The Kremlin’s European mouthpieces: Fico and Orban call for an end to Ukraine’s support. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has reiterated his criticism of the EU’s stance on the Russian-Ukrainian war. He states that Bratislava’s foreign policy aims not for Russia’s defeat but for ending the war as soon as possible. He added that if the EU “spent as much energy on peace as it does on supporting the Ukrainian conflict,” it would have been resolved long ago. “I will never allow Slovakia to be dragged into any military adventure,” Fico said. Meanwhile, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has argued that the EU lacks the funds to finance the war in Ukraine. “We have already spent €175-180B, and each year we will need to spend €40…€50…€60B repeatedly. We simply do not have that money. This strategy has neither a rational nor a financial basis,” he added. Orban also expressed a desire to prevent Hungary from being in the same union as Ukraine, asserting that otherwise, the Hungarians would have to fight Russia. “Ukraine is a country with a very difficult fate. Why should we share in this difficult fate? They live next to the Russian state and are constantly at war with Russia. We cannot change this,” he said.

Dig deeper into his finances. Hatvanpuszta is a luxury estate. “It belongs to my father and will begin agricultural production shortly.” With zebras and antilopes??? Everyone in Hungary knows, he is the “capo di tutti capi”. But without the legal documents about the forming, regulating and operating his fronts, Hungarians have no chances. And Rheinmetall neatly accepted partnership with 4iG, the crown jewel of Orban. Check the local Forbes 100, add the known fronts/Strohmann figures, he has around 20.000.000.000.000. HUF. Mészáros “Wallet” Lőrinc is the key figure, just around the corner as 1015.th in Forbes World 1000. OR get the kompromat from the Kremlin. Or push Trump to drop him. Or force to ally with one side only, dropping the other. With Babis and Fico the Fifth Column is forming in the EU.

I’m European, and for the record I choose to share in the difficult fate of Ukraine. russia started the war, it is up to those with conscience to help Ukraine end it on their terms.

Let’s ask the Hungarian & Slovakian people if they want to leave the EU, if they do, let them leave & use the funds that would have gone to them for Ukraine..

Wild Hornets drones have destroyed at least $2B worth of Russian equipment. The Ukrainian company Wild Hornets, which produces drones for the Territorial Defense Forces, including STING interceptor drones, said that its UAVs have caused approximately $2B in damage to the Russian military. It is noted that this figure is based on data from open sources, so the actual estimate may be higher. As of early October, the Ukrainian military used Wild Hornets drones to destroy 153 tanks, 231 armored vehicles, 124 artillery systems/MLRS, 669 vehicles and ammunition depots, more than 600 Shahed and Gerber drones, and 1,268 reconnaissance and strike UAVs. They also targeted more than 1,000 occupiers and their positions, along with four air defense systems. Meanwhile, Czech defense holding Czechoslovak Group (CSG) is expanding its activities and entering the high-tech weapons sector. To this end, the group has established AviaNera Technologies a.s., which will manufacture drones in cooperation with Ukrainian manufacturers. AviaNera notes that Ukraine is now a key hub for developing military technologies in the field of unmanned aviation, with the ability to test weapons in real war conditions.

A fourth Ukrainian company has begun exporting biomethane to the EU. In September 2025, UM Liquid Gas exported liquefied biomethane (bio-LNG) of Ukrainian origin for the first time. To date, more than 55.7 tons of liquefied biomethane have been shipped by tanker trucks. UM Liquid Gas exports liquefied biomethane of its own production to Germany, with the buyer being Cypriot Preture Liquid Gas, which is the founder of UM Biogas Company. Therefore, both companies are part of the same group. UM Liquid Gas produces biomethane from agricultural waste at its plant in the Vinnytsia region – the Yuzefo-Mykolaiv Biogas Plant. This makes UM Liquid Gas the second Ukrainian company to export bio-LNG and the fourth to export biomethane from Ukraine. Earlier this year, the Vitagro group of companies became the first exporter, sending biomethane to the EU through Ukraine’s gas transportation system. Later, MHP agricultural holding made the first shipment of Ukrainian bio-LNG to the EU. In June, Hals Agro Group also exported the biomethane it produced to Germany for the first time.

Tired of waiting for its allies to supply long-range weapons, Ukraine has begun attacking Russia with the new Flamingo missile. Ukraine is now using FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles to target Russian energy facilities, which are much faster than drones, fly at an altitude of 50 meters above the ground, have a range of over 3,000 kilometers, and feature a warhead weighing 1,150 kilograms, giving them enormous destructive power. “If the FP-5 proves capable of penetrating Russian air defenses, it will elevate Ukraine ‘s DeepStrike campaign to a new level of destructiveness,” the Economist wrote. Fire Point currently produces 2-3 Flamingo missiles daily, with plans to increase production to seven this month. Each missile costs approximately $500,000, while the American Tomahawk is 300% more expensive, has a shorter range, and carries a smaller payload, although it is likely more accurate and harder to shoot down. Additionally, 60% of Ukraine’s strikes on Russia are carried out using FP-1 drones, which can reach targets 1,500 kilometers away and feature advanced software resistant to electronic jamming. The cost of an FP-1 drone is roughly $55,000, with over 100 produced daily. Moreover, Ukraine also deploys the heavier and more costly Lyuty drone, which has a range of 2,000 kilometers. President Zelenskyy stated on October 6 that recent days have seen Ukraine exclusively use weapons of its own production to strike Russian targets.

Europe should wake ….. up. Support Ukraine and any way they can. Or they will be next. Its a disgrace that the US is not supporting as it should.

Congratutalions ! Ukraine should produce more of his own long range striking capabilities and hit all the major export infrastructure of Russia, including raw and refined materials production, supply chain infrastructure, energy production and distribution, military supply chains infrastructure … and do it quickly before the next Spring arrives . My belief is Trump/USA will never provide Ukraine with equipment to win this war, he wants this war to last as longly as possible to continue to sell military equipment to Ukraine and to the EU, financing the US High Tech Defense Industry!

Daniel Israel

Well, it seems Ukraine is certainly getting creative with its “made in Ukraine” aisle! 😉 This new Flamingo missile sounds like quite the showstopper. Good for them for innovating! 🚀🇺🇦

How much do Ruzzia pay you?
If it is really, really much, then maybe I can make up similar nonsense.
As long as sane people can see it is just blabber like this, it is all right.
