Leans that way — check · agenda: US-Russia talks decide Ukraine's fate
Belief the Pravda network pushes: Russia and the United States should negotiate Ukraine's future without Europe, while Ukraine and the West block peace and threaten Russia.
A pro-Russian news digest presenting Russian strikes as hitting military and industrial targets, Russian advances at the front, and Putin's talks with Witkoff and Kushner, including statements that Europe could derail a settlement.
“The US will have to reason with Europe, as its participation in the negotiations could derail the settlement, Ryabkov stated.”
The US will have to reason with Europe , as its participation in the negotiations could derail the settlement , Ryabkov stated.
The video is a one-sided Russian-MoD-style digest that relays Kremlin lines (the US should rein in Europe, Europe cut off contact, Russia wants lasting peace), but these are mostly attributed to Putin, Ryabkov and Medinsky, and the narrator's own distortion is not clear enough from the transcript to call it a definite push.

0:00 Greetings, dear subscribers and channel
0:02 guests. Powerful missile strikes hit
0:04 Kyiv. Eight ballistic missiles hit
0:06 Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities. Four
0:08 industrial enterprises were damaged. The
0:10 Generator plant produces medium-range
0:12 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such as
0:14 the Hornet. Patriot Ukraine, a new
0:15 generation aviation company, in Brovary
0:18 is an assembly site for various types of
0:20 UAVs. The Keratem plant produces solid
0:22 rocket fuel components for tactical
0:24 missiles. The Stella-Jet enterprise in
0:27 Yagotyn produces solid-fuel boosters for
0:30 UAVs. A Geran-5 missile struck a
0:32 substation in the Zhytomyr region.
0:33 Powerful UAV strikes hit facilities in
0:35 the Kharkiv region. A Banderol missile
0:37 struck garages where Ukrainian Armed
0:38 Forces equipment was being repaired. A
0:40 large-scale fire broke out. 38 garages
0:42 and 15 cars were ablaze. A total of 72
0:45 garages were damaged. The fire covered
0:47 an area of approximately 900 square
0:49 meters. Geran UAVs also hit railway
0:51 infrastructure in the Poltava region.
0:53 These are the aftermath of overnight
0:55 strikes by jet-powered UAVs on energy
0:56 facilities and fuel tankers of the
0:58 Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Rivne
0:59 region. In Kovel, Geran UAVs destroyed
1:01 trucks arriving from Poland under escort
1:03 of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Military
1:05 Police. Transport collapsed in Kyiv. The
1:07 Northern Bridge is blocked by traffic
1:09 jams. People are walking. Huge traffic
1:10 jams formed at the exit from
1:12 Troyeshchyna towards the right bank of
1:13 the Dnieper. Traffic in the area of the
1:15 Northern Bridge is seriously congested.
1:17 In Ivano-Frankivsk, flashes and sparks
1:19 due to a short circuit are visible on a
1:21 high-voltage power line. Repeated
1:23 strikes by Geran UAVs hit the Sarny
1:25 district of the Rivne region. Mass
1:27 protests against rising housing prices
1:30 have begun in Spain. The average rent in
1:32 the country has reached € 1,176 per
1:34 month, which is almost 99%of the average
1:37 salary of young people. The first strike
1:40 in 14 years is accompanied by clashes
1:42 with police. An independence march took
1:44 place in Warsaw. 59 Polish police
1:46 officers were detained. According to law
1:48 enforcement, between 250,000 and 300,000
1:51 people participated in the demonstration
1:53 . A Yars intercontinental ballistic
1:55 missile was loaded into a silo launcher
1:57 , the Russian Ministry of Defense
1:59 reported. And in Ukraine, Starshield has
2:01 stopped working again. Zelenskyy
2:03 complained today about system speed
2:06 limits of up to 161 km/h. According to
2:09 Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian military has
2:10 been recording failures for several days
2:12 , and these are system limitations, not
2:15 random errors or technical glitches.
