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.
- 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.

- Investors Fined for Manipulating Kido Shares
Three investors were fined a total of 4.5 billion dong for manipulating shares of Kido (KDC) and for lending accounts used in the manipulation. Under the State Securities Commission's decision dated 28/10/2026, Thang Phú Minh, Lâm Thúy Hằng and Dương Thái Phương Thảo were each fined 1.5 billion dong for using 61 accounts to trade KDC shares repeatedly between 2/5/2024 and 6/1/2025, creating artificial supply and demand. The three are also banned for two years from trading securities and from holding positions at securities firms and fund managers in Vietnam, effective 2/11/2026. Separately, 17 individuals who lent their accounts were suspended from trading for nine months and face the same two-year bans, though no illegal gains were identified for them.
- 2 Space Stocks Down More Than 50% That Could Be the Best Buys of Q4
AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) is down roughly 69% from its May 2026 peak, while Rocket Lab (RKLB) has fallen more than 60% from its record high, as investors reassessed timelines and competition. Bank of America expects AST to begin initial intermittent cellular coverage in the U.S., Canada, Japan, the U.K. and Saudi Arabia before the end of 2026, backed by partnerships with more than 60 mobile operators serving over 3 billion subscribers. AST launched 13 satellites in August but still faces execution, competition and funding risks. Rocket Lab reported record Q2 2026 revenue of about $234 million, up 62% year over year, and a record backlog of $2.4 billion, up 137%, while it agreed to acquire Iridium Communications and delayed its Neutron rocket debut to 2027. Analysts' target prices imply potential upside of 10% to 157%, and the stock trades at about 41 times sales.
- Copilot AI Predicts Solana Could Hit $2,500 if This Landmark Event Happens
Microsoft's Copilot AI forecasts SOL could reach $1,000–$2,000 by January 1, 2027, with a stretch target toward $2,500 or more if a full crypto bull market is fueled by a major consortium adopting Solana for consumer apps and real-time payments. The article stresses this outlook is extreme and far beyond mainstream forecasts, with SOL trading near $95 as of November 1, 2026. On technicals, SOL is consolidating in the $115–$125 range, with resistance at $130–$150 and a prior all-time high near $296, and nearer supports at $110–$115 and $100–$105. The author argues that a normal bull market supports further upside, but only an extraordinary surge in real-world adoption could justify gains of several thousand percent to reach the $1,000–$2,500 targets. Five potential catalysts are cited: traditional financial restrictions, geopolitical instability, interest rate cuts, Bitcoin's next rally and institutional investment.

- Why Micron Stock Looks Cheap After a Record Year
Micron, which makes memory chips for PCs and AI servers, posted a record fiscal 2026 with revenue of $133 billion and adjusted earnings of $75.52 per share, up from $8.29 a year earlier. Yet the stock closed on Oct. 28 about 13% below its earnings-day close, trading at a forward P/E of about 5.5 versus about 19 for the S&P 500. Micron has signed 26 long-term strategic customer agreements covering over 35% of expected revenue through 2030, backed by $32 billion in customer financial commitments. Adjusted free cash flow reached $62 billion for the full year, while capital spending of about $27 billion in fiscal 2026 and about $25 billion planned for the first half of fiscal 2027 will fund new supply. The article says DRAM prices and days of inventory are the two metrics to watch: if prices keep climbing and inventory days fall as management expects, the stock could keep surging next year; if inventory keeps rising while prices stall, that signals excess supply.
