Somebody should stay away from windows:>A leading Russian bookmaker complained about the market falling due to sending a million people to “SVO”>Advisor to the CEO of Fonbet Nikolai Oganezov said that the Russian legal bookmaker market began to decline, because about a million Russians were sent to fight against Ukraine. “About a million people are now in the NWO. This is also a factor. People are busy with other things, they have no time for games,” he said at the AIS-2026 forum.>Oganezov added that 2025 became a period of stagnation for the market, and 2026 “will clearly show that the market has started to contract.”“All of this together influences the reduction of our audience,” noted the advisor to the general director of Fonbet. Earlier, ETSUPIS commercial director Artem Sychev reported that over the year the number of players on bets in Russia decreased by almost 500 thousand, and the number of active players decreased by approximately 100 thousand. In September 2022, a “partial” mobilization was announced in Russia, within which 300 thousand people were sent to the front. In 2023, according to Vladimir Putin, more than 300 thousand Russians entered into contracts with the Ministry of Defense. At the same time, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev cited a different figure - 420 thousand contract soldiers and another 80 thousand volunteers.>In 2024, according to Medvedev, about 450 thousand people entered into contracts with the Ministry of Defense, and another 40 thousand joined volunteer units. In 2025, according to him, the Russian army recruited 417 thousand contract soldiers.>The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) estimates the total losses of the Russian army from the beginning of a full-scale war to June 2026 at approximately 1.4 million people killed and disabled, unable to return to duty.

Imagine spending 50% of your budget on war and losing:>State media was banned from telling Russians about the scale of war spending in Putin’s new budget>Russian state media and Kremlin-loyal publications have received recommendations not to tell their audiences about the sharp increase in military spending in the draft Russian budget for 2027. In the manual, which Meduza reviewed, propagandists are instructed to focus on the state’s social obligations, pensions, construction of schools and kindergartens, and to compare the Russian budget deficit with the indicators of France, Great Britain and Germany. At the same time, talking about an increase in military spending and a reduction in a number of civilian items is prohibited. Employees of the presidential administration, as Meduza writes, also verbally called on employees of loyal media not to show “independent activity” when covering the budget and to use press releases and government messages in their materials. For comments they are allowed to contact only pro-government experts.>On September 30, the government submitted a draft budget to the State Duma. According to Reuters, in 2027, 17.1 trillion rubles are planned to be spent on “national defense”—6.9% of GDP and 35% of all budget expenditures. This is 27% more than the parameters provided for by the current budget law. At the same time, spending on social policy will be reduced by 7%, education - by 6%, healthcare - by 6.8%, national economy - by 7.4%.>Alexandra Prokopenko, a senior researcher at the Carnegie Berlin Center, estimates the share of all expenditures on the security bloc, including the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian National Guard and the intelligence services, at 44% of the budget.>At the same time, spending on government-controlled media will increase by 43.2%. 4,6 trillion more rubles in 2027 are planned to be spent on servicing the public debt - 21.6% more than provided for by the current budget.

1/?Ukraine is rushing to build a defensive shield against Russia's latest jet-powered strike drones, but military officials and industry executives warn it may take up to half a year to field a viable interceptor fleet, leaving key infrastructure vulnerable ahead of the winter.The deployment of Russia's new turbojet-equipped Geran-5 unmanned aerial vehicles—which operate at significantly higher altitudes and speeds than earlier propeller-driven Shahed models—has outpaced Kyiv's low-altitude air defense net."Right now, we're in a race for speed, trying to create faster interceptors," Oleksii Babenko, chief executive of Ukrainian drone maker Vyriy Industries, told the Associated Press. Babenko estimated that scaling production enough to plug the defensive void would take three to four months, while Ukrainian defense analyst Taras Chmut projected the ramp-up would take six months or longer.The performance gap is acute. Interceptors used to counter earlier Russian-modified Iranian Shahed drones operate at roughly 190 to 250 km/h, while the jet-powered Geran-5 can reach speeds approaching 600 km/h."They're moving so fast that we can't get a proper lock on them," said Volodymyr Serdiuk, a Ukrainian air defense commander in Kyiv. Sean Almeida, a former U.S. Marine volunteering with Serdiuk's unit, added that the weapons cruise "too high to shoot at them accurately," even on direct overhead passes.While Western-supplied F-16 fighters have proven capable of tracking and destroying the jet drones, maintenance bottlenecks have sidelined airframes for months at a time.
