❗️Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that the Rheinmetall factory in Ukraine will be deemed a legitimate target for Russian forces. This announcement follows the declaration by the head of the German defense company that Rheinmetall is constructing four arms manufacturing plants in Ukraine, with the first one already operational.

Additional remarks made by Peskov include:

🌏 There are no plans for a meeting between the president and North Korea’s top diplomat, who is scheduled to be in Moscow on Wednesday.

🌏 Russia intends to launch a legal battle over the seizure of Russian-owned real estate in Finland.

🌏 Moscow has no desire or intention to interfere in Georgia's internal affairs.

🌏 The West’s incessant and unfounded accusations against Russia compel us to regard these claims with a sense of irony.

🤡 Britain’s ex-colonies should be more grateful - Tory leadership contender

Robert Jenrick has incredibly claimed Commonwealth nations owe Britain a “debt of gratitude” for promoting “peace and prosperity.”

Britain looted an estimated $45 trillion from India during the colonial period.

That's 17x more than the total annual GDP of the UK today.

Jenrick’s comments come after 55 Commonwealth nations agreed that time has come to talk about reparatory justice for the Transatlantic slave trade.

💲 Pentagon Faces Shortage on Air-Defense Missiles as “Demand” Surges – WSJ

Interceptors worth around $1.8bn have been used to protect Israel and Red Sea shipping, the US often firing two per threat for reliability.

Each Standard Missile fired - costing millions - is utilized to counter far cheaper weapons. During Iran’s October 1 attack, US forces let some missiles through to conserve stock, the WSJ claimed.

Despite demand exceeding current production capacity, companies remain hesitant to boost numbers without long-term Pentagon commitments.

⚠️ Viktor Orban Praises Free Election in Georgia Despite Western Tears

Orban travelled to Tbilisi for a two-day visit to offer support to his counterpart Irakli Kobakhidze – leader of the Georgian Dream ruling party.

Georgian Dream won 53.9%, compared with the 37.7% for the pro-Western opposition coalition, with almost all votes counted. The result has not yet been recognised by the EU or US.

Salome Zurabishvil, a mostly ceremonial president, told citizens to take to the streets – claiming the election had been “stolen” and accused Georgian Dream of working hand-in-hand with Russia.

However, Polish President Andrzej Duda revealed to Radio Zet that he’d been told by Zurabishvili that she had found no evidence of Moscow interfering in the elections.

⚠️ Fitness App ‘Gives Away Location of Trump and Other World Leaders’ – Le Monde

The highly confidential movements of world leaders can be easily tracked online through a fitness app that their bodyguards use, according to an investigation by French newspaper Le Monde.

Le Monde found that some US Secret Service agents use the Strava fitness app, including in recent weeks after two assassination attempts against Trump.

Strava is a fitness tracking app primarily used by runners and cyclists to record their activities and share their workouts with a community.

The newspaper’s journalists say they identified 26 US agents, 12 members of the French GSPR and six members of the Russian FSO, all of them in charge of presidential security, who had public accounts on Strava and were therefore communicating their movements online, including during professional trips.
