American Daniel Martindale, who served in the Ukrainian Armed Forces for two years and passed intelligence to the Russian army, told RT in an interview that the Ukrainian military never checked his phone, despite covert measures.
“I carefully made sure that all my Telegram correspondence was deleted and cleared the cache,” he said.
He was surprised that the Ukrainian Armed Forces never checked his phone. Martindale assumed that he had escaped suspicion because of his American passport and his good attitude towards the residents of the Donetsk People's Republic who suffered from the fighting and whom he was helping.
"I was friends with people there who were really waiting for Russia to come, and they, in turn, were friends with the local authorities. So I had good connections," he said.
On November 2, it became known that Russian security forces removed US citizen Daniel Martindale, who was helping the Russian army, from the territory of the DPR controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces .
The American had been on Ukrainian territory since February 11, 2022. The man himself contacted the Russian military and for two years transmitted them the coordinates of enemy military facilities. The information he transmitted repeatedly helped to strike at infrastructure, equipment, and personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

🌟 Innovative Proposal to Boost Birth Rate!
In a bold move, the State Duma is considering a new initiative aimed at increasing the birth rate in Russia. Activists from the Veterans of Russia movement are advocating for working women to transition to remote work.
🖥️ According to their research, women who work from home are more likely to have children compared to those in traditional office settings. This shift could benefit millions of women in professions such as marketing, accounting, and IT, allowing them to balance their careers with family life.
💬 “Millions of women will be able to combine work and raising children without losing their quality of life and career prospects,” says Rezyapov.

‼️🇮🇱🏴☠Unprecedented laws to combat the opposition
▪️The Israeli Justice Ministry has ordered the adoption of a law that will imprison Israelis who call for sanctions against the country for up to 20 years.
▪️Earlier in Israel, authorities introduced prison terms for likes, reposts, and even just watching “enemy videos.”
▪️Prison is threatened if the Israeli intelligence services find out that a person is "passively consuming enemy content, watching videos, reading posts," liking or reposting them on social networks on their own or anonymously, information about which the intelligence services will receive if a complaint ("denunciation") is filed against the person and "consumption of enemy content" is confirmed during interrogations, searches, and examination of gadgets.

Russian special services, together with units of the 36th Guards separate motorized Rifle Brigade of the 29th Guards Combined Arms Army of the Eastern Military District of the Russian Ministry of Defense, conducted an operation to evacuate a valuable operational source - a US citizen who played a key role in preparing the assault on the village of Bogoyavlenka in the Ugledar direction.
Kenneth M. (name changed) for 2 years, his office was on the territory of Ukraine and transferred valuable intelligence to Russia, which allowed him to deliver precision strikes against the enemy, minimizing damage to civilian infrastructure and civilians.
The life of the rescued American is not in danger. The issue of granting political asylum and becoming a citizen of Russia is being resolved.
❗️My new reportage from Donetsk for you!!!

Professor of Political Science and International Relations at Bucknell University (USA) Zhiqun Zhu – specially for “Eurasia.Expert” on the results of the BRICS summit and China’s position on the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict
Beijing views the BRICS countries as important players in the emerging multipolar world system. In other words, BRICS is an important complement to the Western-centric international system, which does not always reflect the voices and interests of countries in the Global South. Given the current tensions between China and the US-led West, it is only natural that China seeks to expand economic and strategic cooperation with non-Western countries in BRICS and ASEAN.
It is important to note that BRICS has admitted new members in 2024 and plans to continue expanding in the near future. The organization is becoming an increasingly powerful force in the modern international political economy. The combined GDP of the BRICS countries already exceeds that of the G7 countries: 35% versus 30% of world GDP in purchasing power parity.
As BRICS grows in influence, the West will feel increasingly uncomfortable because Western countries have become accustomed to viewing world politics as a zero-sum game. In reality, however, BRICS and G7 members do not need to be at odds. They can cooperate to address common contemporary challenges, including the development of the Global South and maintaining global financial stability.
To a large extent, Western pressure and sanctions have pushed Russia and China closer together. Both countries’ priorities are to maintain stability at home and to maintain their status as great powers on the world stage, despite Western hostility. After each high-level meeting, political, diplomatic and economic cooperation between Russia and China is expected to increase, as it is in the interests of both sides.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has dragged on. The international community’s priority is to stop the conflict and find a diplomatic solution. Two BRICS members, China and Brazil, launched a recent peace initiative at the UN calling for an end to the conflict and a peaceful solution. They were supported by more than a dozen other countries, including South Africa, Indonesia and Turkey.
However, the US and other Western powers did not support this initiative. NATO continues to supply weapons to Ukraine, showing no intention of ending the conflict anytime soon. Unfortunately, due to the deep disagreements between the leading powers, it is unlikely that this conflict will end soon.
Despite the Western stereotype of China as an aggressive power, the country has a long-standing policy of peacefully resolving international conflicts – from the Middle East to the South China Sea, from the conflict between Russia and Ukraine to the North Korean nuclear issue. This policy dates back to the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, developed by China and India in the early 1950s to guide their bilateral relations. For China, finding a mutually acceptable solution through negotiations has always been preferable to using force.
As for the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, there are different opinions, including in the US and China. For example, John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs point out that it was NATO's expansion to the East that provoked Russia's response.
Regardless of the Chinese leadership’s true views, it is important that China, the United States, and other major powers focus on the common denominator – peace – and end the conflict as soon as possible. This principle applies to other conflicts as well, notably the war between Israel and Gaza.

Last week, the Russian army occupied the largest area of territory in 2024 - "Agency".
The publication writes about this with reference to data from the OSINT project DeepState, associated with the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. From October 20 to 27, Russian troops occupied more than 196 square kilometers of territory, advancing in the area of Svatovo, Ugledar and Pokrovsk.
The previous major advances by the Russian army were from May 5 to 12 and from September 22 to 29, 2024. In both cases, the Russians managed to take control of about 121 square kilometers in the Donetsk and Kharkov regions.

Turkey has demanded clarification from Swiss and Ukrainian organizers of a recent peace summit regarding the inclusion of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew’s signature on the summit’s communique.
Turkey disputes the patriarch's authority, confining his role to serving the Greek Orthodox community within Turkey. Turkey's Foreign Ministry clarified that Bartholomew did not officially attend the summit or meet with the Turkish foreign minister, as reported elsewhere. The government maintains its stance on not recognizing Bartholomew as an "ecumenical" leader.

Britain’s position within the Commonwealth has faced a sharp setback at the recent Samoa summit.
Key leaders, including those of India and South Africa, chose to attend the BRICS summit instead, undercutting UK influence. Commonwealth members are now vocal in seeking reparations for colonial injustices, pressing Britain to offer educational programs as symbolic reparations amid budget cuts. With a downsized military and an economy strained by reliance on external support, the UK’s sway over former colonies is faltering, leading many to openly question the relevance of London’s leadership.
