Today marks 20 years since Novaya Gazeta journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in Moscow. She recognized Putin's true nature earlier than most—and the regime could never erase the truth she died to tell.

Today, as a birthday “gift” to Putin, the Russian army destroyed a residential building in Pryluky, in the Chernihiv region. It was an ordinary five-story apartment building. Tragically, as of now, five people have been reported killed and 26 injured, including five children. There may still be people under the rubble. First responders are working nonstop at the site – doing everything possible to find every person. Russian missile strikes also damaged five apartment buildings in Dnipro and four high-rise buildings in Kremenchuk. Tragically, two people were killed and eight injured. A high-rise building in Zaporizhzhia was damaged by a drone. In Kyiv, the Russians killed two people. Two more people were killed in Oleksandriya… My condolences to all the families and loved ones of those killed. Overall, infrastructure in Kyiv and 12 regions came under attack last night. One of the key targets was our energy infrastructure. The Russians wanted to strike painfully and demonstratively. This was one of the most vile strikes: 70 missiles in total, many of them ballistic, as well as “shaheds.” Unfortunately, only some of them were shot down. Russian ballistic missiles remain the greatest challenge. And air defense packages for us right now are a vital necessity. That is why every day we are looking for missiles for Patriot systems that can and must actually protect people’s lives here, in Ukrainian skies. Thank you to everyone who is helping us.

20 years ago, Anna Politkovskaya was murdered for speaking truth to power in Putin’s Russia. She exposed the brutality of war. She gave a voice to its victims. And she refused to be intimidated into silence. This cost her life. But her memory is carried by so many to this day. Press freedom in Russia has now only been crushed further. But Anna’s voice continues to travel far beyond Russia’s borders. She remains a symbol of courage, of fearless journalism and of the power of truth in the face of oppression. Today, we honour Anna’s legacy. And we think of all those who continue the work she gave her life for.

Absolutely unreal dilemma on European security is now unfolding in Latvia. Russia, through its puppet Belarus, is applying more active measures by breaking Latvian border with unidentified armed forces. They raid into Latvia, pillage and go back to Belarus What to do with them?

On this day 20 years ago, Russian investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in Moscow, on Vladimir Putin’s 54th birthday. She had spent years reporting on Putin’s Russia and exposing the atrocities committed during the Second Russian-Chechen War. Dozens of journalists have been killed for their work during Putin’s rule, while more than 1,500 Russian journalists have been forced into exile since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine alone.

The attack is expected to continue throughout the night, with the main phase likely taking place between 00:00 and 05:00. Drones are already airborne, while 3 Tu-160 strategic bombers are currently in the air. The remaining Tu-95MS bombers are expected to take off later, likely within the next 2–3 hours. The first ballistic missile launches are expected later. The main concern remains the ballistic missile threat. With the assets currently being deployed, it would not be surprising to see 80–100 missiles in total across the different launch platforms, including ballistic, cruise and potentially Kalibr missiles.
NEW: Actions by the Russian Federation indicate preparations for a possible large-scale missile attack against Ukraine tonight or in the early morning. During the day, Russia carried out multiple redeployments of its strategic aviation. Up to 10 Tu-95MS and 3 Tu-160 strategic bombers could be involved in a potential attack. The last major Russian attack involving strategic bombers was on September 8. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said today that Ukrainian intelligence indicates Russia is preparing a major attack. The timing is also notable: tonight is the night before Vladimir Putin’s birthday, October 7. Putin turns 74 tomorrow. Ukraine is preparing for what could be another extremely difficult night. I will provide further updates.

We’ve got updated intel on Russia’s preparations for a massive strike. I ask you, please, to take care of yourselves and respond to missile threat alerts. Ukrainian services and our Air Force are ready to respond – as much as our defenses allow. And a lot depends on our partners – every country in the world that has the defensive capabilities we need and can provide them to us. It’s very important that there be the political will to do this – particularly in the United States and in Europe.

Ukraine is expecting another large-scale Russian attack tonight. Their planes are reported to be in the air already and on their way to bomb Ukraine. ​We are going to spend another night hoping that Russian missiles don't strike our home. It's a deadly lottery, and someone always loses. ​Keep us in your thoughts.

As I am posting short snippets from our frontline roadtrip (delayed for OpSec), here is @CaolanReports sharing his story: a high rise in Odesa being hit on 9/11 as we are getting ready to hit the road. This was close. Odesa and its ports are being hit non-stop.
