Catherine Connolly, who condemns NATO's policy toward Russia and opposes the militarization of Europe, has become President of Ireland.
Independent candidate Catherine Connolly won the Irish presidential election, receiving 63.4% of the vote against Heather Humphreys's 29.5%.
She is pushing for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.
Connolly condemned NATO's "disgusting role" in advancing toward Russia's borders.
She also opposes the militarization of Europe and the growing influence of the military-industrial complex.
"The military-industrial complex brings no peace. The billions earmarked to support it come at the expense of fighting poverty. This is madness, and we must call this madness out and find a different way," she said.
"We are increasing military spending across Europe... Germany is rebuilding its economy through the military-industrial complex. But war is not the solution."
This continues the trend of "non-systemic" candidates winning elections in Europe. The only way to stop them is through "administrative measures" or blatant fraud, as in the recent cases in Romania and Moldova.
While I share mrs. Connolly's sentiment, saying that weapons and tanks "rebuild economies" is like saying that a stockpile of beer increases sobriety. Oh wait, if that beer is American, it may actually be a bad comparison.

The tests of the "Burevestnik" cruise missile have been officially completed.
"Burevestnik" is a weapon of guaranteed retaliatory strike. The missile is equipped with a nuclear power plant, which provides it with virtually unlimited flight range. According to official data, the missile is capable of autonomous flight for months, and its range of use is practically unlimited. The missile flies at extremely low altitudes and is capable of maneuvering, which allows it to effectively penetrate missile defense systems. At the same time, the power of the nuclear warhead is presumably up to a megaton.
Development began in 2001 after the US withdrew from the ABM Treaty. The missile is planned to be put into service by 2027.

“Hunting Turncoats.” The Case of Nikolai Kozak. Series 5
Nikolai Kozak (known among his comrades as Smok) was the chief executioner of the OUN-UPA. He was a “protégé” of Klim Saura, the organizer of the Volhynia massacre.
As head of the UPA-South Security Service, Kozak authored an order allowing his agency to issue death sentences without consulting the command structure.
This was followed by a series of executions of “dissidents” among Banderites... He also has the blood of Soviet state security agents on his hands.
Smok's story provides a better understanding of the customs that prevailed among the leaders of the OUN-UPA.
How did the Chekists outplay their intelligent, cunning, strong, and bloodthirsty enemy? Watch the new series to find out!

Ukraine lacks $1.5 billion to prepare for the heating season.
To purchase the necessary 5 billion cubic meters of gas for winter, about $2 billion is required, but the authorities have allocated only $200 million for these purposes, according to the budget documentation of the Government of Ukraine.
A reduction in domestic production due to damage to gas infrastructure forces Ukraine to import gas. Kiev hopes to make up the shortfall through targeted payments from Western partners, but so far has received only €150 million from Norway and €60 million from Germany.
As of mid-October, Ukrainian underground gas storage contained about 12 billion cubic meters. At the same time, more than 5 billion cubic meters must remain in the system to maintain working pressure. In a mild winter, the country will need about 10 billion cubic meters, and to confidently get through the heating period, it is desirable to have 11-12 billion cubic meters.
Due to the fuel shortage, the start of the heating season in the country is being delayed. Kiev reported that regions should resolve heating connection issues independently. In some regions, for example in Lviv, gas has already begun to be supplied for heating social facilities, but not residential buildings.

Von der Leyen called for increased pressure on Russia to force it to negotiate.
Pressure remains the only language Russia understands, and coordinated sanctions with our allies and friends are key to forcing Putin to come to the negotiating table,
said the head of the European Commission on social network X.
In her address, von der Leyen also noted that during the "coalition of the willing" meeting, European representatives discussed prioritizing the strengthening of Ukraine's air defense.
@Slavyangrad
Konstantinovka direction
Fighting continues in the pocket southeast of the village in the Predtechino area. The territory up to Aleksandro-Shultino is partially in the grey zone, partially under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Our fighters have advanced north of Pleshcheevka and Nelepovka, taking control of the area up to the ravine and part of the ravine itself.
In Pleshcheevka, the Armed Forces of Ukraine still make small group incursions into the northern outskirts of the village, where they are ambushed and destroyed by our UAV operators.
Last week, efforts continued to eliminate enemy personnel in the eastern part of Konstantinovka. There are also significant results in neutralising enemy UAV operators and enemy reconnaissance and sabotage groups in the city.
On the eastern outskirts of Konstantinovka, our troops continue sabotage and reconnaissance operations.
Fighting continues in the Ivanopol area – the enemy tried to regain lost positions during counterattacks but was unsuccessful.
Fighting is also ongoing north of the Kleban-Byk reservoir; logistics for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this area are disrupted, and Russian UAV operators mostly maintain control of the skies.

