The U.S. State Department approved the sale of 500 Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missiles to Ukraine, estimated at USD 2.1 billion, with Lockheed Martin as the main contractor. Ukraine will pay with contributions from Canada, Germany and Norway through the US JUMPSTART program, plus national budget funds financed by the European Union, as Kyiv urgently needs interceptors against increasing Russian missile attacks. Delays in delivery have strained ties between Ukraine and the US, and Zelensky said Ukraine had waited nearly 1 month for approval. Zelensky said important talks would take place in Turkey and that he would meet President Tayyip Erdogan in Istanbul on 1/11.

- Russian Troops Land as Largest Operation Reaches Decisive Point: The Mystery Report to Putin on Medvezhy Ugol
Russian forces have crossed the Dnipro, landed on an island, and claimed control of the villages of Varvarovka and Nikolaevka, where Ukrainian troops still holding out would need to cover 17 km to escape encirclement. Military commentator Dmitry Degtyaryov said Ukrainian forces inside the pocket had been eliminated and called the operation Russia's most successful this year. According to Russian reports, the campaign, officially named 'Medvezhy Ugol', closed the encirclement within a month and a half, seized 28 settlements and cleared an area of 460 km². Russia also says it took Dobropolye, its third city captured this year after Belitskoye and Konstantinovka, along with Sergeyevka in the Mezhevaya direction, and its forces have moved into Belozyorskoye. During a visit to an auxiliary command post, Putin chaired a meeting on tasks for the autumn-winter period.
- Ukraine 'dissects' Russia's new weapon, Shahed jet UAVs now a 'minor issue': What worries Kyiv?
Two Ukrainian UAV experts, Serhii Beskrestnov and Serhii Sternenko, warn that Russia is shifting from jet-powered Shahed drones to cheap cruise missiles such as Filin. According to Ukraine's GUR, Filin is about 3.3 metres long, can carry a 100 kg warhead, reach nearly 800 km/h and fly up to 1,200 km, while the Geran-5 tops out at about 600 km/h. Its engine is Russian-made, but many of its electronic components are foreign-sourced. The Banderol missile, in use since spring 2025, reaches 700 km/h and costs an estimated USD 150,000 each, raising fears of a 'missile spam' campaign that strains Ukraine's air defences.
- Why Putin says Russia could cease to exist if it loses - Las Vegas Sun News
An opinion piece examines Vladimir Putin's claim that Russia could 'cease to exist' if it loses the war in Ukraine, a line traced to a 2022 remark by then-NATO Ambassador Julianne Smith about a U.S. goal of Russia's 'strategic defeat.' The author argues the claim is partly political, used to justify new sacrifices, and also reflects genuine paranoia among Russia's KGB-trained leaders. Even a Ukrainian victory that pushed Russian forces back to internationally recognized borders would not erase Russia, the author notes. The Kremlin plans a 27% increase in next year's defense budget, partly funded by cuts to education, healthcare and welfare. The piece also notes that the U.S. has moved to the sidelines, having halted aid to Ukraine last year.
- Ukraine runs out of Patriot missiles, Kyiv faces 3 pressures: Zelensky makes repeated appeals, Russia responds
A source close to CNN says Ukraine has run out of interceptors for the US-made Patriot system, so most ballistic missiles in Russia's overnight attack went unintercepted. The strike hit three power plants in Kyiv and targeted energy infrastructure in Kharkiv. President Zelensky has repeatedly warned of Patriot shortages and is seeking more, but the US production license he expected has not been granted. Tensions with Washington have escalated as the Trump administration reached a deal on Russian diesel imports and pressed Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil facilities. Zelensky said Kyiv would halt strikes on Russian energy sites only if it received more Patriots, while Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov accused him of seeking missiles to keep hitting those sites.
- Satellite Images Show Russia Built New UAV Base in Just Six Weeks
Commercial satellite images show Russia has nearly completed a jet-powered UAV launch base in the Rostov region near Ukraine in only about six weeks. The complex, covering an area of about 126 football pitches, has eight launch pads that experts say could launch more than 100 UAVs within 24 hours, adding to at least 11 fixed launch sites Russia already uses against Ukraine. RUSI's Rob Jordan said the concrete pads and two take-off runways match the design of Russia's Geran UAV launch lanes. Citing Ukrainian military data, Reuters reported that Russia's use of jet UAVs rose about sixfold over three summer months; these drones are faster and harder to intercept. The site is about 3.5 km from Millerovo air base and may lie within its air defence cover, and Russia has not commented.
- Former Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief: Russia's Offensive Capability Has Been Broken
Former Ukrainian commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, speaking to the BBC for the first time since his dismissal in the summer, said Ukraine has stabilized the front and broken Russia's offensive capacity by killing large numbers of Russian soldiers. He said Russian casualties were six times Ukraine's, or 11 times when counting only deaths, though neither side publishes official figures. He noted that Russia seized only 61 square kilometres in the first six months of 2026, and the Institute for the Study of War also reported that Russia lost more territory than it gained in September. Syrskyi said former Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov prioritised drones over essential frontline equipment such as unmanned ground vehicles, pickup trucks and motorcycles. He added that drones account for 80% of Russian losses.