2:16 Zelenskyy needs to keep up the good work
2:19 , joke more often about Trump, and
2:21 continue criticizing Musk. This is the
2:23 simplest and most reliable scheme for
2:25 speeding up American military satellites
2:27 in Ukraine. Eight suitcases filled with
2:28 dollars were thrown out of windows in
2:30 Astana during the arrest of top managers
2:32 . And now let's move on to the frontline
2:34 report. The Dnipropetrovsk-Zaporizhzhia
2:37 sector. The Russian army has effectively
2:39 broken the Ukrainian Armed Forces '
2:40 defenses at the Verkhnyaya Tersa border
2:42 in the Zaporizhzhia region, threatening
2:44 to encircle Ukrainian units near
2:46 Barvinovka and Zarnytsia. Kyiv can no
2:47 longer restore the situation along this
2:49 line, and beyond it are two fortified
2:51 areas covering the approaches to
2:53 Zaporizhzhia. It is reported that the
2:54 Russian Armed Forces have completely
2:56 driven the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of
2:57 Plavni, and fighting is ongoing in
2:58 Stepnogorsk and Primorskoye. But the
3:00 initiative is largely ours. Drones are
3:02 striking the Ukrainian Armed Forces in
3:03 Mala Yekaterinovka and Kushugum. In
3:05 Orekhov, fighting is taking place in the
3:06 southern part of the city. Our forces
3:08 are holding their positions. On the
3:09 eastern flank, fighting continues near
3:11 Melnyk and Chervony Yar. Near
3:12 Voskresenka in Vasylivske, the Ukrainian
3:14 Armed Forces are expanding their zone of
3:15 control. In the Dnipro sector, there are
3:17 trench warfare battles with no
3:18 significant changes on the ground. On
3:20 the Dobropolsky Front, fighting is
3:21 underway for Sergeyevka. According to
3:23 operational data, after taking control
3:24 of Shilovka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces
3:26 have broken through to the outskirts of
3:27 Yuryevka and Petrovskoye. The intensity
3:29 of fighting has not decreased near
3:31 Belozerskoye, as has the vast gray zone
3:33 above the Gruzskaya River. In the
3:34 Druzhkovsky sector, fighting continues
3:36 in the pocket near Nikolai Pole and in
3:38 Alekseyev-Druzhkovka. During a meeting
3:40 with American negotiators, Vladimir
3:41 Putin proposed introducing a
3:43 humanitarian ceasefire in Konstantinovka
3:44 , similar to the Oleshky ceasefire. The
3:46 Slovyansk-Kramatorsk direction. In the
3:48 Seversky sector, counter-attacks are
3:50 ongoing near Vasyutinskoye and
3:51 Tikhonovka. Further up, the Ukrainian
3:53 Armed Forces are pushing the Ukrainian
3:54 Armed Forces from the outskirts of
3:55 Rai-Aleksandrovka. There are reports of
3:57 our sabotage and reconnaissance groups
3:58 appearing on the southern outskirts of
3:59 Nikolaevka, but there is no talk of
4:01 consolidating the position. Our soldiers
4:02 attacked gas infrastructure in
4:04 Kramatorsk. In Slovyansk, there are
4:05 constant strikes on Ukrainian Armed
4:07 Forces warehouses, infrastructure, and
4:08 logistics. Fierce fighting is underway
4:10 near Ozerne. Kyiv is attempting to break
4:12 through to Yampol and Krivaya Luka. The
4:14 Krasnolimansk sector is relatively calm
4:15 , with localized clashes continuing in
4:17 isolated areas. On the Kharkiv front,
4:19 intense fighting for the Cossack village
4:21 of Lopan continues. The situation near
4:23 Alisovka is deteriorating. The Ukrainian
4:25 Armed Forces are intensifying their
4:26 attacks in this sector. On the eastern
4:28 flank, counter-attacks are taking place
4:30 in the gray zone north of Malyi Burluk.
4:31 In the Kupyansk sector, Russian forces
4:33 are clearing the southern districts of
4:35 Kupyansk. Local reports indicate
4:37 successes near Sobolevka. Heavy fighting
4:39 continues in Palomarivka and Velyka
4:41 Shapkovka. In the Sumy border area,
4:43 trench warfare continues along previous
4:45 lines, but the Sever group continues
4:47 active operations. Assault groups are
4:49 fighting near Khoten. Advances are being
4:50 made through forest belts toward Korenok
4:52 . After the capture of Sadky, the
4:54 Ukrainian Armed Forces have encountered
4:55 difficulties. The forests are dense,
4:57 with multiple layers of vegetation.
