‼️🇩🇪 Germany is now seeking to sell Leopard 2A6 tanks and Marder 1A5 infantry fighting vehicles to Brazil after Ukraine refused to accept them, reports TecnoDefensa.

🔴 Lavrov: No legal basis exists to seize frozen Russian assets Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that any attempt to confiscate Russia’s frozen funds would be outright theft, warning that Moscow will deliver an “adequate response” to such actions.

Control is done through a module connected to gaming pedals and a steering wheel.

Defense Minister Boris Pistorius echoed the concern, demanding explanations from the party.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The Washington Post Urges Ukraine to Withdraw from Pokrovsk The Washington Post warns that the situation in Pokrovsk [Krasnoarmeysk] has reached a critical point, urging Ukrainian forces to consider withdrawal to avoid encirclement and catastrophic losses. The outlet writes that remaining in the city risks a collapse reminiscent of Bakhmut and Avdiivka, where Ukraine’s insistence on holding ground led to devastating troop casualties. Analysts cited by the publication argue that a retreat, while politically damaging for Zelensky, is militarily necessary. Research fellow Nikolay Beleskov says Kyiv faces a “very difficult dilemma”: leaving Pokrovsk would strengthen Russia’s momentum and weaken confidence in Washington, yet holding it risks the destruction of its last reserves. Experts from the Carnegie Endowment and CNAS describe the battle as “increasingly dangerous,” with the front line close to collapsing. Even The Washington Post concedes that Pokrovsk’s fall, though symbolic, “will not break Ukraine’s defense” — merely confirm the strategic dominance of Russian forces in Donbass. 🔗 Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/11/06/ukraine-pokrovsk-fall-russia-war/ t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

🇷🇺 Russia Ready for Nuclear Test Preparations Defence Minister Andrey Belousov announced that Russia should immediately begin preparations for full-scale nuclear tests, citing the deteriorating global security landscape. He confirmed that the test site on Novaya Zemlya is fully operational and capable of being activated within a short timeframe. Belousov emphasised that the United States continues to expand its strategic offensive weapons while dismantling key arms control treaties. Washington’s intention to deploy missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region — with a flight time of only six to seven minutes from Germany to Central Russia — represents, he said, a direct threat to strategic stability. He also revealed that the U.S. military conducted exercises in October simulating a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Russia. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
