bbc Following initial reports, the BBC now understands Ukraine has fired UK-supplied long-range Storm Shadow missiles at targets within Russia for the first time. However, the use of Storm Shadow missiles could be "too little too late", the BBC's security correspondent Frank Gardner says. Earlier, Ukraine said Russia is staging a "psychological attack" in spreading messages of a large attack - this came after the US and other countries temporary closed their embassies over an air strike threat. Meanwhile, Biden has agreed to give Ukraine anti-personnel landmines, a defence official tells the BBC, as the US steps up aid to slow Russia’s advances.

DW Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian urged "calm" and "restraint" following a decision by the Kremlin to lower the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. "Under the current circumstances, all parties should remain calm and exercise restraint, working together through dialogue and consultation to ease tensions and reduce strategic risks," foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said when asked about the situation.

cnn The US embassy in Ukraine’s capital Kyiv said it will be closed today after it received “specific information of a potential significant air attack.” The embassy told its employees to shelter in place while advising US citizens to be prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert is announced, according to an advisory issued on its website. Air raid sirens were activated in Kyiv several times overnight and for about 2.5 hours this morning. The sound of drones and activated air defenses could be heard across the capital, including the city center, according to a CNN team in Kyiv.

Sad ce to Trump da resi sa svojim ortakom iz Kremlja. Za jedan dan. Samo da nam kaze za koliko godina ce da dodje taj dan.

Ja bih im poslao lakat Smajlagica i gazenje linije Mirotica. Moze i koraci Maledona. Od kad se Lamonika penzionisao, svi nas gledaju samo kao dzak za udaranje i pri tome treba da uvelicavamo njihovo takmicenje performansom na tribinama.

bbc Kremlin approved its updated nuclear doctrine - which says that any aggression from a non-nuclear state, if backed by a nuclear power, will be regarded as a joint attack on Russia. Under the changes, a large attack on Russia with conventional missiles, drones or aircraft could meet the criteria for a nuclear response, as could an attack on Belarus or any critical threat to Russia's sovereignty.

bbc Unconfirmed reports say North Korea may send as many as 100,000 soldiers, in addition to artillery and other weapons to its ally. Ukraine may use the ATACMS in Kursk first - in fact some reports suggest the US may have restricted their use there as a signal to North Korea to stop sending aid to Russia and to Moscow itself.

Samo neka spavaju na to uvo, pa ce i njima Trump da resi rat za jedan dan.

Mislim da je ova Bidenova odluka dobra, jer razvlaci i opterecuje ruski pvo, koji je vec opterecen i razvucen. Ovako ce avijacija Ukrajne moci da pridje blize linijama fronta. Ipak, treba biti realan, cim Trump udje u White House, prakticno i ne mora da suspenduje ovu odluku, dovoljno ce biti da 'uspori' i ukine pomoc, pa Ukrajinci svakako nece imati cime da gadjaju vojne ciljeve Rusiji.

Mislim da bi se osudi najvise obradovao Putin i da licno prizeljkuje takav scenario i odnos medju saveznicima. Ali mu to zadovoljstvo nisu priustili. Solc je 'pojeo zabu', otvorio kanal komunikacije, ali posto je ovo two way street, sad poziv treba da napravi Kremlj, ili 'dzabe smo krecili'. Trudoov stav je u redu, ipak na njegovu zemlju ne utice previse taj rat. Bitno je da je spreman da i dalje salje pomoc u Ukrajnu.

Eskalacija na eskalaciju. Severnokorejski vojnici u ratu, s druge strane dozvola da se gadja po vojnim ciljevima u Rusiji. Uostalom, Iran i Severna Koreja su odavno dozvolili da se njihovo oruzje koristi u Ukrajni, cak i po civilnim ciljevima. Evo malo izjava evropskih lidera pred g20 samit u Brazilu, cisto da se vidi koliko su odusevljeni Solcovim telefonskim pozivom: Ruski predsednik Vladimir Putin "ne želi mir" sa Ukrajinom i "nije spreman da pregovara o tome", izjavio je francuski predsednik Emanuel Makron posle velikog ruskog napada na ukrajinsku energetsku mrežu. „Verujem da je jasno da su namere predsednika Putina da intenzivira borbe. Ako želimo da znamo koje su namere Putina, ono što je upravo uradio na terenu jasno pokazuje. Kakve god da su njegove izjave, on ne želi mir i nije spreman da o tome pregovara“, rekao je Makron u Buenos Ajresu. Predsednik Francuske je dodao da se moraju sprovesti obaveze prema Ukrajini, i dozvoliti toj zemlji da vodi rat otpora i da joj se isporučuje oružje i oprema. Britanski premijer Kir Starmer izjavio je da "nema nameru da razgovara" sa predsednikom Rusije Vladimirom Putinom, dva dana posle kontroverznog telefonskog razgovora nemačkog kancelara Olafa Šolca sa Putinom. Starmer je rekao da se moraju „udvostručiti napori za jačanje podrške Ukrajini“. Ta tema će biti na dnevnom redu samita zemalja G20, na kojoj će biti brojni lideri, osim Putina. Nijedan telefonski poziv ne može da zaustavi rusku agresiju na Ukrajinu, izjavio je danas premijer Poljske Donald Tusk. „Niko neće zaustaviti Putina telefonskim pozivima“, napisao je Tusk na društvenoj mreži Iks (X). „Sinoćni (ruski) napad, jedan od najznačajnijih u ovom ratu, pokazao je da telefonska diplomatija ne može da zameni stvarnu podršku celog Zapada. Ukrajinska energetska mreža, koja je već veoma krhka, suočila se danas sa jednim od najvećih ruskih napada poslednjih meseci, u kojem je devet osoba poginulo i oko 20 povređeno“, dodao je Tusk.

