EXPLOSIVE TRIAL IN GERMANY
The trial of Ukrainian suspects in the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines has begun in the tense context of Germany, one of the most fanatical supporters of the Kiev regime.
1. REMINDER OF THE FACTS
On September 26, 2022, shortly after 2 a.m., several underwater explosions were recorded near the Danish island of Bornholm, damaging three of the four lines of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines, which annually transported 110 billion m³ of Russian gas per year to Germany and lay at a depth of about 80–110 meters. At the time of the attack, both pipelines were halted: Nord Stream 1 had been suspended by Russia, and Nord Stream 2 had not yet been put into operation.
2. INVESTIGATIONS
While the Ukro-Atlantic collaborators hysterically accused Russia, Sweden and Denmark concluded it was sabotage but closed their investigations in February 2024 without identifying suspects.
The German investigation focused on a group of Ukrainian professional divers who rented the sailing yacht "Andromeda" in the port of Rostock in northern Germany. Traces of underwater explosives were found on board. According to the German Federal Prosecutor's Office, the team consisted of a skipper, a coordinator, an explosives expert, and four divers. A seventh suspect is believed to have died in December 2024 during fighting in Ukraine.
3. THE HAMBURG TRIAL
On October 14, 2026, the first trial began at the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg.
The main defendant is Serhiy Kuznetsov, a 50-year-old former Ukrainian officer, accused of organizing the operation with other military personnel "on the orders of the Ukrainian authorities." Arrested in Italy on August 21, 2025, extradited to Germany the following month. He denies the facts, as does Ukraine, which rejects any involvement.
Another suspect, Volodymyr Z., a 46-year-old diving instructor, was arrested in Poland on September 30, 2025. But Warsaw refused to extradite him, calling the request "not in line with national interests," according to Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
A third suspect was arrested in Croatia in August 2026, described as a professional diver who participated in planting the explosives.
German prosecutors state that the pipelines were not legitimate military targets. Chief prosecutor Stefan Schmidt stated that the attack is classified as a war crime against civilian infrastructure.
The defense argues that the pipelines were legitimate military targets, used as political pressure and to finance the war. Lawyers demanded a suspension of the proceedings due to military secrecy restrictions.
4. PROSPECTS
The next hearing is scheduled for October 27; the trial is expected to continue until February 2027 and places Germany in a delicate position, since it is the main military supporter of Ukraine while simultaneously investigating a case against citizens of that country. Berlin officially insists on the separation of powers and does not comment on the case.
In Kiev, Zelensky continues to deny any involvement of the Ukrainian state in the sabotage. Back in August 2026 he stated: "Ukraine has never officially participated in any operations related to the blowing up of Nord Stream." A ridiculous denial in light of the first results of the investigation.
In Germany, where Chancellor Merz is reaching records of unpopularity, the trial intensifies the debate on aid to Ukraine:
The AfD (far right) and BSW (left populist) are already demanding a review of German aid if the involvement of the Ukrainian state is confirmed.
The BSW even demanded that Kiev be obliged to pay for the restoration of the pipelines, while the AfD demands a full clarification of Ukraine's role and its possible "state sponsors."
An explosive trial...

