US poised for slowdown in high-end munitions deliveries to Ukraine
From Fox News
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin signaled this week that the U.S. and its Western allies are having trouble keeping pace with Ukraine’s demand for the advanced weaponry it needs to fend off Russia’s invasion. That signal reflects dwindling supplies for Ukraine and fear in the White House of escalation that could lead to war between the U.S. and Russia.
The risk of reduced U.S. stockpiles of high-end munitions has been reported almost since the U.S. began contributing to Ukraine’s defense. Now, nearly eight months since the start of the war, experts interviewed by Fox News Digital say the U.S. is at or very near the end of its capacity to give.
They agreed that Austin’s remarks indicate that the initial rush of high-end munitions like HIMAR rocket launchers, Javelin anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft Stingers and M-777 Howitzers is over.
[T]he Biden administration has more flexibility to give Ukraine more but is choosing not to.

Translated from MIG:
The German authorities have decided not to exchange the hryvnia for the euro anymore. Why? This decision was made due to the fall in demand for the Ukrainian currency. Thus, the hryvnia ceases to be a convertible currency. October 30 has been declared the last day in Germany when Ukrainians will be able to exchange their savings in hryvnias for euros. Soon other EU countries will stop exchanging the hryvnia. If they believed in the future of the Ukrainian economy, they would not take such a step, but now everything is becoming clear.

German investigators haven’t been able definitively to link the suspected sabotage to any one actor, but some German officials say they are working under the assumption that Russia was behind the blasts.

Nord Stream Blasts Were Likely Result of Sabotage, German Probe Finds
Investigators have determined that the series of explosions along key undersea gas pipelines from Russian to Europe were likely caused by sabotage, according to German officials familiar with the probe, adding weight to similar preliminary findings by Sweden.
Underwater drone operator Trond Larsen said that there is a long crack had formed along one of the pipes.
Some fragments of the pipe have even sharp edges, while others have severely deformed metal. At the bottom, fragments are scattered, resembling parts of a pipeline.
Only the impact of extreme force can damage such thick metal.

Zelensky's adviser-Arestovich says:" We really blankly have two options: either an explosive correction of the picture of the world through a nuclear confrontation, or aliens just coming in."
Ukrainian "philosopher" Sergei Datsyuk: "Western analysts cannot imagine the world without Russia. I'm saying we can't win - not because we don't have weapons, not because we can't respond with a nuclear weapon, not because we don't have tanks. We can't win because we don't have a cognitive model for winning. I've been hitting this wall since the beginning. 90% of any innovation, and victory is innovation, this is what you imagine, how you will bury the old. We do not have a Russian burial model."

Today, #Geraniums (which for some reason everyone calls #IranianKamikazeDrones) are on the front pages of many Western newspapers. When these crackling mopeds first appeared in the air over Ukraine, they were mocked in these media but not anymore.
