American candy stores - a leading indicator a retail street is going into decline🍭

What's really behind @realDonaldTrump 's diesel deal with Putin, and what could it mean for Ukraine?
In the latest episode of #UkraineInsights, Sir @Billbrowder questions the motives behind the deal, explains why Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil refineries matter, and discusses how Europe can maintain pressure on Moscow even if Washington changes course.

Why does Russia prioritize electronic warfare?
Electronic warfare has been central to Russian military strategy since 1905. Today, Russia uses radar, drones, and the electromagnetic spectrum to detect targets on the battlefield.

It’s a make or break week for Ukraine's parliament 🇺🇦 The Verkhovna Rada returns on 12 October after a nearly four-week break, with a backlog of bills it can no longer afford to delay. Without key votes, Ukraine risks losing critical Western funding and setting back its path to the EU 🧵
I cant remember a time when most Ukrainians DID NOT expect things to get worse in coming months. Maybe this question just doesnt make sense for Slavs
The rest, however, is quite worrying and in line with our view that things shifted this summer
Sobering figures in this @RatingGroup survey on Ukrainians' mood ahead of winter: 55% of respondents expect the overall situation in the country to worsen in the coming months; 62% believe neither Ukraine nor Russia is winning the war.

What happens when GPS stops working in a war?
In the latest #UkraineInsights episode, Dr @tomwithington explains how electronic warfare is reshaping Ukraine’s battlefield, from GPS jamming and #Starlink to autonomous drones and new countermeasures.

Exhibits have arrived from Ukraine for tomorrow's @KyivIndependent event at Kings Place in London😅.
Still a few tickets left if you want to make this Friday night special! (link below)

A very good discussion by @j_parus about things to look at over the coming months in Ukraine - Russia signals it wants to continue the war, Ukraine is preparing for winter as its budget faces crisis, and Zelensky's options for the future.

Never underestimate the power of Ukraine's investigative journalists - they'll track you down even beyond the grave😀

Russia is testing Tishina ("Silence"), a prototype jammer that fuses detection and jamming into one integrated system. It specifically targets FPV drone waveforms and control links, and signals a shift towards software-defined electronic warfare. #RussianDrone #WarInUkraine 🧵

Poland remains one of Ukraine's most important partners, but the relationship is becoming much more pragmatic.
Dr. @dszeligowski explains why Polish–Ukrainian ties have reached a historic low, what is driving changing public attitudes in Poland, and why Warsaw and Kyiv may now be moving from wartime solidarity toward a more transactional partnership.

Emerging evidence suggests that Russia's 50th Separate Unmanned Systems 'Varyag' Brigade is manually operating UAVs in the current wave of attacks against Kyiv, a likely result of Belarus' renewed steps to let Russia use radio relays on its own territory. Learn more about Russia's mesh capabilities here.

The transformation of the Molniya 2R, a low-cost, fixed-wing reconnaissance UAV, into an aerial mesh relay illustrates Russia's systematic approach to maturing the capabilities of its drone fleet.

Jakub Parusinski retweeted
Mesh-controlled UAVs have proven especially effective against stationary targets, such as trains, gas stations, and electrical stations. The systematic targeting of these objects using manually-controlled UAVs has become a hallmark of Russia's increasingly effective middle-strike campaign.

Mesh networking is emerging as a key alternative to Starlink for UAV command-and-control and video transmission in real time. Mesh radios are more expensive and limited in range, but are ultimately independent from satellite communication systems. This means that Russia doesn’t need Starlink for live UAV control deep into the Ukrainian rear…

Russia is sourcing its mesh networking solutions from Shenzhen-based Chinese suppliers Xingkai Technology and Sinosun Technology, in part through Russian brand Ajax Technologies. A Russian contribution to the underlying communication waveforms and protocols remains possible.
