"In such cases, the attribution should be very clear. (...) It (Russia - BNS) tries to mask its traces, but on the other hand, it seeks to maintain tension, so that you in the West know that if you help Ukraine, you could face the same." President Gitanas Nausėda said that Russia's hybrid attacks against Europe are difficult to trace because the Kremlin deliberately covers up its tracks. #Rusija #NATO #HibridinisKaras (translated)

**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)

The conductor wrote that for the first time he felt concern that Ukraine would lose the war. He described Donald Trump's recent actions as a betrayal of Europe and the Western democratic world. He accused Trump of colluding with Vladimir Putin, whom he compared to Hitler, and of blaming Volodymyr Zelensky for problems including expensive diesel. According to the conductor, Trump was trying to cover up his own mistake in Iran. He stated that Putin wanted to involve Chinese President Xi Jinping in peace talks regarding Ukraine. He said the negotiations were only labeled as peaceful because Putin's demands would lead to Ukraine's capitulation. He compared Trump to "second fiddle" and wrote that Zelensky admitted Ukraine would not be able to win or even hold out without U.S. support if Washington sided with Russia. The conductor also noted that the Italian defense minister warned about the Russian army's strength of 1.5 million soldiers and that due to its financing from the Russian budget, the war cannot be immediately stopped. He attributed the Kremlin's lack of interest in a ceasefire. He accused the U.S. Secretary of Defense of mocking allied soldiers in Afghanistan, including the fallen, and labeled his actions as an insult. He criticized Europe for its silence and wrote that it seems to him that its representatives are afraid of both Putin and Trump. At the same time, he questioned whether they were waiting for Trump to take a break and change his mind again. #Ukrajina #Putin #Trump (translated)
