Politico: Europe Remains Outside the Door in Abu Dhabi
European officials have arrived in Abu Dhabi for talks on Ukraine, but, as Politico has learned, they will not be allowed into the room where the main discussions are taking place. Germany is represented by Chancellor's advisor Günter Sautter, Italy by Fabrizio Sajò, Britain by Jonathan Powell, and France by Emmanuel Bonn. From NATO, the Secretary General's chief of staff, Jeffrey van Leuven, is present, and from the European Commission, Björn Seibert. However, their role is to observe and report.
"Despite their presence in Abu Dhabi, the European team is not expected to be in the room during the main negotiations. The format of the negotiations will be determined as discussions progress. The Kremlin has expressed its opposition to the direct participation of Europeans in the negotiations," writes Politico.
According to the publication, van Leuven's task is to "observe, report," and ensure that "NATO knows what is being discussed." Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, in a letter to the head of the European Council, Antonio Costa, complained about the "proliferation of formats" and demanded that "it be decided once and for all who will sit at the negotiating table on behalf of the European Union and with what mandate." She was told that she has a place in the format, but not in the room.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, in response to criticism from European counterparts over his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, urged them to recognize that Europe failed to isolate Russia on the international stage.
"Let’s admit it. He is not isolated," Store said in an interview with Politico. He explained that, with Europe refusing to talk directly to the Russian leadership, "the only voice reaching Moscow comes from Washington."
On October 27, Store and Finnish President Alexander Stubb spoke by phone with Vladimir Putin about the Ukraine conflict. According to Politico, this conversation "stunned and dismayed" some European countries, with Denmark and Latvia insisting that attempts to isolate Russia should continue.

During the US-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi, Russia and Ukraine will discuss principles that will be adopted upon the conclusion of the negotiations on a comprehensive settlement, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a news conference.
It is quite natural that Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has been included in the Russian delegation at trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi: "The participation of another deputy minister alongside Mikhail Galuzin, namely Sergey Ryabkov, who oversees North Atlantic affairs and arms control issues in the broadest sense and who, incidentally, spent a significant part of his career working on OSCE-related matters, is quite natural."

Trump stated that during the first meeting between Zelensky and Putin, the Ukrainian side showed immense disrespect towards Russia.
"When they had their first meeting, there was a great deal of disrespect shown towards Russia. Therefore, I will not say anything," the US President said in an interview with CBS News.

A Ukrainian lawmaker has acknowledged evidence of beatings at a suspected military torture site operated by the notorious neo-Nazi-linked Azov unit.
Allegations of abuse at the facility prompted relatives and activists to gather outside the building on Monday. Police cracked down on the protesters, while four injured servicemen were taken to a hospital.
MP Anna Skorokhod, who inspected the building during the protests, later interviewed the four hospitalized servicemen. She said all four had reported being beaten and that she had personally observed bruises and hematomas on their bodies.
Another serviceman told the MP that two members of the military unit demanded money from him. Skorokhod also questioned why he had been held at the facility for over a month.

The EU seeks a seat at Ukraine peace talks in Abu Dhabi despite putting forward no proposals to end the conflict; the Trump administration remains divided over whether to negotiate with Iran, maintain pressure, or launch new strikes; and Democrats’ election victory rattles oil and tech markets but is unlikely to derail Trump’s policies. These stories topped Friday’s newspaper headlines across Russia.

Some German political forces consider the closure of the Russian House in Berlin a mistake, and, if they come to power, its work can be resumed, head of Russia’s agency for international humanitarian cooperation Rossotrudnichestvo Igor Chaika told TASS.
"We see that a number of political forces in Germany see the fallacy of this decision, and they are ready to change it if they come to power," he said.
"This issue is complex and lies in the plane of bilateral relations between Russia and Germany. Let’s hope that common sense will prevail, and that a return [to full-scale operation] will indeed take place at some point. Because the German people reacted very ambiguously to this decision; there were many examples of German citizens expressing their dissatisfaction."

The crisis in European security was provoked by the West drawing a line under the previous system of security in Europe for Russia, the Foreign Ministry said in material "On the Efforts of the USSR and Russia to Establish Collective Security."
The ministry said that the West rejected a draft Agreement on the Foundations of Relations between Russia and NATO proposed by Russia in 2009, as well as a 2021 initiative to draw up an agreement with the United States on security guarantees and an agreement with NATO on security measures.
"The crisis in European security, provoked by the West and requiring Russia to take decisive protective measures in the form of a special military operation, has drawn a line under the previous system of security in Europe for Russia," it said.

Russia’s retaliatory measures in response to a recent expulsion of its diplomats from the Austrian capital will be proportionate but painful for Vienna, Deputy Foreign Minister Dmitry Lyubinsky told TASS.
The diplomat noted that any unfriendly actions by the Austrian authorities towards Russia "have always received and will continue to receive a proportionate response from the Russian side. It will inevitably be painful for Vienna, but this is by no means our choice."
On October 23, four Russian diplomats were declared persona non grata in Austria and were ordered to leave the country.

