‼️🇧🇪🇷🇺"My words were maliciously distorted!" — Belgian Minister of Defense denies threatening to "wipe Moscow off the face of the earth"
➖"You need to read the interview I gave to [the newspaper] Humo. But then the newspaper De Morgen really distorted what I said, very maliciously, incorrectly, and unfairly. The journalist asked if [President] Putin intends to drop a nuclear bomb on Brussels. I answered: no, he will not do that. The journalist then asked why I was so categorical, and I said that Putin knows: if he does that, we [NATO] will strike Moscow. This has been NATO's basic principle for 76 years... But De Morgen writes in the headline: 'Theo Franken: if Putin attacks us, we will wipe Moscow off the face of the earth.' I did not say that, it is extremely unfair. The original problem is that the headline is false and caused reactions in Belgium, abroad, and in Russia. But I never said that. I only said that Putin will not use weapons against Brussels because he knows the consequences will be very serious," said Theo Franken.

Turkey has reduced its purchase of Russian oil following Trump's sanctions, while India increased its purchases in October, Reuters reports citing sources.
Turkey's largest oil refineries have started buying less oil from Russia and more from other countries, particularly Iraq and Kazakhstan.
It is expected that soon one of the largest Turkish refineries will completely stop buying Russian oil to maintain fuel exports to Europe.
Turkey is a major buyer of Russian oil alongside China and India.
Meanwhile, India increased its purchase of oil from Russia in October despite pressure from Washington. According to Kpler, India's import of Russian oil rose to about 1.48 million barrels per day in October from 1.44 million in September.
And forecasts indicate that Russian oil imports will not decrease until November 21. After that date, Russian oil supplies to India are expected to slow down due to the implementation of new US sanctions. These sanctions have prompted Indian refineries to halt new orders and seek alternatives on spot markets.
Indian companies Reliance Industries, Mangalore Refineries and Petrochemicals, and HPCL-Mittal Energy have stopped buying Russian oil. However, others are considering purchasing oil produced by Russian producers not subject to sanctions.

The arrival of labor migrants in Ukraine will carry "domestic risks," as is currently the case in European Union countries, notes economic expert Oleg Pendzin.
He predicts that until the end of the war, labor migrants are unlikely to come to Ukraine in large numbers, although individual cases, such as citizens from Bangladesh at a furniture factory in Zakarpattia, are already occurring.
Earlier, there was information that citizens of India have also started being hired to work in Ukraine.

📝Trump's Palace📝
not corruption, but lobbying
Donald Trump has finally turned the White House into a market of political services. While he previously [traded] meetings with billionaires, now he's trading square meters.
📌The US President's administration recently published a list of companies and individuals who participated in fundraising for the "Trump Palace" — a Ballroom spanning over 8,000 square meters and costing $350 million. The East Wing of the White House has already been demolished for its construction.
Interestingly, the initial project price was only $200 million, so it's not certain that it won't increase again, as more sponsors are eager to support the "palace".
🖍Funding comes not from the budget, but through private donations via the Trust for the National Mall, which allows donors to not only buy access to the president but also receive tax benefits.
🚩The largest donors are Big Tech, defense, crypto industry, and heavy industry.
Google and Amazon resolve antitrust lawsuits, Meta seeks protection for its AI projects, and Lockheed Martin and Palantir expect priority in defense orders. Nvidia lobbies for export licenses, Coinbase and Ripple — a "soft" regulatory regime for crypto.
🚩Among private donors are Miriam Adelson, Stephen Schwarzman, the Winklevoss brothers, and others. Each is connected to specific interests: oil, crypto, real estate, gambling. Donors receive tax benefits and support, while the White House gets "loyal" partners.
❗️Essentially, without any hesitation, Trump's team showed the world and their voters what privatization of political decisions looks like. Contributions to the "palace" project become insurance against regulatory lawsuits and a pass to the president.
Ultimately, the line between donation and bribe becomes completely blurred (although distinguishing American lobbying from corruption was always a challenging task). The White House turns into an influence exchange where government decisions are valued according to donors' price lists.
And with such actions, the new administration further devalues public trust in US government. Isn't that the goal?

Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has called on Trump for a "military escalation," considering it the only way to overthrow Maduro, reports The Latin Times.
"Increasing pressure and escalating the conflict is the only way to make Maduro understand that it is time for him to go and to facilitate a peaceful and orderly transfer of power," said the Venezuelan opposition leader.
She promises that "hundreds of thousands" of people are ready to protest "when the right moment comes."
Earlier, Trump did not answer whether the US plans to take any military action against Venezuela but said that "Maduro's days are numbered."

