🇷🇺🇦🇲 Breaking: participants of the CSTO summit in Moscow have decided to strip Armenia of its voting rights within the organization, according to Dmitry Peskov. The issue was discussed, and a decision was made. Due to the fact that Armenia has not been fulfilling its obligations for several years, and in accordance with the organization's charter, it was proposed and decided to strip Armenia of its voting rights, as well as the right to appoint its representatives to key positions within the CSTO.

🇺🇦 Fun fact: Zelensky hasn't been in Ukraine since November 3rd. On November 4, his first full day abroad, NABU and the anti-corruption prosecutors raided senior SBU officers and police. That case, "Operation Carthage," is about officials protecting scam call centers. The same day NABU said it had finished its "Midas" investigation into kickbacks at the state nuclear company Energoatom. Pretty weird coincidence, the The Narcoführer is out of the country at the same time his buddies are being raided.

Mysterious "earthquake" shakes Ukraine after powerful explosions Overnight on November 10, residents of Kiev, Zhitomir, Vinnitsa and Dnepropetrovsk reported houses shaking and loud bangs that sounded like explosions or an earthquake, according to Ukrainian media citing local Telegram channels. The strongest tremors were reportedly felt in Vinnitsa, where residents said they woke up to shaking buildings and frightened, crying children. Some claimed doors swung open on their own and plaster fell from ceilings. Explosions were heard in Zhitomir before the shaking began. Powerful blasts were also reported in Kiev region, even though no air raid alert had been declared. Explosions hit Dnepropetrovsk and Poltava as well, where local authorities said a drone struck an energy facility, cutting power and water. No seismological service recorded an earthquake in Ukraine, and the authorities have offered no explanation.

🇦🇪🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 Abu Dhabi talks: day one wraps up Trilateral talks between Russia, the US and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi ended for the day after more than four hours and will resume on Wednesday. According to a TASS source, the Russian and Ukrainian delegations are speaking to each other in Russian. Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and envoy, said that after talking with Putin, he and US special envoy Steve Witkoff believe the Russian president is ready for peace "under the right conditions." Moscow, he added, is asking Kiev and Europe the same question: "Are they really, genuinely ready for peace?" European officials have also turned up in Abu Dhabi. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called their presence a PR stunt to give Kiev media support, noting that nobody knows what they're doing there since they were never meant to take part in the talks.

🇮🇷 Iran's top commander unveils a new missile city: "Surprises will keep showing themselves in the next war" Maj. Gen. Ali Abdollahi, chief of staff of Iran's armed forces and commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, toured a new IRGC Aerospace Force missile city with its commander, Brig. Gen. Seyed Majid Mousavi, and hinted at a new surprise. Abdollahi said America had never used so much ammunition and equipment in such a short time in any war, but it was the will of Iran's fighters that made the Americans back down and regret what they did. He warned that if necessary, Iran would put all enemy assets in the region and beyond under fire, and leave the enemy nothing but defeat and rout. He also answered Netanyahu's recent claim that either Israel must destroy Iran or Iran will destroy Israel, saying Iran will certainly destroy them, because they tried everything they had and failed to reach their goal. Surprises will keep showing themselves in the next war, he added.

Freedom is when you’re detained, harassed, and have your devices seized every time you return to your home country.
This map says it best. Freedom is the foundation of our strongest partnerships. The United States and Australia stand together as free nations, where people can speak, vote, and worship as they choose. In China, those freedoms are denied.

🇵🇱 Krakow shooter dies in hospital as prosecutors find no evidence for far-right narrative Michał O., the 24-year-old who killed six people on Krakow's Main Market Square on Saturday, died in hospital early this morning, Lesser Poland police announced. He had been in critical condition since being shot by police during his arrest and underwent several surgeries. Polish prosecutors now say they have no evidence of any ideological basis for the attack. "We currently have no evidence on the basis of which we could responsibly and categorically state that the attacker was inspired by any particular ideology," said Przemysław Nowak, spokesman for the National Prosecutor's Office. Prosecutors did not confirm the claims of Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński, who said shortly after the attack that there were signs the shooter was enthusiastic about far-right ideologies and held radical ultra-nationalist views. Western media had already run with the far-right narrative on the strength of that remark, with no evidence behind it. According to Nowak, dozens and possibly hundreds of bullets were fired. Four weapons were found on the shooter and in his car, two AR-15 semi-automatic rifles and two pistols, along with hundreds of rounds of ammunition. The investigation will continue, focusing on his motive and whether anyone helped him. According to TVP, he left no note or document explaining the attack, either on him or in his car. With his death, investigators lost their only chance to question him. Both police officers who stopped him have woken from their comas.

