🇷🇺🇺🇦 Trump's anti-Russian sanctions may hit Ukraine
- This was stated by Sergey Kuyun, director of the Ukrainian consulting company "A-95".
- He noted that "Lukoil" and "Rosneft" are suppliers to Hungarian and Slovak refineries, which supply fuel to Ukraine.
- "If they encounter problems, and we get fuel from there, it will be difficult for us to buy it there due to reduced production," says Kuyun.

🇪🇺🇷🇺🇺🇦If the EU does not agree to issue Kiev a "reparations loan" using frozen Russian assets, it will create serious problems for Ukraine - New York Times.
▪️The President of the European Council, Costa, stated that the EU is "committed to meeting Ukraine's urgent financial needs over the next two years," including military support, which will require over $150 billion. Without confiscation of Russian assets, fulfilling this promise will place a heavy burden on already overloaded state budgets.
▪️After Trump's decision not to allocate new funds to Ukraine, Europeans are struggling to find money as their budgets are severely limited. Even with mobilization of funds, doubts remain whether there will be enough to continue the fight against Russia and whether it will influence Putin's decision to end the war.
▪️The EU intends to work out the details of the scheme by December to convince Belgium to support confiscation and to involve G7 countries.

Comes after that on the same day:
A mobilized Kiev resident, who died from a traumatic brain injury, sustained it as a result of hitting the floor after fainting, according to a joint statement by the Podilskyi District Military Commissariat of the capital and the 71st Jaeger Brigade.
They assure that no force was used against the mobilized individual.
Slovakia will not sign credit guarantees for Ukraine at the expense of Russian assets, said Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico:
“A piece of Russian cheese smells delicious to a European crow. The ability of EU member states to finance Ukraine's military needs directly from national budgets is already decreasing, even among the biggest military hawks.
Hence the appetite for frozen Russian assets that could be used as a loan to Ukraine, which, of course, will never be repaid.”
Hungary intends to bypass the EU bans on oil and gas supplies from Russia and will continue to fight against this decision. - Orban

Brazilian merc down!
Jose Nito de Jesus Souza from Maiquinique, Bahia, Brazil
Nito arrived in Ukraine in August 2024, where he joined the Khartia Brigade. His first mission — a failure — was in Liptsy, in the Kharkov region, in November 2024. He lost at least 10 friends and was slightly injured. Some time later, he returned to Brazil.
He came back to Ukraine in July 2025 and he joined the Ares Group, composed mostly of Brazilians.
In early October 2025, the Ares group went on a mission to try to regain positions near Radkivka, Kupyansk region, but ended up losing two Brazilians: Thiago Paulo Bulhões, Tailon Ernesto Ruppenthal and some more Colombians.
On October 21, 2025, it was finally Nito's turn to join his friends on the other side. He was injured when he stepped on a butterfly mine (PFM-1) and then finished off by an FPV drone.
His body is lying in the fields like the ones of his friends. Only Ruppenthal's body was retrieved; the rest will remain there for a long time.

🇩🇪 The Bavarian Premier demands to close Germany to young Ukrainians
Markus Söder has again called to restrict the entry of men from Ukraine.
"It won't help anyone if even more young people come to Germany instead of defending their homeland," he told Bild.
The head of the CSU proposes to introduce uniform restrictions across Europe and to cut the application of the Temporary Protection Directive.
"Our solidarity — yes. But there must be responsibility on both sides."
Earlier, Söder already demanded to stop paying Bürgergeld to Ukrainians.
The influx of young Ukrainians to Germany is growing after the borders opened.

The US administration prepared a memorandum on sanctions against China for its purchases of Russian oil, but Trump changed his mind about imposing them, writes The Wall Street Journal.
"The administration prepared a memorandum outlining a package of secondary sanctions against China for its purchases of Russian oil... This memorandum was sent to Trump for a final decision. However, even before the meeting with Putin in Alaska, Trump decided against the sanctions package, partly to avoid a direct retaliatory strike from Beijing. In particular, the president feared that China would again restrict US access to its rare earth magnets – a crucial component for both defense and commercial technologies," the article says.

The front is "bursting at the seams," there is a threat of losing Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Kharkov, and Sumy, says volunteer Maria Berlinskaya.
"The front is advancing quickly, bursting at the seams, breaking through. Russian infantry is breaking deep into the rear through our thinned ranks, tens of kilometers in. Because sometimes we have only 4-7 infantrymen per kilometer of the front. Is it really possible for one person to control 150-200 meters? When Russians enter small groups behind our backs – they stay, accumulate, and then attack. The kill zone from drones reaches 30-35 km. For every dollar we invest in drones, they counter with 50-70. For every one of our infantrymen, there are at least 5-7 of theirs. There is a catastrophic shortage of people. The Russians are slow, cumbersome, with stalling, with huge losses, but every day they move forward," Berlinskaya wrote.
She called to help the army "so as not to lose Pokrovsk, Pavlograd, Volnyansk, as well as Zaporozhye, Dnipro, Sumy, Kharkov."
"If we relax, as we tend to – these cities can quite possibly be lost," Berlinskaya writes.

