Poland has warned NATO needs to prepare for a potentially imminent deadly Russian hybrid attack on its territory with sabotage increasing dramatically.
Romania has just opened a new bridge connecting it with Ukraine.
The new bridge was built close to the border with Hungary and will make it easier to move important goods in and out of Ukraine.
Ukraine will receive specialized F-16 ammunition from Finland in the coming days to intercept Russian jet-powered Shahed drones, President Zelensky announced after talks with Alexander Stubb.
The transfer follows Helsinki's 35th defense aid package.

We announced an agreement to acquire a nationwide low-band spectrum license portfolio that will pave the way for @Starlink to become a major mobile carrier in the US.
With this new spectrum and our Gen2 constellation, Starlink Mobile can ensure Americans have access to high-speed mobile broadband no matter where they are → https://t.co/1Uaf48v5pm
🇪🇪 NEW: Estonia is moving its main combat units permanently closer to the Russian border as it shifts towards a new “active defence” strategy.
Instead of absorbing an attack and retaking territory afterwards, Estonian forces are preparing to stop an incursion at the border.
The strategy also includes the ability to strike targets deep inside Russia from the outset of a conflict.
Estonia is expanding its long-range arsenal with HIMARS and Chunmoo systems while building new military infrastructure closer to the border.
“I am very pleased that another U.S. rotational unit will deploy to Estonia as part of the U.S. commitment to collective defense. This demonstrates the strength of the U.S.-Estonia relationship as both of our countries remain committed to security in the region. I am grateful to our Estonian colleagues for the vital role they play in hosting and training U.S. forces – another incredible example of our great partnership. I look forward to welcoming the new U.S. rotation and together we will continue to enhance our joint readiness to deter and defend against any threats.
-U.S. Ambassador to Estonia Roman Pipko
Based on the information collected by the Estonian Internal Security Service @kaitsepolitsei we can conclude with certainty that the arson attack on Milrem Robotics premises that took place on the night of 14–15 august in Tallinn was an act of sabotage ordered by the special services of the Russian Federation.
Such actions are absolutely unacceptable. In response, the @MFAestonia will today summon Russia’s Chargé d’affaires.
The perpetrators have been apprehended and no longer pose a threat to our national security. Estonia is a difficult environment for Russia to carry out such actions because we act decisively and swiftly to protect our state.
This act of sabotage is part of Russia’s broader campaign across Europe, aimed at intimidating us and weakening our support for Ukraine.
Our response will be the opposite. We will increase both our support for Ukraine and the pressure on Russia to end its aggression.
Let’s not lose focus and stay the course, because Russia’s actions are a clear indication that our collective exertion of pressure is working.
I am a Russian speaking man living in Estonia. Both of my parents are Russians.
The last thing I ever wish is Russia to come and "defend" me and other so-called Russian speaking people in Estonia and Baltics.
Leave the f**king other countries alone. No one wants Russia here.
I also applaud the return of US military presence back to Estonia. This is deterrence. Estonia is on the frontlines facing Putin’s bluster frequently. Deterring war is much better than fighting a war.

Our long-range responses had a very significant impact in the Moscow region last night. One of Russia’s key oil industry facilities and the aggressor’s logistics facility were hit. These are billions of dollars that sustain the war machine. The systems used included FP-1, RZ-100, MICH-2000, Palianytsia, Vendetta, Liutyi, Bars, Flamingo, Sichen, and Pelican.
I thank our warriors for their accuracy: the Security Service of Ukraine together with the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the Foreign Intelligence Service. Sanctions were also imposed on a facility in the Voronezh region. Moscow must end its brutal war and choose peace instead of building layered rings of air defense at the expense of other regions. Steps toward de-escalation are on the table – in energy and food security. What is needed is political will. I thank everyone who is strengthening Ukraine’s long-range capabilities. I am grateful to everyone who complements our long-range responses with responses through sanctions. Glory to Ukraine!
Fuertes enfrentamientos en La Haya, Países Bajos, entre patriotas holandeses opuestos a la invasión islámica y la apertura de una nueva mezquita en la ciudad contra la policía holandesa.

It seems most people don't understand how severe the energy situation is right now in the Middle East.
As of Friday, Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline has officially been shut down after recent attacks, putting -4 million barrels of daily oil exports at risk.
Meanwhile, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is now at risk of being shut down, threatening up to -9 million barrels of daily oil supply.
All while the Strait of Hormuz is operating at ~20% of its pre-Iran War capacity, removing -15 million barrels of daily oil flows.
Combined, this represents nearly ~30 MILLION barrels per day of oil flows that are either offline or at risk.
Even after accounting for some overlap between these routes, the scale of the potential disruption is enormous relative to the ~100 million barrel per day global oil market.
This is one of the most severe energy supply situations in modern history.
