1/ Russia's war effort in Ukraine has become critically dependent on self-funded logistics organised by civilian volunteers and the soldiers themselves, who are spending their salaries on basic supplies and equipment that the state does not provide. ⬇️

Our goal remains a strong and free Ukraine. Russia needs to know that the EU and its partners have the will and the means to continue supporting Ukraine until a just and lasting peace is achieved. Soon, we will launch a new programme to give Ukraine the tech edge it needs on the battlefield.

Day 1317 of Russia's illegal, imperialistic, all-out war on its peaceful neighbour, though the initial killing and invasion began 11.5 years ago. Each day in my daily threads you will find all the important, fact-checked news, good and bad, in one handy place. Let's go again:

Good news from Kazakhstan:

@prune602.bsky.social warned us not to fly on russian airplanes. I, for one, am glad I listened.

⚡️ WAR IN UKRAINE & RUSSIA — OCT 2, 2025 (1/2) ■ Engagements remain below average, casualties slightly below average ■ Modest equipment losses; 85% drones ■ Overnight attacks: all drones; interception rate could be better ... 📈 See dashboard for full data: lookerstudio.google.com/s/nHfGtzSY4QU

1/ Wealthy Russian organisations are donating large quantities of decades-old Soviet-era first aid kits to the front line. The kits' crumbling bandages and fragile tourniquets are proving useless in the field, costing the lives of an unknown number of wounded Russian soldiers. ⬇️

1/ Ukrainian drones are making it very difficult to reach the front lines near Pokrovsk, and all but impossible to travel with any supplies, according to a Russian soldier fighting there. He describes Russia trying to push forward over a carpet of corpses. ⬇️

1/ Russian prisoners of war released by Ukraine are "treated like cattle," put in chains by the Russian army, and sent back to the front line to fight, regardless of sickness or injuries. This practice is expressly prohibited by the Geneva Conventions. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/igor...

1/ Russian sappers in the Kursk region are said to have been "butchered" after being transferred to assault units, and have been replaced by North Koreans. It's another example of Russia expending specialists in deadly attacks on Ukrainian positions. ⬇️

1/ Ukraine's frequent drone attacks inside Russian territory are getting on Russian nerves, judging by an epically sweary rant by Russian military volunteer and warblogger Evgeny Golman. "Drones are fucking killing us, fucking hell," he declares. ⬇️

Hello! I’m back with the new fundraiser 🤍 🐈 This one is for drone jammers for the artillery of the 59th Assault brigade (Pokrovsk direction). I’d like to try and raise 42k(~$1000) out of 200kUAH To donate: send.monobank.ua/jar/222YFZQwht PayPal: [email protected] And there’s a raffle too! 1/ ⬇️

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Novak proposed to eliminate the import duties on gasoline from China, South Korea and Singapore. This will mean certain state oil companies will be able to import gasoline through the Russian Far East. kommersant.ru/doc/8079558

I suggest pausing and consciously reorienting your brain to NOT compare things to the market economy you may be used to. Instead, it may be more appropriate to begin defaulting back to a SOVIET economy and how that operated.

I would cross this off of my list of sentences I never thought I would write, but I never wrote that list.

Updated map of the regions of Russia where there are shortages of gasoline or diesel and how early was it first reported. As always it's worse in the occupied territories. Added 5 new regions since last update as Russia prepares for gasoline imports.

Russian Business news 30/September/2025: In H1 2025 Russian pawnshops gave out 190 billion rubles which is 42% higher than in H1 2024 and while in 2024 it was due to the increase in gold prices in 2025 it was because they gave out 16% more loans. www.kommersant.ru/doc/8078597

Z-vatnik from "Military Informant" channel comments on the enthusiastic report by the official "war correspondent" Semyon Pegov about the "revival of the cavalry":

Big sad

MAGA: "There is a war against Christianity!" Ukraine: "Yeah. We noticed"

Russian oil refinery in Samara covered with an extreme amount of anti drone structures.

1/ A Russian soldier has spoken out about being ordered to go on suicide missions. After he emerged as the only survivor of his group, he and a comrade were tied to a tree to be 'sacrificed to Baba Yaga'. He seems to expect that he may soon be murdered by his commander. ⬇️

If you failed to catch last night's @tochnyi.info stream where I talk about the Russian gasoline and the team presents its interactive map that tracks Russian war crimes against Ukrainian civilians in Kherson you can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wRD...

My take on how mighty the russia bumbled into a gasoline and diesel shortage explained in a single post.⬇️

In Astrakhan it seems that gas stations are out of not just gasoline but also diesel: astrakhan.su/news/society...

🌮always🐔out

According to the Astrakhan Ministry of Industry, Trade and Energy there's enough gasoline in storage, that gas stations don't actually have any isn't a sign of a shortage. Again another region where Russians are asked not to believe their eyes. bsky.app/profile/did:...

9. Jackpot! (at vatnik expense) Roman Alekhine caused a scandal in the Z-Vatnik blogosphere by (shockingly) getting exposed as totally corrupt – this has caused events that have been as lucky for everyone who supports Ukraine as hitting the jackpot in Vegas! theeasternborder.lv/podcast/9-ja...

1/ Russia is reportedly struggling to counter Ukraine's large 'Baba Yaga' drones, which are used at night for mining and resupply missions and now have onboard electronic warfare systems. The Russians have so far failed to create equivalent drones for their own use. ⬇️

1/ Russia is reportedly using criminal networks, neo-Nazis, and Telegram bots to recruit disaffected elements in the US and Europe to carry out espionage and sabotage. They have targeted English football hooligans and right-wing Americans with a bot called 'Eye of Sauron'. ⬇️
