With over 90% of votes counted the right-wing populist party ANO of billionaire former Prime Minister Andrej Babis, a self-described "Trumpist" who opposes continued military assistance for Ukraine, had garnered 36% of the vote. ANO translates to "Yes" but is also an acronym for Action of Dissatisfied Citizens. The center-right Spolu (Together) coalition, headed by Prime Minister Petr Fiala, is on track to take 22.4% of the vote.

Russian government spokesperson Dmitry Peskov maintained that the weapons, if delivered, would not be a game-changer in the war. The question, as before, is this: who can launch these missiles? Can only Ukrainians launch them, or do American soldiers have to do that? Who is determining the targeting of these missiles? The American side or the Ukrainians themselves? Moscow has previously said that it will consider the provision of targeting data or intelligence to launch attacks as crossing the line.

Polish authorities have detained a Ukrainian man suspected of involvement in the 2022 explosions that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines running under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany, prosecutors in Warsaw said on September 30. The suspect has been identified as Volodymyr Z. He was detained in Pruzhkow, central Poland, on the basis of a European arrest warrant issued by Germany.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, speaking to a security forum in Warsaw, said his country was offering to Poland and all our partners to build a joint, truly reliable shield against Russian aerial threats, drawing on Ukraine's experience. He said his country's military can counter all types of Russian drones and missiles and argued that if Russia loses the ability to strike in the skies, it will be unable to continue the war.

I mean, this I am sure in my people, in my army, and I am sure in strengthening of the in support of the United States. But President Trump was more positive in it and he showed that he wants to support Ukraine to the very end, so we understand now that we are ready to finish this war as quick as possible, and he wants and I want and our people want,

Ukraine is taking steps to begin exporting some of its weapons, such as the naval drones it has used to pummel Russia's navy in the Black Sea. At first glance, permitting companies to export weaponry abroad when the country is at war and its growing domestic defense industry has been critical to keeping Ukraine in the fight seems deeply counterintuitive. Ukraine, both its political and industrial leadership, has been thinking carefully about this, though.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has landed in New York where he will attend the United Nations general assembly and try to drum up support for a US-led peace effort to end the war in Ukraine. We are doing everything to stop the war, he wrote on X on Tuesday, adding that he had two dozen meetings scheduled. The Ukrainian leader is expected to meet US president Donald Trump and other world leaders on the sidelines of the UN meeting, and deliver an address on Wednesday.

NATO is paying for it. Just give them the Patriots. He added: Just give them the Patriots. We might make a profit off of it. Give them a chance to defend themselves. They're not aiming for the soldiers. They're aiming for students now. They're aiming for children. Not only do they kidnap children. They are aiming to kill children! All they want is protection. Head-to-head, they beat the Russians.

beautiful event.

John Swinney and Donald Trump remain at odds on a whole range of issues - but something has fundamentally changed in their relationship. On Wednesday, Scotland's first minister will don his sharpest evening wear to attend a State banquet at Windsor Castle in honour of the US president. Six months ago there seemed little chance that the SNP leader would have anything to do with President Trump's second state visit to the UK.

We're in danger of a kind of ridiculous chicken and egg situation here, or a trap by ( Russian President Vladimir) Putin, whereby all these so-called security guarantees and boots on the ground, none of that becomes relevant until such a time as there is a ceasefire or armistice. And the conditions for that deployment, if we insist on a ceasefire, may never be met.

Out of all European militaries, Ukraine's armored forces stand as some of the strongest on the continent. With a tank force of more than 1,100, Ukraine has solidified its position as capable of sustaining prolonged operations with reasonable results against a far larger force. While Ukraine's tank force might be the most battle-tested in Europe, it is by no means the largest.

The team started cooking for hospitals and the national guard, and making up food packs for people who needed them. The war was a massive shock for us, but it was also a time when everyone pulled together. Suppliers were helping they would call and say: We've got 10kg of sweet potato, do you want them? You would put a message on the group chat with other restaurants and bars saying you'd had a request to feed 400 people.

As any prosecutor and surely Mr. Woodward knows, the person on the inside who calls and says 'I want to talk' is an informant, or snitch, and is generally looking to bargain a deal, to improve his or her own situation, to place the blame on someone else in return for being allowed to plead down or out certain charges, and therefore "knows that his or her testimony will be unrespected, even reviled, subjected to rigorous examination and often rejection."

Sources told RFE/RL's Hungarian Service that components found missing from the planes include electronics that control location and weapons systems in the aircraft. They added that Interior Ministry officials suspect the theft of the parts may have been orchestrated by those inside the Kecskemet military airport where the decommissioned planes are parked. Hungarian media Bikk, which first reported on the issue, said unknown individuals cut through the perimeter fence of the airport, drove onto the base, and gained access to the aircraft.
