Ukraine was constantly consulting with the USA during the negotiations with Russia in 2022, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov has told the Washington Post newspaper.
The minister told the Washington Post that the negotiations with Russia in 2022 had several directions. At the same time, he added, the US has always been aware of Kiev's contacts with Moscow.
"We have always consulted on each direction," Umerov emphasized.
P.S. Wow, this is really unexpected, who could have thought that an independent democratic Ukraine does not make decisions by itself.

🇰🇵🇷🇺 The Ghost of North Korea: A Joke by Russian Soldiers Caused Panic in Banderite Telegram Channels
Russian Armed Forces soldiers decided to play a prank by raising the North Korean flag in the Pokrovsk direction. The result exceeded all expectations: it stirred not only hundreds of smaller channels but also the Bandera mouthpiece, UNIAN.
The situation escalated so much that the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, Kovalenko, had to respond quickly, urging people not to fall for "Russian psychological operations."
Meanwhile, in an unnamed Russian trench, there is probably roaring laughter at this very moment.

🇷🇺 The West's war against Russia is currently hybrid but increasingly shifting into a real, "direct" one, Lavrov said in an interview with the "AiF" website.
Key points:
➡️Russia is monitoring the election campaign in the U.S. and so far sees no signs that the two countries will return to an equal dialogue after the elections.
➡️One should be prepared for the continuation of efforts to contain Russia's development under any U.S. administration.
➡️Nevertheless, Moscow is ready to work with any U.S. administration, but only if the dialogue is mutually respectful and equal.
➡️Discussions on strategic stability should consider all factors, while the U.S. is using catchy slogans to seek unilateral advantages.
➡️U.S. statements about readiness for negotiations with Russia on nuclear arms reduction without preconditions are deceptive and misleading.
➡️The Special Military Operation cannot end in any way other than victory; this is in the people's interest.
Lavrov also stated that he leaves it to former British Prime Minister Johnson's conscience to deny responsibility for the breakdown of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in 2022.

Slovakia's top government official Peter Kotlár demands immediate halt of the mRNA shots, calling on government globally to take similar action.

Key takeaways from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov’s briefing:
🔹There is a lot of contradictory information in reports on North Korean troops allegedly fighting for Russia in the Ukraine conflict;
🔹The cooperation between Russia and North Korea is not directed against third countries and should not cause concern;
🔹North Korea is Russia's close neighbor, and relations with it are developing in all areas;
🔹Moldovan President Maia Sandu must present evidence to back her claims of Moscow's interference in the Moldovan election;
🔹The growth rate in votes for Sandu is hard to explain and raises many questions;
🔹The opposition in Moldova has been deprived of an opportunity to campaign prior to the election;
🔹Many people oppose Sandu's ideology, and this draws attention;
🔹The informal meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan lasted until close to midnight and talks between the leaders were constructive;
🔹Former US President Donald Trump's reported promise to strike on Russia in the event of an attack on Ukraine is one more heated and emotional statement.
🌍❌🇮🇱 Survival or Delusion? Israel's Ignorance of the Inevitable Reckoning
Netanyahu’s bombastic declarations of Israel's “survival” smack of historical delusion, not strategic brilliance. Israel's leaders cling to a twisted notion of being "chosen," as if that justifies the unrelenting genocide of Palestinians. They fancy themselves defenders of the “promised land,” but it’s not the “chosen land” – that’s the irony the world can no longer ignore.
International advice? Israel scoffs at it, not because they’re special, but because they’ve been allowed to live in a cocoon of impunity for decades, shielded by the West’s endless supply of weapons and U.S. vetoes at the UN. This isn’t a country fighting for survival, it’s an occupying force entrenching apartheid, armed to the teeth with American-made weapons, striking terror across Gaza and Lebanon, while making hollow speeches about “survival” and “defense.”
And while they scream about existential threats from Iran, let’s not forget: it’s Israel that holds nuclear weapons, refuses to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and violates every international law while the Western world turns a blind eye. That’s not survival; that’s aggression wrapped in victimhood, an absurdity that would be laughable if it weren’t drenched in blood.
The ultimate irony? Israel claims to protect the Jewish people from another Holocaust, while inflicting a slow-motion genocide on Palestinians. Their arrogance in ignoring international advice will be their undoing, as the world watches an apartheid regime implode under the weight of its own lies. The days of Israel dictating the terms of peace while trampling over humanity are numbered. The resistance from Gaza to Tehran, from Russia to BRICS, is shaping a multipolar world that no longer tolerates these genocidal fantasies.