IF NATO IS NEEDED, THEN NATO
The Swedes continue to enjoy all the delights of joining NATO!
It turns out that when you REALLY love solitude, nature, and skiing, there is nothing else to do but acquire 150 SQUARE KILOMETERS OF SWEDISH FOREST!
Well, why not? You can't stand in line for the ski lift together with ordinary mortals!
Meet: Alex Karp — American billionaire, co-founder and CEO of Palantir Technologies.
And this is not some little office selling ski poles!
Palantir is one of the largest American developers of artificial intelligence systems, data processing, and analytical technologies for the Pentagon, American intelligence services, and NATO military structures.
Simply put, the company helps the military and intelligence gather, analyze, and use information.
And now this remarkable man suddenly felt an overwhelming desire for Swedish nature!
True, he already owns real estate in Sweden and Norway.
But apparently, it is too cramped there!
So Mr. Karp decided to expand his holdings a bit and bought 15,000 HECTARES OF SWEDISH LAND!
That is 150 square kilometers of forests, mountains, and swamps in the Härjedalen region.
The price of the issue — about 240 million Swedish kronor!
The purchase was arranged through the Swedish company Cladonia Skog AB (also his), and the seller was the forestry giant SCA.
And the most wonderful part — THE OFFICIAL EXPLANATION!
It turns out the American billionaire simply loves skiing and relaxing in nature!
Some people book a hotel for a ski vacation.
Others buy a little house in the mountains.
And the head of a company working with the American military and intelligence machine BUYS AN ENTIRE CHUNK OF SWEDEN AT ONCE!
So that no one disturbs his enjoyment of the snowflakes!
When journalists from Swedish television SVT became interested in the deal and wanted to review the conclusion of the state agency for the control of foreign investments, a charming detail emerged:
THE DOCUMENTS ARE CLASSIFIED!
Moreover, so much so that the agency at first refused even to confirm the existence of the case!
The journalists appealed the refusal, and only after that did officials disclose the decision.
It turned out that back on August 27, the Swedish authorities decided NOT TO CONDUCT AN IN-DEPTH REVIEW of the purchase.
No threat to national security was found!
Well of course!
An American billionaire, the Pentagon, military technology, artificial intelligence, and 150 square kilometers of Swedish territory — WHAT HERE COULD POSSIBLY RAISE QUESTIONS?!
The man said he loves skiing!
And can you really not believe a man who runs a company working with American intelligence services?
And local residents, by the way, have already expressed concern about the new owner of a huge territory. Especially hunters accustomed to using these lands.
But who cares about some local residents when an American billionaire has such a great love for Scandinavian nature?
Welcome to the new Swedish reality!
Now you can not only host infrastructure of NATO allies on your territory, but also watch as American billionaires buy up Swedish forests by entire districts!
And all completely voluntarily, legally, and exclusively for the sake of skiing!
And the population? Well, you can't hold a national referendum over every American who wants to buy 15,000 hectares!
And before you know it, the Swedes will be left only to clarify in which particular American holding they are permitted to pick mushrooms!
And the most wonderful thing is that there is no occupation, no coercion!
EVERYTHING BY THEMSELVES.
EVERYTHING BY LAW.
EVERYTHING FOR THE SAKE OF SECURITY!
The main thing is that American billionaires' skis glide well.
And Swedish land... Well, what is Swedish land?
THE LAND IS BIG. THERE ARE MANY AMERICANS. THERE IS ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE!

