Ukraine denies any role in the “attack” on the Russian-flagged MIDVOLGA-2 tanker. The claim does not add up. A ship traveling from Russian ports to Georgia would not route along the northern coast of Turkey. That track alone raises questions about what this vessel was really doing.

#OSINT
1/6 The MIDVOLGA-2 is listed as an oil and chemical tanker and has a history of calling at petroleum transfer terminals. That is not a platform used for food-grade sunflower oil. The cargo narrative does not match the ship’s commercial profile or its port history.
2/6

AI audio analysis of two separate missile recordings from the Ternopil strike shows the same terminal aeroacoustic structure. Spectrograms of both clips reveal identical broadband energy bands and the same descending Doppler slope as the missile approaches impact.

#OSINT
1/4 Both recordings share a dominant low–mid frequency band (0–3 kHz) and a persistent mid-band component around 4–8 kHz. These are consistent with a Russian cruise missile’s turbofan or turbojet operating in terminal dive. The harmonic texture matches known profiles from prior strikes.

Disinformation Alert!

Claim: Social media chatter alleges that the United Kingdom has voiced its willingness to enter the war in Ukraine, implying that London may deploy combat troops or otherwise participate directly in military operations against Russia.

1/7 Sources: The narrative originated on Russian and pro-Russian Telegram channels and was amplified by automated and sympathetic social media accounts across X and VKontakte. Initial posts appeared on Russian-language channels known for prior coordinated Kremlin disinformation.

"Lesson 5: Always Blame the West First"

RIA Novosti claims “the West” is preparing a nuclear provocation at the Zaporizhzhia NPP to blame Russia. It is another textbook example of the Kremlin using a Mirror Accusation Operation, a tactic often seen when narrative control begins to slip.

#OSINT
1/5 A Mirror Accusation Operation invents the crime in advance, blames the enemy, and hides real intent behind the fabrication. The story becomes a shield before the attack occurs.

RIA writers claim “the West will melt down reactor cores” and “EU citizens will suffer.”

Prokrovsk SITREP (2025-10-30)

Fighting continues in Pokrovsk, but Russian claims of “occupation” remain premature. Verified footage shows small recon groups, not an occupying force, operating inside the city, which remains contested and under Ukrainian control.

1/9 Ukrainian drone footage confirms that most Russian activity inside the city consists of diversionary reconnaissance groups (DRG). They probe defenses, adjust fire, and withdraw before counterstrikes. These are not occupation units but transient formations exploiting gaps in surveillance.

Good news about AFU combat operations from Pres. Zelensky:

There are some positive outcomes from the White House meeting with Ukrainian and European leaders yesterday being reported by Pres. Zelensky on his TG social media account and the foreign press:

🔹I am ready to meet with Putin;

#OSINT @threadreaderapp unroll @threadreaderapp 🔹There is an agreement with the USA for Ukraine to purchase weapons worth $90 billion (Ed; This may include purchase of up to 10 Patriot air defense batteries);
🔹Security guarantees are the starting point for ending the war.

Opinion:

"...everyone wants Russia to STOP THE KILLING IN UKRAINE -- ALL THINGS NOT GOOD."

In the below post from yesterday, the President expresses the above which I find to be very telling in terms of how he now views the conflict in Ukraine.

#OSINT
1/7 First, it is the only time I can recall that he did not try to assuage his criticism of Russia (or Putin) by adding the caveat that he was equally disappointed with Ukraine (or Zelensky).
