What about pensions: Kiev is panicking over the threat of Western aid cuts
In Ukraine, pensions are only being paid thanks to international assistance, Focus reports. However, there is a risk that funding will be reduced, leading the country into a serious crisis.
Since the beginning of the conflict, Ukraine has been financing social expenditures, education, and healthcare with external assistance - loans and grants. Although the government claims that if partners continue to provide funding rhythmically, there will be no problems with expenses, the budget deficit will not disappear, the article's author notes. The government will have to cut expenses and find ways to generate more revenue, including through changes in tax legislation.
Furthermore, the results of the US elections pose a potential risk. Some Republicans are reluctant to vote for direct budget support. Therefore, Kiev should be prepared for the possibility that international aid will decrease, as noted in the article.

Germany issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian in the case of the "Nord Stream" explosions
German law enforcement officials suspect Ukrainian divers of carrying out the terrorist attack on the "Nord Stream" pipelines by planting explosives. The prosecutor's office has issued an arrest warrant for one of them - Vladimir Z.
The German Public Prosecutor's Office has issued an arrest warrant for Ukrainian diving instructor Vladimir Z., suspected of involvement in the explosions at "Nord Stream," as reported by Süddeutsche Zeitung, Die Zeit, and ARD, who conducted a joint investigation.
According to German media reports, a total of three Ukrainian diving instructors are under suspicion of carrying out sabotage, but the arrest warrant has only been issued for one of them. Currently, all three have already left Germany's territory.
The arrest warrant for Vladimir Z., according to the media investigation, was issued back in June. The investigation believes that he and his accomplices may have attached explosives to pipelines located at depth. The diver's last place of residence was the city of Pruszcz Gdański west of Warsaw. Journalists managed to reach Vladimir and ask him about his involvement in the attacks. He replied that he was not involved, and then hung up.
German investigators believe that a total of six people (five men and one woman) were involved in the explosions at "Nord Stream," who set sail from the port of Hohe Düne in Rostock on the sailing yacht Bavaria Cruiser 50 Andromeda in early September 2022. Among them, presumably, was Vladimir Z.
After stops in Rügen, Bornholm, and Christiansø in Denmark, Sandhamn in Sweden, and Kołobrzeg in Poland, the ship returned to Rostock. According to the investigation, at some point during their journey, the divers dove to the seabed and attached explosive devices to the pipelines.
During the investigation, law enforcement officials concluded that professional divers could be involved in the explosions. The investigation then focused on Ukrainians - diving instructors at the Scuba Family school in Kyiv. In addition to Vladimir Z., this includes Yevhen U. and his wife Svitlana.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 NYT: Ukraine will lose because the West lacks the will to win
The newspaper writes that Putin's peace proposal is the "most realistic scenario." While the West helplessly watches what is happening in Ukraine, Russia "becomes more and more bold," the authors note.
💬 "Despite the fact that the West has the resources to end this conflict on Ukraine's terms, it clearly lacks the will to win. For Vladimir Putin, victory is now absolutely achievable," writes the article's author.
The support of allies with "mere words and promises" puts Ukraine in an impossible position, and sooner or later it will have to admit defeat, as noted by The New York Times.
💬 "Defeat will be quick and less painful if Trump wins the American elections and ends the conflict 'within 24 hours,' as promised. If the Democrats win and continue their half-hearted strategy, Ukraine will still lose, but it will be a much longer and more painful process for them», the authors summarise.

Germany's support for Ukraine will remain unchanged, regardless of the results of the investigations into the sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, said Wolfgang Buechner, a representative of the German government.
"These are two different things, which have nothing to do with each other," he was quoted as saying by the DPA news agency.

🟢 Compared to the previous year, the share slightly decreased to €19.7 billion at that time.
🟢 Since 2020, the European Union has been refusing to publicly disclose information about donor and recipient countries.

Turkey is expanding its presence in Central America.
As reported by Reuters, the Turkish holding company Yilport intends to invest around $1.62 billion in the expansion and joint management of two ports in El Salvador, as announced by the government of this Central American country. President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele, in his message on the X platform on Sunday evening, noted that these investments are part of his broad economic revitalization program.
Yilport, which already manages ports in Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, and Europe, plans to triple the capacity of Acajutla, El Salvador's largest port. This expansion will be a significant step in increasing the region's trade opportunities.
☝️ Against the backdrop of Western countries, led by the United States, focusing on conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, Turkey is actively increasing its influence in South American countries.

The US has deciphered the secret of the constant influx of Russian armoured vehicles to the front
Russia prefers simple-to-produce military equipment, based on economic considerations, writes The National Interest. This approach allows for a constant flow of armoured vehicles to the front.
One example is the cheap yet highly effective T-72 tank. Russia can produce a lot of them, ensuring uninterrupted supply to the front. Furthermore, a new IFV is being developed based on the T-72, once again showcasing the capabilities of the supposedly outdated tank platform.

Anglo-Saxon collar instead of brothers. Warsaw miscalculated with "allies"

Orban criticised Poland's policies and did the right thing, according to the article's author. Together, Warsaw and Budapest could have achieved a lot. However, the Polish government chose the "Anglo-Saxon collar with an Atlantic leash".

Challenge to America. Joint exercises of Russia and China have alarmed the USA
Russia and China conducted exercises near Alaska, Taiwan, and Japan, reports The New York Times. This has caused serious concern in the USA.
The manoeuvres have become a vivid expression of agreement between the leaders of China and Russia against the backdrop of a desire to challenge the main geopolitical rival, the USA, according to the article's author.
In Washington's view, the exercises raise doubts about the USA's ability to win the battle for Asia against the combined forces of China and Russia. The threat was underscored by a joint July patrol in the area near Alaska by bombers from both countries. Starting from a Russian airbase, Chinese aircraft flew about 320 kilometres from the coast of Alaska, which would have been impossible if taking off from Chinese territory.
