Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow is ready for a possible conflict with Europe, although it does not want one, and that no side would win if any clash broke out. He said Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre were right to initiate a phone call with Russia, and that Moscow supports every step to fully restore relations with European countries. Putin warned that restricting communications could lead to a situation similar to the Strait of Hormuz in the Baltic Sea. A leaked US intelligence report suggested Russia could attack NATO's eastern flank within weeks, while the Telegraph reported Russia intends to use the next round of Ukraine peace talks to win NATO concessions on eastward expansion. UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting warned that Britain's rivals could be capable of attacking by 2030.

- NATO Begins Reviewing Military Plans Against Russia Without Relying on the U.S.
NATO is set to begin talks on force allocation and new weapons targets for 2029 to deter a potential Russian attack, as the Trump administration debates sharply reducing the U.S. military presence in Europe. According to Politico, these talks are the first stage of NATO's NDPP planning cycle and will set the level of ambition, meaning the troops and capabilities 32 member states are willing to contribute, including whether to keep a reserve of 18 brigades for operations outside alliance territory. Allies would need to fill the gap left by the U.S. with their own capabilities and agree on fair cost-sharing. The discussion covers five areas: ambition levels, offsetting declining U.S. contributions, differences among eastern, northern and southern flanks, balancing drones with traditional armored vehicles, and lessons from Ukraine. A senior NATO diplomat said sharing the burden and balancing ambition with political priorities will be a very big challenge.
- "Undercurrent" Strikes NATO: Turkey Blocks Allied Fleet, Exposing What Russia Gains
A Russian outlet, TST, argues that Turkey's control of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles under the 1936 Montreux Convention limits how quickly NATO can bring warships into the Black Sea. Romania is preparing 4 billion euros to upgrade NATO's largest coastal base, but the article says the alliance's Black Sea deployments depend on Ankara's decisions. The US and Eastern European allies want a larger presence, while European capitals worry about direct confrontation with Russia and Turkey does not want permanent foreign naval presence there. According to the article, this limits NATO's ability to reinforce by sea, and Russia also cannot easily send extra ships from other fleets to the Black Sea Fleet.
- For the first time in more than a decade, the Russian Navy disappears from the Mediterranean
According to an anonymous NATO official cited by Breaking Defense, no Russian Navy warships were present in the Mediterranean from early July to early September, the first time in more than a decade. Reasons cited include losing access to a key base in the region, the need to protect shadow fleet vessels elsewhere, and a shortage of tankers and support ships to sustain a large force deployed over long periods. Destroyers deployed in the English Channel rely on Amur-class repair ships, which are designed for spare parts and repairs rather than resupply, so cargo must be transferred between vessels, which a NATO official called genuinely dangerous. Professor Basil Germont of Lancaster University said Russia's limited surface fleet is increasingly being redirected to protect strategically important commercial vessels. However, he warned against concluding that Russia will give up key sea routes in the Mediterranean, calling this only a temporary withdrawal.
- Witkoff heads to Russia for Putin talks as Zelenskyy insists 'nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine'
U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff is meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy insisted that any deal on Ukraine's future must include Kyiv. Following talks in Oslo, Zelenskyy said discussions with U.S. officials were constructive and that Washington reaffirmed its security guarantees, with NATO's Article 5 and other guarantees to be shared with the Russians by Witkoff. He also referred to a reported proposal for a trilateral U.S.-China-Russia meeting to end the conflict. Meanwhile, U.S.-Ukraine ties are strained by public criticism between Trump and Zelenskyy, and Russia struck energy and civilian targets overnight, causing at least one casualty.
- Romanian F-16s Shoot Down Russian UAVs Violating Its Territory for the First Time?
Two Romanian F-16 fighters on air-defense duty shot down two unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on October 17, minutes apart, over waters within Romanian territory. Radar had detected the group about 120 km east of Zmiiniy Island, flying southwest. The Romanian Ministry of Defence did not disclose the identity or type of the drones, but the article says their trajectory, passing about 65 km from Crimea’s coast and 140 km from the Ukrainian-controlled coast, indicates they originated from Russia. Romania is proposing a joint NATO Black Sea military command to counter UAVs, with member states rotating leadership, and says it is ready to lead the command from 2028.
- NATO holds emergency meeting as ship sinks nearby - One country summons Russian ambassador, Moscow reacts immediately
Bulgaria summoned Russia's ambassador after two cargo ships were hit by drones on the night of 12–13 October near the Romanian border: the HS Dignity sank with 5 sailors rescued and 11 missing, while the Chelsea-3 was hit by three drones but all 15 crew were rescued. On 16 October, Bulgaria's defence minister asked NATO to deploy more fighter jets and counter-drone systems, and the request is awaiting a decision. Between 14 and 15 October, the chemical tankers Yara J and Wine Trader were also struck near the Sulina canal mouth, and seven sailors from Wine Trader are still being sought. Romania's president said NATO will hold an emergency meeting, and Bucharest has proposed a joint Black Sea military command that Romania would be ready to host from 2028, though this is a proposal, not a NATO decision.

- Electricity Prices Could Fall from November 1
Households and businesses may receive electricity price cuts for 5 months starting November 1. On October 27, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyễn Văn Thắng asked Tập đoàn Điện lực Việt Nam (EVN) to urgently review and cut costs, prepare a plan to lower average retail electricity prices, and review a proposal to set the special consumption tax on gasoline to 0%. According to the Statistics Office (Cục Thống kê), residential electricity accounts for about 4.8% of the CPI basket, so a price cut could help ease inflation pressure and support growth. In the first 8 months of 2026, EVN reported profit of over 12,000 billion VND and had cleared its accumulated losses under consolidated financial statements by the end of June, which provides room to cut prices. The Ministry of Industry and Trade has asked EVN to finalize the plan and will give its opinion, and if the matter exceeds its authority, it will report to the Government.

- Drilling over 7,200 meters, Petrobras finds three oil-bearing layers with reserves of up to 10 billion barrels
On October 29, Petrobras announced a third oil-bearing layer at its Morpho well in block FZA-M-59 in the Foz do Amazonas basin, the third oil find at the same well after results in August and early October, and said drilling and geological data collection are complete.

- Elon Musk’s “surprising” reaction to the biggest crypto heist in history
Binance estimates the total value of affected assets at about USD 6.3 billion, higher than the initial analyst estimates of USD 5.6–5.7 billion. Elon Musk posted “Everyday is Zeroday” on X, a reaction described as unsurprised. Binance said the initial cause may be a compromised laptop of a DevOps engineer, which allowed attackers to access an internal service container and send unauthorized withdrawals; some blockchain analysts reported the use of EIP-7702 delegation to take control of Binance’s hot wallet 14. About USD 3 billion has been frozen, up from USD 2.54 billion, mainly thanks to Tether (over 1.567 billion USDT), Circle (over 800 million USDC) and Ripple (about 200 million USD). Binance stresses that USD 6.3 billion is not the final loss and pledges to fully compensate users using the SAFU fund and company capital.
