Ukraine, what we know about the Russian attack on the Kiev-Warsaw train
Russia's "escalation" near European borders after the Russian attack on the locomotive of the train heading from Kiev to Warsaw is worrying. The drone raid, which took place in Yahodyn in western Ukraine less than 2 kilometers from the border with Poland, hit a convoy carrying 206 passengers. According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, it was a "deliberate" attack, in which the Russians "set fire to the locomotive and damaged a petrol station". Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani also spoke on the matter, speaking of "provocations" against the West and reiterating that "we are not intimidated".

Zakharova: "Zelensky is an inglorious bastard"
“Volodymyr Zelensky looks like an inglorious bastard.” This was stated by the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, to Vesti. Zakharova also called Zelensky a mentally ill terrorist. "I know this for sure, from historical experience. There are many similar criminal adventurers, those who consider themselves exceptional, who believe that they are entitled to everything. Do you know what they call them? Inglourious bastards," Zakharova said. "By now everyone understands that this is something out of the ordinary. He is a person who has lost all dignity, who evidently has not only been abusing prohibited substances for some time, but is also heavily dependent on them", observed the diplomat.

Putin: "We will continue to defend the rights of Russian speakers in the Baltics"
Russia will continue to support the rights of the Russian-speaking population in the Baltic states, but exclusively through methods that comply with international law. President Vladimir Putin declared this to journalists, speaking in St. Petersburg. "We will continue to defend the rights of our compatriots, but within the framework of international law. We never intended to resort to other means. We have not resorted to them and we do not intend to do so", said the Kremlin leader, quoted by Russian agencies.
Ukrainian media: "Trump suggested Zelensky go to Moscow"
US President Donald Trump has once again suggested that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky go to Moscow for direct talks with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. The Ukrainian leader flatly rejected the offer. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing Bloomberg. Trump asked Zelensky to meet Putin in Moscow, but that sparked outrage from Ukraine. When reporters asked him when he would visit the Russian capital, Zelensky replied: "On a rocket," adding an excited exclamation. At the same time, the American side insisted on a ceasefire regarding attacks on energy infrastructure due to rising global diesel prices. However, neither Ukraine nor Russia joined this initiative. Volodymyr Zelenskyy said potential technical peace talks could take place in the United Arab Emirates, although Washington has not yet proposed a specific date. During the negotiations, the issue of strengthening Ukraine's air defense before the onset of winter was also raised. The United States has agreed to provide Ukraine with licenses for the production of Patriot missiles (production is expected to begin no earlier than a year). However, Trump has not yet made a final decision on direct deliveries of air defense systems this winter due to weapons shortages in the United States. “Missile production is an important step, but it will not solve the urgent need to protect critical infrastructure this winter,” the sources note.
Putin: "Estonia fights alone against us? A joke"
The claim that Estonia can defeat Russia alone is a joke. Russian President Vladimir Putin said it. "We have a proverb that says 'the circus is gone, but the clowns remain'. This is a political joke. The population of Estonia is about 1.3 million people. The Russian army, only the Russian army, I don't mean the population of the Russian Federation, is 1.535 million. And 1.3 million are Estonian citizens, including infants and elderly people. This is clearly complete nonsense," Putin told the journalists, commenting on the statement of Estonian Defense Minister Martin Herem, according to which Estonia is ready to fight against Russia alone. “But unfortunately, these are the kind of people we have to deal with today,” Putin said.
