This is Makar. He was 7. Russia murdered him🕯

On the night of October 10th, a Russian drone struck the Dorosh family’s home in Zaporizhzhia.
Everyone was inside: mother Svitlana, father Hryhorii, their two daughters: 17-year-old Oleksandra and 13-year-old Yaroslava, and 7-year-old Makar.

Last night, russia murdered a 7yo boy in Zaporizhzhia and brought a lot of damage to the Ukrainian energy system attempting to freeze us into capitulation in winter.

This won’t stop until russia tastes its own pill. Every effort to manage escalation has only led to impunity and more escalation.

Only One Response Can Be Given to Russian Terror: More Strength, Air Defenses, and Pressure on Russia, So That They Are Truly Held Accountable for Everything – Address by the President

10 October 2025 – 21:31

Dear Ukrainians!

All day long, recovery efforts have been underway following the Russian strike. It’s a great deal of work. Electricity has already been restored for more than 725,000 families: Kyiv and the Kyiv region, the Dnipro and Kirovohrad regions, Cherkasy, and Chernihiv. The situation remains difficult in the Sumy region, as well as in the Kharkiv, Kherson, and Donetsk regions, due to security challenges, which complicate repair work. During the day, there were new drone attacks, shelling, and air raid alerts. Work is still ongoing in our capital.

Where necessary, energy companies have arranged for scheduled electricity supplies. In Kyiv and the Kirovohrad region, water supply restoration efforts continued throughout the day. In Kyiv, it is almost fully restored; in the Kirovohrad region, the pumps are being restarted, and the system is being refilled.

The task for all our regions is to ensure sufficient backup power for water utilities. In some communities, this has already been implemented, and it should be extended to those where we currently observe the relevant issues. Today’s strike has resulted in casualties, particularly in Kyiv and the regions, at energy facilities. Everyone is receiving assistance. Tragically, in Zaporizhzhia, the Russians have killed a child – the boy was 7 years old – my condolences.

Putin is clearly taking advantage of the moment while the world is almost entirely focused on the prospect of establishing peace in the Middle East. Most countries, all key leaders, have their attention fixed on what is happening there. And this is truly a good opportunity to achieve real peace in that region after so many victims. And this is a new low in Russian depravity – to intensify terrorist strikes at a moment like this, hitting the very lives of our people. Just last night alone, nearly 500 drones were launched in multiple waves, about 200 of them “shaheds,” also 32 missiles, mostly ballistic ones. Only one response can be given to this: more strength, more air defenses to protect our critical infrastructure, and increased pressure on Russia so that they are truly held accountable for everything they do. Sanctions must be tightened. We have discussed it with partners. Russian assets must be fully used primarily to strengthen our defense, to strengthen us, and ensure our recovery.

Today, I also spoke with the President of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, about financial means to support Ukraine. We also discussed our energy system and our resilience.

I also had a call today with President Stubb of Finland. He met with the President of the United States the day before. We discussed our current steps, which contacts could help protect lives and restrain this terrorist in Moscow.

I spoke with Prime Minister Starmer of the United Kingdom – and we are counting on strong UK support in these difficult circumstances. We discussed the prospects of UK participation in the PURL initiative. It is a robust initiative that enables us to procure American weapons. This is really important. The things that protect us. In particular, it means missiles for the Patriots.

Today, I also spoke with Chancellor Merz of Germany. I informed him of the situation and the consequences of the Russian strike. I am very grateful to him, and I am grateful to Germany for the air defense systems already in place to protect Ukraine. We discussed with Mr. Chancellor the Russian intentions and our shared ability to defend ourselves and ensure protection.

I am grateful for the support to all partners who truly help through their actions, and not just words.

I held a Staff meeting today – naturally about energy, which is a key issue. But there were also reports regarding the front: in the Dobropillia areas, our forces thwarted another Russian attempt to strike our positions.

I held a meeting with everyone responsible for the international agenda: the Government, the Head of the Office, and the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council. The tasks are clear. We know them: which countries can help Ukraine with additional air defense systems and compatible missiles. What is needed here is precisely the result I spoke about with the leaders. We have agreements at the leaders’ level; now we need efforts on the level of all our teams, and we need the corresponding results. We know which other countries can join the PURL initiative, and I expect concrete outcomes from our communication with those countries. Our diplomats must become even more proactive in this regard. And third is sanctions. The pause without new, strong sanctions against Russia for this war has lasted far too long.