>>5436899392/2Ukrainian defense firms have started flight trials for next-generation interceptors incorporating autonomous terminal guidance and new powerplants, with at least one contractor completing successful live-target intercepts. However, scaling output remains constrained by an acute shortage of miniature turbojet engines, which are primarily sourced from European manufacturers with limited factory capacities.The development highlights the fast-moving technological arms race that has defined the conflict. After Ukraine pioneered low-cost drone operations early in the war, Moscow adapted with extensive electronic jamming, prompting Russian forces to introduce fiber-optic guided drones to bypass electronic interference. Ukrainian industry responded by fielding AI-enabled drone swarms and autonomous terminal homing capable of hitting targets without an operator datalink.Russia began introducing jet-powered variants late last year before initiating large-scale strike waves this summer. Babenko noted that although Kyiv had received intelligence that faster Russian jet drones were imminent, domestic manufacturers lacked ready countermeasures when they first appeared over Ukrainian cities.

1/2Russia Blacks Out Poverty Headcounts in Fresh Bid to Conceal War LossesRussia is expanding its statistical blackout, this time cloaking the absolute number of citizens living in poverty as authorities move to shield wartime population losses from independent scrutiny.While the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) continues to promote headline declines in poverty rates, its monthly and quarterly releases throughout this year have omitted the absolute headcount of impoverished citizens, reporting only a headline ratio of 7.5% for the first half. Rosstat cited a federal law granting the government emergency powers to suspend the release of sensitive socio-economic indicators.The opacity follows similar restrictions imposed on detailed customs reporting, oil and petroleum production, and key demographic releases, which have remained frozen since January 2025. Disclosing both the headcount of impoverished Russians and their percentage share provides demographers with the exact arithmetic needed to derive the country’s total resident population. At least one regional Rosstat bureau confirmed it had mothballed the publication of metrics calculated using aggregate population data.Attempts to extrapolate the demographic impact highlight a widening divergence. Rosstat reported a permanent population of 146.1 million at the start of 2025, with its baseline forecast anticipating a contraction of 472,500 that year. Yet derived calculations from fourth-quarter 2025 data—which logged 7 million people, or 4.8%, below the poverty line—implied a population of 145.8 million, while full-year figures (9.7 million, or 6.7%) pointed to 144.8 million.The Kremlin remains tight-lipped about the human cost of its invasion of Ukraine. Independent tallies by the BBC and Mediazona had confirmed the identities of nearly 259,000 Russian fatalities as of Sept. 21, while statistical analysis of probate case filings suggests the actual military death toll exceeds 352,000.
>>5436911532/2On paper, President Vladimir Putin has already fulfilled his signature "May Decree" mandate to push Russia's poverty rate below 7% ahead of a 2030 deadline, after the full-year 2025 rate fell to 6.7%. The first-half rate of 7.5% marks a seasonal increase typical of earlier quarters, down from 8% during the same period in 2025.However, economists argue that the Kremlin's victory over poverty is largely a byproduct of accounting changes. In 2021, authorities abandoned a model pegged to the real cost of a basic consumer basket, choosing instead to adjust a fixed late-2020 baseline strictly by headline inflation. Under that formula, the poverty threshold in the first half stood at just 17,700 rubles ($190) a month—including 19,200 rubles for working-age adults and 14,600 rubles for retirees."Living on that amount is virtually impossible," said Alexander Safonov, an economics professor at Moscow's Financial University.The official yardstick diverges sharply from public perceptions. An assessment by the independent Levada Center found that Russians estimated the monthly cost of basic subsistence at an average of 43,800 rubles per person, with just 41% of respondents reporting incomes that exceeded that threshold.
