Russian hackers breached Polish power grid thanks to bad security, report says
#Russia #Poland #cybersecurity #power #infrastructure #energy
"For all the talk of Russia’s “weaponisation” of gas supplies, history tells a different story. For decades, first the Soviet Union and later Russia continued supplying energy to Germany and the rest of Europe through multiple geopolitical crises, including during the height of the Cold War. More recently, even after the delivery of German weapons to Ukraine, and then the attack on Nord Stream, Moscow repeatedly stated that it was up to Berlin whether to resume gas supplies or not.
The United States, by contrast, has a long and well-documented history of weaponising energy — using it as leverage to extract economic and geopolitical concessions. And under Donald Trump, this has become explicit policy. The US National Security Strategy, published in November 2025, designates “American energy dominance” across oil, gas, coal and nuclear power as a top strategic priority, explicitly framing the expansion of American energy exports as a means to “project power”. This is not mere rhetoric. The Trump administration has repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to intervene aggressively in domestic and global markets, upend established policies and exert pressure not only on adversaries but also on long-standing allies.
By the time Trump returned to office, Europe’s dependence on US energy was already a fait accompli, following the EU’s decision to cut itself off from Russian gas and the sabotage of Nord Stream. Since then, Trump has only actively sought to deepen that dependence. In April 2025, for instance, his administration used the so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs to pressure Germany and other EU states to refrain from importing any Russian energy."

It is shocking how little coverage there is of an
unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine due to
Russia's destruction of its energy grid. It's -20C
outside and half of the country experienced a total
blackout today. Metro trains stopped operating in Kyiv
and Kharkiv today. Rolling blackouts have been
ongoing for weeks, often with no heating and running
water inside people's houses. People get sick and die
because of this. In the meantime, Russians laugh and
call for more strikes to punish Ukraine for its
unwillingness to surrender. These are strikes affecting
millions of civilians amid the harshest winter in
decades. These are crimes against humanity that
Russia is confident it will get away with. We cannot let
that happen

Polish President Nawrocki:
We in Poland, we don't know a different Russia than an aggressive Russia. Never mind Tsarist Russia, White Russia, Bolshevik Russia, or today's Putin's Russia - it is always the threat for Poland, for Europe, for East-Central Europe.
In history, we know only Russia who is the threat. Even nowadays in the 21st century, after Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, Russia is still a threat to Europe.

"After Bashar al-Assad’s overthrow in Syria, Maduro’s fall in Venezuela represents a serious blow to Russia’s global ambitions, and this is good news for Europe. However, the fall of a regime, illegitimate as it may be, through an illegal military attack by a foreign country and the establishment of a quasi-colonial protectorate constitutes a violation of the most basic norms of sovereignty and independence on which European security is built. It is Russia’s dream for Europe.
True, Putin does not need Trump’s free pass to pursue such a vision. He has done so in Ukraine, as well as in Georgia and Moldova, well before Trump toppled Maduro. But there is no doubt that Trump’s green-lighting of spheres of influence – not just in words but in action – embodies the law of the jungle so dear to dictators such as Putin. For Europeans to silently condone such a vision is not just unethical. It is plain stupid."

Countries want to be in NATO because they don't want Russia to invade them, to attack them. And that's why Sweden and Finland joined NATO. That's why the Baltic states joined NATO, to have this defense umbrella, really.
Now, if this is not in question [for Ukraine], or this is out of the question, then we need to see what are the security guarantees that are tangible. They can't be papers or promises.

#Zelensky said on Sunday that the #US, #Europe & other partners' #security guarantees instead of #NATO membership were a compromise on #Ukraine's side.
"From the very beginning, Ukraine's desire was to join NATO, these are real security guarantees. Some partners from the US & Europe did not support this direction," he said in answer to questions from reporters in a WhatsApp chat.
"Thus, today, bilateral #security guarantees between #Ukraine & the #US, Article 5-like guarantees for us from the US, & security guarantees from European colleagues, as well as other countries — #Canada, #Japan — are an opportunity to prevent another Russian invasion," #Zelensky said.
"And it is already a compromise from our part," he said, adding that the security guarantees should be legally binding.

“Trump’s America is not merely indifferent to Europe – it’s positively hostile to it. That has enormous implications for the continent and for Britain, which too many of our leaders still refuse to face.
…
The motive hardly matters: whether the US regards the EU as an enemy for transactional or ideological reasons, it now sees it as an enemy.
…
[Mark] Rutte warns of war, urging Europe to prepare itself, yet he has nothing to say about the one-time ally across the Atlantic now turned foe. On the contrary, only a few months ago the Nato boss was literally calling Trump “daddy”.
…
Few embody the contradiction more fully than Britain’s own Keir Starmer. He prides himself on his solidarity with Zelenskyy, but remains silent as Trump demonstrates his solidarity with Putin.
…
It’s come to something when the sharpest geopolitical voice in Europe belongs to the pope. Leo criticised Trump for “trying to break apart” an Atlantic alliance that remained essential. In the current climate, even naming the problem counts as a radical act. Now it’s time for those leaders who do not speak in the name of God, but for the peoples of Europe, to be as brave.”

I read the serious discussions about ‘who eavesdropped on Ushakov and Dmitriev’ and can’t help but chuckle to myself.
All these deliberations about whether it was the NSA or GCHQ are based on the assumption that Ushakov had to use a secure means of communication. Had to… because why exactly?
Because politicians are renowned for their unwavering commitment to adhering to rules, including #OPSEC? But they are not.
Let us recall the US and European leaders who, in #Ukraine Kyiv in 2013, happily chatted on the phone and were recorded (‘Nuland–Pyatt call’).
Shortly afterwards, Sergei Glazyev from the #Russia presidential administration did the same and was recorded… by the new SBU (‘Glazyev tapes’, much less well-known but much more devastating).
In summary, if one can generalise the concept of high-level politics in #infosec matters, it is that those in power do not apply the rules to themselves and do not learn from their mistakes precisely because they are in power.
In short, Hanlon’s razor applies.

