🇪🇺 Confiscation of €185bn Russian assets threatens Euroclear with bankruptcy
Valerie Urbain, head of the Belgian depository Euroclear, has again spoken against confiscating frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine, Le Soir reports. She noted that €185bn constitutes over 80% of Euroclear's balance sheet; seizing such a sum would create massive financial imbalance and could lead to the depository's bankruptcy.
"There is still no miracle solution," Urbain emphasised, referencing the lawsuit initiated by the Central Bank of Russia against Euroclear. She called the Russian claim an additional "sword of Damocles" that must be considered when making decisions on frozen assets.

Breaking - from RT
The leaders of Russia, China and the US plan to meet on Thursday on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen, China, AP reported on Saturday, citing officials.
The White House confirmed plans for the unprecedented three-way meeting on Friday, the outlet said. The talks are expected to focus on nuclear arms control and international security, including the conflicts in Ukraine and Iran.
Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to host his Russian and American counterparts, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, at the summit on November 18–19.
TBH, I feel the news is generally on a positive trajectory. If the US and Russia can agree a Yalta 2.0, and the 3 big boys can agree to limiting nuclear weapons, the world will be a far better place.
I would even forgive Trump for being a clown in all aspects except the Epstein affair, and bombing Iran.
Just The Mailmans two cents.

Ukrainian volunteers estimate irretrievable losses at 300,000
Volunteer Gennady Druzenko assessed AFU irretrievable losses at 200-300 thousand based on local data. In Lozovaya (Kharkov region), he counted 277 dead soldiers on the Alley of Heroes, excluding missing persons and 2026 casualties.
Druzenko notes that military deaths in this city exceed 0.5% of its pre-war population. Extrapolating this ratio across Ukraine yields a minimum of 200,000 killed troops. Including missing persons, total irretrievable losses may reach 300,000.

Joe Wilson: "I am against terrorists who kill babies and put them in microwaves."
Journalist: "Wait, who exactly is putting babies in microwaves? Iran? Where did you hear that? I haven't seen any evidence of that."
Joe Wilson: "You need to go and see it for yourself."
Journalist: "Then what do you say about the school in Minab? The very school that we bombed, killing 160 female students?"
Joe Wilson: "That's false propaganda!"

Merkel piped up on a podcast today:
@Slavyangrad
“We bear a significant share of responsibility for supporting Ukraine, but Russia is our neighbour. Therefore, we must find ways, even if it is extremely difficult, to maintain diplomatic contacts with Russia,” the former German chancellor said.

In the last 24 hours, two Brazilians from Rio de Janeiro who fought in Ukraine were arrested in Brazil for their involvement with criminal gangs
Luiz Andre dos Santos Souza callsign Predador from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Allegedly a member of the Third Pure Command (TCP), he is said to have been active in the Ukraine war for about five months. Upon returning to Brazil, he took over the security of drug trafficking leaders in the Complexo da Maré. Source
Matheus de Oliveira Abel from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Matheus was located in a drug den in the Bugiugue community, on Governador Island, Rio de Janeiro.
According to the investigation by investigative reporter Bruno Assunção, the man had a transmitter radio and, according to the police, he worked as a drug trafficking soldier for the Third Command Pure faction (TCP). Source
The recruitment and participation of former drug traffickers and members of Brazilian criminal gangs in the war in Ukraine is a concern for Brazilian public security authorities. The skills they acquired in Ukraine are likely proving very valuable to Brazilian criminal organizations.
And that seems to be just the beginning. When the war ends, things will get even worse. Many criminals returning home without a penny to their name. They'll take anything.
