Ukraine launched a drone attack on Russia’s Republic of Dagestan during the night, and videos on social media show that fires reportedly broke out in several places in the city of Makhachkala while air raid sirens sounded throughout the region. There are also reports of explosions near the port. We will see if more detailed reports come during the day. Read more here.
Trump has spoken with Putin again and described the call itself as “excellent.” He also said, “We had a good call with Putin. He wants to make a deal, and if Zelensky wants to make a deal, that would be very nice.” Read more here.

Glory to Ukraine!
The 1660th day of the Russian Federation’s full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine has begun.
In the past 24 hours, a total of 277 combat engagements were recorded.

In the Sumy region, the communities of Korenok, Tovstodubove, Pysarivka, Ulanove, Khotin, Yastrubshchyna, Sadky, Myropillia, and Ivolzhanske were subjected to hostile artillery fire. Additionally, areas around Vilna Sloboda and Bereza were targeted by airstrikes.
In the past 24 hours, the defense forces’ aviation, missile units, and artillery struck an area with a concentration of enemy personnel, six artillery systems, two unmanned aerial vehicle command posts, and one air defense missile system.
In the northern Slobozhansky and Kursk sectors, our defenders repelled two enemy assault attempts in the past 24 hours.

SLAVA UKRAINI
Don't forget to donate, Ukraine's cause is ours! Support Ukraine!
Houthi apparently getting badly beaten now 👍
Without mobilization, RU will lose this in a fair war.
UA is advancing EVERYWHERE right now.
You might remember the 90th TD from the posts, they and one more division are a spent force now.
Then UA just took Myrne.
The Russian command has probably started to somewhat understand what is actually in motion now.
Maybe 1,500,000 was the magic number that broke the camel’s (the orc’s) back?
Wonderful!
We have never seen this before, not 1-2 offensives but on all fronts RU is retreating in some form.
If Europe just stays silent and sends interceptors, UA will probably solve this now (for us).
As soon as there is a breach somewhere, RU CANNOT bring forward reinforcements due to the drone shield.
The report primarily counts 88 Russian attacks out of 277.
277-88=189 Ukrainian attacks.
189/88=2.148, twice as many Ukrainian as Russian attacks.
Correction: 98 attacks in a second rough count.
277-98=179 Ukrainian attacks
179/98=1.827 almost twice as many Ukrainian as Russian attacks.
👍
We have lived in the era of eternal peace in Europe. There is no stockpile in any NATO country with 4000 interceptors to confiscate and send to Ukraine. Ukraine will have to produce their own interceptors…
Oh dear 205, it has been a while since we reached 1:1 and then we had a party 😀
This is also right in the middle of the Russian own offensive where Putin is pushing 👍
Since opsec prevails, we have to go by your numbers, surely 277 is generally a high number for the total number of attacks?
And how do you think a mobilization will change the situation? Will they manage to train and equip the newly mobilized?
Operation Cannon Food
Time to take back the area then!✊👍
UA has a window, now maybe the mud won’t stop drones and shooting but I placed it mid/end of October.
RU will have personnel out in November/December.
BUT they have to reach CRITICAL locations which they cannot do because of the drones.
They can open a completely new front from Belarus but it will be a bloodbath.
Ballistic missiles were probably the ace that is now disappearing.
Then Gripen is coming soon 🤩🤩
The danger probably lies with Trump/Europe as usual.
Burnham has managed to mess things up, Spain is on the decline, we possibly have a tricky government formation, France with Le Pen.
Because UA needs all our support continued as well.
Yes, that’s right Lasse W, but Europe is now sending from its emergency stocks to bridge until own production is up and running.
Don’t know how much, but the UK and the Germans are sending Patriot and France Aster.
From the emergency stocks.
Then UA will probably get going, but now in the winter they are probably needed.
Yes, that’s how it was, a number of Patriot and Aster. Expensive stuff. But there is money. That’s not what’s missing.
I can understand if politicians for several reasons refrain from involving us directly in the war.
But it is simply inexcusable to be stingy when it comes to support for Ukraine. Sure, expropriate the Russian money, but if that is not possible, then the money must be taken from somewhere else.
Give defense employees who want to join the war as volunteers very generous conditions, for example, maintaining their salary. First and foremost because it is right and proper. If that reason is not enough, these volunteers would constitute an extremely valuable knowledge resource when they return. (If they return.)

The day before yesterday, on the way to King Harald’s funeral, Zelensky’s plane was nearly hit by a drone as they flew from Moldova according to Stoltenberg.
That man lives dangerously no matter what he does, yet he joined the funeral procession along with a bunch of royals and presidents, for just under an hour.
And the USA didn’t even send a minister but some random official to the funeral…
Also interesting is how Trump plans to finance his latest promise that all adult Americans will receive $5,000 each if the Republicans win both chambers in the midterm elections. That is estimated to be about 1.2 trillion dollars in total, and where that money will come from is highly unclear……
A conman gonna con…
He is the third generation in a line of swindlers, brothel owners, and criminals…..
How the hell could Reagan’s and Eisenhower’s party allow itself to be represented by this scum.
Why do you think he has worked so hard to sell both trumpcoins and victory perfume?

Listened to the science radio on SR. The parties were asked a question about which areas they wanted to prioritize in research. On the red-green side, they obviously thought the climate was the most important. Surprise! Only one party raised research on national security, both concerning supply and technology development/weapons development. Guess which party. SD!
This noted considering that SD is described in some places as a threat to Swedish security.
