The interlocutor close to President Zelensky, added that negotiating with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner is now “hopeless, they only think about business.” Dmitriev plans to invite representatives of the Alternative for Germany to an economic forum in Moscow in December.

🇺🇸❗️Behind Trump’s turn towards Russia are promises of lucrative deals from Dmitriev, - Le Monde On October 9, Witkoff preferred to talk about business. Budanov was stunned by the project, which would make Kyiv dependent on Moscow. “Our model is not Belarus, but Poland!”, he objected.

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

🇺🇸 Trump Jr. went hunting in Mongolia with Putin-linked Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, the FT reports. They avoided photos together. The US Embassy spent $18,715 on hotels for a Secret Service visit during the same period – possibly to protect Trump Jr. on his private trip.

Putin has been in power for 20 years longer than Zelensky

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Russia is not winning

Remember when Ted Cruz and other Republicans swooned over Russian military ads to mock Biden and our “woke” troops? An estimated 1.5 million Russian casualties later, Ukraine is still standing. Turns out cosplay tough isn’t real tough

It is reported that this evening the Russians struck Kyiv with ballistic missiles. The strikes hit a university campus, a park, and residential buildings. The strike hit a crowded area with no nearby military targets.

This is straight from Moscow regime book.

And that is US failure that Trump has caused.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Finland and Austria have seized $500 million worth of Russian real estate following a lawsuit by Ukraine. www.wsj.com/world/russia...

I believe this will work.

El-Sayed: "My name and my faith are not the reason you can't afford your gas. My name and my faith are not the reason you can't afford your groceries. My name and my faith are not the reason you can't see a doctor."

There's a pretty big gulf between the vibes and the polls right now. Hard to know which is a more accurate view of reality. www.thebulwark.com/p/whos-right...

Vučić and especially his network behind him were essentiell for Russia's meddling into Serbia. Vučić also had a rather close relationship with associates of Trump. Grenell and Jared Kushner were in the Serbian capital, discussing "infrastructure" projects.

6 months after Orban's election defeat another Putin supporter is exiting. Serbia's Aleksandar Vučić decisively lost the elections last night, after being 14 years in power. The opposition of teachers and students will take the lead.

❗️“At the moment, we have received nothing. The sanctions were lifted. No one has provided us with additional Patriot missiles. Instead of expanding access to Starlink, they reduced the speed of what we already had. That’s why we reacted. We are fighting for our lives,” — Zelenskyy

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: A decade ago, Daniel Barenboim put out an album of himself just having a blast with his new piano that he helped design. I'm not convinced that the instrument sounds great on all the tracks, but for this famous sonata by Scarlatti, it shines. See you around.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Vivek Ramaswamy’s “malicious” ad featuring Amy Acton’s mother shows how “every institution takes on the character of its leader,” writes our columnist David French.

The electoral map is changing, and with the unreliability of the Midwest, @lauren-egan.bsky.social says Democrats are looking at different states they could flip, including Mississippi: “ This is somewhere that Democrats are going to try and be competitive long term.”

NEW: Iowa. Ohio. Texas. Kansas. Democrats see opportunities this November in states Trump won three times. Whether those openings carry over to 2028 depends partly on what the party builds now. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-a-blo...

Ukraine is taking back territory, and Trump is trying to bail out Putin — the one assignment he has always taken seriously. (Note: this essay by Phillips O'Brien is from last week. See his page for this week's update as well) phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...

🇺🇦 Ukraine will not agree to neutrality and a limited army. These are red lines, — Zelensky ​ 🇨🇦 Canadian Telesat plans to provide Ukraine with an alternative to Starlink by starting to create its own low-orbit satellite network, Lightspeed, which will start operating in 2028.

Wtf is he saying? Seriously. "Remove any strain of the white and blue part in his blood"? What the f*ck is that?

Trump knows his voters very well. Many of them vote for him precisely because of that.

Keep in mind that Norway's GDP per capita is at least 5-10% higher than US GDP per capita.

Serbia finally got rid of Vučić, just like Hungary got rid of Orbán a few months ago. It's always encouraging to see, especially as both were supported by both the Kremlin and the White House, and still lost pathetically

How is Donald Trump’s criticism of President Zelensky interpreted in Moscow? “As a mandate to continue military pressure,” writes one Russian paper. I ask Muscovites to name one word that’s important to them & read what Russian schoolkids are taught about “defence of the Motherland.” #ReadingRussia

With Ukrainian flags in their hands and tears in their eyes, residents in Kharkiv region greeted a returning Mi-24 helicopter. Pilot “Air Davy” filmed the moment as his aircraft came back from a combat mission. #Ukraine

Donald Trump has abandoned the Western order, turning America into a Russian ally, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues: theatln.tc/fC0XMlGu

Moment of attack in Yelets, Russia. A minimum of 3 Storm Shadow / SCALP-EG cruise missiles struck the Energia plant. The facility works for Russia’s military-industrial sector and produces batteries and power sources used in missile systems, aircraft and other military equipment. #Russia

I voted yesterday at our local community center. There aren't competitive races in our CD or state (VA), but fwiw turnout seemed robust, voters energized and eager. In the sewer of Trump's smears and Elon's money, voting is the great disinfectant.

He should never, ever, escape this. It should follow him around for the rest of his days.

❗️🇺🇸🇨🇳 "Organizational preparations for the trilateral summit of Putin, Xi Jinping and Trump have already begun," - said Ushakov. Russian dictator's aide also said that the possibility of Putin's visit to December G20 summit in Miami will depend on results of APEC summit on November 18-19 in China.

🇺🇦😎 Ukrainian defenders capture four Russian soldiers right in the gas pipeline on the Kupyansk direction of the front, Kharkiv region.

To date, Germany has delivered 11 IRIS-T SLM fire units to Ukraine, each (so far) including three IRIS-T SLM launchers, two IRIS-T SLS launchers, a TRML-4D air surveillance radar and a TOC. They are supplemented by support elements such as a workshop, spare parts, reloading and logistical vehicles.

Today, Ukraine's 11th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade has shared new footage of at least two IRIS-T SLM fire units in their service. Shown were two IRIS-T SLM launchers and one IRIS-T SLS launcher, the latter of which has 33 Shahed/Geran interceptions painted on. /164

Moscow regime escalated attacks against Europe. It seems like Europe responded the right way and provided missiles for long range strikes. Very good.

It is possible that the rumors relating to a new batch of European-made Stormshadow / SCALP EG missiles to Ukraine might be true.

Донеччина була, є і буде українською. Ми ще піднімемо синьо-жовтий над кожним звільненим містом!

The Kremlin wants the world to forget who started the war. On 24 February 2022, Putin ordered an unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine, unleashing the largest war in Europe since the Second World War. The war was not ‘forced upon’ Russia. Russia chose to invade.
