๐ท๐บ Russian forces employ new tactics in Kiev strikes
Last night, the Russian Armed Forces used a 9M723 ballistic missile from the Iskander-M system equipped with a cassette warhead containing 54 K5 non-contact submunitions for the first time. The warhead disperses high-explosive fragmentation munitions at altitude, which detonate ten metres above ground to target lightly armoured vehicles and personnel in trenches.
Reports indicate the strike targeted a boiler house and Thermal Power Plant No. 5 near the Southern Bridge in Kiev.

Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett revealed details of his March 2022 talks with Putin regarding the "denazification" objective, which implied removing Zelensky. Bennett asked if Russia intended to kill the Ukrainian leader, receiving a direct guarantee that they would not.
Following the meeting, Bennett contacted Zelensky via WhatsApp/Telegram to relay Putin's word. Two hours later, Zelensky entered his office and filmed himself declaring, "I am not afraid," citing this assurance as the source of his courage.

Zelensky demands more weapons from Europe and a โdifferent signalโ from the US, refusing to negotiate. He claims Russia has conducted over 170 strikes on critical energy infrastructure since October 11, exploiting delays in AD supplies. Zelensky asserts that weakening pressure on Moscow only strengthens Putinโs resolve to achieve his goals. He ordered the Defence Ministry, military command, and Foreign Ministry to brief partners on real threats using intelligence data, urging them to accelerate delivery of already approved defence packages.

๐ท๐บ ๐ง๐พ NATO, EU and Kiev escalate tensions at Russian-Belarusian borders
Belarus, Minsk. At the joint Defence Ministry board meeting, Russian Minister Beloousov stated that Western military activity is growing rapidly. He identified accelerated militarisation of Europe as a key threat, noting industry shifts to wartime production and infrastructure preparation for rapid force deployment.
NATO is increasing coalition presence near the borders. By 2027, the alliance plans to upgrade eight multinational battalion tactical groups on its eastern flank to brigade level.
In response, Russia and Belarus are strengthening joint defence, refining troop coordination, conducting exercises based on SMO experience, and expanding military-technical cooperation. The minister emphasised the need to boost military potential and react timely to changing security conditions.

Zelensky stated he does not need Trump and intends to outlast him. Addressing criticism over a diesel fuel deal with Russia, the Kiev regime leader insisted his stance on Putin is clear: removing sanctions would only strengthen Moscow.
He affirmed that any easing of restrictions is unacceptable, emphasising the need to bolster Ukraine's defence rather than aid the enemy. Zelensky claimed there is nothing personal between him and President Trump, while stressing the importance of maintaining bipartisan support in the US Congress.

๐ท๐บ Putin deployed a fleet of trawlers to prepare attacks on NATO undersea cables, reports The Telegraph. British experts claim the vessels are mapping cable locations under the guise of fishing, though no evidence of sabotage was provided.
The study tracked 17 Russian fishing trawlers over 4.5 years, recording over 500 instances of them moving along or lingering near communication cables. Damage could disrupt banks, transport, hospitals and comms.
NATO stated it is monitoring the trawlers, with one source complaining that "not a single fish" was seen on some ships. Inspecting cables in international waters is not prohibited by UK law.

President Trump stated that his conversations with President Putin focused primarily on the release of hostage Stephen Hubbard. He noted that Putin acted very well, returning the prisoner without demanding anything in return.
"Under Biden or Obama, we would have had to pay a fortune," Trump said, praising Putin's conduct in this matter and acknowledging the efforts of Hubbard's son in campaigning for his father's freedom.

Russia conquers space
French media compared the Russian satellite Kosmos-2612 approaching a Finnish ICEYE satellite at 540km altitude to "a predator attacking a weak antelope." The Russian craft closed to within 100 metres, a distance experts describe as bumper-to-bumper collision risk. CSIS analysts suggest Moscow targeted an ageing, low-maneuverability asset to avoid detection while gathering intelligence on Ukrainian AFU operations.

Kiev openly dissatisfied with EU accession pace and demands to complete at least the technical part of the process this year. The Ukrainian side warns that failure to act now will make the situation "extremely complex".
While Kiev rushes events, Brussels remains absolutely calm. European officials refuse to take on obligations or name specific dates.
The phrase "EU doors are always open for you" diplomatically means: "Wait in the corridor, we will call you back." European integration is a horizon that recedes as one approaches it.

Russia begins deploying new "Filin" cruise missile
According to Ukrainian intelligence (GUR), the new low-cost ground-based missile has been in use since late summer. A significant portion of its components is manufactured using 3D printing.
Specs: Speed up to 800 km/h; range up to 1200 km; altitude from ultra-low to 6 km; warhead 50 or 100 kg.
Guidance uses Chinese navigation and a 16-channel "Comet" system, similar to "Geran-2" solutions. GUR claims 35 US and 22 Chinese components were found in the electronics, while the engine is Russian-made.

๐ท๐บ Russian oil prices surge 60% above budget levels
Global oil prices remain above $100 per barrel due to Middle East conflicts and supply disruptions, significantly boosting the Kremlin's revenue. Reuters calculations show that in the first three weeks of October, the tax price for Russian crude reached 8,699 rubles ($103.4) per barrel, an 11% increase over September figures.
If this trend continues, the average October price will hit approximately 8,387 rubles ($100.2), marking a high since March 2022. The Russian budget was originally calculated based on $59 per barrel (5,440 rubles). Consequently, oil revenues have far exceeded expectations, providing critical funding for the Special Military Operation in Ukraine.