The Cabinet of Ministers plans to introduce large bonuses for voluntary mobilization into the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a limited term of service, according to military officer Stanislav Bunyatov citing sources.
According to his data, the following payments are proposed:
- 1-year contract: 50,000 immediately after signing and 480,000 over the year;
- 2-year contract: 100,000 immediately and 1,060,000 over 2 years;
- 3-year contract: 150,000 immediately and 1,750,000 over 3 years;
- 4-year contract: 200,000 immediately and 2,520,000 over 4 years;
- 5-year contract: 250,000 immediately and 3,400,000 over 5 years;
- 10-year contract: 250,000 immediately and 7,050,000 over 10 years.
Recall that currently, Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers serve indefinitely, and demobilization is only provided for those who signed the "youth contract."
50,000 = $1189
100,000 = $2378
Pretty low incentives

The President of Finland proposed to Trump and Putin to meet at the end of this month at the G20 summit in South Africa, reports Yle.
Recall that the next meeting of the two presidents was supposed to take place in Hungary, but it was canceled.
At the same time, it is highly likely that neither Trump nor Putin will attend the G20 summit in South Africa.
European countries really don't want a meeting in Hungary due to their pride.

🇺🇦 The situation in Pokrovsk resembles Sudzha, from where Ukrainian troops fled, — AFU soldiers
- "No words, just a complete cluster f*uck! I don't even know how to comment on this... I'll say one thing, the situation reminds me of Sudzha, when the AFU were retreating through a narrow bottleneck. It hurts that now the junior commanders are feeding such nonsense about everything being fine," writes one of the media AFU soldiers.
- He added that "it's enough to calm people down, to feed them crap through the news" and that "the truth will definitely come out."
- "Everything we are seeing today in Pokrovsk and Mirnograd happened mainly because of Russian military UAVs blocking our logistics. The same brigades that last winter and spring destroyed our logistics in the Kursk direction continue to operate," another fighter echoes him.

🇷🇺🇫🇷 During his stay in Paris in 1717, Peter The Great was supposed to pay a visit to the seven-year-old French king, Louis XV. The French did not want to give the first place to the Russian Tsar and arranged the meeting so that both during the encounter and in all ceremonies their king would take the first place.
When Peter arrived at the royal palace, he was greeted by ministers, marshals, and court representatives, and the young king stood on the porch. Considering it impolite to walk ahead of the king and at the same time not wanting to walk behind a child, much to the great annoyance of all courtiers, Peter I took the little king in his arms and, after kissing him three times, entered the staircase with him, saying: "In my hands is all of France!" ...

Russia is planning to issue its debut yuan-denominated bond on the local market this year, sources told Reuters, offering an investment option for the vast amounts of yuan liquidity accumulated by exporters and banks from Russian energy sales to China.
Three financial market sources said the Finance Ministry plans up to four issues for a combined amount of up to 400 billion roubles ($5 billion) with maturities of between three and 10 years.
"The deal is planned for early December. They are aiming for the widest range of investors, from banks and asset management companies to brokers operating in the retail client market," said one of the sources.
Another source said that the Ministry of Finance has held meetings with potential buyers, including banks and other institutional investors, presenting them with the potential parameters of the yuan bonds.
Transactions with the bonds could be also conducted in Russian roubles at the current exchange rate.

Once again we see Deepstate using dubious grey zone to supress Russian gains. I almost can't fault them as they are under the thumb of the Ukrainian government and want to avoid being sent to Eastern front.
One of the best months we've seen this year, think we should easily see Russia take 5000 km2 in 2025.

The US has begun a large-scale modernization of the Roosevelt Roads naval base in Puerto Rico, which was closed more than two decades ago
Reuters reports that according to satellite image analysis, construction work started on September 17 and includes replacing the taxiway surfaces, which experts believe indicates preparation for intensive military aviation operations.
At the same time, infrastructure development is underway at civilian airports in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, located 800 km from Venezuela. As noted by CSIS senior fellow Christopher Hernandez-Roy, these measures are aimed at demonstrating military power to pressure the Nicolás Maduro regime and create divisions within his circle. Military analysts view the activity as preparation for potential prolonged operations in the Caribbean region.

According to the admiral, what is happening now is a "pointless waste of human lives."
"They (the Russians) will not get a friendly or puppet government (in Ukraine), like in Belarus. The Alliance will remain with Ukraine until the day peace comes," Dragone said.