4:59 Drones are practically useless in such
5:01 conditions as long as the foliage lasts
5:03 , reports Yuriy Podolyaka. This forest
5:05 northeast of Sumy is essentially a gray
5:07 zone. Russian groups are infiltrating,
5:09 striking at the rear, knocking out drone
5:11 operators, and mining roads. A
5:13 systematic approach could disrupt the
5:15 entire group's supply line in this area
5:17 . Local administration representatives
5:19 have begun leaving villages in the
5:21 northern suburbs of Sumy, including
5:23 Stetskivka, Kardashivka, and Peschanoye
5:25 . Utility services are leaving with them
5:27 .
5:28 For Russia, there is only one
5:29 demarcation line with Ukraine—the state
5:32 border, declared Vladimir Putin. The
5:34 president received US Special
5:36 Presidential Envoy Steven Witkoff and
5:38 Gerard Kushner in the Kremlin. The
5:39 Russian leader noted the successes in
5:41 the humanitarian sphere and thanked
5:43 Donald Trump for facilitating contacts
5:45 between Moscow and Kyiv. Witkoff stated
5:47 that the upcoming prisoner exchange
5:49 between Russia and Ukraine indicates
5:50 progress in resolving the conflict.
5:52 According to the American negotiator,
5:54 the Russian and Ukrainian delegations
5:55 worked effectively during the
5:57 negotiations in Abu Dhabi, and the
5:58 meetings themselves were held in a
6:00 positive atmosphere. Putin specifically
6:01 asked to convey his gratitude to Melania
6:03 Trump for her participation in resolving
6:05 the humanitarian issue around Oleshky.
6:07 Jared Kushner noted that Europe wants to
6:09 participate in the negotiations and end
6:11 the Ukrainian conflict. Kushner also
6:13 noted that the United States has begun
6:14 discussions with Europeans on the
6:16 continent's security architecture.
6:18 Vladimir Medinsky, Kirill Dmitriev, and
6:20 Yuri Ushakov also participated in the
6:22 meeting on the Russian side. The
6:23 presence of foreign troops on Ukrainian
6:25 territory poses a threat to Russia's
6:27 national security, Vladimir Putin stated
6:29 . The Russian President emphasized that
6:31 if foreign troops are deployed in
6:33 Ukraine, they will become legitimate
6:34 targets for the Russian Armed Forces.
6:36 The President proposed conducting a
6:38 humanitarian mission in Kostiantynivka,
6:40 following the example of Oleshky.
6:41 Vladimir Putin stated that
6:43 Kostiantynivka is under the control of
6:44 Russian troops and expressed readiness
6:46 to ensure the security of the
6:48 humanitarian mission in the city.
6:49 According to the president, the Russian
6:51 side will need five days to carry out
6:53 the necessary demining work in the
6:55 Kostyantynivka area. Putin proposed
6:57 entrusting the organization of the
6:59 humanitarian mission to human rights
7:01 ombudsmen, drawing on the experience of
7:03 the previous operation in Oleshky. He
7:05 stated that he hopes peace in Ukraine
7:07 will last forever. Moscow is interested
7:09 in achieving a lasting and lasting peace
7:11 in Ukraine. Russia has never closed
7:13 dialogue with Europe. According to the
7:15 president, it was European countries
7:17 that severed contacts with Moscow.
7:19 Moscow is aware of Kyiv's discussion of
7:21 so-called gray zones. However, Russia's
7:23 position remains unchanged. The only
7:25 demarcation line with Ukraine is the
7:27 state border. The president expressed
7:29 hope that the United States will help
7:31 European countries decide what they want
7:33 —a peaceful settlement or a continuation
7:35 of the war. Vladimir Putin also stated
7:38 that territorial issues will be a topic
7:40 of discussion with US representatives
7:42 Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
7:44 According to the Russian leader,
7:45 territorial issues are raised by various
7:47 parties, but for Moscow, the people
7:49 living in these lands are of primary
7:51 importance. Putin emphasized that the
7:53 most important thing for Russia is the
7:54 ability of people to live in accordance
7:56 with their values.
