Peskov cynically answered under what conditions Putin will agree to peace with Ukraine Vladislav Kravtsov

Dmitry Peskov named the condition under which the Russian authorities will agree to peace in Ukraine. Putin's press secretary cynically stated that this will happen if Ukraine “leaves the territories that Russia has seized.”

Russian media reported this. Peskov called these conditions a “peace initiative” of the head of the Kremlin, reports 24 Kanal.

What Peskov said about the conditions for peace with Ukraine

Dmitry Peskov said that Vladimir Putin's “peace initiative” was voiced this summer. It envisages “Ukraine leaving all Russian territories,” including the Donbass regions and the so-called “Novorossiya,” where the occupiers included the temporarily occupied territories of the Zaporizhia and Kherson regions.

The Russian position is well understood. It was laid out by Putin, if you remember, this was this summer. So, it says that the Ukrainians must leave Russian territories, that is, new regions of the Russian Federation, the dictator's lackey cynically emphasized.

He emphasized that this was “a set of conditions that President Putin voiced.” And only after that, according to Peskov, can Russia begin to “talk about peace” with Ukraine.

Ukraine and Russia allegedly held talks on strikes on energy facilities

• The Financial Times wrote an article in which it reported that Ukraine and Russia, with the mediation of Qatar, were allegedly holding talks to stop mutual shelling of energy facilities. However, as journalists wrote, the implementation of this agreement could be hindered by the presence of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region.
• A source for Channel 24 in the Presidential Office noted that this material is nothing more than a Russian fabrication. The interlocutor noted that in this way the enemy is trying to discredit the Ukrainian Armed Forces operation in the Kursk region.
• Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov also responded to this material. He also called this article a fabrication and denied negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.

Explosions in Kyiv thundered at night during the attack of Russian attack drones on capital.

There is also a huge range of items: military expert assessed the US weapons stockpiles Petro Sineokiy

The media reported that the United States allegedly can no longer transfer weapons to Ukraine without risk in other areas. This is an extremely strange statement, the purpose of which is unclear.

Reserve Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, pilot-instructor, military expert Roman Svitan told Channel 24 about this, noting that the military aid to Ukraine from the United States was not so huge as to deplete their reserves.

They still have a lot of weapons

As Svitan noted, the United States has thousands of units of various equipment in warehouses that were produced in the last century. Ukraine practically does not use their main weapons – missiles and aircraft. For example, little is heard about weapons before the F-16.

The F-16 can use about 120 types of weapons. Who uses them? Or we are really raking in the weapons that were used in the last millennium in trench warfare. The only thing is that they haven’t brought us bows and arrows yet, – said Svitan.

In fact, the best option for Ukraine in the future is to try to invest as much as possible in its own military production. We also need to focus on cooperation with Europe.

I think that if the Europeans could make decisions on their own, we would have already received a sufficient number of cruise missiles. But now they are forced to look back at the White House, Svitan believes.

Recall that the Biden administration is still against allowing Ukraine to strike at Russian territory. They are afraid of escalation. And they are convinced that Ukraine does not have enough ATACMS to change the situation. And they cannot give more.

The US called on Biden to grant Poland permission to shoot down missiles over Ukraine Dmitry Usik

Bipartisan Helsinki Commission leaders ask US to allow Poland to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine. They made this request to President Joe Biden.

This was reported by The Hill.

A call to allow Poland to shoot down missiles

Republican Joe Wilson and Democrat Steve Cohen are reported to have sent a letter to Biden asking for authority to “intercept and neutralize missiles over Ukraine, particularly those threatening to approach Polish airspace.”

The request comes as Poland seeks to use its air defense shields, and possibly expand them, which would protect their skies from Russian missiles but would also help Ukraine in protection, the publication writes.

The Hill writes that closing the Ukrainian skies to Russian missiles is one of the biggest challenges of the entire full-scale war. They recalled the incident in November 2022, when two Polish farmers died as a result of a falling munition.

Poland, represented by Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, had previously proposed a scheme to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine. However, it did not receive support from then NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

The United States stated that military exercises of North Korean troops in Russia violate a number of UN Security Council norms.

State Department spokesman Matthew Miller stated this on October 29.

DPRK military exercises in Russia — US State Department Position

— We believe that Russia's training of DPRK soldiers using weapons or related materials is a direct violation of Security Council resolutions, — he pointed out.

Miller noted that in this vein, Moscow and Pyongyang are violating the UN arms embargo, as well as the import or export ban, which could help the DPRK conduct nuclear tests or launch ballistic missiles.