And additionally, I want to commend all our people – everyone who has been working since morning: our power engineers, our repair crews, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, public utility workers – everyone working to restore electricity to our cities and villages, to make sure our people have light, water, and, most importantly, life without terrorists, without Moscow, without war.

We must stay strong and fight together for our state and for our people. Thank you! We are grateful to everyone.

Glory to Ukraine!

1/ The Chairman of the GD Party, Shalva Papuashvili, is once again attacking European Commission spokesperson Anita Hipper, accusing her of “coordinating the attempt to overthrow [the government on] October 4” and calling her statements a “weak attempt to evade responsibility.”

— Publika.ge (@publikage.bsky.social) October 10, 2025 at 9:08 AM

2/ Papuashvili said he found Hipper’s statements, in which the European Commission spokesperson criticized the actions of Georgian Dream, unacceptable.

— Publika.ge (@publikage.bsky.social) October 10, 2025 at 9:08 AM

3/ For example, on October 9, Anita Hipper stated that the actions of Georgian Dream were inspired by the “Russian propaganda manual.”

— Publika.ge (@publikage.bsky.social) October 10, 2025 at 9:08 AM

4/ Hipper had made a similar statement on October 6 – this is how the European Commission spokesperson characterized Georgian Dream’s disinformation about the European Union, as well as its attacks on the EU Ambassador to Georgia.

— Publika.ge (@publikage.bsky.social) October 10, 2025 at 9:08 AM

5/ “For ten days after that, I personally drew attention to this almost every day and called on them to clarify: to separate the gathering for the overthrow. However, there was zero reaction. On October the overthrow failed, and now they do not want to share responsibility”

— Publika.ge (@publikage.bsky.social) October 10, 2025 at 9:08 AM

6/ I said before that if there had been violence there, the European Commission would have shared responsibility for that violence precisely because of the spokesperson’s statement.

— Publika.ge (@publikage.bsky.social) October 10, 2025 at 9:08 AM

7/ The spokesperson made this statement twice after the failed attempt to overthrow the government on October 4, and both times attacked the Georgian government instead of condemning the actions of the perpetrators and the storming of the presidential palace.

— Publika.ge (@publikage.bsky.social) October 10, 2025 at 9:08 AM

8/ This is a feeble attempt to evade responsibility — for what he did, in particular, for encouraging external support for the attempted overthrow of the government planned for October 4,” said the Georgian Dream parliamentary chairman.

— Publika.ge (@publikage.bsky.social) October 10, 2025 at 9:08 AM

3/ The award ceremony will take place in Vienna on October 24, during the IPI’s 75th anniversary congress.

4/ Georgian Dream is not happy about this. GD stated that granting the award to Amaglobeli “is a continuation of the unjust political attitude toward Georgia and represents yet another mockery of Georgian society.”

— Publika.ge (@publikage.bsky.social) October 10, 2025 at 5:55 AM

— WarTranslated (Dmitri) (@wartranslated.bsky.social) October 10, 2025 at 6:45 AM

From Reuters:

KAUNAS, Lithuania, Oct 10 (Reuters) – Alarmed by Russia’s vast military spending since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the three Baltic states are drawing up contingency plans to deal with the possibility of hundreds of thousands of people fleeing a Russian troop buildup or attack.

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have long voiced fears to fellow NATO states about possible Russian aggression, citing Russian cyber attacks, disinformation campaigns and incursions over the past few months by Russian fighter jets and drones.

Russia says it has no plans to attack NATO. But the three countries, which were annexed by Moscow during World War Two, have doubled defence spending since the all-out attack on Ukraine that followed repeated Russian denials of any such plan.

“Threats could vary,” said Renatas Pozela, who as head of Lithuania’s firefighting service is involved in the contingency planning, which has been stepped up since the three countries agreed to cooperate on civil protection in May. Details of the numbers of potential evacuees officials are preparing for are being reported here for the first time.

“It’s possible we will see a mighty army along the borders of the Baltics, with the apparent goal of taking all three countries in three days to a week,” Pozela said.

Sabotage of communications or transport links, a mass influx of migrants, civil unrest among Russian-speaking minorities or fake news sparking mass flight are other scenarios discussed in local media and beyond.

“We talk about this every month, every week – at work, everywhere,” said Arminas Raudys, 31, a volunteer playing the role of an evacuee in an exercise in Lithuania this week.

