day 198 of war in Ukraine.

The intervention of Vladimir Putin This Wednesday at the VII Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, it was shown that none of the actions already carried out or even those planned by the West to try to stop its ambitions in Ukraine succeed. He spoke threateningly and, according to precedent, when Putin threatens, he complies.

At the forum, he announced his intention to limit the destinations of ships exporting Ukrainian grain to the benefit of “the poorest countries” and to the detriment of Europe. In addition, he warned that Russia will cut off oil, gas and coal and break contracts with Brussels if it ends up capping prices. He also proposed holding annexation referendums in the occupied territories on November 4 and, as a ‘tip’, linked Joseph Borrell with “the coup plotters of the 1930s” in Spain.

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, continues to give good news about the counteroffensive in the south. In his last message to his compatriots, he referred to “slow but significant progress”, specifying that local troops have recovered new settlements in the Kharkov region.
