✈️🇺🇦 For hours, aircraft from Putin’s delegation could not land normally in Moscow as Ukrainian drone threats shut the Russian capital’s airspace. One plane reportedly carrying Putin from Turkmenistan was diverted to St. Petersburg before continuing to Moscow. (RBC-Ukraine)

🚨 Just today, more than 370 flights were delayed and 62 cancelled at Moscow airports. And this is becoming routine: flight cancellations across Russia doubled in the first nine months of 2026, largely amid repeated drone-related restrictions. (https://t.co/qr2qSM7Qsc)

🔥 Putin launched his “special military operation” against Ukraine. Now its consequences are reaching the skies above Moscow — and this time, Putin’s own delegation experienced them personally.

Quite a demonstration of control.

⚖️ Anyway, Putin belongs in The Hague.

Another strike on a Russian oil refinery in Omsk – one of the major refineries – as well as on the Ukhta oil refinery, 1,900 kilometers from Ukraine’s state border. The target in Ukhta was hit by An-196 RS drones, which can fly about 2,500 kilometers, while FP-6 drones (modified FP-1s) were used against the Omsk refinery the day before. We continue to respond to Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, and we’re doing so with high precision. Another data center was hit as well – our symmetrical response. An important display of accuracy by our warriors. Glory to Ukraine!

So let's get this straight: Russia just murdered over 65 people in Ukraine in less than 48 hours. Crushed a building on top of sleeping families to celebrate Putin's birthday.

And today, the U.S. announces that they are lifting sanctions on Russian diesel and planning to buy some, essentially becoming sponsors of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Just a day after a horrific terrorist attack by Russia that killed so many, and just before the winter when the Russian government screams from all the rooftops that they are going to create a humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine by destroying our infrastructure.

This is just such a low and cruel betrayal that it's hard to wrap my head around...

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Overall, 25 people were killed in this massive Russian strike on Ukraine. One hundred people were injured. It was a combined attack, involving many ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as “shaheds.” This is the kind of “gift” Putin gave himself for his birthday.

Ukrainian warriors shot down 44 missiles – both cruise and ballistic. Not all of those launched by Russia, and ballistic missiles are especially difficult to deal with. We suppressed 117 “shaheds” – most of those launched, but unfortunately, not all of them either.

Additional packages of air defense missiles are needed, as are additional measures to support Ukraine. And there will be appropriate packages. The threat is there every day, and every day, our air defense batteries need to have missiles ready. We strongly count on prompt deliveries from our partners.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

In the last 48 hours, Russia has killed at least 64 people in Ukraine! 64 human beings murdered for the crime of being Ukrainian in Ukraine.

Where's the reaction from our partners? Not even a single word from U.S. administration, or are they still celebrating Putin’s birthday??

The 7/7 bombings in London rightfully outraged the world when Al-Qaeda terrorists blew up a London bus. The same thing just happened in this city in Europe. This time russia were the terrorists and for some reason that means it doesn’t deserve mass coverage.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Doctors are now fighting to save the lives of people injured in the Russian strike on Kramatorsk. As of now, 30 people have been confirmed killed, and sadly, that number may rise. The Russian bomb effectively hit two city minibuses. Some of those killed have still not been identified because of the severity of their injuries. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Another 18 people were injured in the strike. Residential buildings and cars were also damaged.

This strike will not go unanswered. Russia is trying to destroy all life in Donbas, and a response from the world is a must. A forceful response – exactly as the Russians deserve for all the deaths they have brought. May all those killed rest in peace.

How on earth can the police mess this up? One of the most high profile cases of modern times.

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

The British Government is preparing an apparatus of internet censorship without parallel in the modern era.

At the UN, Andy Burnham announced the creation of a National Centre for Information Defence — Labour’s Ministry of Truth.

The Prime Minister says the centre will protect us from hostile foreign powers such as Russia, which he accused of spreading lies and disinformation about Britain, amplifying “far-right narratives” and interfering in our democracy.

But the real purpose is to suppress dissent and silence those who criticise the Government or express views about the state of the country that run counter to Labour’s prevailing progressive orthodoxy.

FSU Director of Policy and Research David Rose has written a new briefing examining the threadbare research the Government has used to justify its plans. The Government is clutching at straws — and, ironically, already spreading misinformation about the threat of misinformation.

It has ignored a wealth of evidence from leading academics to push ahead with its new censorship regime.

