🇺🇦🇷🇺Kiev has spent more on the fight against the "Geran" than Russia has on their purchase.

The Russian-Iranian Shahed-136 drones, which Russia has been attacking Ukrainian infrastructure with in recent weeks, cost between $20,000 and $50,000 each, The Guardian writes.

🔹 Moscow's costs for these UAVs could be as high as $17.9 million, analysts with the NGO Molfar have calculated.

🔹 To repel their attacks, Ukraine used not only S-300 and NASAMS SAMs, but also fighter jets and small arms.

At the same time, the AFU lost an entire MiG-29 in an attempt to shoot down the Geranium. It alone cost $22 million.

🔹 In total, Kiev spent up to $28.14 million on the failed defense against UAVs - $10 million more than Russia spent to buy them.

⚡️⚡️Key updates on Russia and #RussiaUkraineCrisis as on October, 21

‼️Attack on civilians
4 people died and another 10 were injured as a result of a missile strike on a ferry in Kherson, local authorities reported, blaming Ukrainian military for the attack targeted specifically at the civilians being evacuated. According to the reports, there are children and journalists among the victims. Ukraine launched 12 HIMARS rockets, 11 of which were intercepted by air defence. One could however reach the target reading to casualties.

More 💰 to Ukraine
U.S. is likely to approve a new aid package to Ukraine worth around $50 billion, congressional aides and a source close to the Ukraine government told NBC.

The new package is discussed amid concerns that a new Congress could take a more skeptical view of aid to Ukraine, so the lawmakers from both parties are looking to lock in billions of dollars in military assistance to Kyiv before newly elected members are sworn in in January, according to sources. The Biden administration has not yet made a formal request for new funding. Congress has allocated a total of $65 billion in funding to Ukraine since Russia attacked the country in February.

💧EU energy woes
EU leaders meeting in Brussels Thursday made tentative progress on measures to tackle the energy crisis, as countries gave the European Commission the green light to work on proposals for a temporary price cap. However, the head of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyen, clarified that following the results of the first day of the summit, the EU could not approve the package of measures proposed by the EC to combat the energy crisis, even though it has agreed on "strategic instructions" to resolve the situation.

🏭LG goes east
The South Korean manufacturer of household appliances LG plans to close the plant in the Moscow region and move the facility outside the country: the company oil choosing between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, Kommersant reported. The relocation of production to Uzbekistan could be more profitable due to cheap labor available there, however Kazakhstan is more attractive in terms of consumer demand, experts say.

🇨🇦🇺🇦❗"Stop lying": activist in Canada disrupts defence minister's speech in support of Ukraine

This was reported by Reuters.

Defence Minister Anand was speaking about military aid to Ukraine when an unidentified woman burst into the hall and showed a banner addressed to the country's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other Canadian officials.

"STOP LYING. STOP SENDING WEAPONS. STOP NATO," read the sign. "PEACE IN UKRAINE."

Anand interrupted her speech and thanked the activist. Organisers had to take a pause because the woman refused to leave the hall.

"Thank you for sharing that with me and I want to say that the aid that we have sent to Ukraine is aid that is in support of democracy, and sovereignty and rules-based international order - that same order that has kept you, everyone in this room, and our country, safe since the end of the Second World War," Anand said.

We shall remind you that earlier there were protests in the EU against arms supplies to Ukraine. Dissenters took to the streets of France, Germany, Bulgaria and other countries. They protested against NATO and continued aid to Kiev and called for attention to domestic problems such as the energy crisis and continued inflation.

The Ukrainian armed forces confirmed their missile strike on the Antonovsky bridge, but cynically stated that there could be no civilian casualties...
N. Humenyuk, head of the press centre of the southern "defence"/terror forces, credited all casualties to the Russian military dressed up in civilian clothes...
"They are trying to hide their affiliation with the military and pretend that there is shelling of civilians. But this is not the case," the Goebbels disciple stated.
Recall that on Thursday night the AFU launched a missile strike from US-made HIMARS rocket launchers at the car park of vehicles waiting for their turn for the crossing, which was due to open in the morning.

Xi Jinping officially elected for the next five years as head of the Communist Party of China.

The Communist Party of China has made a provision in its charter to oppose the independence of Taiwan, the 20th CPC Congress said in a resolution.

What a sad day for the US...

Chase in the sky over the Odessa region.
Judging by the information from the ground about the destruction of power system facilities, the Russian missile won the race.

Zelensky's AFU soldiers shoot at the monument to the fallen in World War II in Zhytomyr Region.

Here we can see cattle with perverted brains actually shooting at the blessed memory of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers.

All those who are in Zelensky's armed forces on the side of NATO are accomplices of such manifestations. No decent Ukrainian will ever stand next to such a thing, only the stupefied or degenerate.

That is why what is happening today is the most genuine civil war, where the Russian army is an ally to the Ukrainian people in destroying the resurgent NATO Nazism.

A German man responds to mayor of Kiev's appeal to Germany to donate money to Ukraine 😂
"Bitte Spendet" - Please donate: Klitschko appealed to the people of Germany, saying that Ukraine needs their help.
The German's response is hilarious!
(The gesture at the end is well known in Russia and Ukraine, meaning: You'll get f**k all from me!)