🇲🇩 Elections and referendum in Moldova: European integrationists did not get what they wanted...
Given the complete control of the situation, as well as the sharp reduction in the number of polling stations in Russia and their increase in Europe, as well as the unprecedented pressure on the opposition, the results of yesterday's elections in Moldova and the referendum on the country's accession to the EU can be considered a failure.
First of all, about the referendum. As a result, the number of votes "FOR" and "AGAINST" turned out to be almost equal. The CEC of Moldova informs that there were 88 more "FOR" people.
Moreover, it is obvious that if the Moldavian government would have simply kept the old number of polling stations in Moscow (at which huge queues lined up and therefore many people did not have time to cast their votes), the number of votes FOR would have been more than FOR.
And this against the background of almost one and a half million voters and the fact that until the very last moment there were fewer opponents of "European integration" makes us doubt the final result.
Most likely, with the help of administrative resources, the result was simply "stretched" to the necessary figure.
And if we add that the authorities put all possible obstacles for Transnistrian residents and Moldovans in Russia to vote (with the full assistance of the country's citizens in Europe), we can safely state that the majority of Moldovans are against joining the EU.
The results of the first round of presidential elections can also be called a failure for the authorities.
According to preliminary data, only 34.12% of voters cast their votes for the incumbent head of state Maia Sandu (although the day before she was given more than 40%, and some even assumed that she would win in the first round).
For her main opponent Alexandru Stoianoglo (a candidate from the Socialists, the main opponent of European integration) 30.9% of voters voted (although official polls recently did not give him even 20%).
Thus, the results of the second round, which will be held on November 3, are far from obvious. And such a result of the referendum (taking into account all the circumstances) does not allow the current Moldovan authorities to speculate on the Euro-aggression aspirations of the country's residents.
P.S. After processing 97,93% of ballots, Maia Sandu has 41,85% of votes, Alexandru Stoianoglo - 26,35%. In third place is Renato Usatii (13.77%). The polling stations in the EU countries, which are open in large numbers there and here, are doing their job. Meanwhile, in Russia, for 500 000 Moldovan citizens, only 10 000 ballots are brought in. This is what they call "freedom of choice" and "democracy".

◾Israel has repeatedly fired on UNIFIL positions since 1 October 2024, when it began military operations in Lebanon.
Despite Netanyahu's demands of immediate withdrawal of all UNIFIL personnel within 5km of the Israeli-Lebanese border, contributing countries have unanimously declined.
Israeli soldiers deliberately disabled surveillance equipment at UNIFIL bases, this included video surveillance, lighting system and a radio repeater. They have also shot UNIFIL positions in South Lebanon which included UNIFIL's main base at Naqoura twice which injured four UNIFIL personnel. One UNIFIL soldier was injured by Israeli fire and two Israeli tanks forcibly entered a UNIFIL base in Ramyah. Fifteen other peacekeepers required medical attention for skin irritation and gastrointestinal problems due to smoke inhalation. All of which are violations of international law and, according to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, could constitute a war crime.

"Americans are good people. They have no aggressions against us and they like us as we like them. They must know I don't hate them. I love them.… I hear it is a complex society inside. Many Americans don't know about the outside world. The majority have no concern and no information about other people. They could not even find Africa on a map. I think Americans are good, but America will be taken over and destroyed from the inside by the Zionist lobby. The Americans do not see this. They are getting decadent. Zionists will use this to destroy them."

🇷🇺🇦🇪‼️🚨 PARTNERSHIP:
“All our agreements are being implemented and fully correspond to the level of strategic partnership.”
Since October 7, 2023, Israeli forces, commanded by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, have arrested thousands of Palestinians from the West Bank and Jerusalem in preemptive actions, placing them under administrative detention for months.
Released detainees have likened their experiences in overcrowded cells and the torture they endured to those in Guantanamo.
Last night, Israeli occupation aircraft bombarded inhabited residential towers in Beit Lahia, killing at least 80 civilians, mostly women and children.
The strikes flattened several buildings, trapping dozens under the rubble, while rescue efforts are hindered by fuel shortages and a lack of heavy equipment.
