2025-11-09 | Silicon Wafers 051 | DAILY UPDATES | Despite the profusion of stories we've covered, the battle for Pokrovsk, energy sanctions, and so on, the most important strategic angle on the war this winter is the attritional energy war. And it's unlike the Western attitude to the war throughout all these four years – to cede the escalation dominance to Russia, always pulling punches, in support for Ukraine, and never allowing its ally to land a decisive blow on Russia. Now Ukraine is takin off the gloves, because below the nuclear threshold, there is nothing holding back Russia's viciousness and violence. Ukraine is seeking to inflict greater costs on Russia in the energy war, than it can impose upon Ukraine. This ‘escalation' is the only way to make it clear to Putin he cannot win and is the only way to inflict economic and social costs that start to make Putin's brittle regime appear vulnerable to its internal audience. Nothing else will get through to Putin. Nothing at all. Ukraine's “doomsday lever”? Hitting the Yamal network — myth vs. math. There is an inescapable logic to the course of this existential escalation for Ukraine's existence. It starts with testing the theory of imposing blackouts and heating denial to smaller, non-strategic Russian towns. Belgorod, Vladimir, Voronezh. And this is happening now. The next stage is to test supporting infrastructure around Moscow – electricity substations, energy supply routes for fuel, gas and oil products. This is happening. Beyond that, are substantial and extended blackouts in smaller towns, then Moscow and St. Petersburg. But that's not the final arrow in Ukraine's quiver. It has a doomsday option – hitting Yamal Cross. If none of the other escalatory steps lead to an unconditional ceasefire, then I suggest it's a near certainly that we'll reach the doomsday stage for Moscow by end of this winter. ----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

It's been a week that's seen a remarkable political upset in New York, where 34-year-old Zohran Mamdani became the city's youngest mayor in 130 years – and its first Muslim and immigrant leader in generations. The Democratic Socialist's pledge to make New York more affordable galvanised young voters, though his call to tax the rich unsettled the party establishment. In Ukraine, fierce fighting continues for control of Pokrovsk, the fortress city key to Donetsk's supply lines, as Russia claims to have encircled it and President Zelensky vows defiance on the front line. In Mexico, President Claudia Sheinbaum – after being groped by a man in public – has vowed to criminalise street harassment nationwide, calling it an attack on all women. And for Elon Musk, it's been a record-breaking week, as Tesla shareholders approved what could become the biggest executive pay deal in history – worth up to a trillion dollars if he meets his ambitious targets.

On this week's Defense & Aerospace Report Washington Roundtable, Dr. Patrick Cronin of the Hudson Institute think tank, Michael Herson of American Defense International, former DoD Europe chief Jim Townsend of the Center for a New American Security, and Pentagon comptroller Dr. Dov Zakheim of the Center for Strategic and International Studies join Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the longest US government shutdown; President Trump's call that senators break the filibuster to end the closure as Democrats have a banner Election Day; the Senate votes on a new war powers resolution as the administration hints at military action to topple the Maduro government in Venezuela; Russian forces advance toward Pokrovsk seen as key to controlling Donetsk; takeaways from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's visits to Korea, Vietnam and Malaysia where he met with his Chinese counterpart Dong Jun as the president continued to comment on Xi Jinping, a Taiwan invasion and nuclear testing in the wake of his trip to Asia last week, and saying American forces would take action in Nigeria to stop what he called mass killings of christians by Islamist militants even though there appears no evidence of such sectarian violence; Hegseth's meeting on Friday with top defense and aerospace executives to unveil his new acquisition reforms to more quickly field new weapons; Saudi Arabia wants F-35 Lightning II fighters as Mohamed bin Sultan to Washington next week; and the legacies of former Vice President Dick Cheney dies at age 84 and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi who said she would retire in 2027 after more than four decades in the House.

Era gennaio 2025, poco meno di un anno fa, quando il generale libico Almasri, su cui pendeva un mandato d'arresto della Corte penale internazionale, fu prima arrestato e poi rilasciato dalle autorità italiane. Ieri, 5 novembre, Almasri è stato arrestato in Libia con l'accusa di tortura e omicidio. Ne parliamo con Jalel Archaoui, analista esperto di affari libici per il RUSI.Pokrovsk sta per cadere. La città "fortezza" del Donetsk che le forze ucraine continuano a difendere ostinatamente pare sia infatti completamente accerchiata dalle truppe russe. Ne parliamo con Davide Maria De Luca, giornalista di Domani a Kyiv.

