According to SWIFT data, the yuan has made a significant milestone by surpassing the euro to become the second major currency in global trade for the first time. The share of the Chinese currency in international payments saw a notable increase, rising from 4.82% in August 2023 to 5.8% in September. This marks the highest level in the past five years for which data is available.

However, it's important to note that the U.S. dollar still holds the top position, with its share in trade settlements increasing to 84.15% in September, up from 83.95% the previous month. This development reflects China's growing role in the global economy. 🌐💵🇨🇳🇪🇺

❗️The United States has vetoed a UN Security Council resolution for an Israeli-Palestinian truce, which included Russian amendments. Russia proposed adding clauses to the resolution submitted by Brazil, focusing on "unconditional condemnation of indiscriminate attacks on the civilian population and civilian objects in the Gaza Strip" and calling for an "immediate and permanent ceasefire."

The U.S. expressed disappointment that the resolution didn't acknowledge Israel's right to self-defense, stating that every nation, including Israel, has an inherent right to self-defense as per Article 51 of the UN Charter. They believed the resolution should have affirmed this right, especially considering past terrorist attacks by groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Following the vote, Russia's Deputy Ambassador Vasiliy Nebenzya indicated that countries opposing the amendments would bear responsibility for the consequences in the Middle East.

⚡️ISW: ATACMS long-range missiles threaten Russian rear ammunition depots.

The U.S.-provided Army Tactical Missiles Systems (ATACMS) will likely force the Russian command to choose between fortifying existing ammunition depots or further dispersing them throughout occupied parts of Ukraine, the Institute for the Study of War said in its latest update.

"The Russian military has consistently shown it can adapt to new Ukrainian strike capabilities — but only after suffering initial and pronounced losses from Ukrainian capabilities Russian commanders realistically should have prepared for," the ISW said.

An increasing trend in the failed launches from the Gaza Strip - The terrorist organization Hamas continues to place the citizens of the Gaza Strip as human shields and to use sensitive civilian compounds for military purposes.

Since the beginning of the fighting, the terrorist organization Hamas has been launching rocket barrages on a regular basis and using sensitive civilian compounds for military purposes.

The launches are carried out from compounds adjacent to buildings containing civilian populations, such as hospitals, UN schools, mosques, restaurants, diplomatic buildings, and hotels.

The terrorist organizations Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad shoot indiscriminately at Israel and also harm the residents of the Gaza Strip. In the last day, there has been an increase in the number of failed launches that hit the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the terrorist organization Hamas continues to use the residents of the Gaza Strip as human shields, and does not hesitate to risk their lives to cover up its attacks.

Their lifeless bodies were discovered amidst the rubble. Remarkably, Danylo and Diana had married just a year ago, with their engagement taking place in a bomb shelter. Their loved ones remember them for their deep appreciation of each moment, as they were acutely aware that the uncertainty of war could separate them at any time.
