Turkey does not take neutral position, military cooperation between countries is at high level, - Kuleba

Turkey does not take a neutral position in Russia’s war against Ukraine, and in Kyiv they are sympathetic to Ankara’s foreign policy.

This was reported by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, during a briefing, Censor.NET informs with reference to LIGA.net.

According to the minister, Turkey supports Ukraine in the war - this is evidenced by the results of the vote at the United Nations, the participation of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the Crimean Platform, as well as cooperation in the field of security.

He noted that military cooperation with Turkey is at a "high level".

"We understand Turkey's foreign policy. They cooperate with Ukraine in important areas for us, and at the same time conduct economic activities with Russia," Kuleba added. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3374999

Everything indicates that Iran supplies drones to Russia, - Stoltenberg

The North Atlantic Alliance has no doubt that Iran is supplying drones to Russia and is monitoring Tehran’s further actions.

This was announced by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Censor.NET informs with reference to the EP.

"I never talk about specific intelligence, but I can say that everything points to Iran supplying Russia with drones. We call on all countries, including Iran, not to support Russia's illegal war against Ukraine," Stoltenberg said.

He noted that NATO is closely monitoring Iran's actions against the background of reports of intentions to supply Russia not only with drones but also with missiles.

"This is military aggression. This is a war that is an obvious violation of international law. And this is an attack on a sovereign state in Europe. NATO allies and partners provide unprecedented support to Ukraine.
Last week, several countries announced the provision of air defense systems, and the terrible drone attacks that we have seen recently only emphasize the urgency of increasing support for Ukraine," added the Secretary General of the Alliance.

Also remind, that earlier Iran rejected accusations regarding the supply of arms to Russia.

The White House said that Iran is lying when it claims that it is not supplying Russia with kamikaze drones for the war with Ukraine.

According to the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the Iranian military in occupied Crimea is teaching Russians how to use kamikaze drones. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3375044

Blowing up Kakhovka HPP will be disaster and will make it impossible to supply water to occupied Crimea for years, - Danilov. VIDEO

The Russian invaders can probably resort to blowing up the Kakhovka HPP, but this will primarily harm them because the water supply to the occupied Crimea will be stopped.

This was stated by Oleksii Danilov, Secretary of the NSDC, in an interview with Channel 24, Censor.NET informs.

The Russian invaders can probably resort to blowing up the Kakhovka HPP, but this will primarily harm them because the water supply to the occupied Crimea will be stopped.

This was stated by Oleksii Danilov, Secretary of the NSDC, in an interview with Channel 24, Censor.NET informs.
"If they resort to such things, there can be no water supply there in the coming years," he emphasized.

"It's another matter that they can destroy the units that are there and produce electricity for our country. They can do that and we have information about these things," the NSDC secretary added.

According to him, according to Ukrainian calculations, if the occupiers go to blow up the Kakhovka HPP, there is a danger for some settlements. Yes, it will not just be the destruction of infrastructure facilities, but a catastrophe of an incredible scale with a huge number of human victims. Source: https://censor.net/en/v3375025

"Ukrenergo" considers any scenario in case of damage to energy system of Ukraine, even most extreme

Volodymyr Kudrytsky, the head of the board of "Ukrenergo", assured that several variants of the development of the situation with different intensities of damage to the energy system of Ukraine have been planned and worked out.

He told about this on the air of a nationwide telethon, Censor.NET reports with reference to Liga.net.

"We consider any scenario, even the most extreme. We calculate how the energy system will work under different levels of destruction.
We know what to do in different situations. The power system is currently maintaining its integrity, and the [electricity] consumption restrictions that we are putting in place, for example, today, are precisely aimed at ensuring that the power system remains stable," he said.

According to Kudrytsky, "we, as a state, should be ready for anything."

He said that as a result of the strikes of the Russian Federation, part of the electricity generation was lost, and "it will probably take several days" to return the volume of its production to the previous level.

