Hungary has signed a 10-year gas supply agreement with Shell, taking one of the first steps towards diversification and reducing dependence on Russian supplies.
According to Foreign Minister Szijjártó, supplies will reach Hungary via Czech and German gas pipelines starting in 2026.
The EU plans to completely stop importing Russian gas by the end of 2027.

I never said they were as high as Syria. I said that they Russians were targeting women and children, which they are by their own words.
So when you post about the Russians sending missiles towards Ukraine it can absolutely be assumed they are being sent to kill civilians, and since you decide to post a stupid meme with old boy dancing about it, it just makes you look like a sick turd.
Dude, seriously.

Time for another visit. It would be interesting to know if the Chinese have actually transferred some of their anti-aircraft systems up there.

Satellite imagery shows ongoing repairs at the Deng Xiaoping logistics complex in Yelabuga after Ukrainian drone strikes in August. Damaged roof sections have been removed but remain unrepaired. The site serves as a key hub for foreign spare parts feeding Russia’s drone production in Alabuga, and is also used to store Shaheds and decoys before distribution to launch sites.

Yeah, this is one of the reasons the Europeans aren't crying about the Ukrainians blowing up the gas lines. They know damn well that not only is it a only a matter of time until they do it, but they have also started making plans for 'after Russia.'

The German security services getting out of their offices. This will be a big eye-opener for the German public and underscore the extent of Russia's hybrid war in Western Europe.

Germany: Russian spy ship seized in Kiel Canal German special forces boarded the freighter Scanlark in the Kiel Canal, uncovering espionage equipment on board. Investigators suspect the vessel was used by Russia to launch drones over critical infrastructure.
According to authorities, a drone had already been deployed on August 26, 2025, to monitor a German Navy ship.
The 40-year-old vessel, officially sailing under the flag of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, is linked to an Estonian operator, while the crew is Russian.

The former mayor of Vladivostok (soon to be renamed Haishenwai) - Vladimir Nikolaev, and his family were found to have additional property worth 5.3 billion rubles, as well as a stash of 700 million rubles.
The official sold municipal real estate to affiliated commercial companies, amassing wealth for himself and his relatives, according to a new lawsuit by the Prosecutor General's Office.
In the 1990s, Nikolaev was the head of the "Winnie the Pooh" gang. In 2024, he went to the special military operation zone to "support" the fighters.

The All-Moscow religious procession that took place last Sunday (September 7) may soon lead to serious changes in the Presidential Administration and the FSB. It was lead by the KGB trained tobacco billionaire patriarch Kirill.
The Sunday procession — a religious march from the Cathedral of Christ the Savior to the Novodevichy Convent, held on September 7 in Moscow — caused serious panic among the authorities.
What seemed to be a completely neutral and apolitical event, conducted by Patriarch Kirill (Gundyaev) himself, was not supposed to irritate the current regime but rather to show the unity of believers and representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church with the current government.

Replacing the liberal opposition is another force capable of gathering in Moscow, right by the Kremlin walls, in a single day about a hundred thousand well-organized and prepared nationalist-minded people, including veterans of the special military operation, active PMC fighters, fan associations, and so on.
Prigozhin 2.0? Well organized, well prepared, flying under the radar right in Moscow... a huge Nationalist group expressing concerns about "the monopoly of diasporas in Russia's financial and economic sphere" [To save a trip to Google translator, they mean Muslims. It used to be Jews, but Kadyrov's Moscow-based thugs have changed that.]
First question -To which FSB tribe does Kirill belong?
Wait, make that - To which FSB tribe does the High Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Kirill belong? You know, God's Own Representative and Spokesperson on Earth Kirill?
Vlad, you had better co-opt this movement like yesterday. Because there will be another march. Soon.

