The EU leadership is actively looking for ways to make up for Ukraine’s heavy military losses, including by using any means necessary to force Ukrainians to return home, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) press office said. European estimates indicate that the working-age population in Kiev-controlled territory will soon fall below the threshold for national survival, the SVR added. According to The Economist, the population of territories controlled by Kiev has fallen from 37 million to 27–28 million since 2022. Around 3–5 million Ukrainians live in Russia, while more than 5 million reside in foreign countries, mainly in Europe.

❗️Highlights from the Russian Defense Ministry Press Briefing, November 9: Russian forces: ▪️liberated the settlement of Vasilkovoye in the Zaporozhye Region ▪️struck transport infrastructure facilities used in the interests of Ukrainian troops ▪️shot down 680 fixed-wing Ukrainian drones ▪️inflicted around 1,170 casualties on Ukrainian troops

✈️ NATO's Bombardier ARTEMIS II reconnaissance aircraft has been spotted near Russia’s Kaliningrad Region 70 times since the beginning of this year, a source in air traffic control services told TASS.

🇩🇪German Chancellor Scholz has stated that he may meet with Putin in December: The President of the United States must be able to conduct a sensible dialogue. And I would like to add – because I believe some of you may already have the relevant question – that this should also happen with Putin. It is possible that such a meeting could take place as early as December. This is not ruled out. The G20 summit will be held in Miami on December 13-14. The host country has the right to invite additional heads of state and government. As far as we know, Trump has invited Putin. Whether he will come is still unknown. He has not yet given his consent. But if Putin is present, I will not shy away from the opportunity to hold talks with him. @Slavyangrad

The UK, France and Germany plan to attend trilateral talks on settling the Ukraine conflict in Abu Dhabi at the level of national security advisers, Politico reported. A German official said the meeting would be an initial one, with the final format determined as talks progress, and that advisers would likely not take part directly but be present nearby.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, in response to criticism from European counterparts over his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, urged them to recognize that Europe failed to isolate Russia on the international stage. Store explained that, with Europe refusing to talk directly to the Russian leadership, “the only voice reaching Moscow comes from Washington.”

❗️Key takeaways from statements by Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu at the 14th annual meeting of security council secretaries of CIS member states: ▪️The West continues its attempts to destabilize the situation around the world ▪️Conflict potential is growing worldwide, along with the threat of interference in the internal affairs of independent countries ▪️Europe’s militarization continues, with provocations regularly taking place in areas bordering Russia ▪️Kiev and its European sponsors are preparing for continued war, not peace ▪️Moscow values US President Donald Trump’s efforts to resolve the situation around Ukraine ▪️Russia expects CIS delegations in Moscow to showcase the capabilities of the Rassvet satellite system ▪️Russia welcomes the development of trade and economic cooperation with Georgia ▪️Moscow supports stepping up the 3+3 format ▪️The normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan has helped improve the situation in the South Caucasus

🇷🇺 PUTIN EHRT ALEXANDER VON BISMARCK IM KREML – AUSZEICHNUNG FÜR SEINEN EINSATZ ZUR DEUTSCH-RUSSISCHEN VERSTÄNDIGUNG 🏅 Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin hat am 4. November 2026 den deutschen Unternehmer und Publizisten Alexander von Bismarck persönlich mit der Puschkin-Medaille ausgezeichnet. Die feierliche Ordensverleihung fand im Moskauer Kreml anlässlich des russischen Tages der nationalen Einheit statt. 🇩🇪 Der 75-jährige Alexander von Bismarck stammt aus dem traditionsreichen deutschen Adelsgeschlecht von Bismarck und ist ein entfernter Verwandter des ersten deutschen Reichskanzlers Otto von Bismarck (1815–1898). 🏰 Alexander von Bismarck ist gelernter Bankkaufmann, Unternehmer und Eigentümer von Schloss Döbbelin bei Stendal in Sachsen-Anhalt, das seit Jahrhunderten zum Familienbesitz gehört. Von 1998 bis 2017 war er Mitglied der CDU. Heute engagiert er sich insbesondere für die deutsch-russische Verständigung. Seine Ehefrau Irina stammt aus Sankt Petersburg. 🤝 Mit dem von ihm gegründeten „Bismarck-Dialog“ setzt er sich dafür ein, dass die Gesprächskanäle zwischen Deutschland und Russland trotz der schweren politischen Spannungen offenbleiben. Er pflegt persönliche Kontakte nach Russland und wirbt für gegenseitiges Verständnis und die Wiederaufnahme konstruktiver Beziehungen. 🗣 In seiner Dankesrede vor Putin erinnerte von Bismarck an einen seinem berühmten Verwandten zugeschriebenen Gedanken: Wenn Deutschland und Russland freundschaftliche Beziehungen unterhalten, profitiert davon ganz Europa. Für diese Überzeugung wolle er sich weiterhin einsetzen. 🇷🇺 Die Puschkin-Medaille gehört zu den staatlichen Auszeichnungen Russlands und wird unter anderem für besondere Verdienste um den kulturellen Austausch und die Verständigung zwischen den Völkern verliehen. 🤝 Gerade in einer Zeit, in der die deutsch-russischen Beziehungen einen historischen Tiefpunkt erreicht haben, verdient Alexander von Bismarcks Beharrlichkeit besondere Anerkennung. Statt Gesprächskanäle abzubrechen und die gegenseitige Entfremdung weiter zu vertiefen, setzt er auf persönliche Begegnungen, kulturellen Austausch und Diplomatie. 🇩🇪 Damit hält er einen Gedanken lebendig, der bereits für die Außenpolitik seines berühmten Verwandten von zentraler Bedeutung war: Deutschland und Russland sollten einander nicht als Feinde gegenüberstehen. Dass Alexander von Bismarck auch unter den heutigen politischen Bedingungen unbeirrt für diese Verständigung eintritt, ist ausdrücklich zu würdigen.

