💢 CBS News: US deploys airborne division to Romania for a drill, fighters are ready to cross the border into Ukraine
CBS News reported that the United States has deployed the 101st Airborne Division to Europe, namely to Romania. The military arrived in the country to participate in military exercises, only the commander of the "Screaming Eagles" said that the fighters are ready to enter the territory of Ukraine, if necessary.
The American 101st Airborne Division has been deployed to Europe for the first time in almost 80 years, the reason - growing tensions between Russia and the NATO military alliance led by the US.
White House previously assured that the US military would not take part in the conflict on the territory of Ukraine. But now the commanders of the "Screaming Eagles" openly told that the fighters are "ready to fight tonight,<...> if the fighting escalates or there's any attack on NATO, they're fully prepared to cross the border into Ukraine."

A Georgian legionnaire recorded an emotional video message expressing his indignation at the persecution of Russian-speaking citizens in Ukraine.
In particular, he condemned the actions of Ukrainians who called themselves human rights activists and civic activists and refused to give humanitarian aid to Russian-speaking women. Moreover, this humanitarian aid was not even from Ukraine, but from a foreign country.
The Georgian fighter was also brave enough to stress that he considers Kiev's declared policy of Ukrainianisation of the population to be totally wrong, as there are a lot of representatives of various nations living in the country who speak Russian. Among them are Georgians who are fighting on the side of the Ukrainian armed forces.
In the end, the Georgian called on the most passionate defenders of the Ukrainian language to stand with him and defend the country with arms in their hands, rather than bullying defenceless women.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Shmygal has warned the EU of a tsunami of migrants from his country this coming winter.
If Ukrainians are not properly provided with water and heating, Europe will face a "tsunami" of Ukrainian migrants next winter.
This forecast was voiced by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmygal in an interview with Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
"After all, if there is no more electricity, heating, water in Ukraine, it could cause a new migration tsunami," Shmygal believes.

Poor Europeans already don't know how to survive the winter, so now they should expect precipitation in the form of Ukrainians.

The former CIA director did not rule out participation of US-led troops in the conflict in Ukraine.
A US-led multinational contingent may take part in the conflict in Ukraine, former CIA Director David Petraeus has said.
David Petraeus, who used to head the CIA and commanded troops in Afghanistan, has said that the US-led international grouping may interfere in the situation in Ukraine.
In doing so, Petraeus stressed that a "red line" for the U.S. and its allies would be an attack on a NATO member, and did not rule out that a "U.S.-led multinational force, not a NATO force, would operate in Ukraine."

U.S. Officer Davis: Seizing Ukraine's supply lines on the border with Poland would paralyze the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) will be immediately paralyzed if supply lines in Volyn and Lviv regions are seized. Such a way to deprive the Ukrainian army of combat readiness was called by retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis in an article for 19Fortyfive.
"If the overland route from Poland is cut off, Ukraine will have virtually no ability to conduct military operations for more than a few months," the officer pointed out.
The author of the article also notes that Russia long ago destroyed Ukraine's main ability to produce military equipment and ammunition, so Kiev is completely dependent on a continuous flow of supplies from the West.

Analysts call Truss a possible candidate to lead NATO.
British Prime Minister Liz Truss may be a contender for the post of NATO leader. Her possible rival is Italian politician Mario Draghi, said Tiberio Graziani, president of the International Institute for Global Vision & Global Trends.
According to him, the United States will benefit from having representatives of Italy and Britain as Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance. Therefore, either of these options is quite suitable for the White House.
A British candidate could further strengthen the traditional London-Washington relationship. And an Italian leader would weaken Rome's anti-NATO tendencies, says Graziani.

Very "logical" contenders who have recently lost their posts.

💰Marshall plan
A German lobby group representing companies with interests in eastern Europe has called for a plan to rebuild Ukraine that would mirror the Marshall Plan that helped Europe recover from World War Two, the media group RND reported.
The 20-page "Rebuild Ukraine" dossier covering topics from industry to agriculture and energy will be discussed at a Ukraine-Germany business forum in Berlin on Monday, attended by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Schmyhal. In an opinion piece in German business newspaper FAZ on Sunday, Scholz and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made a similar call for a "new Marshall Plan for the 21st century" for Ukraine.
🌐Valdai meet
The 19th Annual Meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club, noscriptd “A Post-Hegemonic World: Justice and Security for Everyone” kicks off in Moscow on Monday. The meeting will be attended by 111 experts, politicians, diplomats and economists from 41 countries, including Afghanistan, Brazil, China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, the United States, Uzbekistan, the think tank said.
As Kommersant have learnt, many American and European experts who previously regularly participated in the club's events will not come to the Valdai meeting this year given the current circumstances. Several of them told the newspaper that they did not want to be associated in any way with a structure close to the Kremlin, especially since some of the meetings were held openly and broadcast by Russian media. On October 20, the so-called International Working Group on Sanctions against Russia, which is headed by the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Ermak and ex-adviser to the US President on national security issues, former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, issued recommendations to expand the list of sanctions against Russia.
The annual report prepared by Valdai top experts, including Oleg Barabanov, Timofey Bordachev, Yaroslav Lisovolik, Fyodor Lukyanov, Andrey Sushentsov and Ivan Timofeev, states the their earlier projections (that have become gloomier since 2018) for the global order have come true, and the conflict in Ukraine “is not just a regional conflict or even a dispute over which of the main actors will take a higher place in the global order. It's about whether this order itself will remain in its usual form and if so, how it will look like”.
🚫Deadly crash
The Su-34 bomber crashed in Yeysk on October 17, leading to death of 14 people, due to two seagulls hitting the engine, a TASS source in the security agencies said. It added the birds caused the engine to catch fire. The Investigative Committee of Russia previously called the main version of the crash a technical malfunction of the aircraft. The remains of the birds were found by experts while examining the wreckage of the plane, the agency was told.
Meanwhile, on Sunday another fighter jet crashed in Irkutsk during test flight, again on a residential building. Both pilots died, however the residents were not hurt. The reason for the crash is yet to be announced.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Russia is ready to discuss a security zone around Zaporozhye NPP, but not the demilitarization of the NPP. “We cannot fail to guard the station, not to ensure its safety. The protective zone is different, its parameters are under discussion. We think that a certain process of coordination, including diplomatic, with the agency of the parameters of such a protective zone is not just possible — it is necessary", Ryabkov told Izvestia on the sidelines of a diplomatic forum in Moscow.