- What WEC Energy Group (WEC) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call
WEC Energy Group reported third-quarter earnings of $1.18 per diluted share, up from $0.83 a year earlier, driven by warmer-than-normal weather, capital-plan execution and operating efficiency. It raised and narrowed its 2026 EPS guidance to $5.60–$5.64 from $5.51–$5.61, and unveiled a $47.5 billion capital plan for 2027–2031, $10 billion (more than 26%) higher than its prior five-year plan. Data-center demand, including Microsoft in Wisconsin and Oracle-linked developments via Vantage, drives a forecast 4.9 gigawatt increase in electricity demand through 2031. The plan adds $6.8 billion for natural-gas generation and $3 billion for battery storage, while American Transmission Company expects about $5.3 billion of investment from 2027 to 2031. WEC also reached an agreement with NextEra, subject to regulatory approval, to extend for 20 years the purchase-power agreement for about 1,000 megawatts from the Point Beach nuclear plant.
- World Gold Prices Suffer Steepest Drop in a Year
Spot gold fell 3.58% to $3,875.53 per ounce, its lowest level since October 2025, as a wave of tech-stock selling heightened concerns about returns on AI investments. Silver dropped 6.5% to $49 per ounce, breaking below $50 for the first time in 11 months, while palladium lost the $1,000 mark and platinum faced heavy selling. Commerzbank said the tech-stock slump could trigger selling of safe-haven assets such as gold, but still expects precious metals to recover. Gold has fallen about 30% from its record high of $5,595 per ounce in January, weighed down by expectations of interest rates staying high for longer and weaker gold demand in Asia. HSBC forecasts silver's 2027 average at $64 per ounce, down from its $71 forecast for this year.
- Detailed Guidance on 30% Cut in Personal and Corporate Income Tax Payable from Businesses with Revenue Up to VND 10 Billion
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang signed Decree No. 398/2026/NĐ-CP detailing Resolution No. 43/2026/QH16 on cutting personal income tax (PIT) and corporate income tax (CIT). Resident individuals running businesses, including household businesses, with annual revenue of up to VND 10 billion in 2026 and 2027 will get a 30% reduction in PIT payable on business income. Individuals expecting revenue within this threshold declare the cut with their periodic tax filings, while entities that withhold or pay tax on behalf of individuals apply the 30% reduction to the tax they withhold or pay. If actual annual revenue exceeds VND 10 billion, the individual loses the reduction and must pay back the amount reduced, though this supplementary tax is not subject to late-payment interest up to the filing deadline of the period in which revenue exceeded the threshold. The decree also covers a 30% cut in CIT payable for 2026 and 2027, but this part of the article is cut short.

- Elon Musk Warns Of AI Shakeout, While Zuckerberg, Pichai, Nadella, Jassy Discuss The Costs: MAG 7 Voices This Week
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk predicted a shakeout among AI infrastructure firms, saying debt markets have “almost entirely shut off access to money” for companies without substantial revenue independent of AI data centers. Meta launched about $35 billion of stock offerings as part of a plan to raise nearly $100 billion, with Nvidia agreeing to invest $3 billion. Alphabet reported negative free cash flow of $9.07 billion for a second straight quarter as capital spending reached $51.4 billion, while Amazon's trailing free cash flow was negative $42.4 billion. Alphabet's Q3 revenue rose 25% to $127.6 billion and Google Cloud revenue jumped 103% to $30.7 billion, yet the stock suffered its worst day ever, wiping out over $500 billion of market value.
- Why Intel Stock Crashed on Friday
Intel shares fell more than 28% on Friday after its fourth-quarter guidance came in well below Wall Street estimates. Third-quarter revenue rose 21% to $16.5 billion, with data center and AI sales up 78% to $7.3 billion, while client computing revenue fell 5% to $8.1 billion. Adjusted net income rose 169% to $2.8 billion and adjusted EPS climbed 126% to $0.52. For the fourth quarter, Intel forecast revenue of $15–16 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.25, versus estimates of $17.1 billion and $0.43, as CEO Lip-Bu Tan cited soaring memory chip prices straining IT budgets and an extended shutdown after a factory accident in Israel. CFO David Zinsner said the PC slowdown could continue at least through the first half of next year, while analysts worry memory chip shortages could persist for years.
