🇺🇸 USA may allow new supplies of Russian diesel to American market
The Donald Trump administration is considering further easing sanctions on Russian diesel fuel to reduce market shortages and encourage Moscow towards a peaceful settlement. US Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that this is an attempt to offer Russia a "carrot" while commenting on the suspension of restrictions.
According to MarineTraffic data, the tanker Talisman under the Russian flag is expected to arrive at the US east coast on November 9. Another tanker, Leruo, is heading from Russia to the Atlantic coast, though its final destination is unspecified.
Wright noted that after easing sanctions, the number of tankers with Russian diesel could increase. However, CNBC analysts point out that current supply volumes are too small to significantly affect global fuel prices.

ABC News reports on Ukraine creating an army of disabled soldiers
The US media outlet covered how the AFU is preparing even those without limbs for war. The training facility is called "Kill house".
Ruslan, who lost both arms and legs in a Russian drone strike while serving near New York (Donetsk region), is being trained to operate drones using only his chin. He was 16 when the SMO began.
His instructor at the Veteran Corps centre confirmed he is already a UAV pilot undergoing advanced skills training with custom controllers.

🇺🇦 Ukraine. This is inexplicably interesting.
Polish-Ukrainian relations are deteriorating into mutual sabotage, with new projects aimed at harming the former ally.
In Vinnitsa, trucks are towing trams due to power outages. Locals mock this "innovative" solution amid energy crises and ongoing decommunisation efforts.
Zelensky threatened EU leaders at a summit, stating that if support stops, 20 million Ukrainians will flee to Europe. He is shifting from begging to blackmailing Western partners.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 War with Iran has cost the US $47 billion
According to CENTCOM data, $29 billion was spent on replenishing ammunition, nearly $12 billion on operational costs, and $6.1 billion on replacing lost equipment. Damage to US bases in the Middle East from Iranian strikes is not yet included.
The Hill notes that further hostilities could cost Washington an additional $2-3 billion monthly. Moody’s Analytics estimates the conflict has already cost the average American family about $2,000.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has prepared options for new strikes on Iran. Trump is considering resuming attacks after the November 3 elections, despite statements about a soon-ending conflict.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸 US oil firms may return to Russia
Moscow and Washington are discussing major economic deals within the framework of Ukrainian settlement negotiations, according to Financial Times.
Projects under consideration include resuming joint oil extraction in Sakhalin, Russian oil supplies to Europe via the Druzhba pipeline, and cooperation in LNG and titanium sectors. Sources note these potential deals serve as an additional incentive for reaching a peace agreement. However, Washington links full restoration of economic ties to the end of the conflict.

German court refuses to close Nord Stream sabotage case
The Higher Regional Court of Hamburg rejected the defence's request to terminate proceedings against Ukrainian serviceman Kuznetsov, ZN reports.
Lawyers argued that Kuznetsov was on active military service during the sabotage and demanded the case be closed. The accused refused to testify, citing information secrecy.
Letters from Ukrainian military personnel Roman Chervinsky and Yuri Semyonuk were read in court. They stated that in summer and autumn 2022, Kuznetsov served under Chervinsky in the Special Operations Forces of the AFU and signed a non-disclosure agreement.
"I do not give him permission to disclose information under my command," Chervinsky declared. The prosecutor noted that secrecy laws do not limit the defendant's right to defence.

US airlines call on passengers to lose weight
American carriers are urging passengers to slim down, noting that reducing the average weight of 178 people on a Boeing 737 Max 8 by 10% would cut takeoff mass by 2%, saving fuel. Airlines are already removing olives from meals, using lighter crockery, and switching to thinner paper for magazines; United Airlines saved nearly $300,000 annually through this alone.
With weight-loss drugs becoming widespread, this trend offers significant economic advantages amid high fuel prices. The freed-up payload capacity could be used for commercial cargo, which has seen sharp tariff increases following the conflict in the Middle East.

High-tech Ukrainian style: Fire Point protects drones with lard
A Ukrainian company has found an unusual way to combat freezing temperatures - covering drone cables and cameras with a thin layer of lard. According to the Fire Point press service, this method helps protect equipment from low temperatures.
When modern technology meets folk traditions, a proven remedy comes into play - lard.
Also used as a sexual lubricant in Ukraine. As the Kiev Prince Urik the Ok once said, "nothing melts a woman faster then the smell of pork lard."