Tajvanu je bolje da pogleda u Ukrajnu i vidi kako prolaze USA saveznici i zemlje koje oni brane. Hipokrizija i totalno odsustvo morala i u ponasanju Trumpove kandidatkinje za UN u pogledu Ukrajne, nemoj posle da Tajvan 'nije znao'. cnn Elise Stefanik, Trump’s pick for UN ambassador, declines to stand by previous support for Ukraine joining NATO. In 2022, Stefanik urged NATO to admit the nation, especially as Russia’s invasion escalated. At the time, she argued for extensive military aid support, highlighting the Trump administration’s previous providing of Javelin missiles. “I’ve seen how important Ukraine is for the region,” she said. “They need to be admitted into NATO and we need to do everything we can by providing them munitions and javelins, and remember, the javelins were supplied under the Trump administration.” Stefanik’s actions in the House also have shifted with public opinion. She initially championed pro-Ukraine legislation and supported numerous sanctions against Russia along with multiple rounds of military aid for Ukraine. But in April, she voted against a $60 billion Ukraine aid package, citing concerns over the spending and saying it was better to prioritize the crisis at the southern border. That stands at contrast with comments she made in April 2022, when she touted that she was among nearly 400 members of the US House of Representatives sanctioned by Russia, calling it a “badge of honor.” She described Russia’s actions as “genocide” against the Ukrainian people and labeled Russian President Vladimir Putin a “thug” and “war criminal.” Her office declined to comment further when asked if she stood by her past comments that Russia was committing genocide in Ukraine.

Ovo ce lepo da optereti i razvuce ruski pvo.

I cetvrti dan za redom berze u padu, najgori period od januara ove godine. Najvise padaju tehnoloske kompanije i sektor zdravstva kao posledica Trumpovih personalnih resenja na kljucnim pozicijama. Sto je sitna stvar u odnosu na pad poverenja u celom svetu prema USA kao pouzdanom savezniku. Tu nema preciznih merenja kao na berzi, ali da ih ima, poverenje bi bilo na verovatno istorijskom minimumu, svakako najnizem od kraja WW1.

Kakvi mediski propagandisti, sta pricas? Republikanci su mesecima blokirali pomoc Ukrajni i nedostatak te pomoci je bio kljucan u padu Avdivke, posle cega se taj deo fronta prakticno srusio i dao ogromnu stratesku i takticku prednost Kremlju. Hiljade ljudi je poginulo cekajuci tu pomoc, koju na kraju nisu ni docekali. Tako da jedini koji vriste su pro Trump propagandisti koji su se upleli u svoje kontradiktorne i cesto nesitinite izjave, usmerene iskljucivo na zaposedanje vlasti i institucija, bez obzira na zrtve.

Mislim da b92 nije kredibilan izvor ni po kom osnovu. Nije bas tesko da se potrazi ta izjava Zelenskog (ili bilo cija drugo) na drugim ozbiljnijim sajtovima. Inace je Poljska tokom ruskih napada podigla avijaciju u koordinaciji sa NATO zbog mogucih zalutalih raketa ili dronova na sopstvenoj teritoriji.

@Impetus kako bilo sta sa b92 sajta moze da bude relevantno? Lepo si slozio pricu i delove slagalice, ali kad se pozoves na b92 ili Happy, svaka prica pada u vodu.

Posle pocetnog optimizma i rasta na berzama, ova suluda Trumpova 'imenovanja' obaraju berzanske indexe. A tek je poceo.

