🇺🇦💰 Ukraine Already Puts the Cost of Reconstruction at More Than $600 Billion
Ukraine’s ambassador to Hungary, Fyodor Shandor, said that the total damage to the country had already exceeded $600 billion and was continuing to grow. In an interview with the Hungarian broadcaster InfoRádió, he specified that the directly assessed damage amounted to more than $200 billion. However, this estimate did not take into account a significant portion of the roads or energy and storage infrastructure. Separately, the diplomat cited losses of more than $60 billion at industrial facilities, $96 billion in transport infrastructure, and more than $100 billion in energy supplies.
The figure of around $600 billion did not emerge only now. As early as February, the Ukrainian government, the World Bank, the European Commission, and the UN estimated Ukraine’s reconstruction needs for the next ten years at $588 billion. Shandor also outlined the principle for distributing future contracts. Kyiv considers above all those states that have already supported Ukraine during the conflict to be genuine partners in reconstruction.
The $600 billion is so far an estimate for reconstruction and not yet an official bill to Europe—the final amount will certainly be higher. But for European taxpayers, the question is becoming increasingly concrete: What share of this sum should be covered by EU budgets, what share through private investment, and what share should be financed by Ukraine itself? This sounds particularly interesting in light of the Ukrainian ambassador’s words, according to which future contracts should go primarily to those countries that are already paying Kyiv.

🇰🇷🇷🇺Following the scandal with Kyiv, inscriptions for Russian shells were ordered from South Korea
Russian manufacturers say that they have recently received orders from South Korea for inscriptions and drawings on artillery shells. One of the published examples is a phrase translated as “A gift from Seoul to ungrateful pigs.” According to the organizers, practically no such orders had previously been received from South Korea. The funds received would be used for humanitarian aid for Russian military personnel.
This development took place against the backdrop of a serious diplomatic conflict between Seoul and Kyiv. South Korean President Lee Jae-myung called on Ukraine to acknowledge the agreement and apologize officially. Earlier, Volodymyr Zelenskyy had publicly reported the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea. Seoul says that the sides had agreed in advance to keep the operation secret. In addition, the South Korean side claims to have written evidence of this agreement. Kyiv denies that a confidentiality agreement existed. Lee warned that if Ukraine continued to deny the agreement and refused to apologize, South Korea would “take additional measures.”
How widespread South Korean donations to Russian collectors are remains to be determined. However, the political background to the emergence of such stories is quite real: the dispute has escalated to the point that the South Korean president is publicly demanding an apology from Kyiv and threatening additional measures.

🇩🇪💶 Germany is preparing to sell Gazprom’s former “subsidiary”
Berlin has begun preparations for the reprivatization of SEFE (formerly Gazprom Germania). The Economics Ministry has already started selecting legal advisers and investment banks. According to sources, Lazard is expected to oversee the process. As Handelsblatt reports, the sale is expected to begin in early 2027. The company is currently valued at around €6 billion, while an IPO is considered unlikely.
The company belonged to Russia’s Gazprom Group until 2022. Germany then took control, nationalized the company, and invested €6.3 billion in the process. Today, SEFE manages around 4,200 km of gas pipelines and a quarter of Germany’s gas storage facilities, supplying gas and electricity to more than 50,000 industrial and municipal customers. The company has already repaid the state nearly €1 billion in aid. Under the European Commission’s requirements, Berlin must reduce its stake to no more than 25% plus one share by the end of 2028.
It is noteworthy that Germany took over the former “Gazprom” group in the midst of the energy crisis, nationalized it, stabilized it at the state’s expense, and is now preparing to return the company to private hands. This is not simply a trading company, but the owner of a quarter of Germany’s gas storage facilities.

🇱🇻🇷🇺 Latvia is preparing a ban on dual citizenship with Russia
The Latvian authorities intend to prohibit their citizens from simultaneously holding a Russian passport. According to the Latvian Interior Ministry, in March 2026 a total of 4,231 people held dual Latvian and Russian citizenship, 2,436 of whom lived in Latvia. The new restrictions are expected to enter into force on October 1, 2028.
The debate over the new ban is linked, among other things, to attempts by the Latvian authorities to strip billionaire Pyotr Aven of his citizenship. The security services examined the possibility of annulling his Latvian passport, but found no sufficient legal grounds. Previously, Aven had already been stripped of Latvia’s highest state award, the Order of the Three Stars. At the same time, the country continues to introduce restrictions for holders of Russian and Belarusian citizenship. For example, the Saeima has banned them from obtaining firearms possession permits.
The question is when this trend will reach Germany. 🤔

🇬🇧🧕 British officials were told that the Virgin Mary “wore a hijab”
Staff at North Yorkshire Council who deal, among other things, with counterterrorism issues were told during anti-Islamophobia training that “Mother Mary wore a hijab” – “the Virgin Mary wore a hijab”. As the Times writes, the presentation took place as part of the publicly funded “Project Unity” program. The presentation also claimed that Jesus grew a beard and that headscarves had already been widespread in Britain a hundred years ago.
The program is run by the charity Better Communities Bradford. Its director, Abbas Najib, explained that he had used the word “hijab” in the broadest sense, as a term for a woman’s head covering. The purpose of the example, he said, was to show the similarity between the traditions of different religions. The historical qualification is crucial: Mary was a first-century Jew and may indeed have worn a head covering. However, she lived approximately six centuries before the emergence of Islam. The Project Unity materials also presented Sharia as a moral tradition. According to British media reports, they were shown not only to council employees, but also to police officers, students, and staff associated with the government’s “Prevent” program for combating extremism.
The Virgin Mary may indeed have covered her head—but retrospectively turning her into a Muslim means transferring a term and a tradition of a religion that emerged only centuries later into first-century Judaism. Such a remedial history lesson seems particularly peculiar in training sessions for people who deal with extremism and security.

