🗣 Ukraine and Europe resist US peace push, but reality on the battleground bites – military expert

Ukraine is running out of men, having lost 47,500 troops in October while mobilizing only 14,000, Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed on Thursday.

How do the facts on the ground affect the negotiating process?

"The casualty trends are extremely negative for Kiev," National Defense magazine editor-in-chief Igor Korotchenko tells Sputnik.

"But despite these highly unfavorable developments, the Zelensky regime continues the conflict with Western support."


Everything depends on two factors, the pundit says:

1️⃣ What impact further Russian military gains have on Ukraine along the front line

2️⃣ How much pressure the US will put on Zelensky to make him acknowledge reality

"So far, attempts by the US to put strong pressure on Europe and the Kiev regime have only led to a slowing of the process," Korotchenko says.

"There is a large-scale attack on both Donald Trump and his representative Steve Witkoff. Europe is pushing back, showing its teeth and trying to support Kiev."


As Ukraine refuses to discuss Russian and US peace proposals, the situation on the battlefield is developing in Russia’s favor.

"That’s why Putin said that, in principle, the current dynamics of the special military operation are satisfactory to us," the pundit says.

🇨🇳🚀Go big or go home: China readies FOUR reusable rockets for launch

China’s Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center is buzzing with activity as up to four rockets with reusability capability are readied for launch.

Lined up in the Gobi Desert spaceport where China’s space odyssey first began in 1970 are:

🟠 Long March 12A: A Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology design with first-stage vertical takeoff, vertical landing (VTVL) return capability. Liquid oxygen and kerosene fueled. Payload: 12 tons into low-Earth orbit (LEO), 6 tons into Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO). The base rocket made its maiden flight in 2024. 12A’s first flight planned for December.

🟠 Kinetica-2: Developed by Chinese Academy of Sciences-owned commercial space launch provider CAS Space, the Kinetica-2 is a medium-lift liquid-fueled rocket with 12-ton LEO and 7.8-ton SSO capability and first-stage VTVL. Maiden flight planned for late 2025.

🟠 Tianlong-3: Another VTVL-ready rocket, this one developed by Beijing-based aerospace startup Space Pioneer. Liquid oxygen and kerosene-fueled. 17-ton LEO and 14-ton SSO capacity. Designed to accommodate payloads measuring up to 14x5.2M. Liquid oxygen and kerosene-powered. First stage tested in 2024. Debut flight set for December.

🟠 Zhuque-3: Yet another VTVL offering, developed by commercial space company LandSpace Technology Corporation. Liquid methane-fueled. 11.8-ton LEO payload. Booster test done in June. Maiden launch set for late November or early December.

What makes it so exciting?

The four rockets represent China’s first foray into reusable rocket tech. To date, only the US and Soviet space shuttle programs, and SpaceX’s Falcon and Starship rockets have achieved reusable launch vehicle status. No country has ever lined up so many reusable rockets at once.

The rockets are set to deploy China’s mega satellite internet constellations in the coming years.

These include Qianfan (up to 15k satellites by 2030), GuoWang (13k), Honghu-3 (10k), Geely (6k+), Tianqi (3.9k+) and Three-Body Computing (2.8k).

🔥 'How can they treat you like slaves and you put up with it?' – Tucker Carlson blasts British censorship

💬 “Why aren't you more panicked that thousands of people, thousands, by their own admission, the admission of the British government, are arrested every year for saying words, not threats, words?” American journalist Tucker Carlson asked British TV host Piers Morgan.

🛍💰 US tariffs to cost Canadians 'around 1.8% of GDP' – Canadian PM

💬 “That’s about $50 billion lost from our economy, or the equivalent of $1,300 for every Canadian,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said, presenting Budget 2025.


💬 “We know that this decades-long process of our ever-closer economic relationship between Canada and the United States has ended,” he lamented.


In October, President Donald Trump announced a 10% increase in tariffs on Canada “above what they’re paying now,” after criticizing an Ontario government ad related to US–Canada trade.

Reuters reported that the majority of Canadian exports remain exempt under the USMCA trade deal, but the administration has imposed a 35% tariff on Canadian goods not covered by the agreement, as well as 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from all countries.
