Russia is launching ballistic missiles at Kyiv right now, so I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Hegseth for doing FUCKING NOTHING.

“We’ve been waiting nearly a month for Mr. Hegseth to sign off on missiles for Patriot and NASAMS air defense systems,” – Zelenskyy.

"We still do not have final results, on the basis of a sample ... it is clear that we have lost these elections, the Student List has won, they will have between 135 and 140 seats and we will have 105, no one else has entered parliament," har Vucic sagt på et overstået pressemøde.

Musk is lying about Ukraine using civilian Starlink on combat drones. Since February, any Starlink terminal operating in motion has needed military Starshield authorization. No Starshield – no connection. Using civilian Starlink on drones was technically impossible. Period.

Many people here enjoy the chronological feed and being free from algorithms, but if you're looking for an algorithmic feed, I can recommend trying @mu.social's fu-page (yes, that's what they call it, but apparently it's "For you"). I find it very useful for surfacing interesting posts.

“How much time do you think this defense secretary spends looking in the mirror in the morning? These are not serious people” — Obama’s audience in Ohio is hanging on every word as he skewers Trump and Hegseth

Ukraine may now begin exporting long-range strike weapons to Germany. It has only been four years since Germany refused to provide offensive weapons to Ukraine because Scholz was afraid of escalation.

Germany is negotiating to purchase Bars jet-powered drones from Ukraine. These drones feature a 1,000 km range and speeds of up to 700 km/h. kyivindependent.com/germany-in-t...

Maybe we should replace Steve Witkoff with Melania. I doubt she did much to secure this deal, but probably a lot more than Witkoff has done.

US first lady Melania Trump secured a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in the Russian-controlled city of Oleshky, which will begin on October 29, the White House said reut.rs/4eR8jub

🇩🇰 Denmark is fast-tracking the delivery of over 50,000 rounds of 20 mm ammunition for Ukraine's air defence. This supply is expected to last 8–10 days against Russian jet-powered Shahed drones. Thank you, #Denmark!

Alina Pereverzieva 🇺🇦@perevaa.bsky.social

Ukraine is shooting down 50–60% of Russian jet-powered drones, with F-16s and 20 mm ammunition proving highly effective, Zelenskyy says. Kyiv is now seeking 5,000–6,000 rounds a day.

Serhii 'Flash' Beskrestnov says Starshield restrictions were NOT removed. Trump and the FT pulled some bullshit yesterday.

Alina Pereverzieva 🇺🇦@perevaa.bsky.social

As for the lifting of Starshield restrictions, I wouldn’t celebrate yet. Let’s wait for confirmation from our MoD and see if it actually works properly for at least a week.

Denmark has decided to procure Anthem missiles from the US-Israeli company Covenant, owned among others by Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen. The rationale is probably quick delivery, but it misses the point that control with the production line may be more important than the missiles in stock.

Well, no shit, just standing there and catching Russian ballistics with your face is risky, too. So we may as well take the risk and, hear me out, fight back? ​Please don't vote for this evil Russian appendix in Germany!

The trilateral talks with Russia are irrelevant. They've been going on for 18 months now without getting anywhere. What's interesting is the US-Ukraine relationship.

Me too. Many commentators say that the Trump-Putin diesel deal is about the midterms, but it doesn't fit as a campaign strategy. It makes much more sense as a helping hand to Putin at the verge of Russia's winter campaign — with the aim of making winter more miserable for Ukrainians.

Michael McFaul@mcfaulmike.bsky.social

I'm not an expert on American electoral politics, but it's hard for me to understand how Trump's embrace of Putin— a leader who over 80% of Americans don't like—helps Republicans win more votes in November.

It is so important that European leaders acknowledge the truth as Kaja Kallas does here. Trump and the USG have been trying to force Ukraine to surrender for almost two years. There has been no recent pivot to Russia. It’s been a constant US policy www.euronews.com/2026/10/20/k...

Phone-free lessons boosts grades. My colleague Andreas Bjerre-Nielsen has conducted an experiment involving 16,000 students. It shows that phone-free teaching improves academic performance – particularly amongst students who have the lowest grades. Read the study, published in Science, here:

President Trump: Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much. Comment from me: see quoted post.

Today, five children killed by a Russian attack - 13-year-old Zakharii, 14-year-old Viorika, 16-year-old Dominika, 9-year-old Federika, and 18-month-old Artem - were laid to rest in Radushne, Dnipropetrovsk region. A Russian missile struck the Voronov family's home on the night of July 29-30.

3 days ago Trump said if it wasn't for one dumb general Russia would have seized Kyiv on day one. Today Rubio is telling us that the war isn't about controlling Ukraine, it's just about Donetsk. They can't get their story straight, but they all seem in a big hurry to sell out Ukraine to Putin.

Olga Nesterova@onestpress.onestnetwork.com

Rubio: “The war in Ukraine is about one region, Donetsk. Russia occupies all but about 11% of it. Ukraine's line there is its last defensible one: beyond it, a straight shot into Kyiv. Russia demands all of Donetsk, including that line, as its definition of victory.”

Anders Puck Nielsen reposted

One of the Republican staffers on the Hill told us back in early 2025 that with Trump, it would be “a bumpy road to peace.” So far, all I've seen is a highway to hell.

Putin has never said that he will agree to a peace agreement if he gets the rest of Donbas. What Putin has said is that if Ukraine gives him he get the rest of Donbas, then he will be willing to begin negotiations about the rest of Russia's conditions for peace.

Sven-Erik Volberg@volberg.bsky.social

Rubio has lost his mind: The war in Ukraine is about one region, Donetsk. russia occupies all but about 11% of it.

Re: Putin's proposal for a "Big 3" summit. This vision is not new. I argued in "The Code of Putinism" (2018) that he has been interested in this for a while. Here is a passage on his 2015 UN General Assembly speech:

Trump views Ukraine as Russia's Canada. Because Trump does not believe Canada has sovereignty and the right to be independent from The United States, Trump will always take Russia's side. Great video from Anders Puck Nielsen. @anderspucknielsen.dk

No, it won't. Putin doesn't want to meet Zelensky, and Trump isn't going to push him.

Anton Gerashchenko@antongerashchenko.bsky.social

A meeting with Putin may take place during the G20 summit in the United States - President Zelenskyy Washington is considering a proposal for trilateral talks between Ukraine, the U.S., and Russia. Other possible venues include the UAE, Saudi Arabia, or a European country.

At the end, it doesn’t matter whether it’s SpaceX/Starshield, Musk, or the White House. For the end user, the result is the same: the product will be politically weaponized against you. Whether the White House orders it or Musk proposes it makes no difference. by @tatarigami.bsky.social

A few smart people are wondering whether Putin has threatened to leak whatever he has on Trump, given Trump’s outrageously pro-Kremlin behaviour. The answer is still no.

Elon Musk reportedly pushed Trump to slow Starlink in Ukraine, The Telegraph reports. The restrictions left Ukrainian forces unable to intercept some Russian jet-powered drones, weakening Ukraine’s defenses as Russian drones continued to attack cities across the country. buff.ly/FI66cYr
