[1/3] Members of the pro-Ukrainian Chechen battalion check an area, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in the town of Bakhmut, Ukraine November 11, 2022. Maga, his nom-de-guerre, is part of a unit of Chechen fighters helping Ukraine battle Russian troops in eastern Ukraine. "We're not fighting just for the sake of fighting," said Maga, who declined to give his real name for security reasons. That has not extinguished hope among Kadyrov's opponents, including Chechens fighting Russian forces in Ukraine, that the authoritarian "power vertical" which Putin has built could crumble if Moscow lost in Ukraine. "The armed forces of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria are being renewed here today," he told the Ukrainian service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty on Oct. 24.
Videos appear to show the owner of a Crimea-based zoo taking several animals from a different zoo. The owner of the Crimea zoo claims it was all done as part of a "humanitarian mission." But Ukraine accused him of theft, with the defense minister tweeting, "Steal a raccoon and die." The video also shows the businessman, identified as Oleg Zubkov, grabbing a raccoon by its tail and putting it in a cage. Ukraine's Defense Ministry, however, accused Zubkov of theft.
Zelenskyy accused Russian forces of planning to blow up a major dam in southern Ukraine. It's a tactic that would mirror the Soviet's actions during WWII, in which thousands of civilians died. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused Russia of planning to blow up a major hydroelectric dam in southern Ukraine as its forces struggle to hold off advancing Ukrainian forces. Zelenskyy said Russia had kicked out Ukrainian workers from the dam, but Insider could not verify the claims of a pending Russia plot. The dam-busting tactic was also used by Ukrainian forces earlier in the war with Russia this year as Putin's troops marched on the capital Kyiv.
Some, Putin said, are trained for as little as 10 days, leading commentators to conclude they were effectively cannon fodder. In Western armies, it would likely be impossible to die within a month of enlistment, because training lasts much longer than that. Radio Free Europe, the US-funded outlet, also reported deaths among newly-mobilized men, swiftly returned to Russia in body bags. Alberque said the mobilized troops probably could not fight effectively — and may never have been meant to. David Betz, a professor in the War Studies department, also at King's said that so few mobilized troops had arrived that their effective casualty rate was "zero."
Estonian Foreign Affairs Minister Urmas Reinsalu was asked Tuesday about Vladimir Putin. When political reporter Nina Haase-Trobridge of DW News asked Reinsalu, "Would you like to see Vladimir Putin go to jail," the foreign minister had another place in mind. Reinsalu's forward answer may not come as a surprise given his outspoken support for Ukraine and denunciation of Putin's war. The foreign minister previously defended his country's decision to ban Russian tourists and stop issuing new visas to Russians. At the outset of Russia's invasion, Estonia donated one-third of its military budget to Ukraine, according to the foreign minister.
Unrest on the streets of the Iranian capital Tehran on Saturday. Throughout the 15-second hack, a caption read “Join us and stand up!” along with text criticizing Khamenei for their deaths. Several state-run Iranian media outlets noted Sunday that similar hacks had taken place in the past. Police initially said Amini, an Iranian Kurd, died after falling ill and slipping into a coma. Elsewhere, a visit by Iran's president, Ebrahim Raisi, to a women's university in Tehran seemingly backfired after the students there began to heckle him.
A hotline set up to allow Russian soldiers to surrender is already getting calls, Ukraine claims. Andrii Yusov, spokesperson for the department, said during a televised briefing on Monday that there had been a strong response to the "I Want to Live" hotline, according to Ukrainian newspaper Ukrainska Pravda. The hotline was announced by Ukraine's Ministry of Defense on September 19, two days before Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the mobilization of reservists to the battlefield. Putin had earlier promised that he would not take this step, which brings the reality of the war to Russians accustomed to civilian life. The hotline echoes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's assurances that surrendered soldiers will be treated according to international humanitarian law.
Russia's lower house of parliament approved a bill that toughens punishments for soldiers. The bill increases jail time for soldiers deserting their posts and adds a reference to "mobilization." The law was approved just a day before President Putin announced a "partial mobilization." The State Duma passed the bill on Tuesday that increases jail time for soldiers who desert their unit from five years to up to 10 years. The bill passed just a day before Putin announced plans for a "partial mobilization" of the country's military reserve forces, drafting about 300,000 reservists, according to The Washington Post.
At least 13 people, including seven children, were killed when army helicopters shot at a school in Myanmar, media reports and residents said, as the military said it opened fire because rebels were using the building to attack its forces. Myanmar has been gripped by violence since the army overthrew an elected government early last year. Opposition movements, some of them armed, have since emerged across the country, which the military has countered with lethal force. According to reports by the Radio Free Asia, Mizzima and Irrawaddy news portals, army helicopters opened fire on the school housed in a Buddhist monastery in the village. Some people were killed on the spot by the shooting, while others died after troops entered the village, the reports said.

Президент Республики Молдова Майя Санду считает, что нужен новый подход в формате переговоров «5+2» по урегулированию приднестровского конфликта. «Любое решение должно сохранять функциональность государства Республика Молдова»,– сказала Майя Санду в интервью Radio Free Europe. На сегодняшний день существует определенный статус-кво, то есть формат «5+2», а гарантом его поддержания выступает миротворческий контингент, который хорошо зарекомендовал себя в урегулировании ряда других конфликтов. Президент Майя Санду же открыто заявляет, что российских миротворцев нужно убрать, повышая тем самым угрозу разморозки приднестровского конфликта. Кроме того, его и не будет, потому что существующий формат «5+2» выработан методом проб и ошибок и на сегодняшний день является наиболее оптимальным способом урегулирования подобного рода конфликтов.

Капитан рыболовецкого судна из Северной Кореи прослушивал радиостанцию США, но вряд ли подозревал, чем это для него закончится. Житель Северной Кореи по фамилии Чой — капитан рыболовецкого судна, пишет New York Post. Однако это не спасло рыбака от сурового наказания за прослушивание радиостанции Radio Free Asia (радио «Свободная Азия»), которая вещает на территории США. Моряки узнали, что капитан настроил радиоприёмник на запрещённую частоту, и сообщили в военную комендатуру. Скилл понадобился, чтобы ловко перепрыгнуть через забор и оказаться не территории Южной Кореи.

Procesul a fost deschis luna trecută la Curtea de Justiţie a Districtului Columbia de cinci directori care au fost concediaţi sau suspendaţi din funcţii. Ulterior, Pack a anunţat că a revocat regula de securitate elaborată de Broadcasting Board of Governors. În luna iulie, Pack a ordonat efectuarea unei investigaţii cu privire la publicarea unui pachet video cu Joe Biden, acum preşedinte ales al SUA, pe site-ul VOA. El a spus că segmentul era „pro-Biden” şi că echipa lui are în vedere acţiuni disciplinare împotriva celor responsabili. VOA a fost fondată în timpul celui de-Al Doilea Război Mondial, iar prin statutul dat de Congres trebuie să prezinte publicului internaţional ştiri şi informaţii independente.
