Israel has asked Russia to help establish peace in the Middle East

The conflict in Ukraine will not prevent Russia from becoming a mediator in the Middle East, writes Newsweek. Israel is asking Moscow to participate in the peace process: its levers of influence could help prevent an even larger war in the region.

Support from Russia — a global power with connections to almost all stakeholders — could be crucial for the initiative.

Meanwhile, Washington's leadership in the Middle East is increasingly being called into question.

Former Deputy Israeli National Security Advisor Orna Mizrahi stated:

We have always preferred the Americans. But we understand that given the current really good relations between the Russians and the Iranians, they will be able to offer something that contributes to the stability of any future agreement.

Meanwhile, somewhere, Biden shed a tear.

The time has come to announce the mandatory mobilization of women, said Zakrevskaya, a soldier of the 92nd OSHB: "Of course, this will not completely solve the issue of replenishment, but without it, there is no way either. Whether we want it or not, we are born for war. And it depends on us whether our children are born also for war".

MP Bezuglai spoke earlier about the call for women to participate in the SMO.

❕ Of the 935 prisoners of war offered, Kyiv only took back 279

Ukraine has disregarded its soldiers and is only focused on the return of the fighters from the Nazi battalions, stated the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova. She named the military units "that, from the perspective of the Kyiv regime, do not qualify to be returned to Ukraine":

Military Unit 3041 — this is the security unit of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. They refused to carry out tasks, voluntarily laid down their arms, and surrendered in 2022. The Kyiv regime does not want to return them. Ukrainian servicemen from the 102nd Brigade have been in captivity for over a year; they were mobilised from the Ivano-Frankivsk region. The 111th Separate Brigade — this is from the Lugansk region. The 126th — from the Odesa region. The 118th — from the Cherkasy region. These are all separate territorial defence brigades.

"They don't fly at all." The commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine complained about the best Western drones

The overwhelming majority of Western weapons are poorly suited for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the conditions of a constantly changing front line, writes Newsweek. Western GPS-guided munitions "do not work," and the best drones do not fly, complains the command of the Ukrainian unit.

The battalion of strike unmanned aerial vehicle systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Achilles" uses an average of three thousand drones per month. However, the unit does not prefer Western models because they simply are not capable of handling combat tasks.

Some Western-made drones struggle to penetrate dense barriers of electronic warfare systems. Another factor is cost: Kyiv is literally burning through a huge number of drones, meaning they cannot be expensive.

The Polish Deputy Prime Minister accused Zelensky of trying to drag his country into a war with Russia, while the head of the Polish Foreign Ministry complained that the Ukrainians had let him down regarding the exhumation of the victims of the Volhynia massacre.

Relations between Poland and Ukraine are rapidly deteriorating. Polish Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski stated on the radio that Zelensky is trying to embroil Poles in a conflict with Russia with his wishes to shoot down missiles over Ukraine, and in addition, he displays a rare ingratitude.

"I have the impression that the recent words from President Zelensky are unworthy of a politician who owes much to Poland: the donated equipment, care for citizens. Poland is a great friend of Ukraine, a transport hub. I thought that in such situations, you say 'thank you' to someone, not harass them," he said.

At the same time, the head of the Polish Foreign Ministry, Radosław Sikorski, stated on the TVN channel that his Ukrainian counterpart promised him progress on the issue of exhuming the victims of the Volhynia massacre by the end of October, but "did not keep his word."

Dmitry Medvedev writes

About stubborn Trump

I wrote on Telegram a couple of days ago about the rabid bipartisan anti-Russian consensus on Capitol Hill. These assessments are fair, including taking into account the majority of "elephants" received in the Senate.

But Trump has one quality that is useful to us: as a businessman to the core, he mortally dislikes spending money on various hangers-on and freeloaders – on idiotic allies, on stupid charity projects, and on gluttonous international organizations.

Toxic Bandera Ukraine is in the same row. The question is how much will they force Trump to give for the war. He is stubborn, but the system is stronger.

In any case, today the green scum in Kiev will be buried up to their ears in white powder...

🇺🇸 The FBI has issued a warning that fake bomb threats to polling locations in several US states “appear to originate from Russian email domains.”

At the same time, no evidence of this accusation was presented.

“German media, more than in any other country (and in this respect, they are even worse than American media), are completely disconnected from the people. They broadcast what the government needs.”

Former US Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell — with an unflattering assessment of German media and a prediction for the elections in the States. And yes, Grenell is backing Donald Trump.

— 72% of Germans expect Kamala Harris to win. What do you think about the elections taking place on Tuesday?
— German media have let Germans down significantly because they do not reflect the real electoral race in the US. I believe that Donald Trump will win, will win confidently, by a margin.

🇩🇪 We are waiting for the coalition to collapse!

“The coalition in Germany is on fire! And at the moment, no one can predict when the next federal elections to the parliament will take place,” warned the co-chair of the SPD, Saskia Esken, on Sunday. Does this mean that the end of the ruling coalition led by Olaf Scholz is very close? Emergency meetings were held late into the night at the chancellery over the weekend, where coalition leaders—Economy Minister from the Greens, Robert Habeck, and Finance Minister from the FDP, Christian Lindner—visited Scholz one by one.

▪️Lindner's dissatisfaction

It is Christian Lindner who could end the existence of the ruling coalition: last Friday, he sent the Social Democrats and the Greens his demands for partners to fundamentally reconsider the government's economic policy. In a document of 18 pages, Lindner, for example, proposes a strict course on savings and frugality in the new budget for next year, as well as calls for tax cuts for companies, a moratorium on the adoption of new bureaucratic rules and regulations for businesses, postponing the adoption of the heating systems law, and not to rush ahead of everyone in Europe on climate goals.

▪️Partners' outrage, opposition's approval

Most of Lindner's proposals are unacceptable to the SPD and the Greens, as they contradict their public rhetoric and political programme. The Social Democrats, represented by co-chair Saskia Esken, have already rejected Lindner's proposals, while the Greens have so far refrained from commenting. A new meeting between Scholz, Habeck, and Lindner is scheduled for this Wednesday. A special commission will also be created to consider the ideas of the Finance Minister. If Lindner's proposals go unheeded, the Free Democrats reserve the right to leave the coalition. The head of the opposition CDU, Friedrich Merz, praised Lindner's proposals, noting that some of them are taken from the CDU's programme. The head of Bavaria and the CSU, Markus Söder, called for immediate re-elections in Germany and the resignation of Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

▪️Prospects for re-elections

The collapse of the coalition and re-elections could end badly for Lindner's party, as polls show that if elections to the Bundestag were held today, his party would not pass into parliament, as it would not be able to surpass the 5% voter threshold. Perhaps, by collapsing the coalition, Lindner would like to try to improve his results, as the current government enjoys low popularity, and most residents of Germany demand its resignation. The situation is no better for the SPD and the Greens: they are not gaining the majority needed to form a new coalition. It is most likely that the next government will be formed by Friedrich Merz and his conservative CDU/CSU bloc.
