Video of a miss by a MANPADS fired at a "Geran-2", which hit the building of "Ukrenergo" in the center of Kiev. Where the MANPADS rocket flew to is certainly an interesting question.

The European Union will propose a temporary price ceiling for all imported gas (that is, not only Russian gas) "to curb extreme prices," writes the mouthpiece of the global oligarchy, Financial Times.
In Norway, I am sure, they have strained a lot because now they want to get into their pocket as the main exporter of gas to the EU.
And how beautifully it all started. They said that anti-Russian sanctions are against Russia, not against EU countries.

Ukraine smoked the EU with some strong stuff: the Minister of Finance of Ukraine has become the head of the Board of Governors of the World Bank!
Sergey Marchenko will also head the International Monetary Fund for 2023. According to him, the new post will help coordinate Ukraine's cooperation with the IMF and the World Bank. Now Ukraine will not just line its pockets with trifling thefts, but will more abundantly skim the European treasury.
This appointment was made for the first time since Ukraine joined these organizations, that is, for the first time in 30 years. The decision was made unanimously by representatives of all the countries.

🇺🇦🇷🇺Verkhovna Rada recognizes Chechnya as "temporarily occupied" by Russia
The Ukrainian parliament has adopted a draft law recognizing Chechnya as an alleged Russian occupation as a result of "armed aggression", which was allegedly carried out in violation of the UN Charter.
Moreover, the Russian region is referred to as the "Republic of Ichkeria". This was reported by the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Alexander Bakumov. Furthermore, the document, which was adopted by the Rada, refers to the alleged genocide carried out by Russia against the Chechen people.🤦♂️

🇺🇸I'm just amazed at how much the US political elite consider themselves the standard bearer of all that is good, against all that is bad! And for the sake of this "good" they have already killed millions of people around the world and are ready to destroy more. Aiming for the "golden billion"?

Mass disappearances in the Armed Forces of Ukraine after offensives at the front
Over the weekend, relatives of the missing soldiers and officers of the 24th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have come to a rally in Lvov. Sadly, the reason they are missing probably has to do with the AFU's offensive tactics, in which soldiers lives just don't matter... 😢🙏

People are trying to shoot down UAVs with machine guns. It's useless, but it turned out very nicely.

❗Democrats propose to transfer weapons from Saudi Arabia to Ukraine, The Guardian reports
Democrats have proposed handing over US weapons held in Saudi Arabia to Ukraine and suspending the planned transfer of Patriot missiles to Riyadh due to what they call a "turning point" in Washington's relationship with the kingdom.
Ro Khanna, a Democratic congressman from California, said he believes "at the very least" Congress will stop the transfer of Patriot missiles to the kingdom and possibly suspend other defence initiatives.
"Khanna is a longtime critic of Saudi Arabia and was one of the original sponsors of a 2019 measure that received bipartisan support and would have forced the US to end military involvement in Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen."
The breakdown in relations followed last week's announcement that Opec+ had agreed to cut oil production by 2 million barrels a day, despite strong objections and lobbying from the Joe Biden administration. The move was seen as support for military action in Ukraine, as well as a stunning betrayal of Saudi Arabia's relationship with the US.
"Pressed on whether Democrats were likely to move beyond rhetoric, Khanna pointed to recent comments by his colleague Robert Menendez, a Democratic senator who as chairman of the foreign relations committee said he was prepared to halt Saudi weapons sales."
While the transfer of Saudi-bound weapons to Ukraine is not particularly difficult logistically, experts say it is fraught with accusations that the Biden administration is increasing support to Ukraine beyond acceptable levels because it may require American personnel on the ground to support the systems.

⚡️⚡️Statements by General Surovikin, SMO Commander in Chief
On the situation at the front
- The situation in the SMO zone is tense.
- The enemy has not abandoned it's attempts to attack the positions of the Russian Armed Forces, primarily in the Kupyansk, Krasny Liman and Nikolayev-Krivoy Rog sectors.
- The special operation has confirmed the effectiveness of Russia's air and air defence systems.
- We are not aiming for a high tempo offensive, we are methodically grinding down the enemy and advancing. We are preserving the lives of our soldiers and civilians.
On evacuation of residents of the Kherson region:
- There is evidence that Kiev may use banned methods of war in the Kherson area, preparing for a missile strike on Kakhovka HPP dam.
- As announced, the Russian Armed Forces will ensure safe evacuation of the population, in accordance with the resettlement programme prepared by the Russian government. [...] Under these circumstances, our main task is to preserve the lives and health of citizens and our military personnel, this is a priority for us.
- Further actions with regard to Kherson will depend on the unfolding military and tactical situation, which is not easy. I do not rule out making very difficult decisions.

Zaporizhzhyian authorities ruled out the possibility of demilitarizing the nuclear power plant zone
Demilitarization of the Zaporizhzhia NPP zone is out of the question, taking into account the preparation of Ukrainian troops for attacking the nuclear plant, said Vladimir Rogov, a member of the Zaporizhzhia Region's general administrative council.
On Monday, the Ukrainian company Energoatom urged the international community to take measures to demilitarize ZNPP as soon as possible and withdraw all Russian army personnel from the plant and the city of Energodar, and to bring the plant back under Ukrainian control.
"Such statements from their side are sheer cynicism and impertinence. They call for demilitarization, while they themselves are pulling new forces and weapons to the front line, preparing to force the Dnieper River and occupy the NPP. So, they’d best not sell fictions and take the international community for idiots. The Ukrainian terrorists are armed with anything and everything and are preparing to attack the nuclear power plant, so demilitarization under these conditions is impossible. Show me even one nuclear power plant in the world that has been left unguarded," Rogov told RIA Novosti newswire. According to him, the presence of the Russian military in the NPP area, as well as the Russian National Guard defending the nuclear plant, thwart Ukrainian combatants from provocation.
"The Kiev regime with its nuclear terrorism agenda poses a threat to all mankind," Rogov stressed, adding that the Zaporizhzhya Region is a constituent entity of the Russian Federation and the NPP is its state property, which is inviolable and legally protected.

German authorities have decided to stop exchanging hryvnia for euro. Why? This decision was made due to the falling demand for the Ukrainian currency. This means that the hryvnia ceases to be a convertible currency. October 30 is the last day in Germany when Ukrainians will be able to exchange their savings in hryvnias for the euro. Perhaps other EU countries will soon stop exchanging the hryvnia too.
If they believed in the future of the Ukrainian economy, they would not take such a step. 🤔

The EU has no intention yet to introduce a gas price ceiling, fearing cessation of Russian gas deliveries - Bloomberg
The European Commission is due to propose its plan to prevent energy price spikes today. However, the introduction of a price cap on gas is not yet being considered, as the EU is divided on the issue, and also due to fears that Russian gas supplies will be cut off.
