One side or the other must surrender. That will be the only end to this war.

Belgium lays out red lines on €140B Ukraine loan -
Brussels will fight against giving the ECB control and using the portfolio interest for loans to Ukraine because they are making very large spreads by investing and using for collateral these same funds while paying the portfolio money market peanuts. If it is transferred to the ECB, Brussels loses control and loses this spread pipeline.
The ECB / Commission is just trying to get these funds invested properly so the portfolio will gain real market-related returns instead of the Belgian shell game.

BRUSSELS — Belgium has laid out its red lines for using Russian assets to fund a €140 billion reparations loan to Ukraine, including an agreement by EU countries to share all current and future risks related to the plan for an amount exceeding €170 billion.
Among the EU’s 27 countries, Belgium has the most skin in the game as it hosts the financial depository, Euroclear, which holds the bulk of the Russian state assets that were frozen after the country’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The Belgian government fears it will be on the hook for any legal and financial claims filed by Russia and has been loudly calling for all EU countries to guarantee the loan, which effectively means using taxpayer money to cover any costs.
quote:
These include not supporting any measure that could be interpreted as asset confiscation; legally binding, strictly enforceable guarantees that European countries would share all current and future risks for both Euroclear and Belgium; and an agreement to immediately stump up the cash if Euroclear needs to return the assets to Russia, for example following a peace deal.
quote:
The [EU] Commission proposed using €175 billion in cash that has matured from frozen Russian state assets invested in Western government bonds to fund a €140 billion reparations loan to Ukraine and repay a previous G7 loan to the war-torn country.
The cash is currently sitting idle on deposit at the European Central Bank (ECB) under the stewardship of Euroclear.
quote:
De Wever also argued that the operation could prompt Chinese investors in particular to withdraw their deposits with Euroclear over fears that their reserves might also be seized in future.
In response to similar arguments, the senior [EU] Commission official suggested that “the only change we’re proposing for Euroclear is to invest [the cash deposits linked to the assets] not in the ECB but with [the EU Commission],” which enjoys a triple A rating.

Reports are emerging from Beijing claiming that Xi Jinping may have suffered a sudden stroke earlier today. The alleged incident has triggered emergency medical activity in the capital, with sources describing Xi’s condition as serious. Meanwhile, Premier Li Qiang has reportedly been ordered to cut short his visit to North Korea—a move widely seen as a key indicator of how grave the situation might be.

Russian attacks kill 6, injure 45 in Ukraine over past day, hit energy grid
October 10, 2025 2:01 pm
Russian attacks across Ukraine killed at least six civilians, including a child, and injured at least 45 over the past day, regional authorities reported on Oct. 10.
The attacks come amid Russia's intensifying aerial campaign targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of the winter months.
Russia launched 465 Shahed-type attack drones and decoy drones against Ukraine in a mass strike overnight, the Air Force reported.
Moscow's forces also deployed 32 missiles, including two Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, 14 Iskander-M or KN-23 ballistic missiles, 12 Iskander-K cruise missiles, and four Kh-59/69 aerial missiles.
Ukrainian air defenses reportedly intercepted 405 Russian drones and 15 missiles, while four missiles failed to reach their target. Thirteen missiles and 60 drones struck at 19 locations.
Twelve people were injured during a mass Russian attack on Kyiv, eight of whom were hospitalized, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. The strike damaged residential buildings and caused energy and water shortages in parts of the city.
Emergency power restrictions have been introduced elsewhere in Kyiv Oblast, as well as in the Poltava, Sumy, Donetsk, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kharkiv oblasts.
A 7-year-old child was killed and seven other people, including a first responder, were injured during a strike on Zaporizhzhia, Governor Ivan Fedorov said. A 40-year-old man was killed elsewhere in Zaporizhzhia Oblast on Oct. 9.
Five people were injured during overnight attacks on Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, according to Governor Serhii Lysak. A 68-year-old man was also injured in the region on Oct. 9.
In Donetsk Oblast, Russian attacks killed three civilians — two in Kostiantynivka and one in Sloviansk — and injured 11 others, according to Governor Vadym Filashkin.
One person was killed and six were injured in Kherson Oblast over the past day, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said. Nine houses, five multi-story buildings, a bank, a shop, a garage, and cars were damaged.
In Sumy Oblast, three civilians were injured in Russian attacks, local authorities reported.

US Senate approves $925 billion defense bill, proposes $500 million for Ukraine
October 10, 2025 3:46 pm
The U.S. Senate approved a defense budget bill for fiscal year 2026 totaling $925 billion, with security assistance to Ukraine proposed to increase to $500 million, the New York Times reported on Oct. 9.
The legislation reflects a $100 million increase over the House of Representatives' version and extends assistance to Ukraine through 2028, signaling ongoing congressional support for Kyiv.
The new funds were allocated under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), a Pentagon-led program that supplies arms to Ukraine through contracts with U.S. defense companies.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed an $890 billion defense policy bill on Sept. 10, allocating $400 million for Pentagon security assistance to Ukraine.
The Senate approved the legislation on Oct. 9, which funds the U.S. military at $925 billion in fiscal year 2026, after lawmakers reached a deal to unlock the stalled legislation.
The bill includes several key provisions supporting Ukraine and regional allies.
