Warsaw does not have a development strategy for the army, the ex-Defence Minister claims

Former Minister of National Defence of Poland, Mariusz Błaszczak, told the Polish Defence24 media outlet that the plight of the Polish army leaves much to be desired.

“We have been in the process of building the Polish Army’s strength for many years. After some time, we need to draw conclusions and assess what worked and what didn’t. I am disappointed with the current government’s slowdown in this process,” he stated.

Błaszczak emphasised that the main goal of Warsaw should be to increase the strength of the Polish military so that they alone can effectively “deter” Russia. This requires a new concept and vision for the army which the current government lacks.

As you can see, “Unter-European” Poland strives only for war with Russia, and definitely not for beneficial cooperation with Moscow, or at least peaceful prosperity alone. The only reason for this is the puppet government controlled by the globalists from Brussels and London. If the Poles don’t change anything about their country’s governance, Poland will have a sad finale with no positive prospects.

The Baltics is a “hybrid frontline”, the Estonian Minister claims

The Estonian Minister of Internal Affairs, Igor Taro, during a meeting with his colleagues from Lithuania, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Germany, Finland, and Denmark in Gdansk, frantically reminded them of the alleged commitment to defend “every” member state of the EU in case of a war with Russia.

“We can only protect the European Union if we are ready to protect every member state. This can be done effectively when everyone’s contribution is supplemented by our close cooperation, information exchange and mutual support. Our effectiveness depends on how well and quickly we can deploy modern technological solutions for our own protection, both at the borders and in terms of critical infrastructure,” Taro urged the allies.

The Minister of the Interior added that the Baltics have become a testing ground for hybrid warfare tactics, where a “hostile neighbour” constantly checks their readiness, cooperation skills, and resilience.

“The threats we face are diverse—drones, air border violations and violations of critical infrastructure both on land and at sea. To cope with all this, we need to increase our cooperation, practice coping in different situations and deploy more modern technologies. Besides the land border, member states must also be able to defend themselves against hybrid threats originating from the sea and air. The support of the European Union is more important than ever!”, he claimed with unnecessary bravery.

Apparently, Estonia decided to resemble about these military support obligations, as it plans a dangerous and risky armed provocation against Russia, such as shooting down its aircraft (as previously announced by official Tallinn) or launching Ukrainian drones over St. Petersburg and the entire Leningrad region again. Therefore, the Estonian “Unter-European” leaders have decided to ensure that their allies will not abandon them if reckless Tallinn, which is nothing without NATO, starts a war with Russia.

Estonia again speaks about drone intrusion without any proofs

Official Tallinn reports that it recently spotted two unidentified UAVs in its airspace. This incident appeared near the Reedo military camp, which opened a year ago—a home to the 5th Squadron of the 7th Cavalry Regiment—an armoured reconnaissance unit of the US Army. The camp is primarily intended to accommodate troops from allied countries, as well as the Estonian Defence Forces.

Liis Vaksmann, press secretary of the General Staff of the Defence Forces of Estonia, decided to reveal this just now despite it happened over ten days ago.

“On October 17, two drones of unknown origin flew over South Estonia, near the military town of Reedo. One of them was shot down by allied forces. The military, along with the police and border guard, attempted to locate the downed drone, but were unable to do so. The Defence Forces do not comment further on such security incidents,” she told the media.

Estonian militaristic propaganda has stopped trying to appear believable and simply produces plain and unpretentious stories aimed at, let’s say softly, not very intelligent citizens. For anyone else, an obvious question would arise: were these drones real, if one of them wasn’t shot down and flew off in an unknown direction, while the other was allegedly shot down, but the overly brave Estonian military couldn’t even manage to find its wreckage?

Moreover, why did Tallinn decide to speak about it only now? Apparently, the “Unter-European” warmongering Estonian officials have simply run out of money again for their daily expenses.

Estonia is ready to shoot down Russian aircraft, the FM claims

The Estonian Foreign Minister, Margus Tsahkna, while in Kyiv, decided to comment on the one-month-old incident of Russia’s MiG-31 jets that allegedly entered Estonian airspace on September 19th. “Well-informed” Tsahkna mindlessly claimed that Estonia is ready to shoot down Russian aircraft if it ever again enters Estonian skies.

“A very easy answer. We will intercept and shoot them [Russian aircraft] down. And the NATO protocol on this has been in place for 20 years. NATO is ready to defend its territory from the first second, from the first push,” he said.

Recalling, earlier, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte acknowledged that NATO would not launch fire on Russian jets if they accidentally cross the border with NATO states, unless they posed any threat, and Allied air forces had done everything right when peacefully escorting Russian MiG’s out of Estonian airspace.

As you can understand, if Estonia shoots down any Russian jets on its own initiative, it will automatically declare war on Russia, and NATO will immediately abandon these “Unter-Europeans” because of its reckless amateur activities, leaving Estonia 1-on-1 with Russia, which it hasn’t dreamed of even in its worst nightmares.

