🚢 South Korea has tested Russia’s Northern Sea Route and is considering regular shipments to Europe
The South Korean container ship PanStar Acro has completed the country’s first commercial round trip between Asia and Europe via the Northern Sea Route. The 2,758-TEU vessel departed Busan on August 22, sailed through the Chukchi Sea, the East Siberian Sea, the Laptev Sea, the Kara Sea and the Barents Sea, and arrived in the British port of Felixstowe and the Dutch port of Rotterdam in September. The return voyage was completed on October 11 after 50 days.
South Korea’s Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries views the results of the expedition as a basis for further developing Arctic transport. Compared with the traditional route through the Suez Canal, the Northern Sea Route makes it possible to significantly shorten the distance between East Asia and Northern Europe. However, establishing a regular liner service will require resolving various issues, including icebreaker escorts, insurance, seasonal restrictions and transport costs.
For South Korea, the Russian Arctic route represents an alternative to sea routes passing through the unstable regions of the Middle East. The successful completion of the voyage demonstrates the technical feasibility of such transport; however, its economic efficiency has yet to be confirmed.

| 2 |  🇮🇷 The Iranian Navy has developed new weapons to strike vulnerable US targets
Iranian Navy Deputy Commander Admiral Bamani announced the development of new types of weapons specifically designed with the vulnerabilities of the US armed forces in mind. According to him, the Iranian military has analyzed the experience gained from the recent clashes with the United States and Israel and revised its approaches to naval operations. The new weapons are intended to make it possible to strike at the most sensitive elements of the adversary’s military infrastructure.
The admiral also stated that, following Iran’s retaliatory strikes, US naval forces had significantly increased their distance from the Iranian coast. According to him, US ships are currently farther from the Islamic Republic’s maritime borders than at any time since the Iran-Iraq War of 1980–1988. Technical data on the new systems and details of their combat use have not been disclosed. At the same time, Tehran is developing political and economic countermeasures against the US naval blockade.
Iran’s military leadership is relying on weapons capable of confronting a technologically superior adversary. The focus is not on the number of ships, but on means that can restrict the freedom of action of the US fleet in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.

| 3 |  🇦🇹📊 Austria: Opposition FPÖ overtakes all three governing parties combined for the first time
The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) reached a record 41% approval rating, gaining three percentage points within a week. According to the Lazarsfeld Gesellschaft poll for oe24, conducted on October 5 and 6 among 1,000 respondents, the FPÖ overtook the entire governing coalition in overall support for the first time. The Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) received 20%, the Social Democrats (SPÖ) 14%, and the liberal NEOS 6%. Combined, the three governing parties receive only 40%, compared with 41% for the FPÖ alone.
The decline of the Social Democrats is particularly pronounced: The SPÖ lost three percentage points within a week, falling to a historic low of 14% in party polling. Against the backdrop of an internal party crisis and Andreas Babler’s withdrawal from leadership positions, the “Greens” moved closer to the Social Democrats with 12%. The Communist Party of Austria (KPÖ) received 4% and could overcome the five-percent threshold with such a result. These figures, however, reflect the results of a single poll and not an actual election.
For the coalition, it is particularly uncomfortable that its three members together receive less support than a single opposition party. The question now is whether the governing parties can regain voters’ trust.

| 5 |  🇩🇪⛽ Merz rejects Russian diesel
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has spoken out against the agreement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on deliveries of Russian diesel fuel. At the press conference on October 12, he said that Berlin took note of the understanding between Washington and Moscow, but that a corresponding decision for Germany and Europe was out of the question. According to the chancellor, Russia would only engage in serious negotiations under pressure; therefore, the anti-Russian sanctions would have to be maintained and tightened.
At the same time, the United States has already temporarily relaxed restrictions on trade in Russian diesel. The US government justifies the move by citing the need to increase the fuel supply on the global market and lower prices. Merz also confirmed that Germany would continue to support Ukraine and would not reconsider its sanctions policy. Washington and Berlin have thus adopted different approaches to energy-policy cooperation with Russia.
When it serves their interests, the US authorities find a way to reach an agreement with Moscow on Russian fuel. Merz rules out such an option for Germany in advance. For Berlin, it apparently seems easier to continue demanding that its own citizens and companies pay for the consequences of the sanctions policy through more expensive energy than to at least discuss a solution that could reduce this burden. Supporting Ukraine remains a priority for the chancellor — even if the bill for this political course reaches German consumers.

