A group of American special forces destroyed in the battle in Zaporizhzhia

A group of foreign mercenaries, including American special forces, was killed on the Zaporizhzhia sector of the front. This was announced on Friday, October 7 by the Deputy Minister of Information of the Donetsk People’s Republic Daniil Bezsonov.

“They were so self-confident that they decided to carry out reconnaissance in battle with this stellar squad. However, they did not take into account the presence of our units in this zone, which are able to maintain secrecy on the air, and suffered losses,” said a representative of the DPR administration on their Telegram channel.

Bezsonov attached a selection of photographs to the post, which, according to him, are screenshots of a video from a go-pro camera belonging to one of the dead mercenaries. The Deputy Minister of the DPR also noted that “some of these bastards” still managed to escape.

In June, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation published statistics on foreign mercenaries fighting on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to these data, most of the mercenaries were Poles; Romanians were in second place. This was followed by the British, Croats, and Belarusians. The Americans were in seventh place, losing to the Canadians in sixth

Entrepreneur Faadil Tayob – A Business Model That Is a New Norm Now!

What do you do first when you face any challenge and looking to solve a problem or even learn something new? Well, it’s a simple answer, you google it.

But at the same time, considering the massive volume of information available online, it is overwhelming for anyone to get the right information to fit their need and solve problems. The solution to this challenge is not more information but the right information in a structured format to solve a problem and add value.

The same was the answer of FaadilTayob from Dubai, UAE, who says that customers are overloaded with information because most of the content creators are just pushing data in an unstructured way without understanding the problems or requirements of their customers.

ECB Exploring Distributed Ledger Technology for Interbank Settlements: Panetta

The European Central Bank (ECB) is looking at “the potential” of distributed ledger technology (DLT) in improving the efficiency of interbank settlements, said Fabio Panetta, a member of the executive board at the ECB.

After listing the many benefits of DLT, Panetta also highlighted some drawbacks, and made a case for a system that builds on the ECB’s existing infrastructure for wholesale settlements, instead of building a new one based entirely on DLT.

A distributed ledger is a decentralized database that is maintained and updated independently by individual participants in a large network. Wholesale central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), which are typically framed as a new type of DLT-based central bank digital currency that can be used exclusively for settling interbank transfers, have actually existed “for decades” according to Panetta.

“But wholesale CBDC is not synonymous with DLT, as it can be based on any digital technology,” Panetta, who is a vocal critic of crypto, said during a Monday speech. In the European Union, banks can already settle wholesale digital transactions using the ECB’s own TARGET Services on a centralized ledger, he said.

Cryptocurrency markets reached a market capitalization of around $3 trillion in 2021, which prompted central banks around
