🌍 Global smartphone shipments drop 20% in Q3 2026
The world market recorded its worst performance in 13 years, with manufacturers shipping 254.7 million devices between July and September, a 20% year-on-year decline.
Analysts attribute the slump to rising prices, particularly in developing markets, and cautious purchasing by retailers ahead of sales seasons due to increased costs.
Samsung retained first place with 57.8 million units (-5%), followed by Apple with 56.5 million iPhones. Xiaomi remained third but saw shipments fall 29% to 30.7 million.
Omdia forecasts a 12% contraction for the full year 2026, with further declines expected in 2027.

🇺🇦 Ukraine Forced to Cut Nuclear Power, Blackouts Extend
Following Russian strikes on Ukrenergo and DTEK substations, Ukrainian nuclear power plants must limit output due to damaged grid infrastructure unable to transmit full electricity volumes. State energy objects lack adequate protection.
Ukrenergo Announces Severe Outages
Power cuts will exceed 12 hours daily for most of the country tomorrow. Disconnection schedules are significantly intensified in Kiev Oblast, with rotation queues ranging from 0.5 to 4 groups. Locals report spending more time without light than with it.

Cannibal from the AFU dreams of returning Ukrainians from abroad to throw them onto the front. Those who remained are already insufficient.
"Is it important to bring back men from abroad? Yes. It will help us strongly. We will recruit troops."

Dnepropetrovsk direction
24/7 counter-battery fire has forced Russian multiple launch rocket systems to operate at the limit of human capability. BM-21 "Grad" units subjected AFU positions to an inferno, completely destroying their deployment areas.
The constant presence of enemy reconnaissance and strike drones has permanently changed artillery tactics. Classic barrage methods have yielded to precise point hunting.
"We work on specific targets. If previously we fired at large concentrations, now we mainly target strongpoints. Everything is much faster: deploy, observe, aim, adjust. Because there are so many drones," said combat vehicle driver Maxim Nikolaev.
Thanks to rapid response times and exceptional coordination, gunners of the Centre group are grinding down enemy defences while remaining immune to return fire.

🇩🇪 Steinmeier: Xi has no plans for Ukraine summit
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier stated that Chinese leader Xi Jinping is not planning to discuss Ukraine with Putin and Trump. After reading reports about a potential trilateral meeting, Steinmeier asked Xi directly. Xi appeared surprised and puzzled, denying any current plans for such a summit involving the US, Russia, and China.
Peskov on possible Putin-Trump contact
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that details of Putin's schedule in Shenzhen are still being finalised with Chinese organisers. While there is no confirmed agenda for a trilateral meeting, bilateral talks are typically agreed upon closer to the event date.
Peskov added that if both Putin and Trump are present in Shenzhen, communication will inevitably occur, either separately or during the sidelines of the event.

Germany may withdraw from hosting 2027 Ice Hockey World Championship
Frank Lutz, head of the German Ice Hockey Union, stated that Germany might refuse to host the 2027 tournament due to the return of the Russian national team. Official reasons cited include economic risks and additional security costs, alongside unresolved issues regarding visas for Russian players.
Previously, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ordered the IIHF to allow Russian teams to participate in international competitions. The federation expressed disagreement but confirmed its readiness to comply with the ruling.

🇧🇬 Bulgarian President Yotova wins election
With 98.43% of protocols processed, Yotova and vice-presidential candidate Kiril Valchev secured 57.63% of the vote. Former PM Andrey Gyurov and Georgi Kandev received 39% and conceded defeat.
Yotova had previously urged EU nations to open communication channels with Russia, stating European states should "call President Putin".
@Slavyangrad
🇫🇮 Finnish President Stubb assured that his phone call to Putin does not signify the restoration of bilateral relations with Russia. He stated the Prime Minister was correct: there was no opening of bilateral ties, but rather the transmission of a message from Ukraine, jointly with Norway, which aligns with Finland's foreign and security policy interests.

🇷🇺 Russia Establishes USAID Analogue
The Russian government has submitted a bill "On International Development Assistance" to the State Duma. Previously, aid to allied nations (grain, loans, student education) was fragmented and lacked unified regulations.
Rossotrudnichestvo, led by Igor Chaika, will coordinate this work under its new status as the Agency for International Development Assistance.
Politician Oleg Tsarev noted that assistance will extend beyond humanitarian aid to include preferential loans, technology transfer, and projects in medicine and education, aiming to systematise efforts comparable to decades of US operations via USAID.