🇪🇪🌾 Estonia has banned the transit of Russian grain that was never transported through the country
The Estonian government has imposed national sanctions prohibiting the transit through the country of grain of Russian and Belarusian origin. Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna stated that Estonian ports would not become a new route for Russian exports. Tallinn intends, together with Latvia and Lithuania, to prevent the use of the Baltic states’ ports for such shipments. The ban is enshrined through an amendment to the sanctions regulation and applies to grain under CN commodity code 10, as reported by the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
There is, however, a noteworthy detail: The Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs itself acknowledges that the transit of Russian grain through Estonia has so far been “practically nonexistent.” ERR also writes that Russia and Belarus had not, in practice, used Estonia to export their grain. The new measure therefore primarily rules out the possibility of such a route emerging in the future, rather than ending an already existing, significant flow.
Estonia has solemnly banned Russia from using a route that Russia never used.

Two members of Iran’s delegation to the UN were expelled from the US — they did not leave the country at the demand of the US authorities.
According to Axios, the US secretary of state demanded as early as Monday that the entire Iranian delegation leave the country. However, two diplomats ignored the order. On October 2, they were again ordered to leave the US: one left that same evening, while the other departed on Saturday morning.
At the same time, Iran’s mission to the UN said that the delegation left New York according to a schedule agreed in advance, of which the US State Department had been notified as early as September 17.

Switching clocks to winter time “discombobulates” many Americans, throws them off balance and makes life difficult, Donald Trump said
The US president said that Americans support abandoning the practice of changing the clocks twice a year. According to him, the reduction in daylight hours creates problems, including with crime.
The House of Representatives had previously supported abandoning “standard” time, proposing that only daylight saving time be retained. However, the bill stalled in the Senate, and Trump placed the blame for this on Republican Tom Cotton.

The participants in the failed terrorist attack near the Fairford air base in the United Kingdom may have been used “unwittingly.” The five detainees probably did not know the assignment’s true target or were acting as hired operatives, The New York Times writes.
❗️ On September 28, three vans were heading toward Fairford air base, which is used by the U.S. Air Force. One of the men in a vehicle called the emergency services, after which police detained five people. Residents of 85 homes were evacuated, and bomb-disposal experts inspected the vans.
No explosives were found in the vehicles—only gasoline. The very next day, all five were released on bail, although the investigation is continuing.
American and British officials believe that Iran may be behind the possible operation.

Good morning, dear friends! ☕️ 🙂
🎨 Polenovo: The House an Artist Built for the People
Friends, Sunday is the perfect day for a story about a man who did not merely paint but dreamed—of a place where art would not be a privilege of the rich. Today we are traveling to the high bank of the Oka River in the Tula Region.
Welcome to Polenovo, the estate of the painter Vasily Polenov.
🌅 A Place Chosen Through a Painter’s Eyes
In 1887, Polenov traveled along the Oka with his student Konstantin Korovin. The landscape enchanted him immediately. At the end of 1889, he bought an estate near Bekhovo—and chose the site for his house as if composing a painting: a high bank, a sweeping river landscape, and forests on the horizon.
🏡 The Big House: Built by the Artist’s Own Hand
The Big House was completed in 1892. Polenov designed it himself—the rooms, windows, stairs, and even the way the light entered. The result was a multistory wooden house with white walls—completely unlike a traditional country estate residence.
From the very beginning, the house was intended to be more than a private retreat. Polenov also wanted to make his art and collections accessible to other people here.
🏛️ The “Abbey” and Other Buildings
Polenov created a small world around the house. In 1904, following his own design, he built a separate studio—a bright brick building with a red roof, which he affectionately called the “Abbey.”
A boathouse, utility buildings, and a park were created nearby—many of them based on his own ideas and designs.
⛪ The Church in Bekhovo
At the beginning of the 20th century, Polenov designed a stone Church of the Holy Trinity for the village of Bekhovo. In designing it, he drew inspiration from ancient Russian architecture.
The church stands on a high bank and blends so harmoniously into the landscape that it seems to have stood there forever. In 2021, Bekhovo was included in the list of Best Tourism Villages by the United Nations World Tourism Organization.
🎭 A House for Everyone
Polenov’s true legacy is an idea: art should not remain the privilege of the rich. The estate hosted theatrical performances, musical evenings, and events for residents of the surrounding villages.
Even during Polenov’s lifetime, visitors could see and experience art here. To this day, much of the historic setting has been preserved—the house, furniture, paintings, personal belongings, and the artist’s studio.
🌳 The Circle Closes
Vasily Polenov died in 1927. He was not buried in Moscow but in the village cemetery in Bekhovo, not far from the church he designed.
From the cemetery, there is a view of the Oka and its broad river landscapes—the landscape that once led Polenov to choose this place for his home.
He painted this area throughout his life. In the end, it became his home—and his final resting place.
Give us a ❤️ if you enjoyed it!