cnn analysis “The Russians have the initiative across (the frontlines) right now, they have successfully exploited tactical gains and are reinforcing those tactical gains,” George Barros from the Institute for the Study of War told CNN. Barros, who leads the Russia and Geospatial Intelligence teams at the DC-based conflict monitoring group, said that Russia’s advantage on the battlefield makes it impossible for Ukraine to prepare for a possible counteroffensive. “The Russians are the ones taking action, and they’re forcing the Ukrainians to respond. That’s not a good thing, because you lose wars by constantly being on the defensive. … You just get boxed into a corner and you have to choose from a buffet of bad options,” Barros added. The situation is particularly dire around Kupiansk. The key northeastern city is once again at risk of falling to Russia after it was liberated by the Ukrainians in September 2022 following more than six months under Russian occupation. Kupiansk sits on the crossroads of two major supply roads and the Oskil river, which forms a major defensive feature in the area. Taking over Kupiansk would make it a lot easier for Russia to push further into the Kharkiv region. That would in turn put further pressure on Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second biggest city that has been pummeled by Russian drones and missiles on nearly daily basis. Russian state news agency Tass reported on Friday that Russian troops entered the outskirts of the city, although Ukrainian officials insisted Kupiansk remained under full control of their forces. “They were working towards trying to seize Pokrovsk this fall, but they have abandoned this operational objective, and they’ve actually started attacking in a different direction,” Barros said. “It’s not just the Russians failing. It is actually part of a very stalwart Ukrainian defense,” he added. Since seizing Avdiivka in early 2024, Russia has only managed to advance some 30 to 40 kilometers (18 to 25 miles) deeper into Ukraine’s territory. That is a very small advance given the huge costs to the Russian military. Moscow has lost about five divisions worth of mechanized equipment, amounting to many hundreds of tanks and armed personnel carriers, in the Pokrovsk region in just the past year, according to the ISW’s assessment of visual evidence from the battlefield. “To lose five divisions worth of tanks and other personnel carriers over the course of a year to only advance about 40 kilometers, you can go and compare this to all the other major mechanized offenses of the 21st century and even the great battles of the Second World War …. that’s actually a really terrible performance,” Barros said. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s strategy still appears to be slowly grinding Ukraine down by outgunning and outspending it and by wearing down its western allies. But number of analysts have said that Putin has a limited window of opportunity to achieve this goal, given the staggering losses Russia is suffering to make even the smallest advances. The strain the conflict is putting on Russia’s economy is clearly growing. Russia has massively increased its military spending over the past two years and its economy is now showing signs of overheating: inflation is running high, and companies are facing labor shortages. Trying to control the situation, the Russian Central Bank has raised interest rates to 21% in October, the highest in decades. And while Russia has many more people than Ukraine, it is suffering significant losses and recruitment of new troops is already a problem – last time the Russian military introduced a partial mobilization, hundreds of thousands of men fled the country. The recent influx of North Korean troops into Russia will help for some time, but the material losses could be harder to make up for. “Between the economy, the shortage of men in Russia and losing the pile of vehicles that the Russians require for their current style warfare, these are strategic resources that are going to impose serious problems on the Kremlin if the current tempo holds for the next year,” Barros said. “If the international Western coalition, including the United States, keeps backing the Ukrainians for the next maybe 12 to 16, 18 months, there will be opportunities to really disrupt the way that the Russians have been resourcing this war,” Barros said. “(They) can decide whether the Russians win or lose.”

Reuters Russia told Austria on Friday it will suspend gas deliveries via Ukraine on Saturday, in a development that signals a fast-approaching end of Moscow's last gas flows to Europe. Russia's oldest gas-export route to Europe, a pipeline dating back to Soviet days via Ukraine, is set to shut at the end of this year. Ukraine has said it will not extend the transit agreement with Russian state-owned Gazprom, opens new tab in order to deprive Russia of profits that Kyiv says help to finance the war against it.

bbc The Kremlin described the conversation as "a detailed and frank exchange of opinions on the situation in Ukraine”, adding "the very fact of dialogue is positive". Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the call was a “Pandora’s box” and argued it weakens Putin's isolation. Russian media is reporting that according to the Kremlin, the call was initiated by Germany. In a written statement, the chancellor’s office highlighted that Scholz also talked to Zelensky before the call to Putin. Scholz also planned to talk to Zelensky again once the call was over to give details about the conversation with the Russian president. In a statement from the Kremlin to Russian media, Putin reportedly told Scholz that Russian-German relations had suffered "an unprecedented degradation across the board as a result of the German authorities "unfriendly course”. According to the Kremlin, Putin told Scholz that any potential peace agreement must “be based on the new territorial realities” — in other words the Ukrainian territory that Russia has occupied since 2022. In an interview on German television last Sunday, Scholz said he was planning to talk to Putin to push for peace talks. He said he was not acting on his own, but rather in consultation with others. There is speculation that Scholz is planning to also talk to the Chinese president Xi Jinping, a lukewarm supporter of Russia, about the war in Ukraine at the G20 next week in Rio de Janeiro.

DW German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly spoke on the phone for around an hour on Friday, government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit said in Berlin. Scholz was said to have urged Putin to enter negotiations for a "just and lasting" peace with Ukraine. The spokesman also said Scholz had spoken with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy beforehand, and that the chancellor had reiterated Germany would support Ukraine for as long as necessary. He told Putin that the Russian leader could not assume time was on his side. The two leaders agreed to remain in contact on the issue, according to the insiders. Berlin's government was also in the process of informing NATO allies of the details.

Jos si u fazi poricanja, zao mi je, svaki njegov potez, a jos nije posteno ni uzjahao, je potvrda za bas suprotno. Po nekad je bolje ne pisati nista. Ovo je toliko grozno da covek samo moze da zanemi.
