🇺🇦 PĚT KILOMETRŮ POD ZEMÍ. VE TMĚ, ŠPÍNĚ A NEUSTÁLÉM NEBEZPEČÍ.

Ukrajinští vojáci z útočné jednotky SKELJA podnikli mimořádně náročnou operaci u Kupjansku. Jejich úkolem bylo proniknout do plynového potrubí, kterým se ruští okupanti pokoušeli dostat k městu, a zastavit jejich postup.

Operaci nazvali „Impossible“ (Nemožné). A není divu.

Několik dní strávili vojáci uvnitř úzkého potrubí, hluboko pod zemí. V naprosté tmě, prachu, špíně a nedostatku vzduchu. Na některých místech panoval chlad, jinde nesnesitelné horko.

V potrubí se někdy tísnilo až deset mužů najednou. Neměli prostor se postavit ani pořádně pohnout. Spali vleže, jeden vedle druhého, obklopeni výstrojí a nečistotami.

Přesto pokračovali v plnění úkolu.

Ruští vojáci se snažili potrubím postupovat. Ukrajinští obránci jim však připravili léčky, likvidovali nepřátelské skupiny a postupně získávali kontrolu nad jednotlivými úseky.

Jeden z ukrajinských bojovníků utrpěl zranění a více než pět dní se nemohl dostat ven.

Když se konečně dostal na povrch, jeho první přání bylo obyčejné. Postavit se na vlastní nohy.

„První, co jsem chtěl, když jsem vylezl z potrubí, bylo stát. Protože tam neustále ležíte. Na zádech, na boku nebo na kolenou.“

A zatímco nahoře lidé chodili, usmívali se a žili běžným životem, pod zemí vojáci každou minutu přemýšleli, zda přežijí.

Výsledek operace?

Útočné jednotky SKELJA společně s dalšími ukrajinskými jednotkami vyčistily část plynového potrubí, zlikvidovaly nepřátelské skupiny a zablokovaly ruským okupantům cestu, kterou se pokoušeli proniknout ke Kupjansku.

❤️🇺🇦 Obrovský respekt těmto mužům. Za jejich odvahu, vytrvalost a odhodlání bránit svou zemi i v podmínkách, které si většina z nás nedokáže ani vybavit.

Za každou takovou operací stojí skuteční lidé. Lidé, kteří riskují vlastní životy, aby ostatní měli šanci žít ve svobodě.

Sláva Ukrajině! Sláva hrdinům! 🇺🇦🙏

Pour moi, c'est l'image la plus horrible de ce 17 octobre:
Un couple d'octogénaire dépouillé de tout, en pleine rue, laissé à moitié nu.
Comme si les Rolex, les Vuiton, les Hermès, les Dior, les Sephora pillés n'étaient pas suffisants pour la revente.

L'image qui devrait être un signal d'alarme pour tout l'occident.

L'image d'un pseudo président qui a perdu le contrôle. Qui a totalement échoué envers son peuple.

L'image d'une gauche radicale qui a sacrifié votre propre identité pour faire de votre pays une zone de guerre, aux arrières-plans culturels qui n'ont rien à voir avec les vôtres.

Cette image est effrayante!

BREAKING: Billionaire Sir Richard Branson unleashes a SCORCHING attack on Trump and his disgusting cozying up to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that gets under Trump's skin...

"I thought I’d never have to say this in my lifetime, but this is 2026, and sadly nothing is what it used to be," Branson, the founder of Virgin Group, wrote on LinkedIn. "The Trump administration has become an appeaser to autocrats and dictators, putting their personal whims before the best interests of the American people and those of the free world. What is it about Putin that President Trump fawns over?"

"How will America’s allies ever be able to trust this administration again when they are now turning against them at a time of war and suffering?" he asked.

Trump has repeatedly betrayed our Ukrainian allies in recent days. First, he announced a stunning deal with Putin to allow millions of barrels of diesel into the global markets, a move that will directly pump money into the Russian war machine. Then, he began a concerted smear campaign against President Zelenskyy and said that Putin is easier to deal with.

The backstabbing escalated when Washington failed to provide its usual early warning to Kyiv of an incoming Russian ballistic missile attack. Now, it appears that the White House ordered a temporary disruption of Starshield, a military version of Elon Musk's Starlink that the Ukrainian armed forces rely upon.