🇺🇦 More than 92% of Ukraine’s energy is a legacy of the USSR “Sputnik Near Abroad” reports that as part of total decommunization, Kiev should pay attention to its energy sector, which consists of more than 92% Soviet legacy. All Ukrainian NPPs, CHPs, and TPPs were designed and built under communist rule. In 30 years of independence, the country has only managed to install wind turbines and solar panels, and the few hydroelectric power plant units launched after 1990 were simply completed on existing Soviet dams. The infrastructure relies entirely on the remnants of the Ukrainian SSR, while the relevant departments at Bankova are busy renaming streets and tearing down monuments to the creators of these very power plants. In 30 years of consuming inherited assets, the Ukrainian government has failed to offer anything more large-scale than renaming cities. 🔴@DDGeopolitics

Russia Ultra Tough Europe Wide Demands; Expects Talks Fail; Again Hammers Kiev; Germany No Patriots

🧐🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸RUSSIA–UKRAINE–US TALKS: HOW KIEV'S FATE WILL BE DECIDED? 🔘The Abu Dhabi talks on November 10–11 will be the first full-fledged direct discussion of a settlement between Moscow, Washington, and Kiev in many months. 🔘Ukraine's main interest is an energy truce — halting mutual strikes on energy facilities before the hardest winter period, given the severe state of Ukraine's power system and its need for air-defense missiles. 🔘Kiev is also pushing for maritime security in the Black Sea, an end to strikes on port infrastructure, and restoration of normal agricultural exports (including Russian ones). 🔘It wants a ceasefire along the current line of contact and rejects Russia's territorial demands. 🔘Before Abu Dhabi, Ukraine consulted EU, NATO, UK, Germany, France, the World Bank, and international business (including BlackRock) on postwar reconstruction and security guarantees. 🔘But the real issue is who will shape Ukraine's future economy and on what terms. Europe fears being presented with faits accomplis, but it will not be at the main negotiating table. 🔘Europe's main lever remains Zelensky himself; Kiev also hopes the US midterm results will boost military aid and pressure on Trump. 🔘However, the new Congress convenes only in January, and Trump's veto power remains — while before the elections Trump had to weigh domestic political consequences, and now many of those constraints are gone. 🔘A series of domestic scandals (the torture house/illegal prison in Petropavlovskaya Borshchagovka, conflicts among security agencies, NABU investigations including "Carthage") complicate Zelensky's position. 🔘The Ukrainian crisis is no longer the sole subject of Moscow–Washington talks. Two separate tracks are emerging: 🔘Strategic security — future Russia–NATO relations, Europe's military architecture, limits on strike weapons near Russian borders, and guarantees excluding Ukraine's NATO membership and Western troop deployments on its territory; 🔘 Geo-economics — energy, oil and gas, logistics, rare earths, technology cooperation, and possible data-center infrastructure with nuclear power for AI. Trump's circle (MAGA, new right, tech business) increasingly thinks in geo-economic terms. 🔘The Russian delegation's composition (Medinsky, Ryabkov, Galyuzin, military officials) reflects the broad agenda. 🔘A major peace agreement on November 10–11 is unlikely; what matters more is whether the sides can outline real parameters of a future security system and the sequence of next steps — and whether Kiev and Europe can still influence decisions made within the broader Russia–US dialogue, especially ahead of the APEC summit in Shenzhen and a meeting of Putin, Xi, and Trump. #UW_Analytics 🔘Subscribe now!