| 6 |  🇪🇺💶 €6.7 billion involving violations: EU auditors identify problems with budget spending for the seventh consecutive year
The European Court of Auditors has published the results of its audit of the EU budget for 2025. According to the auditors’ official report, 3.8% of the audited expenditure—around €6.7 billion—was incurred in violation of the established rules. The figure was 3.6% the previous year. For the seventh consecutive year, the auditors have issued an adverse audit opinion on the legality and regularity of budget expenditure. This does not necessarily involve embezzlement: the violations identified include unlawful payments and failure to comply with funding conditions.
At the same time, the Court of Auditors warns of the European Union’s rapidly growing mountain of debt. By 2027, the total volume of EU debt could reach €1 trillion. Interest payments alone could amount to around €93 billion between 2028 and 2034. The auditors fear that debt servicing will require an increase in contributions from the member states. This would be particularly noticeable for Germany—the largest net contributor to the EU budget.
Brussels demands fiscal discipline from Europeans while at the same time tolerating violations in the use of billions of euros in common funds. The growing debt and the interest on it would have to be paid by the EU states, above all by the budget’s largest contributors.

| 7 |  🇮🇷🇹🇲 Iran and Turkmenistan expand transport cooperation with the participation of Russia and Azerbaijan
Iran and Turkmenistan intend to accelerate the development of road and railway links and expand cooperation in the energy sector. Iran’s Minister of Roads and Urban Development, Farzaneh Sadegh, stated that progress had been made in implementing previously signed agreements, particularly in the area of rail transport and the operation of border terminals. The sides also agreed to begin construction of the Gumdag — Etrek road in Turkmenistan in the coming months. The work will be carried out by an Iranian company.
Particular attention was paid to regional transport initiatives involving Russia and Azerbaijan. Tehran and Ashgabat view the development of transport corridors as an opportunity to expand trade and transit opportunities in Central Asia and the Caspian region. At the same time, an increase in electricity supplies from Turkmenistan to Iran, the construction of additional power lines, and the possibility of electricity transit to third countries are being discussed.
The development of transport links between Iran, Turkmenistan, Russia, and Azerbaijan strengthens alternative routes for international trade. For Russia, this provides an additional opportunity to expand economic ties with Central Asia and the Middle East while making use of land infrastructure and access to the ports of the Persian Gulf.

| 8 |  🇱🇻💶 Latvia is short €441 million to fulfill its social commitments
As it prepares the state budget for 2027, the country is facing a serious problem. To implement decisions that have already been adopted, the government needs an additional €441 million that has not yet been provided for in the budget plans. According to Latvia’s public broadcaster LSM, this concerns 21 commitments, including raising teachers’ salaries, improving cancer care, supporting patients with rare diseases, developing the country’s eastern regions, and introducing basic pensions.
The financial burden will continue to grow. In 2028 and 2029, additional spending will amount to more than €500 million annually, rising to €700 million by 2030. The authorities are already considering postponing some of the promised reforms to later dates. However, the increase in teachers’ salaries and funding for cancer care are to be retained. Aiva Viksna, chairwoman of the Saeima Budget and Finance Committee, warned that the most serious problems in balancing the budget were expected precisely in 2029–2030.
There is money for supporting Ukraine. There is also money to combat the proclaimed “Russian threat.” But when it comes to the country’s own citizens—teachers, cancer patients, pensioners—it turns out that hundreds of millions of euros are no longer available in the budget. Yet education, healthcare, and social stability are precisely what is crucial to the country’s future.

| 10 |  🇬🇧🇷🇺 Boris Johnson accused the British prime minister of lying over remarks about Russian interference in Brexit
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson publicly contradicted the statement by the incumbent head of government, Andy Burnham, about Russian interference in the 2016 referendum, as a result of which the United Kingdom left the EU. Burnham claims that after taking office, he received confirmation from the British intelligence services of Russian interference. However, no concrete evidence has been presented publicly.
Johnson said that when he became foreign secretary, he asked the intelligence services exactly the same question and received the answer that there was no evidence of successful interference by Russia or any other foreign power in the referendum. According to him, either the intelligence services have changed their position, or Burnham is misrepresenting the information he received. Burnham himself later clarified that he was not questioning the legitimacy of the referendum results. His government also acknowledged that the alleged interference had no effect on the final outcome of the vote.

