Absolutely amazing, the good people of #Georgia protesting continuously — in two weeks it’ll be a Year! — for freedom and self-determination and against ruzzian influence. #StandWithGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
The regime: I’m gonna imprison you if you stand on the road on Rustaveli.

People of Georgia: Guess I’ll go to prison then.

The regime: Okay then I’ll physically prevent you from closing the Rustaveli road.

The people: Okay, let’s march and block roads elsewhere.

I have had another great talk with Jonathan from @siliconcurtain.bsky.social. You can listen to it here.
As Russia reduces Povrovsk to rubble, a transformation of battlefield tactics is taking place, forced by the rapid evolution of 'saturated' drone warfare. Drones favour the defender, but also mean that Russia is more of a threat. With @anderspucknielsen.dk - youtu.be/8p7oiuXe71g

New research shows that foreigners control thousands of Norwegian companies: – Insane!

1031 companies in Norway are controlled by people with Russian, Chinese or Iranian citizenship. – A significant insight we have not had before.

Bellingcat has been named an undesirable organisation in Russia because of our reporting on the country dating back to the downing of MH17 in 2014 by Russian-backed forces.

We will continue to report accurately on Russia and will not be intimidated by disinformation and false accusations.

It is perfectly possible (and imho the most likely) that we have a small fraction real hostile drones and a large fraction resulting drone hysteria.

We will not prove or disprove that with these fourth-hand imprecise descriptions of observations matched to flight tracks.

Jokes aside, it’s just phenomenal how massively Russia has lost goodwill and influence in Armenia. In 2013, 82 percent of respondents thought Russia to be Armenia’s best friend and protector. In 2025 the number is 14 percent.

It’s a historic opportunity that we can’t miss in Europe

Ukrainian dancers Vladyslav and Veronika won the final of Holland's Got Talent

Their dance was a story about love, freedom, and faith. One of the judges said, “It's not just a dance, it's a feeling of freedom.”

Whether from the darkness of 9.11.1938 or light of 9.11.1989, the lesson for 🇩🇪 in 2025 is clear: Fight for freedom. Stop fascists. #StandWithUkraine. Their fight for freedom & peace is ours.

Since the regime police physically blocks people from closing the Rustaveli road (something that imprisonment laws couldn't do), people in the last couple of days began marching on adjacent roads, blocking them.

🤬 A terrible moment - a drone hit a multi-storey building in Dnipro.
Local media publish heartbreaking footage.

At least 2 people dead and 11 injured so far. 💔
This is what russian “war against infrastructure” looks like - human lives under the rubble.

Economic pressure is key to ending Russia's war in Ukraine — U.S. diplomat
Economic pressure is key to ending Russia's war in Ukraine — U.S. diplomat
Matthew Bryza, diplomat, former adviser to the U.S. Secretary of State, former director for Europe and Eurasia at the U.S. National Security Council, stated this on Espreso TV."Ultimately, only one thing will force Putin to end the war - when Russia runs out of money. The sanctions that President Trump imposed against Lukoil and Rosneft were a sharp turn in U.S. policy. Previously, Washington adhered to an approach where Russian oil had to remain on world markets to prevent excessive price increases and their possible impact on the American economy and elections. The previous policy stipulated that Russian oil could only be bought at a price below a set limit - initially it was $60 per barrel," Bryza explained.He explained that the new American sanctions against the supply of Russian oil to world markets significantly affected Russia's capabilities, as Russia is rapidly spending its reserve funds."Now President Trump is pursuing a completely different policy aimed at reducing the supply of Russian oil to world markets, which effectively deprives the Kremlin of key sources of foreign exchange earnings. This deals a serious blow to the Russian economy, especially given that the country is rapidly spending its reserve funds. Despite Moscow's attempts to rebuild the economy on a war footing, there will come a moment when financial resources simply run out, and it will become impossible to continue the war," he added.According to the diplomat, Putin seeks to continue the war, and only economic pressure can force him to stop it."It is worth remembering that military production is one of the least economically efficient forms of investment. Weapons are created for use and are often destroyed on the battlefield, so they do not provide a lasting multiplier effect for the economy. I believe that economic pressure will eventually force Putin to end the war. He seeks to continue fighting for as long as possible, hoping that Ukraine will be exhausted first and that European support will disappear before Russia's financial resources run out," he concluded.Sanctions against the Russian FederationOn October 22, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions against Russia's two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, due to Moscow's unwillingness to end the war in Ukraine. It is noted that the restrictions are aimed at undermining Russia's ability to generate profits to continue the war, primarily through the energy sector.After the introduction of new U.S. sanctions, seaborne supplies of Russian crude oil fell to their lowest level since January 2024.On November 3, state-owned companies Sinopec and PetroChina Co. suspended purchases of some Russian cargoes. Smaller private refineries also joined the boycott.

The tide seems to be turning, indeed.
Monday, Serbia said they were ok with their ammunition going to Ukraine.

Wednesday, Serbia had a call with Ukraine where both agreed to work on their shared interest in regional security.

Yesterday, Serbia said they may join Russia sanctions.

Quite the pivot this week.

Bavarian public service TV (@br24.de) as a nice video about how the Bavarian police educate police officers to fly drones.

Interestingly, an important component of drone flying learning is learning to coordinate and collaborate with other police drone teams