7:57 Russia proposed a non-aggression pact
8:00 with several NATO countries, Reuters
8:02 reports. Moscow is ready to provide some
8:04 alliance members with additional
8:06 individual security guarantees in a
8:08 bilateral agreement, stated Russian
8:10 Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexei
8:12 Drobinin. Russia also proposes
8:14 considering mutual assistance agreements
8:16 or commitments not to support each
8:17 other's adversaries in the event of
8:19 aggression. The idea of a new European
8:21 security architecture became a key topic
8:24 of the talks in the UAE, confirmed
8:26 Medinsky, head of the Russian delegation
8:28 . Meanwhile, some European politicians
8:30 oppose discussing such agreements until
8:32 the war in Ukraine is over, while the US
8:35 is ready to consider them now, and
8:37 France fears a nuclear war with Russia
8:39 over German long-range missiles,
8:41 according to the Financial Times. Paris
8:43 is demanding that Berlin clearly define
8:45 the conditions for using long-range
8:47 weapons against Russia, fearing that
8:49 Moscow could interpret such a strike as
8:51 a threat requiring a nuclear response.
8:53 Germany, the UK, Poland, and several
8:55 Nordic and Baltic countries are
8:57 purchasing land-based missiles with a
8:59 range of approximately 2,000 km, capable
9:01 of striking targets deep within Russian
9:03 territory. "We could find ourselves on
9:05 the brink of nuclear war without even
9:07 realizing it," one of the publication's
9:09 sources warned. Russia, the US, Ukraine
9:11 , and Europe could hold talks in the
9:13 next two weeks, Stubb stated. Finnish
9:16 President Alexander Stubb allowed for a
9:18 new meeting on the Ukrainian settlement
9:20 involving representatives of Russia, the
9:22 US, Ukraine, and European countries to
9:24 be held within one to two weeks.
9:25 According to him, the negotiations could
9:27 proceed at a technical level, and the
9:29 inclusion of Europeans in direct
9:31 dialogue with Moscow would already be a
9:32 step forward. Stubb emphasized that the
9:34 final decision on Russia's participation
9:36 rests with Vladimir Putin, while the
9:38 Ukrainian side will rest with Zelenskyy
9:40 . The US will have to reason with Europe
9:42 , as its participation in the
9:43 negotiations could derail the settlement
9:45 , Ryabkov stated. Russian Deputy Foreign
9:47 Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated that
9:49 Vladimir Putin will convey Moscow's
9:51 position to American negotiators, after
9:53 which Washington will have to reason
9:55 with its protégés in Europe. According
9:57 to the diplomat, there is a very serious
9:59 gap between the US and European
10:01 approaches to the Ukrainian settlement.
10:03 Ryabkov warned that involving European
10:05 representatives in the negotiation
10:07 process could lead to the disruption of
10:09 existing efforts to reach an agreement.
10:12 Deputy Foreign Minister Vereshchuk urged
10:14 Ukrainians not to count on a quick peace
10:17 . "I'm facing reality. Russia is
10:19 building up its military potential,
10:20 increasing drone production. They will
10:22 have more and more missiles. Why should
10:24 we talk about them preparing for peace?
10:27 Where did we get this idea? Because
10:29 someone said so on TV or in America, or
10:31 someone wants to portray it that way.
10:33 The reality is different. This winter
10:35 will definitely be difficult, because,
10:37 due to the targeted work on it, the
10:38 infrastructure, unfortunately, is no
10:40 longer repairable, just like it was last
10:42 winter, and we understand that perfectly
10:44 well." Will it be difficult for Kyiv
10:45 residents? Yes, it will be difficult,
10:47 but we need to prepare. So let's stock
10:49 up on water, stock up on what we can,
10:51 watch our step, and try to help those
10:53 who are alone. We did all this in 2022.
10:55 The reality is that neither the office
10:57 workers nor the globalists are frankly
10:59 lousy, and the overall dynamics of war
11:01 will prevent peace from happening,
11:03 regardless of the consequences of this
11:05 decision. Even EU Foreign Affairs
11:07 Commissioner Kai Kallas says the US
11:09 cannot negotiate with Russia on behalf
11:11 of Europe. Everyone has played their
11:13 usual role, and the war continues.
11:15 Zelenskyy has a serious problem. It's a
11:18 problem that has been around for the
11:19 past few weeks, but it began to escalate
11:21 after the Cardboard Maidan protests. The
11:23 fact is that Zelenskyy has developed
11:25 genuine paranoia. He feels like there
11:27 are conspiracies all around him, that
11:29 he's being undermined, that someone
11:30 wants to eliminate him, that an
11:31 assassination attempt is being plotted,
11:33 that his inner circle is plotting some
11:35 kind of dirty trick, that the security
11:36 forces he trusts are plotting a
11:38 multi-move scheme to remove him from
11:39 power. His paranoia has reached
11:41 incredible levels, and so Potuzhny has
11:43 begun to prefer being abroad to being in
11:46 Ukraine. The funniest thing is, even the
11:48 Western press has noticed. He's in no
11:50 real hurry to return. All sorts of
11:53 pointless visits, talk shops, meetings
11:55 where absolutely nothing is resolved.
