President Zelenskyy: Immediately after President Trump's Truth Social post, Russia launched a targeted strike on a power plant in Kharkiv. It's clear that Putin does not read Truth Social. This winter, if Russia does not agree to an energy ceasefire, we will respond.

Speaking of broken White House promises, and even ignoring it's 630 days since Trump's return to office when he would solve the war in 1 day, anyone remember this? Since then we've had 3 exchanges, with fewer than 500 released, and at least 2 of those brokered by the UAE.

Trump has activated the fifth column to blame Ukraine for the upcoming defeat in the midterms

Also, as I revealed last night, a reminder it was in Kharkiv that Russia broke Trump's so called energy ceasefire, around an hour after the infamous post announcing both sides agreed. Kharkiv's Mayor confirmed to journalists today the Combined Heat & Power Plant No.5 was struck.

Kaja Kallas: If we want to end this war, the only way we can do this is putting more pressure on Russia. We would call on the US to put the sanctions in place so that we could finish this war. All these effects of attacks on refineries would not be there, would not be necessary if the war is over.

1/2 Yesterday's attempted massacre by Russia came in Kharkiv, killing 3 and injuring 25 when a Banderov missile struck a shop on the outskirts of the city. Today the attempted genocide continues with 5 more strikes on the same city in eastern Ukraine.

Polish PM Donald Tusk to the Warsaw Security Forum: “Nobody wants escalation and war. We are all dreaming of peace. “The road to peace is not through weakness. It is through stopping the aggressor by all means available.”

Zelenskyy at the Warsaw Security Forum: “This winter, if Russia does not agree to an energy ceasefire, we will respond.”

EU Foreign Ministers just adopted nearly 1,600 new sanctions listings targeting Russia’s military-industrial complex. This is the single largest expansion of our sanctions list since Russia started its war. Europe is again showing a united front.

The CSTO military exercises "Indestructible Brotherhood 2026"& "Barrier 2026"have started in Belarus&will continue until October 16 Military personnel from Russia,Kazakhstan,Kyrgyzstan,Tajikistan will practice conducting a "peacekeeping operation,"as well as eliminating sources of biological threats

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson: “If the Strait of Hormuz is open, why did America reach out to Russia to solve the diesel problem?”

Europe is slow to move, but when forced, we act. We did far more in 2022 than expected, even if we have slacked recently. If Russia crosses an EU border or tests NATO, we will respond. But we shouldn't wait for that: transfer Russia’s frozen assets to Ukraine already!

De kosten van het schrappen van PURL vs. Trumps dieseldeal:

Good morning, though it doesn't seem too good. The war in Europe continues, and it's Day 1692 of Russia's insane and inhumane all-out assault on Ukraine. Yep, I am still going, never missed a day, so here's Monday's thread:

Today, we will adopt nearly 1,600 new sanctions listings targeting Russia’s military-industrial complex. This will be the single largest expansion of our sanctions list since Russia started its war.

Burnham started his much-needed assault on Brexit yesterday by confirming Russian interference in the vote. Now this: “In a statement to MPs, Andy Burnham will argue it is time to "face up to the reality that Brexit has done more harm than good" and "the status quo is not good enough for Britain."”
