Kuleba announces positive news regarding Ukraine’s progress towards EU
European Pravda
Ukrainska Pravda
Monday, 30 October 2023, 23:42
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/10/30/7426452/

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said that news with a “positive effect” on Ukraine’s movement towards EU membership will soon appear.

SOURCE:
Kuleba on the national joint 24/7 newscast on Monday, reported by European Pravda

DETAILS: Asked about the results of the European Commission’s assessment of Ukraine’s progress towards EU membership, on the basis of which the European Council is to make a decision on negotiations, the foreign minister said that “the results will not be announced”.

“But I think that by the end of this week you will see events and news that will have, let’s say, a positive effect. The Ukrainian authorities have worked hard to do everything that is required from our side,” he said.

Kuleba reminded his audience that, as he has said in previous months, Ukraine will open EU membership negotiations by the end of this year “if there is no force majeure”.

“This will be the next historic moment. And we are now moving quite confidently towards this goal. I will not disclose the rest. The work continues at all levels,” he concluded.

BACKGROUND:

• In a video address to the leaders of the EU member states at a summit in Brussels, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on them to support the start of EU membership negotiations with Ukraine at the end of the year.

• According to media reports, the European Commission intends to present a positive assessment of Ukraine’s progress in applying for EU membership on 8 November, but this assessment may contain additional conditions.

• European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is reported to be likely to visit Ukraine in early November, which may indicate that the assessment of Ukraine’s progress in the “candidate” reforms will be positive.

We also talk about a strange coincidence, that is, at the exact moment of Hamas’ attack on Israel, Russia stopped large-scale attacks with Iranian drones on Ukrainian cities.

Do a terrorist state and a terrorist organization coordinate activities?

The Head of State informed about the continuation of the grain corridor in the Black Sea and Ukraine’s defense needs to protect people, critical infrastructure, and the country’s port facilities.

“It is important to preserve our infrastructure, the grain corridor. We are grateful for your support – support of your people, your team, and, of course, for the military support. This is very important. Thank you also for the decision regarding the aircraft. They will help us control the sky,” the President of Ukraine said.

The parties noted the successful conduct of the third advisors’ meeting in Malta on the implementation of the key principles of the Ukrainian Peace Formula. Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his gratitude for the participation of the Netherlands’ representative in this event.

The President also thanked for the initiation of bilateral negotiations on security guarantees in accordance with the Joint Declaration of support for Ukraine. He said that the Netherlands became the first non-G7 country that started such negotiations.

The Head of State also called on the EU to speed up work on the 12th package of sanctions against Russia and to develop an effective mechanism for directing the earnings from frozen Russian assets for the reconstruction of our country.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Mark Rutte also discussed the situation in the Middle East, with a particular focus on assistance to citizens of Ukraine and the Netherlands who are in need.

The President said that it is in the interest of the entire world to prevent further escalation and the outbreak of a larger war. He emphasized that Ukraine is ready to work together with its partners to put an end to terror and protect civilian lives.

Mykhailo Fedorov: Every piece of equipment, every trench, every military site should be protected by electronic warfare
Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine
30 October 2023 14:45
Defense Deputy Prime Minister Innovations
https://www.kmu.gov.ua/en/news/mykhailo-fedorov-kozhna-odynytsia-tekhniky-okop-ta-mistseznakhodzhennia-viiskovykh-maiut-buty-zakhyshcheni-rebom

Over the past year, the defence-tech sector in Ukraine has been actively developing. In particular, we have launched the Brave1 cluster for the development of defence technologies, increased the production of drones by more than 100 times, and more than 40 manufacturers have joined the Diia.City space. All this allows us to technologically strengthen the military at the front.

Now it is necessary to produce and improve electronic warfare equipment in order to fight the enemy more effectively. This was stated by Mykhailo Fedorov, Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Education, Science and Technology Development and Minister of Digital Transformation, in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.

“We are constantly finding technologies to counter enemy electronic warfare. Brave1, the opening of the electronic warfare market in Ukraine, constant field exercises, product testing allow us to catch up and gain an advantage in some areas. But we need to scale this up. Every piece of equipment must be protected by electronic warfare. Every trench, every location of our soldiers must be protected by electronic warfare to analyse the frequencies at which enemy drones fly. This is a huge systematic work and a new doctrine of modern technological warfare,” Mykhailo Fedorov said.

To ensure that the Defence Forces can effectively fight the technological war, the Government is developing new policies and supporting legislative changes. Dozens of draft laws have already been passed, and a resolution was recently adopted to facilitate the approval of UAVs and electronic warfare equipment. This will allow companies to officially sell their products to the state, and the military to get new technology on the front line.

“We need to remove all the bottlenecks that block the development of the private sector. Everything is changing rapidly, and only entrepreneurs can react quickly to such changes and expand production. This is shown by the experience of the First and Second World Wars, when the most progressive manufacturers came together, all opportunities were opened to them, and they created new technologies to win,” said Mykhailo Fedorov.

A few days old, however it shows how Russia exaggerates their effectiveness: "Ukraine ‘Admits’ Russia Shot Down 24 Fighter Jets In Just 5 Days; But There Is A Hitch To The Story"

"But there is a hitch. Some experts believe that although Russian air defenses may take pride in bringing down 24 Ukrainian fighter jets in less than a week, most of them would likely be aerial decoys instead of actual jets."