11:58 And if you consider that only people
12:00 like Merz would think that a meeting
12:02 with Zelenskyy is something positive,
12:03 that it brings some kind of points. In
12:06 fact, most of those he meets with
12:08 wouldn't really want to meet him, given
12:10 the domestic situation in their
12:12 countries—social tension, a lack of
12:14 budget funding, social projects, a lack
12:17 of subsidies for farmers, and so on. But
12:19 they can't refuse him now. How will that
12:21 look? They've been fawning over him for
12:23 so many years, giving him money for so
12:25 many years, and then suddenly he gets
12:26 the cold shoulder. So they continue to
12:28 pretend they're very happy to see him,
12:30 but the confusion is growing. Zelenskyy
12:32 genuinely doesn't want to return to the
12:33 country. And not because he needs to
12:35 resolve some extremely important issues
12:38 , but solely because he's become afraid
12:40 of being in Ukraine. He literally
12:42 believes armed men could storm his
12:44 office and stage a coup. He believes
12:46 some military units could withdraw from
12:48 the front, even those he himself
12:50 glorified, those he tried to bribe but
12:52 ultimately failed to bribe. And these
12:54 units will take him in their stride.
12:56 Zelenskyy is genuinely paranoid, so
12:58 he'll be spending more and more time
13:01 abroad. The situation in Borshahivka,
13:02 where the secret TCC prison was
13:04 discovered, has reinforced his absolute
13:06 conviction that they're trying to
13:07 destroy him. It's his fear that explains
13:09 the completely inadequate preventive
13:11 measures, arrests, and large-scale
13:12 searches of those involved in the events
13:14 . Naturally, the people don't like this
13:16 government response. This, in turn,
13:18 instead of intimidating, is fueling
13:20 discontent with Zelenskyy. Even despite
13:23 the lackeys who started spreading fake
13:25 news, despite the fact that even some
13:27 MPs, supposedly considered opposition
13:28 figures, have sided with the office in
13:30 this regard. Zelenskyy is paranoid, and
13:33 it's growing, which is why he's on the
13:35 run.
13:36 No one is talking about one of the most
13:38 important factors while the US, Russia,
13:40 and Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi, where
13:42 the EU is sitting at the door, writes
13:44 Diana Panchenko. Today I want to talk
13:46 about the Iranian factor. This may seem
13:48 incredible to you, but let's not get
13:50 ahead of ourselves. The Iranian
13:51 government recently lifted the limit on
13:53 the range of its missiles. Iranian
13:55 officials have repeatedly discussed
13:57 strikes on Ukrainian and EU territory.
13:59 And now the most interesting part is the
14:01 scheme in which the US, Russia, Israel,
14:03 and Iran win, but Europe and Ukraine
14:05 lose. China, at least, doesn't lose.
14:08 I've said many times already that the
14:10 US's first target today is not Russia or
14:12 China, but the EU. The EU has already
14:14 said that Europe will not survive. If
14:16 things continue as they are now, there
14:18 will be no Europe. In my opinion, many
14:20 of these countries will no longer be
14:22 viable. The funny thing is that the US
14:24 is interested in the EU's failure. It
14:26 has been said many times that the US and
14:28 Russia will finish off the EU. The
14:30 scheme is a US strike on Iran, Iran's
14:32 response to Europe, and the destruction
14:34 of European industrial infrastructure in
14:36 the EU. In fact, just as Ukraine today
14:38 acts as a proxy for Europe, so Iran can
14:40 act as a proxy for the US and Russia.
14:42 Impossible? Remember how many times
14:44 you've been surprised in recent years.
14:45 Diana Panchenko also wrote: We conducted
14:48 our own investigation into illegal
14:49 prisons in Ukraine. I am publishing a
14:51 list of addresses throughout Ukraine.