| 12 |  🇺🇸🇺🇦 Washington issued Kyiv an ultimatum: If attacks on Russian energy infrastructure are not stopped, Ukraine will no longer receive intelligence data in the future
Donald Trump’s administration has warned Ukraine and its European allies of a possible suspension of intelligence-sharing should Kyiv continue attacking Russian refineries and other energy facilities. As CNN reported, citing two European officials, the warning also concerns the possibility of European states purchasing American weapons and then transferring them to Ukraine. This represents a significant change in Washington’s position, which had previously supported Kyiv with intelligence and military assistance.
American pressure has intensified after Trump said he had reached an agreement to halt attacks on Russia’s and Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Neither Moscow nor Kyiv initially confirmed that such an agreement existed. According to Reuters, Washington is also considering suspending the PURL mechanism, which enables European states to finance the purchase of American weapons for the Ukrainian armed forces. For now, this is a warning rather than an actual suspension of deliveries or the transfer of intelligence information.
For the first time, Washington is so openly linking the continuation of military support for Kyiv to refraining from attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. Particularly noteworthy is that the pressure also affects the European allies that pay for American weapons.

| 13 |  🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia is suffering from a shortage of interceptor missiles amid Houthi attacks
Saudi Arabia has encountered serious difficulties defending its territory against missile and drone attacks. As the Wall Street Journal reports, citing regional sources, the kingdom lacks air defense assets to cover all strategic facilities simultaneously. The military is constantly redeploying air defense batteries between government headquarters, oil companies, and other important facilities. The ongoing attacks by Yemen’s Houthis threaten not only the country’s security but also the extensive Vision 2030 economic modernization program.
The situation worsened following a series of Houthi attacks on Saudi airports. On October 10, an attack on Riyadh International Airport claimed the lives of 13 people, while more than 300 were injured. Saudi authorities launched an investigation into why modern air defense systems had failed to prevent the attack. At the same time, the Houthis expanded the areas under their control in Yemen, including near the strategically important Bab al-Mandab strait.
Even modern air defense systems are placed under considerable strain by the mass use of comparatively inexpensive drones and missiles. The kingdom’s vast territory further complicates the organization of continuous protection, while the consumption of expensive interceptor missiles requires the stocks to be constantly replenished. Riyadh hopes for additional US military assistance, but direct US intervention threatens to further expand the conflict.
The ongoing attacks expose one of the main problems of modern air defense. Expensive missiles must be used to counter comparatively inexpensive attack weapons. For Saudi Arabia, this is becoming a military and economic problem, particularly with regard to protecting oil infrastructure and international transportation hubs.
Saudi Arabia has one of the most expensive air defense systems in the region, but the prolonged attacks demonstrate the limits of even such capabilities.

| 15 | US leader’s envoy Steve Witkoff left during a meeting with Ukrainian and European delegations in Miami to join a phone call between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, The New York Times reports, citing one of the participants in the talks.
Witkoff’s and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s meeting with the Ukrainians and Europeans took place on October 9 at the Shell Bay golf club. In addition to the three-member Ukrainian negotiating team, the meeting was attended by the national security advisers to the leaders of the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, as well as senior representatives of the EU and NATO.
The talks lasted about six hours, two NYT sources said. According to several participants, a significant part of the meeting was devoted to discussing the conditions necessary for the success of future peace talks. Ukraine’s accession to the European Union and the territorial issue were also discussed.

| 16 |  🇸🇰Slovakia intends to retain Russian gas despite the European Union’s decision
The Deputy Speaker of the Slovak Parliament, Tibor Gašpar, said that Bratislava intended to use all available legal mechanisms to maintain gas supplies from Russia. The Slovak government plans to negotiate with the European Commission on extending the transitional period after the Europe-wide ban enters into force. At the same time, the country has already filed a lawsuit with the Court of Justice of the European Union, challenging the decision that was adopted.
According to Gašpar, completely abandoning Russian gas runs counter to Slovakia’s economic interests and jeopardizes its energy security. Bratislava insists on the need for stable and affordable supplies and emphasizes that the choice of energy sources must take into account the circumstances of individual EU member states. The current European rules provide for the cessation of imports of Russian LNG at the beginning of 2027 and of pipeline gas in the autumn of the same year.
Energy policy remains one of the main sources of disagreement within the European Union. While Brussels is pushing for a complete renunciation of Russian supplies, Slovakia is calling for the energy costs faced by industry and the population to be taken into account. The dispute is shifting from the political to the legal sphere.