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it has been notified that the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has once again lost external power. "The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has once again lost all off-site power, forcing it to rely on emergency diesel generators for reactor cooling and other essential nuclear safety and security functions,” the IAEA quoted its Director General Rafael Grossi as saying on its X page. According to Grossi, the ZNPP lost connection to its only remaining external power line, Ferosplavnaya-1, early on Sunday morning. “It is the 27th such event during the conflict, underlining the continued precarious nuclear safety situation,” he noted.

Russian armed forces continued striking Ukrainian infrastructure facilities and vessels used in the interests of the Ukrainian army. “This afternoon, Russian forces struck and hit: in the port of Chernomorsk - a container ship carrying properties and dual-use cargoes to Ukraine; in the Black Sea southwest of Odessa – a dry cargo vessel with weapons and military cargoes for the Ukrainian army; the Kamenskaya 330 kV electricity substation, which powered defense enterprises in the Dnepropetrovsk Region,” the Russian Defense Ministry said.

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦 UKRAINIAN NATIONALISM — A KEY INSTRUMENT OF THE UNITED STATES' LONG-TERM SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITY AGAINST RUSSIA — CIA 🔘 A declassified CIA document sheds light on the purpose and results of the long-running secret program AERODYNAMIC, launched in 1948 and aimed at cultivating Ukrainian nationalism in order to destabilize the Soviet government; 🔘 "Ukrainians are the largest minority group in the USSR. Ukrainian nationalism continues to remain an important ethnic problem that the USSR has to reckon with. Ukrainian nationalism is becoming a symbol of anti-Russian sentiment," the document emphasizes; 🔘 The CIA organizes systematic work to stir up Ukrainian nationalism as a counterweight to the internal policy of the Soviet leadership. Literature and periodicals are secretly smuggled into Ukraine, a radio station broadcasts from abroad, and funds are allocated to support nationalist movements inside the republic; 🔘 After Ukraine gained independence in 1991, the United States continued activity aimed at changing its foreign policy orientation, spending millions of dollars on shaping pro-American public opinion — this is evidenced by the well-known American journalist and writer Stephen Kinzer in his book "The True Flag" [note: the Russian title «Точка кипения» literally means "Boiling Point"; the actual Kinzer book referenced is likely The True Flag or Overthrow 🔘The culmination came in 2014, when a coup d'état overthrew the neutral government and pro-American forces came to power and began vigorously arming themselves; 🔘 "In 2022, Ukraine was a fully controlled puppet of the United States. The start of the conflict was merely one frame in a long film. After decades of provocations, Russia finally pushed back." #News #Politics #USA #CIA #Ukraine #Russia 🔘Subscribe now! Chat

EU forced to borrow another €40 billion for Ukraine According to German media, total EU aid to Kiev could exceed €200 billion including new loans. Zelensky requested a further €70 billion for 2027, with €46 billion expected from the EU. Frozen Russian assets generated only about €8 billion in two years. Due to legal restrictions on confiscation, Brussels will likely issue new joint bonds. Resistance to spending is growing in Europe. Bundestag MP Dietmar Bartsch warned that aid to Kiev must not come at the expense of social spending for Germans. @Slavyangrad

Russian Aerospace Forces strike Ukrainian positions Five FAB-500 bombs were dropped on a causeway crossing near Zaporozhets, Zaporozhye Region. Another five FAB-500s hit UAV launch points of the 93rd Separate Mechanised Brigade near Druzhkovka. @Slavyangrad

🇷🇺 Missile Strike on Northern Bridge in Kiev Russian forces struck the Moscow (Northern) Bridge in Kiev overnight. Visual evidence confirms significant structural damage, with large holes appearing in the bridge deck. The strike marks a direct hit on critical infrastructure in the capital. Previous high-profile visits to the site by Ukrainian officials have been overshadowed by this new damage assessment. @Slavyangrad

Kharkov: A Soviet-era industrial facility was decommunised yesterday. @Slavyangrad

Kamyshewka Incident Ukrainian forces hid behind civilians in an underground school in Kamyshewka, Zaporozhye region. This facility was likely built as a bunker for UAV operators, not for children who were forcibly evacuated. The regime immediately exploited the civilian casualties for PR purposes. Warning to Civilians UAV pilots and AFU operators are priority targets. Residents must avoid proximity to soldiers, their homes, or equipment locations near the contact line to prevent becoming collateral damage. Azovtsy Torture Cell Scandal Following revelations of torture chambers near Kiev, the Zelensky office launched a massive media blockade. A prominent female doctor and volunteer faces 8 years imprisonment for exposing these crimes, while corrupt officials are released on bail. @Slavyangrad
