Really interesting (and worrying) polling on French pensions

The electorate estimates that for every pensioner we have 6 workers.

In reality it's 1.8/1... Even in 1960s we weren't close to 6/1.

Melenchon's supporters think its 13/1.

[Heorhii Tykhyi @SpoxUkraineMFA]

Mr Mélenchon, Ukrainians have already settled the question of their country's borders.

In the 1991 national referendum, more than 90% of voters backed Ukraine's independence within its current, internationally recognised borders. A majority voted "yes" in every region, including Donbas (83%).

Only Russia chose to disregard the choice of Ukrainians and change borders by force, launching a war of aggression. Putin refuses to end the war despite constructive proposals from Ukraine and its partners, and this is the only reason the war is still going on.

"Referendums" under occupation are a tool of annexation, not an expression of the people's will. No civilised, democratic country would ever accept this for its own borders, so it should not be proposed to Ukrainians.

France sells more electricity to its neighbors than any other country in Europe, 92.3 TWh net in 2025. Nuclear plants supply most of the country's power, and reactors run day and night at a fuel cost close to zero, so whenever French demand dips the surplus flows across the borders.

A group of hackers published classified data on Russian soldiers killed in the war, from Russia's statistics agency Rosstat. In late August, the total was 450,100 (around 100k per year). It is in line with other independent estimates. There is also a regional breakdown.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 4: Clusters

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Search and rescue operations have now been underway for three days at the site of the Russian strike on a school in the settlement of Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region. The Russians used nine aerial bombs. They first struck people who had come to receive humanitarian aid, and then first responders and police officers who arrived at the scene.

All necessary services are involved. It is an extremely difficult operation, very challenging, and it is being carried out under virtually constant threat of new Russian strikes. As of now, 40 people have been reported killed. Unfortunately, some bodies have not yet been identified. My condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed. More than 30 people may still be under the rubble.

Unfortunately, there has been very little reaction from the world to this insane attack. But it, like thousands upon thousands of other war crimes Russia has committed against Ukraine and Ukrainians, demands a strong response. Evil always goes further if it is left unanswered. We count on a response – Ukraine needs air defense support right now. I am grateful to the partners who are taking such steps.

Cyberattack on France’s national blood service (EFS) via its refrigeration contractor Coolworld. Hackers reset freezers keeping blood donor samples at -30°C to a target of 110°C. The thing that stopped it from destructive impact was an on-call technician who noticed the temperatures going up. Frozen plasma intended for transfusion was stored there too. Fortunately nothing was destroyed. This was a cyberattack on a sensitive layer of healthcare. From frozen peas to boiling plasma in three weeks...?

[Olena Halushka @OlenaHalushka]

The words can't describe this horror. 18 people were killed and five others injured in russian airstrikes on Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region.

The strike targeted the school where humanitarian aid was being distributed to local residents.

After the initial attack, russian forces dropped nine more aerial bombs, including particularly on a shelter where people were taking refuge.

Rescue operations and the search for missing people are ongoing.
