Anna wrote that Putin had tried to extract as much as possible from Donald Trump during the time leading up to the US midterm elections on November 3, and that the Kremlin was using this phase on a daily basis according to her assessment. She reported a proposal for a meeting between Putin, Trump, and Xi Jinping on November 18 and 19 in Shenzhen, on the sidelines of the APEC summit. According to the Wall Street Journal, cited by Anna, it was supposed to be about ending the war on Moscow's terms. Volodymyr Zelensky would not have been there, as Putin did not want him at the table. The idea for the summit had come from Putin during a phone call with Trump on October 9, Anna wrote. During the same conversation, a diesel deal was also agreed upon. Subsequently, Trump signed an order suspending key sanctions against Moscow. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that a meeting was being discussed. A senior US official said, according to Anna, that Trump had not yet committed but found the idea somewhat appealing. Anna referred to Reuters, the Wall Street Journal, and Forbes as sources and wrote that Putin was setting the pace for the summit. #Putin #Trump #Kreml (translated)

Regina Laska criticized that Donald Trump once again accused Volodymyr Zelensky of not wanting to end the war. According to Laska, Trump overlooked that Vladimir Putin has been bombing Ukraine for four and a half years. Instead, Trump is concerned about Russian refineries, US diesel prices, and Putin's feelings, she wrote. Citing the Wall Street Journal, Laska reported that Putin proposed a meeting between Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, possibly in November in Shenzhen. The meeting would be about the future of Ukraine, which, like Europe, would not be invited. The Kremlin has confirmed that the proposal is being discussed; Trump has not yet agreed. However, a senior US government representative believes he is open to it, according to Laska. A source from the Wall Street Journal described Putin's proposal as a "second Yalta." Laska compared the proposal to the 1945 conference, where Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill negotiated Europe's post-war order while the affected countries were not at the table. Putin's plan envisions a negotiation between the aggressor and the great powers regarding the fate of the victim – without European involvement. She urged Europe to discuss possible political and economic leverage. China is reliant on the European market, Ukraine is fighting with weapons that are largely financed by Europe, and the majority of frozen Russian central bank assets are held in Europe, she wrote. Laska argued that Europe must thwart the plan before it turns into a summit and warned that those who are not given a seat at such negotiations could end up being the subject of the agreements. #Trump #Putin #Ukraine (translated)

Daniele Ganser wrote that Chancellor Friedrich Merz is putting Germany in danger of war by supporting and co-financing Ukraine's attacks on Russia. Merz explicitly supports Ukrainian drone and missile attacks as well as attacks on Russian communication and energy supply, Ganser explained. He referred to a response from Merz on October 16, 2026, at the conclusion of the EU summit in Brussels, which Volodymyr Zelensky also attended. In response to the question of whether it was wise to continue Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, Merz described them as "correct, understandable, and comprehensible" if they disrupted Russian warfare, Ganser wrote. Germany and other NATO countries supplied and financed the weapons, Ganser continued. According to his assessment, under previous chancellors Helmut Schmidt or Helmut Kohl, support for such attacks on Russian critical infrastructure would have been unthinkable. #Deutschland #NATO #Russland (translated)
