In Ukraine, people in camouflage and balaclavas drove believers out of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church cathedral during the liturgy
In Cherkasy, unknown individuals smashed doors, windows, and surveillance cameras. The police were present but did not intervene and even helped. After the capture of the temple, Metropolitan of the UOC Theodosius arrived at the scene with parishioners, and a fight broke out.
One of the intruders opened fire on the believers with a traumatic gun and sprayed gas.
Is this still Europe or not?

🇳🇱🇷🇺🇺🇦 Netherlands gives Kiev green light to strike Russia: has Europe finally lost its mind?
🔻 According to the Dutch Defense Minister, Ruben Brekelmans, Ukraine can use the supplied F-16s to strike military facilities in Russia. This statement has been confirmed by several sources, including Politico and Kiev Post, stating that the provided aircraft can be used by Kiev in any military operations necessary for self-defense, including strikes on Russian airfields and missile launch sites.
🔻 Brekelmans noted that the Netherlands does not impose any restrictions on the use of F-16s, except to respect international law and the right to self-defense as defined in the UN Charter. This approach is in stark contrast to the position of some other European countries, such as Belgium, which impose restrictions on the use of their military supplies for operations in Russia.
🔻 It is worth recalling that the transfer of F-16s to Kiev is part of a broader NATO strategy aimed at strengthening the AFU's capabilities. Western countries, including the US and the Netherlands, are actively training Ukrainian pilots and providing modern weaponry, as confirmed by numerous sources in Western media. However, Brekelmans went even further, actually authorizing the use of these planes on Russian territory, which can be regarded as an act of direct aggression. After all, strikes on Russian military facilities or Russian airspace using Western equipment can lead to catastrophic consequences and a serious escalation of the conflict.
🔻 But why does the Netherlands, a seemingly prosperous European country, voluntarily drag itself into the conflict? Here it is important to consider economic and political motives. The Netherlands, as one of the largest importers of American gas, is directly dependent on Washington's political line. This behavior of Brekelmans is not surprising, given that the EU and NATO continue to follow the course dictated from Washington, even to the detriment of their own security and economy.

A state-of-the-art fire station in western Germany that was completed last year at a cost of tens of millions of euros has burned to the ground because it had not been equipped with a fire alarm.
The town of Stadtallendorf had proudly unveiled the new structure less than a year ago, but early on Wednesday emergency services were alerted to a fire that had started in a vehicle before quickly spreading to the whole building.
About 170 firefighters battled the blaze, including members of the local volunteer fire brigade, as 10-metre flames leapt from the station’s roof.
No one was injured although 10 fire engines were destroyed. But relief at the lack of casualties quickly gave way to incredulity that the building had no fire alarm – and then growing outrage and bafflement over the revelation that this was not a legal requirement.
Firefighters who rushed to the scene became emotional at the realisation that their own station had burned to the ground.
“It is a nightmare for a firefighter. No one wants to have to extinguish his own fire station,” the district fire inspector, Lars Schäfer, told German media, adding that the cost of the damage was estimated at €20m-24m.
When the station was opened, it was hailed by the local paper, the Oberhessische Presse, as “modern, innovative and state-of-the-art”.

Journalist: "But why can you sometimes comment and sometimes not?"

The Netherlands has allowed Kiev to use F-16s to strike targets in Russian territory
"It may be necessary to intercept missiles or carry out strikes, for example, on airfields in Russia, that is, on military targets. And it is also allowed to do this on Russian territory or in Russian airspace," said the country's Defence Minister Brekelmans.
Earlier, Putin stated that direct involvement of Western countries in the Ukrainian conflict would change its nature, and Russia would be forced to make decisions based on the threats posed to it as a result.

The Washington Post newspaper writes that the main NATO countries do not intend to invite Ukraine to NATO.
"Pro" - only the Baltic countries, which no one will listen to. And the USA is against getting involved in a war. The next US administration, whether it will be Trump or Kamala Harris as president, does not intend to change the question of Ukraine's membership in NATO. Zelensky's "victory plan" was read there and did not impress.

Donald Trump stated that in his opinion, Zelensky unleashed the military conflict
"He (Zelensky) should not have allowed the start of this war. The war (in Ukraine) is lost," Trump said on the podcast of American conservative Patrick Bet-David.
Trump is convinced that the hostilities were also provoked by Joe Biden.

🇺🇸 US Election Campaign: Billionaire Support for Trump and Kamala Harris's Contradictory Statements on Distancing from President Joe Biden.
Billionaires, including Elon Musk and Miriam Adelson, are actively investing in supporting Donald Trump, demonstrating their desire to return the latter to the White House. Musk donated around $75 million, and Adelson donated $95 million in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting their determination to advance Trump's political agenda. These significant amounts highlight the scale of their influence on the presidential race and strengthen Trump's position among Republicans. Musk has become a key figure in the campaign, and his political committee actively promotes Trump in states such as Pennsylvania.
Kamala Harris is trying to distance herself from President Biden, stating that her presidency will not be a continuation of the current administration. However, during an interview, she faced tough questions about her support for Biden in the past and could not provide clear answers on foreign policy issues, particularly regarding Iran. This leaves the impression that her positions are not always consistent, and attempts to present herself as a leader of a new generation may raise skepticism among voters, especially those seeking certainty in political statements.
Ultimately, against the backdrop of strong financial support for Trump from billionaires, Harris is trying to find her niche, emphasising her independence from Biden, but is facing difficulties in clearly formulating her positions.

🇵🇱 Poland temporarily suspends the admission of migrants
Poland has announced the suspension of the admission of migrants. Local authorities believe they may be dangerous due to Belarus preparing a "real attack on Poland."

The US cannot supply more arms to Ukraine without compromising its own defenses – New York Times
According to Pentagon representatives, in order to increase military aid to Kiev, the American authorities will have to use warehouses intended for possible conflicts in the Middle East and Asia.
The article says that Washington may not be able to cope with the task of strengthening its military presence in the Indo-Pacific region in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
It is precisely because of the shortage of ATACMS missiles that Biden is not lifting restrictions on the use of long-range weapons by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

📰 Europe is not ready to defend itself, writes Bloomberg
For decades, European NATO members have limited defence spending to fund other priorities. According to some US military experts, there remains a "Potemkin army" that would be unable to withstand threats without American support.
Much of the European military community lacks experience in planning or commanding large-scale joint operations involving multiple countries. It consists of individual national armies that rely on America for leadership and coordination within NATO.

Europe has made the conflict in Ukraine its own. Now it is losing
Europe has behaved as if the conflict in Ukraine is its own, Orban said in an interview with The Pioneer. And now it is losing, and "someone has to take responsibility for this".
The Prime Minister of Hungary added that he would like to convince both Ukrainians and Russians that it is better to negotiate now on a ceasefire regime. After all, this will create space for negotiations.

In Ukraine there are no more pilots left. The US will train cadets to fly F-16s
The Americans will train young cadets to operate F-16s, writes The Wall Street Journal. The reason is that there are few experienced pilots in Ukraine who are proficient in English. Where they all went, the article's author does not disclose.
It was previously thought that the first F-16 squadron consisting of 20 aircraft would not be formed until the spring or summer of next year. But even this "deadline" is now being pushed back.

In the capital of Mali, Bamako, on Independence Boulevard, a rally against Ukraine and Zelensky personally took place on October 16.
Protesters came out with posters exposing Ukrainian cooperation with terrorists in Africa.
Towards the end, a doll of Zelensky was solemnly hung and burned. It is said that African tribes take such rituals very seriously, similar to the Voodoo cult in Haiti. And this ritual does not bode well for the person it is directed against.