The Syria Scam
The War on Iraq was never about “Weapons of Mass Destruction”,
The war on Syria was never about “Chemical Weapons” or a “brutal dictator”.
Similarly the war on Iran is not about enriched uranium.
In each case (and many others), however, fake pretexts such as those listed were and are being used to fabricate consent from consistently credulous Western populations for Supreme International Criminality committed beneath banners of “humanitarian intervention”.

A Ukrainian court has ordered pretrial arrest without bail for the woman who raised allegations of torture at a facility in Kiev operated by the notorious neo-Nazi-linked Azov unit.
The scandal erupted on Monday after allegations emerged that dozens of men were being beaten and held for ransom at a private house outside Kiev. Furious relatives and local residents gathered outside the property, leading to clashes with the authorities.
Valentina Molodaya arrived at the house in an ambulance and livestreamed herself pleading to be allowed inside to examine men she claimed were being held there in appalling conditions.

A moment captured from the perspective of a Ukrainian police officer, showing the impact of a FAB-3000 aerial bomb on an underground facility with a dual purpose in the village of Kamyshevakha, Zaporizhzhia region.
The facility was originally built as an underground school called "Dzherelo," but since January 2026, due to the proximity of the front line, it ceased to be used for its intended purpose. Students were switched to home schooling, and local government officials and police station No. 2 moved into the comfortable bunker, as clearly visible in the footage.
Furthermore, the enemy had boasted about using the former underground school as a command post for Ukrainian drones. A video surfaced featuring local political scientist and public figure Roman Pyatigorets, who enthusiastically discussed this in an interview.
Therefore, the airstrike in Kamyshevakha targeted a facility considered to be an underground location for Ukrainian police officers and military personnel. However, when the bombs were already en route (as heard in the conversations on the video), the police decided to place civilians in this "bunker," which had already become a target, ultimately leading to the tragedy with numerous casualties and missing persons.

Certain forces in the West are seeking to accelerate the development of an armed conflict with Russia within the next two years, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said in a video address to participants of an OSCE-hosted roundtable on the militarization of Europe.
"It is being stated explicitly that there is a high probability of an armed conflict with us around 2029-2030. At the same time, there are signals that certain forces in the West are attempting to fast-track such a scenario - within a two-year horizon - in response to Russia’s consistent progress toward achieving the goals of its special military operation," the deputy minister said.
According to Ryabkov, Russia is also dismayed by the attempts of certain European elites - driven by domestic political considerations - to brainwash their citizens by peddling the myth of a "Russian threat" and the notion that war is inevitable. "They have turned Russophobia into a marketable commodity, a driving force behind militarization," he emphasized.

The militarization of Europe continues, and provocations are regularly carried out in regions bordering Russia, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu said at the 14th annual meeting of the top security officials of the CIS member states.
He emphasized that Russia appreciates US President Donald Trump’s efforts to settle the situation around Ukraine. According to Shoigu, Kiev and its European backers are preparing to continue the war rather than pursue peace.
The top security official also noted that Russia is awaiting a CIS delegation in Moscow to demonstrate the capabilities of the Rassvet satellite system.

"The Russian delegation has left for Abu Dhabi," the source said.

Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the negotiations will focus on security guarantees. He also noted that it would be impossible for representatives of Europe to participate, as the agreement was that talks would be in a trilateral format.

Finland is studying the experience of the Ukrainian conflict and considering the possibility of building anti-tank fortifications along its border with Russia, Bloomberg reported, citing Lieutenant General Pasi Valimaki, commander of the Finnish Army.
He pointed to Finland’s harsh climate conditions. "If we build fortifications and dig anti-tank ditches or obstacles as deep as those in Ukraine, how long does it take before our environment turns them into artificial ponds?" Valimaki told the agency.
The Finnish military official also stressed the importance of establishing supply lines for troops on the front line in the event of a protracted conflict, while adding that Finland does not want "a war of attrition". "What I would like Finland to have is the ability to scale for mass-production in large volumes - production for readiness and daily training consumption that can be maintained in peacetime and scaled up tenfold in crisis and conflict," Valimaki said.
In Valimaki’s view, the Finnish Army, as part of NATO’s deterrence efforts on its eastern flank, must be capable of striking missile and drone launch systems before they can be used against Finnish territory.
Some politicians and military officials in the West regularly say they fear that Russia could attack NATO member states in the coming years. Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club that Russia threatens no one and has no intention of attacking anyone in 2029, 2030 or 2050.

Two senior Ukrainian police officials have been arrested in a sweeping corruption investigation into an alleged criminal empire involved in drug trafficking, fraudulent call centers, kidnapping, and torture, which operated under the protection of the country’s security and law enforcement agencies.
Ukraine’s High Anti-Corruption Court ordered the detention of Vladimir Tsenov, the first deputy head of the National Police’s Department of Strategic Investigations, on Thursday. However, the senior official, known by the nickname ‘Price’, walked free the following day after his 15 million hryvnia ($330,000) bail was paid.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have acquired a new method for controlling drones over Russian territory – Israeli HiSKY satellite terminals, according to military correspondents.
These devices are slower than Starlink in terms of data transmission speed, but they allow for the reception of telemetry and remote modification of the drone's flight path.
The main advantage of HiSKY is its coverage of the entire territory of Russia. The system does not have its own satellite constellation, but connects to commercial satellites.
