A plan for a ceasefire and peace in Ukraine along the lines of the one Donald Trump has put in place for Gaza: the proposal was put forward by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to the leaders of the Coalition of the Willing at their last meeting, as reported by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with Axios. Zelensky emphasises that the situation between Ukraine and Gaza is different, but says he has given his readiness to work on such a plan, which should see the light - he explains - very soon: 'Within a week or ten days'. The Ukrainian leader also adds that he is 'sceptical' about the possibility that Vladimir Putin is ready to accept a similar peace plan.

Approximately 200 Russian military personnel have penetrated Pokrovsk

About 200 Russian military personnel have penetrated the city of Pokrovsk in Ukraine's Donetsk province, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported. After weeks of battle along the city perimeter, Ukrainian military sources note that a good number of elements of the Russian army have managed to penetrate the city of Pokrovsk. 'The enemy (the Russian army, ed.), taking advantage of interpositional spaces and small infiltration groups, has concentrated about 200 military personnel in the city,' the Ukrainian army stated.

"The situation in the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration area and along the Ocheretyne sector of the Pokrovsk axis remains complex," the Ukrainian General Staff represented.

Moscow: 'No illusions about European peace plan'

La Russia non si fa “nessuna illusione” su un piano di pace europeo per l’Ucraina, perché finora la politica dei Paesi dell’Europa occidentale è stata “totalmente irresponsabile”. Lo ha detto il vice ministro degli Esteri Mikhail Galuzin. “Non ho alcuna illusione in merito, perché finora la politica dei Paesi dell’Europa occidentale e del regime di Kiev è stato totalmente irresponsabile, aggressiva e senza futuro”, ha affermato Galuzin, citato dalla Tass. “All’inizio, contemplavano di infliggere la cosiddetta sconfitta strategica alla Russia, e ovviamente questo era un compito impossibile dall’inizio - ha proseguito il vice ministro -. Ora gli stessi politici chiedono un cessate il fuoco immediato senza alcuna precondizione. In altre parole, questi Paesi semplicemente non vogliono vedere l’ovvio: per risolvere la crisi ucraina, dobbiamo lavorare duramente per eliminare le cause alla radice”. La scorsa settimana l’agenzia Bloomberg ha scritto che le nazioni europee stavano lav

Dozens of Ukrainian drones in the skies over Moscow

Dozens of Ukrainian drones targeted the city of Moscow on the night of 26-27 October, leaving one dead and five wounded, according to the mayor of the Russian capital Sergey Sobyanin.

Sobyanin began reporting attacks on the Russian capital on the evening of 26 October and posted updates throughout the night. Russian forces reportedly shot down 34 Ukrainian drones flying towards Moscow during the attack, he explained on Telegram.

The Russian Ministry of Defence later stated that a total of 193 drones were intercepted during the night, 40 of them in the Moscow Oblast. The ministry stated that 34 of these drones were directed at the capital.

One person died and 23 others were injured in yesterday's Ukrainian attacks on the Belgorod region, said border oblast governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.

In the night Russian attacks with 100 drones

Also last night, Russian forces attacked Ukraine with 100 drones, the Ukrainian Air Force reported. The latter added that 66 of these drones were shot down or neutralised through electronic interference. According to Kiev, 26 attack drones hit targets in nine locations, without providing further details.

Moscow also claimed the conquest of three more villages in Ukraine in the last 24 hours. "Units of the Eastern troop grouping advanced into the depths of the enemy defence and liberated the settlements of Novonikolaevka and Privolnoe in the Zaporizhzhia region, as well as Egorovka in the Dnipropetrovsk region," the Russian Defence Ministry wrote on its Telegram channel.

The new Russian missile

La Russia ha fatto sapere di aver testato “con successo” il nuovo missile da crociera a propulsione nucleare in grado di confondere le difese aeree. In un test che si è tenuto martedì, il missile, denominato Burevestnik ha percorso 14.000 chilometri. Ma il generale Valery Gerasimov, capo di Stato Maggiore russo, ha detto che il Burevestnik, o ’Uccello delle tempeste’ in russo, ha trascorso 15 ore in volo, sottolineando che “questo non è il suo limite”. Poco si sa del Burevestnik, che è stato chiamato in codice Skyfall dalla Nato. Molti esperti occidentali sono scettici al riguardo, precisando che un motore nucleare potrebbe essere altamente inaffidabile. Quando, nel suo discorso sullo stato della nazione del 2018, il presidente russo Vladimir Putin rivelò per la prima volta che la Russia stava lavorando a questo missile, affermò che avrebbe avuto una gittata

Many observers argue that such a missile could be difficult to manoeuvre and pose a threat to the environment. The United States and the Soviet Union worked on nuclear-powered missiles during the Cold War, but eventually shelved the projects, deeming this type of weapon too dangerous. According to leaked reports, the Burevestnik suffered an explosion in August 2019 during tests at a Russian navy range on the White Sea. Five nuclear engineers and two members of the armed forces died, and the incident caused a brief spike in radioactivity that caused nearby population centres to worry. Russian officials never specified which weapon was involved in the explosion, but the United States claimed it was the Burevestnik.

Putin demanded that preparations begin to be made to include this missile among those used in the war by the Russian army, which meanwhile continues to attack Ukraine. On the night of Saturday to Sunday, drones struck the capital Kiev, killing at least three people. Moscow troops also announced that they had surrounded the city of Kupyansk, cutting off all escape routes to some 5,000 Ukrainian soldiers.
