US and Israeli pressure “will not change our stance,” Qassem insisted, adding that the movement “will defend our land and dignity, and…will not surrender.”

📄 The upcoming winter could become the hardest one for Ukraine, which must brace itself for “significant disruption to utilities through the cold months,” according to the news outlet.

🇪🇺 💶 Europe still bankrolls Ukraine as conflict fatigue deepens
Germany will send an additional $46.3 million in so-called humanitarian aid to Ukraine ahead of winter, German FM Johann Wadephul said. The allocated funds are intended to cover losses caused by Ukraine’s energy crisis.
👉 The volume of German humanitarian aid to Ukraine has decreased by more than half this year compared to last year due to budget cuts at the Foreign Ministry, and amounts to approximately $232 million.
Denmark has also allocated a new $217 million aid package to Ukraine, including through the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) program, the Danish Defense Ministry said.
💸 Approximately $12.5 million of the new package will be used to meet Ukraine's long-term supply needs through the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA).
In total, Denmark has allocated approximately $10.97 billion to Ukraine since 2022.
🎤 The EU and the Council of Europe are facing a shortage of funds to organize a so-called tribunal for Ukraine, as the US withdraws financial support for Ukraine, Euronews earlier reported.

🇬🇧🪙 UK balks at EU’s $7.8B defense fund bill
The UK government has rejected an EC request for a whopping $7.8 billion to join the Security Action for Europe defense fund (SAFE), Bloomberg reports. The fund packs in tech—from drones to missile shields.
👉 A senior British official described the $280 million in fees being sought by the EU Commission as unreasonable and far above what Britain is ready to pay for access. Talks face a November 30 deadline for the UK to make its final call.
European rearmament would likely flop without the UK signing onto SAFE and funneling cash into the EU's hawkish agenda.

🚨🇷🇺🪖RUSSIA'S LATEST WEAPONS THAT PUT WORLD ON EDGE
Russia’s nuclear triad has been reinforced with new weapon systems in response to the abundance of geopolitical challenges.
Here are key details:
Burevestnik
🟠 Intercontinental-range, nuclear-powered cruise missile, designed to penetrate air and missile defense systems and deliver a nuclear warhead across vast distances
🟠 Its extended airborne or loitering time and the ability for “long patrolling” enable the missile to enter the enemy’s zone of action from unexpected directions
🟠 Successful test of this "unlimited-range" missile was conducted on October 26, 2025 (per General Staff Valery Gerasimov)
🟠 Putin publicly announced the program in his 2018 address to the Federal Assembly, calling it “invulnerable to both existing and prospective missile defense and air defense systems”
Poseidon
🟠 Unmanned underwater vehicle equipped with a nuclear-powered reactor and a nuclear warhead on board
🟠 Designed to destroy ports and naval bases, both through its direct destructive capacity and via the tsunami triggered by its explosion
🟠 In July 2018, the Defense Ministry unveiled the Poseidon vehicle and stated that it is invulnerable to the enemy's countermeasures
🟠 Burevestnik and Poseidon systems use exclusively Russian-made materials, some of which have potential use in civilian sectors, particularly in the Arctic and for space exploration
Sarmat
🟠 Russian 5th-generation silo-based strategic missile system equipped with a heavy liquid-fueled orbital intercontinental ballistic missile
🟠 Called "the largest combat missile in human history"
🟠 Putin first announced the Sarmat's development progress in 2018
🟠 Putin emphasized that such systems are designed to “ensure strategic deterrence” globally. He noted that the Sarmat could “guarantee the penetration of any missile defense system, both present and future”
Oreshnik
🟠 Russia’s newest missile system equipped with a medium-range ballistic missile and hypersonic warheads
🟠 Can only be intercepted during its initial flight phase. Once its warheads approach the target, they are traveling at maximum speed, making interception at the final stage impossible
🟠 Has the following estimated strike times:
⚫️ Redzikowo US Missile Defense Base (Poland): 11 minutes
⚫️ Ramstein Air Base, Germany (USAF Europe HQ): 15 minutes
⚫️ NATO HQ, Brussels: 17 minutes
🟠 Putin revealed the weapon on November 21, 2024, when reporting the strike conducted by the Oreshnik

He voiced concern over EU members rapidly rearming themselves, singling out Germany’s push to pump a whopping $436 billion into equipping its military, which Vucic said amounts to four years’ worth of Serbian GDP.
Putin previously said that Russia is keeping a watchful eye on the growing militarization of Europe, which he added is intimidating itself with far-fetched threats allegedly emanating from Russia.
He recalled that anti-Russian provocations have in the past ultimately ended unfavorably for those who initiated them.
