Billions Allocated, No Protection Built: Ukraine’s Energy Infrastructure Left Vulnerable to Russian Attacks
Despite an initial budget of UAH 1.8 billion (approximately $43 million), none of the 26 planned protective structures has been completed (!).
An investigation by Ukrainian media outlet Focus reveals serious failures in a government-funded project intended to protect critical energy infrastructure in the Kyiv region from Russian missile and drone attacks.
Two companies reportedly linked to the same ultimate owner were selected as general contractors without competitive bidding.
The investigation also describes allegations of political interference, informal supplier arrangements, and potential conflicts of interest. These concerns have not been established as criminal wrongdoing.
Construction reportedly began without finalized technical documentation. According to assessments attributed to Ukraine's General Staff, some designs failed to adequately address drone threats.
Coordination with the regional electricity operator, DTEK, was also insufficient, creating additional obstacles to installing essential equipment before winter.
The article examines the roles of officials in the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, including Mykola Kalashnyk and Ruslan Oliinyk. The two have been associated with conflicting accounts of responsibility for the projects.
A parliamentary investigative commission has recommended referring the matter to Ukraine's Security Service, State Bureau of Investigation, and National Police for further examination.
The failure to complete these projects leaves essential energy infrastructure exposed as Ukraine enters the 2026–2027 winter season.
Continued Russian attacks, combined with inadequate physical protection and limited air-defense capabilities, increase the risk of prolonged electricity outages and further damage to the national power grid.

Ideally Russia wants EU and NATO both collapse as structures. So if they sniff any opportunity they go for it.
Putin on haistanut historiallisen tilaisuuden purkaa Nato pala palalta Trumpin avulla.
Tätä olen jo aiemmin varoittanut ja tänään Moskovassa Venäjä teki tavoitteitaan entistä selvemmiksi. Putin tapasi Witkoffin ja Kushnerin, ja Kremlin mukaan keskusteluihin nostettiin uudelleen Venäjän vuoden 2021 turvallisuusvaatimukset. Naton laajentumisen pysäyttäminen on jälleen esillä.
Samaan aikaan Venäjän ulkoministeriö on ehdottanut erillisiä hyökkäämättömyyssopimuksia Nato-maiden kanssa. Esiteltyihin sopimusmalleihin kuuluu myös järjestelyjä, jotka voisivat rajoittaa valtioiden mahdollisuuksia tarjota alueitaan, kauttakulkureittejään tai resurssejaan sotilaallisten operaatioiden tueksi.
Ymmärretään nyt, mitä Moskova tavoittelee.
Natoa ei tarvitse hajottaa muodollisesti, jos sen yhteinen puolustus onnistutaan tekemään toimintakyvyttömäksi. Liittokunnan yhtenäisyyttä voidaan yrittää murentaa myös erillisillä sopimuksilla.
Tänään Putin hyväksyi eurooppalaisten osallistumisen seuraaviin rauhanneuvotteluihin. Samalla hän piti kiinni aluevaatimuksistaan ja torjui eurooppalaisten joukkojen sijoittamisen Ukrainaan.
Minusta Venäjä on tunnistanut Trumpin hallinnon rauhanpyrkimyksissä poikkeuksellisen tilaisuuden. Se voi yrittää muuttaa Ukrainan sodan päättämisen neuvotteluksi, jossa käsitellään samalla Naton tulevaa toimintavapautta ja Euroopan valtatasapainoa.
Venäjän vaatimuksia kannattaa kuunnella tarkasti silloinkin, kun ne kuulostavat mahdottomilta. Moskova kertoo meille itse, mitä se tavoittelee. Venäjä tarjoaa lupauksia olla hyökkäämättä ja haluaa samalla keskustella siitä, miten muut saavat puolustautua.
Meidän turvallisuuttamme ei pidä diilivimmassa vaihtaa Putinin allekirjoitukseen.

Kyiv. This is the Ukrainian Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics after last night’s russian attack.
A medical institution. A place where people come to heal. Another target of russian terror.

Ukraine’s goods trade deficit hit a record $6.3bn in October. For January–October 2026, the cumulative deficit reached $51.8bn. My forecast of a year-end deficit exceeding $60bn remains firmly on track.
China is Ukraine’s largest source of imports, supplying $25.6bn worth of goods. Poland ranks second with $7.9bn, followed by Germany with $5.5bn. Together, Poland and Germany account for barely half of China’s imports into Ukraine.
The contrast between economic relationships and geopolitical priorities is striking. Britain is just one example: one of Ukraine’s closest security allies, yet bilateral trade in goods and services amounted to only £2.1bn in 2025. Meanwhile, China dominates Ukraine’s imports despite limited political alignment with Kyiv.
This disconnect between economic realities and geopolitical priorities deserves much more attention.