Silicon Bites Ep265 - Day 1,351 - 2025-11-05 | Donetsk, the contested Donetsk rail-and-road hub has become the most consequential urban fight since Avdiivka, and the outcome of that fight may turn out to be instrumental for the outcome of the war, not only against Ukraine, but Russia's war against Western democracy. In today's episode, we are zooming in on the battle for Pokrovsk. We'll explain why Russia is so desperate to take it, what Ukraine is doing to hold it, the claims and counterclaims on the ground, and what happens next if Russia's offensive stalls — or if it succeeds.On Sunday, Valery Gerasimov, Russian chief of staff, told President Vladimir Putin his 2nd and 51st Combined Arms Armies were "advancing along converging axes" and "have completed the encirclement of the enemy" in Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad. He claimed 5,500 Ukrainian troops were surrounded. But Russian military reporters contradicted these claims, with one named "Military Informant" telling 621,000 Telegram subscribers, "There is simply no encirclement". Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi was categorical last Saturday: while the situation in Pokrovsk remains "hardest" for Ukrainian forces, there is no encirclement or blockade as Russia has claimed. He insisted a comprehensive operation to destroy and dislodge enemy forces from Pokrovsk is ongoing.----------SOURCES: The Guardian — Ukraine war briefing: Zelenskyy visits troops near embattled Pokrovsk (Nov 5, 2025) The Guardian — Ukraine deploys special forces to Pokrovsk in effort to hold key city (Nov 2, 2025)Reuters — Ukraine says its troops still holding out in Pokrovsk as Moscow says pincer closing (Nov 1, 2025)The Moscow Times/AFP — Zelensky Visits Troops Near Threatened Pokrovsk (Nov 4, 2025)Kyiv Independent — Russia claims HUR special forces raid… Ukraine denies, Syrskyi insists ‘no encirclement' (Nov 1, 2025)Kyiv Independent — Russian ‘sabotage' unit that killed civilians in Pokrovsk later eliminated (Oct 20, 2025)----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------This is super important.

On this episode of Reaganism, host Roger Zakheim sits down with Wall Street Journal Editorial Board Member Jillian Kay Melchior to discuss her latest trip to Ukraine and update from the frontlines in Donetsk. Roger and Jillian discuss the race between elite Ukrainian and Russian drone units as they both look for the upper hand in Ukraine's heavily defended fortress belt. They discuss how despite over a decade at war, Ukraine's civil society and democratic fabric is flourishing and is increasingly integrated into Western economic, political, and security architecture. They conclude the conversation with a discussion of US arms transfers and sanctions pressure, and the importance of creating various vectors of pressure points on Russia.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Adam about today’s top global stories — beginning in the Philippines, where Typhoon Kalmaegi has left at least 52 people dead and hundreds of thousands displaced after devastating floods swept through the island of Cebu. In Eastern Europe, Ukraine has struck deep inside Russia with long-range drones, hitting an industrial plant over 1,300 kilometres away, even as fierce fighting continues around Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region. And in Ireland, sporting legend DJ Carey — a five-time All-Ireland hurling champion, has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison for defrauding people while pretending to have cancer, marking a dramatic fall from grace for one of the sport’s greatest names. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

