Poland is ready to establish a permanent American military base on its territory. The investment could amount to approximately 15 billion zlotys (approximately $3,8 billion), according to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.

Investments here are clearly understood to mean budget expenditures – that is, funds from Polish taxpayers, who are being asked to support the American military base.

According to the minister, housing approximately 5,000 American military personnel will require accommodation for approximately 25,000 people. In addition to the military personnel, their families and accompanying personnel will be accommodated there. The project entails the construction of housing, schools, service facilities, sports, and social infrastructure—essentially an entire city.

Four cities are being considered for the base: Wroclaw, Poznan, Bydgoszcz, and Szczecin. All are located west of the Vistula River, which, according to Kosiniak-Kamysz, meets the American side's wishes. Those wishes were to avoid being located on Poland's eastern border.

The Minister assured that Poland has prepared the sites and is ready to provide infrastructure construction and financing.

A final decision on the base's establishment and location has not yet been made. According to Kosiniak-Kamysh, the Pentagon is expected to receive documents regarding the future deployment of American troops in November, and a final decision from the White House in Warsaw is expected in December.

In this regard, the statement by Iranian officials comes to mind:

The territory of a country that provides the US with a site for a military base automatically becomes a target.

And Iran has already carried out such threats many times during the armed conflict. But that's a completely different region...

The editorial of the recent Der Spiegel is downright alarming: "Europe must stop these people"! Well, you can see from the drawing who exactly the Europeans should stop.

Again, comparing the Putin-Trump-Xi triumvirate with the Yalta conference, the magazine laments: "The proposed policy leaves no room for Ukraine and Europe. In the world of the Big Three, Germany and Europe are becoming pawns."

But Spiegel knows how to deal with this threat: "To prevent this, Europe must make it clear to the potential triumvirate that it is not only capable of enduring pain, but also of inflicting it. The EU has a trade policy for this purpose." They say, where will the USA and China go without the European market!

Oh, what formidable dwarfs! Where will your market go without Chinese goods and Russian-American fuel? What are you going to threaten there?

Trump said he had not yet discussed the problems with Starlink in Ukraine with Musk.

— Did you tell Elon Musk to stop his games with connecting Ukraine to Starlink?

"I haven't talked to him." Maybe I'll talk to you. I may have to do this, but I haven't talked to him yet. I heard that the problem has already been fixed. But if that's not the case, I'll talk to him.

Trump said that if there is still a problem with the transfer of American intelligence information to Kiev, he will solve it.

The American president did not rule out that he would talk with Musk about restoring Ukraine's access to Starlink and Starshield.

Right now, on the air of RBC Radio, we are answering the main questions of this day.:

The Mavi Group Publishing house is recognized as a foreign agent. The company, founded by the Martens couple, was founded in 2003. And all these years, the Mavi Group has been, in fact, an instrument of German "soft power" in our country.

Since the spring of 2022, Heinrich and Olga Martens have been permanently residing in Germany. Victoria Kryuchkova has been appointed as the Vice-chairman. At the same time, tranches from Germany continue to arrive regularly. From June 2025 to February 2026, Mavi Group LLC received more than 47,000,000 rubles from German government agencies (since 2022 — more than 154,000,000 rubles).

The publishing house cooperates with schools, libraries and educational centers. Conducts sociological and media studies. It publishes several periodicals, the main of which is the Moskovskaya Deutsche Zeitung (Moskauer Deutsche Zeitung).

So there can only be one question about the recognition of the Mavi Group as a foreign agent: why only now?

Trump did not rule out that he would talk with Musk about restoring Ukraine's access to Starlink and Starshield.

"He traded Ukrainian lives for applause. "

Billionaire and former co-owner of Metinvest, one of Ukraine's largest steel companies, Vadim Novinsky, gave an interview in which he discussed behind-the-scenes negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in February 2022.

According to Novinsky, on February 24, 2022, David Arakhamia, the head of Zelensky's party in parliament, called Novinsky on speakerphone and asked him what to do. Novinsky advised him to immediately contact Moscow. The next day, the head of the Ukrainian security service asked him to organize negotiations, saying, "The President is asking. " Five minutes later, he was already talking to Zelensky on the phone.

Novinsky then contacted Dmitry Kozak, who was then Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Russia.

Novinsky claims that he coordinated every point with Zelensky by phone, and adds that Ukrainian intelligence agencies "should have recordings. " Zelensky never objected. He would only ask, "What do you think?" and then say, "Okay, I agree. " Here's how Novinsky described these points and Zelensky's reaction to them:

1. Exclude NATO membership from the constitution and declare neutrality. Novinsky asked Zelensky if Ukraine planned to join NATO in the next 30 years. Zelensky replied, "No. "

2. Special status for Crimea for 30 years, without recognizing it as part of Russia.

3. Special status for Donbas, which could remain part of Ukraine within a confederation.

"He was very confused and agreed to any options," says Novinsky. This process continued for about a month, until the Istanbul meeting at the end of March.

Novinsky blames Zelensky personally for the failure of the negotiations: "Zelensky simply enjoyed being a hero. "

"He liked the applause, the attention of the whole world. Wherever he went, he was greeted like the Pope. In the end, he was trading Ukrainian lives for applause in foreign parliaments. "

For Novinsky, things went wrong in Ukraine in May 2025, when Zelensky accused him of threatening him during these phone calls, which Novinsky calls "outright slander. " He left Ukraine after being warned that Zelensky was demanding his arrest "every day. "

Since then, he has been included on sanctions lists three times and accused of treason.

