๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐโšก- "Dear Prime Minister Donald Tusk,

Russia is at war. Ukraine is at war. Hungary is not.

I understand that you stand firmly on the side of Ukraine. Please understand that we stand firmly on the side of Hungary.

Your question is who will win the Russiaโ€“Ukraine war.

My question is how we can end the war, save tens of thousands of lives and provide security for Hungarians.

You seek to win a war you believe is yours. I want to ensure that peace prevails," - Viktor Orban, Prime Minister of Hungary.

โ€œObviously the Hungarians are blocking the Ukrainians,โ€

โ€œBut thatโ€™s not all. The Bulgarians want to be able to block the Macedonians, the Croats want to be able to control the Serbs, Greece and Cyprus donโ€™t want Turkey to come any closer to the EU, and Greece also would want to keep an eye on Albania,โ€ - EU diplomat statement to Politico.


In public, EU leaders may oppose Hungaryโ€™s blocking of Ukraine. But behind closed doors, many find it a convenient cover for their own demands.

#BREAKING/EXCLUSIVE | Arab source tells The Global Eye: The armed Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip have agreed to firmly reject US President Trump's Gaza Peace Deal and to back Hamas in this decision and in face of any possible consequences and escalation.

Hamas is anticipated to formally declare its stance on the 20-point Gaza peace plan unveiled by U.S. President Donald Trump, which has secured the endorsement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and leaders from multiple Arab and Islamic nations, including Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Indonesia, and Pakistan.

As of October 2, 2025, the White House has yet to receive Hamas's response, despite a "three-to-four day" ultimatum issued by Trump for the group to accept the proposal or face severe repercussions.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is on the agenda, we discussed what needs to be done on our side. Russia supports the parties in BiH reaching an agreement.

โ„๏ธ ๐ŸŒจ๏ธ Early snowfall in the Western Balkans, particularly in Bosnia and Serbia, has caused significant disruption. The heavy, wet snow downed power lines and trees, leaving thousands without electricity. In some areas, snow accumulation reached over half a meter and could set records for October. Roads became impassable, and several municipalities, like Medvedja and Crna Trava in Serbia, also lost access to water and phone services. Emergency measures were enacted in affected areas.

The snowfall also closed roads in Bosnia, where authorities advised drivers to be cautious and reminded them of the upcoming winter tire requirement. The snowfall even surprised tourists at Bosnia's Jahorina ski center, where conditions shifted suddenly.

Added the last webcam image of Jahorina - next significant snow fall is expected on Oct 7th.
