🪖 Ukraine is ramping up drone attacks on Donetsk civilians, Sputnik correspondent Russell Bentley (@TXDPR) reports:

“Apparently in response to Russian advances on the Avdeyavka Front, in the last few days, Ukrainian war criminals have unleashed attack drones specifically against civilians in the western districts of Donetsk. Targeting the parking lot of Galactica, the only Walmart type store left in Donetsk, a taxi driver and passenger were injured. Targeting the entrance to a crowded supermarket near Victory Plaza, miraculously, no injuries, and targeting a civilian car parked in front of a small strip mall of shops, with the driver killed and passenger wounded. This is only in Petrovsky in the last few days. In the nearby Kirovsky District and the village of Staromikhailovka, civilians have also been attacked by drones.

All in all from October 31 through November 3 in Staromikhailovka, Petrovsky and Kirovsky districts, the Ukrainians used attack drones 9 times against civilians, with 8 wounded, 1 killed. These attacks were carried out using modified civilian (Mavic) drones armed with between 2 and 4 GDP-30 grenades, which have the equivalent size, weight and power of a Russian F1 hand grenade, with a lethal radius of 5 meters.”

🇷🇺 The stand of the Russian Ministry of Finance at the Russia exhibition featured an iconic fairground amusement: a glass cube with a heavy golden bullion bar. Visitors should try to pull out the piece of precious metal through a round hole using only one hand — a task that may seem easy to those who have never tried it.

Siluanov made three attempts to get the bullion, but all of them failed, showing that even the minister himself doesn't find it easy to get gold from the Treasury.

❗️Exposed: Australia is sending weapons to the Middle East on civilian cargo ships

Local activists plan to fight the Albanese government’s proxy wars abroad by staging protests at ports. @AussieCossack breaks down the battle for Australia’s foreign policy future.

🇪🇺 Europe's migration problem could bring down governments, Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg said on Saturday, adding that Austria now has the highest per capita burden of migration in continental Europe.

Germany should also discuss measures to combat illegal migration, Schallenberg said, adding that the deportation issue is an "Achilles' heel" of the European Union's asylum system.

To deal with the problem, European countries should put much more pressure on migrants' countries of origin and use the European Union’s influence, Schallenberg said.

"This means that we must question EU customs preferences or visa facilitation and adjust development aid for countries that do not cooperate with us on repatriation. But that's not all. First, we need a proper defense of our external borders," Schallenberg said.
