uawire.orgIT specialist jailed for 13 years for Ukrainian army donations after Binance shared records with Russian investigatorsThe 2nd Western District Military Court has sentenced 49-year-old IT specialist Yuriy Belenky to 13 years in prison on charges of "financing terrorism," according to the legal aid group Perviy Otdel . Under the court's ruling, Belenky will spend the first three years in prison, with the remainder of his sentence to be served in a high-security penal colony. The court also imposed a fine of 500,000 rubles (about $5,000) and ordered the confiscation of an additional 126,000 rubles (about $1,300). The case against Belenky began after he made a transfer to a bank account published by blogger Arkady Babchenko, who was fundraising for the needs of Ukraine's Armed Forces. Cryptocurrency exchange Binance provided a record of these transfers at the request of Russia's Investigative Committee. Belenky had been living in Bulgaria since 2015 and held a residence permit in the European Union, but continued to visit Russia occasionally. In September 2025, he was detained at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport, purportedly for "petty hooliganism." Soon after, authorities opened a criminal case against him for allegedly aiding terrorist activity. Investigators charged Belenky with making six transfers totaling 742.26 USDT (62,000 rubles, about $670) to support Ukraine's Armed Forces. Babchenko's cryptocurrency addresses are public, allowing any user to view their transaction history and current balance. Law enforcement officials first learned of Belenky's specific transfers from a Telegram chat run by the journalist, in which users shared information about their donations. In October last year, the Investigative Committee requested that Binance provide transaction histories for several users, including Belenky, citing opened criminal cases under "terrorism" charges. The report Binance sent to investigators included a detailed history of Belenky's account, featuring personal data, scanned documents, records of transfers, deposits and withdrawals, Binance Pay card transaction details, login history, and a list of trusted devices. This report revealed nine further transfers by Belenky to Babchenko's address, bringing the total attributed to him to 15 transfers amounting to 1,680.69 USDT (135,000 rubles, about $1,460). Arkady Babchenko, a former journalist and war correspondent, left Russia in 2017. In July 2020, Russia's financial watchdog Rosfinmonitoring added him to its list of terrorists and extremists, and in April 2023, he was declared a "foreign agent."

uawire.orgUkraine awaits US approval for new Patriot, NASAMS missile deliveries, Zelensky saysA decision on supplying missiles for the Patriot and NASAMS air defense systems has been awaiting the signature of Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth for nearly a month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said . Zelensky instructed his team to raise the issue with Washington again, adding that Kyiv is also in talks with European countries and other partners about securing additional interceptors. According to Zelensky, he chaired a conference call focused on weapons deliveries from Ukraine’s partners and on restoring the country’s energy system after Russian strikes. Defense Minister, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and the Foreign Minister updated him on the status of air defense supplies, particularly missiles for Patriot systems. Kyiv is negotiating simultaneously with the United States, European countries, and other partners who hold stocks of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles. "We are working on several fronts: with the United States, Europe, and other partners who have PAC-2 and PAC-3 missile stocks. In particular, we have been waiting for nearly a month for Mr. Hegseth’s signature on the decision for Patriot and NASAMS missiles. I have instructed that this issue be discussed again with the American side. Negotiations also continue with other countries," Zelensky said. The meeting also addressed preparations for the upcoming "Ramstein" format meeting, scheduled for November. Zelensky stressed the need to accelerate the implementation of previously agreed decisions, noting that some commitments have remained unfulfilled for an extended period. He described each support package as an opportunity to save lives and thanked those partners who are helping to speed up desperately needed deliveries. Earlier, the head of communications for the Air Force Command, Yurii Ihnat, said in a podcast with RBK-Ukraine that the volume of Patriot missiles expended in the Middle East would have been enough to sustain Ukraine's batteries for several years. Ihnat attributed the current shortage of interceptors partly to this situation. He added that over the course of the large-scale war, Ukrainian forces have adapted their approach to operating American systems and have learned to use the expensive missiles more efficiently. Meanwhile, media outlets reported that Pete Hegseth has delayed the delivery of the next batch of Patriot missiles to Ukraine, which are intended to intercept Russian ballistic rockets. Zelensky himself has spoken about the difficulties in obtaining certain types of weapons—and the question remains about the fate of contracts already paid for by European partners under the PURL military aid program.

On Monday, October 26, a Moldovan delegation led by the country's prime minister, Vasile Tofan, arrived in Kyiv. The visit resulted in an agreement to deepen defense cooperation. Tofan announced his visit to the Ukrainian capital. "Today I am in Kyiv to reaffirm Moldova's support for our Ukrainian neighbors and friends, and to discuss joint projects in infrastructure, energy, and security," the Moldovan prime minister wrote. He added that Moldova is prepared to serve as a logistical center for Ukraine and as its gateway to Southeastern Europe. According to reports , a key focus of this visit was to strengthen cooperation in defense. The two countries signed a military-technical cooperation agreement. Chișinău specifically aims to learn from Ukraine's extensive experience in countering Russian drone attacks. Tofan noted that Russian drones have crossed into Moldovan territory more than 100 times, and that the threat from Moscow continues to grow. Previously, Russia was reported to have carried out large-scale drone attacks on Moldova. Other reports stated that Kovalenko explained why Russian kamikaze drones have recently begun entering Moldova in greater numbers.

