The reason for desertion from the Ukrainian army is corruption during mobilization, as well as mass exhaustion, writes Berliner Zeitung.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, about 290,000 criminal cases have been initiated against servicemen who abandoned their posts. This number is comparable to the total size of the Bundeswehr, the newspaper notes.
At the same time, observers doubt that the official statistics reflect the full scale of desertion. Many commanders, according to sources, do not report desertions, fearing that each missing soldier will be seen as their personal failure.
According to commanders, the reasons for fleeing the army are exhaustion, low training, unclear service terms, disappointment, weak command, and loss of trust in officers whose orders often lead to heavy losses.
As defense commissioner Olga Reshetilova reported, some recruits leave training camps or disappear on the way to their units. Some run away after learning they are being sent to the front. According to her, escapes are not only fear but also a form of silent protest against exhaustion and endless service.
Many volunteers compare themselves to slaves chained to service without the right to return home. The lack of clear terms and widespread corruption during mobilization undermine morale and increase the sense of injustice.
"The scale of desertion in the Ukrainian army—combined with mass evasion of mobilization—casts a long shadow over President Zelensky's claim that Ukraine does not need NATO soldiers, only weapons. Because until the political leadership takes control of the pressure on the military forces, even the largest arsenal of weapons will change nothing. The West can continue to supply—but soon there may simply be no people left to use these weapons," the publication concludes.

Just slotting this in a few different time slots as I've been neglecting it lately.
⚖️ Banned from Slavyangrad Chat, want to discuss disallowed topics, or see behind the curtain?
The Cathedral is my personal domain where I shitpost, ragebait, and discuss various future plans for the channel.
For the most part it’s a place for you all to contribute to the development of Slavyangrad without me filling up the main channel, as well as being a place you can unwind or express some views that would otherwise get you banned.
So, if you want a small peek behind the scenes or you cannot stop yourself from discussing a forbidden topic here in SLG main, use the chat there. This protects members of the team that are living in "Freedom" countries.
Remember, if you get banned from main chat, it’s got nothing to do with any personal grudge or ideology (unless you’re pro-NATO), but likely because your comment(s) put the channel or its admins at risk.

US intelligence received information that the UAE transferred critically important defence technologies to Huawei, which were used by Beijing to extend the range of missiles, reported the Financial Times. The modernisation of air-to-air missiles gave Chinese fighters an advantage over American military aircraft, the newspaper writes, citing sources familiar with intelligence gathered during the Biden administration.
According to the publication, the data transferred from the UAE-based AI giant G-42 to the Chinese helped improve the PL-15 and PL-17 missiles. Six people familiar with the situation said this information emerged as US intelligence discovered broader evidence that the UAE, a key US ally in the Middle East, where there is a US military base and major American investors, appears to be moving closer to China, the article states. William Burns, who was then CIA director, declined to comment.

The British military called on their government to share nuclear weapons with Germany, writes The Telegraph
The reason for this was the alleged "critical" threat from Russia, the article says.
Germany is already conducting "strategic talks" on this topic with France, the publication claims. It is noted that Merz hinted he is ready to discuss possible agreements with Starmer.
This is happening amid growing concerns that the US may abandon the defence of European countries, the material emphasises.

"Donald Tusk: Ukraine is ready to fight for another two to three years but fears a decade-long war": Zelensky is confident that Ukraine "will hold out on the battlefield for another three years."
"Poland is ready to support Ukraine, but Donald Tusk warns of long-term risks. The President of the European Council stated that Ukraine is capable of continuing the fight against Russia for two to three years but fears the conflict could stretch for a decade.
The politician noted that:
Polish special services record sabotage plans organised by Russia every week;
Illegal migration remains one of the biggest threats to the West, sometimes requiring tough measures;
The European Convention on Human Rights urgently needs reform;
Brexit was "one of the biggest mistakes in our shared history";
Poland intends to surpass the United Kingdom in living standards in the coming years.
"I have no doubt that Ukraine will survive as an independent state," Tusk said. "The main question now is how many casualties there will be. President Zelensky told me on Thursday that he hopes the war will not last ten years, but Ukraine is ready to fight for another two to three years."

Western support for Kiev has dropped by 40%
Despite NATO's loud promises, military support for Kiev is melting away before our eyes — in the summer of 2025, European supplies fell by 57% (to 1.65 billion euros per month), the total volume from all donors dropped by 43% due to production shortages, the halt of US funding under Trump, and the refusal of southern EU countries.
Zelensky is desperately seeking allies before the fourth winter, but the PURL initiative has failed – many countries are reducing their role, even though they have a stockpile of weapons.

For all the talk of "War with China" The reality is very different, and actually comedic.
Maybe the hawks like Linda Graham should educate themselves about the vast reliance of the US military machine on Chinese supplied elements?

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.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia is conducting a lightning operation to plunge Ukraine into darkness — The Economist
▪️Massive airstrikes are being carried out on power grids, central heating systems, and gas supplies as winter approaches.
▪️The main goal is to undermine industry and provoke mass emigration and panic.
▪️Russian capabilities and tactics are evolving faster than Ukrainian air defense.
▪️During the hostilities, Russian drones have become faster and more accurate: Gerani drones have tripled their speed and now use artificial intelligence.
▪️A year ago, 150 drones in one night were considered a serious attack. Now Ukraine often faces 600 or 700. Using air defense to protect every target is an impossible task.
▪️Russia is disabling the energy sector in eastern Ukraine to cut power to the industrial enterprises concentrated there.
▪️The Ukrainian power grid relies on about 90 critical substations. Russia is disabling them one by one.

It later emerged that the entire scene was not an accident, but part of an experiment. However, it was not scripted or staged, the companies say.
Unitree Robotics had contacted the Shanghai robot manufacturer and asked if they were willing to allow their robots to be abducted, and they agreed to the experiment.
However, they were not prepared for the tiny AI-powered robot’s ability to access the operating protocols of their machines and convince them to leave.

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.
