🪖🇺🇸 US troops barred from alcohol and restricted to bases during Keen Sword drills in Japan
The measures were introduced by the US military at Tokyo's request following the recent arrest of a US Marine on Okinawa on suspicion of murder and robbery of a local woman, Kyodo reports, citing Japanese parliamentary vice-defense minister Kiyoshi Odawara.
The large-scale Keen Sword drills are being held until October 29 across wide areas of Japan and its surrounding waters. Japan has committed 45,000 personnel, while the US has deployed around 12,000, along with more than 260 aircraft, warships and large amounts of ground equipment. Units from seven other countries, including Australia, Germany and France, are also taking part.

| 3 |  +1🇷🇺🇨🇳 Igor Krasnov assesses the level of digitalization in China's judicial system
As part of his official visit to China, the Chairman of the Russian Supreme Court visited Shanghai and familiarized himself with the work of regional judicial institutions:
The Shanghai High People's Court — a key link in the metropolis' judicial system. It specializes in appeals and judicial supervision and is actively involved in international cooperation.
The China–SCO Judges Forum — organized by the court together with the Shanghai University of Political Science and Law.
Russian judges also took part in the event on the instructions of the Chairman of the Russian Supreme Court. Krasnov noted that a similar forum is planned to be held in Russia in 2027–2028, during its chairmanship of the SCO.
The Shanghai International Arbitration Court — an important institution for resolving cross-border commercial disputes.
Artificial intelligence in judicial proceedings.
The Russian delegation was shown examples of AI technologies being used in judicial work — an area Krasnov called one of the most promising for bilateral exchange of experience.
The visit to China's leading judicial institutions reflects both sides' desire to strengthen cooperation in the legal sphere and exchange best practices.

Russian forces also struck a dry cargo vessel delivering supplies for the Ukrainian army to the port of Odessa.
In the Poltava region, a railcar depot was hit — its territory is used by the Ukrainian army for storing and repairing military equipment, the ministry said.

| 7 |  Trump invokes Cold War-era law to boost US oil and refining
President Donald Trump has declared petroleum production, refining and related activities essential to US national defense, invoking powers under the Cold War-era Defense Production Act.
CNBC reported that the move could allow the administration to provide financial incentives for oil projects, pipelines and fuel storage. The presidential memo cites “constrained financing, long lead times, permitting and infrastructure bottlenecks, and supply chain limitations.”
The decision comes as crude oil and diesel prices remain elevated following the US and Israeli attacks on Iran, while Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries have added pressure to fuel supplies.
The administration has also turned to Russian diesel. Earlier in October, Trump announced an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin under which Russia would release fuel to the US and global markets. Trump said the planned volumes included more than 300,000 metric tons initially, another 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons thereafter, while the US temporarily eased sanctions restrictions to facilitate deliveries.

| 8 |  +1🚫 Hegseth bans Pentagon personnel from betting on US military operations
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has prohibited Department of War personnel from using nonpublic information to place bets on military outcomes, including through prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi.
The order applies to both classified and unclassified information, as well as transactions made indirectly through third parties.

Violations may result in administrative, disciplinary or criminal action under military or federal law.

| 9 |  🇬🇧 Britain tells households to stockpile food and water as Russia war fears grow — reports
The UK government is urging every household to stockpile enough supplies for 72 hours, including nine liters of bottled water per person, food, cash, blankets, a first aid kit, batteries and even a wind-up radio, The Guardian reported.
Defence Secretary Wes Streeting went into full panic mode, warning about the supposed Russian threat and other hostile powers targeting Britain’s already crumbling infrastructure.
The campaign comes as 32 UK government websites were taken offline as a precaution over a critical PHP security flaw.
Just a day earlier, President Vladimir Putin dismissed Europe’s obsessive warnings about a future war with Russia as “political schizophrenia,” saying Russia does not want a war with European countries.

