Russian FSB Pays Ukrainian Teens To Burn Ukrainian Military Vehicles In Sabotage Plot - Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
A @RadioSvobodaUkraine investigation has found that Russian FSB agents are recruiting and paying Ukrainian teens to sabotage their own country’s military. Ukrainian military vehicles have been deliberately burned as part of a covert operation by Russia’s security service. This strategy appears to be aimed at sowing chaos and painting a false picture of internal dissent in Ukraine. There are more than 100 suspected arsonists, many of them minors.
🦅🇺🇦 Ukraine is developing a drone capable of intercepting Russia’s Iranian-designed Shahed drones, - The Telegraph
The “Sting” first-person view (FPV) Shahed-hunter will be able to fly faster than 100mph and at altitudes nearing 10,000ft.
The operator will control it through VR glasses, and in the future, they plan to add an artificial intelligence system for automatic targeting.
The Sting will cost ten times less than the Shahed-136.
🔥War criminal Dmitriy Golenkov was eliminated in Russia, - GUR.
Golenkov is a pilot of the 52nd heavy bomber aviation regiment of the Russian Armed Forces, which is based at the Shaykovka airfield and is armed with Tu-22M3 bombers.
🤬He was involved in the attack on the "Amstor" shopping center in Kremenchuk, when 22 people died. He is responsible for a rocket attack on a residential building in Dnipro on January 14, 2023, when 46 people died, including 6 children.
👀The body of the Russian war criminal was found with multiple head injuries, probably caused by a hammer.
🇲🇩📃 In Moldova, almost 98% of the votes in the presidential elections and referendum were counted, - CEC.
41.8% of voters voted for the current president Maya Sanda, and 26.3% voted for her main competitor Oleksandr Stoyanog.
🤝 At the referendum, 50.03% of citizens spoke in favor of Moldova's European integration, and 49.97% were against.
As more than 50% of citizens did not vote for any of the presidential candidates, the second round of elections will be held on November 3.

Goodnight Resisters everywhere.
The bow hunter arrived about an hour ago. Hoping he gets a big buck tonight. Once he gets a buck he is allowed as many does as he can get.
He has to move his blind though. They will avoid that area. That's the reason he will gut it right there and just call on the cell for help loading it.
The deer are really overpopulated. Last year he saw a group of 16 does. And they all had babies this spring. Way too many. I have ten acres with eight being woods. They also graze the neighbor's 20 acre pasture at night. They try it during the day and he shoots.
The Championship of FPV technologies, organized by the Federation of Military-Technological Sports of Ukraine, took place in Kyiv
More than 15 teams from different parts of Ukraine demonstrated high-tech samples of unmanned systems of their own production and competed for the first place in the ability to pilot FPV drones.
Representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard of Ukraine, the National Police of Ukraine and manufacturing companies discussed ways of further development of the industry.
"Such competitions demonstrate not only the skill of Ukrainian FPV drone pilots, but also in practice allow you to familiarize yourself with innovative models and evaluate their capabilities. We constantly communicate with manufacturers and accompany the processes of testing and codification of their models, - noted the deputy head of the Department of Innovative Activities of the Armed Forces Colonel Anatoliy Rybyak of Ukraine - We already see ready-made technological solutions and directions for their further improvement for more effective performance of combat tasks."

🔥 There are no alternatives for the occupiers on Ukrainian soil: hide or run away — only death awaits you.

The enemy dropped four aerial bombs on the village of Ulanove in Sumy Oblast, resulting in the death of Olena Ryadova. It happened on October 1, 2024. when she was in her yard.
Elena Ryadova was 45 years old. Acquired the specialty of land surveying. She was a housewife. In her spare time, she liked to knit and read books.
"She was a kind, sincere person. If someone needed help, Olena never refused. A wonderful hostess, she cooked very tasty," said neighbor Svitlana Gadaborsheva.
The deceased was survived by her husband Oleksandr and son Yevhen.
"Force that could not be tamed." In memory of Viktoria Roschyna - hromadske
"Congratulations, you are watching hromadske. My name is Viktoriya Roshchyna," is how our journalist, who died in Russian captivity, traditionally began her broadcasts. The occupiers claim that this happened during the transfer from Taganrog to Moscow.
Vika Roschyna worked for hromadske for more than five years. She was one of those journalists who do not wait for an editorial assignment. Once something was happening, Vika was already there. At rallies, skirmishes, places of murders. She took on the most difficult challenges, loved law enforcement topics, attended scandalous and important court sessions. Time and geography were unimportant to her – at any moment, Victoria was ready to go on a business trip even before she was told to go. She had no days off, holidays, or sick leave.
Her father received the news of Victoria's death on October 10.
The hromadske team expresses its sincere condolences to the relatives and friends