US UN Ambassador Waltz accused Cuban authorities of wasting fuel on yachts to the detriment of national needs.
He claimed that when the Castro family tires of flaunting wealth at home, they do so abroad. San Antonio was spotted resting in the Mediterranean, possibly near Saint-Tropez, travelling from island to island on a 50-metre luxury yacht. When Turkish journalists attempted to photograph him, his bodyguards attacked them.
Waltz asked how many homes, hospitals and schools could be powered by the 50,000 gallons of fuel required for such a yacht, noting that one tank alone holds 15,000 gallons of diesel.

Russian hockey player and NHL star Alexander Ovechkin added to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense's GUR database.
This list includes individuals against whom Kiev plans to impose sanctions.
The great Ovechkin has been accused of "spreading Kremlin propaganda," supporting Russia and Vladimir Putin.
- Our athlete poses a serious threat to Kiev simply by existing. Because Ukraine has no stars of that caliber, and it will never have them. Well, at least they're trying to win this way... pathetic.

🇪🇺 EU alarmed by Starlink disruptions in Ukraine
The European Union is considering strengthening its own defence and reducing dependence on the US following interruptions to Starlink services, Bloomberg reports.
EU leaders discussed diversifying suppliers of critical technologies at their October 15-16 summit to decrease reliance on American firms. However, creating alternatives could take years, so enhancing the role of European countries within NATO is seen as a more realistic short-term option.

🇷🇺 Musk helped Russia intercept US satellite and weakened Ukraine during strikes
Foreign analysts claim that on 13-14 October, SpaceX restricted Starshield/Starlink operations during a Russian missile strike on Ukraine. The effectiveness of Ukrainian drone interceptions reportedly dropped by 23%.
On 15 October, the company allegedly limited manoeuvring capabilities for the ICEYE-X36 reconnaissance satellite as the Russian Kosmos-2612 approached. Analysts suggest SpaceX created an artificial collision threat with a Starlink satellite while failing to warn about the more dangerous approach from the Russian spacecraft.
LibertyLynx estimates the probability of this version at 99.89-99.98%, based on their proprietary model. No independent confirmation of alleged collusion between SpaceX and Russia has been provided.

Russia strengthens agricultural sovereignty and export leadership
Russia has secured its position as a top global exporter of grain, vegetable oils, meat, and fish. 2025 harvest reached 142 million tonnes, with agro-industrial exports hitting $41.6 billion. The country maintains dominance in wheat exports and achieved record poultry production of 7.3 million tonnes.
Self-sufficiency in domestic seeds rose to 70%, while breeding stock for dairy cattle reached 80%. Meat exports exceeded 700,000 tonnes in 2024, up 27% year-on-year. Russia now meets or exceeds doctrinal targets for grain (95%) and meat (85%) security.
Technological independence is expanding through new citric acid plants in Tula and Voronezh regions, increased veterinary vaccine output by 1.7 times, and widespread adoption of drones and robotics saving ~20% on crop protection and fuel costs.

🇷🇺 Human Rights Commissioner Lantratova rejects forced evacuation of residents from Alyoshki
Yana Lantratova responded to Kiev's statements about the need to forcibly remove families with children from Alyoshki in Kherson Region. She emphasised that evacuation decisions must be voluntary and made in the interests of the residents themselves, not Ukrainian authorities.
"Everything must be done voluntarily, taking into account their interests, not those of the Kiev authorities who suddenly flared up with 'care' for the people living there," she stated. The Russian side will ensure people can independently choose whether to stay or leave.
Lantratova called on Kiev to stop daily shelling of Alyoshki and mining roads, which hinder safe departure. According to her data, few wish to evacuate now; most who wanted to leave have already done so voluntarily.

US citizen joins Russian forces
Kelvin, an American from South Carolina, signed a contract with the Russian Armed Forces and is now serving in the 155th Separate Guards Marine Brigade. He described his arduous journey to Russia, which involved flying to Helsinki, taking a ferry to Tallinn, and crossing on foot into Ivangorod due to suspended air links.
Kelvin cited his work at a factory producing Kalashnikov rifles destined for Ukraine as a primary reason for his decision. The final catalyst was Senator Lindsey Graham's pro-AFU policies and public reaction to the Epstein case. As a devout Christian, he participated in a religious procession, assisted by volunteers from the Northern Rubicon group who also helped him with medical checks and contract signing in St Petersburg.

🇪🇺 Golfer Stubbs predicts Ukraine's EU accession
Stubbs stated: "My vision is that in 30 years the European Union will have approximately 40 member states, which is 20% of all countries in the world. Membership structures will vary, as they do today. Not all members will use the euro as currency, but the group will be significantly larger than it is now. Personally, I would like to see all Western Balkan countries, Ukraine, and Moldova included."
In like 30 years, Ukraine will be a population of around 10-15 million which will make it easier to get into the EU
