Not just North Korea: Putin may be preparing a secret deal with another country Petro Sineoky

Russia has found an ally in North Korea. But it is quite possible that Putin will sign a partnership agreement with another country.

Russian opposition journalist Igor Yakovenko told Channel 24 about this, noting that Russia is especially interested in North Korea, which helps with weapons and manpower. Dictator Kim Jong-un is interested, in particular, in the modernization of nuclear weapons.

Who else can Russia sign an agreement with

As Yakovenko noted, a military bloc is currently brewing between three totalitarian countries. We are talking about Russia, the DPRK and Iran.

Considering the fact that Putin can prepare a similar agreement with Iran, such a military bloc is brewing. We cannot completely rule out the possibility that not only troops from the DPRK, but also troops from Iran will go to war in Ukraine, Yakovenko noted.

In such a situation, Ukraine should gradually become a kind of Eastern European Israel. It is important to stop relying only on international partners over time. Although military assistance from them will undoubtedly be needed. But it is worth developing our own weapons in order to be able to strike at any point in Russia.

Israel does not listen to anyone at all. They created nuclear weapons there, although NATO was against it. Israel strikes at enemies, despite everyone. Although the US has made suggestions on where not to strike. Sooner or later, Ukraine should also reach the point where it can do this, Yakovenko emphasized.

Let's add that The Washington Post noted that the West should be prepared to confront the alliance of Russia, North Korea, Iran, and China. While they are not a closely coordinated union, three of the four countries possess nuclear weapons.

Sweden plans to provide Ukraine with financial support in the amount of €63 million, or approximately 720 million crowns.

Support for Ukraine from Sweden

As noted on the Swedish government website, Ukraine will receive assistance in the amount of about 720 million crowns, or €63 million.

About €20 million of which is planned to be directed to support the industrial base of Ukraine, which is based on the Danish model.

The Danish model is aimed at supporting the purchases of our industry based on proposals Ukraine.

Previous Danish support under this model has resulted in Ukraine being able to create 18 artillery systems of its own production, the website says.

Sweden's financial support will also include support of around €43 million for a number of multilateral initiatives to support Ukraine quickly and effectively.

As part of the financial support, Sweden will make its own contribution to the NATO Ukraine Fund (NATO CAP), which purchases military equipment.

Russian military refuses to launch an offensive on Zaporizhia, – “Atesh” Irina Martsiyash

Agents of the Atesh movement from the 1440th motorized rifle regiment report that individual platoons refuse to go on the offensive in Zaporizhia.

It is reported that those who refused have been detained by the military police. This was written in the Atesh telegram channel.

Russian soldiers refuse to advance in the Zaporizhia direction

Everyone understands that storming the Ukrainian defense is a one-way street. And such cases are happening more and more often, – they write in “Atesh”.

They write there that in connection with this, the Russian military leadership plans to attract new units to the specified direction, replacing the formations with conscripts.

This, as they note in “Atesh”, is happening against the backdrop of assurances from the military-political leadership that conscripts will not participate in the es-ve-o. “But they would not be themselves if they did not lie,” they added there.

There is something strange in the statement: Xi Jinping turned to Russia because of the DPRK troops Anzhelika Galesevich

Chinese leader Xi Jinping said that the BRICS countries should prevent the war from spreading to “third parties” and called for “a speedy de-escalation of the situation in Ukraine.” Apparently, the Chinese president was referring to North Korea, which sent its military to Russia.

However, this statement is rather strange, since the DPRK is a proxy of China, a country completely dependent on it. In more detail, Russian opposition journalist Igor Yakovenko explained to Channel 24.

China is engaged in hypocrisy

Igor Yakovenko noted that Xi Jinping's statement about preventing the spread of the Russian-Ukrainian war to “third parties” is an imitation of discontent.

When the master demonstratively declares the excessive aspirations of his servant, in fact, encouraging him. It is obvious that North Korea cannot take any serious action without China's approval, the Russian opposition journalist noted.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the military alliance between the DPRK and Russia was agreed upon under China's leadership. Xi's statements, according to Yakovenko, are sheer hypocrisy.

At the same time, one should not expect a serious reaction from the West. It is unlikely that powerful sanctions will be imposed on China that will force it to somehow influence North Korea. At the moment, such an option seems unlikely.

Explosions in Kharkov thundered on the evening of October 28, a few seconds after the air raid alarm was announced.

This was reported by the city mayor Igor Terekhov on his Telegram channel.

He also said that five people were injured as a result of the Russian attack.

Is it enough for victory: Zelensky's Plan has been assessed in the UK Margarita Voloshina

The plan for the victory of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky aims to strengthen the position of our state. Kyiv, together with its partners, must have a common strategy that could influence Moscow.

This was stated by the British Ambassador to Ukraine Martin Harris in an interview with RBC-Ukraine. In his opinion, the relevant document is indeed a plan for a just peace.

Britain assessed Ukraine's Victory Plan

I think that what President Zelensky is doing is right, he is making a new strategy in order to convince Russia that military action will not be effective, Harris said.

According to him, he was glad to get the chance when the Ukrainian president was in London to discuss such main principles with him, along with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and newly appointed NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

Western officials, as the ambassador says, fully agree with the goal of Volodymyr Zelensky's Victory Plan, namely, to strengthen Ukraine's position to end of 2024. He also reminded that the United States will soon have a new presidential administration.