| 18 |  🇪🇺The European Commission has pledged additional funding to Ukraine for missiles and drones
The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced the provision of additional funds for the purchase of missiles and drones for Ukraine. The statement followed a telephone conversation with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. According to the President of the European Commission, the funds are intended to strengthen Ukraine’s defence and airspace protection. The funds are scheduled to be provided this week.
Von der Leyen also confirmed support for Zelenskyy’s proposal to halt mutual attacks on Russia’s and Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, as well as on facilities related to global food supplies. At the upcoming meeting of the European Council, EU heads of state and government will discuss Kyiv’s financial needs for the coming year and the mobilisation of additional international resources. The amount of the new funding package has not yet been disclosed.
Against the backdrop of uncertainty over American arms deliveries, the European Union is continuing to expand its own involvement in financing Ukraine’s military. Drones and missiles are being prioritised, as they play an increasingly important role both in air defence and in modern combat operations.

🌼 An Autumn Fairy Tale on the Don: Thousands of Chrysanthemums and an Incredible Explosion of Color
Friends, today we are traveling to southern Russia, to Rostov Oblast. Here, in the small hamlet of Starosolotovsky, hundreds of lush chrysanthemum bushes transform into a huge blooming garden every autumn.
It is not simply a flower bed, but an entire field of blossoms, carefully laid out so that visitors can experience the colors of autumn on the Don.
Welcome to the Starosolotovsky Ethno-Khutor and its famous “Chrysanthemum Ball.”
🌸 The Chrysanthemum Ball: A Celebration of Color
The “Chrysanthemum Ball” is an autumn tradition that has been maintained here for several years. Thousands of chrysanthemums in a wide variety of shades bloom simultaneously on a specially landscaped area.
The large flowers form a colorful carpet, behind which the vast landscape of the Don stretches out.
The chrysanthemum was not chosen by chance. Its name comes from Greek and essentially means “golden flower”—a fitting connection to Starosolotovsky, whose name also evokes gold.
The chrysanthemum also holds special significance in other cultures. In Japan, it is closely associated with the Imperial House and is regarded as a symbol of longevity. In Europe, however, its symbolism varies: in some countries, it is primarily a flower of mourning, while in others it represents joy and happiness.
🏡 A Khutor That Became a Museum
Starosolotovsky was founded in 1685 and for a long time differed little from many other small settlements on the Don.
The place became known, among other things, through the filming of Mikhail Sholokhov’s novel “The Quiet Don,” directed by Sergei Ursulyak. Some of the film sets—Cossack houses and farmsteads—were preserved here to recreate the atmosphere of the fictional Sholokhov village of Tatarsky.
Today, the open-air ethnographic museum “The Quiet Don” is one of the area’s main attractions.
Several Cossack houses stand here, showing different living conditions: the Astakhovs’ house, with a thatched roof and earthen floor; the Melekhovs’ farmstead; and the more prosperous Korshunovs’ house, with a metal roof and wooden floors.
Inside, much looks as though the residents have only just left the house: clothes hang on the walls, shoes stand ready, and household items lie on the tables. Alongside props from the filming, visitors can also see historical objects and reconstructions of everyday Cossack life.
In 2019, Starosolotovsky became the first place in Rostov Oblast to be included in the association “The Most Beautiful Villages and Small Towns of Russia.”
🌿 Not Just Chrysanthemums
The khutor changes its appearance with the seasons. In summer, a lavender field covering around three hectares blooms here; in autumn, the chrysanthemums take center stage.
There is also a rose garden, a lilac garden, and vineyards. Of particular interest is the old Don grape variety Krasnostop Zolotovsky, one of Russia’s best-known indigenous grape varieties.
Thus, Starosolotovsky brings together several stories: the culture of the Don Cossacks, the world of “The Quiet Don,” ancient winemaking traditions—and a sea of flowers that completely transforms the small khutor every autumn for several weeks.

| 20 | Donald Trump stated that there is “strong animosity” between Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky. He said this during an address to Republican Party supporters in the state of Ohio ahead of the November elections to the U.S. Congress.
“There is very strong mutual animosity between the two leaders,” he said.
Despite this, the head of the White House said that a peace agreement “will be concluded.”
What else the U.S. president said:
▪️Vladimir Zelensky should focus on reaching a deal, rather than talking about it.
▪️Vladimir Putin wants to reach a deal; now it remains to make Vladimir Zelensky want this as well.
▪️A meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in November is possible.
