Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Jēkabpils, Latvia, on November 7, demanding an end to Russian grain transit through the country. Farmers arrived in tractors, waving Latvian, Ukrainian and Estonian flags under the slogan “No to Bloody Grain!” Protesters booed government officials and chanted “Tear up the tracks!” The demonstration follows a sharp increase in Russian grain shipments through Latvia, with September transit volumes nearly doubling year-on-year following Ukrainian strikes on Russian port infrastructure. Protesters are demanding an end to the transportation of grain from Russia and Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories. Estonia banned Russian and Belarusian grain transit on October 1. Latvia is now facing growing pressure to follow suit.

Russia has been increasingly incorporating turbojet engines and mesh radio modems into its long-range strike drones, which is likely allowing Russian forces to more effectively penetrate Ukrainian air defenses and conduct more precise strikes compared to Russia’s Winter 2025-2026 strike campaign. The depletion of Ukraine’s missile interceptors and limited counter-launch capabilities risk leaving Ukraine vulnerable to Russian ballistic missile strikes.
NEW: Russian forces continued their missile and drone strike campaign against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and targeted Kyiv City with 36 ballistic missiles overnight on November 6 to 7. The large-scale Russian ballistic missile strike against Kyiv City also damaged the Northern Bridge as Russian forces continue efforts to target Ukraine’s transportation infrastructure and disrupt its economy.

Lol, even Fox News not holding back)
"Horrible decision." GOP Rep. Marlin Stutzman isn't holding back after President Trump names Stephen Miller his new White House chief of staff, a move that has several House Republicans furious following the party's midterm losses. Multiple GOP lawmakers tell Fox News Digital they wanted Miller fired, not promoted, arguing his hardline immigration policies damaged the party's standing with voters, particularly in Latino communities. One Republican even calls Miller a "megalomaniac," though the lawmaker also argues he isn't solely responsible for the election losses. The White House is defending Miller's record, but lawmakers are revealing what happened when they confronted him behind closed doors. foxnews.com/politics/house-g…

Revisiting this calculation I made based on federal budget data. "Losses" in this chart are killed and severely wounded soldiers (not active anymore in Ukraine). This data is also in line with the numbers in the new leak.
Here is the most shocking chart from the Rosstat data leak. It is based on the dates on the death certificates. The hackers provide a searchable database. Important to note: The increase in deaths per year could be partially related to missing soldiers declared dead much later.

If Kushner’s template for the “enduring security framework in Europe” were Russia-NATO Council, it would be of little interest to Ru. Unless it’s a binding Ru-U.S.-NATO security treaty along the lines of Ru December 2021 memos. A hard sell for all. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Strike on "Yandex" logistics transport on the R-280 highway. The Russian logistics system is once again lost; operators of the State Special Communications Service are promptly resolving the situation. 🤝

I spoke with @AlexStubb. We are coordinating our efforts ahead of the meeting in Abu Dhabi. We need strong, joint positions with our partners. Our top priority is ending the war. There must be no alternative to a just and lasting peace. Security guarantees must be real. Russia must understand that any war will come at a painful cost, borne by none other than the aggressor. Thank you to Finland for its unwavering principled stance! And thank you for helping us communicate with our other partners. Tomorrow, we will hold a substantive preparation meeting with our delegation. Glory to Ukraine!

The more I learn about the insane relationship between the Trump Administration, Chinese spies, and AI billionaires, the more I’m convinced there is nothing this administration does that isn’t corrupt. Congress will investigate and get answers.

One thing to understand is that Trump is doing all these things, trying to push a terrible deal on Ukraine and Europe, having Kushner propose blowing up the European security order, making Miller chief of staff...out of weakness, not strength. He is running out of time. And if he doesn't do what he promised Putin, he might not get paid.