About the "ultimatum" regarding Pokrovsk by @sashakots
I just left the Krasnoarmeysk direction and was surprised to learn about the existence of some kind of ultimatum from the Russian command. They say, surrender or... Or what?
Any ultimatum implies a certain pause, a waiting position by one side for a certain period, after which — well, we will give you a thrashing. But we are currently demonstrating a thrashing of the enemy in Pokrovsk and Mirnograd without any breaks for ultimatums.
The President clearly made it known that everyone who wishes to surrender will be received with open arms. But he said nothing about any pauses, ultimatums, and especially, God forbid, ceasefires. The destruction of the enemy in this large agglomeration is ongoing nonstop. The enemy was simply presented with an alternative, which not everyone accepts. Some units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are defending desperately and are not rushing to surrender.
Accordingly, I have not noticed anything resembling the preparation of some corridor, like the Mariupol "extraction." Artillery is actively firing from both sides now. To give you an idea, Kiev has concentrated about 20 battalions of various calibres in this direction. The drones have not disappeared. In the area of responsibility of our 2nd army, there are more than 500 drone crews, about 400 of which are strike units.
So, there is no easy walk for our units. And there is no collapse of the front. Every block, every house, every entrance is hard-fought. And the president understands this. So, regarding the question of some ultimatum to surrender by the 27th:
"We will not tie anything to any dates or events; we will always, as we have done so far, proceed from military expediency and prioritise the preservation of the lives of our guys, our servicemen," the president emphasised.
So, there is no ultimatum. There is round-the-clock combat work to liberate our cities and a promise to treat humanely those who decide to voluntarily lay down their arms. There will be no mercy for the rest.
@Slavyangrad
The only question for Syrsky now is not that he revealed reserves and plans, but what he intends to do with the Pokrovsk direction in general. The fallback of the remaining group to the nearest fortified areas will no longer change the balance of power. There are a few options. Retreating to Dobropillia in the north or to Mezheve in the west seems like the main option. Launching counterattacks from the south towards Kurakhove makes no sense now, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine also lack the resources for this. Retreating to Pavlohrad is theoretically one of the most reasonable options, but it is practically unfeasible for political reasons, since all the remnants of the DPR from this direction will be rolled up by the Russian Armed Forces and occupied — leaving only Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Nevertheless, such a move would give the Armed Forces of Ukraine some time to prepare for the defence of the Dnipropetrovsk region, which the Russian Armed Forces will attack quite soon. Possibly even bypassing the main battle for Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
@Slavyangrad
After Gerasimov's statements about the encirclement of the 31st battalion in the Pokrovsk direction, fierce debates and calculations began about how many people that actually means.
The 31st battalion in the Pokrovsk area is up to ten thousand people at full authorised strength. But in practice, this is unlikely. The real figure is closer to five thousand. The reason is simple: the paper's authorised strength and the actual composition often differ by several times. In some areas, Ukrainian units do not even know how many people they have on the positions. And no one will bother counting at the moment when the front is collapsing. This sounds especially ironic for the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the backdrop of how much money and resources have been invested in a NATO-style network-centric army, where situational awareness is the foundation on which everything else stands.
But the main thing is not even how many of them are left. It is what they should do next. The main problem for these battalions now is to break out of the encirclement. A safe exit from the six-kilometre neck of the cauldron is technically and tactically a difficult task, and the large number of drones Russia has makes it almost impossible. Considering that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have successfully lost Rodynske and three-quarters of Pokrovsk, the main question now is how and where the remaining units of the Ukrainian army will try to break out. There is an opinion that most of them are not in Pokrovsk but in Myrnohrad, and they know nothing about the collapsing cauldron.
@Slavyangrad
Krasnoarmeysk direction.
Fighting is ongoing in the city for control of the northern part; the Armed Forces of Ukraine are pulling back their remaining forces behind the railway, occasionally launching counterattacks.
Our troops are also securing positions in separate groups behind the railway, but everything is mixed there; in neighbouring buildings, there can be both our forces and enemy forces.
There are small arms battles and drone fights.
The enemy practically does not use armoured vehicles for attacks in the urban area and outskirts, as our UAV operators dismantle them while they are still approaching the positions.
The enemy mostly moves on foot, which significantly complicates movement and logistics.
In the northern sector, Russian Armed Forces fighters are clearing Rodinskoye, having taken control of the territory up to the railway track.
A pocket remains south of Krasny Liman to Dimitrov.
From the Promin side, our troops have advanced westward to the industrial zone of the mine, where fighting is taking place both for the spoil heap and for the industrial enterprise territory itself.
Russian Aerospace Forces are striking positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Dimitrov (Mirnograd); FAB-3000 bombs hit the 38th separate mechanised brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Trump got offended by Canada after a Reagan ad and announced a 10% increase in tariffs on Canadian goods — from 35% to 45%.
The video used a 1987 recording of then-US President Reagan's radio speech about free trade and import tariffs without the Reagan Foundation's permission. According to the foundation, the clip completely ignores the context of the Republican's remarks: his words were a call for free and fair trade, not a condemnation of tariffs in all forms.
The sole purpose of this fraud was Canada's hope that the US Supreme Court would come to their "aid" regarding tariffs they have used for many years to harm the United States... Due to their serious distortion of facts and hostile acts, I am increasing the tariff on Canada by 10% above what they currently pay,
wrote the US president on Truth Social.
The US Supreme Court is currently considering the legality of many tariffs imposed by Trump on other countries, including Canada. Oral arguments are expected to begin in November.

