Releasing a multi-month work today! We conducted the first fully autonomous information operation (under controlled conditions). It ran the campaigns end-to-end. It's can work in full autonomous mode. arxiv.org/abs/2608.10920

‼️❄️ Before winter, Russia stockpiled 6,200+ "Geran" drones, — GUR Massive combined strikes can involve 600–1,000 drones, while during the buildup period, Russian Armed Forces launch approximately 150–200 drones in a single attack.

🕯 Five people died, 20 more were injured: unfortunately, the number of victims as a result of the enemy attack on Zaporizhzhia is increasing…

🔞🤬 “Wagner” publish photos with severed body parts of Syrians. Russians boast about severed ears, which they take home as souvenirs, and also take pictures with severed hands of Syrians. Meanwhile, Syria is negotiating with the Russians on the “protection of state interests”.

It's a habit of his. Just like he went after @carolecadwalla.bsky.social best known for her work uncovering the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2018.

Arron Banks ‘hired private detective’ to look into journalist who investigated Reform UK. An example of the super rich using wealth to silence the press, dissent, debate, accountability. Wealth not used to persuade Reform UK to come clean about its foreign funders.

We have clearly lost the war of words that are part I the peace negotiations. What happened to eliminating Iran’s nuclear arsenal? Shouldn’t we check with Netanyahu before we agree on a “deal”?

🚨Iran’s top national security official says the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the U.S. meets six conditions: stop threats and insults; end wars against Iran and its allies; lift the naval blockade and withdraw forces; pay war damages; lift sanctions; and release frozen Iranian assets.

Been reading a compilation of Soviet radio broadcasts from the Winter War and the period immediately preceding it. It’s pretty incredible. Layers upon layers of bullshit and blatant lies, including about what the same radio station claimed few days earlier! Easy to see what inspired Orwell.

This is all bs. There never was any intention of providing patriots for Ukraine. Trump is pro-Russian, remember? This is all political theater in order to fool the press and the public. I must scream this again, as loud as I can: Trump will NEVER help Ukraine.

As we have restarted updating our map more frequently, there is an update from the Rodyns'ke direction. AFU units have retreated from positions inside the town, as defense was untennable. Russian forces now control the town and adjacent surroundings. AFU moved to Bylits'ke. RU control +3.98 km²

We've seen the chatter about a Ukrainian 'breakthrough' in Stepnohirsk towards Kamians'ke. We can be very clear about this: there is no such thing happening there. There is no breakthrough, only localized fighting. Since Ukraine reversed Russian gains in July, there is a stalemate. #Ukraine
