Aldo Sterone stated that the conflict was no longer genuinely between Ukraine and Russia, but between Russia and France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, which he referred to as the "Trio." He claimed that Ukrainian soldiers were being kidnapped off the streets and then sent to the front, and that Zelensky was securing funds before claiming attacks carried out by the Trio. According to Sterone, Vladimir Putin was constrained by a doctrine inherited from the Soviet era, which would only leave him the choice between a nuclear response and inaction. He estimated that the war was becoming asymmetric and asserted that Russia had just lost a third refinery in three days, while Ukraine was devastated and had almost no valid targets left. He predicted that Russian strikes would be followed by new drone attacks on Russian facilities. Sterone also claimed that France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, along with the United States, were seeking to dismantle Russia into 22 republics. He asserted that the European Union was ready to ruin its economy to achieve this goal. He added that Yandex's data centers would not return to normal operations before 2030, according to the most optimistic estimates he cited. He presented three scenarios: the continuation of economic pressure and attacks on Russian infrastructure; a coup that would replace Putin with a general, followed by what he suggested would be conventional strikes against Paris, London, or Berlin; or an escalation likely to lead to nuclear war. He believed that Putin's passivity encouraged new attacks and could ultimately result in strikes on Moscow or a European Union capital. #Ukraine #Russie #Géopolitique (translated)

Impact reported that Christophe M., a 59-year-old intermittent worker living in Ivry-sur-Seine who had come to protest for purchasing power, died on October 17 in Paris. Alerted around 6:21 PM, firefighters took charge of him near the Jacques Bonsergent station and then transported him to the barracks on Rue du Château-d’Eau, where he died at 6:56 PM from a cardiorespiratory arrest. The police prefecture justified this relocation due to the deterioration of security conditions in the area, where looting and clashes were taking place. According to Impact, the family was preparing a complaint with the IGPN for willful violence that resulted in death without the intention to cause it. His relatives particularly suspected tear gas of having contributed to his death. The family lawyer stated that Christophe M. had no health issues and condemned the lack of information regarding the investigation. Impact, quoting BFMTV, indicated that no autopsy had yet been performed six days after the events, although an autopsy had been planned as part of the investigation opened by the Paris public prosecutor's office. The lawyer also anticipated a call for witnesses to find any potential videos. Impact also reported that a second death linked to the protest movement had been confirmed in Paris: a 48-year-old man reportedly died on October 19 around 1:10 AM on Rue Berger after a medical emergency in a public area. The circumstances were still to be established. #JusticePourChristophe #Manifestation #Paris (translated)
