This St Z corrupted grifter's Mussolini moment is nigh.
Zel should call Joe and Hunter Biden, maybe they can help.
At least 18 Domino’s pizza locations in Kyiv. Order one today!
When we lived in Kyiv 10 years ago we ordered a pizza every week. They weren’t as a good as the American ones. But the food is so bad in Ukraine, they were fantastic by comparison. lol
Trump cutting off intel is disgusting. All for his own gain.
We have no need to be involved when Little z does everything possible for Democrats and employs Biden’s son, routes US war support money back to Democrats, and blows up refineries after Trump had earlier said to not do so.
He was also using Elon’s equipment to strike offensively.
Enjoy the suck, Little z.

Blame little Zeke. He was doing all could to help the rats and insulted the President on a near daly basis.
Peepers ejaculating all over this.
It’s going to take a hit on US soil before many realize who the real adversaries of the US are.
Trump cutting off intel is disgusting. All for his own gain.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Really? His OWN gain? How so?
Time for the Z Boy to go.

Summary: Ukraine War Update — October 22, 2026
The video reviews reported Russian missile and drone attacks across Ukraine, developments on several front lines, and the potential relationship between Russia's military operations and future peace negotiations.
The presenter reports that Russia is prepared to resume trilateral negotiations with Ukraine and the United States around November 10, following talks in St. Petersburg.
He interprets the proposed delay as an opportunity for Russia to strengthen its battlefield position before negotiations resume.
According to the presenter, Russia may intensify its attacks and advance on multiple fronts to improve its negotiating leverage and potentially impose additional territorial demands.
Russia reportedly launched a large overnight attack on Kyiv during the night of October 21–22, using approximately 210 strike drones and 22 missiles.
The presenter identifies the reported missile inventory as 11 Iskander ballistic missiles, eight modified S-400 ballistic missiles, and three Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles.
Ukrainian officials reportedly said that 181 aerial targets were intercepted. The presenter cites other sources claiming that none of the missiles were intercepted, although the available figures do not independently establish the precise interception results.
The presenter emphasizes Ukraine's continuing difficulty intercepting Russian ballistic missiles, despite reported U.S. assistance with early-warning and targeting-related systems.
Southern bridge: The Russian side reportedly claimed to have struck a bridge used for road and rail transport of military cargo. The resulting traffic congestion allegedly disrupted civilian movement across the Dnipro River.
Warehouses and commercial facilities: The presenter shows footage and images of extensive destruction and fires at warehouses, shopping centers, and other facilities, particularly in the northwestern part of Kyiv. He suggests that Iskander missiles may have caused some of the damage.
Antonov enterprise: An attack on the aviation-related enterprise was also reported, but the presenter says he had not obtained visual evidence confirming the damage.
Western Ukraine: Unlike previous attacks, the overnight strikes reportedly did not target the western regions of the country.
The presenter characterizes the attack as one of Kyiv's worst nights since the full-scale war began and predicts that further large-scale attacks could occur before negotiations resume.
Russian missiles and drones reportedly attacked the city of Dnipro.
The presenter identifies the Prydniprovska power station, or potentially an associated electrical substation or power lines, as a possible target.
Reports also described an attack on a bridge in Dnipro, although the presenter says the specific bridge and extent of the damage had not been confirmed when he recorded the video.
Pro-Russian sources reportedly claimed that Russian forces recaptured northern parts of Primorsk and made progress around Mala Katerinivka.
Russian military sources also announced the capture of Marivka. The presenter questions the strength of the evidence, noting that the released footage showed fighting and bombardment but apparently did not clearly demonstrate Russian troops establishing control over the settlement.
He reports that Russian forces had claimed control of several settlements during the preceding week, including Amelnyk, Tymoshivka, and Marivka.
The presenter argues that Russia is attempting to advance toward Zaporizhzhia city to strengthen its position before renewed negotiations. He speculates that a sufficiently significant advance could allow Moscow to demand Ukrainian troop withdrawals from the city's outskirts or impose further territorial conditions.
These territorial claims are presented primarily through Russian or pro-Russian reporting and are not independently verified in the transcript.
Russian forces reportedly made incremental advances along the T-0514 road in the Dobropillia direction.
The presenter says Russian troops are attempting to outflank Druzhkivka and Kramatorsk while improving their positions around Rai-Oleksandrivka.
He cites reports, including from pro-Ukrainian sources, claiming that Russian forces control approximately 60% of Rai-Oleksandrivka.
According to his assessment, these advances could bring Russian forces closer to Sloviansk from the east.
The presenter reports that Russian forces have intensified operations west of Kupiansk, apparently seeking to establish a buffer zone between the city and Ukrainian military positions.
He also describes a Russian offensive toward Shevchenkove, which he portrays as part of broader efforts to advance in the direction of Kharkiv.
In the northeastern Kharkiv region, Russian military sources reportedly said fighting was underway for Sosnovo-Borivka and Bugaivka.
The stated Russian objective is to improve positions along the Siverskyi Donets River and eventually approach Star Saltiv, potentially threatening important road connections in the area.
Russian forces reportedly attacked toward Mykilske, a settlement situated in a forested area of Sumy Oblast.
The presenter argues that capturing the settlement could bring Russian positions to within roughly 10 kilometers of Sumy city.
He speculates that such an advance might prompt Ukrainian authorities to order a mandatory evacuation and would provide Russia with a significant propaganda victory.
The transcript does not establish that an evacuation order has been issued or that Russian forces have captured the settlement.
The presenter portrays Russia as pursuing a coordinated strategy combining sustained long-range attacks against Ukrainian cities and infrastructure with incremental advances across several fronts. He interprets the reported delay in peace negotiations as giving Moscow time to improve its military position and increase pressure on Kyiv before talks resume.
The most prominent developments discussed are the large-scale overnight attack on Kyiv, reported damage to transportation and commercial infrastructure, and claimed Russian advances in the Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Sumy directions.
Caveat: This summary reflects the claims and interpretations made in the video. Many battlefield developments, interception figures, damage assessments, and territorial-control claims are attributed to one side or to unnamed sources and should not be treated as independently confirmed facts.
The FR Putinistas are very happy:
In June, Russia launched about 350 jet-powered attack drones at Ukraine. By September, it was launching more than 3,000 a month (about nine times as many). And in one week this October, Ukraine faced almost 2,700 attack drones.
. 85% more civilian casualties
The UN counted 2,433 civilians killed or injured in Ukraine in September. That’s 85% more than last year during the same month.
Get their butts to the peace table. Accept that this is not going to end with them getting what they want.
Not a single dollar of my tax money more it’s way past time to settle.
If the EU wants to buy our weapons at full price and give them to Z baby then fine but not one cent of my tax money. I simply don’t care about Ukraine I care about our out of control spending and debt and the cost of global energy supplies. Which is actually making me a ton of money being in the energy business at the capital class level. I still pull for lower diesel as it has a massive inflationary pressure on the economy and that’s bad for everyone.
Ukraine didn’t lose but they cannot win either so it’s past time to call it.
