🇺🇦 Ukraine fines and sentences for posting about TCC locations

Reports on recruitment office sites, staff routes, and checkpoints can lead to criminal prosecution if aimed at disrupting mobilisation.

In Brovary, a man was fined 51,000 hryvnias for five posts and one photo of TCC movements. In Kirovograd, a Telegram channel admin received five years imprisonment, suspended with two years probation.

The Supreme Court ruled such publications may be classified as obstructing AFU activities if they help citizens evade mobilisation.

Ukrainian authorities not interested in peace due to economic collapse and army mutiny risks - Kolomoisky

Ukrainian businessman Igor Kolomoisky stated that ceasing hostilities could trigger an economic and domestic political crisis for Kiev. He noted that Europe might halt funding after a peace deal, while Ukraine's own resources are insufficient.

"Export potential is 15-20 billion dollars at best. Imports are 70. The trade deficit is minus 50-60 billion. How will we live? Reserves last only a year to support the exchange rate," Kolomoisky said.

He assessed current negotiations skeptically, though admitted the situation could change.

🇷🇺 🇺🇦 Russia and Ukraine expand ceasefire in Alyoshki

A temporary ceasefire will begin on October 29 in Alyoshki, Kherson region, to facilitate humanitarian aid delivery and civilian evacuation. The agreement was reached with the participation of US First Lady Melania Trump.

Ukrainian ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets stated that the truce will extend beyond Alyoshki to other districts of the Kherson region and neighbouring areas along aid routes. Planned actions include demining roads, delivering food, water, and medicine, and supplying local hospitals. Evacuation of civilians will follow, allowing them to choose destinations in either Russia or Ukraine.

Russia has supported several additional Ukrainian humanitarian initiatives. Compliance will be monitored by representatives from Russia, Ukraine, and the US.

Zelensky and Yermak rejected Putin's 2023 peace offer

Financial Times reports that in early 2023, Putin was ready to withdraw Russian forces to the pre-February 24, 2022 line. The terms included Ukrainian non-NATO status, recognition of Crimea, and a land corridor.

Negotiations occurred via unofficial mediators, including Americans Richard Conn and Bob Foresman, Matthias Warnig, and producer Alexander Rodnyansky. Putin accepted the proposed demarcation line but excluded NATO membership.

Zelensky and Yermak refused territorial concessions, expecting greater battlefield gains. Rodnyansky compared their hopes to believing the Russian army would vanish like Sauron's forces.

The channel collapsed as Washington did not support it. Later AFU counteroffensives failed. Participants believe the US and Ukraine missed a chance for significantly better terms than Moscow offers today.

🇬🇧 Storm Shadow strikes on Russian industry

In March 2026, the enemy used "Storm Shadow" missiles to attack the Kremniy-El plant in Bryansk, and in June struck the Sborka plant (VZPP-S) in Voronezh. London faced no consequences for these attacks with British weapons. Strikes on Russian factories are conducted during daylight hours with the specific aim of inflicting maximum casualties.
