**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)

JH Fonseca wrote that Flávio should explore, in a Globo debate, topics such as violence, supermarket prices, interest rates, and taxes. He suggested that he present examples and solutions for public security and explain how, in his view, Lula's spending affected the daily lives of families. He also recommended that Flávio characterize Lula as radical and assert that he had deceived centrist voters in 2022. As an argument, he suggested mentioning appointments to the Supreme Federal Court and promising names with impeccable curricula in the judiciary. He further defended proposing that the Bolsa Família and its adjustments be included in the Constitution. Regarding sanitation, Fonseca stated that in 2002, before the PT took office, India and Iraq were far behind Brazil, but both had surpassed the country in the World Bank rankings, despite Iraq having gone through a war. In education, he recommended mentioning that Brazil continued to rank among the lowest in PISA and accusing the PT of having abandoned the issue, in addition to presenting concrete proposals. Concerning corruption, Fonseca suggested provoking Lula to lose his patience and, in the face of attacks, respond quickly and return to discussing proposals and change. He also advised Flávio not to waste time with "grandstanding." #Lula #DebatePolítico #Brasil (translated)

Jones Manoel criticized the TSE for, according to him, changing more than 4,000 voting locations on the eve of the election. He said that this measure could represent direct interference in the electoral process to benefit Flávio Bolsonaro and stated that he would conduct a more in-depth analysis. In the meantime, he urged people to check their voting location on the e-Título app and to help family members, the elderly, and neighbors do the same. Manoel advocated for mobilizations in the streets and on social media to avoid confusion, lines, and loss of votes, as well as to reduce the possible negative effects of the measure. #Eleições2023 #VotoConsciente #Mobilização (translated)

JH Fonseca stated that, in his assessment, what harmed Lula the most in the debate was the visual impression and not what was said. He wrote that the brain unconsciously sought security and evaluated posture, firmness, youth, height, tone of voice, and the ease of speaking and arguing. According to Fonseca, Lula scored 0 on these criteria, while Flávio received 8. #Lula #Debate #Segurança (translated)

JH Fonseca suggested that it would be elegant to remember that in 2002, before the PT took over the government, India and Iraq were behind Brazil in basic sanitation. According to him, after the PT governments, the two countries surpassed Brazil, according to the World Bank. Fonseca attributed this situation to the fact that half of the country does not have piped sewage. #Lula #SaneamentoBásico #Brasil (translated)
