Vladimir Putin agreed Wednesday to resume three-way peace talks on Ukraine, with a meeting set for around November 10, possibly in Abu Dhabi. |

The Pentagon’s Got Their Eye on This Tech
One of the biggest indicators for forward-thinking investors is where the US government puts their money. They move first on the technology they know is going to shape the future.
First, they bet big on jet engines. Then drones. Now? It’s flying cars. This August, the U.S. Air Force just signed a $142M deal for a flying car company building five-seater fleets. But our nation’s defense can’t stop there. Our nation’s most covert operations need smaller, personal aircrafts. And Doroni, the company positioned to lead the $100B personal eVTOL category, aims to capture this opportunity.
Their flying car, the H1-X, has been preordered by 600+ people. But beyond selling the H1-X to the general public, the company has named law enforcement and military use as future variants it's exploring.
And Doroni’s aircraft can open the skies to all members of the military. Their SOULAI platform is so intuitive, you can pilot their aircraft after 25 hours of training. While it’s capable of reaching speeds of 120 mph and traveling 100 miles on a single 25-minute charge, its patented ducted fan system is designed to be safer than competitors.
This is your chance to get in at the private stage. Become an early-stage Doroni investor today at $3.30/share and get up to 20% bonus shares.