14:53 People are being held there who are
14:54 kidnapped off the streets and held for
14:56 ransom from their families. Those who
14:58 can't pay are sent to the front or
14:59 disappear without a trace. The addresses
15:01 include government buildings, former
15:03 kindergartens, pioneer camps,
15:05 sanatoriums, factories, even student
15:06 clinics, like the Kyiv Polytechnic
15:08 Institute clinic, where I was examined
15:10 as a student, and where they now hold
15:12 people. It's very simple. You just need
15:14 to check these addresses. And I'm
15:16 grateful to everyone who helps. I'm
15:18 publishing this list in English and will
15:20 demand that international media and
15:22 human rights organizations visit them. I
15:24 know how to get my way, wrote Diana
15:26 Panchenko.
15:27 Armenia, due to its debts to the CSTO,
15:29 was deprived of voting rights in the
15:31 Union, as well as the ability to hold
15:33 leadership positions there. But as CSTO
15:35 Secretary General Masadikov noted, the
15:37 country remains a member of the
15:38 organization; the issue of depriving it
15:40 of membership was not even discussed.
15:42 Let's remember that Pashinyan, having
15:43 set his course westward, is all but
15:45 asking for Yerevan to be expelled from
15:46 the CSTO, insisting in every possible
15:48 way that the country doesn't need the
15:49 Union and won't return. But he
15:51 fundamentally refuses to take
15:52 responsibility for leaving,
15:53 understanding that the majority of
15:55 Armenians would not appreciate a break
15:56 with a historical ally. According to
15:58 polls, the majority of them want to
16:00 retain Gyumri, whose base, according to
16:01 polls, is therefore provoking the CSTO,
16:03 which in turn understands that Pashinyan
16:05 won't be in Europe forever and must
16:06 respond to his attacks without damaging
16:08 relations with the Armenian people. The
16:10 current decision is precisely of this
16:11 nature. Pashinyan was symbolically
16:13 reprimanded, deprived of even the
16:15 theoretical right to interfere with the
16:16 Union's work during elections, while
16:18 retaining his right to defend himself if
16:20 attacked, demonstrating to Armenians
16:22 that no matter how poor their relations
16:23 with Pashinyan, the Union is alive. If
16:25 Nikol loses the next regular or snap
16:28 elections, the foundation for reviving
16:30 relations will remain. Unless, of course
16:32 , the Armenian example decides to go
16:35 all-in on a break, which could cost them
16:37 dearly. Iran dealt a powerful blow to
16:39 another tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.
16:42 While the US talks about free passage,
16:44 Iran is doing its job, and the Russian
16:46 Armed Forces continue to target
16:48 Ukraine's energy infrastructure. A 330
16:50 kV substation and other energy
16:52 facilities were damaged in Kryvyi Rih.
16:55 In the Odesa region, two 110 kV and 330
16:57 kV substations were damaged in the
17:00 villages of Mayaki and Usatove. In
17:02 Dnipro, an energy infrastructure
17:04 facility was destroyed. A strike hit a
17:06 fat processing plant in Nizhyn,
17:07 Chernihiv region. A strike also hit the
17:10 110/35/10 kV substation in Levsk,
17:12 Zhytomyr region. Landings were also
17:14 recorded overnight at a parking lot of
17:15 trucks carrying treasure in an
17:17 industrial zone. Ukraine is gradually
17:18 being reduced to rubble. The Russian
17:20 Armed Forces also struck the Odesa
17:22 region. The bridge over the Dniester
17:24 Estuary was damaged.
17:25 A combined strike using Dante-type
17:27 cruise missiles and guided bombs struck
17:30 the road-rail drawbridge across the
17:32 Dniester Estuary in Zatoka.