"This analogy is not a stretch. It is exactly what is happening now, as described in a recent explosive Wall Street Journal exposé that documents exactly how much Russia is dangling the prospect of riches to friends of Donald Trump Jr. and other connected Americans in exchange for a dishonorable peace that sells out Ukraine, our European allies and the vast majority of Americans who oppose Vladimir Putin’s genocidal war."
"Dmitriev was pushing a plan for U.S. companies to tap the roughly $300 billion of Russian central bank assets, frozen in Europe, for U.S.-Russian investment projects and a U.S.-led reconstruction of Ukraine. U.S. and Russian companies could join to exploit the vast mineral wealth in the Arctic. There were no limits to what two longtime adversaries could achieve, Dmitriev had argued for months: Their rival space industries, which raced one another during the Cold War, could even pursue a joint mission to Mars with Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
For the Kremlin, the Miami talks were the culmination of a strategy, hatched before Trump’s inauguration, to bypass the traditional U.S. national security apparatus and convince the administration to view Russia not as a military threat but as a land of bountiful opportunity, according to Western security officials. By dangling multibillion-dollar rare-earth and energy deals, Moscow could reshape the economic map of Europe—while driving a wedge between America and its traditional allies.
Dmitriev, a Goldman Sachs alumnus, had found receptive partners in Witkoff—Trump’s longtime golfing partner—and Kushner, whose investment fund, Affinity Partners, drew billion-dollar investments from the Arab monarchies whose conflict with Israel he had helped mediate.
(...)
“Russia has so many vast resources, vast expanses of land,” Witkoff told (...) describing at length his hopes that Russia, Ukraine and America would all become business partners. “If we do all that, and everybody’s prospering and they’re all a part of it, and there’s upside for everybody, that’s going to naturally be a bulwark against future conflicts there. Because everybody’s thriving.”
When a version of the 28-point plan leaked earlier this month, it drew immediate protests. Leaders in Europe and Ukraine complained it reflected mostly Russian talking points and bulldozed through nearly all of Kyiv’s red lines."

22 NOVEMBER 2025
Joint Statement by the Leaders of the Nordic-Baltic Eight
We - the leaders of the Nordic-Baltic Eight - spoke with President Zelenskyy today. We have from the outset of Russia's war of aggression stood by Ukraine's side and we will continue to do so. Our resolve comes from the fact that we know that this is not only about Ukrainian security, it is also about the wider security of Europe.
Ukraine has continuously shown that it is serious about peace. We commend President Zelenskyy for his efforts to steer Ukraine through these very challenging times. Ukraine remains ready to negotiate and, as stated by President Zelenskyy, is working on the document prepared by the US. Russia has so far not committed to a ceasefire or any steps leading to peace. Instead, Russia continues its brutal attacks against Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure.
Solutions that respect Ukraine's sovereignty and that will bring Ukraine and Europe greater security and stability have our full support.
We will continue to arm Ukraine and strengthen Europe's defence to deter further Russian aggression. As long as Russia continues its war against Ukraine, we will also support strengthening sanctions and wider economic measures.
Finally, to the Ukrainian people: Your resolve, determination and courage has been truly admirable from the outset of the war. We want you to know that you are not alone and can count on our support.
Here’s what The Counteroffensive is reading today:
#Rubio told U.S. officials that the 28-point plan was from #Russia, not the U.S., Politico reports.

Ahead of #Zelensky meeting, #Trump signals he might not be ready to send Kyiv Tomahawk missiles
Trump is set to host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for talks at the White House on Friday, with the #US leader signaling he’s not ready to agree to sell Kyiv a long-range missile system that the Ukrainians say they desperately need.
Zelensky gets his one-on-one with Trump a day after Trump & #Russia President #Putin held a lengthy phone call to discuss the conflict.
https://apnews.com/article/trump-zelenskyy-putin-ukraine-tomahawks-ce697e5eda6ce9793b4343499d105a8c
In recent days, #Trump had shown an openness to selling #Ukraine long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles, even as #Putin warned that such a move would further strain the #US – #Russia relationship.
But following Thursday’s call with Putin, Trump appeared to downplay the prospects of Ukraine getting the missiles, which have a range of about 995 miles.
“We need Tomahawks for the United States of America too,” Trump said. “We have a lot of them, but we need them. I mean we can’t deplete our country.”
#Trump says he'll meet with #Putin in #Hungary. He first meets Friday with #Zelensky at the White House
Trump said Thursday he will meet again with #Russia’s Vladimir Putin in an effort to end the war in #Ukraine. A date has not been set, but Trump wrote on social media that the meeting would take place in Budapest, Hungary.
“I believe great progress was made with today’s telephone conversation,” Trump wrote after talking to Putin.

#Russia started deploying a new attack tactics on #Ukraine military units - in #Mikolaiv unknown perpetrators offered a woman with a child large amount of money for “delivering a package to soldiers”.
She was expected to leave the package to soldiers and then leave, confirming delivery by messaging an agreed number. When she only approached the soldiers the package exploded, killing herself and three soldiers from mine disposal unit. The bomb was of course remotely controlled and the woman was from the beginning planned to be killed. She left a young child in a hotel where she stayed.
If that scenario sounds a bit familiar it’s because it is, that’s precisely one of the methods ISIS employed.