« De la Tyrannie en Amérique ». C'est la couverture du Nouvel Obs cette semaine. Un dossier sur les débuts du second mandat de Donald Trump, élu le 5 novembre 2024, il y a un an. Et ce titre « De la Tyrannie en Amérique » évoque la fracture du système démocratique américain ébranlée depuis le retour au pouvoir de Trump, bien loin du célèbre ouvrage d'Alexis de Tocqueville De la démocratie en Amérique, publié au XIXè siècle. Ainsi, commente le Nouvel Obs, le président américain « transforme la plus vieille démocratie du monde, en régime illibéral ». Dès janvier dernier, le Financial Times avait pu voir clair sur l'avenir du pays, le jour de l'investiture : « Le contraste entre Trump et ses prédécesseurs signale plus un changement de régime qu'un simple transfert de pouvoir ». Et depuis, les péripéties ont été nombreuses depuis le retour du Roi à la Maison Blanche, comme résume une manifestante du mouvement « No Kings » (« Pas de roi en Amérique ») avec ces quelques mots : « Louis XVI a dit "L'État, c'est moi". C'est exactement comme ça que Trump voit les choses ». Louis XVI et « La doctrine du Gangster » Le Nouvel Obs revient sur ce qu'il appelle « La doctrine du Gangster ». Ainsi, Trump « s'est servi d'Elon Musk comme d'un idiot utile, en le nommant à la tête d'un département à l'Efficacité gouvernementale pour licencier des dizaines de milliers d'employés fédéraux et fermer des agences telles que l'USAID, chargée de l'aide étrangère. Il a imposé le nationalisme chrétien blanc comme la nouvelle idéologie nationale, interdit les termes "diversité", "équité", "inclusion", (…) a attaqué ses opposants, mais amnistié ses amis, à commencer par les émeutiers du Capitole. » Que dire des droits humains et des minorités sur le sol américain ? Le président a également « asphyxié l'audiovisuel public, instrumentalisé la culture, réécrit l'histoire » Le Nouvel Obs s'intéresse aussi aux antivax au pouvoir. En fait, souligne le magazine, « Quand la réalité ne lui plaît pas, il la change. » Les États-Unis sont par ailleurs sortis de l'Accord de Paris sur le Climat et de l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé. Et ce n'est pas fini… Dernièrement, l'assassinat de Charlie Kirk, érigé en martyr national, a lancé une nouvelle phase dans la consolidation du pouvoir Trumpien. « Objectif : rendre l'opposition inopérante avant les midterms. Une vaste opération de redécoupage a été lancée (…) pour priver les démocrates de futurs sièges aux Congrès » Ainsi, « L'adversaire désigné, c'est "l'extrémisme de gauche", "les antifas", des appellations assez floues – Vous l'aurez compris – pour s'en prendre à toute l'opposition, accusée de promouvoir la violence politique responsable de la mort de Charlie Kirk. » Et ceux en travers de sa route, ont fini par se faire inculper. L'ex-directeur du FBI James Comey, la procureur générale de New York Laetitia James, son ancien conseiller à la sécurité nationale James Bolton. Reste cette question : Ira-t-il jusqu'à déclencher l'Insurrection Act autorisant le déploiement de l'armée dans le pays ? Trump a déjà envoyé la garde nationale dans les bastions démocrates : Washington, Portland, Chicago… Washington, devenu un « laboratoire de la dictature » détaille dans un nouvel article Le Nouvel Obs : Trump montre qu'il peut « soumettre une ville ayant voté à 92 % contre lui et repousser les limite du pouvoir exécutif en profitant de sa vulnérabilité » car la capitale n'est pas un État et n'a pas de représentation au Capitole, ni de contrôle sur son budget. Trump veut même rebaptiser la scène culturelle en « Trump Kennedy Center »… il en a déjà pris la présidence et a placé ses proches au conseil d'administration. Sur sa politique internationale, l'hebdomadaire souligne : « l'admirateur de Vladimir Poutine et de Xi Jinping a abandonné son rôle de rempart contre le despotisme. Au contraire, il a assis sa puissance sur le rapport de force, par le chantage aux droits de douane ou par les armes, comme en Iran. » Kim Jung-un ou « la résurrection d'un paria », sur fond de guerre en Ukraine Et justement, protégé par Moscou et Pékin, un dictateur est scruté de près par Donald Trump. Il s'est même rendu indispensable à Vladimir Poutine depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine. Kim Jung-un ou « la résurrection d'un paria » titre l'Express, qui analyse à quel point l'invasion russe en Ukraine a été une bénédiction pour le leader nord-coréen. Lui qui était reparti les mains vides de son second sommet avec Donald Trump à Hanoï. « Dès le début du conflit en Ukraine, Kim comprend qu'il peut tirer profit de la situation. (…) Avec la Syrie, il est le seul à reconnaître les Républiques de Louhansk et Donetsk, annexées par la Russie. Manquant désespérément de devises (…) il livre jusqu'à 40 % des munitions tirées par les Russes » entre octobre 2023 et avril 2025. Ajoutez à cela plus d'une centaine de missiles pour la seule année 2025, la signature d'un traité de défense mutuelle en juin 2024, puis 10 000 soldats nord-coréens pour aider les Russes à reprendre les zones de la région ukrainienne de Koursk. Des soldats traités comme de la chair à canon. Conséquences : « Les livraisons à Moscou sont ensuite montées en gamme, grâce à l'afflux de devises russes, qui permet à Pyongyang de relancer sa production d'armes ». De quoi inquiéter les occidentaux car « Moscou pourrait en effet permettre à Kim de réaliser son rêve : développer un sous-marin lanceur d'engin à propulsion nucléaire ». Quoi qu'il en soit, c'est un immense succès diplomatique pour la Corée du Nord. Sachant que la Russie avait voté les sanctions du Conseil de Sécurité de l'ONU contre son voisin à la suite de son premier essai nucléaire en 2006. Pyongyang « mise ainsi sur la volonté de Pékin et Moscou de bousculer l'ordre mondial dominé par les États-Unis. » « Son but est de devenir une puissance nucléaire comparable à celle de la France », souligne un chercheur. Ainsi, un ex-diplomate nord-coréen qui a fait défection en 2016  analyse la stratégie de Kim Jung-un dans l'Express : « La Corée du Nord est convaincue que si elle prouve que ses armes nucléaires peuvent détruire le territoire américain, les États-Unis finiront par venir à négocier. Pyongyang pourrait alors proposer de démanteler les installations capables de cibler les États-Unis. En échange, ceux-ci retireraient leurs troupes de Corée du Sud et leurs sanctions. » La Finlande face à Poutine Moscou et Pyongyang se sont donc rapprochés à l'occasion de la guerre en Ukraine, tandis que la Finlande, elle, se prépare au pire. Au pire, c'est-à-dire à la guerre contre la Russie. Membre de l'Otan, la Finlande partage la plus longue frontière terrestre avec Moscou. Un envoyé spécial du Point raconte l'état d'esprit des Finlandais qui peuvent notamment apercevoir le paysage russe depuis leur maison. « S'ils envoient des drones, ma maison sera la première à exploser » témoigne une certaine Saara Wilhems, depuis son cottage en bois. Après avoir entendu un hélicoptère tournoyer toute une nuit, elle raconte qu'au matin, en ouvrant sa voiture, elle comprend qu'une présence étrangère rodait : le siège de sa voiture est baissé. Pour elle, c'est sûr, une personne « cherchait à se cacher ». Elle « connaît la rumeur. Cette fois, elle est convaincue que des agents russes pénètrent en Finlande par les forêts et les lacs. » La Finlande, disposerait de près d'un million de réservistes, « parmi lesquels 280 000 hommes équipés et prêts à combattre. Un record en Europe pour une nation de 5 millions et demi d'habitants ». Le service militaire connaît un certain succès. Il est obligatoire pour les hommes, volontaire pour les femmes, et un tiers de la population se dit favorable au service universel. La Finlande dispose aussi du plus vaste réseau de bunkers en Europe, de quoi accueillir 87 % de la population.