A majority of Ukrainians would accept territorial compromises with Moscow if it brought an end to the war, a nationwide poll showed, underscoring growing war weariness and public discontent over military conscription as the conflict drags into its fifth year.The survey, conducted Sept. 19–22 by Kyiv-based pollster Active Group for the Future Research Foundation, found that 51.7% of respondents consider territorial concessions acceptable to halt the fighting. Within that group, 29.4% said they would explicitly accept lost territory to secure peace, while 22.3% leaned in favor. A strong minority of 41.3% remained opposed to any territorial compromise.The findings reflect a significant shift in Ukrainian public sentiment. Nearly three-quarters—72.2%—now endorse direct peace negotiations with Russia, compared to 20.8% who reject talks.When presented with specific pathways to conclude the war: 48.5% backed ceasefire talks involving compromises, including potential political or territorial concessions. 24.6% supported a temporary freeze along existing battle lines without formally ceding sovereignty over occupied land. 18.6% insisted on fighting until Ukraine fully liberates all land within its internationally recognized 1991 borders.By comparison, when Active Group surveyed Ukrainians in December 2024 on whether Kyiv should freeze the conflict along the frontline if urged by U.S. President Donald Trump, 39.1% were in favor and 45.8% opposed.The shifting calculus on diplomacy coincides with rising domestic strain. Almost six in 10 respondents (58.7%) said Ukraine is heading in the wrong direction, while 84.5% characterized the military's conscription system as fundamentally unfair amid ongoing recruitment drives.The poll surveyed 1,203 respondents aged 18 and older in government-held areas using computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI).

Washington is refusing to engage in any major economic or commercial cooperation with Moscow until Russia ends its war against Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, underscoring the White House's insistence on a diplomatic breakthrough before sanctions can ease.The remarks follow a series of backchannel meetings in the United States by Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s special envoy for international economic cooperation."Kirill Dmitriev continues to discuss economic issues with U.S. officials. Unfortunately, despite the obvious benefits, the Americans continue to condition the entire process on a Ukrainian settlement—saying first comes a resolution, and only then the implementation of projects," Peskov told reporters.Peskov argued that bilateral initiatives should proceed immediately rather than waiting for an end to hostilities, though he acknowledged that maintaining an active channel of communication was "a very positive development".Dmitriev met with senior officials from the U.S. Treasury and Energy departments in Washington to explore potential postwar energy projects and pathways toward ending the fighting, according to sources familiar with the discussions. Dmitriev described the talks as "constructive".The Washington sessions followed a Sept. 24 meeting in New York between Dmitriev, Trump administration special envoy Steve Witkoff, and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, sources told CNN and Reuters. Those talks took place on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly, days after U.S. President Donald Trump held bilateral talks in New York with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

1/2Russian border guards intercepted a Cyprus-flagged commercial cargo ship in the Gulf of Finland en route to Estonia, Estonian maritime officials said, marking Moscow's first retaliatory maritime stop since President Vladimir Putin threatened reciprocal action against Western shipping.The general cargo vessel Västerbotten, which departed Mönsterås, Sweden, on Sept. 29 bound for the Estonian industrial port of Sillamäe, was halted after entering Russian territorial waters on Thursday. Russian authorities ordered the vessel to anchor for an inspection lasting several hours, according to the Estonian Transport Administration and vessel-tracking platform VesselFinder.Although the ship was later cleared, Russian border guards instructed it to remain stationary, leaving it anchored in the Gulf of Finland. Estonian authorities confirmed they had received no formal justification from Moscow regarding the detention or the nature of the inspection.Under a long-standing trilateral arrangement among Russia, Estonia, and Finland, commercial ships navigating toward eastern Estonian ports are permitted innocent transit through that sector of Russian waters to avoid treacherous shallows along Estonia's coastline.The interception comes amid escalating friction across northern European sea lanes following Putin's directive instructing Russian maritime forces to detain Western-linked merchant ships in response to European seizures of Moscow's "shadow fleet" tankers, which the Russian leader branded state-sanctioned "piracy and robbery".
>>5436923722/2European and British authorities have escalated enforcement against illicit Russian crude exports, detaining at least nine shadow tankers since January. European patrols boarded and inspected the tanker Sun on Aug. 30 and the MV South Star on July 20. French authorities previously intercepted the tankers Grinch, Deyna, and Tagor before releasing them after inspections.Several Russian-linked hulls remain held in European ports. Britain has detained the crude tanker Smyrtos, carrying 100,000 metric tons of oil, since June 14. Belgium continues to hold the Ethera, while Swedish authorities have impounded the Sea Owl I and the Jin Hui.Separately, Sweden intercepted the dry bulk carrier Caffa in the Baltic Sea in March after Kyiv accused the vessel of transporting grain misappropriated from occupied Ukrainian regions; Sweden's Supreme Court upheld the seizure in August, ordering the ship handed over to Ukrainian authorities.