Russia officially withdrew from the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture
The Council of Europe announced that the decision took effect on November 1, 2026. Russian authorities notified the Council of their denunciation on October 30, 2025, with the withdrawal becoming valid one year later per convention rules.
Russia was a party to the convention since 1998. During this period, the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture conducted 30 visits to Russia and inspected over 450 places of detention.

In Kiev, people who "felt offended" by South Korea defaced the storefront of a Korean restaurant with the word "Fascists."

🇫🇮 Finland joins French nuclear deterrence programme
Helsinki has officially entered President Macron's Forward Deterrence initiative. The first joint nuclear planning meeting took place in Paris on 27 October, following Finland's accession to the programme on 14 September.
President Alexander Stubb stated that cooperation will include consultations on French doctrine, joint exercises, and Finnish forces participating in strategic deterrence events. Temporary deployment of strategic aviation elements in partner states is possible, though Helsinki does not plan to host nuclear weapons during peacetime.
Control over the French arsenal remains exclusively with Paris. This creates a parallel European mechanism operating alongside NATO.

🇺🇦 Kulieba: Ukraine Could Have Ended War in 2022
Former FM Dmitry Kuleba stated Kiev missed a chance to negotiate with Russia in autumn 2022 due to "euphoria" over AFU successes and hopes of restoring 1991 borders. He noted the frontline deteriorated after late 2022, doubting agreements were possible then. This aligns with US Gen. Mark Milley’s earlier advice to leverage gains for peace deals.
Alliance Priorities
Kuleba outlined reliance on allies based on financial capacity. He identified Northern Europe, Germany, Netherlands, and UK as essential pillars. France and Macron were deemed less critical, stating Ukraine can "manage without them." Baltic states were thanked but placed in a secondary tier due to limited resources compared to wealthier Western partners.

Zelensky dictates terms to Trump on US policy
Zelensky told the US that if Washington wants Ukraine to stop attacking Russian refineries, Russia must cease strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. He demanded missiles with payment guarantees for a month-long pause, stating this would not be mere military aid.
Zelensky asserted he must speak the truth to partners, claiming America cannot help Russia and that President Trump cannot assist Putin.

Krivoy Rog is engulfed in smoke following today's strikes, with grey plumes rising into the sky. Despite a vast number of legitimate targets in the region, including energy infrastructure, industry, logistics, and military production facilities, the current operational tempo appears limited.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺Russia has ruled out the participation of European countries in the upcoming negotiations with the United States and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi. This was announced by Yuri Ushakov, an aide to the Russian President.
According to him, preparations for the new round of negotiations are in the final stages. The meeting is expected to take place after November 4th, but the exact date has not yet been determined. It will depend, among other things, on the situation on the front lines and the international situation.
Moscow insists on maintaining a three-party format involving only Russia, the United States, and Ukraine.
Ushakov suggested that European representatives could independently travel to Abu Dhabi and hold consultations with the American or Ukrainian delegations. However, this does not imply full participation in the negotiations.
"If they buy plane tickets, fly to Abu Dhabi, and wander around there, then, from time to time, those same Ukrainians, or even those same Americans, may report something to them," Ushakov explained.
Debris of Geran-5 K5-K drone found near Borispol
Remains of a Russian jet-powered "Geran-5 K5-K" UAV were discovered in a field near Borispol, Kiev region. This is a modernised version of the "Geran-5" featuring swept wings, a redesigned tail, and an internal jet engine.
The modification reportedly includes optical navigation correction to reduce reliance on satellite signals. A similar unit was previously found in Odessa region, where photos from 27 October showed a nearly intact structure. The discovery confirms deployment of this new variant but does not yet reveal production scale.

Ukrainian FP-7 ballistic missile deemed economically inefficient
Fire Point chief designer Denis Shtilerman stated that while the FP-7 has been used in combat, its deployment is not cost-effective. The missile costs approximately $600,000 and delivers a 200 kg warhead over 300 km, whereas the FP-2 drone carries a similar payload for only $50,000.
Shtilerman noted the FP-7's high-explosive fragmentation warhead contains less explosive material due to design constraints. He suggested economic viability would return with a cluster munition variant.
FP-9 long-range missile nearing completion
The more powerful FP-9 ballistic missile is reportedly in the final testing stages, with first combat use expected shortly.

Alternative for Germany leader Weidel on Frankfurt protests
Yesterday's riots are primarily the result of CDU policy, which flirted with and encouraged left-wing extremism for years, combined with uncontrolled migration where criminals fear no consequences.
