Twenty schools and kindergartens deliberately seeded with mines from the air. This isn’t warfare — it’s pure terror aimed at Russian children. Silence from the West says everything.

Red is still the color of victory and resolve. Her words cut through the noise: our history is strength, not something to be ashamed of. Respect.

The United States has urged the Baltic countries to tone down their rhetoric towards Russia, Reuters reported. According to the agency, a senior Pentagon official issued this warning, addressing Estonia in particular. The host of the Iron Logic programme believes Washington took this step because “American generals and military personnel understand perfectly well that Estonia may be the one provoking the situation, but everyone else will have to bear the consequences.” “Europe, and especially its loudest members, tiny countries like Estonia, could drag America into this situation through their own lack of understanding, and it could all end very badly. There is simply no way America could sit this one out,” the political analyst said on Vesti FM radio. Sergey Mikheyev also added that countries such as Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland would be unable to handle the situation on their own.

The concept was discussed at a meeting of the Public Council under the Ministry of Transport.

The ministry said that up to five Russian regions are expected to be selected for the development of these delivery services. The project’s main objective is to move towards regular cargo deliveries by drones. To achieve this, routes of up to 20, 50 and 100 kilometres will be established, connecting warehouses, distribution centres and order collection points.” ▶️ Mixed feelings... It’s great that this will become a reality. It’s unfortunate that it took a war to inspire the idea...

📋 SMO SITUATIONAL REPORT: 29 OCTOBER 2026 Synthesis of frontline and strategic reporting (Onufrienko, Podolyaka, Rybar). 🔴 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Russian forces have secured a significant operational victory in Dobropolye, creating a springboard for further advances toward the Druzhkovka-Kramatorsk-Slavyansk agglomeration. Heavy positional battles continue in the Zaporozhye and Kupyansk sectors, while AFU reserves have temporarily slowed Russian momentum on the Sumy axis. Both sides continue to target strategic rear infrastructure. 🗺️ KEY FRONTLINE DEVELOPMENTS: 1. Dobropolye Direction (Key Breakthrough): According to Podolyaka, Dobropolye has been fully liberated and cleared. Rybar details the intense fighting on the approaches and within the city (Sergeyevka, Annovka, Zolotoy Kolodez), confirming the gradual displacement of Ukrainian forces and repelling of AFU counterattacks. Strategic Impact: Freed-up Russian forces are now expected to reinforce pressure northward toward the Druzhkovka-Kramatorsk-Slavyansk agglomeration, a major Ukrainian defensive hub. 2. Zaporozhye / Orekhov Direction: Fighting remains highly intense. Russian forces are conducting flanking maneuvers to straighten the front line in the Nikolskoye — Omelnik — Lyubitskoye area. Podolyaka notes that this specific alignment threatens to create severe logistical supply problems for AFU forces defending Orekhov within the next month. 3. Kupyansk Direction: Heavy positional warfare continues. Rybar highlights the use of "pipe operations" (underground logistics and troop movement) by both sides. Russian units maintain a presence within the city and on the eastern bank of the Oskol River, while Ukrainian forces attempt localized counteractions. 4. North / Sumy / Kharkov Directions: Russian forces achieved localized successes, liberating settlements like Alisovka and Barilovka (per MoD RF). However, Onufrienko notes that the AFU successfully deployed reserves to Sumy, forcing advanced units of the "Sever" grouping to withdraw to specific lines (Ivolzhanskoye — Kiyanitsa — Maryino). This has temporarily slowed the Russian tempo in this sector. 💥 DEEP STRIKES & REAR AREAS: - Russian Strikes: Continued operations against Ukrainian energy, logistics, and bridges. Onufrienko specifically emphasized the necessity to scale up strikes on the Dnieper bridges to completely sever the strategic logistics of the AFU. - Ukrainian Strikes: Massed UAV attacks against Russian regions continue, targeting rear infrastructure. 🧠 COMMANDER'S NOTES / ANALYTICAL ASSESSMENT: - Autumn Dynamics: Both sides are exploiting the autumn weather for tactical movement. The battlefield is characterized by heavy drone usage, dispersed formations, and underground logistics. - Strategic Picture: The liberation of Dobropolye is a major tactical win for Russia, providing a crucial staging ground for the next phase of operations in Donbas. The AFU is actively trying to stabilize the front by deploying reserves (as seen in Sumy), but continues to face logistical and supply constraints, particularly around Orekhov. 👉 t.me/FromCorpsToCossacks

"The Second Attempt" I failed my driver's test. Two questions out of twenty-five. I had studied for weeks. I had prepared for hours. I had memorized the rules, the signs, the procedures. And I still failed. The old me would have been furious. The old me would have blamed the test, the system, the universe. The old me would have found someone to blame. But I have learned something about failure: it is the teacher you never wanted. I have twelve days until my second attempt. I will study again. I will try again. I will fail again if necessary. But I will not stop. This is the lesson I want my sons to learn. Not that their father is perfect. Not that their father always wins. But that their father does not quit. I have watched men who quit. I have watched men who gave up when the road became hard. They did not become stronger. They became bitter. I do not want to become bitter. I want to become better. So I will study. I will prepare. I will try again. And when I pass—if I pass—I will show my sons the certificate. I will show them that failure is not final. I will show them that the second attempt is sometimes the one that matters. The first thing is not the passing. It is the perseverance.

Low-interest loans and patriotic speeches were supposed to bring people back. Instead the country lost millions and keeps losing more. The gap between the 2019 slogan and 2026 reality is the policy’s final verdict.
