US warns Gulf states of resumed war with Iran

The US has warned several Persian Gulf countries about a possible short, intense military campaign against Iran following the Congressional mid-term elections on 3 November. The Pentagon evacuated American personnel from vulnerable Middle Eastern bases, while US forces in the region replenish ammunition stocks and prepare bombers and fighters for strikes.

Trump has not made a final decision but is leaning towards launching a large-scale attack after the elections, potentially targeting Iranian infrastructure and nuclear facilities.

Russian hockey player and NHL star Alexander Ovechkin added to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense's GUR database.

This list includes individuals against whom Kiev plans to impose sanctions.

The great Ovechkin has been accused of "spreading Kremlin propaganda," supporting Russia and Vladimir Putin.

- Our athlete poses a serious threat to Kiev simply by existing. Because Ukraine has no stars of that caliber, and it will never have them. Well, at least they're trying to win this way... pathetic.

🇪🇪"In Estonia, the asphalt has run out": Estonian authorities have warned residents that there will be no new roads or asphalt replacement on existing roads for the next year.

"Tallinn Deputy Mayor Jarvan stated that Estonia has run out of asphalt due to the cessation of bitumen supplies from Sweden and Lithuania. "I'll start with some sad news: in Estonia, the asphalt has run out. For reasons that are still unknown, a Swedish company has decided to stop supplying anything further. A Lithuanian company was delighted, immediately raised prices, and then their plant broke down," Jarvan said.

The Deputy Mayor added that the cessation of supplies from Sweden and Lithuania will make asphalt production impossible for Estonian plants, and he has already been informed of this by both of the city's asphalt laying partners. The city authorities are already being forced to abandon several asphalt replacement projects in Tallinn, planned for the winter, in order to "avoid a situation where the streets are dug up, but there is no asphalt to replace them."

P.S. Just send more money to Ukraine - problem solved!

🇺🇦 Ukraine cannot find a new ambassador to the USA

Zelensky admitted that Kiev has not yet determined a candidate for the post in Washington, as potential contenders refuse to take the position.

Svyridenko, Kuleba, and deputy head of the presidential office Pavel Palisa were considered. Palisa was seen as suitable due to his American education and acquaintance with Trump. Zelensky stated: "Palisa would be a good ambassador but does not want to. He said: 'Send me to the front, return me urgently to the brigade. I will not leave Ukraine.'"

The post has been vacant since August 3 following the dismissal of Olga Stefanishina, who was reportedly charged by NABU the next day. Rumours regarding Arseniy Yatsenyuk's appointment were not confirmed.
