NATO's Rutte, after meeting Bulgaria's PM and Romania's president on Black Sea security and the attacks on commercial shipping: the alliance will adjust its deterrence and defence posture as needed.
Footage has emerged showing the Wine Trader, a vessel reportedly hit by two drones in Romanian territorial waters. Damage is visible to the ship's upper structure. Four crew members remain aboard, and Romanian authorities say rough seas are blocking rescuers from reaching them.

🇺🇸🇪🇺🇷🇺 Von der Leyen can’t catch a break 🤣
The U.S. wants Europe to hand over part of Russia’s FROZEN ASSETS to a fund controlled by Washington.
Witkoff and Kushner floated the idea in Miami to restart Ukraine talks.
Europe rejected it, refusing to surrender control or return the money to Moscow.
Around €260B in Russian state assets remain frozen, mostly in Europe.
The interest already funds Ukraine loans. Touching the principal is another battle, and Europe isn’t handing Washington the keys.

Report: A Likud and Gadi Eisenkot unity government is what the Trump administration is reportedly pushing for in Israel, with Netanyahu remaining prime minister for up to two years before retiring from politics.
The coalition's stated goals: ending the regional wars and securing peace agreements, Saudi Arabia above all.
Eisenkot's bloc would demand Netanyahu's retirement be guaranteed, the judicial reforms reversed, and an inquiry opened into October 7.

RT @BiankaB12: Given the beyond-Balkan levels of corruption surrounding American politics (not naïve enough to believe Washington was ever clean, btw), the United States has two choices 👇
1) Elect a serious national-security-minded administration in 2028, investigate and prosecute anyone for whom the evidence supports charges of corruption, abuse of office, unlawful conflicts of interest, or national-security crimes (hey Pete and Tulsi 👋). Not political revenge, but due process with real consequences!
The point would be to re-establish a basic guardrails: some red lines still exist, and crossing them carries a real price.
2) Let it slide.
If you do that, you create precedent. You tell future billionaires like Musk, political operatives and officeholders that public power can be converted into private gain without consequence.
That becomes dangerous in a country already dealing with extreme wealth concentration, an eroding middle class and collapsing institutional trust. America’s power ultimately rests on more than aircraft carriers and its GDP - it rests on trust in its institutions, its contracts, its alliances, its currency and the idea that the system still broadly functions.
Lose that, and decline becomes structural and INEVITABLE.
Your strongest remaining asset may well be the national-security and defence establishment, because it is one of the few parts of the system still institutionally capable of thinking strategically rather than in election cycles.
If not, you’ll be just another Latin American country by mid-century 🤷♀️

RT @ZelenskyyUa: Already in Brussels with my team to attend the European Council meeting and hold talks with our partners.
Important meetings are scheduled for today with the NATO Secretary General, the President of France, and the prime ministers of Poland, Denmark, and Belgium. I will also have an audience with King Philippe of the Belgians. Tomorrow, meetings are planned with the presidents of the European Council and the European Commission, as well as the prime ministers of Hungary, Finland, and Sweden.
All of us in Europe want this war to end. And for that to happen, strong signals are needed – more real pressure on Russia and more defense support for Ukraine. It is especially important now to act together to protect lives.

RT @NSTRIKE1231: BREAKING | 🇺🇦🇷🇺‼️ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that a Ukrainian Neptune cruise missile strike destroyed four Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers and severely damaged two more at an airfield in Russia’s Voronezh Oblast.
Zelensky said the six aircraft were loaded with aerial bombs and preparing to launch further attacks against Ukraine. He emphasized that Russia had been using these bombers to terrorize Ukrainian civilians and thanked the Ukrainian Navy for the precision of the strike carried out with Ukraine’s domestically developed long-range Neptune cruise missile. The president also confirmed Ukrainian strikes on a facility in Oryol Oblast used to store and launch Russian attack drones, as well as another target in the Black Sea. He described the operations as Ukraine’s response to Russia’s continued attacks and pledged that long-range strikes would continue.
🔥 Destroying four Su-34 bombers and disabling two more represents a substantial blow to Russia’s tactical aviation, particularly because these aircraft are extensively used to launch guided aerial bombs against Ukrainian positions and cities. The simultaneous strikes against aviation, drone infrastructure and a Black Sea target demonstrate Ukraine’s ability to pressure multiple components of Russia’s military operations. As Moscow continues its war, Kyiv is increasingly using domestically developed long-range weapons to impose direct costs on the forces and infrastructure supporting Russian attacks.

RT @NSTRIKE1231: BIG | 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇷🇺‼️ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he offered Donald Trump a way to force Vladimir Putin toward peace negotiations by expanding Ukraine’s access to Starlink over Russian territory, but Washington instead restricted its use.
Zelensky explained that Ukrainian forces could destroy Russian ballistic missile launchers if Starlink coverage were extended into Russia, creating military pressure that he believes would bring Putin to the negotiating table. He said Ukraine would then have no need to continue striking Russian energy infrastructure. Instead, according to Zelensky, the Americans reduced Starlink access rather than expanding it, a decision he called a serious mistake. He also argued that Russian territorial advances now come at enormous human cost, even when measured in just a few kilometers. Addressing the U.S.-Russia diesel agreement, Zelensky warned that pressuring Ukraine to stop retaliatory strikes could establish a dangerous precedent, with future demands potentially extending to gasoline infrastructure.
🔥 Zelensky’s remarks reveal a fundamental disagreement over how to bring Russia to meaningful negotiations. His argument is that Ukraine needs greater military leverage against Moscow, not restrictions that reduce its ability to respond to Russian attacks. The concern surrounding energy agreements is equally significant: if economic arrangements with Russia lead to repeated demands for Ukrainian restraint without reciprocal Russian concessions, they risk weakening Kyiv’s negotiating position while leaving Moscow’s military campaign largely unaffected.

A second oil tanker is on fire near the eastern Strait of Hormuz, according to Iranian state-linked media. Naval patrols found the vessel burning inside a restricted zone.
Iran's Army Navy calls it a "violating" tanker, claiming it had disabled its tracking systems while crossing a restricted area of the Gulf of Oman without authorization.
Tehran again insisted that its Navy and the Revolutionary Guard hold control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Houthi media has released footage purportedly showing last night’s SAM engagement against a Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) Eurofighter Typhoon.
The video appears to show the missile detonating near the aircraft, potentially damaging it and causing what appears to be fuel leaking from the wings.

RT @NSTRIKE1231: BIG | 🇩🇪🇪🇺🇺🇸‼️ German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has firmly rejected the idea of transferring control of Russian assets frozen in the European Union to the United States, insisting that decisions over those funds belong to Europe alone.
According to the Financial Times, European diplomats said that Donald Trump’s representatives, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, proposed placing the frozen Russian assets under American control during discussions in Miami on October 8. Asked about the proposal, Merz responded: “These are assets frozen in Europe, and they must remain frozen in Europe. This is our business, and we decide.”
🔥 Merz’s response highlights a significant disagreement over who should control Russian assets immobilized under European sanctions. The funds remain an important issue in discussions about Russia’s war against Ukraine, including potential financial support for Kyiv. Transferring control to Washington would raise questions about European decision-making authority and the future use of the assets, particularly as U.S. and European approaches toward Moscow diverge.