1/2Russia’s Tycoons Hand Over $5.6 Billion to War Chest to Stave Off SeizuresRussia's billionaire elite has paid roughly 472 billion rubles ($5.6 billion) in so-called "voluntary donations" to the Kremlin this year, capitulating to mounting pressure as Vladimir Putin’s government intensifies asset confiscations to bankroll his military campaign in Ukraine.The surge in payments, revealed in explanatory addenda to Russia's 2027–2029 draft federal budget reported by The Bell, highlights the narrowing space for oligarchs caught between Western sanctions and state expropriation at home. Russian prosecutors have nationalized hundreds of private enterprises valued at over 7 trillion rubles since the invasion began, often pairing confiscation suits with criminal fraud probes.Finance Ministry records omit the identities of individual donors, but cash inflows under the "non-state voluntary receipts" line item exploded immediately after Putin hosted an unpublicized summit with Forbes-listed tycoons in March. Receipts rose tenfold from 15.6 billion rubles ahead of the gathering to 159.7 billion rubles a month later, before crossing 383.7 billion by mid-August.The shakedown reflects growing strain on Russian public finances as defense spending absorbs roughly 40% of federal outlays. The Finance Ministry recently doubled its 2026 deficit forecast to a record 7.3 trillion rubles ($87 billion), or 3.2% of GDP, up from an initial projection of 3.7 trillion. Without the billionaires' checks, the deficit would have widened to 3.4% of economic output.At the March summit, metals and mining moguls Vladimir Potanin, Oleg Deripaska, and Suleiman Kerimov offered a collective payment of 460 billion rubles from their personal fortunes and family trusts in a bid to avert a planned windfall levy on their corporate empires, according to reporting by Expert.

>>5436925492/2The gambit failed to deliver tax relief. The government will proceed with the windfall levy in 2027, extracting an estimated 200 billion rubles annually across the next three years from Potanin’s MMC Norilsk Nickel PJSC, Deripaska’s United Co. Rusal International PJSC, and Kerimov’s Polyus PJSC."Business is indeed helping the budget," Alexander Shokhin, president of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, acknowledged in August, insisting the contributions were non-coercive. "The crucial point for business is that voluntary contributions must not be paired with an increased fiscal burden. Not in the sense of buying immunity, but in striking a balance between corporate capacity and fiscal support."Despite the private payouts, the Kremlin is locking in broader austerity and fiscal extraction. The three-year budget blueprint outlines 3.7 trillion rubles in supplemental tax hikes, including corporate surcharges and an increase in the top marginal tax rate on passive income and bank deposits to 22%.

1/2Kremlin Factions Funding Ultra-Nationalists Risk Stoking Russian Civil War, Pro-War Writer Prilepin WarnsInfluential pro-war author and political figure Zakhar Prilepin has accused elements within the Kremlin of bankrolling radical Russian ethno-nationalists, warning that covert state backing for far-right movements threatens to plunge Russia into internal strife and civil conflict.Speaking in an interview with the pro-Kremlin outlet Delib, Prilepin—a decorated ultranationalist writer and Rosgvardia lieutenant colonel who survived a car-bomb assassination attempt in 2023—claimed that high-ranking officials inside the Russian Presidential Administration are steering financial streams to promote xenophobic agendas."It is constantly being pumped full of cash, supported from specific offices inside the presidential administration, and kept on life support with steady funding. This is outright treason," Prilepin said. "For some, it is also pure stupidity—officials simply don't comprehend the consequences of what is unfolding".While withholding specific names of officials or benefactors, Prilepin condemned Russian ethno-nationalist factions seeking to marginalize non-Slavic minorities and construct an ethnically exclusionary state. He warned that stoking anti-minority sentiment tears at the fabric of Russia's multi-ethnic federation."This is the amplification of a xenophobic, anti-imperial, and anti-Russian agenda," Prilepin said, asserting that domestic ethnic clashes could mirror the street mobilization of Kyiv's 2013–2014 Euromaidan revolution. "It marks a transition toward a new phase of civil war within Russia".