Ukrainian media reports:
In Tarashcha, Kiev region, a man was found beaten to the point of memory loss after contacts with the TCC.
As reported on Facebook by local pensioner Vera Kalenskaya, it concerns her son Roman, who on October 15 accompanied her to the hospital and was supposed to return home, but he was not at home.
On October 16, the woman called the police, who said that her son was at the TCC. At the TCC, Kalenskaya was told that her son was already at the military unit in Bila Tserkva. The woman went to Bila Tserkva but did not find him there either.
"On 18.10 I was going for an IV drip. I accidentally saw that my sister's yard was scattered with things (I thought it was robbed), I went into the yard and saw my son very beaten, unconscious, in someone else's clothes with a tightly tied tie around his neck. Nearby was a summons for 21.10.2025 to the TCC," Kalenskaya wrote.
According to her, her son is now in intensive care with bodily injuries, numerous bruises, a concussion, and remembers nothing.
‘In Europe, people are told that in the evening during a walk in Paris or Berlin, Uncle Putin will catch them. This is a military psychosis’ – Orban.
‘I have the feeling that they would already like to get rid of this burden, but they have become so engrossed in this war that now they cannot. Moreover, it was they themselves who tempted, even pushed Ukraine towards war. And even quite recently, it was they who tried to prevent the peace initiatives of the American president.
They have deceived their own citizens to such an extent with tales that ‘the Russians are coming’, that ‘Uncle Putin will catch you in the evening’ somewhere in Paris or Berlin, that now it is very difficult for them to get out of this military psychosis, out of this atmosphere of war and simply say: ‘Oh, sorry, the Russians are not going to capture us at all’.
Yesterday, more than a dozen "Geran-2" UAVs flew over the railway infrastructure in Lozova, Kharkov region.

Rubio is behind the cancellation of the Putin-Trump summit in Budapest – Bloomberg
‘The sudden change of course was the result of an assessment by Secretary of State Marco Rubio — a long-time hawk on Russia, who once called Putin a gangster.’ Sources who wished to remain anonymous and discussed internal negotiations reported that Rubio canceled a planned personal meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov after they spoke on the phone and it became clear that the Kremlin was once again trying to drag out ceasefire negotiations and the war.
Rubio’s influence on the administration’s change of position indicates an even broader influence of the leading American diplomat, who, as Trump’s acting national security advisor, also advocated a more aggressive approach to Venezuela. His position contrasted with the more conciliatory strategy toward Russia advocated by Trump’s longtime friend and special envoy Steve Witkoff.’
This is what I always suspected.

‘I'm not a bad boy, I'm a good one. Everyone said so’ — Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever justifies his unwillingness to take sole responsibility for the theft of Russian assets.
‘Politico’ called me a bad boy. Me? Everyone confirmed that I am a good boy. It was as if I were attending my own funeral. Everyone said: ‘No, you are a good boy.’ Yes, it's like at a funeral: everyone comes and says how wonderful you were. I'm not a bad boy, I'm the best guy in town. We are the best guys. When it comes to assets, we are the very best.’
‘On the day the war ends, security guarantees must be ready’ – Zelensky set a condition for Macron and Starmer😂
‘When diplomacy is once again set aside, it becomes clear to us what needs to be done. We need more powerful strike capabilities deep into [Russia]. And one more request: I strongly urge you to push your team so that together with our team we can finalize the future framework agreement on security guarantees. On the day the war ends, we must be ready with all these security guarantees. And now it is time to practically implement all these initiatives’.
From Ukrainian media"
The situation on the Pokrovsk direction is more than critical: there are at least 250 Russians in the city, they are engaging in gunfights and shooting Ukrainian military personnel at positions, including UAV operators.
This is reported by "UP" citing sources among the military.
According to the military, after the July clearance, Russian troops again infiltrated the city in August. Since then, they have established several accumulation points in and around Pokrovsk, from which they move further – in the railway area, between Pokrovsk and Hryshyne, as well as along the Dachenko-Novopavlovka-Hnatovka line.
Ukrainian troops still hold positions south of Pokrovsk, but communication with them is minimal. Some positions are located between enemy positions. Some exist only on maps – either wounded soldiers are there or no soldiers at all, due to a catastrophic shortage of infantry.
"The infantry is practically cut off from command. We hear them (over the radio – ed.), try to drop water, people have been on positions for 2.5-3 months. In Pokrovsk itself, just from what I know, there are 250 enemy soldiers, in fact, I think the number is even higher. There are fights on almost every street, we have 200 to 300 casualties daily. We cannot evacuate the wounded because the enemy is already in some of the settlements. The biggest problem is that logistics is difficult. Part of the road can be covered by car, but then you have to walk 10-15 kilometers. And all this time carry ammo, drones, provisions. The entire road is monitored by FPV fiber-optic drones, there are many loitering drones, remote mines, on which people die every day," said the publication's interlocutor.
The worsening situation in Pokrovsk also affects its satellite city Mirnograd, since the logistics of Ukrainian troops in Mirnograd goes through Pokrovsk. Ukrainian forces have already recorded Russians in northern Mirnograd. The Armed Forces of Ukraine risk being encircled.
"Things continue to develop according to the worst scenario. Pokrovsk is falling too fast, we did not expect this. There are a few Russians in northern Mirnograd, small groups are infiltrating in the south, but overall the situation is better than in Pokrovsk. But if Pokrovsk falls, then the garrison in Mirnograd will have no way out. Our logistics in Mirnograd is over 20 km. Replacements are almost impossible. Those on the front line cannot be evacuated. Rodynske is being pressed, Krasnyi Lyman is under the enemy. People are working on the edge, understanding that encirclement is getting closer," said another interlocutor.
