Russia agrees to accept payment in Pakistani tangerines amid payment difficulties

TASS reports that Russian chickpeas and lentils will be exchanged for tangerines and rice from Pakistan.

The decision to move to an exchange was made because the parties “are experiencing certain difficulties in making mutual payments,” explained Pakistan’s Deputy Minister of Commerce Nasir Hamid.

Under the agreement, the Russian company will supply 15,000 tons of chickpeas and 10,000 tons of lentils in exchange for 15,000 tons of tangerines and 10,000 tons of potatoes. @ukrainejournal

Russians shot this down to keep it out of Ukrainian hands. Ukraine got it

For Halloween. The Witch

The Russians dropped explosives from a drone near a bus in Kherson.

About 2:00 p.m. in the suburbs next to the bus, the Russians dropped explosives from a drone. There were up to 20 passengers in the bus. "Fortunately, people were not injured this time," said Mrochko, the head of the MBA

In the Sumy region, Russians also attacked a bus with a drone.

Three passengers were injured in the attack: a 65-year-old man and 54-year-old and 63-year-old women.

This is not a NATO Target , it's a cowardly attack on civilians in Ukraine.

Good Morning Resisters everywhere

🇸🇰Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico expressed his desire to restore “normal” relations with Russia if the war in Ukraine ends during his government’s tenure, claiming that the European Union needs Russia, speaking to Slovak outlets Aktuality and Denník N on October 3

Speaking to reporters, Fico stated that “If the war ends during this government’s mandate, I will do everything to restore economic and normal relations with Russia. The EU needs Russia, and of course, Russia needs the EU.”

Fico also added his intent to maintain “normal, friendly relations” with Ukraine, adding that all wars eventually end through negotiations, and in his view, there is no military solution to conflicts. He said that Ukraine should remain a transit country for resources needed by Europe.

Additionally, Fico referenced Czech President Petr Pavel, suggesting that Pavel had shifted his stance on the war in Ukraine, allegedly stating that Ukraine should prepare for some form of compromise.

Earlier, Kyiv condemned Slovak PM Fico’s comments about Nazis in Ukrainian military.

Being a Putin lover has aged him

Air defense activity was reported in Kurchatov, the city where the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant is located.

The Kursk region authorities have officially confirmed that the shelling of Kurchatov did not affect the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant in any way.

It was likely that the missile hit an ammunition depot several kilometers from the nuclear power plant.

Russia has launched 119 Kinzhal missiles at Ukraine, 28 of which have been shot down. Today, it has become known that another Patriot system has arrived in Ukraine that can shoot them down.

Unfortunately, Ukraine has not had such air defense systems for a long time.

Most of the objects hit by the Kinzhals are civilian: 68 civilian versus 15 military (latest available data, there may be more).

Vovchansk. No, this is not the aftermath of a nuclear strike. This is a town that the Russian army came to “liberate” in May

Russian train with letter Z not allowed into Lithuania until it was cleaned

Border guards in Kyana noticed the inscriptions and symbols on the Moscow-Kaliningrad transit train. The letters "Z", "ZOV" and the inscription "Vilnius is a city of Russia" were painted on the carriages.

The border guards threatened to uncouple the graffitied carriages. As a result, the train personnel had to scrub off the graffiti. The train manager and his subordinates, under the supervision of the border guards, erased the inscriptions and letters with sand.

A Ren-TV employee posed as a BBC journalist in order to get close to the opposition in Europe.

Journalists found out that an employee of the Russian federal TV channel Ren-TV, Airat Shiryaev, posed as a special correspondent for the BBC Russian Service "Mark Nazarov" in order to film events of the Russian opposition in Europe.

Airat Shiryaev is a former employee of NTV and the Izvestia media group, now working for a company that produces content for REN TV. He created WhatsApp and Telegram on a British phone number under the name Mark Nazarov, and also created an email with the address of marknazarov.bbc@gmail.com. In addition, he forged the press card of a BBC correspondent, but made a mistake in the word "valid" - he wrote it with a "w".

In particular, under the guise of a BBC journalist, he tried to get accredited for a meeting with Tatyana Lazareva in Dusseldorf. One of the organizers of the meeting, Yuri Nikitin, suspected forgery and turned to the editorial office of the publication. The BBC asked to let "Mark Nazarov" in to meet him at the event.

However, Nazarov did not come to Düsseldorf, he sent there the local stringers he hired - Olga and Sergey, whom he also convinced that he worked for the BBC. Olga showed reporters a list of questions for an interview with Tatyana Lazareva, which he sent her. Among others were the following: "In Russia, you were included in the list of terrorists and extremists. What do you think about this?", "Russian propaganda says that you are happy about the strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Russia, if you do not take it out of context, as you actually said?"

Olga called "Mark Nazarov" at the phone number from which he wrote to her on WhatsApp, and asked who he really was. He assured her that he was a BBC reporter, had previously worked "at Echo, at Venediktov's" and "left Russia after the start of the special military operation." After that, the BBC journalists themselves called him, but he continued to assure them that he worked for the BBC, and offered money for a video recording from a meeting with Lazareva.

"Don't ask stupid questions so you don't get stupid answers. And I don't want to tell you. Especially for comrades like you. Change your position, come to Moscow, maybe I will tell you how my photo ended up on the BBC press card. And now I suggest that you merge into the sunset and not interfere with our work," he eventually wrote in response to a request from the BBC editorial board on Telegram.
