In Yaroslavl, the Novo-Yaroslavl oil refinery, one of the largest petroleum producers in Russia, is on fire. Its processing capacity is about 15 million tons of oil per year. Yaroslavl region governor Mikhail Evraev claimed the blaze was not related to a drone attack.

⚡️Unidentified drones may have spied on critical infrastructure in Germany, media reports. The drones flew over power plants, a university hospital, military installations, and the official residence of Schleswig-Holstein’s state government.

As of September 28, 38% of Russia's primary oil refining capacity - equivalent to 338,000 tons per day - was out of operation. Drone attacks that have struck more than two dozen major oil refineries in Russia since early August have driven the Russian fuel market into an unprecedented crisis.

Kostiantynivka, wiped off the face of the earth by Russia.

youtube.com/shorts/mMf6P... The world said Never Again. Yet in Ukraine, it’s happening again and again: The world once vowed Never Again, but in Ukraine, from Mariupol to Bucha, it’s happening again and again. History isn’t repeating, it’s being allowed to continue. #NeverAgain #Ukraine #WarCrimes

💔 Yesterday's Russian missile strike on Dnipro killed a man who had only been married a week and a half ago...

That grinding sound you are hearing is the Ukrainians relentlessly dissecting arguably the most important part of the Russian economy. And they are doing this with almost no help from their partners--indeed the US has tried to stop them from attacking into Russia. kyivindependent.com/russia-to-be...

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Are the lights going out on Georgian democracy as opposition parties face ban? At this point, there should be no doubt left that the oligarchs, who have captured all of Georgia's key state institutions, act as Russia's asset on Georgian soil tvpworld.com/89233471/lig...

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

Trump opens with a threat to the generals: "I've never walked into a room so silent … Have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud ... If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future. But you just feel nice and loose."

Princess Anne arrived in Kyiv on an unannounced visit. She met with the Zelenskys, honoured the memory of the children who died, and spoke with teenagers who were returned from Russian deportation.

Princess Anne visited Kyiv to support children and war veterans. She met President Zelenskyy to discuss UK aid and toured the Children’s Memorial and Child Rights Protection Center, which helps youth affected by the war.

Trump to generals: "We have beautiful paper, the gorgeous paper. I said, 'throw a little more gold on it, they deserve it. I want the A paper not the D paper.' We used to sign a piece of garbage ... I want to use the big beautiful firm paper."
