Yet another SUDDEN discovery of Ukrainian nazism by Europeans 🤦‍♂

The Economist magazine called Russian strikes on Ukraine's power grids effective.

Russian strikes on Ukraine's critical energy infrastructure look competent and effective. The British Economist magazine wrote this on October 24, citing experts in the Ukrainian energy sector.

"I believe that the Russian military was assisted by professionals from the Russian energy sector," said Dmytro Sakharuk, executive director of DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy company.

According to him, the targets were carefully chosen and the strikes targeted power substations connecting different parts of the Ukrainian energy system. The purpose of the strikes was to tear the system apart so that capacity could not be shifted between Ukrainian regions to balance the load, the specialist explained.

🛰 US commercial satellites could become legitimate targets if they are used in military operations in Ukraine

This was stated by Deputy Head of the Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Konstantin Vorontsov.

⚡️⚡️⚡️Putin’s speech in Valdai

Key Messages:

- US global dominance (as predicted in the Munich speech more than 10 years ago) is in the past. In fact, we have a new reality, where the United States and its "allies" are in the absolute minority.

- Today's confrontation is akin to the Second World War and will end with the same significant changes for the world.

- The new world is being formed multipolar, and will be built on new rules (the system that exists now has completely discredited itself). - This is not Russia (and China), but the West, its current so-called. "elites" does not have the right to participate in its construction (that is, it is they who are conditional Hitler in this war and not Russia, as this very "elitist" West wants to put it).

- Traditionalists in the West are part of the population enslaved by their elites, and as a result of the struggle they will receive liberation (a very important message).

- Well, the Victory will be ours (and whose else?)

⚡️⚡️ Some key updates on Russia and #UkraineCrisis as on October 28

🐤Musk grabs Twitter
Elon Musk, who advocated for Russia-friendly peace plan for Ukraine, became the owner of Twitter Inc on Thursday. His first move war to fire top executives. He “provided little clarity over how he will achieve the lofty ambitions he has outlined for the influential social media platform”, as Reuters puts it.

Earlier, Tesla chief said he wants to "defeat" spam bots on Twitter, make the algorithms that determine how content is presented to its users publicly available, and prevent the platform from becoming an echo chamber for hate and division, even as he limits censorship.

⚔️⚠️Sabre-rattling
U.S. President Joe Biden expressed skepticism about Russian President Vladimir Putin's remark during Valdai Discussion Club on Thursday that he had no intention of using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine."If he has no intention, why does he keep talking about it? Why is he talking about the ability to use a tactical nuclear weapon?" Biden said in an interview with NewsNation. “He's been very dangerous in how he's approached this,” Biden added.

As we reported earlier, Putin insisted Russia had not threatened to use nuclear weapons and had only responded to nuclear "blackmail" from Western leaders.

Earlier this month, Biden warned the world of possible nuclear “Armageddon”, after which the U.S. national-security spokesman had to clarify the remarks “were not based on any specific developments and that the White House does not see an imminent threat”.

💣IAEA to check on “dirty bombs”
The mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will arrive in Ukraine to check its nuclear facilities in a couple of days, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said.

He reiterated that IAEA inspectors would carry out verification activities at two locations in Ukraine, following a written request from the Ukraine government, issued after Russia made allegations about activities related to the possible production of “dirty bombs” at the two locations, which are under IAEA safeguards and have been visited regularly by IAEA inspectors.

💊NATO for EU
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has a message for U.S. Republicans making election promises to slash Ukraine’s support: That will only empower China. Stoltenberg pushed his point in an expansive interview with POLITICO this week, in which the military alliance’s chief made the case for a long-term American presence in Europe and a widespread boost in defense spending. 

“The presence of the United States — but also Canada — in Europe, is essential for the strength and the credibility of that transatlantic bond,” Stoltenberg said. 

🔴Kherson evacuation over
The head of Crimea Sergey Aksenov and the first deputy head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation Sergey Kiriyenko visited Kherson on Thursday. According to Aksenov, the process of evacuation of the residents of Kherson to the left bank of the Dnieper was completed. “I am glad that everyone was able to quickly and safely leave the territory that is being shelled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” he said.

Aksenov and Kiriyenko, who was previously in charge of Russia’s Rosatom (and the nuclear industry in whole), have also visited Zaporozhye NPP and "assessed the general situation in the area of the station”. He admitted that “things are not easy” for people working at the NPP. “We are doing everything possible to support them,” he claimed.

The Polish Senate unanimously recognised the Russian authorities as a terrorist regime.

And there is nothing surprising or extraordinary in this decision, it is just Britain continuing to "cut off" Russia from western Europe, thereby preserving US military bases and British influence in the European Union.

In response, it is urgent to recognise Poland as an occupied territory, whose people must soon be freed from the American occupation and the terrorists in power who mock Poland by supporting the Nazis and glorifying the murderers of the Polish people from the UIA and other thuggish nationalists.

Duda's bloody occupation regime must go, the Polish people will be free!

Polish politicians are already voicing their territorial "wish list": we want Galicia and Moldova!

"The real stakes of this war are Russia's future": Sejm member and former Polish Deputy Foreign Minister, Pawel Kowal, said in an interview that the main goal of the West is to make Russia collapse, while Poland's task is to take parts of Ukraine and Moldova.

"Basically, no one doubts that we have a war now between Russia and the West," Kowal said. - Russia and its future are at stake.

"But if the temperature in the flats in Berlin and Paris is low, a lot can still happen. Two or three degrees down will already make Westerners indifferent to Putin's policies."

Apparently, the report we used as a source was a misinterpretation.
According to the original article (in Polish), Mr. Kowal was talking about the accession of Ukraine and Moldova to EU, not any territorial claims by Poland.
Apologies, and thanks to our Polish subscribers for spotting!

🇷🇺🇺🇦Destruction of a suspected underwater UAV near Sevastopol

If you like to ride in a pickup truck, you would love to make a getaway!

LPR artillery destroys an AFU "flying" squad in an SUV.

🔹 Pickup trucks have become a favorite vehicle of the Ukrainian army for lightning attacks on Russian positions.

They can quickly break through fortifications or strike and immediately hide in the bush.

🔹 However today is not 1917, and it is not so easy for the "tachanka" horse drawn machine gun carts to hide.

Russian artillerymen are identifying them from drones and methodically destroying them all along the line of contact.

The moderator tried to silence Professor Jeffrey Sachs after he stated the following truth: "The most violent country in the world since 1950 has been the United States."

Worth noting also is his statement about Britain: "In the 19th century the most violent country was Britain. You can be democratic at home and ruthlessly imperial abroad."

Another Kremlin agent?

📍 In 2004 and in 2005, Time magazine twice named Jeffrey Sachs as one of the world's 100 most influential leaders.
📍 The New York Times named him "possibly the most important economist in the world", and Time magazine named him the world's most famous economist.
📍 According to The Economist, he is one of the top three most influential economists of the last decade.

PS - The last time Jeffrey Sachs was pulled off the air was when he said Nord Stream was blown up by the US.
