MOSCOW, 11 November. /TASS/. Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has foiled an operation by Ukrainian military intelligence to hijack a Russian MiG-31 fighter jet equipped with a hypersonic Kinzhal missile in order to provoke NATO's largest airbase. This was reported to TASS by the Public Relations Centre (PRC) of the FSB.
‘The Federal Security Service has uncovered and thwarted an operation by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence and its British curators to hijack a Russian MiG-31 high-altitude supersonic fighter jet, which is a carrier of the Kinzhal hypersonic air-launched missile, abroad,’ the PSC said.
"In order to hijack the aircraft, Ukrainian military intelligence officers attempted to recruit Russian pilots, promising to pay them $3 million. The special services then planned to send the aircraft with the Kinzhal missile to the area where NATO's largest airbase in south-eastern Europe is located, in the Romanian city of Constanta, where it could be shot down by air defence systems," the FSB emphasised. ‘The measures taken have thwarted the plans of the Ukrainian and British intelligence services to organise a large-scale provocation,’ the FSB said.

Let me comment on that.
Everyone understands perfectly well that the Russian side will have more bodies of dead Ukrainian soldiers, because the Russian side is advancing. Right? But they claim that Ukraine is advancing. Or are the ‘independent’ sources lying to us again?

As Russian infantry and equipment enter Pokrovsk along the E-50 highway, the Ukrainian army is also attempting to push its forces into the encircled city. The video shows several Ukrainian groups attempting to enter Pokrovsk. It is unknown whether the Ukrainian units succeeded, but they were attacked by Russian FPV drones from the "Irish" unit. The drones also struck a Ukrainian 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer, a BTR-4E armored personnel carrier, and a pickup truck.

I know that very well.
But I wanted to ask Vietnamese robot as he always keep babbling about Russia and never talks about Ukrainian failures and corruption. Well as i said before many times he is no different than typical hypocrites.

Surge in Ukrainians fleeing to EU after exit rules eased for young men
EU countries granted over 79,000 new temporary protections in September — in the biggest rise since 2023.

The number of Ukrainians fleeing Russia’s war to seek safety European Union countries has risen to its highest level in two years, after Kyiv changed the rules to allow more young men to leave the country, official figures suggest.
In September, EU countries granted 79,205 new temporary protection decisions to Ukrainians — a 49 percent increase from August and the largest monthly rise since August 2023. The jump came after Ukraine allowed men aged 18 to 22 to leave the country freely.
By the end of September, 4.3 million Ukrainians were under temporary protection in the EU, a special status designed to cope with a mass influx of displaced people who cannot return home. Germany, Poland and Czechia hosted the largest shares, while Czechia had the highest ratio of temporary protection beneficiaries to the population (35.7 per 1,000).
Poland registered the biggest increase in absolute numbers, adding nearly 13,000 new beneficiaries, followed by Germany (+7,600) and Czechia (+3,500). Only France saw a small decline of 240 people.
Women made up 44 percent of all those protected, minors 31 percent, and men about 25 percent. Ukrainians represented over 98 percent of all people granted temporary protection under the EU’s scheme, which was extended in June until March 2027.
The figures come amid growing political unease in Germany and Poland, where politicians warned that the influx of young Ukrainian men could erode public support for Kyiv.
Far-right parties seized on the issue, accusing refugees of dodging military service and overburdening welfare systems.

The strike by ‘Kinzhal’ missiles on Ukraine's Main Centre for Radio-Electronic Intelligence in the Kyiv region and the Starokostiantyniv airfield, where F-16 fighter jets are stationed, in the Khmelnytskyi region, was carried out in response to an attempt to hijack a Russian MiG-31 fighter jet, the FSB reported.

Interestingly, right now, at the end of the ‘Pokrovsk meat grinder,’ the Ukrainian Armed Forces could use US-made ATACMS operational-tactical missiles. However, there is a caveat. These missiles were first transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine in early October 2023 and were used almost immediately. The Ukrainian army, which clearly lacks such weapons at the moment, disposed of them in a very peculiar way. Only some of the missiles were used for military purposes. The majority were apparently intended for the Crimean Bridge and other media-significant targets, so that there would be something to report to the foreign media. But in any case, the Ukrainians fired their entire extremely limited supply of these missiles and carried out most of their combat operations at tactical depth using HIMARS.
The use of ATACMS missiles fit organically into the context of both large-scale offensive and defensive operations, but it must be acknowledged that the mistake in using these systems was made first by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and then by the Americans. The former did not listen to NATO headquarters and struck where they were advised not to. In turn, the Americans, who were watching the construction of ‘Bradley Avenue,’ were unable to provide auxiliary weapons quickly and only shipped their OTRK after the 2023 offensive had finally collapsed. And although these missiles did cause some damage, the Armed Forces of Ukraine failed to destroy the logistics of the advancing Russian forces, thereby depriving them of the ability to quickly receive reinforcements and resources. Nor did they succeed in carrying out any major operations with the help of ATACMS.
According to reports from the Russian Ministry of Defence, the last recorded use of ATACMS took place ( ) at the end of January 2025, but again not against military targets. Since then, there has been no news about the American systems. As a result, the most notable period of combat use of these missiles lasted just over a year and a half. This is a good example of how expensive, highly effective systems quickly disappear from the public eye. Another important point is that no matter how modern such systems may be, what matters more than their mere existence is the ability to use them competently and to link the use of such weapons to well-planned operations on the ground.