Kudrytskyi thanked the Ukrainians who heeded the calls to save electricity and urged them not to treat it as a one-day action: it should be done in the future because the Russians attack infrastructure and power plants almost every day. Energy companies need time to restore what was destroyed, and saving is a "rest" for the energy system of the regions and the country.

"It is very important that our consumers understand that consumption restrictions give us the opportunity to stabilize the situation. That is, they are not evidence of the collapse of the energy system: on the contrary, they say that we are in control of what is happening," he said.

According to the representative of Ukrenergo, if Ukrainians do not comply with the recommendation to save money (or the infrastructure will be severely destroyed), it will be necessary to introduce planned blackouts in the areas for several hours.

Kudrytskyi hopes that with the beginning of the heating season, people will turn off part of the electric heaters and partially relieve the power grid. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3375034

The American company Texas Instruments, whose electronics were found in Russian missiles, still has not left the aggressor country.

This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to "Economic Truth".

Since 2014, the EU and the US have imposed export restrictions on dual-use goods that can be used in military products.

Despite this, many Western companies are finding alternative ways to conduct trade in the huge Russian market. And some generally ignored such sanctions and continued cooperation with the aggressor country, helping it prepare for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Texas Instruments has been working in the Russian Federation for at least two decades: the distribution agreement was concluded back in 2001. Already after 2014, when Ukraine asked the world for sanctions, the American company continued to cooperate with the terrorist country: it signed documents and held seminars.

Interesting... Turkey's economic activities with Russia are OK. U.S. economic activities with Russia are BAD.

I'm not talking specifics here, just the general tone of those 2 articles.

The Europeans have made a mess of this situation. You're afraid of Putin and are hoping the Ukraine (w/ U.S backing) will stop Him before you have to get your hands dirty.

If it were up to me I would wash my hands of the whole deal. I would pull out of NATO and redeploy those troops to my Southern Border, and the Western Pacific.

This is not a confident dictator, LOL

Alexander Lukashenko, the self-proclaimed president of Belarus, has announced that people need to be given full information about the processes taking place in Belarus and the existing threats, so that they can choose for themselves whether "to live quietly and calmly or go through troubled times".

Source: Belarusian state-owned news outlet BelTA, quoting a statement made by Lukashenko at a meeting held on 20 October on the formation of the Belarusian People's Congress and amendments to electoral legislation

Details: The self-proclaimed president reminded his audience that he had previously instructed defence, security, law enforcement and other agencies to keep people informed about what was happening.

According to Lukashenko, he is not doing this to scare people, but in order to "inform people about everything that is going on, and then let people make a decision".

Quote from Lukashenko: "If you want to go through troubles – please go ahead. Off you go, and good luck with that. If you want things to be quiet and peaceful, so that even if you don't take a shower yourself in the morning and evening (although I think everyone has the opportunity to do that), you can at least bath your children in warm water, [if you want] to have a warm house, with gas, oil and so on, something to snack on or eat in the morning and evening, and something to wear - if this is what you want (this is also an option), then grit your teeth and go ahead, do what I tell you."

Details: Speaking about the upcoming elections in 2024, Lukashenko said that they should be held under new rules and will not be easy.

In particular, he said preparations must be made "to counter attempts to disrupt the elections".

Commodity producers in Australia, Canada, Latin America and South Africa stand to benefit from higher commodity prices and the loss in Russian supply to global markets. J.P.

Asia should be supported by the higher quality composition and greater proportion of a domestic investor base, which should make Asia less susceptible to a reversal in global EM flows, while Middle East should benefit from stronger oil prices. Commodity-heavy Africa should also fare better. For Latin American corporates, the recent sell-off has created better entry points for certain credits such as those in financials, miners and oil and gas exporters. Issuers from these sectors stand to benefit from either rising rates or higher commodity prices.

Troops newly-mobilised for the war in Ukraine are being forced to pay for their own kit as army supply depots run low on everything from uniforms and boots, to flak-jackets and night-vision equipment. As questions are asked in the Russian Duma about what’s going on, BBC Russian has discovered that one possible reason is theft – by serving soldiers, in army bases all across the country. And as court documents show, some of it is happening on an almost industrial scale.

