Taking a breather. Doing all the fall things. Cutting down 3 trees that will be in the way of my fruited mulberries next spring. Fruitless mulberries are for city folks. The wild birds have drunken parties around the mulberries when the fruit starts to ferment. And mulberries are fast growing shade. I have three planted about 25 feet apart along the west side to tame the afternoon sun.

To those at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) that, despite international outrage, still plan to act as conduit for a Russian propaganda piece whitewashing Russia’s ongoing brutality in Ukraine, Kyiv Post offers an alternative — “Russians at War”

Despite international outrage, today at the TIFF, the screening of “Russians at War” by Russian-Canadian director and former “Russia Today” Anastasia Trofimova began.

The film had previously been canceled following protests from Ukrainians. However, the screening has now been resumed.

🤔 The Ukrainian Armed Forces lost 80,000 soldiers killed and another 400,000 wounded. The Russian Armed Forces lost 200,000 soldiers killed and another 500,000 wounded — The Wall Street Journal, citing sources in the American government

The publication notes that such losses are problematic for both sides, but they are much more damaging to Ukraine, whose population is four times smaller than that of the Russian Federation. "The high and rapidly growing casualty figures on both sides underscore that in the long term they will have devastating consequences for countries that were struggling with population decline before the conflict"

Opinion: IMF's trip to Moscow is effectively enabling Russia's war against Ukraine

You probably haven't heard that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is preparing to send a mission to Russia. That’s because top IMF officials have been trying to draw as little public attention to their plans as possible – which ought to tell you something. Fund officials themselves know that this is a scandal in the making, write Tymofiy Mylovanov and Nataliia Shapoval in this op-ed.

The IMF is about to send its first official mission to Russia since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Overnight, the Russian military airbase in Engels, Saratov region, came under attack by strike drones.

This airfield hosts strategic Tu-95MS bombers, armed with X-101 missiles, which Russia uses to attack Ukrainian cities.
