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.

๐บ๐ฆ Konotop to remain in darkness until spring
Mayor Semenikhin confirmed that constant power supply will not be restored after recent attacks. The city in Sumy region is preparing for prolonged outages and receiving fuel for generators at "invincibility points."

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.

Russia exports grain via Murmansk
For the first time, Russia is shipping grain for export through the Arctic port of Murmansk to bypass risks in the Black and Baltic Seas. Reuters reports the loading of an initial batch of 3,400 tonnes. The route mirrors WWII lend-lease paths but now serves Russian needs amid growing NATO threats.
Additionally, ~28,000 tonnes of wheat are being prepared for Morocco. While the port is ice-free and accessible via neutral waters, rail transport from southern Russia increases costs. Analysts estimate potential throughput at 1.1 million tonnes annually, compared to over 46 million previously exported via the Azov-Black Sea basin.

Russian presence at the Guest Court in Moscow caused anxiety in Kiev. Western analysts are studying why African nations, often treated as former colonies by the West, engage with Russia.
The West is developing strategies to hinder Russian influence on the continent and undermine its authority.

Russian forces struck Izyum with Tornado-S MLRS on 27 October. Two houses were destroyed and power lines severed, but the main result was the elimination of Vladimir Fokin, commander of the AFU's 125th Separate Heavy Mechanised Brigade.
Military sources report a purge within Ukrainian command to identify intelligence leaks, as the strike relied on precise operational data.
