One thing I want to highlight, and I think it’s one of the most important aspects of this escalation, is that all of these ships have no direct connection to Ukraine. They are neither coming from nor heading to Ukraine. Most are sailing from Turkey to Romania. Meanwhile, incidents that initially occurred in exclusive economic zones are now happening closer to shore and even in territorial waters.

⚡️ First tanker carrying Russian fuel heads to New York On October 22, the Malta-flagged tanker Agioi Fanendos loaded 40,000 tonnes of Russian fuel at the port of Primorsk. According to Reuters, the vessel is expected to arrive in the US on November 7. However, as Ukrainian presidential commissioner Vladyslav Vlasiuk previously calculated, by the time the tanker reaches the US, Americans will have exported more than 4 million tonnes of their own fuel — 100 times more. And the entire shipment would cover just two hours of US diesel consumption.

Canadian PM Mark Carney: The president of the United States is under no illusions. It's absolutely clear where I stand, where Canada stands, where Canadians stand. We will never be the 51st state. We are going our own way. We're preparing, we're strong, and we're getting stronger.

North Korea has not answered U.S. outreach, and no meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong Un is on the calendar, according to Reuters. Pyongyang appears to want concessions first, possibly sanctions relief. Officials in Washington and Seoul view a summit this year as unlikely, though one could come together quickly.

@clashreport Very true : inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia is unrealistic ; you just have to wait for Russia to self-inflict a strategic defeat on itself

Putin: It has become obvious to everyone that defeating Russia on the battlefield is impossible. Inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia is unrealistic. And I think that those who have sought to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia throughout the centuries will recognize the realities of modern life and understand that it is better to live in friendship with Russia. This is in the interests of their own peoples.

⚡️ Data centers keep exploding in Russia. The attack could disrupt a number of Russian government digital systems One of the Russian Federal Tax Service's key facilities in Gorodets, Nizhny Novgorod region, has reportedly been targeted.

American company Vantor has released an image of the ruSSian satellite Kosmos-2612, which conducted a series of maneuvers in close proximity to the American commercial satellite ICEYE-X36 between October 16 and 18. At the time the image was taken, the distance between the satellites was approximately 1 km. However, according to LeoLabs, they may subsequently have approached to within around 500 meters of each other. The ruSSian spacecraft deliberately adjusted its altitude and orbital velocity, gradually closing the distance from hundreds of kilometers away. It then maneuvered near ICEYE-X36 for some time before beginning to move away.

⚡️ BREAKING: Russian military intelligence hacked Trump's son-in-law's phone — then Dutch intelligence began spying on Kushner According to Vanity Fair, Dutch intelligence gained access to a secret GRU server in 2017, where it discovered screenshots from Jared Kushner's iPhone. Intelligence officers were subsequently able to monitor what was happening on his phone screen. The most intriguing discovery involved bank accounts. Vanity Fair alleges that Kushner had access to two accounts linked to the UAE and Saudi Arabia. At least $2 billion was allegedly transferred to these accounts via Azerbaijan. 🔺 All of this reportedly took place during Trump's first presidential term, when Kushner served as a senior White House adviser. Kushner has called the allegations “completely insane,” insisting that none of these events ever happened. “These are outrageous fabrications being presented as investigative journalism. This is not journalism,” Trump's son-in-law wrote on X.

🇪🇺 Who will talk to Putin? Europe fears being left out of a deal The EU has a serious problem: there's no one to talk to Putin! European capitals are discussing who should speak on behalf of the entire bloc and are considering more direct contacts with Moscow, Politico reports. Among the potential candidates are Finnish President Alexander Stubb, who diplomats believe has the best relationship with Trump, and European Council President António Costa.

🚨 A new Yalta? Ukraine's fate could be decided without… Ukraine Another media outlet has reported on the possibility. The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump, Putin, and Xi Jinping could meet on November 18–19 at the APEC summit in Shenzhen, China. The idea was reportedly proposed by Witkoff as a way to discuss ending the war without Kyiv at the table. According to the newspaper, even some of Trump's fellow Republicans are puzzled by the proposal. Media reports draw parallels with the 1945 Yalta Conference, when three world leaders decided the fate of European countries without consulting them.
