Agustín Antonetti stated that France had announced a curfew in several cities and that the Prime Minister was considering declaring a national state of emergency. He maintained that the Ministry of the Interior had been studying this possibility for some time and that the violent protests would play a key role; he added that many would be coordinated with the Muslim Brotherhood, which he linked to 207 specific mosques. Antonetti claimed that France could be the first state to fall, along with the United Kingdom, which he described as weak and anti-Western, and argued that control of the country had been taken without resorting to violence. #Francia #ToqueDeQueda #Protestas (translated)

Little Think Tank wrote that he was exhausted by contradictory accusations. He indicated that, according to some factions, some suspected him of being funded by left-wing relatives or directly by the Macron government. He predicted that both supporters of Russia and Ukraine would then accuse him of being financed by the FSB or the SBU and of being anti-Western. He also anticipated opposing criticisms after the release of a video showing, according to him, a massacre of Palestinians committed by the Israeli army in Gaza: some would label him pro-Hamas, while others would accuse him of concealing murders committed by the IDF. Finally, he mentioned future accusations of being in the pay of NATO while being anti-European, then close to Donald Trump and anti-American. #politique #désinformation #Médias (translated)

Marco M.M. has predicted an increase in cloudiness and instability in the coming hours over the western areas of the Peninsula, attributing it to a large cold drop over Western Europe. He indicated possible scattered rains in the Northwest, along the Tuscan coasts, locally in Sardinia and in Upper Lazio. For the period between Tuesday the 20th and Thursday the 22nd, he has forecast the arrival of a more intense Atlantic disturbance, with a drop in temperatures of 4-6 °C in the Center-North and 2-4 °C in the Center-South. According to Marco M.M., the first snow could fall in the central-eastern Alps above 1,500 meters. He announced that he would provide further insight into the evolution the following day, assessing whether it was a lasting atmospheric change or an isolated episode. #meteo #neve #perturbazione (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca stated that Ukraine launched a massive long-range drone attack against St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region overnight. According to his post, the impacts hit a oil terminal and the main data center of VKontakte, as well as causing fires in several districts. He added that regional authorities reported the downing of dozens of drones and that restrictions at Pulkovo Airport delayed or canceled at least 46 flights. Montes de Oca noted that the terminal had an annual capacity of about 12.5 million tons and was an important point for transporting fuels via the Baltic and supplying the Russian fleet that exported crude oil. Although, according to him, the damage only affected part of the facilities, he stated that the fire in tanks and pumping systems temporarily suspended 100% of loading operations. He estimated that repairs would reduce Russian logistical capacity to export diesel by 15% to 20% for several weeks. Regarding VKontakte, which according to Montes de Oca had over 95 million active monthly users, the author stated that the data center provided communication, video, and access to public platforms, and was also integrated into state systems for education, health, and e-government. He added that NetBlocks recorded a drop in platform traffic to 56% of its normal level, about 44% less. In his analysis, the attack added to previous ones against Yandex data centers in Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladímir, and could affect digital and state services. Montes de Oca indicated that the Ruchyi depot could store 114,000 cubic meters of fuel and supplied heavy and rail transport of the Leningrad Military District. He also stated that the Baltic ports supported Russian exports of crude and its derivatives. According to his post, Russia aimed to export between 3 and 3.5 million tons of diesel per month by the end of 2026, more than 10% of the global market, and damage to terminals and refineries would limit its income and export capacity. The author said that the offensive weakened the energy truce driven by Donald Trump and that Kiev had warned it would respond if Russia continued attacking Ukrainian infrastructure. He added that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had confirmed that Starshield was not operating in Ukraine nor had it been enabled to guide Ukrainian drones over Russian territory, so, according to Montes de Oca, it was not used in the attack. #Ucrania #SanPetersburgo #GuerraUcrania (translated)

Regarding the interception of Shahed drones with jet engines, we are using aviation with great success. Currently, we have an increasing stock of ammunition for F-16 aircraft with 20 mm projectiles. Both I and the Ministry of Defense have made agreements. At this moment we are receiving an adequate amount, which is very good. This means that we currently have this. President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that combat aviation, mainly multifunctional F-16 fighter jets supplied by the West, accounts for between 55 and 60 percent of the interceptions of Russian Shahed jet-engine attack drones, as Ukraine increases its stock of 20 mm ammunition, writes Kyiv Post. #Zelenski #drone #F16 (translated)