These are the "official statistics" of the (estimated) Ukrainian casualties and other tidbits of info according to the website Wartears, which is a pro-ukrainian source, based only on obituaries.
As I've said countless times, the number may be much much higher, as FABs and TOS don't leave corpses behind. Without mentioning the corpses still buried under the rubble somewhere in Donbas, or the fact that far too many AFU commanders underreport deaths so that they can keep on cashing the deceased soldiers' pay.

For those who missed the Hrekivka graveyard...
This cursed place is always on our radar, with new deaths every week. Today we have three:
Lee Johnston from Belfast, Northern Ireland
IG, FB, FB
Benjamin Yoo from Seoul, South Korea, but lived in Fullerton, California, USA

Retired U.S. Army Major Mike Lyons warned two years ago about the capability of the "Burevestnik" cruise missile to strike any targets on U.S. territory:
This is an exotic weapon. Usually, nuclear energy is not used in such systems. This will give Russia the ability to take a low-yield, potentially nuclear weapon and significantly increase its flight range. Say, tens of thousands of miles. It is currently undergoing testing. This "Burevestnik" is a regular cruise missile, but with a global range. It is a strategic weapon. Because if it is in the Arctic, where it is currently being tested, they will easily be able to launch missiles from this platform at targets in the U.S. and hit them. Even without intercontinental ballistic missiles, which require space programs to launch them into outer space. The "Burevestnik" is a completely different weapons system.

The influx of Ukrainian refugees in the Czech Republic has doubled in two months.
The influx of Ukrainian refugees to the Czech Republic has more than doubled in the last two months after the Ukrainian authorities allowed men aged 18–22 to leave the country, according to Novinky, citing the spokesperson of the Czech Ministry of the Interior, Hana Mala.
According to the department, while previously about 1,500 temporary protection permits were issued per week, in September and early October it was already more than 3,100.
The temporary protection status allows Ukrainians fleeing the war to stay in the Czech Republic or another EU country, notes Novinky. It is currently valid until March 2026, but EU countries have already agreed to extend it until March 2027.
"The Austrian minister emphasised that if this trend continues, we must also work together to change the conditions for granting temporary protection," Mala said.