>>5436926682/2Prilepin argued that competing domestic factions and foreign adversaries alike are manipulating right-wing radicalism inside Russia."Someone here is deliberately cultivating their own Oleh Tyahnybok and Dmytro Yarosh," he said, invoking prominent Ukrainian far-right leaders. "They are huge fans of Franco, Mussolini, Pinochet, and all that right-wing scum. They quote them and invoke them incessantly".Western intelligence services, he claimed, treat these domestic ultra-nationalists as "useful idiots" designed to destabilize the country. "The logic abroad is: 'Let’s shower them with even more cash, and they'll start a fight so another North Caucasus flares up right in their backyard'".

1/2As the Kremlin pares back hospital infrastructure and cancer treatments to sustain its wartime economy, Russia is ring-fencing billions of rubles for an elite scientific quest: defying human aging.Russian fiscal authorities have budgeted 17.954 billion rubles ($215 million) over the 2027–2029 budget cycle for a flagship federal program known as “New Health Preservation Technologies,” according to explanatory documents accompanying the draft budget submitted to parliament.The program, which The Wall Street Journal previously revealed is closely linked to efforts to prolong the lifespan of 73-year-old President Vladimir Putin, stands as a rare protected carve-out amid broad fiscal retrenchment across civil health sectors. State funding for the anti-aging push is scheduled to jump 12% next year to 5.737 billion rubles, expanding to 6.495 billion in 2028 before stabilizing at 5.782 billion rubles in 2029—well above baseline 2026 allocations.The budgetary breakdown sheds light on the Kremlin’s biological ambitions. Next year alone, roughly 1.13 billion rubles will be funneled into "biomedical and cognitive technologies of the future," including 288 million rubles earmarked for 3D bioprinting human tissues and replacement organs. Another 625.4 million rubles will go toward "active longevity" therapies, alongside 137.4 million rubles dedicated to isolating cellular mechanisms of aging.The endeavor is guided by two figures within Putin’s inner circle: his elder daughter, pediatric endocrinologist Maria Vorontsova, and Mikhail Kovalchuk, the physicist who heads the Kurchatov Institute and serves as an influential presidential adviser. Scientists coordinated under the initiative are focusing on gene-editing therapies designed to stall cellular decline, as well as xenotransplantation—specifically breeding gene-altered mini-pigs intended to serve as human organ incubators by 2030.

complete economic collapse in Iran. based Trump punishing the IRGC for bombing Ukrainian cities with Shaheds. H.O.G. has a long reach
>>5436927652/2Kovalchuk has frequently touted the prospect that modern science will soon be able to "repair" and substitute biological human components. The topic has resonated at the highest levels of the Kremlin: during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, Putin was overheard positing that advances in organ replacement could enable human longevity to reach 150 years.The largesse lavished on longevity research comes at a direct cost to ordinary Russian patients. Burdened by an anticipated 5.4 trillion-ruble deficit and record defense outlays projected at 17.1 trillion rubles next year, the government has subjected public healthcare programs to draconian cuts.Russia’s federal oncology project will see its budget gutted by more than 90%, plummeting from 44.9 billion rubles to 3.8 billion rubles. Capital spending on healthcare infrastructure faces a 30% cutback to 54.4 billion rubles, while targeted healthcare services for decorated categories—including military personnel, disabled persons, World War II veterans, and Chernobyl emergency liquidators—will contract by 17%.
1/2Ukraine has launched fresh drone attacks against Russian oil facilities, pressing ahead with its campaign against Moscow's energy infrastructure despite pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, who blamed the strikes for surging global diesel prices.The continued attacks follow remarks by Trump claiming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had tentatively agreed to scale back deep strikes on Russian refining capacity."I told him, 'You need to slow down on the refineries.' And he said, 'We probably will,'" Trump told reporters, warning that the campaign was triggering global fuel bottlenecks. On Sept. 30, Trump doubled down on that assessment: "Diesel has suffered far worse not because of the Middle East, but because of what's happening in Russia."The political sensitivity in Washington is acute, with U.S. retail diesel prices climbing to an unprecedented $6.53 a gallon in September, prompting the White House to consider restricting domestic fuel exports.Yet energy market analysts caution that blaming Kyiv overstates Russia's role in the global supply crunch. While Ukrainian long-range drones have degraded more than 45% of Russia's refining capacity in recent months, shipping disruptions linked to the conflict with Iran have taken a far heavier toll on international markets. Between March and August, Middle Eastern diesel exports dropped by 770,000 barrels per day (bpd), more than double the roughly 350,000 bpd reduction seen in Russian seaborne diesel flows, according to Bloomberg data."Two conflicts are squeezing the market simultaneously, but the war with Iran has inflicted the far greater structural shock," said Helima Croft, head of global commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets.
