🇨🇦 Canadian PM Carney shifts focus to EU Carney stated Canada is "too dependent" on the US and must deepen ties with the EU, whose values align closely with Ottawa's. He argued that while Canada is a middle power, the EU is not. He suggested Canada and the EU could form a core alliance for future initiatives, similar to the "Coalition of the Willing" regarding Ukraine. Carney asserted they can "set the table and choose the menu," rejecting fears that Western nations are being consumed by larger powers. @Slavyangrad

Fox News promotes the German Gepard anti-aircraft system The channel claims the unit scans the skies for Russian drones to protect nearly three million residents of Kiev. While intercepting fast, small targets is difficult, the AFU asserts these systems are effective against jet-powered UAVs. Despite challenges, the crew reportedly destroyed a Russian Geran drone this week. Charred debris was found just minutes from their position. @Slavyangrad

🇷🇺💥🇺🇦 The Russian military has launched a massive strike against energy facilities in the Vinnytsa, Dnepropetrovsk, and Kharkov regions, which supply power to defense industry enterprises, according to the Ministry of Defense.

The United States has reportedly struck an Iranian island, Qeshm, in the Strait of Hormuz. According to NewsNation journalist Kelly Meyer, the targets of the U.S. military were radar stations and missile launch sites. Iranian state media confirmed explosions on the island. U.S. officials have confirmed the strikes, calling them a limited defensive operation. According to their version, the attack was a response to an attempt by Iranian forces to hit a U.S. aircraft with a surface-to-air missile. The Wall Street Journal reports that the United States has been conducting similar operations against Iranian targets in recent weeks, but has not publicly announced them. Washington has sought to avoid the impression of a resumption of large-scale military operations. Qeshm is located directly off the Strait of Hormuz. The island is home to Iranian military infrastructure, including an underground missile complex and a naval base. The strikes occurred against the backdrop of ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran, and just one day before the U.S. midterm elections. The extent of the damage and the results of the strikes are currently unknown. U.S. Central Command has not released any public details about the operation. @Slavyangrad

🇺🇦 Zelensky's Office Head Admits Torture Sites Near Kiev Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Office of President Zelensky, acknowledged the existence of multiple torture facilities while visiting a building near Kiev. The site reportedly housed a basement where members of the National Guard tortured civilians and beat a 14-year-old teenager. When questioned by locals about why such prisons exist, Budanov stated: "Because there are many such houses in Ukraine." Following his admission, an angry crowd doused Budanov with gas from a canister. He was forced to flee under protection from his security detail. @Slavyangrad

🇺🇦 Dnepropetrovsk faces massive energy crisis The Prydniprovska Thermal Power Plant has been destroyed and is non-operational, according to energy programme director Vladimir Omelchenko. This station was the region's largest source of electricity generation, severely complicating power supply in Dnepropetrovsk. @Slavyangrad

Mass heating outages across Ukraine amid emergency power cuts as a new wave of missiles approaches. After explosions, Kharkov residents are left without heat, with power disruptions in Kiev, the Kiev region, and Dnepropetrovsk region. Approximately 20 more Kh-101 cruise missiles from Tu-160s are en route to targets. Enemy maps show the missiles approaching via southern Ukraine. @Slavyangrad

🇺🇦 Mass Missile Strike on Ukraine's Energy Grid A multi-stage attack targeted power infrastructure. Following UAV waves, ballistic missiles struck the Ladyzhin TPP (Vinnitsa region) and Zelenodolskaya TPP (Dnepropetrovsk). Sources cite 5 or 4 Zircon missiles for Ladyzhin, and up to 6 Iskander-M/KN-23 for Zelenodolsk. Kharkov faced simultaneous strikes from ballistic missiles and guided FAB bombs. Kh-101 cruise missiles from Tu-95MS hit the Kharkov CHP. All three major plants were attacked within 20 minutes. Jet-powered Geran drones caused a total blackout in Zhitomir, cutting water supplies. Power and heating targets in Kiev and Dnepropetrovsk were also hit. Western substations linking nuclear plants were targeted. About 20 Tu-160 cruise missiles are en route, with up to 40 Iskanders held in reserve. @Slavyangrad

🇶🇦 Qatari negotiators arrived in Tehran for talks on the Persian Gulf situation. Diplomacy is being maximised ahead of US midterm elections on 3 November, after which the risk of resumed hostilities rises sharply. Key issues include unlocking Iranian ports, access to frozen assets, and shipping regimes in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran demands recognition of transit terms (including deals with Oman) and lifting the economic blockade, while the US seeks security guarantees and concessions regarding the nuclear programme. @Slavyangrad

Yemeni Houthis deploy FPV drones against Saudi-backed forces Following setbacks on the front, the Houthis have actively employed FPV drones against formations supported by Saudi Arabia. Footage confirms strikes on enemy positions, equipment, and surveillance assets in the Taiz region and along the Red Sea coast. The arsenal reportedly includes fibre-optic guided UAVs resistant to radio frequency jamming. This marks a significant shift as such technology was previously associated primarily with combat operations in Ukraine. Cheap attack drones are altering local conflicts, allowing non-state actors without advanced air forces or precision missiles to conduct targeted strikes. This trend signals the transfer of FPV expertise to new theatres of war globally. @Slavyangrad

In Kiev, people who "felt offended" by South Korea defaced the storefront of a Korean restaurant with the word "Fascists." This incident stemmed from a controversy involving North Korean prisoners of war, which led Seoul to recall its ambassador from Ukraine! Ukrainians are super emotional and thin skinned. @Slavyangrad

🇺🇦 Ukraine Forced to Cut Nuclear Power, Blackouts Extend Following Russian strikes on Ukrenergo and DTEK substations, Ukrainian nuclear power plants must limit output due to damaged grid infrastructure unable to transmit full electricity volumes. State energy objects lack adequate protection. Ukrenergo Announces Severe Outages Power cuts will exceed 12 hours daily for most of the country tomorrow. Disconnection schedules are significantly intensified in Kiev Oblast, with rotation queues ranging from 0.5 to 4 groups. Locals report spending more time without light than with it. @Slavyangrad