"The Ukrainian officials, on their part, were quick to refute these claims as baseless and accused Moscow of overestimating the number of Ukrainian equipment it destroys in combat. For instance, Russia had earlier claimed that it shot down 70 Su-25 Frogfoot fighters of the Ukrainian Air Force, several times more than the Ukrainian service had in its inventory."

When the Russian MOD officially states destroying several times what Ukraine has, it should be clear that Russian official claims are worthless.

Vatican declares support for Ukrainian Peace Formula
European Pravda
Ukrainska Pravda
Monday, 30 October 2023, 21:00
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/10/30/7426439/

The Vatican is ready to support the propositions of the Ukrainian Peace Formula regarding humanitarian support and the release of Ukrainian prisoners and children.

SOURCE:

Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State of the Holy See in an address to the participants of the third meeting on the Ukrainian Peace Formula in Malta, quoted by the official news portal of the Holy See, Vatican News, and reported by European Pravda

DETAILS:

He said that the previous two meetings on the peace formula in Denmark and Saudi Arabia is a “commendable effort, one worthy of support”, as it “encourages us not to consider armed confrontation as an unavoidable tool for resolving conflicts”.

“Recalling Pope Francis’ repeated calls for peace, ‘both in his countless interventions and through actions on behalf of Ukraine’… Finding a solution is not the responsibility of Ukraine alone; it is a common responsibility,” Parolin said in his address.

He added that an even greater and “more creative commitment at all levels” is needed, since Ukraine cannot yet protect the integrity of its territory, provide citizens with security and necessary things for life, and achieve peace.

The Secretary of State of the Holy See emphasised his support “for resolving humanitarian issues, such as food security and preservation of the natural environment”, as well as his readiness to “continue its efforts aimed at alleviating the sufferings of the Ukrainian people and the return of prisoners and children to Ukraine”.

BACKGROUND:

• The third Ukrainian Peace Formula meeting, held in Malta on 28-29 October, focused on the issues of nuclear safety, food and energy security, releasing prisoners of war and deported persons, and the restoration of Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

• Representatives of over 66 countries attended the meeting in Malta, a significantly higher number than at the previous meeting in Saudi Arabia. The list of attendees has not been disclosed, but it was revealed that Armenia participated for the first time.

Ukrainian kamikaze drone destroys newest Russian T-90M Proryv tank

Ukrainian soldiers used a kamikaze drone to destroy the latest Russian T-90M Proryv tank near the village of Chelburda in the occupied Kherson region.

According to censor.net, a video recording of a successful attack by a Ukrainian drone operator was published on social networks.

“On the left bank of the Kherson region in the town of Chelburda, the Russian “no analogs” T-90 M “Proryv” was detected by the aerial reconnaissance of the 406th artillery brigade in the afternoon while moving to a position. Then the “Samosud” crew of the Lastivka UAV unit of the 11th brigade of the Ukranian Army hit an enemy tank with an FPV drone, which later burned to the ground,” says the comment to the video.

The state media of Russia have called the T-90M Proryv the most advanced armored vehicle in the family of T-90 main battle tanks and most of all fit for modern warfare thanks to its all-round armor protection, top-notch all-weather highly automated fire control and enhanced survivability.

Meanwhile, Russian army has lost at least 25 T-90M tanks since Russia’s invasion began on February 24, 2022.

German Galushchenko: Ukraine is the first country in the world to introduce multi-level protection of energy facilities
Ministry of Energy of Ukraine,
30 October 2023 16:24

Energy security International activity

Cooperation between Ukraine and international partners is the way to address global energy security challenges. This was discussed at the third meeting of national security and foreign policy advisers on the implementation of President Zelenskyy’s Peace Formula, held in Malta under the chairmanship of Andriy Yermak, Head of the Presidential Office. Energy security is one of the points of the Peace Formula that was discussed.

“russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have caused enormous damage and require the development of an international response system to ensure accountability. Ukraine needs a protective ‘shield’ for energy facilities through air defence systems and equipment, as well as the supply and stockpiling of equipment in Europe to restore the energy infrastructure,” said Minister of Energy German Galushchenko.

He noted that such measures were already underway: Ukraine is the first country in the world to introduce multi-level protection of civilian energy infrastructure against the consequences of hostile attacks.

Another important aspect is to ensure international monitoring of energy facilities and mutual protection. It is also necessary to invest in decentralised energy systems, explore alternative ways of supplying energy resources and increase the capacity of interstate electricity interconnections.

The Minister thanked the partner countries, in particular the co-chairs of the Energy Security Working Group, Poland and Denmark, for their joint efforts to implement the Peace Formula.

“We are working together to ensure the reliability of energy supplies, strengthen the resilience of energy infrastructure, diversify energy trade and prevent russian energy manipulation. These are the building blocks of energy security, and thus the well-being of Ukraine and the world,” concluded German Galushchenko.

Putin blamed the riot at the Makhachkala airport in Dagestan on the West. Which means the FSB was behind it, or Putin does not really object to it.