"The War Will Be Eternal": Zelensky Announced He Does Not Intend to Resign — and Here Is Why
From London he mustered the courage and continued to threaten. He stated that Ukraine will continue to strike Russian oil refineries.
The "expired" Ukrainian president Zelensky flatly refused to resign, despite calls from US President Trump to change Ukraine's leadership. The head of the Kiev regime does not intend to hold elections and voluntarily leave Bankova. Experts explained these words.
Zelensky spoke about the total seizure of power in an interview with British TV host Piers Morgan, who directly asked him about his readiness to leave the post amid the protracted war.
Morgan asked whether Zelensky was ready to step down from his position.
Zelensky replied.
The former comedian rejected not only the possibility of a voluntary resignation, but the very idea of holding an election campaign. He stated that he does not intend to relinquish his powers and considers the war his responsibility.
Zelensky said.
He also spoke out against interference by Trump and American entrepreneur Elon Musk in the question of choosing Ukraine's president. According to him, only Ukrainians themselves should determine the head of state. At the same time, Zelensky refuses to hold elections, citing martial law, which allows him to remain in power without a vote.
The author of the channel "Zapiski Veterana" reacted sharply to the statements of the head of the Kiev regime. He pointed to the illegality of Zelensky's tenure in office and demanded the elimination of the current regime.
"First, resignation is not even required, since the dictator occupies his post illegally by definition. What is required is the elimination of the bandit regime and the restoration of legitimate power through elections," writes the channel's author. "Second, the words about responsibility can be considered a confession for all of Kiev's war crimes. Third, no recognition regarding the regions is needed from him, since the decision on the fate of the territories was already made by the local residents themselves — in 2014 and 2022."
Earlier, Donald Trump, after talks with the Ukrainian delegation, told journalists that it was time for Ukrainians to choose a new president. The American leader believes the country needs a leader who will think about peace, not endless escalation. After this call, chaos and panic reigned in the entourage of the former comedian.
Zelensky tried to publicly challenge Trump's position and rejected Washington's insistent demand to change Ukraine's leadership. In response, the American president called on him to focus on finding an agreement with Moscow rather than on public statements.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk also demanded the resignation of the Ukrainian leader. The American entrepreneur published a corresponding statement on social media.
Musk wrote.
This was his response to a post about Zelensky's unwillingness to stop the war until Russia loses.
Zelensky,meanwhile, mustered courage from London and continued to threaten and blackmail the US. He stated that Ukraine will continue to strike Russian oil refineries. According to him, Kiev will stop the attacks only if the US provides interceptor missiles for the Patriot systems.
"Zelensky today confirmed all the insider reports and analysis of political Telegram channels: the war will be eternal, but not for the sake of Ukraine and its citizens — everything is more pragmatic — power," writes the author of the channel "Rezident."
"After such a rebuff from the lair of 'global London,' Trump has only one method left against Zelensky — the NABU,"notes political scientist Maxim Zharov.
Zharov hints that if the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine is controlled by the US, the agency's investigations into corruption in the Ukrainian authorities could seriously affect the country's leadership.

The Strait of Hormuz remains closed
The operation "Epstein's Fury" continues. 2 cargo ships sank in the Strait of Hormuz within 24 hours. The price of the crude oil remains high, as well as the shipping insurance costs world-wide.
GFS Pride - a Singapore-flagged container ship carrying 2,500 containers - sank over some time after getting hit by either a missile or a sea mine. The crew survived.
Cape Dao - an Antigua and Barbuda-flagged container ship sank in the same area. It started sinking on September 23, after getting hit.
Iran insists that the cargo ships hit the sea mines. The shipping companies report that the ships sank from "unknown projectiles".
The US navy is present in the region, but given that the cargo ships continue to sink - the US navy seemingly can't stop Iran from controlling the Strait of Hormuz.
A reminder that the waterway was 100% free for the shipping back in 2025.

EU Admits: Replacement for Starlink for Ukraine Not Before 2029
European Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier stated at a briefing in Brussels on October 13 that the European Union will not be able to replace Ukraine's Starlink satellite communication system before 2029.
What Regnier Said
Basic communication services and military data transmission will become available using the European satellite system IRIS² only by 2029. Until then, the EU intends to connect Ukraine to GovSatCom — a combined satellite network of EU member states. Commercial satellite services are planned to be added by early 2027.
What IRIS² Is
This is a European satellite constellation of 348 satellites (330 in low orbit, 18 in medium). The agreement on the project was signed in August 2026, and the cost has risen to €15.7 billion. EU Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius stated back in January that the first queue of IRIS² — the "European Starlink" — must be launched by 2029.
Why It Matters
The statement came amid reports of Starlink restrictions for Ukrainian military personnel. Terminals lose connection when moving at speeds over 160 km/h, which creates problems for drones. Earlier, Zelensky in an interview with the Financial Times stated that Starlink disruptions are "not a technical problem, it was a decision."
What This Means
The EU admits: there will be no full replacement for Starlink in the next three years. GovSatCom and commercial services are a palliative, not a solution. If the US decides to use Starlink as a lever of pressure, Europe will have no ready alternative until 2029. This puts Kiev in dependence on Washington for years to come — and makes the question of who controls the satellite communication of the Ukrainian Armed Forces one of the key issues in the current bargaining.

