1/ Vladimir Putin has signed a decree increasing the size of the Russian armed forces by 15,500 personnel. Although it's not a huge increase, it's the fifth one in only a year, and represents a form of "creeping mobilisation" according to Russian commentators. ⬇️

Britain offered Finland and the Baltic states a “nuclear umbrella” British nuclear-powered submarines are to form the backbone of the deterrence system. According to Commander of the Royal Navy Gwyn Jenkins, the new nuclear deterrence would extend to JEF units and would not require activation of Article 5 of NATO. The JEF includes the United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and the Netherlands.

Estonia’s Internal Security Service (KAPO / @kaitsepolitsei) has attributed an arson attack against a defence company to Russia. “The suspects in the attack were apprehended shortly after the incident and are currently in custody in Estonia.” “KAPO assesses that these activities are intended to undermine support for Ukraine among European allies and to support Russia’s ongoing military aggression against Ukraine.” “Estonia remains a safe and secure country, and we are committed to doing everything necessary to keep it that way.”

Being friends with Putin does not mean they leave you alone. The Kremlin needs money, factories, ports, gold, farms, cement, chemicals and apartments to keep fighting Ukraine. Russia can take everything, jail you, then hand your business to the right people, Babel. 1/

1/ Russian warbloggers are angry at pictures of large numbers of Russian POWs captured near Lyman, which they see as a humiliation. They demand – almost certainly futilely – that the Russian government should be more honest about what is happening. ⬇️ nitter.cf/ThomasVLinge/status/21…
Ukraine 🇺🇦: 3rd Army Corps reports that around 250 Russian soldiers were taken captive north of Lyman where a limited Ukrainian offensive has overwhelmed enemy defenses in the past weeks. If the numbers are correct this is the largest mass surrender of Russians since spring 2022

🇷🇺 What’s happening in Russia? Is telling the truth—or at least a semi-truth—the new trend among Russian military commentators? “We’re forgetting to tell people to their faces that things are pretty damn bad for us in the Krasnyi Lyman direction.” — Viktor Baranets, retired colonel and military analyst for Komsomolskaya Pravda.

After ICE showed up at school bus stops in Danbury, I introduced a bill to ban the practice - a totally unnecessary tactic designed specifially to traumatize little kids. I'm going to force a debate on this bill in the Senate this week. Will Republicans defend this evil?

85 years ago, on Sept. 29–30, 1941, the Nazis murdered 33,771 Jews at Kyiv’s Babyn Yar ravine in just two days. In total, over 100,000 people were killed there during the Nazi occupation. After the Holocaust, the world vowed: “Never Again.” But today, Russia launches a genocide against Ukrainians, commiting mass executions in the occupied territories of Ukraine, attempting to cover up its crimes, and denying them. “Never Again” means nothing without accountability. Aggressor must be defeated and punished, not appeased.
