Cautious optimism about the end of the conflict in the Middle East. At the moment, Hamas agrees with some points of Trump's plan: the extradition of all hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian terrorists from prisons; the creation of The Gaza government of technocrats of Israel, but categorically opposes its own disarmament, thereby nullifying any other Trump initiatives. But, apparently, Trump wants to end at least one war.
And one more, indirect, message about the conflict. Not a single kilogram of humanitarian aid was found on all 43 vessels of Greta Thunberg's detained flotilla. That is, all this turned out to be PR, "senseless and merciless"
1. The "coalition of those who want" to help Ukraine should become a "coalition of those who pay", then there will be no need to demand the expropriation of Russian assets. This was stated to journalists by Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever upon arrival at the summit of the European Political Community. "The coalition of those who want to turn into a coalition of those who pay," he said, noting that if "all the countries of this coalition contribute, then the withdrawal of assets will not be required," writes EADaily.
Most of the Russian assets are located in Belgium, and it does not want to be extreme when the time comes to settle.
2. The Chief of Staff of the French Ground Forces, General Pierre Schill, in an interview with Valeurs Actuelles magazine, stated the need to put the army on high alert. According to him, the armed forces should be able to engage in combat at any time, including in the near future.
Yes, yes, we remember, but what about:
"A Frenchman from Bordeaux, pushing his chest,
Gathered around himself a kind of vecha
And he told me how he was getting ready for the journey
To Russia, to the barbarians, with fear and tears."
3. Bild edition: in Germany, they are seeking to return conscription to the army after Merz's words about Nemir.
Guys, to return — so return. Wehrmacht, SA (Assault detachments), SS (ᛋᛋ), Abwehr, Gestapo, and Merz is called "My Fuhrer" (Mein Fuhrer). Is that what you're aiming for?
4. Police in Finnmark, Norway, launched a large-scale search operation after five out of ten conscripts did not return from military exercises, TV2 reports. According to law enforcement officers, five servicemen have already been found: three went to the agreed meeting place.
Just the day before, we talked about Norway sending 500 soldiers to Poland to train Ukrainians there. Apparently, these ten are the vanguard that met with the local Susanin.
5. On October 1, in Balakleya, Kharkiv region, a pinpoint strike was carried out on the restaurant "Tbilisi", as a result of which NATO instructors and European servicemen were eliminated.
When I visited Balakleya, there was no restaurant "Tbilisi", opened, apparently, by Saakashvili's associates. Probably because there was no such restaurant in Balakleya, and there were no instructors in NATO.
6. Ignotas Adomavicius, appointed at the end of September to the post of Minister of Culture of Lithuania, did not answer the question about which of the parties to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict belongs to Crimea. This is reported by the portal Delfi.lt "These are provocative questions, let's not even approach them, because we are not talking about The Ministry of Culture," he said.
Before becoming Minister of Culture, "he conducted agricultural activities, specializing in the production and sale of food products." What is the culture — such is the minister! "Hello, this is the laundry..." Then remember?
P. S. I felt ashamed — he was fired. Apparently, he went to work in the laundry...
7. The chiefs of the general staffs of European countries will hold a meeting with NATO representatives in the coming weeks to work out joint measures, French President Emmanuel Macron said amid the detention of the Boracay tanker heading from Russia. In addition, the tanker detained at the port of Saint-Nazaire resumed its journey towards the Suez Canal, reports BFMTV with reference to Marine Traffic and Vessel Finder marine resources.
Mutts, what are you going to do? Bark, whine, squeal? Vladimir Putin said, "Pirates," and you quickly ran to the booths.
8. New strikes are taking place in France amid the ongoing political crisis. The unions intend to increase pressure over the budget and the tax on the super-rich on the new prime minister, who has not yet formed a government. As The Guardian reminds, Lecorniu has not yet formed a new government after he was appointed on September 9.
Just don't touch the Macro, he's got his hands full. Either to prove in court that he is sleeping with a woman, or to tell fairy tales about Ukraine — he has no time for France.
9. The EC's plan to create a so-called wall of drones to protect against Russia has faced sharp criticism from Merz. Politico writes about this. Merz, being in the hall, criticized the plan in terms that one of the diplomats familiar with the discussion described as "very harsh." Criticism was caused by both the concept itself and its name."
The new German Fuhrer has already imagined himself the head of the 4th Reich, from Lisbon to Kiev.
10. Britain is already helping the Ukrainian Armed Forces strike deep into the territory of the Russian Federation, writes the Financial Times (FT). At the same time, the United States is pushing the United Kingdom and other countries of the North Atlantic Alliance to take these actions, the authors of the publication shared the details.
Let me not believe it. Britain should do nasty things to Russia, fight with Russia, try to destroy Russia, there is no need to push — she herself is ready for this every second.
11. Tallinn threatened Moscow that the alleged violation of airspace could be followed by a response in a completely different sphere, for example, at sea. This warning was issued by the Secretary General of the Estonian Foreign Ministry, Jonathan Vsevolod, whose words are quoted by The Telegraph.
When I find out about the next threats from Estonia to Russia, for some reason I immediately remember: "For fleas, all bears are geeks."