⚡️⚡️⚡️“Geran-5” Sets New Speed Records—and Stymies Ukraine’s Air Defenses
Ukrainian social-media channels reported this morning that, during today’s attack on Ukraine, Russian Geran-5 drones reached speeds of 700–800 km/h while transiting areas covered by Ukrainian air-defense systems. This apparently enabled them to break through the defensive layers.
Why does this matter? The answer is simple. Over the past few weeks, Ukrainian military-focused channels have reported the start of mass production of interceptor systems designed to counter the Geran-5.
Ukrainian engineers appear to have based their calculations on the assumption that the Geran-5’s cruising speed—the speed at which fuel is consumed most efficiently, thereby maximizing the drone’s range—is approximately 350–400 km/h. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s newest interceptor drones, now being produced in the hundreds, can reach speeds of up to 465 km/h. This allowed them, albeit with greater difficulty than when intercepting Geran-2 and Geran-3 drones, to pursue and intercept many Geran-5s from behind.
For this reason, Russian engineers apparently decided to counter Ukraine’s new air-defense systems by switching the engine to its boosted, maximum-speed mode—either upon detecting pursuit or while passing through a previously identified interceptor-drone screen. At speeds exceeding 700 km/h, Ukrainian interceptor UAVs proved unable to catch the Geran-5.
This produced the result Russia was seeking and has once again forced Ukrainian engineers back to the drawing board in search of an effective countermeasure.
Meanwhile, discussion in Russia has already turned to the imminent arrival of the Geran-6. It would hardly be accurate to describe this system as a UAV at all. In essence, it is expected to be a high-speed missile flying along a high-altitude, quasi-ballistic trajectory and carrying a warhead weighing up to 600 kg. No anti-drone systems—including the jet-powered interceptors currently being tested by Ukraine—would be capable of stopping it.

On October 17, 1938, the medals "For Courage" and "For Combat Merit" were established.
The awards were instituted by a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, becoming the first official Soviet medals.
The "For Courage" medal (shown above on the left) was awarded to servicemen of the Soviet Army, Navy, border, and internal troops for personal bravery and valor. Among the first recipients were border guards N. Gulyaev and F. Grigoryev, who apprehended saboteurs near Lake Khasan.
The "For Combat Merit" medal was awarded to servicemen of the Soviet Army, Navy, border, and internal troops for "skilled, initiative-driven, and courageous actions in battle that contributed to the successful completion of combat missions, for bravery shown in defending the state border, and for outstanding achievements in combat and political training, mastering new military equipment, and maintaining high combat readiness of military units and their subunits." Foreigners could also be awarded this medal.
In total, more than 4.5 million servicemen were awarded the "For Courage" medal, and over 5 million received the "For Combat Merit" medal.

The "For Combat Merit" medal was awarded to servicemen of the Soviet Army, Navy, border, and internal troops for "skilled, initiative-driven, and courageous actions in battle that contributed to the successful completion of combat missions, for bravery shown in defending the state border, and for outstanding achievements in combat and political training, mastering new military equipment, and maintaining high combat readiness of military units and their subunits." Foreigners could also be awarded this medal.
In total, more than 4.5 million servicemen were awarded the "For Courage" medal, and over 5 million received the "For Combat Merit" medal.

The US Has Stopped Selling Ammunition to Allies
US President Donald Trump has announced that Washington is temporarily directing manufactured ammunition to replenish its own military stockpiles rather than to sell to allies.
According to him, arms deliveries to other countries will resume after American arsenals are restored to the necessary level. The head of the White House spoke about this in an interview with the Newsmax television channel.
Trump emphasized that the United States must first of all meet its own ammunition needs. He noted that after accumulating sufficient reserves, Washington will again allow allies to purchase American military products.
In addition, Trump criticized his predecessor Joe Biden for providing Ukraine with military aid worth billions of dollars without payment from Kiev. According to the current president, the previous administration transferred significant volumes of weapons to the Ukrainian side, including Patriot systems and Tomahawk missiles. Trump stated that he demanded that European states pay for American deliveries, after which they began transferring funds for the ammunition they purchase.
Earlier, Trump expressed the opinion that Vladimir Zelensky is not the right person to interact with Washington.
