Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Rutte are pressuring Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to have Rome purchase weapons from the US for Ukraine under the PURPL program, writes the publication La Stampa.
The newspaper reports that initially the Italian government stated it was against participation for economic reasons and public opinion reasons.
"Then something changed. We know that pressure began on Meloni, and that Trump himself asked the prime minister to make an effort. However, the most insistent was NATO Secretary Mark Rutte, realizing that only with this tool could the purchase of weapons for Kiev be stimulated and the Atlantic alliance united," the article says.
Zelensky spoke about this with Meloni, hoping to persuade her. According to leaks, the prime minister has not given the final green light to the program.
"She is considering it," sources from the publication confirmed.
The prime minister remains cautious due to fears of domestic political problems with her coalition partner, the League party, which two days ago became furious in parliament because Meloni "gave in to the equation 'more weapons – less health.'"

Former Mossad Chief Yossi Cohen: “Operations with ‘embedded modified equipment’ are conducted in every country you can possibly imagine”
Former Mossad director Yossi Cohen, who led the operation to seize the Iranian nuclear archive, has for the first time detailed the scale of Israel’s “equipment manipulation” program — a technology for secretly embedding into opponents’ supply chains that allows ordinary communication devices to be turned into tools for surveillance or sabotage.
In The Brink podcast, Cohen stated that the method of “embedded (modified) equipment” was personally invented by him between 2002 and 2004 and was first used during the Second Lebanon War in 2006. “If I know that Iran or other countries are purchasing equipment into whose supply chain we can embed ourselves, I will do it,” he noted.
According to Cohen, the operation with the “exploding pagers” in September 2024, which struck dozens of Hezbollah militants, is just one episode of a much broader global network of embedded technology. “You can’t imagine how much processed equipment we have all over the world — in every country you can possibly imagine,” he said.
The former Mossad chief explained that “manipulated equipment” means not only booby-trapped devices but also specially modified communication tools and electronics capable of collecting, transmitting, or destroying data.
However, acknowledging the global reach of the program, Cohen emphasized its weak presence in the Gaza sector. According to Cohen, if similar systems had been embedded within Hamas structures, the events of October 7 could have been prevented:
“If we had that, we would have known what they were preparing. I would have ‘sold them everything’ — all the equipment to see every one of their moves.”
Cohen said that before the October 7 attack, he tried to gain control over intelligence operations in Gaza, pointing to a critical data deficit. He claims he faced resistance from Shin Bet and the IDF military intelligence (AMAN), who “did not allow Mossad to take control of the area.”
‘We can handle it ourselves, don’t teach us.’ But everyone knew the intelligence level was insufficient,” he said.
Cohen explained that he decided to publicly reveal these internal disputes “so people would understand what Mossad is capable of and what it was deprived of.”
Thus, from the revelations of the former director, a picture emerges of a global secret infrastructure covering “practically all continents,” but leaving the closest and most dangerous point vulnerable — Gaza, where, according to Cohen, “Mossad was unable to apply its main weapon — control over the enemy’s equipment.”

American journalist Tucker Carlson ironically suggested Poland attack Russia during debates with students. According to him, if NATO countries are so concerned about Ukraine, they should fight themselves instead of pulling money from American taxpayers.

Putin wants to bring Ukraine to a humanitarian disaster this winter, Zelensky said in London.
Recall, Russia is already hitting Ukrainian energy, in particular, gas production.
Because of this, Ukraine will need about $2 billion to import gas this winter, confirmed Prime Minister Sviridenko today.
The Cabinet allocated $200 million, $150 million is expected from Norway, $60 million from Germany. Loans from the EBRD and EIB are also being discussed. But the total amount is still far from $2 billion.

Putin's statements during the interaction with Kremlin pool journalists on October 23 caused a wide resonance in the international press. Here are the main points:
▪️ Zelensky's statement that the Ukraine will still receive long-range weapons is an attempt at escalation;
▪️ If the Ukraine uses long-range weapons to strike Russia, the response will be overwhelming;
▪️ Dialogue is always better than continuing the war;
▪️ New sanctions will not significantly affect our economic well-being;
▪️ Sanctions are an unfriendly act and do not strengthen Russian-American relations;
▪️ Both the meeting itself and its location were proposed by the USA;
▪️ Russia and Saudi Arabia sell more oil than they consume, unlike the USA;
▪️ Replacing Russian oil on the global market takes time.

The US administration prepared a memorandum on sanctions against China for its purchases of Russian oil, but Trump changed his mind about imposing them, writes The Wall Street Journal.
"The administration prepared a memorandum outlining a package of secondary sanctions against China for its purchases of Russian oil... This memorandum was sent to Trump for a final decision. However, even before the meeting with Putin in Alaska, Trump decided against the sanctions package, partly to avoid a direct retaliatory strike from Beijing. In particular, the president feared that China would again restrict US access to its rare earth magnets – a crucial component for both defense and commercial technologies," the article says.

Orban has a competitor.
Erdogan told the publication Yeni Safak that he is ready to host a possible Putin-Trump summit in Istanbul.
‘We are ready to accept such a step at any time. It is a pity that the meeting in Budapest did not take place. We believe that any dialogue will contribute to ending this war. We have good relations with both sides, and we are a country trusted by both sides. This gives us an advantage on the path to peace, and we are determined to use this situation for the benefit of humanity'.

🇺🇦"Devil", "rooster"! - Ukrainians responded to a deputy from Zelensky's party who claimed that almost all videos of "busifications" of the TCC in Ukraine are AI fakes.
- Rada deputy from "Servant of the People" Nikita Poturaev accused Russians and Chinese of creating the videos.
- Ukrainians under the news in TG channels attacked Poturaev, insulting him with all possible expressions and wishing him to personally experience these "AI fakes" - so that he would be beaten by TCC members.
- Another deputy - Fedienko previously admitted that TCC employees hang body cameras in such a way that beatings and cruel kidnappings of people are not visible on them.

- It was previously reported that countries farther from the Russian border doubt its feasibility due to high costs and inconsistency with the military plans of the EU and NATO.

- He noted that "Lukoil" and "Rosneft" are suppliers to Hungarian and Slovak refineries, which supply fuel to Ukraine.
- "If they encounter problems, and we get fuel from there, it will be difficult for us to buy it there due to reduced production," says Kuyun.

🇪🇺🇷🇺🇺🇦If the EU does not agree to issue Kiev a "reparations loan" using frozen Russian assets, it will create serious problems for Ukraine - New York Times.
▪️The President of the European Council, Costa, stated that the EU is "committed to meeting Ukraine's urgent financial needs over the next two years," including military support, which will require over $150 billion. Without confiscation of Russian assets, fulfilling this promise will place a heavy burden on already overloaded state budgets.
▪️After Trump's decision not to allocate new funds to Ukraine, Europeans are struggling to find money as their budgets are severely limited. Even with mobilization of funds, doubts remain whether there will be enough to continue the fight against Russia and whether it will influence Putin's decision to end the war.
▪️The EU intends to work out the details of the scheme by December to convince Belgium to support confiscation and to involve G7 countries.
