Ukraine's Security Service and Unmanned Systems Forces blow up Russian fuel trains near Luhansk
VALENTYNA ROMANENKO — 16 April, 17:47
Officers from the Main Directorate of the Security Service of Ukraine in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, together with personnel from the 1st Separate Unmanned Systems Centre of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, have destroyed Russian fuel trains near Luhansk.
Source: press service for the Security Service of Ukraine
Details: During reconnaissance operations, the security service established that Russian forces had amassed freight trains carrying fuel at railway stations near temporarily occupied Luhansk. This fuel was intended to supply Russian military equipment.
After confirming the targets and passing their coordinates to the Unmanned Systems Forces, high-precision strikes were carried out using FP-2 drones manufactured by Fire Point.

Péter Magyar says he will unblock €90 billion in EU aid to Ukraine
According to him, the decision to allocate the funds was already made at the EU summit in December — without Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia — and he sees no reason to revisit it.
Magyar also criticized Viktor Orbán for inconsistency, saying he first supported the decision and later opposed it.
At the same time, Hungary will not participate in the loan itself, citing its difficult financial situation. Instead, the focus will be on unlocking around €17 billion in EU funds currently frozen due to the previous government’s policies.
In practice, this signals a return to the EU’s common line: not blocking aid to Ukraine while avoiding additional financial commitments.

European lawmakers call for rules to flush out the Russian spies among them
April 10, 2026 3:55 pm
A group of members of the European Parliament called for the urgent implementation of reforms to expose and limit espionage activities carried out by pro-Russian colleagues in an open letter made public on April 9.
The group of MEPs, led by Lithuanian liberal Petras Austrevicius, wrote that their request was motivated by news that the Hungarian government was "deliberately sharing confidential information obtained during EU Council meetings with the Putin regime."
A journalistic investigation, just days ahead of Hungary's April 12 national election, exposed that Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijarto coordinated with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov to update him on work to stall Ukraine's bid for EU membership.

Trump urges Hungarians to vote for Orbán
Iryna Balachuk, Ulyana Krychkovska — 10 April, 12:29
US President Donald Trump has called Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán a "friend" and urged Hungarians to vote for him two days before the parliamentary elections.
Source: European Pravda, citing Trump on Truth Social
Quote: "Election Day is Sunday, April 12, 2026. Hungary: GET OUT AND VOTE FOR VIKTOR ORBÁN. He is a true friend, fighter, and WINNER, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election as Prime Minister of Hungary – VIKTOR ORBÁN WILL NEVER LET THE GREAT PEOPLE OF HUNGARY DOWN. I AM WITH HIM ALL THE WAY!"
Details: Trump described Orbán as a "truly strong and powerful leader" with a "proven track record of delivering phenomenal results".
He said Orbán "works hard to Protect Hungary, Grow the Economy, Create Jobs, Promote Trade, Stop Illegal Immigration, and Ensure LAW AND ORDER!"
"Relations between Hungary and the United States have reached new heights of cooperation and spectacular achievement under my Administration, thanks largely to Prime Minister Orbán. I look forward to continuing working closely with him so that both of our Countries can further advance this tremendous path to SUCCESS and cooperation," Trump added, noting that he also supported Orbán in 2022.
Background:
Earlier reports indicated that a significant share of Hungarian voters fear election fraud and foreign interference.
Recent polls ahead of the parliamentary elections show that the opposition Tisza party led by Péter Magyar is ahead of Orbán's Fidesz by 9, 11 and 13 percentage points across different categories.
Orbán, in turn, has urged voters to support his Fidesz party and claimed that his opponents will stop at nothing to seize power.

Trump joins pro-Orbán rally by phone: "I love Hungary and I love that Viktor"
Iryna Kutielieva, Oleksandr Shumilin — 7 April, 20:48
US President Donald Trump offered his strongest endorsement yet to Viktor Orbán during a phone call at an election rally in Budapest.
Source: European Pravda citing Euractiv, an independent European media network; The Wall Street Journal
Details: US Vice President JD Vance, who is in Hungary to campaign for Orbán, rang Trump immediately after Orbán welcomed him on stage at a rally of supporters of the Fidesz party.
At first, Trump's phone sent Vance to voicemail, nearly creating an awkward moment on stage.
"I'm sorry, the person you are trying to reach has a voicemail box that has not been set up yet," a recorded female voice said in response to Vance's first attempt, prompting him to smile and try again.
When Trump picked up, he did not sound ready to speak and asked Vance to "give me a second", but the loud cheers of the Hungarian crowd seemed to make him change his mind.
"I'm a big fan of Viktor, I'm with him all the way, the United States is with him all the way," Trump said, lavishing praise on Orbán.
Speaking to the crowd through Vance's mobile phone, Trump said: "I love Hungary and I love that Viktor."
Background:
Vance also said he travelled to Budapest because the "interference from Brussels" in Hungary's elections was outrageous.
He also praised Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's position on the Russo-Ukrainian war.

Oil exports from Russia’s terminal in Novorossiysk suspended after UAV attack – Reuters
Tetyana Oliynyk — 7 April, 21:21
Loading of crude oil at Russia's Sheskharis terminal in the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk has been suspended after a large-scale drone attack and fire.
Source: Reuters citing two informed sources
Details: The sources said the port has yet to estimate the extent of the damage. A previous attack on the Sheskharis terminal in early March led to loading being suspended for five days.
The terminal normally loads 700,000 barrels of crude a day. It is the main outlet for Russian oil exports on the Black Sea.
The shutdown will put additional strain on Russian infrastructure, which has repeatedly come under attack.
Reuters sources also said oil exports from Russia's main Baltic port of Ust-Luga has been suspended since last week after large-scale drone strikes and fires

If tweet fails to load, click here. A Z-propagandist admits that the Starlink shutdown within Russia has indeed caused serious problems on the front lines. Despite the availability of Russian terminals, the "Spirit-030" has failed to solve the issue, as this analogue operates on high orbits, causing significant signal delay. The propagandist explicitly acknowledges that Russian systems are more easily suppressed by EW and adds that the Russian Federation now finds itself in a "catch-up" position.