The role-play involved the evacuation of just a hundred people from the capital Vilnius, but officials interviewed by Reuters said contingency planning – still largely under wraps – was being made for much larger numbers.

Half of those living within 40 km (25 miles) of the borders of Russia and Belarus – about 400,000 people – are among them, Pozela said.

The western town of Kaunas has plans to house 300,000 people in schools, universities, Catholic churches and the arena where Robbie Williams and Roger Waters performed recently. Similar efforts are underway in other towns.

Assembly points, including in Vilnius, have been selected, trains and buses designated and supplies such as toilet paper and hiking beds stockpiled in warehouses, an official at the firefighting service said.

Those fleeing by car would be directed to secondary roads, to clear others for the incoming army, with a map already available showing the towns where they can seek refuge.

“It’s a very reassuring message to our society that we are ready and we are planning,” Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kestutis Budrys told Reuters. “We have done our homework.”

⚡️Hungarian spies ran a covert operation in Brussels, trying to recruit EU officials, a joint investigation finds.

[image or embed]

— UNITED24 Media (@united24media.com) October 9, 2025 at 6:15 AM

From United24 Media:

Hungarian intelligence operatives are believed to have run espionage activities in Brussels for years — and even attempted to recruit European Union officials, according to a joint investigation by Spiegel, De Tijd, and Direkt36, published on October 9.

The probe identifies one suspected agent, known only as “V.,” who was stationed in Brussels from 2015 to 2017 under diplomatic cover. Investigators say he sought to recruit an official from the European Commission.

According to the EU official who spoke with journalists, V. appeared interested not only in internal Commission affairs but also in gossip and rumors, meeting with him every few months under the guise of friendly conversation. He reportedly proposed ways to advance more Hungarians into key EU positions—and later offered money, which the official declined, Spiegel reported.

Embassy documents confirm that V. worked in the Hungarian delegation’s department for cohesion policy in 2015 under then-ambassador Olivér Várhelyi, now the EU Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement.

The investigation suggests that growing pressure from Budapest to produce intelligence likely led to V.’s exposure in 2017. As the Orbán government escalated its demands for information, agents began using unsecured communication channels, increasing the risk of detection. Several EU officials also reported suspicious recruitment attempts by V., though Belgium’s State Security Service said it could neither confirm nor deny the claims.

According to Spiegel, despite the failed mission, V. continued to advance his career. Last year, he authored an article in a Hungarian military intelligence journal discussing the “current challenges” facing the intelligence community. The publication listed him as a lieutenant colonel with Hungary’s Information Office—the country’s primary foreign intelligence agency.

Spiegel also reports that at least two other suspected Hungarian agents drew attention in Brussels during the same period for overly aggressive networking efforts.

In a separate investigation, DeTijd and Direkt36 revealed that Hungarian operatives had tracked investigators from the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) who were probing corruption allegations linked to a company owned by the son-in-law of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Earlier, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán openly opposed Ukraine’s potential accession to the European Union, declaring that Hungarians “do not want to be in the European Union together with Ukrainians.”

I’ve seen reporting that the Hungarian handler is now an EU commissioner.

From DW:

Building such secret networks within European institutions is more commonly associated with hostile nations such as Russia or China rather than EU member states.

A decade ago, IH intelligence officers in Brussels began working undercover whiled designated as diplomats, which offers them greater protection and freedom. This is a modus operandi for many intelligence agencies but countries such as Russia are particularly notorious for it.

It is striking that the Hungarian intelligence service categorizes its moles in the EU institutions according to old Soviet KGB designations. Those who agree verbally are called “trusted domestic contacts,” while those who sign an agreement fall into the category of “secret collaborators.”

According to journalists, the current European Commissioner responsible for health and animal welfare, Oliver Varhelyi, was found to be aggressively supervising these activities.

Varhelyi headed the Hungarian Permanent Representation to the EU when V. worked as a diplomat in Brussels. The reporters’ sources claimed to have no doubt that Varhelyi, in that capacity, knew that undercover intelligence officers were present in his diplomatic corps.

According to an insider, Varhelyi also “visited the IH leadership [in Budapest] on several occasions and gave presentations on EU affairs.” And the investigators allege that it was under his leadership at the EU representation, from 2015 to the end of 2019, that the practices of Hungarian spy diplomats in Brussels became so aggressive.