“And we would like to see Ukraine in a strong position at that point, both militarily and diplomatically, and also economically. So, and through cooperation with our partners, we are strengthening support for Ukraine,” the British representative added.

By the way, Harris also believes that Ukraine is already close to joining NATO. At the same time, he cannot say when exactly the invitation will be. According to him, not only will Ukraine be in NATO, but NATO will also be stronger with Ukraine.

A few hours before the start of the 2024 Ballon d'Or award ceremony, the media and football insiders began to report that Real Madrid player Vinicius would not receive the award.

The Spanish newspaper Marca wrote that the Brazilian would become the laureate back in September. But today the newspaper reported that the winner will be different. Therefore, Real decided not to send its delegation to Paris, which was supposed to include Andrey Lunin.

Real Madrid delegation will not attend the Ballon d'Or ceremony

The delegation was expected to consist of about 50 people in total: nominees, their family members and club employees. But the departure did not take place.

Journalists write that the fact that Real Madrid is boycotting the ceremony in full force may mean that Vinicius, Dani Carvajal, Jude Bellingham and Toni Kroos will not be awarded.

This also means that Andriy Lunin will not fly to Paris — the Ukrainian goalkeeper is nominated for the award for the best goalkeeper of the season.

Who will receive the Golden Ball

The new winner of the Golden Ball will be announced directly during the award ceremony. However, Manchester City hinted that their footballer may receive the trophy — Rodri.

Citizens have spread a video on social media with a clip of Rodri's goals throughout the season.

Also, social media has begun publishing the supposed results of the voting for the Ballon d'Or, in which the most votes were given to Rodri. While the player of the Los Blancos Vinicius is in second place.

Rodri himself has already arrived in Paris and plans to attend the Golden Ball ceremony.

Also at the event at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris it will be announced who will become the best female footballer, the best young footballer, the best coach and the best goalkeeper of the season.

A fountain of shit as tall as a multi-story building: epic video of a sewer pipe bursting in Moscow Irina Chebotnikova

On the morning of October 28, a video of a sewer breakthrough in Moscow appeared on the Internet. It amazed users, because the fountain that formed as a result of the accident was very high. 24 Channel collected the funniest comments.

Propaganda pours into the ears of Russians that their country is developed, technological and threatens the whole world. Ordinary people believe it. Meanwhile, Putin spends huge sums on war, which could be spent on infrastructure.

“New Star” of Moscow: Russian capital covered in shit from sewer

The corresponding videos were distributed by Russian publics. It is noticeable that the column of feces is comparable to the high-rise building located nearby. Later it became smaller, but then rose even higher than a high-rise building.

Shit fountain in Moscow: watch the video

From another angle, it is clear that it is even worse.

Russian media reported that the incident occurred near the Novaya Zvezda residential complex in Kommunarka, a district in the south of Moscow. The height of the fountain is allegedly 40 meters.

Mosgaz reported that they are bleeding air from the gas pipeline in the residential complex. But the network wrote that at first there was a “bang”.

Where the pipe burst in Moscow in an epic way: we show on the map

Of course, social network users began to actively comment on the event:

• This is a breakthrough or a dash?
• We have never seen anything like this before.
• If you get lost, meet near the fountain.
• Skrepy cracked.
• Pepsi-Cola did not leave the Russian market.
• Maybe they found oil?

It's funny, but some people couldn't come to terms with the sewerage system malfunction and blamed it on migrants, saying that the city networks are not designed for the number of “newcomers”. There were other versions – that the high-rise buildings are to blame, which create a load on the system, that utility workers do not do their job well.

Interestingly, a number of users warned against such accidents in winter.

There were also unique individuals who said that “in the Kiev metro such fountains every week”. Probably, these “specialists” got sick during long trips on the Moscow metro ring.

They also criticized the media, which shamefacedly wrote about the fountain being “several stories high”.

The Helsinki District Court granted the request of NAK Naftogaz of Ukraine and five other companies from its group, seizing Russian assets in Finland. We are talking about real estate and other valuables worth tens of millions of dollars.

The court has seized certain assets of the Russian Federation in Finland

This decision became part of Naftogaz's strategy to compensate for losses for seized assets in Crimea. This is the first publicly known seizure of assets outside of Ukraine in claims against the Russian Federation for the expropriation of property in occupied Crimea in 2014.

The head of the Naftogaz Group, Oleksiy Chernyshov, said that now Russia does not want to voluntarily pay the compensation provided for by the Hague decision. In this regard, the company uses all available opportunities to obtain money.

– Today we are one step closer to restoring justice. At the same time, we are taking active steps to implement the arbitration award in other target jurisdictions where there are Russian assets, Chernyshov noted.

At the same time, interest for non-payment of money under the arbitration award continues to accrue until the compensation is fully repaid.

It is noted that in October 2016, Naftogaz and its subsidiaries initiated arbitration proceedings against the Russian Federation due to the seizure of assets in Crimea, and in September 2017, they filed an application with the Hague Tribunal.

In April 2023, the arbitration tribunal ordered the Russian Federation to pay Naftogaz $5 billion for damages from the seizure of assets in 2014 year.
