Russia has a new energy policy: if you can’t fix the damage, classify it. After Ukraine’s ‘40 days of impact’, Moscow is now hiding data on refinery operations, energy exports and logistics.

The Russian army continues to show complete disregard for human life and international law, deliberately launching barbaric attacks on civilian infrastructure across Ukraine.

This morning, Russia completely destroyed a five-story residential building in Pryluky, Ukraine. Five people were killed and 26 injured, including five children.

Russia is turning its economy into a black box. War spending, oil production, trade, reserves, demographics, incomes, poverty data, even population figures have disappeared from public view. When the numbers expose the cost of war, Moscow hides the numbers.

310526

Russia’s oil export volumes have fallen to their lowest level since 2018. Oil and gas revenues are down 17%. The Kremlin’s ‘economic resilience’ narratives keep running into reality.

718135

OTD, twenty years ago, Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in Moscow. A journalist and human rights defender, she exposed corruption and grave human rights abuses through her reporting, despite repeated threats and attempts on her life.

316768

‘Responsibility for the Future’ was the theme at the Valdai conference. Putin spoke at length about who is responsible for global confrontation. One responsibility remained conspicuously absent: Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine.

36524

Russia’s information operations don’t always look like propaganda. Sometimes they look like a local journalist, an independent expert, or an ordinary article in a familiar outlet. Except the journalist never existed.

715481

Transparency International’s 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index ranked Russia 154th out of 180 countries, 49 places below Ukraine and 82 below the lowest-ranked EU member state. Worth keeping in mind when Moscow next casts itself as a corruption watchdog elsewhere.

512342

At the Valdai conference, Putin warned Europe about the dangers of what he called European ‘escalation’. On the same day, Russian drones struck residential buildings in Kyiv and several major bridges while civilian traffic was moving across them.

613243

Russian sabotage and hybrid operations across Europe, near-daily drone incursions into EU airspace, and repeated attempts by the Kremlin to destabilise European states are not a ‘myth’.

36622

Two people were killed when a Russian drone struck Ukraine’s National Academy of Sciences. The Kremlin’s propaganda response? Compare the Academy to Nazi institutions and portray its scientists as extremists.

27626

While continuing to lecture the West about an ‘unacceptable style of dialogue’, the Kremlin is now again threatening foreign diplomats in Kyiv. This is what Moscow calls being open to dialogue and negotiations:

The Kremlin is taking its fabricated casualty claims to new levels, now falsely claiming that Ukraine lost 10,000 soldiers, over 600 combat vehicles, and no less than 17 ships in just one week.

109423

Russia’s electoral mathematics: Remove the only registered openly anti-war party’s nationwide list. Hold an election framed as a test of support for the war. Present the result as national consensus. The arithmetic works rather better once the variables are controlled.

EUvsDisinfo @euvsdisinfo.eu · 05/10/2026

The Kremlin continues to rewrite history, portraying the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 as a ‘liberation campaign’.

911836

EUvsDisinfo @euvsdisinfo.eu · 05/10/2026

Russia says peace is right here. Just give up Crimea. And Donbas. And more territory. And NATO. And accept restrictions on your military. With every new demand, Moscow’s version of ‘peace’ asks more of Ukraine.

t Valdai, Putin accused the West of lowering a new ‘Iron Curtain.’ Yet it is the Kremlin that has spent years building barriers between Russian society and the outside world. The Western sanctions are a justified response to Russia’s unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Putin wanted the election to show that Russians support the war. The only registered party openly opposing the war was removed from the nationwide ballot. Nothing says ‘public support’ quite like removing the option to disagree.

513344

Last year alone, the Kremlin rejected multiple peace proposals, including a Christmas truce. In May this year, it openly threatened to murder foreign diplomats in Kyiv, while Russian drones and missiles continue raining down on Ukrainian cities night after night and killing civilians in their homes.

19034

Ukrainian children unlawfully taken from occupied Ukraine. Forcibly transferred to Russia. Separated from their country and identity. ‘Rescue’ is the Kremlin’s word. War crime is the legal category.

712262

At Valdai, Putin warned Europe about the dangers of ‘escalation’. On the same day, Russian drones struck a school in Kyiv and hit a major bridge while civilian traffic was moving across it. The source of the escalation is not particularly difficult to locate.

27123

Russia continues to falsely accuse Ukraine and Western countries of crimes against children, without presenting any evidence, in an attempt to divert attention from its own documented war crimes.

26018

Russia’s repression of political opposition does not end at the ballot box. The EU’s latest human rights sanctions also cover judges and prosecutors involved in proceedings against prominent Yabloko figures, including Lev Shlosberg.

14011

The Kremlin wants the world to forget who started the war. On 24 February 2022, Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launching the largest conflict on the European continent since the Second World War. The war was not ‘forced upon’ Russia. Russia chose to start it.

37380193

Two Russian drones struck Kyiv’s Southern Bridge while civilian traffic was moving across it. A major piece of civilian transport infrastructure became the target of another Russian attack.

15720

Russia likes to state that it has fulfilled its international obligations by declaring and destroying all of its chemical weapons. But in 2018, Russian Military Intelligence brought a novel, undeclared nerve agent to Britain and used it in an attempt to assassinate Sergei and Yulia Skripal.

510347

More than 20 people were injured when a Russian guided bomb hit an apartment building in Kharkiv. Children were among them. At the same time, Russia continues launching hundreds of drones and missiles into Ukraine on a daily basis.

14412

Russia threatens NATO countries. NATO countries strengthen their defences. Russia points to those defences and says: ‘See? NATO is threatening us’. A remarkably efficient way to turn the consequences of your own behaviour into evidence for your narrative.

812840

This morning, Russia used a drone to strike a school in Kyiv while children were inside. This is what the Kremlin considers a ‘legitimate military target’.

36636

The EU has listed 10 individuals over the barring of Yabloko from Russia’s September 2026 State Duma elections. The measures cover three Supreme Court judges, an official from the Prosecutor General’s Office, and judges and prosecutors involved in proceedings against prominent Yabloko leaders.

1348

Russia’s system for the unlawful deportation and forcible transfer of Ukrainian children has now reached North Korea. The EU has sanctioned the state-run Songdowon International Children’s Camp for participating in programmes involving Ukrainian children transferred from occupied territories.

28140

Kremlin-affiliated outlets continue framing EU member states as warmongers unwilling to end the war. In reality, Russia rejected seven peace proposals last year alone, while Europe’s increased defence spending is a response to the growing Russian threat.

49139

Russia hit a scientific institution and a medical centre in Kyiv on the same day. People were killed at the National Academy of Sciences. Medical workers were injured at Dobrobut. Both buildings were left burning.

14418

Russia continues to deny the UN and other humanitarian groups safe access to occupied Oleshky while falsely accusing Ukraine of causing the humanitarian crisis.

15320

In the 2026 RSF World Press Freedom Index, Russia ranked 172ndout of 180 countries, making it one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists.

49139

The EU has sanctioned 10 Russian officials over their role in suppressing democratic opposition and the decision to ban Yabloko, the only political party in Russia to openly oppose the country’s war of aggression against Ukraine.

0456

Russia’s illegal deportation of Ukrainian children relies on an entire chain of institutions. Officials organise. Camps accommodate. Schools and programmes re-educate. State-linked bodies help normalise the process.

510154

A Russian drone struck the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv. The building caught fire while people were still trapped inside, waiting for emergency crews to reach them.

34717

Meet Vyacheslav Kirillov, a Russian Supreme Court judge – and one of the latest names on the EU sanctions list. Kirillov delivered the ruling that barred Yabloko’s federal list from Russia’s parliamentary elections.
