According to The Guardian, citing sources, foreign troops deployed to Ukraine would be granted the right to fire on Russian forces in self-defense, a Western official said. Planned peacekeeping units would include only British and European personnel and would not use US technology such as Starlink. The reports came as the UK and France announced the Koalicja exercise in Poland, involving troops from 11 countries and about 2,800 NATO personnel in total. The UK government says any deployment would only take place after fighting ends and at Ukraine's request. Meanwhile, Russian Defence Minister Andrey Belousov visited the Dnepr group command in the Kherson direction, as Ukraine said Russia was preparing an offensive on the city.

- Russia faces record attack with air defenses given just “15 minutes”: Kremlin retaliates, 9 missiles fly in unexpected directions
According to Warfiles, Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia are growing in scale, and Russian air defenses intercepted and destroyed 1,214 Ukrainian UAVs in the previous day alone. Military expert Yuri Knutov said Western satellites update images for Ukrainian UAV operators every 15 minutes, forcing Russia to quickly adjust its air defense positions. Ukraine reportedly intends to raise UAV use to 2,000 per day, supported by production and assistance from the UK, Poland and Germany. In response, around 3 a.m., 9 Russian ballistic missiles were recorded heading to locations other than those Ukraine had predicted, while the southern bridge in Kyiv had only partly reopened after damage. Air Force Major General Vladimir Popov said Ukraine would struggle to use the bridge for military cargo if it remains a target.
- VZ: Russia arrests Leningrad base commander, exposing a shocking scandal - New weapons emerge, Sumy campaign begins
According to VZ, two officers linked to the Baltic Fleet, Navy Captain Alexei Suglobov, commander of the Leningrad Naval Base, and Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Ionov, were arrested on bribery charges, with Suglobov caught receiving 1.5 million rubles. Investigators allege the pair took money from businessmen in exchange for protection and for unlawfully leasing military land to companies, and the two suspects could face up to 15 years in prison. The article also says loitering munitions hit Barvenkovo for the first time after flying more than 80 km, while the Filin cruise missile is described as reaching 800 km/h with a 1,200 km range. In Sumy, according to VZ, Russian forces advanced from Mogritsa, cut supply routes to Ukrainian units in Grunovka and Velikaya Rybitsa, and shortened the distance to the city's outskirts to 13 km. Experts cited by VZ say the encirclement of Sumy has effectively begun.
- US Expert Points to Alarming Transformation of Russia's Military
According to US military analyst Michael Kofman, after four years of war in Ukraine, the Russian military has gained substantial experience and significantly improved its capacity to attack, with the ability to strike thousands of targets on Ukrainian-controlled territory. Russia has sharply increased production of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones, especially shifting to jet-powered UAVs. Published figures show roughly 7,500-8,000 attacks per month, of which about 30% are decoy drones, 30% are propeller-driven UAVs such as Geran-2 (which Ukraine says it shoots down about 90% of the time), and 40% are jet-powered UAVs (with Ukraine reporting a 60% interception rate). Kofman also argues Russia is targeting the railway system to destroy Ukraine's internal logistics in addition to cutting it off from outside supplies, while Ukrainian analysts say air defenses struggle to cope with the growing number and variety of aerial weapons.
- US Approves Sale of 500 Patriot Missiles to Ukraine as Zelensky Prepares Talks in Turkey
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.

- Apple Says It Will Keep Paying More for Memory Chips After December. That's Good News for Micron Stock.
Micron shares fell about 6% on the same day Kioxia sank about 16% in Tokyo, after Kioxia guided for only about 1% sequential revenue growth in the December quarter. After its earnings call, Apple said it expects memory prices to keep rising beyond the December quarter, calling current pricing "unprecedented." Most of Micron's sales are DRAM, which hit a record $39.8 billion in its fiscal fourth quarter, up 343% year over year, though its price increases are slowing. The stock trades near $860, over 30% below its 52-week high of $1,255, and the author argues Apple's warning is good news for Micron, whose valuation may already assume memory profits fall sharply.
- [UPDATE] CNN projects Democrats will take the House from Republicans, President Trump denies responsibility
Democrat Chris Pappas won the New Hampshire Senate seat, defeating Republican John Sununu. AP projects Democrat Mark Warner will win re-election in Virginia over Bert Mizusawa, while Debbie Wasserman Schultz won the Florida 20th district House seat. CNN and AP project Jon Ossoff will be re-elected in Georgia over Mike Collins, but a runoff on December 1 would follow if no candidate wins a majority. Democrats also won Senate races in New Jersey, Illinois, Delaware, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Early projections are not final results, and some close races may take hours or even days to decide.
- Democrats claim control of the US Senate
According to the AP, Democrats have won control of the Senate after Josh Turek won the Iowa race, bringing their total, including independents who caucus with them, to 51 seats. The shift could change the path of the stalled CLARITY Act, reshape committee leadership and bring closer scrutiny of Trump-linked crypto businesses and regulators' decisions. The CLARITY Act failed a Senate procedural vote 49 to 50 in September, and if it is not passed by January, the next Congress starts from scratch. Jerome de Tychey, president of Ethereum France, said nothing will pass without cross-partisan support and warned that the biggest risk for US crypto is becoming a partisan issue.
- Why Shake Shack Stock Jumped 20% in October
Shake Shack shares rose 20% in October according to S&P Global Market Intelligence, amid a broader rotation into restaurant stocks as investors sold AI stocks. The gain was supported by plans to enter Brazil through a licensing partnership, several positive analyst notes, including Morgan Stanley raising its price target from $74 to $79 and UBS lifting its target from $68 to $73, and a late-month jump tied to Nelson Peltz's buyout proposal for Wendy's. Shake Shack will report third-quarter earnings on Thursday, with analysts expecting revenue to grow 16% to $426.3 million and adjusted EPS to fall from $0.36 to $0.34. Investors will watch same-store sales growth and margins, as the company has struggled to turn revenue growth into profit growth.
- Financial markets turbulent, safe-haven assets gain favor, except gold
Volatility from the AI rally has pushed investors toward US Treasuries, the dollar, the Swiss franc and the yen, but gold has not attracted inflows. Gold fell below 4,000 USD/ounce, its lowest level in a year, while central bank gold purchases rose 42% in the third quarter to 321 tonnes. Since the US and Israel first attacked Iran, gold has lost about a quarter of its value and is down 9% year to date in USD terms, the weakest of 14 major asset classes in Bank of America's ranking. Standard Chartered finds the correlation between gold and the S&P 500 has risen to 0.48 on a three-month rolling basis and 0.69 over one month. The bank's analysts say that in the short term, the need to raise cash could lead investors to sell gold rather than buy more.
- Over 2.5 million tax codes stuck: Debt write-off is not enough, a streamlined dissolution path is needed
The Ministry of Finance says that as of 23 October 2026, over 2.5 million taxpayers had ceased operating without completing procedures to close their tax codes or no longer operated at their registered address, including about 643,000 in status 03 and nearly 1.88 million in status 06. The ministry proposes waiving business licence fees and late-payment interest and reducing penalties for late tax filings, but lawyer Nguyen Van Duoc argues the bigger bottleneck is reconstructing years of accounting records, which is nearly infeasible for firms dormant for 10-20 years. He proposes allowing retroactive dissolution dates tied to when the tax authority determines a firm is no longer operating, alongside a streamlined dissolution process. As an example, a firm inactive since 2007 faced more than VND 78.2 million in charges that could fall to VND 6.9 million under the draft. VTCA proposes classifying files and handling cases based on data.