L'offensiva russa si sta concentrando con forza su Pokrovsk, roccaforte del Donetsk strategica per la prima linea difensiva di Kiev. Mosca ha riferito che l'esercito ucraino, circondato, ha iniziato ad arrendersi e ha fornito testimonianze dei militari fatti prigionieri.

We also investigate an alleged Russian war crime in Donetsk and what it exposes about the brutal nature of the fighting there, before exploring why NATO nations continue to pour vast resources into tank production and modernisation.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Memphis Barker (Senior Foreign Correspondent). @memphisbarker on X.Hamish de Bretton-Gordon (Chemical Weapons Expert and former Tank Commander). @hamishdbg on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

Dr. Jerome Corsi unpacks his latest article in American Thinker — where he argues that President Donald Trump holds the power to force a decisive end to the Ukraine-Russia war by shifting America's stance and leveraging diplomatic pressure.

Join Saul David and Roger Moorhouse as they break down a week of diplomatic upheaval, and look at the latest from the front lines with a report from Hungarian war reporter Boldi Gyori, recently returned from Donetsk. Hopes for a quick peace vanished after the US-Russia Budapest summit was scuttled by Moscow's refusal to freeze the front lines. The hosts analyse the shifting politics surrounding long-range missiles: why President Trump withheld Tomahawks, and why Washington seemingly green-lit a major Ukrainian Storm Shadow missile strike on a critical Russian chemical plant. On the home front, we examine new Western sanctions hitting Russia's oil and gas giants, reports of horrific war crimes against civilians in Donetsk and Kharkiv, and the long-term future of Ukrainian air power with the massive Swedish deal for up to 150 advanced Gripen E fighter jets.

Los asalto rusos se intensifican con el uso masivo de blindados, motocicletas de incursión y artillería pesada, mientras las fuerzas ucranianas intentan contener el avance en condiciones extremas. En este nuevo episodio de Frente de Batalla, José María Rodríguez y Francisco García Campa analizan con rigor la crítica situación en Pokrovsk, las implicaciones militares de las últimas ofensivas rusas y el colapso logístico en el eje del Donetsk. Pero la batalla no solo se libra en el campo: En el terreno diplomático, Donald Trump y Volodímir Zelensky mantienen una relación cada vez más tensa, marcada por la incertidumbre de la futura ayuda militar estadounidense. Mientras tanto, la reunión en Budapest entre Putin y Trump ha sido cancelada sine die, desatando especulaciones sobre un posible bloqueo en las negociaciones indirectas para una tregua o acuerdo de garantías de seguridad. ¿Qué significa este movimiento para el equilibrio del conflicto? ¿Está Trump buscando marcar distancias antes de asumir una posición formal sobre Ucrania? ¿O es una maniobra rusa para ganar tiempo antes del invierno?

