🔥Russians are panicking over Ukraine’s new refinery strike tactics. Drones reportedly switch targets mid-flight, and Trump can no longer simply pull the plug.
The Russian Telegram channel *Дневник Разведчика* (Intelligence Officer’s Diary, 147,800 subscribers) describes a major shift in Ukraine’s long-range drone campaign following the strikes on Kstovo, Samara and Yaroslavl.
Previously, Ukrainian drones were sent toward predetermined targets. If the first drones successfully hit a refinery unit, the rest continued toward the same target.
Now, according to the Russian channel, Ukrainian operators can monitor strikes in real time and redirect incoming drones while they are still in flight.
Once a primary distillation unit is hit, subsequent drones can be redirected toward storage tanks, cracking units, electrical substations or other critical equipment.
Instead of concentrating an entire wave on one target, Ukraine can distribute the damage across multiple parts of the refinery.
The Russians are describing something far more dangerous for their oil industry than simply larger drone attacks: the ability to adapt an entire strike while it is happening.
The channel attributes this capability to Israeli HiSKY SmartLight satellite communications terminals, which it says Ukraine is using as an alternative to Starlink.
It claims the terminals allow two-way communication over Russian territory, making it possible to adjust flight paths, identify air-defence positions and redirect drones around interception zones.
And then comes the most revealing part.
The Russian channel argues that American restrictions on Starlink have backfired spectacularly.
Its conclusion:
"Trump has simply lost his leverage over Kyiv’s long-range strikes."
And:
"Ukraine has slipped off the American leash and found a commercial alternative that the White House cannot switch off with a phone call."
That is coming from a Russian military channel, not Ukrainian propaganda.
Moscow is now discussing a scenario in which Ukraine can strike multiple critical refinery units in a single operation, adapt to Russian air defences in real time and continue its campaign without depending on American-controlled communications.
Putin has been trying to get Trump to restrain Ukraine’s refinery strikes. Now Russian military commentators are warning that even American pressure may no longer be enough.
The irony is extraordinary. Washington reportedly tried to limit Ukraine’s options. The Russians are now complaining that Ukraine has found a way around those limits.
The HiSKY deployment, electronic-warfare resistance and real-time retargeting capabilities are claims made by the Russian channel, not independently established technical facts. The attribution in the draft matters, especially for the claims about Trump’s leverage.

Right now, European leaders are working harder to protect Russia's frozen assets than Ukraine's civilians. Let's finally change that by transferring those assets directly to Ukraine
Does Trump have the cards to call the shots right now?
“They’re going to end up with a little different shaped Ukraine”
Is the current rhetoric coming out of trump's mouth completely out of touch with reality? Make no mistake: #Ukraine 🇺🇦 and #Europe 🇪🇺 will not accept territorial concessions beyond the existing frontlines under any circumstances. russia will not be handed the #Donbas. Ukraine remains a sovereign nation that dictates its own future, it will not be coerced into a bad deal forced by #Washington.
When will the public acknowledge the extent to which the Trump family is entangled with the Russian regime? People seem to be deliberately turning a blind eye to obvious warning signs: high-profile connections, diesel deals, Jared Kushner’s suspicious financial dealings, and Steve Witkoff's clear deference to Vladimir Putin.
How much more proof is needed to show that this administration places personal gain above the security of Ukraine and Europe? We cannot afford to stay silent or look the other way. #Україна

According to CNN, Zelensky’s workday begins between 3 and 4 in the morning, when the first battlefield reports arrive.
He drinks strong black coffee, no sugar, to push through the early hours.
Even under constant pressure, he has not lost his sense of humor and still finds brief moments to reset.
The years of war, strain, and emotional weight are visible on him. No one carries that kind of burden without it showing.
And yet he remains standing.
Respect to Volodymyr Zelensky.

Senator Blumenthal will introduce a bill to restore aid to Ukraine and tighten sanctions on Russia. He says Trump must restore the suspended sanctions, end his diesel deal and provide military aid, including air defense, and that Trump needs new negotiators.

WOW. 🔥🔥🔥
Democratic lawmakers in the U.S. are preparing a new $15 billion military aid package for Ukraine and are also considering tightening sanctions against Russia, the *Financial Times* reports.
▪️ According to reports, there is talk of including this package in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)—a piece of U.S. defense legislation that must be passed by Congress before the current legislative session ends.
▪️ Furthermore, the Democrats have made supporting Ukraine’s energy sector one of their key priorities.
▪️ Among other things, lawmakers intend to increase oversight of the Starlink services used in Ukraine and revisit the controversial "Graham Act"—a piece of legislation that was repealed on the very day it was set to take effect.
▪️ Additionally, the Democrats plan to investigate the business interests of Trump’s envoys, Witkoff and Kushner.

Kyiv. Seconds and mere meters can mean the difference between life and death. This is what life is like when your neighbour is a deranged terrorist.

Martin Bormann, quoting Adolf Hitler during an event at the White House, and presenting a gift to Eleanor Roosevelt. November 1942.
Watching Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, speak from a White House podium bearing the U.S. presidential seal while quoting Vladimir Putin is an image I will never forget.
Dmitriev praised Maria Lvova-Belova as a great humanitarian. She is wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes involving the unlawful deportation and transfer of Ukrainian children.
He then presented Melania Trump with a painting reportedly made by a girl who, according to him, “chose to remain in Russia.” It read: “I love Melania.”
Melania Trump went on to praise Newsmax for its integrity in covering the operation in Russian-occupied Oleshky, where the outlet’s journalists traveled under Russian military guidance.
And to complete the scene, Davyd Arakhamia, head of Zelenskyy’s Servant of the People parliamentary faction, joined from the Ukrainian side to praise Melania Trump.
All of this at the White House.
Russia’s war against Ukraine continues.

Elon Musk has Ukrainian blood on his hands. He needs to come in and explain what the hell happened when he altered a global conflict with the flick of a switch.
See you in January, @elonmusk.

It was ECONOMIC POPULISM that we rejected, apparently, not abandoning Ukraine and all the other obvious mistakes…
Until conservatives can regain honesty, conservatives will remain in the wilderness.
My thoughts on the Midterm Results:
My heart breaks for our country. Despite the best efforts by so many to support Republican candidates and call conservatives back to our principles, our Republican team suffered a historic defeat.
This midterm election wasn’t a rout, it was a reckoning. The American people have rejected our party’s shift toward economic populism, and our majorities in Congress and state legislatures and governorships across the country paid the price.
But like most people of faith, I’m an eternal optimist. I know that with God’s help, we can save our movement—and our country—again. We can return the Republican Party to the timeless principles that have led to our greatest successes and, more important, have made America strong, prosperous and free.
The conservative comeback starts today. Let’s get to work. 🇺🇸

BREAKING: NEW FOOTAGE obtained by Sky News exposes how russia exploited a humanitarian pause in Oleshky to strengthen its military positions.
Ukraine’s General Staff has confirmed it.
During the evacuation, russian troops brought in heavy equipment, reinforced positions and used humanitarian routes to supply their forces.
Even worse: around 30 bodies were removed from the local hospital. Residents fear some may have died violently. Their removal risks making an independent investigation impossible.
russia turned a humanitarian pause into a military operation.
This shows that russia wants no peace. It only uses ceasefires to advance its war.
MA for Ukraine retweeted
If Russia could stop the fire in Oleshky for several days, it can stop it along the whole frontline. Russia can end this war today if it wants to! Instead, they make a choice to continue their invasion every single day.
At that time I thought Russia would chill out too.
During the 2012 campaign, President Obama dismissed concerns about Russia by saying, “the 1980s called, they want their foreign policy back.”