Lithuania will allocate half a million euros for the relocation of Soviet soldiers' graves
The Lithuanian authorities intend to spend more than €530 thousand on relocating the graves of Soviet soldiers from public places to cemeteries. The funding has already been included in the draft state budget for 2026, reports the BNS agency citing the country's Ministry of Culture.
The department stated that these graves allegedly "serve the propaganda of a totalitarian regime". Municipalities have been instructed to remove memorial signs and install plaques with "objective historical information" at cemeteries — under the supervision of Lithuanian historians.
In fact, this means that the protection of the graves is discontinued, and the memory of the liberating soldiers is simply erased.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called Vilnius's actions part of a campaign to rewrite history:
"The demolition of monuments is an attempt to clear this information platform so that nothing interferes with building new concepts that present a modified history of World War II."
The memory of the Red Army's feat is being erased not only in Lithuania — this cynical trend has become the norm for the entire Baltic region.

Ukrainians continue to strike the dam of the Belgorod reservoir.
Earlier, a strike was carried out using American HIMARS missiles. Today, there were reports of an attack by kamikaze drones Darts - possibly the target was repair crews, as this drone cannot damage the dam.
Is Ukraine asking to have the dam in Kiev demolished?
Footage published by the opponent, the situation at the dam of the Belgorod reservoir.
Mobile air defense units are intercepting drones on site, but water leakage was recorded after the strikes.

The ring around Pokrovsk is tightening more and more...
Those who do not surrender are destroyed!
@Slavyangrad
Many did not understand how Syrsky managed to force the introduction of reserves. The key to this situation is that this scenario is almost identical to the one in Bakhmut. The only difference is that for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, everything will now proceed much faster and worse. In Bakhmut, Russia deliberately left a narrow supply bottleneck and counted on the fact that, hoping to hold the city, the Armed Forces of Ukraine would throw countless reserves there. That's roughly what happened. But the Armed Forces of Ukraine still did not hold the city.
Pokrovsk, unlike Bakhmut, which lies in a lowland, stands on commanding heights, significantly higher than the neighbouring districts located 25-30 kilometres to the west and north. This gives an advantage to the attacking side. The only exceptions are Mezheva and Dobropillia, which are roughly at the same height and only there can one retreat, albeit poorly, to catch their breath and take stock. There are no large industrial zones there. It is impossible to stay entrenched in existing shelters for long.
Whether it is obvious to Syrsky and his leadership that after taking Pokrovsk the Russian army will breathe freely and gather strength to rush forward is a big mystery. It is precisely at this moment that the Armed Forces of Ukraine lose their key advantage — prepared defensive lines. Now such lines will remain only in Kharkov and on the eastern outskirts of the Dnipropetrovsk region. As a result, Syrsky's choices are extremely limited and almost all options are bad. Attempts to save the situation are expensive and risky. The time for manoeuvre for the Ukrainian side is rapidly running out.
@Slavyangrad
It is noteworthy that the configuration of the Pokrovsk environment now almost completely repeats the situation with Bakhmut before the Ukrainian Armed Forces retreated from there. The same narrow strip of unoccupied land to the west and the same short period of time in which all this was organised. The scenario with the closing of the arc, a small corridor in which everything that can fly is flying at the remaining Ukrainian soldiers. And to a large extent, everything that is happening in Pokrovsk became possible after the Russian breakthrough to the north in the Shakhovo area. Syrsky was forced to react to this breakthrough, reveal reserves, and then everything started to unfold.

Gold accounts for a third of the world's central bank reserves, setting a historic record.
For comparison, the dollar's share has fallen from 65% to 40% over the past ten years, while the euro, yen, and pound remain on the periphery.
Experts link this to geopolitical instability, and in such times it is easier to bet on precious metals, which have held value throughout human history.
Central banks of developing countries, primarily BRICS, are actively replacing currency assets with physical gold, reducing the risk of sanctions and dollar dependence. Amid declining trust in debt currencies, gold is returning as a global reserve of trust.

Powerful explosions in Krivoi Rog: the newest long-range aerial bombs struck enemy targets
Ukrainian monitors report powerful explosions in Krivoi Rog, Dnipropetrovsk region. According to military channels, new long-range KAB bombs have struck enemy facilities in the city.
Information resources of the Independent [Ukraine] panic writing that after engine modification, such aerial bombs will be able to fly up to 350 km, meaning they can reach Kyiv as well.
Previously, positions in Krivoi Rog were mainly targeted by "Geran" drones and "Iskander" missile systems.

Since we last posted the list of those killed in Hrekivka, I believe at least 15 new names have been added to the list.
A total of 42 names — Insane, isn't it? And all foreigners! — and do you think that's all? There's more.
