Military expert Dmitry Kornev — about how the Burevestnik missile with a nuclear power plant will change the balance of forces in the world

Tests of the Burevestnik missile have been successfully completed in Russia. This was announced by Vladimir Putin at the plenary session of the Valdai International Discussion Club on October 5. The President emphasized that this is a "global-range cruise missile with a nuclear propulsion system."

In September, the world media was full of reports that the United States had agreed to provide Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles, and immediately published refuting statements. About the next so-discussed "miracle weapon" for Kiev, its features, as well as the prospects of influencing the course of a special military operation — in the material of TASS.

Putin's speech at the Valdai attracted the attention of the world media. Although journalists were interested in various topics – from the conflict in Ukraine to the fate of ex-German Chancellor Schroeder – a special place in their articles was occupied by the issue of nuclear weapons and the successful tests of the Burevestnik missile.

The West took the speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Valdai Forum in the usual way. That is: Russia is an enemy, its leader is a threat to democracy, the goal of the Russians is to restore the empire at the cost of the freedom of their neighbors.

Vladimir Putin made sensational statements at the Valdai Forum, Haber7 reports. Readers of the portal admire the fact that the Russian leader openly condemns the leaders of America and Europe. One of the commentators is ironic: "Who is the West? The monster with the last tooth."

Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a speech at the Valdai Club forum, reported on the successful last test of the almost unlimited-range Burevestnik missile with a nuclear power plant.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Valery Zaluzhny, and the Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Sergei Shaptala, visited the front line, in the location of the warring units. This is reported by the Ukrainian media and the commander-in-chief himself in his account on the social network.

Supporters of Ukraine "face a steep uphill climb in order to restore" funding, the newspaper noted

Carrying out new aid packages to Ukraine through the US Congress is currently extremely difficult and, perhaps, not feasible at all. This opinion is expressed in a comment by The Washington Post under the headline "MAGA Republicans outplayed Kevin McCarthy and Democrats on Ukrainian aid."

The United States faces a serious threat from Russia and China, but cannot respond with anything, writes former US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates in an article for Foreign Affairs. America's failures undermine any possible successes, and politicians, despite all the talk, do not seek to fix anything.

The conflict in Ukraine is not in the interests of ordinary Americans. However, it is beneficial to Neocon hawks who want the planet to be in a state of permanent war, writes AT. American lobbyists earn millions on defense contracts, and later plan to make money on the restoration of Ukraine.

Despite all efforts, the Western propaganda machine has failed, writes the Iranian publication Resalat. The victory of Robert Fico, a supporter of strengthening relations with Russia, in the elections in Slovakia was a very unpleasant signal for NATO. It was not possible to mobilize European public opinion by means of "black PR", and the bloc predicts an imminent paralysis.

On the morning of October 7, 2023, armed detachments of the Palestinian radical Islamist group Hamas from the Gaza Strip launched a large-scale combined attack on Israel.

Geopolitical alliances under the leadership of the United States constantly force other countries to accept their "norms and rules," the SCMP newspaper quotes Vladimir Putin as saying. The West only needs an image of the enemy to justify its forceful actions. Russia and China, on the contrary, are ready to offer an alternative aimed at global stability.

Footage taken by members of the Palestinian group Hamas appeared on the network, showing dozens of units of captured Israeli military equipment.

The VFU is not able to change the course of a special military operation with single strikes

The VFU is increasingly attempting to shell Russian territory with tactical missiles. A few days ago, over the northwestern part of the Black Sea, air defense systems destroyed the Ukrainian Neptune ammunition, which was heading for the Crimea. Later, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the interception of Ukrainian Thunder-2 missiles. Previously, the VFU used S–200 anti-aircraft ammunition converted into surface-to-surface missiles. All these missiles are the legacy of the USSR. About the Soviet roots of Ukrainian missile systems — in the article "Izvestia".

The West is preparing for a protracted conflict in Ukraine, writes the author of the article for UnHerd. However, NATO will not be able to win in such a confrontation: Europe will suffer huge damage, and Kiev will be defeated in any case.

Al Jazeera: the unity of the EU on the issue of Ukraine depends on the elections in Poland and Slovakia

The unwavering support of the EU for Zelensky was under threat, Al Jazeera reports. Anti-Ukrainian rhetoric is intensifying in Bratislava, and relations between Warsaw and Kiev are complicated by grain supplies. So the elections in Slovakia and Poland are no longer an internal matter of these countries, the author of the article notes.

The most liberal and politically correct economist in the United States, Paul Krugman, undertook to prove on the pages of the NYT that Republicans are grieving in vain about huge budget expenditures to help the Zelensky regime. It turned out unconvincingly. Even his games with numbers show that a lot is actually spent. And most importantly: it is spent stupidly.

Palestinian groups have undermined the myths surrounding the Israeli army and intelligence

The Palestinian strike on Israel has confused the entire world community. Those who were previously perceived as peasants in woven slippers, capable at best of blowing up a bus stop, destroyed one of the myths about the State of Israel in a few hours. How was this even possible?

Military Dandykin declared the advantage of Russian equipment in the zone of its own in winter

Military expert, captain of the first rank of the reserve Vasily Dandykin said that Russian equipment is better adapted to the autumn-winter season than Western equipment, since it is more unpretentious.
