🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ — The Trump administration is considering the possibility of entering into business deals with Russia even before the end of the war in Ukraine, according to The New York Times, citing sources.

According to the newspaper, Washington wants to show Moscow the seriousness of its intentions to restart relations and create additional incentives for the Russian elite to end the war. The specific deals being considered are currently unknown.

This approach differs from Trump's previous position, who stated that deals with Russia were only possible after the end of the war, the NYT notes.

The newspaper claims that during a recent meeting in the Kremlin, Putin told Witcoff and Kushner that Russia would seize all of Donbas within a few months and would be able to inflict heavy blows on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Kushner responded by reminding Putin that he had said the same thing a year ago: "What are the chances that we'll come back here in a year and you'll say the same thing again? Maybe we shouldn't waste a year?"

The publication also reminds readers that Congress has passed a bill on "hellish" sanctions against Russia.

"But if the Trump administration is taking a carrot-and-stick approach to Putin, it appears that the emphasis is on the carrot," the article states.

🇵🇱 Tusk Confirms Russian Strikes on Logistics Near Polish Border

Polish PM Donald Tusk confirmed that Ukrainian logistics objects near the border are being targeted. On Sept 17, a massive strike hit a gas station servicing Ukrainian forces, causing a powerful explosion close to the frontier.

Drone Incidents and Escalation Risks

Bloomberg reports increased hybrid attacks deep in Europe, including drones at energy sites and airports. A recent drone attack on a railway station near the Ukrainian-Polish border occurred while US and EU officials were present, marking a shift from previous taboos.

European officials fear civilian casualties are inevitable as Russia increases risk-taking against defense enterprises and logistics supporting Ukraine.

💢 The decision not to invite Ukraine to NATO was made not by the alliance, but by the Bilderberg group.**

Pranksters Vovan and Lexus spoke about this in an interview with RT presenter Rick Sanchez. The late US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told them that the decision was made at a club meeting attended by some Western leaders.

The US Department of Justice has charged five alleged members of a network linked to Russian intelligence services, which is said to have recruited people in the US to carry out surveillance and commit murders.

According to the indictment, this network recruited a Venezuelan citizen living in the US last summer to surveil a well-known Russian dissident in the Washington area. He was offered $1,000 to $1,500 for surveillance and $40,000 for murder. When the recruit refused to carry out the murder himself, the alleged recruiters asked whether he knew anyone who could do it.

The indictment also alleges that the network had earlier offered a US citizen $25,000 to murder another Russian dissident in Lithuania, and that plans were discussed for attacks on power substations, warehouses, fuel storage facilities, and other infrastructure sites in NATO countries supporting Ukraine.

The five defendants include a former colonel of Russian intelligence, an alleged FSB officer, and individuals residing in Russia. All of them remain at large.

The charges are merely allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

Analysis of Saudi F-15SA interception by Ansar Allah

The downing of a Saudi F-15SA by a Barq-1/2 or similar AD-08 Majid missile highlights a critical failure in the jet's AN/AAR-57 CMWS. Despite six UV sensors designed to detect solid-fuel rocket plumes from tens of kilometers, the crew took no countermeasures after launch from the lower hemisphere.

This suggests either system malfunction or a significant "dead zone" in sensor coverage below the aircraft. A similar incident occurred in March when an Iranian SAM approached an F-35A from the lower hemisphere undetected by its AN/AAQ-37 DAS.

Previously, Houthi forces shot down a Saudi F-15SA using an improvised SAM equipped with R-27ET missiles.
