- Germany is not an ally of Ukraine, said German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.
"We do what we can. The same goes for almost all other allies and partners. But Germany is not an ally of Ukraine and, therefore, is not part of any alliance." 
- On Tuesday, the United States and Sweden signed an agreement on defense cooperation.
Under this agreement, Washington will have access to 17 military installations in the kingdom.

- The Pentagon and defense industry partners have provided Ukraine with technology to produce FrankenSAM hybrid air defense systems, which are produced using Ukraine's legacy air defense systems by integrating certain Western equipment.
The FrankenSAM program combines modern Western caliber surface-to-air missiles with modernized launchers or Soviet-era radars that Ukrainian forces already have on hand.
Two versions of this improvised air defense system - one with Soviet Buk launchers and American Sea Sparrow missiles, the other with Soviet-era radars and American Sidewinder missiles - have been tested in recent years several months at military bases in the United States and are destined to be delivered to Ukraine this fall.
The program's origins date back to late last year, when Ukrainian officials asked allies to help them find missiles for about 60 Soviet-era Buk launchers and radars that lay idle in Kyiv's arsenal.
Realizing that the West would have difficulty obtaining Russian-made ammunition for the Buk systems, the Ukrainians instead proposed converting the launchers to use NATO-caliber anti-aircraft missiles donated by the United States.

- Map allx approximate routes of Russian aviation attacks on Ukraine from September 6 to November 3.
Shahed-136 kamikaze UAVs often attack river beds, roads and regional borders.
There is logic in this: you can fly low over the river and unnoticed by air defense radars; Above the road, the noise of martyrs merges with the noise of cars.
But one thing is clear on the map of Shahid’s attacks: many of them are flying from Crimea.
Looking at the map, one conclusion suggests itself: Ukraine cannot feel secure until it controls Crimea. 
- The tanker AVENCA (IMO 9410002) of the German company CST delivered 50 thousand tons of Russian oil products to the US Navy base in Norfolk by direct transport from Novorossiysk.

The base has ammunition depots, oil storage facilities and loading and unloading infrastructure.
