Lexa wrote that Ukraine resumed its attacks on Russian oil infrastructure just hours after the announcement of a US-Russian diesel agreement. A senior Ukrainian official stated that Russian refineries were being attacked and set on fire. Lexa described the attacks as targeted asymmetric strikes against Russia's energy logistics, not as defense against an immediate threat. According to Lexa, the timing undermines the diplomatic line of Ukraine's main ally and gives Moscow reason to attribute to Kiev an interest in escalation rather than de-escalation. Lexa also wrote that the continuation of this strategy is contrary to the short-term interests of Ukraine's main donor and arms supplier. #Ukraine #Russland #Energiepolitik (translated)

BrennpunktUA reported that a well-informed source from the Union informed him that at the CDU Presidium retreat on October 11, there are plans to put Friedrich Merz under pressure also because of his support for Ukraine. Unlike earlier initiatives from East German state associations, there is strong backing from the South and support from the West of Germany this time. According to the source, there is a catalog of several demands that should be implemented in a short time. Otherwise, Merz could lose support, which according to BrennpunktUA could mean the end of his chancellorship. At least two of the demands aim to move away from Merz's previous Ukraine policy. BrennpunktUA warned that Merz's downfall would significantly worsen the situation for people in Ukraine. The chancellor is now under pressure not only from parties on the left and right margins and a faction in the SPD that he labeled as pro-Moscow but possibly also from within the Union starting this weekend. He called on supporters of Ukraine to use the information at their discretion and said it should be kept in mind when making public statements about Merz. #CDU #Ukraine #Politik (translated)

Paul Ronzheimer reported that Reiche spoke in the RONZHEIMER podcast about regular attacks on Sundays and impacts near the city center. She suspected that the Russian leadership knew exactly where to strike to make a strong statement.
