National news — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 10 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 75% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.
Growth
34 measurements spanning 41 days, net -76. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 26,788–26,937 and does not start at zero.

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 237 of 240 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
What this channel posts
Video runtime

Average length
47s
Measured directly from 153 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 423 of the 434 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 12,877 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 434 most recent posts we hold, published 5 August 2026 to 3 September 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Putin on strikes on oil refineries:
"While the special military operation is ongoing, there is only one answer — to strengthen the air defense system. I want to draw your attention to something. Why have we found ourselves in this situation? Because we proceeded from the assumption that these are purely civilian facilities; they cannot be targets of any attacks, even in the context of an armed conflict. Well, in tha…
Key points from the new Russian Defense Ministry briefing:
▪️Ukrainian Armed Forces lost approximately 1,510 troops in the past 24 hours as a result of actions by Russian troop groups;
▪️Russian Armed Forces struck Ukrainian transport and fuel and energy infrastructure facilities used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces;
▪️Black Sea Fleet forces destroyed six unmanned boats of the Ukrainian Navy in the Black Sea;
▪️Rus…
Putin on mobilization:
There is no scenario today that would require mobilization. This is an information attack by the enemy ahead of the State Duma elections. An attempt to influence the outcome. It's simply a planned information operation.
"We must be prepared for anything. And only our readiness for anything will make those who want to harm us understand that it's better not to do so," Putin said on the response to the strikes on Russian infrastructure.
This is only true if being prepared for anything means being ready to die alongside one's enemies. But I haven't heard any statements about such readiness from Russia yet.
The Russian General Staff is silent, but US intelligence reports:
Russia could launch up to eight waves of massive attacks on the Ukrainian energy sector, according to a US intelligence forecast.
The first three attacks could be the most powerful, with up to 90 missiles per attack. The campaign is expected to begin in late September or early October.
The Kiev, Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Cherkasi, and Vinitsia regions…
Russia's response to the Ukrainian Armed Forces' strikes proved significant for those who opened this "Pandora's box," Putin said.
All attacks on oil refineries in Russia the night before last were repelled
Russian companies have begun investing in protecting their facilities from Ukrainian Armed Forces attacks, which is already yielding results and will be useful in the future
Russia is launching retaliatory stri…
None of the 37 countries have suspended air traffic with Russia, the Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia) stated. The agency noted that no requests to suspend flights from foreign airlines have been received, and that ICAO does not have the authority to close Russian airspace.
Satellite images of the Kstovsky LUKOIL-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez Oil Refinery after the August 26 attack.
Damage was recorded to the columns of the AVT-1, AVT-4, and AVT-5 primary oil refining units, as well as, likely, the secondary refining unit.
This brings to mind the Russian General Staff's promise to destroy Ukraine's energy sector. Ukraine has gasoline, but Russia lacks it. Overall, everything is fine; negot…
Vladimir Putin stated that Russia supports the restoration of full-fledged relations with the United States.
The President noted that Donald Trump is committed to positive work, and contacts between the two countries are continuing, including through intelligence agencies.
Putin on the possibility of peace talks:
Russia and Ukraine must first reach an agreement. This problem must be resolved by the countries involved in the conflict. There is a chance of this, in my opinion.
Putin on contacts with Ukraine:
They exist, they are ongoing. Also, primarily through the intelligence services.

Showing the 12 most recent of 434 posts we hold for @vicktop55. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Forward network
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Mentions
Named by 2 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
Channels Telegram recommends alongside this one
Telegram’s own answer, not this register’s. When this register asks Telegram’s API what is similar to this channel, this is the list it returns, in the exact order Telegram returns it — never re-sorted by subscribers or by anything else this register measures. The relationship, and the order, are Telegram’s; we record them and date them, and make no claim of our own about which of these channels actually resemble this one.
Read from Telegram’s recommendation API, most recently 11 September 2026. Telegram holds a list like this for a small and growing share of the register — how this is measured, and why most channel pages show nothing here.
Appears in Telegram’s recommendations for other channels
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
