Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the eco-friendly energy provider Grüüün will cease supply to around 200,000 private customers nationwide by October 31, 2026. The company only started in 2024 and had advertised price guarantees of up to ten years. Affected customers will need to find a new provider. Grüüün cited planned changes to the Renewable Energy Sources Act and new regulations for power grid expansion as reasons. The company fears that this will lead to fewer wind power and solar installations in the future, making it impossible to maintain long-term price guarantees. Negotiations with the federal government have been unsuccessful, Boeminghaus wrote, referring to a BILD report from October 10, 2026. He explained that this case illustrates how political and regulatory uncertainty can jeopardize long-term business models in the energy sector. https://t.co/NINMEcNkUS #Energiewende #Strompreise #Deutschland (translated)

"With the massive drone attack on Moscow, other cities, and polling stations on the main election day, the regime in Kyiv has effectively eliminated the possibility of an immediate resumption of the negotiation process."

Anna wrote that Volodymyr Zelensky described Trump's diesel deal with Putin as a "weak decision by strong partners." While the Ukrainian delegation negotiates with US representatives in Florida for two days about at least one ceasefire, the US president, according to Anna's account, enables the Kremlin to earn additional revenues. As the first step, the team discussed a ceasefire for energy facilities that would benefit Ukrainian families. Trump spoke with Putin and agreed that Russia could deliver 300,000 tons of diesel immediately, 500,000 tons in November, and then one million tons, Anna wrote. Zelensky said the deliveries would bring additional money for Russia's war against Ukraine – possibly "millions, billions." He criticized the approach as untrustworthy behavior among partners and stated that his team would be used as cover. #Ukraine #Waffenruhe #Trump (translated)

Nico Lange criticized a proposal by AfD and BSW in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt regarding peace talks. He wrote that Russia had attacked Ukraine and should not be rewarded for it. Ukraine has been ready for an unconditional and comprehensive ceasefire since March 2025, but Russia has not been so far. Therefore, pressure must be exerted on Moscow, Lange said. Arms deliveries do not necessarily extend the war, he argued. Germany is supplying air defense systems and ammunition that protect people and infrastructure. Ending support could weaken Ukraine's defense and make further waves of migration to Germany more likely. Lange also considered a complete lifting of sanctions against Russia before negotiations to be diplomatically unprofessional. The federal government supports a negotiated end to the war; it is crucial to move Russia towards a sustainable ceasefire and serious talks, he wrote. #Frieden #UkrainischerKonflikt #Diplomatie (translated)
