#Novopavlovsk Anyone following Deep State updates has surely noticed that this direction appears almost daily. Last month, over half of Russia's territorial gains came from this sector of the front. I'm attaching today's update.

You just have to look at chance they put in earlier in the year to know that they know nothing

Sadly another 2 to 3 years.

Putin cannot agree to stop - it would be his death warrant

If he did, it means Russia will start a war somewhere else

Only in the heads of the press who are doing a hachet job to put pressure on him to stop the good work Labour are doing

A small gripe in the grand scheme of things but this shows what's increasingly obvious to people attending UK party conferences

Many fringe events are not open discussion of policy & political options, but *adverts* for whoever is paying for the event

Academic axed from Labour conference panel for criticising energy policy

Sustainability expert was told panellists discussing North Sea oil and gas were meant to ‘agree entirely’ with each other

China has sharply increased its supply of key components - fiber-optic cables and lithium-ion batteries, among other drone components - needed to make the fiber-optic drones to Russia, The Washington Post reports.

14th October 1943: Second Schweinfurt. On what became known as ‘Black Thursday’, the Eighth Air Force sent 291 bombers in a repeat attack on the town’s vital ball bearing plants. Once again, Luftwaffe aircraft waited until escort fighters had to turn back at the German border before attacking.

Yes

Got an EV and no issues with the cold.

Equally 33% of all Norwegian cars are now EVs, Swedes, Finland etc all showing no issues

Equally though I can find a pile of reports on petrol cars being affected by the winter, something I can attest to as I had a few that never liked the cold.

The UK's largest solar farm has today been approved by the government.

Tillbridge Solar Project in Lincolnshire has potential for up to 500MW of energy - equivalent for 300,000 homes.

I believe it's the 13th approval by this government for major solar and wind projects.

A quarter of the average UK energy bill last year was profit for the big energy companies.

Meanwhile, almost three million households in England suffer fuel poverty.

No one should be choosing between heating and eating while energy companies rake in billions.

In September 2025, Ru’s monthly fossil fuel export revenues saw a 4% month-on-month decline to EUR 546 million (mn) per day — the lowest they have been since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The Ru budget’s revenues from oil & gas revenues also recorded a 26% year-on-year reduction in Sept.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: This night, Russia's aerial terror against our cities and infrastructure continued again. The main targets are our energy sector. Last night, air bombs were dropped on Kharkiv and the city hospital, injuring 57 people. An absolutely terrorist, cynical attack on where lives are saved.
