Lovely words from a colleague yesterday. “Sometimes it’s better to be kind than right.” No wonder she is in the top 10 in the company for customer feedback!

Today, we discussed the Kursk Operation with our military leadership, marking almost three months of active actions in the Kursk region. This is an important operation—we maintain this “buffer zone” in designated areas near our state border.

We must also recognize the value of the Kursk Operation in strengthening our “exchange fund,” which has significantly helped in freeing our people from Russian captivity. I thank all the soldiers, sergeants, and officers involved in our active efforts in the Kursk region.

There was also a separate report from the Main Intelligence Directorate and the Foreign Intelligence Service about North Korean military personnel present on Russian territory. Currently, there are already eleven thousand stationed in the Kursk region. We see an increase in North Korean forces, but, unfortunately, we do not see an increase in response from our partners.

I spoke with the Prime Minister of Canada. I’m grateful to @JustinTrudeau, his team, and everyone involved for successfully hosting the thematic conference on the fourth point of the Peace Formula, “Release of Prisoners and Deported Persons,” held in Montreal on October 30-31. The next step should be preparing a final document—the Peace Plan—summarizing the results of all thematic conferences.

On the sidelines of the conference, our delegation presented Justin with the Victory Plan, and today he reaffirmed his support for it.

We discussed further cooperation in organizing the Second Peace Summit and involving countries from the Global South in this effort. Additionally, the Prime Minister announced that Canada will be sending the first NASAMS air defense system it ordered for Ukraine. We expect to receive it by the end of this year.

We also discussed continued defense support for Ukraine, the situation on the battlefield, and particularly North Korea’s involvement in the war. We coordinated our cooperation in the framework of Canada’s upcoming G7 presidency next year.

If Donald Trump is elected:

The struggle against climate change is over.

Women will lose the right to control their own bodies.

We'll have no shot at raising the minimum wage.

Humanitarian aid will not reach starving people in Gaza.

Do not sit this election out.

Defending our warriors’ positions, creating the necessary conditions for combat operations, and supporting the movement of our units—these are just some of the tasks undertaken by our engineering forces.

These are the warriors who, in many ways, lay the foundation for the critical results Ukraine needs on the frontline.

I am grateful for their professionalism and courage, which empower Ukraine and our entire Defense and Security Forces to eliminate the occupier and defend our nation’s positions. Congratulations on the Day of the Engineering Troops of Ukraine.

Last night, Russia terrorized Ukraine with over 50 strike drones, and over the past week, it has used more than 900 bombs, around 30 missiles, and nearly 500 “Shaheds” against various regions of Ukraine.

Most of these strikes have targeted civilian and critical infrastructure.

All of these attacks would have been impossible if we had sufficient support from the world in crucial areas: long-range capabilities for our security, truly effective sanctions to prevent Russia from importing critical components for drone and missile production—especially microelectronics—and political decisions that could ruin Russia’s will to wage this war. Ukraine deserves the same strong security as all our partners in the free world.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Russia is gradually ramping up its daily attacks with Shahed drones and missiles, still using Western components to do so. In October alone, over 2,000 Shaheds were launched against Ukraine—almost every single day. Such a massive number of Shaheds requires over 170,000 individual components that should have been blocked from reaching Russia. They come from companies in China, Europe, and America—lots of small but constant contributions to Russia’s terror.

This ongoing supply chain highlights, yet again, the urgent need for the world to step up export controls on special components and resources. Russia must not be allowed to circumvent sanctions that were imposed long ago in response to this war.

Sanctions must increase and be effective. Every scheme to bypass sanctions is a crime against people and the world. These very schemes also enable Russia to strengthen regimes in Iran and North Korea. This is a global threat, and only global, unified pressure can overcome it.

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

This lady Natalia fell in action defending all of us from the russian genodical war. She was a mentor at the Ptashenia kindergarten, mom of a 13yo boy, and a long-time volunteer who decided to join the Defense Forces herself last summer. Two weeks ago, she brought her son for his dream vacation in Disneyland. This is too much of a pain. While your leaders think they are "managing" escalation, we're literally losing the best people of the free world.

We are living through a decade in which every year brings more deaths, more refugees, more democratic backsliding - and in which prudence and restraint is swept aside. We are losing peace, order and hope. This is on our watch. In our hands.

As planned, today we are heading home after completing all the necessary talks. Every discussion went exactly as needed. The Victory Plan has been presented to America, and we explained each point in detail. Now, our teams will work to implement every step and decision. Strong positions for Ukraine mean a quicker path to peace.

Everything crucial for Ukraine is on the table with our partners and under consideration—long-range capabilities, defense packages, sanctions against Russia, and measures regarding Russian assets. We have covered all these topics.

We are now preparing for the meeting in Germany within the framework of Ramstein, where we will move forward with our partners on the Victory Plan’s key points. I am grateful to President Biden for the invitation.

The most important focus remains the frontlines. We have done everything within our power to strengthen ourselves as much as possible. Now, together with our partners, we need to ensure exactly what will bring a just peace closer. Russia must lose this war. Ukraine must prevail. This is the real foundation for our shared security—peace through strength.

I am grateful to everyone who supports us.

This is getting silly now. Leave his kids out of it, and stop blowing things out of proportion. There is bad behaviour amongst some politicians, but this constant pearl clutching at everything undermines trust to an unjustified and dangerous extent. Try reporting some news.

.@PeteButtigieg: The Trump campaign wants to talk about anything but their actual record and agenda. Trump and Vance cannot afford for this to be about how Trump eliminated the right to choose. They don't want to be talking about the particulars of their health care plan because they don't have one. They have 'concepts of a plan'