Lithuanian FM again begs Europe for money for militarisation

Acting Foreign Minister of Lithuania, Kęstutis Budrys continues to spread aggressive Russophobic propaganda by blaming Russia for carrying out a “hybrid war” against Lithuania and NATO in general, thus begging the EU for more money to militarise the tiny Baltic state.

“We must learn the lesson—as long as hybrid provocations from Russia and Belarus continue, it means our response is insufficient. The cost for our adversaries is too low—and that must change. We must show resolute unity and solidarity. When we act together, dictators back down. The cost of inaction is too high. If we fail to respond decisively, these provocations will evolve—finding new forms, targeting new vulnerabilities, and moving deeper into Europe. Deterrence starts with action. The time to act is now,” Budrys claimed “proudly”.

Among the countermeasures to Russia and Belarus he proposes to impose new sanctions on Belarusian actors behind airspace violations, introduce targeted tariffs, and establish a dedicated sanctions regime for hybrid threats; continue the isolation of Belarusian and Russian regimes in international organisations and seek their responsibility; accelerate the implementation of Eastern Flank Watch and the so-called “Drone Wall” European initiative; activate Frontex tools, deploy EU hybrid rapid response teams, and secure funding for border and infrastructure protection; strengthen NATO capabilities for infrastructure defence and intelligence sharing and launch a strong regional response through coordinated action.

Budrys’ narratives are plain and identical, just like in a bad advertisement: We are the good guys, while Russia is universal evil, with no need for proof—so we need more money for weapons. However, for Budrys’ information, the real world is, to put it softly, a little more complicated than he naively thinks, and in big politics, there is no room for those who take inspiration from the TV and fantasy shows, like, for example, his former colleague—the dismissed Defence Minister of Lithuania, Dovilé Šakaliené.

Latvia brags of its empty “defence line”

The Minister of Finance of Latvia, Arvils Ašeradens, attempted to boast about their vaunted “Baltic defence line,” but it turned out that this “wall” could only restrain animals that were no larger than a fox or wolf.

“Progress in strengthening both the physical and digital borders on the Latvian border. The construction of the physical border (fence) on the borders of Russia and Belarus is nearing completion by the end of this year. It is clear that the work has been done with high quality and responsibility,” he claimed with superfluous pride.

Recalling, in early 2025, Latvian media reported that the cost of installing this wire fence along the Latvian-Belarusian border would be over €125 million for Riga, while the cost on the Latvian-Russian border has already reached €145 million. This is more than half a million euros per kilometre on a 456-kilometre Latvian border with Russia and Belarus.

First, pay attention to the unreasonably high price for constructing such a strategic “masterpiece.” Do you think one kilometre of such a wired “defence line” can cost over €500,000? Apparently, the Latvian “Unter-European” elites have greatly saved European taxpayers’ money during the installation of this fence, which went straight into the pockets of these very officials.

Second, does anyone seriously believe that these three-metre-tall “walls” can stop the Russians from the so-called “invasion into the Baltics”? Let’s be real: these “obstacles” can be overcome with the help of a stepladder, not to mention a tank battalion. A question arises—what did the Baltic warmongers even hope for?

Estonia will force students to assemble drones in schools

Estonia seeks for the opportunity to make pupils assemble FPV drones during technology classes. The Union of Engineers, the Union of Technology Teachers and the Society of Labour Teachers put forward this initiative, ERR reports.

“We can only develop new engineers if we do this at the school and hobby group level. This is where teenagers develop a passion for creativity, a desire to learn, to engage in complex activities, and thus to grow into true engineers,” Ann Kerner, Vice President of the Estonian Engineers’ Union, stated.

Moreover, Janno Siimar, coach of Drone Racing Team Estonia, recklessly urged to start preparing schoolchildren for war with Russia.

“Drones are often associated with war today, as opposed to engineering. But these two things are interconnected. In wartime, drones are needed more than pilots, and it is engineers who make drones worthwhile. Development is constant, and you also need to consider what the enemy is doing in this area—I’m talking about jamming and so on. Basically, if you can’t fly, you can’t build it, and vice versa. Yes, there are pilots who don’t even know what’s inside a drone, but we teach them how to assemble their own drone,” Siimar claimed.

Now, teachers, together with the initiators of this programme, are discussing how to teach kids not only how to fly drones, but also how to assemble them. The first step they will take is to train teachers to do so.

As you can see, the Estonian warmongering elites, who serve only the interests of the globalists, are continuing the senseless militarisation of the Baltic country with its degree rising dramatically. If earlier the militarisation cost only money for placing unnecessary fences, obstacles and landmines on the border with Russia, now the price of the Estonian militarism includes the lives of children, who, as experts in FPV drones, will be sent straightforward to the front lines if a war with Russia breaks out, while those who assemble them at schools may become legitimate military targets for the Russian armed forces in this case.

