🇪🇺 Western allies sharply cut Ukraine funding

According to the European Commission forecast, aid to Kiev from non-EU countries will drop nearly fivefold in 2027, from €19bn to €4bn. The US, UK, Canada and Japan are collectively prepared to allocate only €1bn.

Facing a looming deficit, Brussels is considering new debt borrowings and pressuring London, Tokyo and Ottawa for additional funds. The main financial burden of supporting Kiev risks falling on EU member states.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸 US oil firms may return to Russia

Moscow and Washington are discussing major economic deals within the framework of Ukrainian settlement negotiations, according to Financial Times.

Projects under consideration include resuming joint oil extraction in Sakhalin, Russian oil supplies to Europe via the Druzhba pipeline, and cooperation in LNG and titanium sectors. Sources note these potential deals serve as an additional incentive for reaching a peace agreement. However, Washington links full restoration of economic ties to the end of the conflict.

The Pentagon has published a remarkable image of China's secretive Shenlong spaceplane in orbit, captured by a Maxar satellite and featured in its newly released 2026 space threat assessment.

The reusable, uncrewed spacecraft launches aboard a rocket and returns to Earth on a runway, similar to the U.S. military's X-37B.

China has conducted four orbital missions since 2020, demonstrating the ability to deploy and maneuver near other objects in space.

The DIA warns that technologies used for satellite inspection and proximity operations could also support anti-satellite capabilities.

China has disclosed few details about the spacecraft's missions or capabilities.

❗️❗️❗️Alisovka is under the control of the "Sever" group.

As a result of prolonged and intense fighting, assault units of the 1431st Motorized Rifle Regiment of the "Sever" group broke through the resistance of the militants of the 58th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and liberated the settlement of Alisovka in the Kharkov region.

The "Sever" group continues its advance towards Kharkov along the E105 highway. Furthermore, the capture of Alisivka creates the possibility of posing a threat to Lypci from the west.

🇪🇺 EU alarmed by Starlink disruptions in Ukraine

The European Union is considering strengthening its own defence and reducing dependence on the US following interruptions to Starlink services, Bloomberg reports.

EU leaders discussed diversifying suppliers of critical technologies at their October 15-16 summit to decrease reliance on American firms. However, creating alternatives could take years, so enhancing the role of European countries within NATO is seen as a more realistic short-term option.
