The Wargame premieres on Sky tonight. It’s a docudrama, putting recent British politicians and practitioners in an attack from Russia.
I’m happy to have contributed to the Russia part of the show.
Pay attention to @sisemin, everyone.
With the threat from Russia rising in the real world, a new series from Sky brings together former ministers and military chiefs to test what might happen if the UK faced an attack.
Watch the new TV Show 'Wargame' on Sky and NOW from 21 September
More deliveries abroad of newly manufactured Russian kit.
”The crisis’s origins lie in the brief and surreal strategic climate that followed the Cold War. Western governments naively mistook a fleeting peace dividend for a permanent world order. The documentary record is remarkably candid. NATO’s 1997 Founding Act declared that NATO and Russia no longer considered one another adversaries. In two years, the last generation of Soviet intelligence scorched Chechnya and seized power by offering then President Boris Yeltsin a safe retreat from power. The European Union’s 2003 Security Strategy later judged large-scale aggression against a member state ’improbable.’” @ckasapoglu1

According to our data, in August the net gains of the Russian armed forces in Ukraine were approximately 133km².
Russian gains are slowly increasing again, but their gains remain extremely limited. Russian gains are a far cry of those from last year.

In other news, popular Swedish children’s books about Pettson and Findus receives 18+ warning on covers in Russia, since the translator has been labelled a foreign agent in 2025.
”Сложная ситуация и с книгами, чьи авторы, переводчики либо иллюстраторы попали в список иностранных агентов. Во-первых, все они без исключения подпадают под возрастной ценз «18+». Из-за этого под запретом оказалась серия популярных детских книг шведского писателя Свена Нурдквиста: ее переводчица Александра Поливанова в 2025 году была внесена в реестр иноагентов.”