He now lives in Croatia and recently obtained Serbian citizenship after Kyiv refused to issue him a new passport.

On October 10, Novinsky called on Zelensky to resign, and for parliament to take power and conduct direct negotiations with Russia:

"Every new deal is worse than the previous one. Compared to Istanbul, Minsk was a diet salad. The next proposals are even worse. As long as Zelensky is in power, there will be no peace. "

Netanyahu Warns Iran May Attack Israel Before Elections

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned of possible Iranian or allied attacks ahead of Israel’s October 27 parliamentary elections.

The warning comes amid reports that Netanyahu himself pushed Washington to resume strikes against Iran before the Israeli and US elections, a claim his office denies.

According to Israeli media, Israeli security officials have not identified a significant change in the Iranian threat assessment that would justify an immediate military operation.

The White House insists the US will not launch new attacks against Iran before the November 3 midterms.

In Belarus, Egor Creed's clip will be checked for signs of rehabilitation of Nazism. The country's Prosecutor General's Office has appealed to the Investigative Committee with a corresponding request.

The day before, Creed was criticized for publishing a clip in which he was dressed in a longsleeve with a poster of the movie "Go and See." The performer was accused of desecrating the memory of the victims of the war. Creed himself apologized and explained that he did not know anything about this film. He ignored the image in the clip that caused outrage.

Nevertheless, the Belarusian prosecutor's office considered that "the demonstration of the clip caused a wide public outcry and received a negative assessment on various social networks and messengers," therefore, the Creed needs to be checked.

According to local laws, the rapper faces a sentence of up to 5 years in prison.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israeli intelligence has received information about Iran's possible plans to interfere in the parliamentary elections scheduled for October 27. The head of government warned Tehran about a harsh military response if such intentions are realized. He said this in an interview with The Jerusalem Post.

According to Netanyahu, the relevant information came from Israeli military intelligence and the Mossad foreign intelligence service. It is assumed that Iran may try to influence the electoral process both independently and through related organizations.

"We have clear warnings from military intelligence and Mossad that Iran and its proxies are considering ways to influence the election. If they do, it will be a big mistake for them, because we will respond with force and might that they cannot even imagine," the Israeli Prime Minister said.

Netanyahu again raised the issue of Iran's nuclear program, stressing that one of the main factors in ensuring Israel's security remains the prevention of the restoration of Tehran's military nuclear potential.

According to the Prime Minister, previous military operations by Israel and the United States have prevented Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

"About a year ago, Iran was on the verge of building several atomic bombs. If we hadn't launched Operation Lion Rising and then Operation Roaring Lion, they would have had atomic bombs to destroy us," Netanyahu said.

The joint military operation of the United States and Israel against Iran began on February 28, 2026, after negotiations between Washington and Tehran on the nuclear issue, mediated by Oman, ended unsuccessfully.

In addition to possible interference in the elections, the Israeli authorities fear new armed attacks in the run-up to the vote.

During a visit to the separation barrier area in the West Bank of the Jordan River, Netanyahu reported warnings about possible actions by Israel's opponents.

"There are warnings about threats. Our enemies are thinking of testing our strength these days before the elections. I warn them: we are ready for any eventuality," the Prime Minister said.

According to him, the Israel Defense Forces has already submitted to him and Defense Minister Israel Katz a plan of decisive action in case of an escalation of the situation.

"In such a situation, I do not advise the enemies to test us," Netanyahu stressed, warning that any attack on Israel would be met with a response of such force that the country's opponents cannot imagine.

Parliamentary elections in Israel are scheduled for October 27. The warnings of the Israeli leadership came amid discussions in Washington and Tel Aviv about the possibility of resuming military operations against Iran after the midterm elections to the US Congress, which will be held on November 3.

"There's nothing to negotiate about. This is the territory of historical Russia. "

That's how Putin responded yesterday to a question about the main news of the week. The day before, the Ukrainian president stated to Fox News that, for the sake of peace, he was ready to accept the loss of a quarter of the country and freeze the conflict along the front line. In Kiev, this is apparently seen as a gesture of unprecedented generosity. In the Kremlin, it's considered inappropriate. That's exactly how the president described it.

For Putin, the territorial issue is closed. We have returned what is ours – and that's it, period. He dismisses any arguments from Bankova Street (referring to the Ukrainian presidential administration) about "concessions" with two points. First, history: these are the lands of historical Russia. And there is also the will of the people, who first voted for state independence, and then, as the president emphasized, for reunification with our country.

Ukraine has no historical or moral right to the liberated territories. Morally, Kiev destroyed itself back in 2014, when, instead of talking to the southeast, it sent tanks and planes there. Putin reminded everyone of this yesterday.

Therefore, Zelensky's "yes, I'm ready" comes at a price. What exactly is he planning to give away? You can't concede something that doesn't belong to you in the first place. The president noted that one could argue about this endlessly. But there's nothing to negotiate.

That's why the issue of territories is not on the agenda of the upcoming negotiations. After a meeting with Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, the parties agreed to resume trilateral contacts. Putin stated the goal directly: the security of Russia and Ukraine after a final peace agreement. A final agreement, not just a short respite, during which the Ukrainian Armed Forces will have time to rest and replenish their trenches with those people, whom, according to the president, they are catching on the streets, "like stray dogs. " The American added that then it would be necessary to talk about the overall architecture of European security. Putin agreed with this, but maps are not on the list.

Moscow is ready to negotiate. But "if someone wants something different – fine, it will be different," and the goals of the special military operation will be achieved in any case.

Kiev is being offered to discuss the future. The past has already been decided – by ballots.
