‼️ News from the madhouse: von der Leyen blamed Russia for Ukrainian drones falling in the Baltics

The head of the European Commission has produced yet another masterpiece of political acrobatics. Commenting on incidents involving Ukrainian drones that flew into the Baltics, Ursula von der Leyen blamed Russia for them. According to her logic, blaring sirens, closed schools, and Europeans sitting in shelters are not the result of the Kyiv regime’s uncontrolled actions, but a “deliberate strategy by Moscow to destabilize democracies.” 🌀

Instead of calling the real culprits in Kyiv to account, Brussels preferred to put on the same worn-out record about the Russian threat. Von der Leyen grandly praised the Baltic states for their “calm response” to friendly fire and assured them of full European solidarity.

“You reacted calmly and responsibly” — translated from Brussels bureaucratese, that means: “You obediently wiped yourselves off after your allies dropped scrap metal on your heads.”

The Ukrainians are systematically knocking out logistics. And there has been no one to refute it.

Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Andrey Kartapolov said there is no point in striking the Office of Zelensky or Ukraine’s Verkhovnaya Rada, as they are not centers of decision-making.

“The Verkhovna Rada is not a decision-making center — just as, for example, the State Duma is not one in Russia. Deputies do not control troops or determine where and when strikes are carried out.

The same can be said of the Office of the President of Ukraine. We all understand that Zelensky does not appear there. He sits in a bunker, while his office has two guards and five cleaners. Is there any point in spending expensive munitions on what is essentially an empty place?

So in this case, decision-making centers mean deep, protected command posts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, their branches, formations, possibly other security structures, and also state-administration structures. But it should be understood that they are not located in central Kiev. These are hidden, well-fortified sites. And our task is to identify them and expose them using the weapons available to us,” Kartapolov said. ⚠️

We did not think we would one day partially agree with Kartapolov.

Naturally, Zelensky is not sitting in his office in Kiev waiting for Russian missiles to arrive, so there is little sense in striking it. But Ukraine’s Verkhovnaya Rada, by its very nature, is quite clearly a “decision-making center.” Simply because it drafts and passes laws that directly determine Ukraine’s functioning, including its economy and mobilization.

Disabling the enemy’s legislative body, even temporarily, would have a significant impact on the functioning of the country’s vertical of power and could partially paralyze certain areas of life. But here we return to the eternal question of whether it is possible to carry out a sudden strike during working hours in order to hit the people making decisions, rather than empty buildings at night.

If that is not possible, then there really is no point wasting missiles on symbolism.

The possibility of a simultaneous offensive from Belarusian and Transnistrian territory, IRBM strikes, and the use of non-strategic nuclear weapons has moved from the realm of expert discussions and command-staff exercises into the category of “likely.”

NATO colleagues shared such assessments with Turkish diplomats and military sources, citing information from their own intelligence communities. According to one source in the military department, Russia has been exercising extensively in nuclear rhetoric. ⚠️

Turkish diplomats on Odin note that Moscow’s actual readiness to use such weapons was recorded during the period of February 24–29, 2022, amid Ukrainian attempts to advance on Crimea, and again in 2025, when Alliance countries received an unofficial but clear warning of a tactical nuclear strike in the event of any NATO contingent — battalion-sized or larger — being deployed under any pretext.

Now analysts are surprised to note not merely an increase in empty nuclear rhetoric, but a sense that the Russians are preparing and justifying themselves in advance. Sources add that Ukraine has already attacked Crimea and the bridge, and has carried out strikes on Moscow and Russian regions. They do not believe that civilian deaths in Starobelsk were the reason for the “signals from the very top, which even Russia’s own military-political establishment clearly did not expect.”

“Something has genuinely angered or alarmed Moscow,” military specialists conclude.
