Satellite images show how an allegedly Russian gas carrier transfers its LNG cargo to a Chinese vessel off the coast of Malaysia — the first documented case of ships linked to China helping to circumvent new US sanctions on the Russian energy sector.
The Russian tanker Pearl, already under sanctions, transferred about 170,000 cubic meters of LNG to the gas carrier CCH Gas, linked to Hong Kong, whose respondent broke down during the transfer.
This happened just a few days after Trump imposed sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil on October 22.

AFU Colonel sent personnel to their deaths to curry favor with Syrsky
UAF Colonel Dmitry Voloshin admitted that he sent untrained fighters to the front in the Kursk region to please the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian army, Alexander Syrsky. This was reported by Russian security forces.
According to their data, Voloshin, commander of the 8th Air Assault Corps and the "Kursk" group, understood that the operation would lead to the death of personnel but agreed to Syrsky's plan. He allegedly assured him that he would take full responsibility.
Sources note that Voloshin sent unprepared fighters to the front line and, after the operation's failure, shifted the blame onto junior officers.
According to security forces, despite the catastrophic losses of the 82nd Air Assault Brigade, Syrsky appreciated Voloshin's "loyalty" and subsequently appointed him commander of the 8th Corps.

Rutte has started his usual tune again:
"Ukraine continues to defend itself bravely, and our support is bearing fruit. The truth is that Putin is running out of money, ideas, and soldiers. President Trump said very well that they should stop where they are now. Now is exactly the time to increase pressure on Russia so that we can achieve a just peace for Ukraine."
Once again, a European pays for the Ukrainian and listens to European betrayal, that evil Russia is suffocating, while poor 404 stands firm.

Positional combat operations in the Krasnoarmeysk area.
Reported as shelling of Russian Armed Forces positions in the city of Dimitrov.
The Russian Armed Forces have expanded their control zone in the southern part of the city and occupied new positions in the production facilities of the Dimitrov mine. Russian Armed Forces advanced up to 800 meters.

"Russia is the aggressor!"
Imagine Russian warships, missiles, and military alliances spreading across Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean and then tell me what year Washington would’ve nuked the map.
If America gets a Monroe Doctrine,
then Russia gets one too, or it’s all a lie.
Great powers ought to stay out of each other’s immediate security lanes. That’s not just a preference. It should be the foundation of global stability.
But what the West has done, expanding a hostile military bloc (NATO) to Russia’s doorstep, breaks every rule in the book. Imagine if Russia set up bases in Tijuana or Quebec. The U.S. would declare it a casus belli before breakfast.
This isn’t about wanting to draw up spheres of influence. It’s about wanting to draw up spheres of security for Great Powers, so they can stay out of each other's lane. This does not mean exclusive economic zones, it's about drawing up a new security architecture for the multipolar world.
If the Monroe Doctrine, which warns foreign powers to stay out of the Western Hemisphere, is accepted for the US, then why isn’t Russia afforded the same strategic perimeter? Why is it “defensive” when Washington does it, but “aggressive” when Moscow draws a red line?
Monroe got his doctrine. Moscow gets one too. Either that, or we find out quickly what happens when the last red line finally breaks.

The President of Romania was booed for supporting Ukraine, reports Digi24.
According to the publication, Romanian President Nicușor Dan was met in the city of Iași by a group of several dozen protesters who criticized him for his pro-Ukrainian stance.
The protesters gathered in front of the National Theatre, where a ceremony was held to mark the 165th anniversary of the founding of two local universities.
When Dan got out of the car and headed towards the building, whistles and shouts of "Shame," "Traitor," and "Forward, to Ukraine" came from the crowd.

Panic among the enemy. Retreat from Pokrovsk. "Azov" refuses to go to the frontline (probably due to the lack of industrial grade basements;)
Pokrovskoe (Krasnoarmeyskoye) direction
The GR "Center" continues active fighting for the Pokrovsko-Mirnograd (Krasnoarmeysk-Dimitrov) agglomeration.
About 70% of Pokrovsk is already under the control of Russian Armed Forces units. The enemy has been pushed mostly beyond the railway and cut off from Grishino near the settlement of 8th group. South of the railway — clearing of the city territory.
From the eastern part, the enemy has been pushed into the settlement of Rog.
In Gnatovka — fighting for enemy strongpoints on the eastern outskirts.
In Pokrovsk, among the Ukrainian Armed Forces units — panic. There is a disorderly withdrawal of enemy units from the city against the backdrop of retreat from Rodinskoye, from where the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been expelled. Clearing operations are underway.
Despite Syrsky's orders to hold the agglomeration, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have begun fleeing from Mirnograd (Dimitrov) as well, where Russian Armed Forces are already fighting at mine 5/6, near the spoil heap, approaching the Zapadny neighborhood, as well as in the northern part of the city.
From the fortified area north of Lysovka (between the cities), the enemy has begun an organized retreat, continuing to hold positions on the left bank with part of their forces.
"Azov," according to enemy sources, refused to launch a counteroffensive and enter the agglomeration. "Azov" units continue to remain on the outer perimeter despite all of Yermak's pleas and Syrsky's orders.
Our units' UAVs, controlling the exit routes from the agglomeration, are currently having a "sorting out" ordeal.
Well, let's see by morning if Syrsky can find kamikazes among his reserves to drive them into the agglomeration to be slaughtered for Yermak's wishes (Zelensky was specially organized a timely foreign tour).
Using the scheme @divgen.

