At the 25th Ramstein, on October 12, Ukraine’s victory plan will be presented to all partners, according to Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine. “The victory plan provides for the necessary strengthening of Ukraine. We have already started negotiations with the United States as a leader of support, we are attracting all partners,” he noted.

At the same time, NATO countries will propose concrete steps for Ukraine’s accession to the Alliance, according to the Washington Post. According to the publication, this option is being considered, but it may not meet Kiev’s urgent demands. However, such a step would be an important signal for Ukraine. “At the same time, Ukrainian officials fear that the US presidential election may call into question further security assistance,” the material also states.

The Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has also calmed the situation by saying: “As long as I am the head of the country, Ukraine will not join NATO”.

The Ukrainian SBU is implementing “security measures” in Sumy. The “security measures” also involve the National Police, military law enforcement officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Guard. Law enforcement officers will stop cars, check documents, check possible restrictions on passage and will travel on the streets. “The aim is to prevent and neutralize threats of reconnaissance and explosive activities against our state, prevent provocations and increase the safety of citizens,” the statement reads.

He was a soldier devoted to military affairs and his country, a commander who cared about the personnel and did not leave aside the problems of his military team,” the post reads.

According to El Pais, “The West is increasing pressure on Ukraine to conclude negotiations with Russia.” According to the Spanish newspaper, the allies’ position regarding the need for negotiations with Russia is confirmed by the “less” support given to Zelensky during his trip to the United States.

The United States and its NATO allies are actively condoning Kiev’s criminal line.”

He added: “The SBU and GUR committed dozens of assassinations of Russian officials, social and political figures and journalists, both in the liberated regions and in the depths of Russia. The victims were often representatives of patriotic sentiments and leaders of public opinion, such as political scientist and publicist Daria Dugina, Vladlen Tatarsky and writer Zakhar Prilepin”.

In particular, MI6 and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine were developing an operation to undermine power lines connecting nuclear power plants with the Russian national energy system.
