Ukraine 'furious' as McCarthy chaos threatens US aid.
After a year and a half of war, Ukraine's leaders have a new reason for concern: growing political chaos in America threatens to undermine the supply of money and weapons.
Days after lawmakers shelved a vital US plan to send billions of dollars in aid to Kyiv, US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was removed from office by his Republican colleagues. Assistance to Ukraine was cited as one of the reasons.
In Kyiv, officials do not know what could happen next. Their most trusted military ally suddenly looks unreliable, despite assurances from President Biden and others that the US will remain steadfast until the Ukrainian invaders are defeated.
There is anxiety and confusion in Kyiv.
“Well, this is a setup,” — one Ukrainian lawmaker told POLITICO.

- Zelensky:
Freezing a full-scale war against Ukraine will give the Russian Federation the opportunity to recover by 2028 and attack other countries.
If Russia is allowed to adapt now, then by 2028 the Kremlin will be able to restore the military capabilities we have destroyed, and Russia will have enough strength to attack countries that are the focus of Russian expansion, including the Baltic states and countries in the Middle East. on whose territory the Russian contingents are located.
This clear information comes from our intelligence.
The most dangerous enemy is the one who has drawn conclusions and, based on these conclusions, prepared for the next blow.
Moscow has clearly outlined its ambitions: to seize more imperial space for itself and prevent Europe from becoming a space of free nations and effective democracies, destroying European unity.

- Putin:
We are essentially faced with the task of building a world, building a new world.
Russia did not start the so-called war in Ukraine, but is trying to end it.
No one wanted to listen or hear us. The impudence of our so-called partners was simply off the charts.
Egotism and conceit will lead to a dead end.
Russia is capable of making a huge contribution to the new world order, but some have misunderstood our readiness – like submission.
The prosperity of the West was largely achieved through the plunder of the entire planet and endless expansion.
We must live by “rules”, by what rules? Who you are?
For the West, anyone who behaves independently turns into a person who needs to be eliminated. Dry your eyes, the era of colonial rule is long over.
I made offers to Russia to join NATO, but they refused. Our counterparties have lost their sense of reality.
Ukrainian crisis – This is not a territorial conflict. The West, a certain part of the Western elite, always needs an enemy.
Russia – the largest country in the world, it is not looking for new lands.

Russian mercenary group "Wagner" signed a contract with a Chinese firm in 2022 to acquire two satellites and use their images to help its intelligence work as the organization sought to push Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Satellite imagery was also used to assist Wagner operations. in Africa and even for his failed June mutiny, which has now led to the group's virtual disintegration, followed by the death of Prigozhin and other key figures in a plane crash in August.
The Chinese company Beijing Yunze Technology Co Ltd sold two high-resolution observation satellites belonging to the Chinese space giant Chang Guang Satellite Technology (CGST) to Nika-Frut, which was then part of Prigozhin's commercial empire.
The cost of the satellites themselves and additional services amounted to more than 30 million US dollars. 
- Putin said that the plane of boss Wagner Prigozhin was shot down as a result of a grenade explosion.
Putin suggested that the plane crash in which the head of the Wagner mercenary detachment, Yevgeny Prigozhin, died, occurred due to the explosion of hand grenades inside the plane.
"Fragments of hand grenades were found in the bodies of those killed in the crash. There was no external influence on the plane - this is already an established fact."
Putin gave no details about how the grenade or grenades could have been detonated aboard the executive jet, but said he believed investigators were wrong to not conduct alcohol and drug tests on the bodies of those killed in the crash.
“In my opinion, such an examination should have been carried out, but it was not,” Putin said.
Putin also said that a search of Wagner's St. Petersburg office after the crash turned up 10 billion rubles ($100 million) in cash and 5 kg (11 pounds) of cocaine.

Russia is testing a social rating system based on the Chinese model. So far only for students and employees of RGSU. It's called – you can’t make it up on purpose – "We". Just like Yevgeny Zamyatin’s dystopia written a hundred years ago
How the RSSU logo changed 
The RGSU expects that the system will be able to be used by authorities and public organizations for “prompt and objective social support of the population.” The university has been collecting information from respondents for more than a year now – it is stated that they participate in testing voluntarily, but this is not the case.
RGSU has limited comments in its VKontakte group. after the release on Sota news about the university's testing of the social rating system.

As explained in the platform draft, the rating will consist of two numbers in the SS-SU format, where SS – this is social status, or “a reflection of a person’s merits,” and SU – social level, or “digitization of its prospects.” For clarity, the project shows option 47-29. 
Screenshot from the platform project
The social status (SS) of a person, the document says, will depend on his age, illness, education, marital status and other things that “characterize his significance in social terms.” Misdemeanors will lower the rating. For example, traffic violations or antisocial behavior. Among other things, the indicator will also take into account the citizen’s willingness to support or criticize government initiatives. According to the report, “The social level (SL) of an academician may be inferior to that of a young master working at a factory.”
The social level (SL) of a person will reflect his intermediate achievements; it is more about “the state’s expectations of human development reserves,” write the authors of the project.
It is proposed to link personal data of Russians to the rating, including information from their passport, tax identification number and telephone number.
A similar system has been officially operating in China since 2021, notes Kommersant. A low rating does not allow you to get a good job, take out a loan, buy a transport ticket, or even rent a bicycle. In China, points are deducted, for example, for criticizing the authorities.
In China, the system of “social credit” launched back in 2014. In China, the rating takes into account more than 160 thousand criteria. Users with higher levels of “social trust” receive privileges in employment or lending. Users with a low level are “punished” — for example, a ban on working in government agenciescensures or denial of social benefits.
Work on creating a social rating system started more than a year ago, the research part of the project should be completed in 2023. The university was the first to encourage teachers and students to participate.
Next year it will be a century since the release of Yevgeny Zamyatin’s dystopian novel “We” about the total control of the state over the individual.