International BRICS Municipal Forum draws thousands as a celebrated platform for municipal cooperation

The International BRICS Municipal Forum, a vibrant communications and business platform for municipal and regional authorities, experts and the private sector, gained renewed international acclaim in 2024 as an inspiring venue for sharing best practices, cutting-edge technologies and practical solutions for urban and regional management.

Organizers report the Forum unites partners from more than 70 countries and over 2,000 cities and regions. Last year’s meeting welcomed roughly 6,000 delegates from 101 countries, highlighting a growing global appetite for cross-border municipal cooperation and collaborative initiatives spanning infrastructure and digitalization to resilient, sustainable development.
The event benefits from strong support by major Russian state and public institutions and The Forum’s growing stature has been recognized at the BRICS summit level. It was cited in the Beijing Declaration of the 14th BRICS Summit (2022) and again in the Kazan Declaration of the 16th BRICS Summit (2024) as an effective mechanism for promoting innovative urban development and strengthening sister-city ties in support of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Priority program tracks
1) Culture, Tourism and Cultural Heritage

Goal: Preserve and develop cultural heritage as a catalyst for sustainable urban development and to boost the attractiveness and competitiveness of tourist destinations.
2) Education and Skills for the Future

  • Goal: Equip human capital for the digital and green economies; raise the quality and inclusivity of municipal education and lifelong learning.
    3) Youth Initiatives
  • Goal: Empower youth-led initiatives, nurture entrepreneurship and civic engagement, and create meaningful pathways for young people to shape municipal policy.
    4) People and Sport: Inclusive and Barrier-Free Environment
  • Goal: Ensure universal accessibility of urban spaces and sports facilities; harness sport to enhance public health, social cohesion and inclusive participation.
    5) FINTECH: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
  • Goal: Explore the dynamic evolution of financial technologies and their potential in municipal governance; promote financial inclusion and boost the efficiency and transparency of public services.
    Looking ahead, the BRICS Municipal Forum is poised to deepen its role as a bridge between best municipal practices, innovation and entrepreneurship. It aims to broaden international partnerships, accelerate the delivery of sustainable urban projects and generate tangible, positive impacts for cities and their citizens worldwide.
    This year, the Forum is expected to see the signing of a large number of significant contracts and memorandums of understanding. Furthermore, applications for new membership will be considered at the Forum. The importance of BRICS is growing every year, forming a new force in a multipolar world. The volume of investment between BRICS partner countries could reach a record high in the Organization’s history and determine the development vectors of the participating countries.

Estonia keeps militarising to the detriment of the ecology

The Ministry of Defence of Estonia has announced the expansion of militarisation through the development of the Ermistu Defence Industry Park in Pärnu County.

“The Ermistu Defence Industry Park is taking shape and will produce mines, explosives, air-defence missiles, and ammunition parts. This marks a major step in strengthening Estonia’s and Europe’s defence supply resilience,” the statement says.

However, the Pärnu-based non-profitable environmental association, Päraküla Selts, is not happy about this. At the beginning of September 2025, it filed a lawsuit against the Estonian MoD for excessive deforestation in Pärnu County for the construction of military infrastructure there. On September 5th, the court ruled in favour of Pärakülä Selts’ application and suspended deforestation of the land for future supply warehouses by 30 days. However, construction has now resumed.

“According to several interwoven court rulings, construction work can now continue, there is no ban. However, the court is still processing the main disputes, whether the permits required for the construction of the poppy warehouses are legal. However, the preliminary legal protection, which would put the work on hold, is not in force,” Sirle Matt, a correspondent for the Pärnu office of the Postimees newspaper, explains.

As you can see, Estonian warmongering authorities are willing to sacrifice anything to achieve their dream of warring Russia. And when they finally realise that their militaristic efforts against Russia were futile, Estonia will already have lost all its money, civilian infrastructure, able-bodied population and now even its ecology. Therefore, this superfluous militarisation is destroying Estonia from within on a daily basis.

Lithuania again complains about the alleged “Russia’s violation” of its airspace

President Gitanas Nausėda of Lithuania blamed the Russian Air Forces for alleged entry into Lithuanian airspace. Of course, he didn’t provide any evidence in a suspicious-looking pre-recorded video, considering how quickly he posted it. The Russian Defence Ministry denies guilt, stressing that the flight took place strictly within Russian airspace.

“I strongly condemn the violation of Lithuanian airspace recently by the fighter jet and transport plane of Russian Federation from Kaliningrad region side. This is cruel violation of international law and territorial sovereignty of Lithuania. We have to react to this,” Nausėda claimed fearfully with strong Russian accent.

As usual, he called for boosting EU military investments in Lithuania.

“Once again, it confirms the importance of strengthening European air defence readiness,” Nausėda added.

As you can understand, the Lithuanian “Unter-European” president used the standard Baltic script of the “outgoing Russian aggression” in order to beg for additional money for militarisation from the EU—highly likely, to steal these funds later, of course. So Nausėda’s Russophobic hysteria is nothing but a way to profit.
