This is a must-read investigation by InformNapalm and Ukrainian Militant showing how Russian intelligence attempted to organize a paid protest in Budapest to promote Rosatom’s nuclear project. I translated it into English so that everyone can see Russia’s tactics.

This has to be one of the wildest stories I have read in awhile. Kushner’s phone was hacked by GRU, the Dutch recruited one of the agents & ended up stumbling into screenshots from Kushner’s phone. Then the Dutch hacked into his phone & were able to see everything, including secret bank accounts Wow

My latest on what European investigators are uncovering about Russia’s attacks across Europe. Meanwhile, the traitor in chief continues to reward war criminal Putin and give Russia a green light to escalate.

olgalautman.substack.comAs Putin Personally Orders Attacks Against NATO, Trump Rewards HimEarlier this week in Denmark, two young men were charged with allegedly spying on a defense company, with prosecutors accusing them of gathering information for Russian intelligence.

Ukrainians again had no advance warning as ballistic missiles were raining down as Starlink continues to be restricted. And the U.S. has not delivered Patriot interceptors that Europe has paid for. Is anyone in Congress home? Are they ok with helping Russia kill Ukrainians?

olgalautman.substack.comTrump Leaves Ukraine Without Advance Missile Warnings and Restricts Starshield as Russia Escalates Deadly AttacksLate Friday night, Trump quietly handed Putin yet another gift, signing an executive order waiving sweeping new sanctions against Russia under the Lindsey Graham Act, just two days before they were se...

Ukrainian media is reporting that there was no warning as ballistic missiles hit Kyiv. The damn air raid alert went off as missiles were exploding . That means Intel sharing has not been restored

Here are all the other gifts over the past week bsky.app/profile/olga...

I put a list of things that Trump officials have done or proposed since last Friday to help Russia kill Ukrainians and fund Russia’s genocidal war machine.. Seeing it all together is even more damning

This is barely getting any attention as Russia’s escalating attacks turn deadly. Over the past few days, several tankers have been attacked, two have sunk, and several people have been killed. One of the tankers was attacked today in Romania’s territorial waters. So in NATO territory.

olgalautman.substack.comRussian Drones Strike Tanker in NATO Territorial Waters as Deadly Attacks EscalateJust days after commercial ships were attacked by drones near Bulgaria, with one sinking and eleven sailors missing, more ships have been hit in the Black Sea, this time near Romania, where eight peop...

So in the past few days Trump has taken sanctions off Russia’s energy, asked to buy diesel from Russia, restricted SpaceX Starlink, stopped sharing intel on incoming missiles, & asked Europe to unfreeze Russian assets to give to Russia. Hope Americans aren’t confused on who he works for

ft.comUS floats unfreezing some Russian assets to restart Ukraine peace talksEuropean officials balked at proposal made by Donald Trump’s negotiators during meeting in Miami

As if things weren’t bad enough, Russian media is reporting that Kash Patel has arrived in Moscow. And a reminder he was paid by a Russian agent to participate in a documentary to spew disinformation and attack US agencies

Trump, Witkoff, Kushner, musk, are doing everything to help terrorist Russia murder Ukrainians. Siding with terrorists, restricting Starlink on top of funding genocide. This is beyond outrageous

This is the 2nd day that there was no early warning given to Ukraine from allies as Russia attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles. No freaking early air raid sirens and now 2 murdered and 21 injured as terrorist Russia yet again hit a residential building

South Korea secretly shipped Russia fuel, including diesel, and then picked a diplomatic fight with Ukraine. Meanwhile, Moscow is training North Koreans in drone manufacturing and helping them gain battlefield experience that threatens South Korea and the region. My latest for @cepa.org

cepa.orgUkraine Has Problems With Both KoreasSouth Korea’s recent behavior toward Ukraine seems mystifying given its vulnerability to attack from the North Korea.

The October non-surprise… Paxton and his girlfriend partied in Dubai with two fugitives who didn’t return to the U.S. to face federal healthcare fraud charges. One of them even donated $190,000 to Paxton Normally it would be a wtf moment but nothing is surprising with these republicans

So according to Russian media, Putin conveyed to Trump the Iranian proposal to end the war. This is laughable considering Russia wants the U.S. in this war. Also didn’t Trump tell us 100 times he won the war. So what is there to discuss?

This is so sick. So a Russian blood diesel vessel is on its way to NC set to arrive tomorrow. It left St Petersburg on Sept 22nd. This Trump-Putin plan has been in the works for weeks can’t picture what allies America will have left after this

There was an incident on Latvia’s border where armed, masked men tried to push migrants through & threatened Latvian soldiers. Meanwhile, on the same day, a Moscow court declared 13 people/5 organizations from Baltic states “Nazi” collaborators. My latest… olgalautman.substack.com/p/masked-men...

olgalautman.substack.comMasked Men at Latvia’s Border as Moscow Builds a “Nazi” Narrative Around the BalticsMonday was another one of those days when individual events may not seem particularly unusual, but putting several things together paints a much more concerning picture.

So this explains the bizarre attack on Zelenskyy by the South Korean president He probably knew this was coming out and wanted to get ahead of this investigation showing that SK is assisting the Russian terrorist genocidal regime

Russian-born American businessman Konstantin Sokolov gave $11M to MAGA Inc. and donated to Trump’s ballroom. He was recently tapped to lead Trump’s $201M TRIPP+ investment fund. @luchkov.bsky.social and I dug into his past and found that his former partner worked for Oleg Deripaska.

I read about the break-ins in Finland and immediately remembered a story John Sipher told me years ago when he was stationed in Moscow. I don’t know if Russia is behind this but it does have the hallmarks of an old KGB tactic

olgalautman.substack.comSomeone Is Entering the Homes of Finnish MPs and Leaving Signs BehindToday, for a change, I am not writing about explosions, arson attacks, drone incursions, information operations, or critical infrastructure going up in flames somewhere in Europe.

Several countries, including the UK, France and the Baltic countries did not receive an invite to a planned meeting in Poland that will focus on NATO’s future Trump and his cronies are doing everything to ruin NATO as Russia escalates across Europe. More gifts for Putin

politico.comPentagon excludes key allies from NATO meetingSome of Europe’s biggest defense spenders — and U.S. allies — were not invited to a Pentagon-led meeting to discuss the alliance.

My latest… Moscow is “grateful” as Trump invites wanted war criminal Putin to the G20. This comes just weeks after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent invited Russia’s sanctioned finance minister to North Carolina for the G20 finance meeting.

Russia spent decades cultivating Germany’s AfD. And of course, to assist in elections, Moscow is sweetening the pot with its cheap gas And why are Witkoff and Kushner’s names being floated for potential talks between Putin’s money man, Dmitriev (who seems to be everywhere these days) & AfD leaders?

olgalautman.substack.comGermany’s AfD, Gazprom, and Moscow’s Long GameIt has been four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine forced Germany to begin unwinding its decades-long dependence on Russian energy.

I can’t believe how little media coverage any of this is getting. Russia is escalating across Europe, Poland is warning of possible Russian strikes on NATO countries, and Lithuania is preparing evacuation routes in the event of a military attack. You wouldn’t know it from our media

olgalautman.substack.comLithuania Prepares Evacuation Route to Poland in Case of Russian AttackWith warnings growing that Russia could launch a military attack against NATO countries, Lithuania and Poland are getting ready.