Kirill assured Putin that no more than 20,000 participants would take part in the procession, carrying church slogans and displaying icons.
In reality, it turned out somewhat differently: the procession gathered officially 40,000 people under its banners (it can be said for sure that this number was underestimated), and unofficially up to 120,000 participants.
A significant part of them were well-organized young people from among football fans, veterans, representatives of the "Russian community," and other nationalist groups. They came to show themselves as a serious force, greatly frightening the Moscow and federal authorities, the police, and the FSB.
On Sunday, as a precaution, the personnel of the Operational Search Departments (external surveillance service) of the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were mobilized.
Scouts were urgently sent to reinforce the crowd to understand the motivation of most of those who came to the Sunday procession. Sparse reports from the crowd showed that most of the procession participants had grievances against the authorities and were quite concerned about the monopoly of diasporas in Russia's financial and economic sphere.
The police and National Guard cordon, according to eyewitnesses, simply dissolved into the crowd of the procession and were quite nervous.
Already from Monday morning, after receiving relevant reports from the Federal Protective Service, and reports from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB about the actual number of attendees, unpleasant questions began to be directed to the Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Kirienko and the FSB.
In fact, this procession showed something else.

Poland has urgently invoked Article 4 of the NATO Charter, requesting the immediate convening of the North Atlantic Council (NATO’s main decision-making body). During the meeting, Warsaw will present the facts about the incident, and the Alliance will decide on the course of action to be taken.
According to Defence Express, Russia had been preparing an attack on Poland since July, using Polish and Lithuanian SIM cards in drones. The Poles were warned about this and there was a high probability that the [Russian drones] had entered the [Polish geographic] networks for testing purposes.
The publication suggests the possibility that Russia aimed to spy on and test Poland's air defense readiness, especially against the backdrop of Zapad-2025, which will begin in 2 days on Belarusian territory.

BEIJING, Sept 8 (Reuters) - China's yuan-denominated exports to Russia in August saw their biggest drop since February, while imports fell by double digits in percentage terms after climbing in July, Chinese customs data showed on Monday.
Outbound shipments to Russia contracted 16.4% in yuan terms last month from a year earlier, a fifth straight monthly decline and worse than July's 8.6% fall.
Imports slid 17.8%, reversing from a 4.4% increase in July.
For the first eight months of the year, China's exports to Russia fell 8.8% and imports were down 8.2%.

Another report from the Commander of our Air Force. We are clarifying all available data and analyzing the details of this Russian strike.
Already during the night, Ukrainian forces were informing the Polish side through the relevant channels about the movement of Russian drones.
At around 00:50 Kyiv time, the first crossing of the state border between Ukraine and Poland by a Russian drone was recorded. At least two Russian drones that entered Polish territory during the night used Belarusian airspace. In total, at least several dozen Russian drones were moving along the border of Ukraine and Belarus and across western regions of Ukraine, approaching targets on Ukrainian territory and, apparently, on Polish territory.
The number of Russian drones that traversed into Poland and penetrated deeply into its territory may be greater than the previously announced figure. According to updated data, around two dozen of Russian drones may have entered Polish airspace during the night. We are verifying this.
Our air defense forces destroyed more than 380 Russian drones of various types. At least 250 of them were “shaheds.” Precise information on the drone types will be determined after an analysis of the debris.
Ukraine is ready to expand our cooperation with partners for reliable protection of the sky. So that we have not only information and intelligence data sharing, but also real joint actions that guarantee security of the neighbors. Russia must feel that Europeans know how to defend themselves.

Nothing in your response justifies an invasion.
Point to where I tried to justify it?
A reason isn't justification. Multiple reasons aren't justification.
We have reasons we could invade Mexico, because ultimately part of the reason we have so many problems on our border is because they won't secure their, much smaller border to their south, and won't do anything about migrants themselves (even if they are in a huge caravan).
Would that be justified? Obviously not.

So, conversely, when you have told me and others "uh... Russia/Putin is not the Soviet Union?'
Its not. I was commenting on the cultural/geopolitical history of Russia. That transcends the USSR, Russian Federation, or any other entity they have been throughout history.
They aren't the Soviets anymore, but they are still Russians. The Soviets were Russian too.

Its crazy that according to you they can purposely target an apartment building, but they don't just hit government buildings, manufacturing, training facilities, logistics hubs, rail hubs, etc with those same weapons. They would rather kill a dozen civilians with a multi-million dollar weapon system than anything actually useful to the war effort.
Wild Stuff! The Russians must be even more stupid than I thought they were.