New: The contents of a hacked computer belonging to John Mark Dougin, an American ex-cop living in Russia, offer documentary evidence that he worked with the FSB and GRU to peddle disinformation. He liaised with GRU Unit 29155 the originator of the Ukraine biolabs hoax, and his "moment of triumph came in June 2026, when information from his investigation was endorsed by @TulsiGabbard, who was serving as director of national intelligence in the Trump administration." theins.press/en/inv/299417?_…

Worms in the soup. Sewage flooding prison corridors. Women forced to use dirty rags instead of sanitary products. Starvation, beatings, sexual humiliation, and the screams of Ukrainian soldiers being tortured behind prison walls.
This is what Ukrainian combat medic Halyna Fedyshyn endured during nearly 20 months of Russian captivity.
She survived the siege of Mariupol and the hell of Azovstal, only to face another nightmare in Russian prisons.
Her testimony is horrifying. What she witnessed, what she suffered, and what she heard happening to her fellow prisoners must never be forgotten.
I have published her story, including the terrible details of her captivity and the extraordinary strength it took to survive.
Please read it. Share it. And remember the Ukrainians who are still suffering in Russian prisons.

Everyday reality in Ukraine. While EU can't agree on who could represent Europe in talks with Russia. Suddenly EVERYONE wants to talk to Moscow! I remember just half of a year ago this was considered nearly a treason of European values...

Sunflower oil production in Ukraine is being suspended following Russian strikes on food-industry facilities. Kernel, the country’s largest producer, has halted operations at all its extraction plants and stopped buying sunflower seeds. The company processes roughly a quarter of Ukraine’s sunflower harvest, with an annual capacity of 3.5 million tons.
Sunflower oil is Ukraine’s most valuable agricultural export, bringing in around $5 billion a year — about 20% of all agricultural export revenues. Agriculture as a whole accounts for nearly 60% of the country’s total goods exports.
How can Ukraine continue fighting a prolonged war if the economic foundation needed to sustain it is steadily disappearing?

In a world where international ski federations are ready to welcome russian athletes back into competitions even as russia's genocide against Ukrainians continues, be like Norway, which has banned these athletes from entering their territory.

Dana has curated a thread of all the high profile individuals who have recently been diagnosed with glioblastoma. SARS-CoV-2 reactivates CMV (& other oncogenic viruses) & it causes immunodeficiency.
We never make progress because we refuse to acknowledge this. People are dying.

Covid is quietly reactivating CMV & then it quietly becomes glioblastoma…so now there’s an mRNA glioblastoma vaccine in Phase 1 trials.
Cancer immunity in a shot.
Scientists at the University of Florida have created a breakthrough mRNA cancer vaccine that erased deadly brain tumors in early human trials without chemo or radiation.
Tested on four glioblastoma patients, the vaccine reprogrammed their immune systems within 48 hours to attack the tumor.
Built from each patient’s own tumor cells and delivered via lipid nanoparticles, it showed success similar to earlier tests in mice and dogs. It is now moving into Phase 1 pediatric trials.

Covid is reactivating CMV & causing immunodeficiency and that is why everyone has glioblastoma these days.
We still won’t mitigate Covid though. The potential profit opportunities are too tempting to pass up.
Glioblastoma is medicine’s biggest challenge. For decades and still today the treatment involves surgery, followed by radiation with chemo followed by more chemo. At the end of this 90 percent of patients have a low lymphocyte count since the very treatment itself wipes out the NK and T cells.Invariably these patients relapse and are classified as recurrent GBM. For decades the treatment for recurrence is more chemo. Tomorrow we will release our first 5 patients with recurrent GBM with our chemo free Bioshield, NK cell therapy and an immune stimulating device. What the data shows is the effect and power of protecting and rescuing the immune system and what it has the potential to do for patients with this life threatening disease and for which there has been little to no advances to extend progression further and sadly early death. Excited to share.

SO MUCH glioblastoma. I actually envy the people who do not understand what is happening or what’s to come.
This hits close to home. 45.

Or the viruses that have been proven to cause cancer, like SARS-CoV-2.
At the same time we began hearing Covid is triggering rare & aggressive cancers that arrive decades earlier than expected & are harder to treat, we kicked off the “Accept Exposure” era.

Who is Putin’s interpreter? I’ve listened to several clips, and his English interpretation is embarrassingly bad because he does not exactly convey what Putin is saying. Witkoff and Kushner are already known as “diplomatic interns” and on top of that they will be lost in translation. Another evidence why this negotiation is going nowhere as always.
