🇺🇸 Over 100,000 Ukrainians get to keep their US protected status, DHS confirms TPS stays in place for now.
The program lets people already in the US stay and work legally if their home country is caught in war or disaster, which Ukraine still clearly is.
One less thing to worry about while everything else gets uncertain.
🇺🇸 Republicans threaten to block $350 billion in Pentagon funding unless Trump hardens his Russia policy.
The trigger: his diesel deal with Putin and the Starlink restrictions on Ukraine. Some in his own party demand sanctions back on and limits off, per The Hill.
Rep. Don Bacon's warning: no support for Trump's legislative agenda for the rest of the session without a course correction.
🇺🇦 Shooting breaks out inside a Kyiv military enlistment office. Three police officers and three soldiers wounded.
A man brought in for violating mobilization law opened fire. All six hospitalized, shooter in custody.
🇷🇺 Russia recruited nearly 46,000 foreigners from 151 countries to fight its war, Ukraine's own data shows.
Almost half of captured foreign fighters knew exactly what they were signing up for. 47% did it for Russian citizenship. Biggest growth in recruits from Indonesia, Peru, Sierra Leone, and other African, Asian, and Latin American countries.
A war Russia can't staff with its own people, outsourced to 151 countries instead.
🇷🇺 A baby in a stroller killed by a Russian drone strike on a park full of families in Kharkiv region.
Two women also died alongside the infant in Nova Vodolaha's central park, Interior Minister Ihor Vyhovskyi confirms. At least 14 more wounded, seven of them children.
A park at playtime. That was the target.
🇺🇸 Rubio says Europe's own dependence on Russian energy was part of why Putin invaded Ukraine in the first place, he counted on Europe staying passive.
His verdict: Europe needs to rip up 20 years of energy policy, build its own sources, stop relying on a single supplier, especially with several European economies already stagnating. "I hope Europe has learned this lesson."
Coming from the same administration that just handed Russia a diesel export license.
🇺🇦 28 substations and major energy facilities damaged across Ukraine, Zelensky confirms after today's regional briefing. Repair crews working on all of them now.
He also flagged a fresh Starlink/Starshield problem: equipment on multiple front sections stops functioning at speeds above 130-161 km/h, slowing logistics and limiting medium-range strike drones and Shahed interceptors.
Supposedly "restored" weeks ago. Still breaking.
🇷🇺 A woman killed in Irpin, three children among the wounded, three more people unaccounted for after Russia's massed night strike on Kyiv region.
10 wounded total, a warehouse fire now contained, firefighting still ongoing. State Emergency Service says the full picture is still being confirmed.
Irpin again. A city that already knows exactly what Russian occupation looks like.
🤡 Adam Kadyrov assembled his own "special forces" squad, built entirely from well-connected relatives.
"Team K-13," 18 armed members, over half of them Kadyrov family or children of top Chechen officials. A premier's son, a dancer-turned-bodyguard, nephews of the influential. Vyorstka found zero evidence of actual operations.
The only confirmed mission so far: a photoshoot with assault rifles.
🇺🇸 Early voting just started in the US midterms, Virginia, Idaho, Minnesota, and South Dakota first, more states rolling in over coming weeks.
All 435 House seats, 35 of 100 Senate seats, and 36 governorships on the line November 3. Republicans currently hold a thin House majority and a 53-47 Senate edge. Democrats need just 4 more House seats to flip control.
If Republicans hold both chambers, Trump's agenda, including his current Russia policy, runs unchecked. If Democrats flip even one, that changes fast.
“No one is winning this war” sounds reasonable, but it leaves out the most important fact: Russia invaded Ukraine.
Ending the killing must be the priority. But peace without credible security guarantees risks becoming nothing more than a pause before the next invasion.
The question is not just how to end this war. It is how to prevent the next one.
“No one is winning this war”: Rubio said during his visit to Uzbekistan that Donald Trump remains committed to bringing the war to an end
“People are dying every day. Things are being blown up every day. Things are being destroyed every day,” Rubio said.
According to him, Washington will continue exploring opportunities for a peace deal despite the lack of significant progress in negotiations.
Rubio also warned of the risk of the war spreading to neighboring countries due to sabotage operations or drones that stray across borders after being affected by electronic warfare systems.
He also commented on Ukraine's use of the US Starshield system. According to Rubio, Kyiv wants to expand its use to conduct strikes beyond Ukrainian territory, but he declined to discuss the details publicly.
“That's what we want everybody to be focused on. That's what we want the Russians to be focused on,” Rubio said, referring to ending the war.
🇭🇺 Hungary's PM Mihály Magyar accuses his predecessor Orbán of plotting a coup, threatens a life sentence.
The trigger: Orbán's own comment that opposition supporters should be ready for "national resistance," distributing "tools, some blunter, some sharper." Orbán had just announced his return to political combat against Magyar's government.
Threatening tools to your own opposition isn't resistance rhetoric, it's a line most democracies don't cross casually.
🇺🇦 300 Russian occupants eliminated, 416 enemy drones shot down in one day.
Full tally: 1,923 targets hit, 107 enemy crew antennas destroyed, 12 warehouses gone. October total now past 38,700, with nearly 9,550 personnel hit this month alone.
Another day, another record chipped away at Russia's replacement pipeline.
🏒 Russia stays locked out of the 2027 Ice Hockey World Championship, no change after years of asking.
Sports federations keep extending the same answer, you don't get to play nice with the world while bombing a neighbor. Russia's own state propaganda treats sports victories as political wins, so losing this one stings exactly where it's supposed to.
🇷🇺 Putin, Trump, and Xi might meet, Peskov tells WSJ, but there's nothing concrete yet, no agreed format, no agenda, just an acknowledgment it could happen.
He earlier floated the APEC summit in Shenzhen, November 18-19, as a possible venue.
Nothing locked in. Just talk about talking, again.
🇷🇺 One dead, three wounded. Kyiv hit with ballistics and drones overnight, a metro station among the damage.
Debris crashed into the ground floor of a 25-story building in Solomianskyi district. A school hit in Dniprovskyi district. Metro infrastructure damaged on the left bank, Chernihivska and Lisova stations shut down, trains rerouted between Akademmistechko and Darnytsia.
Explosions also hit Lutsk, Rivne, and Dnipro overnight. Two women wounded in Rivne region.
🇫🇷 He flew in just for the riot. Filmed himself in Paris, then told his UK followers to bring the same chaos to London.
A livestream calling for coordinated unrest across two capitals, not a local protest anymore.
🇫🇷 Masked French officers just pulled people off the streets of Paris, and some of them are naming names on camera.
Plainclothes security forces caught the moment live, detainees reportedly identifying which groups and countries gave the orders behind the unrest.
Still unconfirmed officially, but if this holds up, it changes the entire story of what just happened in France.
