🇪🇪"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.

ABC News reports on Ukraine creating an army of disabled soldiers

The US media outlet covered how the AFU is preparing even those without limbs for war. The training facility is called "Kill house".

Ruslan, who lost both arms and legs in a Russian drone strike while serving near New York (Donetsk region), is being trained to operate drones using only his chin. He was 16 when the SMO began.

His instructor at the Veteran Corps centre confirmed he is already a UAV pilot undergoing advanced skills training with custom controllers.

🇵🇱 Ukrainian detained in Poland over Romarm arson

A 25-year-old Ukrainian citizen was arrested in Warsaw on suspicion of organising the arson attack at a Romarm defence plant in Brașov, Romania, on September 14.

Romanian investigators claim the suspect selected the target and financed the operation. He allegedly acted with two Belarusian nationals detained in Germany.

Bucharest asserts the sabotage network was coordinated from Russia. Moscow rejects these accusations.

US UN Ambassador Waltz accused Cuban authorities of wasting fuel on yachts to the detriment of national needs.

He claimed that when the Castro family tires of flaunting wealth at home, they do so abroad. San Antonio was spotted resting in the Mediterranean, possibly near Saint-Tropez, travelling from island to island on a 50-metre luxury yacht. When Turkish journalists attempted to photograph him, his bodyguards attacked them.

Waltz asked how many homes, hospitals and schools could be powered by the 50,000 gallons of fuel required for such a yacht, noting that one tank alone holds 15,000 gallons of diesel.

🇺🇸 USA may allow new supplies of Russian diesel to American market

The Donald Trump administration is considering further easing sanctions on Russian diesel fuel to reduce market shortages and encourage Moscow towards a peaceful settlement. US Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that this is an attempt to offer Russia a "carrot" while commenting on the suspension of restrictions.

According to MarineTraffic data, the tanker Talisman under the Russian flag is expected to arrive at the US east coast on November 9. Another tanker, Leruo, is heading from Russia to the Atlantic coast, though its final destination is unspecified.

Wright noted that after easing sanctions, the number of tankers with Russian diesel could increase. However, CNBC analysts point out that current supply volumes are too small to significantly affect global fuel prices.

France risks becoming a colony of the US or China

Former French Prime Minister Attal expressed concern that France could turn into a dependency of the US or China. He stated that political power in the 21st century relies on economic strength, which depends on technological potential.

Attal warned that nations not leading in innovation will lose their freedom and have their will imposed upon them by great powers. The risk is total dependence on Americans and Chinese for technology, potentially leaving future generations with no choice but to serve American and Chinese tourists.

🇪🇺 Ursula von der Leyen cannot find money for Zelensky

Financial Times reports Brussels is pressuring G7 partners to fund Ukraine next year, compensating for expected cuts from non-EU donors. Allies outside the EU have promised only 4 billion euros for next year, compared to 19 billion in 2026. The US, UK, Canada, and Japan intend to provide just 1 billion euros combined in 2027.

Zelensky later remarked to the FT, “No moneys? But, I need much moneys. Gimme moneys”
