I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

The CIA still does. So does BlackRock and the BoE.

Ukraine war to continue for years, Pentagon official says

As Russia rebuilds its armed forces and defense industry, European countries must prepare for a protracted war and for Ukraine to need support in the “coming months and years,” Elbridge Colby, the U.S. under secretary of defense for policy, said on Sept. 8.

Colby made the remarks at a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported.

“We need to be prepared for a protracted conflict and for Ukraine’s needs to continue in the coming months and years,” Colby said.

“We also need to be prepared for other potential contingencies.”

He also stated that the current situation makes it even more important for Europe to support Ukraine while accelerating its own rearmament and reindustrialization.

“Europe must continue — and, if necessary, increase — its support for Ukraine’s urgent battlefield needs through the PURL [Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List] mechanism,” he said, referring to the program under which Europe buys U.S. arms on Ukraine’s behalf.

“The steady supply of ammunition and critical equipment is effective. It remains extremely important to enable the Ukrainian armed forces to hold the front line and prevent further advances by Russian forces.”

According to Colby, European countries must also begin planning stable procurement programs that will support the long-term rebuilding of Ukraine’s armed forces and meet their own defense needs.

“We must plan and implement our investments based on military effectiveness, not secondary objectives,” he said.

Why Russia's frozen assets are Europe's hot topic once again

BRUSSELS, Belgium — Months after the idea was thought to have been laid to rest, some EU capitals are reviving the push to use 200 billion euros ($233 billion) in Russian assets, frozen in the bloc since 2022, to support Ukraine.

The bloc's 27 countries are straining under the financial burden of bankrolling Ukraine, essentially on their own, while Kyiv is facing a massive budget hole amid Russia's unabating aggression.

Meanwhile, the Russian threat has been forcing Europe to divert funds from other priorities to its own defenses. The 200 billion euros of Moscow's money sitting in European financial institutions could, some think, allow Europe to have its cake and eat it too.

. . .

The total cost of Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction stood at $588 billion according to a February 2026 World Bank report, well over double the total value of the assets frozen in the EU. https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/099022026094036395/pdf/P51

There continue to be major signs of internal turmoil in Ukraine. The latest occurred yesterday when a gunfight erupted between the two security apparatuses of the SBU and GUR, with multiple operatives being shot and wounded.

The below video showcases the initiating moments, but the gunfights were said to last for hours afterwards:

The US told Ukraine's allies to prepare for a war lasting years at the latest Ramstein meeting, the forum where Kyiv's partners decide the military aid it gets.

US defense policy chief Elbridge Colby told the 36th Ramstein contact group to prepare for a protracted war. Colby dispelled the illusions of anyone still hoping for a "miraculous de-escalation" and made clear that no timeline for a settlement is in view.

Good, Comrade THGR!
Sumy is in view, a big chunk of northeast Karkhiv is bitten off, the city just south of Kramatorsk has been entered, Dobropilia is in pincers and Orehov is about to be liberated. Odessa and the entire Black Sea coast can no longer be used for weapons imports, and Kiev is at our mercy, Comrade THGR!

Ubu's such a cunt.

As if anything he's ever said or done has any affect on this bullshit little war.

He sounds like me when I was 12 years old and I was a Chicago Bulls superfan.

It was MY team!

Loser.

Russia opens secret hospitals en masse for participants in war against Ukraine

The number of wounded Special Military Operation (SVO) participants is rising catastrophically

A traumatologist at one of the city hospitals in Siberia said that doctors and nurses in such departments sign non-disclosure agreements.

"All the documentation is also classified. Even the medical records do not contain the first name, last name, and patronymic; there is only a number," she said.

EU falls behind on plan to wean itself off Russian oil and gas

https://meduza.io/en/news/2026/09/10/eu-falls-behind-on-plan-to-wean-i
tself-off-russian-oil-and-gas

The European Union has fallen short of its plan to wean itself off Russian oil and gas, auditors at the European Court of Auditors (ECA) have concluded.

The EU launched the REPowerEU program in 2022 to cut its dependence on Russian energy resources. The program calls for developing renewable energy, expanding connections between EU countries’ energy grids, and diversifying oil and gas supplies. Over four years, EU countries have spent only 54.3 billion euros of the 300 billion euros available for REPowerEU projects.

Four years after its launch, REPowerEU has stalled, even though several hundred billion euros have been made available,” said Mihails Kozlovs, the ECA member responsible for the report.

EU imports of Russian oil and gas have dropped sharply since 2021, from 153.2 billion cubic meters to 37.8 billion. But the auditors say the decline owes less to REPowerEU than to mild winters and lower consumption driven by high prices.

Some countries, meanwhile, continue buying Russian energy resources aggressively. Belgium increased its imports from 2.4 billion cubic meters in 2021 to 3.4 billion in 2024, peaking at 4 billion in 2023. By July 2026, Belgium had become fully dependent on Russian LNG supplies amid disruptions from the war in Iran. A significant portion of that gas is then resold to other EU countries.

According to the ECA, one reason REPowerEU has moved so slowly is that countries themselves lacked concrete plans. To access the program’s funding, they were required to update their national energy and climate plans, but most left out specific measures or targets.

A full ban on imports of Russian LNG to the EU is set to take effect in January 2027.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, September 10, 2026

United Russia Party Chairperson and Russian Security Council Deputy Chairperson Dmitry Medvedev formally articulated United Russia’s commitment to supporting a protracted war in Ukraine and solidified the party’s pro-war stance as part of Russia’s informal state ideology. Medvedev emphasized in a September 10 interview to Russian newspaper Vedomosti Russia’s commitment to the war in Ukraine, to the long-term militarization of Russian society, and to demands for increased economic sacrifices by Russian society.[3] Medvedev outlined the need for Russian society to remain on a permanent war footing even after the war in Ukraine ends. Medvedev indicated that the post-war Russian defense industry should reorient toward stockpiling weapons to repel the supposedly existential threat to Russia posed by NATO and US allies in the Pacific. Medvedev attempted to justify increased tax burdens and obfuscated the Kremlin’s condition setting efforts for the nationalization of private enterprises by claiming that current challenges justify state intervention in the economy. Medvedev also denied that Russia will conduct a mobilization, despite growing indications that the Kremlin is setting conditions for mobilization following the September State Duma elections.[4]

Russian President Vladimir Putin described the United Russia Party as the war party tasked with executing Putin’s ideological aims on August 22.[5] Medvedev is using his position as the United Russia Chairperson to reaffirm the United Russia Party’s pro-war platform and to position the party as the leader of a pro-war and ultra-nationalist informal Russian state ideology. The Kremlin has continuously worked to militarize Russian society through youth militarization, militarized education, and Russia’s Time of Heroes program, which places veterans of the war in Ukraine in government positions throughout Russia and in occupied Ukraine.[6] United Russia’s posturing as the sole executor of Putin’s policies defending Russia against a supposedly hostile global encirclement is similar to one of the roles in which the Communist Party cast itself in the Soviet Union. This posturing supports the Kremlin’s efforts to centralize power, silence dissent, and set conditions to demand greater social sacrifices from the Russian public to support war in Ukraine and beyond.[7]