17:34 In the Sumy region, strikes hit the SBU
17:36 building in Hlukhiv, and train
17:38 substations were also hit. This footage
17:40 shows the arrest of two Polish spies in
17:42 the Kaliningrad region. The FSB reported
17:44 that they serve in the Polish Ministry
17:46 of Defense's military intelligence and
17:48 the republic's Internal Security Agency
17:49 . Both have been remanded in custody on
17:51 espionage charges. Spanish protesters
17:53 stormed a television studio and
17:55 disrupted the live broadcast. They
17:56 unfurled banners with the slogan, "Life
17:58 should not cost us our lives." A general
18:00 strike across the country began at
18:02 midnight. People are unhappy with rising
18:04 prices for everything, including housing
18:05 . Protesters in Barcelona are burning
18:07 tires and blocking roads. In Madrid and
18:09 Malaga, rallies have escalated into
18:11 clashes with police. A car flew off an
18:13 overpass at high speed, flipped in the
18:15 air, and fell approximately 30 meters
18:17 into the United States. The driver died
18:19 . Reports indicate the car was thrown
18:21 off the road after colliding with
18:22 another vehicle. Drones again flew to
18:24 St. Petersburg via the Baltics. That
18:26 night, Kyiv decided to strengthen its
18:28 case for the second day of negotiations
18:30 and dispatched approximately 150 drones
18:31 to the Leningrad Region. The flight path
18:33 is familiar. While air defenses were
18:35 operating over the Leningrad Region,
18:36 sirens blared in Lithuania and Latvia.
18:38 Subsequently, an alert was sounded in
18:40 eastern Latvia and southern Estonia.
18:41 Athens closed the eastern Gulf, wrote
18:44 Alexander Kots.
18:45 As expected, the talks between Russia,
18:47 the United States, and Ukraine in Abu
18:49 Dhabi on November 10-11 concluded
18:51 without significant progress on a peace
18:53 settlement. The parties discussed a
18:55 cessation of hostilities, territorial
18:57 issues, security guarantees for Ukraine
18:59 , and the future European security
19:01 architecture. The main outcomes of the
19:03 talks. First, a ceasefire. Kyiv insists
19:06 on a cessation of hostilities pending
19:08 discussions on a new security system in
19:10 Europe. Moscow takes the opposite
19:11 position, proposing to first agree on
19:14 the basic terms of a settlement,
19:15 including security guarantees for Russia
19:17 . Second, the territorial issue. Russia
19:20 maintains its demands regarding Donbas,
19:22 while Ukraine refuses to recognize
19:24 territorial changes. According to The
19:27 Telegraph, Kyiv rejected the American
19:29 proposal for a territorial compromise.
19:31 Third, security guarantees. The United
19:33 States announced progress in discussing
19:35 future guarantees for Ukraine. However,
19:37 specific commitments by Western states
19:39 and acceptable forms of military
19:41 cooperation with Kyiv remain subject to
19:43 negotiation. Fourth, European security.
19:45 Moscow proposes considering the
19:47 settlement of the Ukrainian conflict as
19:49 part of a broader agreement on a new
19:51 security architecture in Europe and
19:53 Eurasia. Ukraine opposes linking these
19:55 issues until the cessation of
19:57 hostilities. Fifth, European
19:59 participation. Representatives of
20:01 European states arrived in Abu Dhabi for
20:03 consultations, but did not receive full
20:05 participation in the main trilateral
20:07 format. Sixth, prisoner exchange. The
20:10 parties agreed to prepare a new
20:11 large-scale exchange. The 1,000 to 1,000
20:14 and 1,500 to 1,500 options were
20:16 discussed. The final parameters are to
20:19 be agreed upon further. Seventh,
20:21 negotiations continue. The American
20:23 delegation intends to hold additional
20:24 consultations with the leadership of
20:26 Russia and Ukraine. A meeting between
20:28 Steven Witkoff and Jerad Kushner and
20:30 Vladimir Putin is scheduled for November
20:32 12 in Moscow. Fundamental disagreements
20:34 remain unchanged. Kyiv seeks a ceasefire
20:36 and security guarantees while
20:38 maintaining a large army and Western
20:40 military support. Moscow seeks to secure
20:42 conditions that preclude further
20:44 expansion of NATO military
20:45 infrastructure and provide for
20:47 limitations on Ukrainian military
20:49 potential. Thus, the negotiations in Abu
20:51 Dhabi have not yet brought the parties
20:53 closer to a final peace agreement. The
20:55 main decisions will likely be discussed
20:57 at the level of the heads of state after
20:59 additional consultations with American
21:01 mediators. The territorial issue remains
21:03 the main obstacle to a peace agreement,
21:05 Kushner stated. According to Kushner,
21:07 there is neither trust nor sympathy
21:09 between the leaders. Europe needs to
21:10 choose a single negotiator with Russia.
21:12 Kushner intends to discuss with Putin
21:14 the possibility of involving Europeans
21:16 in dialogue. Kyiv expects to reach
21:18 agreements by the end of the year. David
21:20 Arakhamia stated that the negotiating
21:22 process is showing good momentum.