>>5436928832/2Kyiv has shown no inclination to halt the campaign unilaterally. While Zelensky indicated Ukraine would consider a U.S.-brokered mutual moratorium on energy infrastructure strikes, Moscow has continued pounding Ukraine's power grid ahead of winter."Ukraine has zero justification to show restraint while its own cities are being bombed around the clock," said Mykola Bielieskov, a military analyst at Kyiv's National Institute for Strategic Studies. "The strategic imperative remains to choke off the Kremlin's petroleum revenues."Overnight into Oct. 1, Ukrainian strike drones hit oil infrastructure in Russia's Samara region—where Rosneft’s 7-million-tonne-per-year Kuibyshev refinery was set ablaze on Sept. 22—alongside targets in the Black Sea, a drone launch facility in Oryol, and logistics hubs in Bryansk.The pressure on domestic Russian supplies remains severe: on Sept. 30, the Russian government extended its nationwide ban on diesel exports through late October to contain domestic shortages, keeping the world’s former second-largest diesel supplier largely cut off from global markets.

1/?The European Union’s new defense commissioner drew a sharp red line for the Kremlin this week, warning that any Russian strike on European defense facilities manufacturing arms for Ukraine would trigger NATO’s collective defense pact under Article 5.The warning from Andrius Kubilius came after Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova labeled European factories arming Kyiv "potential military targets," specifically pointing to Poland's nascent plans to manufacture Patriot air defense interceptors. "No one should assume that military enterprises outside Ukraine producing weapons for the Kyiv regime will be safe," Zakharova warned."If Russia were to hit our factories, I would say that would be Article 5," Kubilius told Polish broadcaster TVP World. An aide to the commissioner later clarified to POLITICO that the former Lithuanian prime minister was referring strictly to direct military actions, such as kinetic missile strikes or aerial bombings, rather than the gray-zone sabotage operations currently plaguing European soil.Yet Kubilius’s public invocation of the alliance’s sacred mutual defense clause raised eyebrows at NATO headquarters in Brussels, where non-military EU officials opining on military activation thresholds rarely goes unremarked."When Kubilius becomes NATO Secretary-General, maybe then he can determine what triggers Article 5 and what does not," one NATO diplomat quipped dryly to POLITICO.
>>543692933not true, the putin issued its 1583th nuclear threat recently.i'd take it cereal
>>543692971>allies of Donald Trumpisrael is buying off russian oil and america is playing?
>>5436929952/2The exchange unfolds amid mounting Western alarm over Russian covert operations. Moscow has launched a concerted campaign of hybrid sabotage across the continent—testing the boundary between sub-threshold provocation and open war. Western intelligence agencies have linked Russian intelligence services to an arson strike on an Estonian military robotics factory supplying Kyiv, unexplained fires and attempted arsons at arms facilities across Poland, Slovakia, and Bulgaria, and a major blast at a munitions depot near Rome. The wave aligns with intelligence reported by The New York Times that Vladimir Putin explicitly directed his security chiefs to fracture the Western alliance from within by 2026.Tensions flared further this week after Moscow dispatched a diplomatic note warning NATO that it was prepared to deploy its full arsenal, "including nuclear weapons," if the West moved to isolate or blockade Russia's Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad.NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte dismissed Moscow's saber-rattling with an unsparing rebuttal."Stop the nuclear threats — this is absolutely not called for and not helpful," Rutte said at the Euronews Defence & Space Summit in Brussels, reminding Moscow of the alliance's overwhelming conventional and strategic deterrence. "Putin knows that he can never win against NATO. The best way to deal with this is to stay calm, don't give in, and keep supporting Ukraine."
