Ukrainian forces struck a Russian attack-drone storage, preparation and launch site in occupied Donetsk on September 26-27, the General Staff says. Two ammunition depots in Krepenkyi and occupied Luhansk were also hit, along with logistics and fuel depots. #Ukraine

Ukraine’s NC13 unit deployed upgraded kamikaze ground robots armed with two Bullspike grenade launchers during Operation Vivaldi. The UGVs attacked Russian positions before detonating inside shelters, while operators controlled them from tens of kilometers away. #Ukraine

A bit rich from disgraced former PM Boris Johnson, who created the Channel crossing issue and was in charge during the peak year for arrivals. He also (with Patel) failed to increase asylum claim resources to match increased arrivals, thereby also creating the hotels 'crisis'.

Absolutely fascinating to see Laura Kuenssberg interviewing Burnham, flailing to adjust her stance to a politician with a moral argument and a positive message, who stands up for his policies and answers her questions clearly. She is getting so agitated at him not playing the game by the 'rules'.

Burnham is looking totally pissed off. I would love him to just say, "shut the fuck up and let me answer". She makes no attempt to hide her bias by trying to trip up the PM and nodding along to Philp with no challenge.

Putin is a terrorist perpetrating genocide in Ukraine and committing crimes against humanity. The Russian speaking Ukrainians of Donbas, Luhansk and Crimea were not "saved" by Russian soldiers. They endured atrocities by Russian soldiers then were sent to the front as meat waves where they died.

Kuenssberg couldn't sleep last night, imagining how she would spring "Santa Burnham" on the PM. She is crestfallen that he actually has a cogent answer, that is not a version of "it's true, poor people are wicked and must be punished".

Russia continues its terror against Ukrainian civilians. Russian drones targeted Kyiv and Kyiv region throughout the day yesterday and into the night, with attacks continuing today. A man was killed in Kyiv. A woman&two 16-year-old children were injured. 📹A Russian drone struck a school in Kyiv.

This image is doing the rounds in other places. If our youngsters see these people as role models/heroes, as a country we are screwed. They are dangerous. They are a threat to National Security and should be treated as such. This needs to be dealt with. NOW.

Boris Johnson championed Brexit after which small boat crossings shot up but instead of apologising (and for the £billions lost to the UK economy) he's blaming 'Labour ideology' which has decreased crossings dramatically!!!

"When the attacks started, we realized that the challenge was about more than raising investment. It's also about keeping supply chains and businesses going, like pharmacies, food and retail goods that are needed to survive," Deputy Economy Minister Yegor Perelygin told the Kyiv Independent.

300+ targets downed by crews this weekend ❤️‍🔥 One of the most effective units downed 70% of Shaheds and Gerberas remotely using Hornet Vision CTRL. Overall, more than 200 Shaheds were destroyed within 24 hours. That means hundreds of lives saved thanks to the skill of the Ukrainian Defense Forces 🙏

In some contrived world, I can sorta understand people being afraid of "others" What I'll never understand is voting for parties (Reform, AfD, National Rally) that are openly sympathetic to Putin's Russia. Apparently "taking back control" now means handing influence to the Kremlin🤷

The moment two FPV drones were dropped from a Gerbera last night ‼️ Footage from BULAVA of the 72nd Mechanized Brigade, who were actively operating interceptor STING drones that same night. Previously, a crew of the 36th Separate Road Restoration Brigade downed a Shahed carrier with two FPV 👇

A STING interceptor shot down a Shahed carrying two FPV drones. A crew from the 36th Marine Brigade intercepted an enemy Shahed with two FPV drones on board. It was likely a so-called “mothership” drone. Sharing the work of our defenders as the enemy continues its attacks on Kyiv.

Fire Point says its long-range FP-9 ballistic missile is currently undergoing flight tests. Developers say Ukraine lacks enough territory for a full-range ballistic test, meaning the missile's future military trials could transition directly into operational launches against Russian targets #Ukraine

❗️Fire Point says its FP-7 ballistic missile has entered military trials after successfully completing ground, laboratory and flight-testing stages. CEO Iryna Terekh said the missile could move to operational use soon: "We're talking weeks, not months." #Ukraine

So rather than put Texas ABC affiliates in the middle of it, Kimmel says the full interview will be posted to YouTube instead. This is where we are now. A candidate interview gets moved off broadcast television because local stations are worried about what the federal government might do next.