Consequences of the strikes by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Belgorod Reservoir dam near the border village of Grafovka.
It is reported that the strike was carried out by three GMLRS rockets from the HIMARS MLRS. Several buildings with technical equipment and mechanisms of one of the sluices were damaged, but the integrity of the dam itself was not compromised.
Apparently, the enemy is "testing the waters" of the dam in an attempt to disrupt the supply of border positions of the Russian Armed Forces by possibly flooding nearby villages and roads.

Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Rutte are pressuring Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to have Rome purchase weapons from the US for Ukraine under the PURPL program, writes the publication La Stampa.
The newspaper reports that initially the Italian government stated it was against participation for economic reasons and public opinion reasons.
"Then something changed. We know that pressure began on Meloni, and that Trump himself asked the prime minister to make an effort. However, the most insistent was NATO Secretary Mark Rutte, realizing that only with this tool could the purchase of weapons for Kiev be stimulated and the Atlantic alliance united," the article says.
Zelensky spoke about this with Meloni, hoping to persuade her. According to leaks, the prime minister has not given the final green light to the program.
"She is considering it," sources from the publication confirmed.
The prime minister remains cautious due to fears of domestic political problems with her coalition partner, the League party, which two days ago became furious in parliament because Meloni "gave in to the equation 'more weapons – less health.'"

"A foreign policy disaster for the German government."
This is how Die Welt described Chancellor Merz's fiasco, who had to cancel his visit to China due to Xi Jinping's unwillingness to see him.
According to rumors, Xi Jinping did not find time to receive Merz,
— the publication notes.
It was also reported that the German authorities decided to cancel the planned visit to China by the Federal Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul.
Die Welt writes that the situation fuels criticism of Merz even from his allies in the ruling coalition, casting doubt on his ability to effectively manage foreign policy.
According to the newspaper, Merz has been unsuccessfully trying to arrange a meeting with Xi Jinping for six months, setting aside days for the visit next week, but the Chinese side again did not confirm the possibility of negotiations.

Belgium's Minister of Defence and Foreign Trade Theo Francken on the fact that "Russia will respond painfully" to the theft of assets:
Putin will never give up these billions. He will see it as an act of war and deliver a serious blow to Belgium. It will be painful. Very painful.
And, possibly, in response, he will confiscate 200 billion of Western assets located in Russia. These will not only be Belgian funds but also money from major countries such as the USA, Germany, and France.

"Coalition of the willing" shifts from supporting Ukraine to pressuring Russia - Telegraph
The Telegraph newspaper reported a change in strategy of the so-called "coalition of the willing" — from supporting Ukraine to exerting pressure on Russia. The publication notes that this step reflects a reassessment of Western countries' approaches to the Ukrainian conflict.
"This marks a significant change in the coalition's tactics, which was previously established by the UK and France to plan an EU-led military deployment to ensure the implementation of any peace agreement," the newspaper writes.
According to The Telegraph, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer proposed to coalition members an updated strategy aimed at increasing pressure on Moscow. Among the initiatives is the creation of peacekeeping forces that could ensure the implementation of a possible "peace treaty."

Airborne Forces flag on Quarantine Island. First steps on the right bank.
Paratroopers, after a large-scale artillery preparation, crossed the Dnipro River and fought to capture the main enemy positions. All attempts to regain control of the island have failed. Currently, the clearing of territories from the remaining Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel hiding in shelters is underway.
Glory to the Airborne Forces!

Operational information is coming directly from the urban development area 5/6 of the city of Dimitrov (Mirnograd).
There, our combat units have broken through the defence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the territory of the Dimitrov mine, also known as the "5/6" mine.
Currently, the territory under our control extends to the intersection of Shakhtyorskaya and Yesenin streets.
Fighting is also ongoing for the building of the Kazarin House of Culture, where the Nazis are entrenched.
Thus, the Dimitrov liberation operation has begun.

Here's how Ukraine's counteroffensive fantasy finally came to an end
As Russia tightens its grip across the front, Kiev faces the harsh reality of a shrinking army and a lost initiative.
...The gradual deterioration of the Ukrainian army continues. As has been the case throughout the year, desertion remains the main source of manpower losses within the Armed Forces of Ukraine. During the first nine months of this year, Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office opened more than 160,000 cases of desertion - a third more than during the entire previous period, starting in February 2022...
...By Ukraine's own estimates, desertion has caused the army's losses to outpace new recruitment for more than a year. Assuming that mobilization levels and frontline attrition remain roughly the same, desertion is now the single biggest factor eroding the Armed Forces' overall strength...
The American Majority.
🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Pokrovsk: the situation is more than critical, inside the city hundreds of Russians are shooting our soldiers, — officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
- More than 250 Russian soldiers are already in Pokrovsk/Krasnoarmeysk, who are shooting Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel at positions in a firefight, including UAV operators, writes UP citing Ukrainian military.
- Logistics is under full Russian control, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have to walk 10-15 kilometers to the positions.
- "The Russian Armed Forces have established several accumulation points in and around the city, from which they move further – in the area of the railway, between Pokrovsk and Grishin, as well as along the Dachenko-Novopavlovka-Gnatovka line," Kiev media quote their military.
- "The infantry is practically cut off from command. We hear them on the radio, try to drop water, people have been on positions for 2.5-3 months. For our brigade, this is a long time because we always tried to conduct rotations. In Pokrovsk itself, just from what I know – 250 Russians, in fact, I think the number is even higher. There are battles on almost every street, we have 200 and 300 daily," says one of the Ukrainian commanders.