1/2Kremlin Doubling Spending on RuNet Censorship and VPN Blacklist to $240MRussia is preparing to nearly double state spending on its nationwide internet-censorship infrastructure, earmarking almost 20 billion rubles ($238 million) in 2027 to ramp up website blockades and dismantle virtual private networks (VPNs), according to a draft federal budget examined by independent outlet Verstka.The funds are allocated as an operating subsidy for the Main Radio Frequency Center (GRFC), the operational and technical censorship arm of state media regulator Roskomnadzor. The financing will maintain and upgrade the Automated System for Ensuring Internet Security (ASBI), the centralized platform used to govern Russia's Technical Means of Countering Threats (TSPU)—specialized deep-packet inspection (DPI) hardware installed directly on commercial telecom networks.The fresh cash injection marks a sharp escalation in Moscow's drive toward digital autarky. The government had originally budgeted 9.87 billion rubles for ASBI in 2027 and 9.84 billion rubles in 2028. The revised budget bill raises that allocation to 19.87 billion rubles in 2027 alone—effectively doubling annual outlays and channeling roughly 60 billion rubles into RuNet censorship infrastructure across the 2027–2029 budgetary cycle.Roskomnadzor’s aggregate departmental budget is set to climb by 60% in 2027 to 31.8 billion rubles, up from an earlier target of 20 billion.The budgetary boost comes as the Kremlin tasks regulators with an aggressive censorship mandate: neutralizing 92% of all circumvention VPN services by 2030, boosting deep-packet filtering capacity 2.5-fold to 954 terabits per second, and extending state inspection over 100% of Russian web traffic by the end of this year.
>>543692925moscovites are way worse (and more dangerous) than niggers so vote for whoever maximizes TZD until they are defeated
>>5436930792/2The hardware upgrade follows severe operational strain on Russia’s censorship architecture. Earlier this year, telecom industry sources told Forbes that network-filtering appliances suffered systemic overloads when Roskomnadzor attempted to execute large-scale, automated blocks against Telegram. The resulting processing bottleneck forced nodes into bypass modes, intermittently restoring public access to throttled and outlawed platforms, including YouTube and WhatsApp.By the close of 2025, authorities had installed 1,406 TSPU filtering complexes across telecom operators, handling over 132.3 Tbps of aggregated traffic. That apparatus was leveraged to ban more than 1.2 million websites—a 50% year-on-year surge—and restrict 258 commercial VPN services.Digital Development Minister Maksut Shadaev announced in March 2026 that the government had mandated an aggressive reduction in overall VPN usage. The directive triggered immediate crackdowns, with digital rights observers documenting at least 10 major VPN protocols and providers blocked in the immediate aftermath of the September State Duma elections.

1/2Kremlin Orders State Media to Conceal Soaring War Spending in Russia’s 2027 BudgetThe Kremlin has barred Russian state television networks, government news agencies, and loyalist media outlets from reporting on the historic surge in defense spending laid out in the draft 2027 federal budget, according to internal editorial guidelines obtained by Meduza.The manual, distributed by the Russian Presidential Administration, instructs editors to anchor coverage on the Kremlin’s supposed commitment to ordinary citizens. Propagandists have been told to emphasize social welfare, indexation of pensions, and capital investments in schools and preschool facilities, while framing Russia's widening budget deficit favorably against fiscal shortfalls in Western economies like France, the UK, and Germany.Mentioning the actual scale of military appropriations—or the sweeping cuts to civilian sectors required to fund them—is explicitly prohibited.Presidential Administration officials reinforced the written directive with direct verbal orders, warning newsrooms against taking any "freelance initiative" in analyzing fiscal tables. Outlets were told to restrict their reporting to pre-cleared press statements from the Cabinet of Ministers and to solicit reaction solely from an approved roster of state-affiliated academics at the Financial University, the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA), and the Higher School of Economics (HSE).The censorship guidelines follow the government's formal submission of the 2027–2029 budget bill to the State Duma on Sept. 30. A financial review by Reuters revealed that Moscow plans to pour a record 17.1 trillion rubles ($205 billion) into "National Defense" in 2027 alone—constituting 6.9% of projected GDP and consuming roughly 35% of all federal appropriations. The revised military allocation marks a 27% surge over spending targets enacted just last year.
