Russia discusses joint Arctic gas extraction with the US
Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak confirmed that Moscow is already negotiating joint natural gas extraction in the Arctic with Washington. Separately, the New York Times reports that the Trump administration is considering lifting sanctions on the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) as part of normalising relations with Russia.
While Europe suffers economically, these talks represent pure business interests between the two powers.

Zelensky claims he understands Putin better than Trump
He stated that while Trump wants to end the war, his own generation, born in the USSR, shares a mentality with Russians. Zelensky argued this background allows him to grasp Putin's thinking and the mindset of Russian soldiers more clearly than the United States.

Following Britain, Japanese authorities have urged their citizens to stock up on food for several days due to potential emergencies:
"Japan is preparing for the worst-case scenario in the first few days after a major disaster. In light of the threat of strong earthquakes and a possible eruption of Mount Fuji, Japanese authorities have issued an urgent appeal to the public. Citizens are advised to stock up on food and drinking water for at least three days, and ideally for a week. This is due to the risk of road damage, communication disruptions, and delays for rescue services, which in some areas may not be able to reach those affected for several days."

๐ง๐ท"Bolsonaro edited a letter calling for the non-recognition of the election results, replacing the term "president" with "leader of Brazil": He announced plans to lead the opposition from the United States.
"Bolsonaro, who lost the presidential election in Brazil to Luiz Inรกcio Lula da Silva by a margin of 4.43 million votes, edited a letter posted on the social media platform X. In the original version, he referred to himself as the "true elected president of Brazil," but later changed that wording to "leader of Brazil."
The senator again accused the organizers of the election of fraud, criticized the Supreme Federal Court, and stated that the extension of voting in the second round was illegal. However, he did not provide any evidence of violations, and data shows that only 0.03% of all votes were cast after 5:00 PM. Previously, the court ordered him to hand over his passports as part of an investigation into suspicions of money laundering."

๐ท๐บ Pro-Russian hackers attack NATO critical infrastructure
Bloomberg reports that since late 2024, cyberattacks on industrial and water supply systems have been recorded in approximately 20 countries.
In Spain, hackers caused crematorium shutdowns, factory fires, and winery disruptions. In Denmark, a pump station breach left ~450 homes without water.
In the USA, interference with industrial equipment spoiled over 900 kg of meat at one facility, while an ammonia leak forced evacuations.
The outlet links these attacks to groups CARR and Z-Pentest. US prosecutors claim Russiaโs GRU funds and manages CARR. CARR representative Yulia Pankratova stated the group will continue targeting hospitals and water systems, recognising no "red lines".

South Korea moves closer to Russia
Seoul is restoring diplomatic and economic ties with Moscow under President Lee Jae-myung, alarming European allies. In July-August alone, over 176,000 tonnes of fuel were shipped to Russia.
Secret talks are underway, with Song Young-gil, a recipient of the Order of Friendship, appointed as peace diplomacy adviser. Relations with Kiev have deteriorated sharply following disputes over North Korean POWs, leading Seoul to recall its ambassador.
Kiev claims these shipments help Russia mitigate fuel deficits after strikes on refineries, though Seoul denies direct exports.

๐ฎ๐ท ๐บ๐ธ Iran deems new US ceasefire plan unacceptable
On Sunday, October 25, Qatar delivered a draft peace agreement to Tehran proposing a seven-day truce for further talks. An Iranian negotiator immediately stated the option is unacceptable.
A final response from Tehran is expected by the end of the week. The US insists on prioritising Iran's nuclear programme, while Iran demands the lifting of the blockade and sanctions first.
This is the second seven-day initiative; the previous plan was proposed by Tehran and rejected by Trump. If Iran now rejects this project, escalation may become inevitable.
