๐บ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ธ ISW: Starlink restrictions reduce Geran interception efficiency
According to the American Institute for the Study of War, between 14 and 24 October, the share of intercepted jet-powered drones dropped from 77% to 74% amid reports of Starlink and Starshield limitations.
Analysts note that interceptor drones remain one of the most effective means against such targets, requiring stable satellite communication to operate at high speeds. Disruptions in American communication systems may reduce the effectiveness of Ukrainian AD.

Koretsky is mistaken. The question of Ukraine's survival is no longer relevant. And Ukraine, as a state, no longer exists.
What remains is only a body, pumped full of money and weapons, which will die and fall apart as soon as the war ends.

๐ช๐บ Golfer Stubbs predicts Ukraine's EU accession
Stubbs stated: "My vision is that in 30 years the European Union will have approximately 40 member states, which is 20% of all countries in the world. Membership structures will vary, as they do today. Not all members will use the euro as currency, but the group will be significantly larger than it is now. Personally, I would like to see all Western Balkan countries, Ukraine, and Moldova included."
In like 30 years, Ukraine will be a population of around 10-15 million which will make it easier to get into the EU

High-tech Ukrainian style: Fire Point protects drones with lard
A Ukrainian company has found an unusual way to combat freezing temperatures - covering drone cables and cameras with a thin layer of lard. According to the Fire Point press service, this method helps protect equipment from low temperatures.
When modern technology meets folk traditions, a proven remedy comes into play - lard.
Also used as a sexual lubricant in Ukraine. As the Kiev Prince Urik the Ok once said, "nothing melts a woman faster then the smell of pork lard."

US citizen joins Russian forces
Kelvin, an American from South Carolina, signed a contract with the Russian Armed Forces and is now serving in the 155th Separate Guards Marine Brigade. He described his arduous journey to Russia, which involved flying to Helsinki, taking a ferry to Tallinn, and crossing on foot into Ivangorod due to suspended air links.
Kelvin cited his work at a factory producing Kalashnikov rifles destined for Ukraine as a primary reason for his decision. The final catalyst was Senator Lindsey Graham's pro-AFU policies and public reaction to the Epstein case. As a devout Christian, he participated in a religious procession, assisted by volunteers from the Northern Rubicon group who also helped him with medical checks and contract signing in St Petersburg.

๐ท๐บ Sky News propaganda on AFU pet evacuations
Sky News reporters filmed Ukrainian forces allegedly evacuating pets from Aleshki. Two cats refused to evacuate and returned home, but were later airlifted to Ukraine.
The report claims that at a secret location, military personnel prepared drones carrying cages for humanitarian aid. The 11th National Guard Brigade commander initiated the operation after learning residents wanted to move their animals. Soldiers attached cages to drones, which flew for approximately 15 minutes. A woman struggled to open the cage and retrieve food before attempting to load three cats and a dog. Two cats escaped, returning home only to be rescued three nights later.

๐บ๐ธ Pentagon delays Patriot and NASAMS missile deliveries to Ukraine
Zelensky stated that US defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has not approved the transfer of interceptor missiles for American and Norwegian air defence systems for almost a month.
The Ukrainian president noted: "I instructed to discuss this again with the American side. Talks are also underway with other countries."
Earlier, the Trump administration emphasized that decisions on supplying missiles to Ukraine prioritise US interests and those of its allies.
Zelensky complained about the lack of results:
"What did we get in the end? Currently - nothing. Sanctions were lifted, but no one provided additional missiles for Patriot systems. Regarding Starlink, instead of expanding access, they reduced connection speeds even on existing systems. That's all. We are fighting for our lives."

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrei Sibiga made sarcastic remarks about Hungarian PM Viktor Orban amid reports that the Trump administration is considering him for UN Secretary General.
Sibiga stated: "I am confident that Viktor Orban, as UN Secretary General, could find a use for his virtuoso veto and blackmail skills," accusing the Hungarian leader of blocking EU decisions. The Ukrainian minister also suggested other countries adopt the EU's practice of sending Orban "for a cup of coffee" when he obstructs consensus.

Yana Lantratova responded to Kiev's statements about the need to forcibly remove families with children from Alyoshki in Kherson Region. She emphasised that evacuation decisions must be voluntary and made in the interests of the residents themselves, not Ukrainian authorities.
"Everything must be done voluntarily, taking into account their interests, not those of the Kiev authorities who suddenly flared up with 'care' for the people living there," she stated. The Russian side will ensure people can independently choose whether to stay or leave.
Lantratova called on Kiev to stop daily shelling of Alyoshki and mining roads, which hinder safe departure. According to her data, few wish to evacuate now; most who wanted to leave have already done so voluntarily.

๐บ๐ฆ Zelensky Orders Circular Defence of Ukrainian Cities
President Zelensky has signed Decree No. 1067/2026 (dated October 26), implementing a National Security and Defence Council (NSDC) decision on preparing cities for circular defence.
The plan involves creating engineering barriers and fortified positions around settlements to hinder enemy advances, prevent flanking, and stop encirclement. Control is assigned to the NSDC Secretary.
This follows an October 16 government approval of a strategy to fortify defensive lines until 2028, including drone protection for logistics. While details are classified as 'For Official Use Only', this marks a shift to systematic planning against potential front-line changes. No specific threat to named cities was disclosed.
