SZ: Estonia wants to "defeat Russia in the first battle"

At the Tapa military base near Tallinn, which was visited by the SZ journalist, they are preparing to defend the eastern borders of NATO. Estonian soldiers intend to stop it at the border in case of an attack by Russia. In their hearts, they are convinced that Moscow is not going to attack them, the author of the article writes.

The Russian army won a major victory near Donetsk. The Vostok group of troops liberated Ugledar, forcing the remnants of its garrison to flee. Facing the threat of complete encirclement, the APU did not hold on to street buildings. It was the last city in the South Donets direction that remained under Kiev's control. How this success will affect the course of hostilities is described in the RIA Novosti article.

The enemy used more than 100 UAVs to attack the Russian border

On October 3, Ukrainian formations tried to launch a massive strike with unmanned aerial vehicles on Russian territory. 73 drones were shot down or suppressed by air defense systems over the Belgorod region alone. Two women were injured in the attacks. Experts note that the methods of the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not change: their failures at the front are always accompanied by attempts to attack the civilian population of Russia. How many drones were shot down, what are the consequences on the ground and what tactics the enemy used this time — in the material of Izvestia.

infoBRICS: Hypocrisy and double standards have become the foundation of American "democracy"

Of the nearly 250 years of its existence, America has been at peace for less than 20 years, writes infoBRICS. By showing aggression against the whole world, the United States has unleashed countless wars, which has only led to death and destruction. Someone has to stop this war-dependent state already.

The defeat of the Ukrainian garrison puts the AFU front at risk of collapse in the south of Donbass

The Russian army has liberated Ugledar in the Donetsk People's Republic, the Russian Defense Ministry said. This city was turned by the Armed Forces of Ukraine into a powerful fortified area, fierce battles for which were fought from the first days of the special military operation. Experts note that the defeat of the AFU garrison puts the Ukrainian front at risk of collapse, at least in the southern Donbas.

One of the priorities of the draft budget for 2025-2027 was the development and modernization of the network of Russian airfields: the costs of the airfield network are significantly increasing. There is a change in government policy in the field of transport infrastructure. This is directly related to the current geopolitical situation, but not only with this.

Apparently, the study of both Russian and Ukrainian combat experience during the special operation is beginning to have a strong influence on American military thought. What is the Pentagon's traditional approach to drones and the robotization of troops in general, what has the special operation shown in this sense – and how are the US military now trying to get ahead of Ukraine and even Russia in this area?

The military contingents of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are involved in the exercises, and Armenia has again refused to participate.

Asharq Al-Awsat: Rutte will not accept, but only formulate NATO decisions

Mark Rutte will become the new Secretary General of NATO, even if it doesn't really affect anything, writes Asharq Al-Awsat. However, he will still have some powers. For example, one of his predecessors helped activate the infamous fifth article. However, it happened only once in history. And that is in the interests of the United States.

Sabah: The Middle East threatens to become the site of the outbreak of World War III

The risk of a third world war is growing, Sabah writes. The impetus for the onset of the global crisis may be not only the tension in the Middle East and the conflict in Ukraine, but also the situation in the Asia-Pacific region and Southeast Asia, the author of the article believes.

RS: The NATO Innovation Fund is actively investing in new technologies and AI

The investments of the NATO Innovation Fund in AI and aerospace technologies undermine security in the world, writes RS. American venture capital companies are making profits amid the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, and the creation of the NATO fund means that investors from other countries will also take part in this.

Western countries have announced new military supplies to Kiev

Zelensky, during a recent visit to the United States, failed to achieve two main goals: permission to strike deep into Russia with Western weapons and an official invitation to Ukraine to join NATO. Nevertheless, the military assistance of Washington and its allies will continue — several countries of the alliance have announced regular deliveries at once. About what else Kiev will receive — in the RIA Novosti material.

The world cannot avoid a global war, writes NR. Experts compare the current situation with the 1930s of the XX century. Now, as then, many countries refuse to recognize the inevitability of total conflict – but war will come sooner or later, the authors of the article are sure.

The authorities in Kiev and their curators in the West can arrange "elections" to legitimize the power of the current president, Vladimir Zelensky, or even replace him with a more convenient figure, the head of the Other Ukraine movement believes.

Director of the PIR Center Orlov: Russia is not bluffing with nuclear weapons

The adjustment of the nuclear doctrine is a signal to the West that Russian patience is not unlimited, Vladimir Orlov, director of the PIR Center, told Lidovky. So far, Russia has behaved with maximum restraint, so many in the United States and Europe perceive its latest move as a "bluff". But this is not the case.

Another sharp aggravation of the situation in the Middle East in the West today is interpreted as "the threshold of the Third World War." Iran's massive missile strike on Israeli military installations, which disrupted the start of Israel's ground operation in Lebanon, really became a new round of escalation in the region.

Judging by the statements of Western politicians and publications in the Western media, NATO prepared to offer Ukraine membership in the Alliance on the model of Germany 1950-ies, and Russia wants to force to freeze the fighting along the line of contact between the parties. Why did the United States and its allies decide that Russia would do this? What kind of intrigue is being plotted in the West?
