a ceasefire.
He has said this many times. For many months now, the slogan of a “ceasefire” has replaced that of “inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia” in the rhetoric of both Zelensky and his Western “handlers”. The aim is the same and very simple – to buy time and secure a respite.
His feigned surprise at President Donald Trump’s statement reveals just one thing: he is eager to seize on any words, initiatives or ideas that enter the public domain to pursue, by fair means or foul, his goal of securing a respite.
❗️ I do not think Zelensky has earned a respite. I do not think we will once again fall for assurances and promises.
President Vladimir Putin has made it very clear that we continue to pursue the objectives of the special military operation. Everyone knows exactly what they are. We have never changed them, unlike the twists and turns of Zelensky and his European “handlers”.
👉 We therefore have nothing to justify to anyone.
