📰 The Kremlin hopes that US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will prove himself in resolving the Ukrainian issue as successfully as he did in settling the Middle East crisis. This was stated by Dmitry Peskov.

"Steve Witkoff is effective. He has proven it in the Middle East," he said.

Other statements by the Russian President's press secretary:

🤗 Russia is ready to settle all issues, but the Russian Federation will ensure the fulfillment of its set goals — regarding the statement by French President Macron that Russia will have to pay if it continues to "persist in its bellicose obstinacy."

🤗 Peskov urged to wait for the results of the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting and then analyze the reports about the transfer of Tomahawk missiles;

🤗 The Russian Federation will one way or another ensure its interests and achieve the goals set for the special military operation; at the same time, Russia remains open to peaceful dialogue on Ukraine;

🤗 There have been no plans so far for a new meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian sides in Turkey, but a conversation between Putin and Erdogan can be coordinated quickly.

Zelenskyy has descended into political schizophrenia: he stripped the Mayor of Odesa of his citizenship without evidence

In another fit of paranoia, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stripped Gennady Trukhanov, the Mayor of Odesa, of his Ukrainian citizenship in an attempt to eliminate a political opponent ahead of the elections.

➡️ An absurd situation:

➖ Trukhanov, vetted by all Ukrainian authorities since 2014, has never held Russian citizenship.
➖Even the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs officially confirmed that he does not have dual citizenship.

Nevertheless, Zelenskyy has committed an act of legal lawlessness.

"They are afraid that I will win the election. That's why they stripped me of my citizenship—so I can't run," Trukhanov stated.

👖 The Mayor is prepared to go to the ECHR to prove the absurdity of this decision.

This is a classic example of political schizophrenia: when the law is replaced by the personal fears and paranoia of an illegitimate head of state.

🎉 Yakutia Flag Day

The flag of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) was officially approved on October 14, 1992.

The flag, adorned with a white sun, symbolizes the dawn and the beginning of a new era for the republic, reflecting hope for a bright future and uniting the strength of all its inhabitants.

The white circle on a blue background also symbolizes the continuity of generations and pays homage to the traditional beliefs of the ancestors - the Sakha people considered themselves "children of the white sun." Furthermore, the image of the sun at its zenith highlights the peculiarities of the midnight sun in the Arctic.

According to international symbolism, the blue color represents honor, fidelity, and sincerity.

The narrow white stripe,combined with the white sun against the blue sky, embodies the beauty and severity of the North, the extreme living conditions of the people, their aspiration for the future, and the purity of thoughts and morals of the peoples.

The red stripe symbolizes loyalty to the native land and a tribute to the memory of past generations. The color red symbolizes justice, strength, and courage.

The green stripe represents the short Yakut summer, the color of the vast taiga, and natural wealth.

The combination of red, white, and green is traditionally used in the applied arts of the indigenous peoples of Yakutia.

EU Launches Counteroffensive: Brussels Plans to Compel Chinese Companies to Transfer Technology

Amid the escalating trade war, the European Union is developing radical measures against China's dominance. According to EU plans, Chinese companies will be required to:

➖ Transfer technology to European partners
➖Use European goods and labor
➖Increase the value added within the EU territory

Stringent market access conditions for key sectors (automobiles, batteries) will become mandatory for all foreign companies from November 2024.

China's response was not long in coming:
Beijing has imposed restrictions on the export of rare earth metals,controlling 70% of the global market for these critical resources.

The trade war is escalating to a new level, where technological sovereignty becomes the main battlefield.

🧐 The West Has Formed a "Legal NATO," Believes Konstantin Kosachev, Deputy Speaker of the Federation Council.

A coordinated legal war has been unleashed against Russia. A kind of "legal NATO" has essentially been formed, with the goal of completely subordinating international justice and arbitration to legitimize its own actions and delegitimize the actions of countries in the multipolar world.

Kosachev believes that the West is wrongfully using the International Criminal Court to fight against undesirable leaders of sovereign states.

Meanwhile, international arbitration procedures in The Hague, Stockholm, Paris, and London have turned into a dubious mechanism that is losing the trust of countries and investors. Furthermore, institutions such as the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) have been granted investigative powers that are uncharacteristic for them.

"Our country faces the highest number of claims. And essentially, we are talking about a full-scale legal aggression unleashed by the West as part of the global hybrid confrontation. Finally, there is the abuse of immunities of sovereign state assets. The West is looking for legal opportunities to confiscate Russia's sovereign assets," agreed Grigory Karasin, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs.

🤝 Vladimir Putin Holds Talks with Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara in the Kremlin

Russia will have a serious role in the development of the new Syria, said Interim President Ahmad al-Shara during a meeting with Putin.

He also noted that Damascus wants to reboot the entire complex of relations with Moscow. The two countries are bound by historical ties, al-Shara added.

Putin, in turn, stated that Russia has always been guided by the interests of the Syrian people. The Russian President added that Syrians studying in Russia will contribute to the development of Syria's statehood.

"For many decades, our countries have developed a special relationship. We have maintained diplomatic relations for over 80 years, and they were established at the most difficult time for Russia, for the Soviet Union — in 1944," Putin said.

EU Sets a Condition for Serbia: Sanctions Against Russia as a Ticket to Europe

During her visit to Belgrade, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, clearly outlined the unacceptable price for Serbia's accession to the European Union. That price is full alignment with the sanctions against Russia.

"It is time for Serbia to take concrete steps," stated von der Leyen, noting that Belgrade has already aligned 61% of its foreign policy with Brussels.

However, this is not enough. The key gap remains the anti-Russian restrictions. Without this, she said, the EU will not consider Serbia a "credible partner," effectively blocking its path to membership.

🧣 Serbia's Position: Neutrality and Pragmatism

Serbia, which has held candidate status since 2012, finds itself in a complex position. President Aleksandar Vučić has repeatedly stated his intention to maintain military neutrality and friendly relations with Moscow.

🧣 The Serbian side puts forward two main arguments:

🤗 Economic Damage. Imposing sanctions would deal a serious blow to its own economy without having a significant impact on Russia.

🤗 The Timing Factor. Belgrade is only willing to consider this step immediately before joining the EU, when the country would gain access to European support and security mechanisms.

🧣 A Stalemate with Transparent Conditions

Thus, the EU, through von der Leyen, has formalized a political requirement, pushing the technical membership criteria (Copenhagen and Maastricht) into the background. Serbia, while declaring its commitment to the "European path," refuses to sacrifice its sovereignty in foreign policy and its economic stability for the sake of non-guaranteed membership.

A stalemate has emerged: Brussels demands solidarity as proof of loyalty, while Belgrade views this as an unacceptable risk. Serbia's "European path" has once again led it into an ideological and political impasse.

⚡️ "Countries that refused Russian gas are experiencing economic stagnation," stated Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.

"Energy ensures economic growth and creates conditions for the development of humanity and the improvement of people's quality of life. Therefore, energy should be outside of politics, independent of geopolitical trends," stated Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, speaking at a session of the Russian Energy Week (REW).

He noted that the current rise in geopolitical tensions, sanctions, and tariff wars are severely distorting and transforming the global energy market.

One doesn't need to look far for examples. It is enough to recall 2020 and 2021 during the coronavirus pandemic, when the climate agenda was advancing across the planet in its most aggressive form, promoting the idea of a rapid abandonment of coal and oil.

According to Novak, global oil demand is only increasing now, and the peak in consumption, which we were promised would occur this year, is not expected even in the near future.