"The slowdown of Starlink/Starshield and the inexplicable lack of advance warning of Russian missile launches have already caused Ukrainian civilians to die unnecessarily," wrote Branson. "How much worse can it get?"

"If one thing is clear it’s that European leaders must overcome the initial shock about Trump’s recent actions and step up to the plate. It’s as much about Europe’s freedom as it is about Ukraine’s sovereignty. Both are worth fighting for," he continued. "All options should be on the table now, from the transfer of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine to the delivery of advanced weapons systems such as Germany’s Taurus."

"Why oh why is this happening? We cannot let the free world be dismantled before our very eyes," Branson concluded.

We couldn't agree more. Trump is an enemy to Ukraine, an enemy to democracy, and an enemy to the American people. When Democrats retake power, we have our work cut out for us. Every last trace of this monstrous man's legacy must be erased.

Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump is Putin's puppet!

❗️Operators of the “Lasar’s Group” unit of Ukraine’s National Guard have again destroyed a powerful Russian BM-30 “Smerch” multiple launch rocket system together with its loading vehicle. Russian troops were holding this equipment near the village of Shyroke in the temporarily occupied part of Kherson Oblast.

Two Ukrainian counteroffensives. Opposite results.

2023: Ukraine massed tanks near Mala Tokmachka to break through to Melitopol, 80 km away. It got stuck in minefields, took heavy Russian air attacks with little air cover of its own, and stalled after 10 km. Russian counterattacks erased even that. Its planners were "stuck in an old way of thinking about maneuver warfare."

2026: Operation Vivaldi north of Lyman. Five months in, the 3rd Army Corps has eliminated the Russian bridgehead on the Zherebets River and erased 18 months of Russian advances toward Sloviansk.

The new way:
• small objectives, a kilometer at a time
• drones, jammers, and bombers clear the way first
• robots clear mines and blow up strongpoints before infantry rides in

It worked.

"They thought small instead of big, stacking small gains on top of small gains until those wins amounted to a big victory."

I don’t believe the volume of diesel Russia will export will affect the price. Moreover, we see that they can export from 300,000 to 500,000 tons a month today. Meanwhile, global consumption stands at 120 million tons a month. What kind of impact can that have? I don’t think it would have any. If some people think otherwise, so be it.

So I believe there are entirely different reasons behind these actions. If this is the approach, then why isn’t America making a “diesel deal” with Ukraine? Let Ukraine propose a “diesel deal.” We do have influence over whether these ships can sail or not, whether these refineries can operate or not. If that’s the case, then let’s do it.

Electricity is what matters to us. That’s clear. If we can be guaranteed protection for our power system, then we will not strike Russia’s diesel infrastructure in response. Electricity is first and foremost about helping people – keeping their lights on. It also means helping Europe. Everyone knows that we are connected to the European power grid. And if our energy infrastructure is not being destroyed, we can help some countries that are facing shortages by supplying them with cheaper electricity.

So, yes, let’s sign a corresponding “diesel deal” with the President of the United States.

A massive fire has broken out at the Novoshakhtinsk oil loading terminal in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.

The terminal is an important part of southern Russia’s oil infrastructure. It is used to receive, store, and load petroleum products onto river-sea tankers, with an annual handling capacity of up to 3.5 million tonnes.

A fire broke out after an attack at the Sasta machine-tool plant, which is also the site of a Yandex data center, in Sasovo, Russia’s Ryazan region.

It is reported that the Yandex data center suffered a major outage. The company said operations at its Sasovo center have been completely halted and services may experience disruptions. Power supply problems disrupted a wide range of Yandex Cloud components, including computing resources, networks, data storage, databases, Kubernetes, cloud services, AI systems, security tools, and monitoring systems.

Wikimapia data confirms that the data center is located on the factory grounds. Last month, employees also showed equipment at the facility and said it was located in Sasovo.

Sasta manufactures CNC machine tools. Its equipment is used in Russia’s defense, aerospace, transport, and heavy industries. The company is under international sanctions.

SECRETARY RUBIO: For twenty-five centuries since, the Parthenon has stood. Empires have risen and fallen beneath its shadow.

And the progeny of the men who built it – the sons of Athens and Rome – have carried their civilization with them to the ends of the Earth.

Two and a half centuries after the founding of the American republic halfway across the world from where I stand now, I stand here today – as the Secretary of State of that republic, and as the great-grandson of settlers who arrived in the new world from Spain – I stand here to testify to a debt that no lapse of time, no distance of space, can ever extinguish.
