President Zelenskyy emphasized that the Ukrainian military didn’t conduct any operations in this area: "It has been established that this is a combined Russian attack by naval and aerial drones." Russia is trying to implement a plan to turn the western part of the Black Sea into unfit for navigation

all 3 vessels that came under attack and 2 that sank are Turkish-owned and operated (at the same time, 2 vessels belong to the same company, SPRING MARINE DENIZCILIK). Also, for the first time, a combined Russian attack took place in the exclusive economic zone of Bulgaria.

Starting from Monday, 5th October 2026, the Russian Federation has started a new phase of the war in the Black Sea and is hunting for vessels owned by Turkish owners: 📹: a drone strike on the Royad Mammadov vessel on Monday. It sailed out of Izmail, carrying grain and sank in the Black Sea.

On 6 October, Russia, via Belarus, sharply raised the level of provocation on the border with Latvia. At least 20 migrants were accompanied by armed people in masks who threatened Latvian troops and forcibly directed people across the border⤵️

In 2022, it was precisely from the territory of Belarus that Russia launched its offensive on Kyiv. Belarus means Russia. As for border defense, bunkers and anti-tank ditches alone will not provide enough protection.

Moscow has already drawn up an "indictment" against the Baltic states. Russia is following exactly the same stages as it did with Ukraine. The final stage is the announcement of a "denazification" operation. We have already seen and heard all of this in 2014 and 2022.