uawire.orgRomania uncovers Russian-led sabotage network targeting defense sites in EuropeRomania has uncovered a sabotage network that it says was coordinated directly by Russian intelligence services, the country's domestic intelligence agency SRI announced on Monday, October 26. According to the agency, the network attempted to set fire to the Carfil weapons factory in the city of Brașov on September 14. Reuters quoted the agency as saying: "Coordinators from the Russian Federation provided the group with an extensive list of targets in the region: state and private arms manufacturers, as well as other sites of military and industrial interest." The agency was unable to reach the Russian embassy in Bucharest for comment but noted that Moscow has repeatedly denied such allegations. The suspects include two Belarusian citizens and one Ukrainian citizen. Two of them were detained in Germany while allegedly preparing similar acts of sabotage, while the third is wanted in Poland, according to the Romanian TV channel Știri. Bucharest is seeking their extradition to Romania. A year ago, Poland and Romania detained eight people suspected of being involved in a Russian plan to send parcels containing explosives to Ukraine. Romania, a member of the European Union and NATO, shares a land border with Ukraine of more than 600 kilometers. President Nicușor Dan has previously stated that Romania is targeted in a hybrid war waged by Russia to destabilize countries supporting Ukraine in its defense against Russian military aggression. Romanian Foreign Minister Dan Nicolaescu told AFP that the Brașov fire was "part of a broader sabotage campaign across Europe" targeting defense production. The SRI said that for such acts of sabotage, recruits are usually found via social media, initially being offered money for "seemingly harmless tasks" such as "monitoring or photographing certain facilities." Its statement added, "The tasks then become more serious and may include acts of vandalism, arson, or even murder." Russian President Vladimir Putin personally ordered an escalation of sabotage operations against NATO countries, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on October 20, citing three European officials familiar with US intelligence findings. According to the report, a failed drone attack at the German airport in Leipzig on August 4 was one of the first actions in this new sabotage campaign. After the Leipzig incident, Russian representatives used an informal communications channel to warn the German government that Leipzig would not be the last target, according to sources familiar with the conversation. The uptick in covert operations reportedly coincided with Russia's lack of major battlefield successes in Ukraine and increased Ukrainian strikes deep inside Russian territory. That incident was followed by a series of new events across Europe. In August, drone-manufacturing plants in Estonia and Poland were set on fire. Slovakian authorities reported that arson at a similar facility had been prevented during the same period. Poland, Lithuania, and Bulgaria have reported acts of sabotage targeting ground stations of the Starlink satellite system. Western officials say the sabotage campaign is being organized by the Department of Special Tasks of the Russian General Staff's Main Directorate, a unit established after the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The unit is led by Colonel General Andrey Averyanov. Western intelligence services have also identified Colonel Denis Smolyaninov, one of the unit's leaders, as being involved in the Leipzig operation, according to the WSJ.

uawire.orgSlovakia plans to expand cooperation with Russia outside sanctioned sectorsSlovakia plans to expand cooperation with Russia in areas not covered by sanctions, Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár said Monday, October 26, following his visit to Moscow. His statement was published on the Slovak Foreign Ministry's website . Blanár led Slovakia’s delegation at the 22nd meeting of the bilateral intergovernmental commission on economic and scientific-technical cooperation. The previous session was held in 2021. The Russian side was headed by Russian Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov. According to Blanár , the meetings—including talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov—focused on Slovakia’s energy security, bilateral relations with an emphasis on economic cooperation, and the war in Ukraine. Blanár said it was necessary to maintain dialogue with Russia to resolve “situations arising from the European Commission’s decisions to phase out Russian energy resources” by the end of 2027. The Slovak Foreign Ministry’s website reported that Lavrov assured Blanár that Russia “remains ready to fulfill its contractual obligations.” Commenting on the war in Ukraine, the Slovak minister said both sides understood “how important it is to consider the root causes of this conflict and to actively support dialogue with all parties” to bring it to an end. According to Blanár, Lavrov described his proposal for “preparatory low-level negotiations” in Bratislava as “acceptable.” Blanár, a member of the ruling left-centrist party Direction – Social Democracy, faced sharp criticism from opposition parties over his trip. Gábor Grendel, a politician and journalist representing the conservative Nova party in parliament, called the visit by the foreign minister to Russia “an international disgrace”. On his social media accounts, Grendel demanded Blanár explain “what exactly his trip to Moscow brought to the citizens of Slovakia.” Former foreign minister Ivan Korčok, a member of the liberal Freedom and Solidarity party, called Blanár “the undertaker of Slovak foreign policy.” He claimed Blanár planned to ask Lavrov for permission to increase the number of Slovak embassy staff in Moscow. Similar comments have previously been voiced by other Slovak opposition figures. Blanár’s visit was not the first recent trip to Russia by a top Slovak official. On May 8, Prime Minister Robert Fico traveled to Moscow. On the eve of Victory Day, he laid flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and met with Russian President Vladimir Putin the next day. However, Fico did not attend the parade on Red Square.

