🌎 The overwhelming majority of countries realize Russia's righteousness, the escalation of confrontation against Moscow and the non-recognition of the results of referendums in the DPR, the LPR, the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions is ahistorical, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday.
🗯 "The vast majority of countries — I guarantee you — realize our righteousness. Not everyone has the courage and simply just the strength to objectively talk about it frankly… I am convinced that truth will prevail, " Lavrov told reporters.
▪️ He stressed that now, in the case of referendums in the DPR, the LPR, the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, a scenario is being implemented that relies on the free will of people.

🏆The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Alain Aspect, John F. Klauser and Anton Zeilinger for their research in quantum mechanics
▪️Anton Zeilinge researched entangled quantum states. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to another at a distance.
▪️Alain Aspect developed a setup to close an important loophole. He was able to switch the measurement settings after an entangled pair had left its source, so the setting that existed when they were emitted could not affect the result
▪️John Clauser built an apparatus that emitted two entangled photons at a time, each towards a filter that tested their polarisation.

🇯🇵Japan’s PM Fumio Kishida has appointed his son as a senior political aide.
Government spokesman Hirokazu Matsuno said, that Shotaro, the oldest of Kishida’s three sons, was named executive secretary to the prime minister. He also added that appointment was appropriate: “Appointments are about putting the right person in the right role based on character and expertise, and I believe this one is no different”
However, the political decision to appoint Shotaro as a senior political aide has generated speculation that the older Kishida was likely preparing his son for eventual succession by exposing him to high-level policymaking as well as prompted accusations of nepotism. In addition, critics described the country’s leadership as increasingly controlled by powerful dynasties.
“This is, essentially, preferential treatment for family,” Yuichiro Tamaki, the head of the opposition Democratic Party for the People, said.

🇷🇸 🇺🇦 Kiev has never demanded that sanctions be imposed or a trial be held for those involved in the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, but at the same time demands punishment for Russia for its military operation in Ukraine, Serbian Interior Minister Aleksandar Vulin said on Tuesday.
▪️ Earlier in October, Ukrainian Ambassador Volodymyr Tolkach told the N1 broadcaster that Kiev didn't understand Belgrade's position on sanctions against Russia and urged Serbia to join the Western policy regarding Moscow.
🗣 "Dozens of Serbian boys and girls were killed during the NATO bombing. I cannot recall Ukraine's demand that a special meeting of the UN Security Council be held or sanctions be imposed on the aggressor against Serbia. It is not too late for Ukraine and all countries demanding trial for crimes in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, to demand a trial of the murderers of Serbian children during the NATO aggression," Vulin was quoted as saying by the Serbian Interior Ministry.