The Depesha-3 robotic system, which has already been used in the special operation zone, has a low profile, runs quietly, and is covered with camouflage netting, the Russian state corporation Rostec said.
🔶 The robot conducts nighttime raids without lights and is remotely controlled.
🔶 Its navigation relies on matching its position against a pre-mapped route, making steady movement and precision more important than speed of reaction.
🔶 “This is not a rally race, but rather like walking a tightrope — an approach that saves soldiers’ lives”
The Depesha-3 can be adapted for different tasks by fitting it with various modules. The robotic system can transport supplies, including food, fuel, and equipment, as well as evacuate wounded personnel.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi slammed French President Emmanuel Macron for flip-flopping on his position toward Iran’s nuclear program and the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Araghchi recalled Macron’s 2018 address to the US Congress, when the French leader said: “France won’t leave the JCPOA, because we signed it.”
He contrasted that with Macron’s current claim that he has always opposed “any form of nuclear activity” in Iran.

💬 “Whether I called or whether somebody else called, it doesn’t make any difference. I guess the bottom line, he put it back,” US President Donald Trump said amid days of controversy over speed restrictions.
Asked whether he told SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to restore Starlink access, Trump declined to say who intervened.
The restrictions appeared on October 13, limiting Starlink and military-grade Starshield connectivity on fast-moving platforms and disrupting Ukrainian drone operations, according to American media reports.
Reuters reported on October 22 that Trump had asked Musk to lift the restrictions and that the system began operating more normally afterward.

| 18 |  🗣EU unlikely to admit Serbia over its independent stance on Russia – Vucic
Serbia has faced years of pressure from European countries over its refusal to impose sanctions on Russia while maintaining close ties with Moscow, Aleksandar Vucic said in an interview with Sputnik.
Vucic praised Vladimir Putin for understanding Serbia's difficult position, even when Belgrade's decisions conflicted with Moscow's preferences.
🔊"He always tried to put himself in the other person's shoes, and I think that explains his political success," Vucic said, also describing Yuri Ushakov and Dmitry Peskov as trusted contacts in the Kremlin.
According to Vucic, European politicians want Serbia to join a united front against Russia.
He identified three major sources of Western pressure: Serbia's refusal to sanction Russia, its unwillingness to recognize Kosovo's independence, and its opposition to the 2024 UN resolution on Srebrenica. Vucic argued that Serbia's independent position has become an obstacle to European plans, suggesting that the EU is unlikely to admit the country anytime soon.

| 20 |  🇮🇷 Iran plans to push US to the peace table, not outlast current administration - top security official
🔊“Our goal is not to make it to 2029. Our goal is to end the war on terms that reduce the likelihood of another war,” Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and senior advisor to the supreme leader, told Drop Site News.
From underwater internet cables and Big Tech-linked AI and data center facilities to regional energy infrastructure, Iran has plenty of assets it can target in an escalation, Rezaei said, warning regional US allies that they shouldn’t assume they can wage economic war against Iran without “putting themselves at risk.”
🗣“Everyone must understand that action against Iran carries a cost. If diplomacy can bring that understanding, we prefer diplomacy. But if the war continues, Iran has the tools it needs to keep responding.”
Iran has put forward a new diplomatic proposal for resuming negotiations, and will not open the Hormuz Strait or continue talks until its conditions are met, Rezaei said.
Iran has spent years building up “redundancies” in its MIC and military facilities to be able to absorb damage, repair and restore its capabilities, and that the bigger picture question isn’t about who has more missiles, but who can sustain continuous production over a prolonged war, the official noted.
Iran has no illusion that it will not face pain if the conflict continues, but will not bend to US pressure, Rezaei said.
“Iran will suffer from a prolonged blockade; anyone who says otherwise is not being realistic…But economic pain and strategic collapse are not the same thing. Washington has repeatedly made the mistake of assuming that, if it can make life inside Iran difficult enough, Iran’s political system will consequently accept America’s strategic demands. These are two different calculations.”
