  🔥 Five of Russia's Five Largest Oil Refineries Hit by Defense Forces As of October 30, Ukrainian "long-range sanctions" have been imposed on the Omsk, Kirish, Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod, and Yaroslavl refineries, which are among the five most powerful in the country. The smaller, but no less important for the enemy, Novokuybyshev and Saratov refineries have also been hit. Almost 2,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. That's how far Omsk is from the front line.

  🤔🇺🇦 NYT: Lima’s biggest achievement came on May 24, when two Oreshnik supersonic missiles were fired toward the Kyiv region. A Night Guard member used the Lima Quant system to counter the missiles, after warnings from U.S. intelligence about an impending launch, Alchemist said. The first Oreshnik hit garages in the Kyiv region miles from any military target. The second split apart and landed in Russian-occupied territory. Russia now appears to have mothballed both Oreshnik and Kinzhal.

  🇺🇦❗️Zelensky: There were reports from Khmara and Drapaty. Unfortunately, our units have been recording significant failures in the operation of Starshield over the territory of Ukraine for several days: along the entire front line and in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. Starshield system speed limits are in effect at 161 kilometers per hour. These are not random errors, but a system speed limit. We are trying to clarify all the circumstances with the American side.

  🇺🇸 Jared Kushner on Zelensky-Putin meeting: When we did the Abraham Accords, it took three and a half years. We did the USMCA, that took two and a half years. The Gaza deal took a year. It's really only the leaders that can make those final decisions. We are pushing a boulder uphill. This is a very, very hard conflict.

  🛳️ Not a single tanker carrying Russian diesel has reached the US, - WSJ. Russia sent several tankers, but they changed course en route. One of them was carrying about 300,000 barrels of diesel, but instead of the US, it headed for South America. This is because American companies are concerned about legal, sanctions, and reputational risks, despite the exemption of Russian diesel from US sanctions.

  🇩🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺 FT: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has threatened to block the EU’s 2028–2034 budget unless all member states agree to help finance Ukraine in 2027 and beyond. Kyiv faces a €70bn funding gap next year, with the EU pledging to cover about €45bn. Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic have signalled opposition to further contributions. Berlin also wants future Ukraine funding decisions to require a qualified majority rather than unanimity, reducing the risk of vetoes.

  🇺🇦🇮🇹 FM Sybiha: Full solidarity with my Italian colleague Antonio Tajani in the face of malicious acts of cybercrime and intimidation targeting him and his family. Cyber threats and malicious attacks know no borders and demand a strong, coordinated response. Ukraine has extensive firsthand experience in countering such threats and stands ready to share its expertise with our partners.

  ❗️ According to the FT, sources have relayed Putin’s position as follows: Russia will destroy Ukraine’s infrastructure until Kyiv agrees to terms, and by next year there will be “no bridges, no ports, no railways, no power plants.” This appears to be a response to the summer Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries, and a truce at talks in Abu Dhabi next week is unlikely.

  🇺🇸👀 Rutte on the U.S. midterms: I sent Trump a short message the next day. In short: "Keep your chin up, and we carry on." America alone is bigger than all the other 31 allies combined.

  🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky on Elon Musk: We don't like his attitude toward this war when he thinks about how Russia is losing soldiers. The aggressor — God bless that they lose soldiers who are on another territory, not on their own land. I don't know whether he is serious or not serious when he is joking. These are not jokes that I can understand, but I understand jokes very well.

And now all they are thinking about is how to prevent another outbreak of full-scale war.
