Russian police have detained opposition politician Boris Nadezhdin, who in 2024 tried to run against Vladimir Putin in the presidential election. At the time, the authorities did not allow him onto the ballot. The new case adds to the picture of growing pressure on opponents of the war and on public criticism in Russia. seznamzpravy.cz ↗

At the same time, following Ukrainian strikes on refineries and energy infrastructure, Russia is covering approximately 65 percent of average seasonal gasoline consumption. The crisis has spread to several regions, where authorities are urging residents to limit car trips and recommending more frequent online meetings. New reports also speak of mass complaints from ordinary citizens about gasoline shortages, internet outages, and high prices. ta3.com ↗

According to several accounts, the Kremlin is not preparing for peace concessions. Vladimir Putin wants to continue the war, and further escalation is rather expected. Meanwhile, Ukraine is attacking the Russian oil sector, tankers, and cargo ships of the so-called shadow fleet, in an effort to increase pressure on Moscow before winter. Beijing, according to a statement by Volodymyr Zelensky, has also warned Moscow against the use of nuclear weapons. lidovky.cz ↗

The pressure on the Russian leadership is also manifesting itself politically. Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna claims that Putin is under great pressure and that the West's strategy is producing results. Further developments will show whether the combination of the fuel crisis, Ukrainian attacks, internal complaints, and repression against the opposition will limit the Kremlin's ability to continue its current strategy. forum24.cz ↗