>>543693086History is already on the move mon ami.
>>5436931902/2To bankroll this militarization, civil entitlements and infrastructure spending have been heavily cannibalized. Under the draft bill, outlays for social policy will drop by 7%, public healthcare by 6.8%, education by 6%, and economic modernization programs by 7.4%.When combined with internal security outlays for the Interior Ministry, Rosgvardia, and the intelligence services, the total share commanded by the siloviki reaches 44% of federal spending, notes Alexandra Prokopenko, an expert on Russian economic policy at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center.While public services bear the brunt of the reallocation, two areas received substantial funding boosts: state-run propaganda operations and debt servicing. Budget lines subsidizing government-controlled media are set to expand by 43.2%, while the cost of servicing Russia's mounting sovereign debt will climb 21.6% to 4.6 trillion rubles.

1/2A series of powerful explosions ripped through a major state-owned chemical and munitions plant outside Moscow on Thursday, killing at least seven workers and collapsing an entire workshop, Russian emergency services and local news channels reported.The blast struck the Krasnozavodsk Chemical Plant—a subsidiary of state defense conglomerate Rostec located in the Sergiyev Posad district, roughly 85 km (53 miles) northeast of Moscow. Local residents reported three successive detonations that shook surrounding residential buildings before a massive blaze erupted across the compound."Seven people were killed when Workshop No. 4 completely collapsed," the Shot news channel reported, citing local emergency officials. First responders evacuated about 40 staff from the facility, while search-and-rescue teams continued digging through fallen debris for trapped personnel. Unconfirmed reports by the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel suggested a rail shipment of hazardous military chemical cargo may have triggered the detonation, placing the death toll as high as eight with others unaccounted for.State news agency TASS, citing regional emergency services, described the explosion as an "industrial accident" and said there was no indication of incoming air attacks or drone activity in the area. The Moscow Region Health Ministry dispatched multiple disaster medicine crews to treat survivors on site.The Krasnozavodsk plant, historically one of Russia’s premier pyrotechnic and industrial munitions manufacturers, plays a direct role in Moscow's defense procurement supply chain.
>>5436932692/2Ukraine's military has previously targeted the facility with long-range strike drones in July 2025. Ukrainian intelligence agencies and the General Staff in Kyiv identified the site as a key producer of thermobaric payloads for Russian-assembled Shahed/Geran attack drones, as well as propellant powders and specialized explosive components for artillery munitions, multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS), and ballistic missiles.The disaster marks the second fatal industrial blast in Russia's pyrotechnic and explosives sector in less than a week. On Sept. 28, a catastrophic explosion and fire at a pyrotechnics factory in the neighboring Yaroslavl region killed 14 workers, leading to the arrest of the company's chief executive on industrial safety and illicit explosives-handling charges.

1/2Ukraine has launched its first domestically developed tactical ballistic missile in combat, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, crossing a major threshold in Kyiv's drive to field an indigenous arsenal capable of striking deep into Russian lines without Western restrictions."Ukrainian tactical ballistics. FP-7. First combat use. Thank you for the result," Zelensky posted on Telegram alongside launch footage, adding that domestic defense manufacturers are preparing to scale up serial production.The missile was launched at a military installation in Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory, according to a person familiar with the operation.The FP-7, developed by private Ukrainian defense contractor Fire Point, gives Kyiv a home-grown weapon with greater destructive power and velocity than the long-range propeller drones that have formed the backbone of its deep-strike operations. The weapon is designed to carry a 150-kilogram warhead up to 200 kilometers at hypersonic terminal velocities of roughly 1,500 meters per second (Mach 4.4).Denys Shtilerman, Fire Point’s co-founder and chief designer, described the ground-launched FP-7 as a cost-effective alternative to the U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), asserting the Ukrainian missile costs roughly 60% less to produce.Military analysts say the maiden launch admits Ukraine into a select club of roughly a dozen nations capable of engineering operational-tactical ballistic missiles, though industrial scaling remains the defining hurdle."For Ukraine, this is a positive development, but much depends on the specific parameters and the rate at which these missiles can be produced," said Michael Kofman, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, noting that key indicators regarding operational accuracy and salvo density remain unproven.
