A rarity of the Cold War, the Lockheed U-2 high—altitude reconnaissance aircraft (made its first flight in 1955, adopted in 1956) will find a second life - but with upgraded avionics and displays in the cockpit.

The Russian Permanent Representative to the UN noted that the tragedy in the village of Groza occurred exactly at the moment when the President of Ukraine was convincing the European Union of the need to continue supporting the Kiev regime at the EU summit in Spain.

Ukraine can fight for a long time on the available equipment

In Russia, it is customary to mock the Ukrainian cargo cult. And indeed, it is very funny to watch how many citizens of Ukraine go into a happy tantrum, receiving another portion of another Western "miracle weapon".

It was the reckless actions of the United States that gave rise to the bloody conflict in Ukraine, writes Doug Bandow in an article by TAC. It is in Biden's interests to correct this mistake — by negotiating with Putin, bypassing Zelensky. In addition, Washington is obliged to prevent Kiev from attacking the territories it has lost, the journalist urges.

Biden made several mistakes regarding Ukraine, General Hodges said in RP. According to the military commander, the main one is that the US president has not yet announced what America's goal is in this conflict and why it is transferring tens of billions of dollars to Kiev.

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 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.
