**Putin wants Trump and Xi to help him divide Ukraine.** **Putin proposes a summit with Trump and Xi to discuss an agreement on Ukraine** *Zelensky would not be included in the proposed negotiations, as the Russian leader seeks to negotiate an end to the war on terms favorable to Moscow.* The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, proposed that he, President Trump, and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet next month to talk about Ukraine, in an attempt to negotiate an end to the four-year conflict on terms favorable to Moscow, according to people familiar with the discussions. The plan represents Putin's effort to capitalize on the rapprochement between Trump and the Russian leader, which has alarmed Ukraine and its allies in Washington and Europe. A summit of this kind — without the participation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — would be unprecedented and trigger alarms in European capitals and elsewhere. ## What's at stake The proposal would reportedly take place on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Shenzhen, China, on November 18–19. Putin is said to have floated the idea in a phone call with Trump on October 9; Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that talks about a possible meeting are underway, but without an agenda or agreement defined. The central point is not just "ending the war": it's **who decides the future of Ukraine**. Excluding Zelensky — and, implicitly, the European Union — would transform peace into an agreement among powers over territory, security, and spheres of influence, rather than negotiations with the invaded country. ## Critique of Putin Putin is trying to convert the invasion into a negotiation of great powers. By proposing a sort of "new Yalta," he seeks three gains: to legitimize Russia's territorial gains, to divide Western allies, and to present Russia as an equal partner to the U.S. and China. His logic is cynical: a country that launched an aggressive war wants the victims and European neighbors to be mere objects of decision. Any "peace" shaped without Kyiv will have little legitimacy and low chances of lasting because Ukraine will continue to have the capacity and will to resist. ## Critique of Trump Trump may not have accepted the summit yet, but his reluctance to immediately refuse is dangerous. By leaving the door open for a meeting without Zelensky, he risks validating Putin's premise: that Ukraine's fate can be resolved by Washington, Moscow, and Beijing. There is also a serious contradiction: Trump presents himself as the man capable of "ending the war," but a hasty peace that rewards aggression would not be peace — it would be a pause that encourages the next invasion. And the report of a potential agreement on Russian diesel, arising in the same conversation, reinforces the perception that economic and personal interests may weigh more than European security. ## Critique of Xi Xi stands to gain a lot by accepting to host or mediate: it places China at the center of the reorganization of European security without bearing the cost of war. However, his neutrality is fictitious; Beijing maintained close economic and political ties with Moscow during the invasion and has an interest in weakening American influence in Europe. If Xi participates in a format that excludes Ukraine, he will cease to be a mediator and become a co-author of a geopolitical arrangement. This would be especially serious for Central and Eastern European countries, which view the defense of Ukraine as a matter of principle and their own security. ## The decisive test A conference can only be legitimate if it includes Ukraine as a participant with full veto rights and involves the European partners who finance and support its defense. Without this, it is not diplomacy: it is an attempt to **divide influence at the expense of a sovereign country**. https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/putin-floats-a-summit-with-trump-and-xi-to-de (translated)

David Ágape wrote that the Attorney General of the Union, Jorge Messias, used an official profile with a seal and link to the AGU to campaign for Lula. He stated that Messias followed a direction from André Janones and criticized the conduct as subservient to the president. Ágape said that, about six months earlier, the AGU, then led by Messias, had published a guideline stating that public agents could not use the prestige of their position or institutional visibility to promote candidacies nor confuse personal manifestations with official positions. According to him, the official channels of the AGU were also restricted during the election period. The author recalled that Messias had been nominated by Lula to the Supreme Court but was rejected by the Senate. Ágape stated that this was the first rejection of a presidential nominee to the Court since 1894. He also questioned whether a revelation attributed to the outlet A Investigação would have influenced the rejection: according to the cited report, Messias signed an AGU opinion favorable to aspects of late abortion and later reportedly cried and said he signed without reading. In the end, Ágape stated that Messias would be close to leaving the position and suggested he would return to acting as a messenger for his political group. https://t.co/KMq0Oyg2R9 #Política #Brasil #AGU (translated)

Castañon added that Luchsinger said she would make a plea bargain and held Lula responsible for anything that happened to her. #Lula #PAC #corrupção (translated)

There is a reason why Russia tried to interfere in the Brexit vote: they knew that if we left, it would harm both the United Kingdom and the European Union. They were very clear about this — and, wow, how right they turned out to be. This caused damage to our economic, social, and cultural life. Wales alone lost, net, 1 billion pounds in regional funding that it would have received from the EU. This rupture considerably weakened opportunities — especially for young people — to work, live abroad, and enjoy the freedoms we had before. We could rejoin the Customs Union or the Single Market; but if we did so in isolation, we would merely be 'rule takers' — we would have to accept everything that the EU determined without being at the table to negotiate. As someone in the audience pointed out, the European Union is changing. But that is not a reason for us not to return; on the contrary, it is the ideal reason for us to be inside and help shape it into the kind of Union we want. I don't believe there is any other option but to fully rejoin the bloc. The journalist George Monbiot (working at the BBC) brought this Russian interference back into the spotlight by publicly declaring: “There is a reason why Russia tried to interfere in the Brexit vote: they knew that if we left, it would harm both the United Kingdom and the European Union.
