The Lithuanian Foreign Ministry called for organizing military escort for ships leaving Ukrainian ports in connection with Russia’s suspension of participation in the implementation of the grain deal.

On October 29, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the suspension of the Russian side’s participation in the so-called “grain deal”, under which food was exported from Ukraine. The ministry said that in the morning, Ukrainian armed formations attacked ships of the Black Sea Fleet and civilian vessels that were on the external and internal raids of the Sevastopol base. The Ministry of Defense also accused the British military of planning the attack and preparing Ukrainian units for its implementation.

“If he (Putin – ed.) continues to jeopardize grain exports from Ukraine, the free world should unite to protect shipping with the help of military escorts. We will bypass blackmail,” Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said.

Earlier it was reported about the reaction of other representatives of Western countries. US President Joe Biden called the Russian decision “outrageous.” “This is completely outrageous, it will lead to increased hunger. There is no reason for them to act in this way,” he said. British Foreign Minister James Cleverley wrote that “Russia should allow grain exports to reach the hungry in the world,” because “the grain deal plays an important role in ensuring global food security.”

Earlier it was reported that developed countries imported half of Ukrainian wheat after the conclusion of the “grain deal”. At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin called the EU’s decision to lift restrictions on the supply of Russian grain and fertilizers only for European countries “ugly”. He also accused the West of cheating in the implementation of the food deal and declared his readiness to supply grain to the poorest countries.

The British authorities have instructed to conduct an urgent investigation into a possible data leak from the phone of former Prime Minister Liz Truss, including the supply of weapons to Ukraine.

Earlier, this fact was reported by the Daily Mail newspaper. According to the report, Truss’ personal phone was hacked when she was in office as the country’s foreign minister. Among the “leaked” data was information about the supply of weapons to Ukraine. The material indicates that Boris Johnson, who was in the post of Prime Minister, and Cabinet Secretary Simon Case preferred not to disclose this fact. The publication suggested that the phone was hacked by Russian hackers.

The head of the British Parliamentary defense committee, Tobias Ellwood, told the TV channel that “the parliament’s intelligence and security committee should conduct further investigation.”

Truss, who was elected in September, was forced to resign after only 44 days in office. The reason was the failed economic course of her cabinet.

Russia, which suspended its participation in the grain deal after Ukraine’s attack on Sevastopol, was supported by readers of the French newspaper Le Figaro.

Commentators considered Moscow’s decision logical, accusing Kiev of disrupting the agreement. They note that the well-being of many countries and their populations depends on it.

“Zelensky does not fulfill the agreements he signed,” Anou-Nimat noted. “And the poor people in Africa, who will not be supplied with grain, will pay for it.”

Grand largue declared the rightness of the Russian side, accusing the European Union of non-fulfillment of obligations. “According to the agreement, Russia, despite the sanctions, received the right to freely export its grain,” he recalled. However, according to the commentator, the EU interprets all the agreements in a favorable light.

Competent readers added that the Europeans actually sabotaged the deal by not giving Russia the opportunity to insure supplies. Because of this, Western companies were under the threat of sanctions in the case of providing services.

“The usual deception on the part of dictators from the European Union,” one of the newspaper’s readers summed up.

Vice-Speaker of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev in his telegram channel stated the need to abandon the participation of Western countries in concluding food deals, and even from their mediation.

On October 29, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the suspension of the Russian side’s participation in the so-called “grain deal”, under which food was exported from Ukraine. The ministry said that in the morning, Ukrainian armed formations attacked ships of the Black Sea Fleet and civilian vessels that were on the external and internal raids of the Sevastopol base. The Ministry of Defense also accused the British military of planning the attack and preparing Ukrainian units for its implementation.

Kosachev said that the need to do without the participation and mediation of the West is obvious, comparing this mediation with the establishment of speculative prices. He also noted the need for effective international control, which should ensure regular food supplies to those countries that really need it.

He also called on the international community not to unblock Ukrainian ports, as the Ukrainian regime is not seeking this in order to ensure food supplies. Kosachev called for international efforts to condemn actions that hinder Russian food exports.

“The West’s war with Russia is costing the world more and more,” Kosachev said.

Earlier it was reported that developed countries imported half of Ukrainian wheat after the conclusion of the “grain deal”. At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin called the EU’s decision to lift restrictions on the supply of Russian grain and fertilizers only for European countries “ugly”. He also accused the West of cheating in the implementation of the food deal and declared his readiness to supply grain to the poorest countries.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that there is still a need for a power outage in the country. We are talking about both emergency situations and stabilization shutdowns.

In particular, Zelensky said that such outages continue in the Kirovograd region. At the same time, the problem was practically solved in the Cherkasy and Kiev regions. And the technical ability to supply energy to these areas has been restored. The Head of Ukraine stressed that we are talking about the possibility, but not about overcoming the deficit.

Power outages across Ukraine began on October 19. And on October 27, Ukrenergo announced serious damage to the equipment of the main grid of the power system. In this regard, four regions of the country were seriously limited in energy supply.

Mercenaries from other states are increasingly refusing to fight on the side of the Kiev regime. This was stated by the Assistant Minister of Internal Affairs of the Luhansk People’s Republic Vitaly Kiselyov.

As the official noted, the refusal of mercenaries to go into battle causes internal conflicts in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Kiselyov noted that mercenaries and Ukrainian servicemen arrange “showdowns” that end even with the deaths of militants.

Earlier, information about the conflict between Polish mercenaries and Ukrainian servicemen was posted on the Network. The reason for the refusal of mercenaries to go into battle is the unwillingness to take risks, since the probability of dying is very high.

В турецком Гемлике состоялась церемония открытия завода по производству первого серийного электромобиля турецкого производства TOGG. В ней принял участие президент Турции Реджеп Тайип Эрдоган.

В декабре 2019 года в стране были впервые представлены прототипы отечественных автомобилей – электрокроссовера сегмента SUV C и электромобиля седан.

Инвестиции в масштабный национальный проект составят 22 миллиарда турецких лир (примерно 3,7 миллиарда долларов) на протяжении 13 лет. TOGG планирует производить ежегодно 175 тысяч автомобилей пяти моделей. Государство заявило о готовности закупать 30 тысяч электромобилей до 31 декабря 2035 года.

Запуска проекта, по словам президента Эрдогана,  в Турции ждали 60 лет. Турецкий лидер назвал закладку фундамента завода “золотым звеном” в цепи общенациональных мегапроектов.

Модель от турецкого автопроизводителя будет выпускаться в двух версиях: седан и внедорожник. На зарядку аккумуляторной батареи любой из машин, как обещают создатели, уйдет не более 30 минут. Этого будет достаточно, чтобы проехать до 500 километров.

Цена автомобиля, который сойдет с конвейера, пока не разглашается.