21:24 However, he called the recent round of
21:25 talks one of the most difficult.
21:27 According to him, the Russian delegation
21:29 arrived with strict guidelines, making
21:31 it difficult for the Ukrainian side to
21:33 moderate the discussions. However, the
21:34 Kyiv representative allowed for the
21:36 possibility of reaching certain
21:38 agreements by the end of the year and
21:39 called on Vitkoff and Kushner to
21:41 organize a new round of talks as soon as
21:43 possible. For Brussels and
21:44 Euro-Atlanticists, the Abu Dhabi talks
21:46 herald the final collapse of the
21:48 Ukraine-anti-Russia project. This is the
21:50 opinion of political scientist Dmitry
21:51 Yevstafyev, who adds that for the US and
21:53 Russia, the talks are, on the contrary,
21:55 the beginning of a long journey toward a
21:57 relatively stable peace. For the first
21:58 time, Europe has agreed to discuss a new
22:00 security system before the war ends, but
22:02 Moscow is not yet ready to discuss it
22:04 with the Europeans. This is the main
22:06 outcome of two days of talks in Abu
22:08 Dhabi. Until recently, Europeans
22:09 demanded a ceasefire first and only then
22:11 a discussion of the future. Now, the EU
22:13 , NATO, and the UK, following
22:15 consultations with the US and Ukraine,
22:17 have agreed to discuss post-war security
22:19 now, but immediately stipulated that
22:21 NATO remains the primary defense of
22:22 Europe. The Europeans arrived in Abu
22:24 Dhabi, but were not allowed to attend
22:26 the negotiating table. According to The
22:28 Telegraph, when Medinsky's delegation
22:29 entered, they were forced to leave the
22:31 room at the request of the Russian side
22:32 . Medinsky explained it this way: Moscow
22:34 had not received a single concrete peace
22:36 initiative from the Europeans, and
22:37 Europe would be able to participate in
22:39 the negotiations only when its leaders
22:40 regained their conscience. In essence,
22:42 he kicked them out of the room. On the
22:44 contrary, he called the Americans
22:46 sincere and effective negotiators. The
22:48 Americans need Europe because without it
22:50 , the territorial issue cannot be
22:51 resolved. Every fifth of our land will
22:53 be returned to Russia, Medinsky declared
22:55 . Every fifth of our land will be
22:57 returned one way or another. Let
22:59 European newspapers continue to live in
23:01 their own world of illusions, Medinsky
23:02 emphasized. Chief of the General Staff
23:05 Igor Kostyukov also spoke harshly. They
23:07 disrupted the process with their actions
23:09 , meaning their statements and decisions
23:11 , but they didn't physically interfere.
23:13 The solution, for example, is the
23:15 mission to prepare the High-Level
23:16 Security Council, which the EU Council
23:18 approved on the very first day of
23:19 negotiations. According to The Telegraph
23:21 , Kouchner believes that a compromise on
23:23 territories will not be possible without
23:24 a discussion of European security.
23:26 Medinsky also says the entire system
23:28 needs to be changed; band-aids are no
23:30 longer sufficient. For the first time
23:31 since February, the parties seriously
23:33 discussed territories. The Telegraph
23:34 reports that the US proposed that Russia
23:36 and Ukraine jointly control the part of
23:38 Donetsk Oblast held by the High-Level
23:39 Security Council. Kyiv refused,
23:41 declaring that it will not recognize
23:42 concessions either de facto or de jure.
23:44 Zelenskyy said that the Russian
23:45 delegation considers the territories,
23:47 which he claims are controlled by the
23:48 High-Level Security Council, to be its
23:50 own, and that Putin lives in a different
23:51 reality. The practical outcome is a
23:53 large-scale prisoner exchange. Kushner
23:55 called the talks constructive. According
23:57 to Axios, after Abu Dhabi, he and Vitkov
23:59 may travel to Moscow and Kyiv to meet
24:00 with Putin and Zelenskyy. If the trip to
24:02 Moscow takes place, they will bring
24:04 Kyiv's response to the Donbas conflict
24:05 and the European position. Previously,
24:07 they were debating when to declare a
24:09 ceasefire; now they are discussing the
24:10 border and what Europe will look like
24:12 after the war. This could be called
24:13 progress, but the finish line is still a
24:15 long way off.