uawire.orgNorwegian politician admits to delivering prohibited drones to UkrainePeter Frølich, a member of Norway's Conservative Party, played a role in the illegal delivery of drones equipped with thermal cameras to Ukraine in 2023, according to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, which cited the news agencies TT and NTB. The Norwegian outlet VG also reported on the incident. Frølich, who represents the Conservative Party of Norway, has been involved for several years with Fritt Ukraina (Free Ukraine), an organization he founded with a group of volunteers. The organization supplies drones to the Ukrainian military. In his book If War Breaks Out, Frølich describes several trips to Ukraine, including a 2023 episode in which he knowingly broke the law to help deliver drones. Frølich spoke about these actions on Wednesday during the program Politisk kvarter on Norway's NRK television channel. At the time, Norwegian customs officials halted the shipment because its export was banned under legislation dating back to the 1950s. Frølich then contacted the Norwegian government directly, warning that delays could cost Ukrainian soldiers their lives. Despite existing restrictions, the organization ultimately managed to get the drones to Ukraine. The news reports did not specify how the drones crossed the border. Later, Fritt Ukraina said the government would expedite a review of export regulations. The rules were subsequently amended to allow Norwegian citizens to legally send civilian drones to Ukraine. Frølich has said he does not regret breaking the law. Norway has provided Ukraine with military and civilian assistance since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion. In October this year, the Norwegian government announced an additional 750 million Norwegian kroner (about $78.8 million) for aid to the Ukrainian population and reconstruction efforts.

uawire.orgUkraine says strikes on Russian plants disrupt missile productionUkrainian strikes have dealt significant damage to several key Russian industrial plants, complicating the production of cruise and ballistic missiles, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine . On the previous day, Ukrainian forces launched missile strikes on the Energiya plant in Yelets, Lipetsk region—the only Russian facility that makes batteries for planning and guidance modules used in aerial bombs. The General Staff said the attack caused a major fire and inflicted substantial damage on the workshop where batteries for missiles and aerial bombs are produced. The plant reportedly also manufactures batteries for sea-launched missiles and Iskander-M missile complexes. Military officials said that a strike on the Proton-Electrotex plant in Russia’s Oryol region on October 23 destroyed its main microchip production workshop, damaged servers, and affected other factory buildings. On the same day, Ukrainian defenders struck a drone storage and launch site near Russian-occupied Donetsk. The military said they damaged a launch rail and several buildings used to prepare and equip Russian loitering munitions, often referred to as "kamikaze drones." A day later, Ukrainian forces attacked the Tolyattikauchuk plant in Russia’s Samara region, a facility producing synthetic rubber. Two butyl rubber manufacturing units, a technological pipeline, and a rectification installation were reported damaged in the strikes. The Ukrainian military said these strikes on the three plants are impeding Russia’s ability to produce solid rocket fuel, batteries, and components for guided aerial bombs, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles. On the day of reporting, Ukrainian drones struck the Voronezhsintezkauchuk plant, which manufactures thermoplastic elastomers and synthetic rubber. Explosions were also heard a day earlier at the Avisma plant, described as the world’s largest titanium producer.

uawire.orgDrone attacks hit Voronezh, Russia, killing two and damaging infrastructureA total of 113 drones were destroyed over the Voronezh urban area and surrounding districts overnight on October 26, with more than 70 of them brought down above Voronezh itself, regional governor Oleksandr Gusev said on Telegram. According to Gusev, drone debris struck a train in a left-bank suburb. Two men, born in 1960 and 1973, were killed and 17 people were injured, including one child. Gusev said that a significant number of those injured—including two listed in serious condition—had been aboard the train. The Russian Railways (RZhD) Telegram channel reported that a carriage on passenger train No. 11, running from Anapa to Moscow, was damaged at Somovo station. Preliminary information indicated five people were injured. Power supply was cut along the Tresvyatskaya–Somovo–Otrozhka–Voronezh route, and train service was suspended. Delays were expected for southbound passenger and suburban trains. Fires were also reported at several industrial sites, a business center, an apartment building, two cottage settlements, a school stadium and a garage complex. Building facades and windows across the city sustained damage, Gusev added. The Telegram channel Supernova+ reported that the Voronezh Aircraft Manufacturing Company (VASO) was targeted in the attack. The company produces long-range wide-body Il-96 aircraft and components for other types of planes, and Supernova+ described VASO as a strategic asset for Russia’s aviation industry. The same channel said the Northern Bridge over the Voronezh Reservoir was also attacked. Defense firm Fire Point wrote on Telegram that Ukrainian FP-1 drones reportedly struck the petrochemical plant Voronezhsintezkauchuk, which manufactures synthetic rubbers and SBS polymers. The plant had previously been hit in September, according to Reuters . An open-source intelligence analysis by the Telegram channel ASTRA indicated that drone and missile threats had been reported in the region, and that residential neighborhoods in the city were shrouded in smoke from the fires.