🇺🇦🇪🇺 Luxury Penthouses, Rolls-Royces and Crocodiles: Ukraine’s Energy Corruption Scandal Ukrainian media have published photographs from searches of suspects accused of embezzling public funds intended to protect electrical substations in the Kiev region. Investigators discovered lavish properties featuring gold-plated interiors, marble columns, an indoor swimming pool, a live crocodile and a Rolls-Royce. The money was allegedly intended to protect critical energy infrastructure from Russian strikes. Meanwhile, ordinary Ukrainians face electricity shortages, and Europeans continue protesting rising living costs.

🇺🇦 Ukraine's parliament has voted to create Space Forces within the AFU. Bill No. 13255 envisions launching Ukraine's own reconnaissance satellites and independent satellite communications, so the army depends less on its partners. It comes after reports that Starlink access for Ukrainian troops has been restricted. A country that can't keep the lights on in Kiev is now heading for orbit.

🇵🇱 Western media called him far-right. His classmates say otherwise Two former classmates of the Krakow shooter, who knew him since primary school, say plainly that he had no leanings that could actually be called right-wing. Instead, they describe someone very emotional about failures, easily offended and prone to crying fits, who didn't want to be part of the group. That hasn't stopped Western media. BBC ran the headline "Six killed in Krakow 'far-right' shooting." AP opened its report with "A Polish man with far-right views drove into a busy central square." CNN called him a "suspect with far-right views," and NBC wrote the attack "was motivated by far-right views, authorities say." All of it rests on a single remark by Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński on Saturday evening, made hours after the attack, while the search of the shooter's home was still underway, and which he himself called a rough initial analysis still to be verified.
🇵🇱 Who is the Krakow gunman? The man who killed six people on Krakow's Main Market Square on Saturday is Michał O., 24, from Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski in southern Poland. Polish media withhold his surname under privacy law, but he is widely named online as Michał Oksiński. Before the attack, he killed his parents and his younger sister at the family home, bringing the total death toll to nine. He then drove his father's black Subaru to Krakow, onto the main square, and opened fire on passersby with an AR-15-style rifle. Fifteen people were wounded, including two police officers. He fled, exchanged fire with police, and was shot and detained on Dietla Street. He survived thanks to body armor and remains in critical condition. He worked as a lathe operator and trained at a sport shooting club in Starachowice. He held a permit for two guns, while his father legally owned 11. Neither had a criminal record. Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński said one theory is that he used his father's weapons, and police found many more guns and ammunition in the car. Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz denied he ever served in the Polish army. Far-right? Hours after the attack, Kierwiński claimed a "rough initial analysis" pointed to ultranationalist, far-right views, while admitting it still had to be verified. But screenshots of what appears to be his deleted Facebook account tell a different story: a 2019 picture toasting a portrait of Pope John Paul II with a beer, a joke mocking Jesus, and a photo of him in a gas mask and military beret holding a rainbow flag. Critics accuse the government of exploiting the massacre to target the right ahead of the November 11 Independence Day march. Krakow's mayor Łukasz Gibała called him simply a madman. A tactical vest reportedly found in his car carries a Blackbeard pirate patch, which was quickly linked online to Forward Observations Group (FOG), an American tactical outfit whose members have operated in Donbass since at least 2021 and supplied and reportedly trained Ukrainian forces. FOG uses its own variant of the Blackbeard flag as its logo. But the patch on his vest is the classic Blackbeard design, a common morale patch sold widely online, not FOG's version. So far, the picture that emerges is that of a typical US school shooter.