Mobilization, annexation and martial law testify to Putin’s desperation, - Blinken

The latest decisions of the Russian president, which led to the failure of mass mobilization in Russia, as well as his declaration of "martial law" in the territories over which he is rapidly losing control, indicate that Putin has fallen into despair.

This was stated by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Censor.NET reports with reference to Ukrinform.

"This is another sign that indicates Putin's desperation," the head of the State Department commented on the situation.

Blinken explained that only in the last few weeks, Putin tried to mobilize more forces, and resorted to the so-called "annexation" of Ukrainian territories. "Now he says that he is introducing martial law in places where, as he claims, there are people who want to be part of Russia. This shows his desperation," the US Secretary of State noted.

He emphasized that Putin is resorting to attacks on the civilian population of Ukraine, and indiscriminate bombing of power plants, schools, and hospitals. In this connection, Blinken called Putin's decisions irrational.

The US Secretary of State also answered questions about Russian threats to use nuclear weapons.

"We spoke very clearly to President Putin directly, as well as privately, about the severe consequences that will follow the use of any type of nuclear weapon," the head of American diplomacy noted. At the same time, Blinken noted that he currently sees no reason for the US to change its own nuclear position. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3375161

Effectiveness of air defense of Ukraine is 64%, - General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine

The effectiveness of the air defense system of Ukraine is 64%, 81 missiles out of 126 used by Russia in Ukraine were destroyed.

This was announced by the Deputy Chief of the Main Operational Department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Brigadier General Oleksiy Hromov, Censor.NET reports with reference to Interfax-Ukraine.

"The effectiveness of our air defense system remains at a fairly high level - 64%, and 81 missiles out of 126 used were destroyed," he said.

Gromov noted that in view of gaining experience and receiving new samples of portable anti-aircraft missile systems during the last week, the efficiency of the air defense system of Ukraine has increased significantly.

At the same time, he emphasized that since October 10, the Russian military has fired 154 missiles over Ukraine, which is almost 7 times more than in the first decade of the month. In the first decade, 21 rockets were launched. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3375118

Now task #1 for Russian army is to hold front and stop Ukrainian offensive in Kherson region, - General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine

Currently, the number one task for Russia is to contain the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south.

Brigadier General Oleksiy Hromov, deputy chief of the Main Operational Department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, told about this during the briefing, Censor.NET informs with reference to ArmiaInform.

"For the Putin regime, the southern direction, which is Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Mykolaiv, is of strategic importance from the point of view of preserving the land corridor to Crimea, providing water for the peninsula and creating a future bridgehead for capturing the Mykolaiv and Odesa regions and depriving Ukraine of the status of a maritime state, as well as laying the so-called land corridor to "Transnistria," Hromov said.

He noted that in the direction of Zaporizhzhia, the enemy conducts an active defense and carries out a systematic fire attack on units of the defense forces of Ukraine, using the entire range of weapons: it carries out air and missile strikes in the areas of various settlements and on civilian infrastructure, in particular in Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro.

"These developments indicate that the number one task for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is to hold the front and stop the Ukrainian offensive in the Kherson direction," said a representative of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

The general noted that the enemy plans to solve such a task first of all at the expense of the first wave of partial mobilization and by increasing the number of groups of the Russian Armed Forces on the right bank of the Dnipro River.

"Today, in order to restrain the advance of units of our troops in the South Bug operational area, the enemy has concentrated up to 45 battalion tactical groups, which accelerate the fortification equipment of defensive lines. At the same time, the enemy is constantly trying to restore crossings across the Dnipro River in order to provide comprehensive support to its troops," he noted Hromov.

Instead, the units of the Armed Forces continue to inflict fire damage on concentrations of personnel, weapons, and military equipment of the enemy and in areas of concentration and on positions. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3375117
