[1/5] A new building for earthquake survivors is under construction in Diyarbakir, Turkey August 26, 2023. With work underway on a fraction of the planned new buildings in the devastated city of Adiyaman, Kaplan fears a long wait together with his disabled wife and other survivors. One senior government official with direct knowledge of the reconstruction plan said the target could be missed, citing insufficient fresh funding to hold new tenders amid rising costs. They both said the effort had taken a blow when fewer companies bid for the reconstruction tenders after a post-election economic policy U-turn in June sent the currency plunging. "Our budget resources have been prepared for this huge, comprehensive project and can be updated when necessary," Erdogan's office said.

And his fellow veterans of the Ukraine conflict are bound to play a role in the fight for their own country. With nearly all the opposition now in jail or exile, that is no small feat. Six weeks ago, there was a brief jolt of hope for the Belarus opposition, when Russia's Wagner mercenary group launched a mutiny inside Russia. But within hours, Lukashenko himself helped bring an end to the Russian mutiny, negotiating for Wagner fighters to move to Belarus. Exactly what role the Wagner fighters will play in Belarus is anyone's guess, but for the opposition, nothing good can come of it, said Kedyshko.

☆ Putin hints that Russia's weapons are outdated, saying it needs to modernize its military hardware

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia's weapons need to be modernized. "The same applies to weapons, which need constant and uninterrupted upgrades and improvements to remain effective," Putin added. Putin's admission is a remarkable reversal from his comments in August, when he bragged to foreign allies at a military forum that Russia's weapons are "cutting edge" and "decades ahead" of their foreign counterparts. In September, Putin also urged Russian defense companies to modernize and increase their production capacities, advising them to study how their equipment fares against Western weapons, per state-affiliated TV channel NTV. Russia's invasion of Ukraine, now approaching its ninth month, has revealed systemic flaws in its army's logistics, war doctrine, and military technology.

☆ After weeks of chaos, Russia says partial mobilisation is complete

Oct 31 (Reuters) - Russia has completed the partial military mobilisation announced by President Vladimir Putin in September, the Defence Ministry said on Monday. Putin announced Russia's first mobilisation since World War Two on Sept. 21, one of a series of escalatory measures in response to Ukrainian gains on the battlefield. But the mobilisation has proceeded chaotically, with many highly publicised cases of call-up notices going to the wrong men. The mobilisation was a tacit admission that Russia is facing serious difficulties in a conflict that Putin still refuses to describe as a war with Ukraine, describing it instead as a "special military operation". Russia still holds large swathes of southern and eastern Ukraine and partly occupies four regions of the country.

☆ Russia launched a hotline for citizens with questions about the war and said it was getting 118 calls a minute at one point

The Russian government set up a helpline to answer its citizens' questions about the Ukraine war. At its peak, it received about 170,000 calls a day, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said. That's down to about 20,000 calls a day now, Mishustin said. The calls have now trickled down to around 20,000 a day, Mishustin added. The Kremlin is also running a database of frequently asked questions for citizens.

☆ Putin admits Russia is facing 'issues' in the Ukraine war and told his team to make faster decisions

Russian President Putin on Tuesday admitted his country faces "issues" from the war in Ukraine. Putin also told his team to speed up the decision-making process in the conflict. While the Kremlin wrote that Putin used the phrase "economic restrictions," the AFP reported that Putin said Russia was facing "economic difficulties" due to sanctions over the war. Putin's partial mobilization of the country's 300,000 military reservists in September created new challenges for production processes and output maintenance, according to a Russian central bank report released last week. The exercise is also expected to "negatively affect consumer and business confidence," the central bank said.

☆ Putin tries to boost decision-making and kit manufacture for Ukraine campaign

LONDON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday called for more streamlined decision-making in Russia's military campaign in Ukraine, addressing a new Coordination Council designed to boost support for an invasion now in its ninth month. Putin set up the new council last week as he imposed martial law in four partly-occupied regions of Ukraine that he has declared part of Russia, where his forces have suffered several defeats by a resurgent Ukrainian army. "Administrative reform is impossible without broader coordination between all departments: the economic bloc, the security bloc, the regions." Even before Putin started a "partial mobilisation" of hundreds of thousands of men last month for the Ukraine campaign, soldiers were complaining on social media of being woefully underequipped. The chairman of the new council, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, told Putin: "We need to intensify work to increase the production of personal protective equipment.

President Vladimir Putin announced on Wednesday that Russia would impose martial law in the four regions in Ukraine he illegally annexed last month, as his military struggles to maintain its grip on territory amid Ukrainian advances. Therefore, I signed a decree on the introduction of martial law in these four subjects of the Russian Federation,” Putin said on national television. Despite these criticisms, Putin went ahead with formal annexation of the four regions at the end of September. On Wednesday, Putin also signed an order introducing some elements of wartime measures to regions bordering Ukraine — such as Crimea, Belgorod, Voronezh, Kursk, and Rostov, among others. Several of the regions have been important staging areas for Russia’s war in Ukraine and in recent weeks have come under increasing Ukrainian fire.
