Russian forces carrying out 'cascade' offensive strategy on the battlefield, experts reveal
"This strategy now enables Russia's military to impose tactical isolation on the enemy, which can escalate into a full-scale encirclement. The choices left for the enemy are stark: surrender or die,” Matviychuk explained.
Retired Russian Army colonel and seasoned military analyst Viktor Litovkin suggested that the term “cascade offensive” may denote multiple echelons simultaneously attacking and securing positions, with each wave moving in succession.
Litovkin also identified significant challenges faced by Ukrainian forces, including lack of ammunition, manpower, and air and artillery support, as well as the inability to reinforce their ranks.
He pointed out that Russian forces maintain a relentless barrage on supply routes, complicating the situation further. Additionally, he warned that many Ukrainian soldiers “lack the desire to fight and are insufficiently trained.”

Russian military forces have effectively employed a strategy known as an "integrated systemic offensive," as explained by military expert and retired colonel, Anatoly Matviychuk, in an interview with Sputnik. This approach, referred to by journalists as a “cascade” offensive, integrates "time and location-coordinated fire strikes with ground assaults targeting the enemy's rear and flanks,” he noted.

🇬🇪 Unprecedented foreign interference in Georgia's elections – prime minister
The recent parliamentary elections in Georgia were marked by unprecedented foreign interference, according to Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.
The Prime Minister stated that despite opposition parties' declarations of a boycott, their representatives who secured seats in Parliament will assume their roles sooner than expected.
He further noted that the opposition lacks sufficient resources to maintain prolonged acts of sabotage.
In the meantime, leaders of the Georgian opposition have announced protests against the election results, according to Reuters. The first rally is set to take place on November 4 at Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi.
The parliamentary elections were held on October 26. According to the Central Election Commission (CEC), the ruling Georgian Dream party, which advocates for a pragmatic approach in relations with Russia and opposes LGBT* propaganda, secured 53.93% of the vote. Four opposition parties also gained seats, collectively earning 37.78% of the vote. However, opposition representatives have stated they do not recognize the CEC's results.
*LGBT is an extremist movement banned in Russia.

The recent parliamentary elections in Georgia were marked by unprecedented foreign interference, according to Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.
"Foreign money is being used in Georgia for political purposes... The elections witnessed unprecedented interference from the outside, including interference funded by foreign money," Kobakhidze told local media.
The Prime Minister stated that despite opposition parties' declarations of a boycott, their representatives who secured seats in Parliament will assume their roles sooner than expected.
"This issue has lost relevance; whether they decide to enter or not is their choice... I am confident that they will join Parliament faster than anyone can imagine," Kobakhidze emphasized.

Trump sues CBS over refusal to release unedited Harris interview – report
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS, accusing the network of election interference for refusing to release an unedited version of an interview with his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, according to court documents obtained by Fox News.
The suit was filed in Texas, citing the network’s alleging the network's violation of local laws. While Texas is predominantly Republican, CBS is legally incorporated in the Democratic-leaning states of New York and Delaware.
The interview with Harris aired on CBS's "60 Minutes" in early October. In a preview released before the broadcast, Harris struggled to clearly respond to the host's question about US policy toward Israel, a moment that drew criticism from Republicans. However, the full broadcast did not include this segment. Trump accused CBS of fraudulent behavior, demanded the revocation of the network's broadcasting license, and called for the release of the complete interview trannoscript.
CBS declined Trump's request to publish the unedited interview, citing the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of speech. The network acknowledged that the interview had been edited but explained that it was done to include “as many of the vice president's answers as the 21-minute format allows.”

“The edited broadcast created confusion because that was CBS’s intent: to do whatever it took to portray Kamala as intelligent, well-informed, and confident when, in fact, she is none of the above,” the lawsuit emphasizes.
The suit was filed in Texas, citing the network’s alleging the network's violation of local laws. While Texas is predominantly Republican, CBS is legally incorporated in the Democratic-leaning states of New York and Delaware.
“Due to CBS’ actions, the public could not distinguish which Kamala they saw in the Interview: the candidate or the actual puppet of a behind-the-scenes editor,” the lawsuit asserts.

King Charles III of Great Britain believed that the Orthodox Church was the only Christian denomination “not corrupted by loathsome political correctness.” He expressed this opinion in a letter to a friend in 1998, which was later sold at Lay's Auction.
“Personally, the older I get, the more I am drawn to the great, timeless traditions of the Orthodox Church,”wrote the monarch, who was then the Prince of Wales.
