Russian manufacturers and traitors: Zelensky imposes new sanctions

"President Zelensky signed two decrees enacting new decisions by the National Security and Defense Council on "applying personal special economic and other restrictive measures (sanctions)". "We are continuing our sanctions work – today, two new sanction packages were introduced. 
One targets those who have betrayed Ukraine, while the other focuses on military production in Russia – both legal entities and individuals working for terrorism.
Among the legal entities sanctioned by the National Security and Defense Council are Russian and Chinese companies, including the state corporation Rostec."

Earthquake in Iran Fuels Speculation of an Iranian Nuclear Test

"According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a 4.6 magnitude earthquake struck Iran on October 5 with its epicenter in Aradan, Semnan province, at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers.
Almost immediately social media wags began speculating that the underground quake was Iran's first nuclear test.
A second temblor was felt a few minutes later underneath Israel. One poster on X wrote, “That Iranian earthquake really scared Israel. They're blubbering on whether they'll attack Iran. Looks like the secret is having nukes. No country will mess with a nuclear power.” Iran is less than two weeks away from having enough highly enriched uranium to build about five bombs. That doesn't mean that Iran will have a bomb in two weeks. It has to create a workable design for a bomb, test it, and then learn how to mount a warhead on one of its missiles." PJMedia

Zelensky cancels November ‘peace summit’

"Ukraine is no longer planning to hold a second peace conference on ending hostilities with Russia, a senior aide to Vladimir Zelensky has said. The meeting had been scheduled for
November.

Zelensky held an ambitiously-named ‘peace summit’ in June at the Swiss resort of Luzerne, where he sought support for his ‘peace formula’ – a ten-point wishlist that Moscow had rejected as delusional. The event, to which Russia was not invited, was widely seen as a failure.
The Second Peace Summit will not take place in November,” senior presidential aide Darya Zarivna told the media." RT
