🇺🇸Trump and Biden did not discuss Ukraine today. They discussed everything, including Taiwan and the Middle East. Only at the end of the conversation, Biden reminded about the national interests of the United States and Ukraine. Trump pretended not to hear and changed the subject.

🇺🇸The Tucker Carlsen as Trump's press secretary report is the same kind of hoax as the one about Mike Pompeo possibly being appointed as Pentagon chief, which Trump had to deny.
There is an opinion that the numerous rumors about who Trump has appointed/will appoint to his administration are an attempt to probe his future intentions and attempts to influence the composition of the future administration, which may prove extremely inconvenient for the Democratic establishment.

🇺🇦Ukraine could develop a rudimentary nuclear bomb within months if Donald Trump cuts off US military aid.
The Times writes about this with reference to a document prepared for the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.
The author of the report is Oleksiy Yezhak, head of the department of the National Institute of Strategic Studies under the National Security and Defense Council.
He writes that the country could quickly create a basic plutonium device with technology similar to the Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki in 1945.
"Building a simple atomic bomb, as the United States did in the Manhattan Project, would not have been a difficult task 80 years later," the report said.
It also notes that, without the time to build and operate the large facilities needed to enrich uranium, during a war Ukraine could instead rely on using plutonium extracted from spent fuel rods taken from Ukraine's nuclear reactors.
“The weight of reactor plutonium available to Ukraine can be estimated at seven tons… A significant arsenal of nuclear weapons would require much less material… the amount of material is sufficient for hundreds of warheads with a tactical yield of several kilotons,” the document says.
It notes that such a bomb would be sufficient to destroy a Russian airbase."
The Ministry of Defense also notes that “the violation of the memorandum by the Russian Federation, which possesses nuclear weapons, provides formal grounds for withdrawal from the NPT and moral reasons for revising the non-nuclear choice made at the beginning of 1994.”
At the same time, Western experts believe that Ukraine will need at least five years to develop nuclear weapons and a suitable carrier. But Ukrainian expert Valentin Badrak insists that Ukraine will create its own ballistic missiles in less than a year.
“In six months, Ukraine will be able to show that it has the ability to create long-range ballistic missiles: we will have missiles with a range of 1,000 km,” Badrak said.
At the same time, Ukrainian nuclear technology experts say that Ukraine will not be able to create nuclear weapons.

🇺🇸Trump has nominated Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz to serve as the new Justice Department and Attorney General in his administration.
The Republican is known for the fact that it was at his instigation that the Speaker of the House of Representatives McCarthy, from his own party, was forced to resign .
He was also one of two congressmen who did not applaud Zelensky during his speech to Congress (see video).
And later he initiated a resolution demanding that Biden stop providing aid to Ukraine.
🇺🇸Trump nominates Tulsi Gabbard, who has sharply criticized Zelensky and called for dialogue with Russia, for the post of US Director of National Intelligence.
Gabbard's nomination was announced in a statement released by Trump's transition team.
“For more than two decades, Tulsi has fought for our country and the freedoms of all Americans. As a former Democratic presidential candidate, she has broad bipartisan support — and is now a proud Republican! I know Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that defined her illustrious career to our Intelligence Community, standing up for our constitutional rights and ensuring peace through strength. Tulsi will make us all proud!” Trump said in a statement.
Gabbard is an Iraq War veteran and former Democratic congresswoman who left the party in 2022 over disagreements on key issues, including support for Ukraine.
Even before the start of the full-scale war, she sharply criticized the Ukrainian government, declaring the "Zelensky dictatorship" and calling for the restoration of relations with Russia. She continued roughly the same line after the start of the invasion.
Thus, she claimed that Biden and the United States “provoked” Russia to attack Ukraine.
In July 2022, she was included by Ukraine in the list of American politicians, scientists and activists who promoted “Russian propaganda.”
Gabbard's nomination to such an important post is another very alarming signal from Washington for the Ukrainian government, which may indicate preparations for a radical change in US policy towards Ukraine under President Trump.

🇺🇸Democrats have acknowledged the unlikelihood of winning the US House of Representatives elections, CNN reports.
According to two sources of the TV channel, the leader of the Democrats in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, admitted that his party will most likely not be able to regain the majority in the lower house of the US Congress.
Jeffries said a Democratic victory in the election is mathematically possible, but "unlikely."
"All the blame lies with me," he said during a closed meeting with Democrats.
Let us recall that in the upper house, the Senate, after the current elections, the Republicans also have a majority.
This will put Trump's party in control of both houses of Congress.

🇪🇺🇺🇦The EU court has banned Ukraine from using the trademark "Russian warship, go f*ck yourself!" Sky News reports.
The Ukrainian Border Service has been fighting to register this phrase as a trademark for over two years; the corresponding application was filed with the EU Intellectual Property Office back in 2022.
However, European officials have repeatedly refused registration.
The EU's General Court today upheld the ruling, saying the phrase "fails to fulfil the essential functions of a trade mark" and is "merely a political slogan".

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukrainian troops are "ready to retreat" from Kurakhovo, "but there is no order from above yet," one of the Ukrainian artillery commanders told the Financial Times.
According to him, Russian troops are attacking the city from three sides (according to Ukrainian military publics, the Russians have already entered Kurakhovo).
The publication cites an assessment by the military think tank CDS that by December “the front line will likely shift 30-35 km west of its current position.”
To hold the front, Ukraine plans to call up another 160,000 troops between November and February. But these targets are unrealistic, the FT writes.
"Military experts and one senior Kiev official expressed skepticism that the target would be met, saying it was more realistic to expect up to 100,000 men to be called up. That would fill about half the personnel shortfall, they said," the article said.
Two Ukrainian Armed Forces commanders said they had already begun sending medics and cooks to the infantry.