Burnham’s Government is putting Britain in the same league as some of the world’s most authoritarian powers.

🇺🇦 Zelensky visited the site of a Russian strike on a residential building in Pryluky alongside the UK's Foreign Secretary and promised new homes to all families who lost theirs

On October 7, a Russian missile struck a five-story residential building in Ukraine's Chernihiv region. According to the latest reports, 22 people were killed, including five children, and another 54 were injured.

The Ukrainian president visited the site of the tragedy alongside British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband to meet with those affected, assess the situation, and pay tribute to the victims.

Zelensky also promised that every family who lost their home in the Russian strike would receive a new one.

The British Foreign Secretary, in turn, assured Ukraine that London would continue supporting the country for as long as it takes to achieve victory.

"Putin once said he would achieve victory on the battlefield. Now he is trying to win by terrorizing civilians. I don't believe he will succeed. I don't believe he will win," Miliband emphasized.

BREAKING:

A Russian drone has struck a schoolyard near Kyiv

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The search-and-rescue operation in Pryluky following the Russian missile strike on the five-story apartment building has now been completed. Sadly, the death toll has risen to 22 people. Five of them were children. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Fifty-four people were injured, including seven children. More than 500 emergency service professionals were involved at the site. I thank every one of them – 15 people have been rescued since yesterday, including a five-year-old child.

And even after such a brutal attack, the Russians continued striking our regions. This morning, Russia hit an ordinary public transport stop in Kramatorsk with an aerial bomb. As of now, 12 people have been confirmed killed. In the evening, a strike on a residential building in Kyiv claimed two lives. My condolences to all the families and loved ones of the victims. Four more people were injured, including two children. In the Odesa region, a Russian drone attack damaged an animal shelter. Energy infrastructure was hit again. Overall, Russian strikes caused destruction in 10 regions.

I am grateful to our partners who did not remain silent yesterday about these Russian crimes. But it is important that support in words take concrete form in new packages for Ukraine’s defense. Supplies of anti-ballistic capabilities, ammunition for our combat aircraft, and investments in interceptors – all of this is directly helping save lives every day. Important talks with our partners will take place today and tomorrow. We expect them to deliver concrete results to strengthen our defense.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

The death toll is now 33. Right here in a European city. russia needs to be completely isolated from the civilised world.

🚨 25 people killed, 100 injured in a massive Russian strike on Ukraine. “This is the kind of ‘gift’ Putin gave himself for his birthday,” Zelensky said

According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russia launched a combined attack involving numerous ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as Shahed drones.

He added that Ukrainian forces shot down 44 missiles, including both cruise and ballistic missiles, and suppressed 117 Shahed drones. However, not all incoming targets were intercepted.

Zelensky once again called on Ukraine’s partners to speed up deliveries of air-defense missiles, stressing that the threat is constant and Ukrainian air-defense batteries need a steady supply of interceptors.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Rescuers worked at the site of the Russian strike in Pryluky all night and day. Russia killed 22 people here for Putin's birthday, 5 of them were children.

​They celebrate like this, crashing apartment buildings onto sleeping residents.

​search and rescue operation continues.

The Nova festival site tonight, where hundreds were massacred by Hamas.

There are so many tributes to young men and women killed in their early 20s. It was startling to report from here while watching clips in London of students the same age protesting on the anniversary.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Work to clear the rubble is ongoing at the site of a Russian missile strike on a residential building in Pryluky. As of now, 18 people have been reported killed, four of them children: Oleksandr, Kyrylo, and Serhii, who were only one year old, and eight-year-old Maksym. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Dozens of people were injured, including seven children. All emergency services are involved and working at the site. Fifteen people were rescued, including one child. There are still people who have not yet been accounted for.

The Russians know very well that they are striking ordinary cities, ordinary life. And the continued use of missiles against Ukraine, against our people, our children, is an absolutely deliberate choice of terror. This is what Moscow chooses – despite all our efforts with partners to bring peace closer. And this is a clear reason why more pressure on Russia is needed and why Ukraine needs more defense packages. It is important that leaders understand this. It is important that the world not remain silent today.

Samara oil pipeline hub is on fire in russia.

Notice how it’s not an apartment building, kindergarten, school, or hospital like when russia attacks Ukraine, but the aggressor’s economy, attacked to limit the aggressor’s ability to wage war, not to murder kids in their beds.