Källor till Washington Post uppger att Vladimir Putin i ett samtal med Trump krävt att Ukraina ska avstå Donetsk för att få slut på kriget. Trump säger nu att Ryssland ska få behålla de områden man redan ockuperat. Vad innebär det? Kommer Trump ändra sig igen – och kan Zelenskyj tänka sig att ge upp delar av Ukraina för fred?

Day 1,335.Today, as the world digests the outcome of the White House meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, we examine why the lack of progress on Tomahawk missiles caught many observers off guard. We also explore the significance – if any – of Trump's planned talks with Vladimir Putin in Budapest, widely seen as part of the Kremlin's strategy to stall for time. Plus, we report on another slow weekend at the front, continued Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil and gas facilities, and hear from a leading professor on what it would take to achieve a genuine breakthrough in peace negotiations.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.With thanks to Professor Robert Person (Non-Resident Senior Fellow in the Foreign Policy Research Institute's Eurasia Program). @RTPerson3 on X.MORE TICKETS JUST RELEASED FOR 'UKRAINE: THE LATEST' LIVE, IN-PERSON:Join us for an in-person discussion and Q&A at the distinguished Honourable Artillery Company in London on 22nd October starting at 7pm.Our panel includes General Sir Richard Barrons, former head of UK Joint Forces Command and latterly one of the authors of Britain's Strategic Defence Review, and Orysia Lutsevych, head of the Ukraine Forum at the Chatham House think tank.

Depuis 2022, Maurine Mercier est correspondante en Ukraine. Pour la RTS, radio publique suisse francophone, elle produit un podcast nommé Carnets d'Ukraine. Le 11 octobre 2025, un de ses reportages a été récompensé au prix Bayeux Calvados-Normandie des correspondants de guerre. Maurine Mercier est l'invitée de L'atelier des médias. Lauréate du 1er prix radio au Prix Bayeux Calvados-Normandie des correspondants de guerre 2025 pour son reportage « Pokrovsk de fleurs dans les ruines », Maurine Mercier a exprimé sa surprise. « Je ne pensais pas que le jury de Bayeux serait assez punk pour récompenser ce reportage » dans lequel deux Ukrainiennens racontent qu'elles « redécouvrent leur plaisir sexuel dans une ville qui se fait envahir », a-t-elle expliqué sur scène. Correspondante en Ukraine depuis 2022, Maurine Mercier explique que les récompenses comme celle-ci – c'est la 3e fois en quatre ans qu'elle reçoit le 1er prix à Bayeux – l'aident à défendre devant sa hiérarchie l'importance de couvrir les conflits qui durent, malgré la « news fatigue ». Elle met en garde contre le risque que l'Ukraine devienne un « trou noir » médiatique. De Salgado au rejet de l'envoyé spécial Née à Lausanne en 1981, Maurine Mercier se souvient avoit été marquée à l'âge de six ans par une exposition du photographe brésilien Sebastião Salgado : un « déclic » pour « aller voir le monde ». Elle se souvient de la leçon que Salgado lui a donnée lors d'une interview : « Tu ne regardes pas assez bien. » Après avoir appris son métier à la télévision locale TVRL, elle entre à la RTS en 2012. Mais le rôle d'envoyée spéciale ne luit convient pas. Elle préfère « rester des années dans un pays pour être sûre de dire le moins de bêtises possible ». Aussi, en 2016, elle part s'installer à Tunis pour couvrir l'Afrique du Nord, principalement la Libye. Elle y restera six ans. Carnets d'Ukraine : le format « note vocale » Lorsque l'invasion à grande échelle de l'Ukraine éclate en 2022, Maurine Mercier est en Tunisie. Sa première expérience de zone de guerre remonte à 2014, lorsqu'elle s'était « autoprojetée » à Donetsk. Elle livre un « bras de fer » pour convaincre la RTS de l'envoyer en Ukraine, où elle s'installe durablement en août 2022. En février 2024, elle lance Carnets d'Ukraine, diffusé d'abord en radio sur la RTS. Avec une « écriture podcast » basée sur des pastilles au format « note vocale », afin de créer de la proximité avec les auditeurs. Pour la première fois, elle s'autorise l'emploi du « je » pour décrire ses émotions, car « mon je, en fait, c'est vous ».  Être une femme journaliste en zone de conflit Être une femme est « toujours un avantage » sur le terrain, affirme Maurine Mercier. Elle prend l'exemple de la Libye, où les reporters masculins, ne pouvant entrer dans les maisons, sont privés d'échange avec la moitié de la population. En Ukraine, cela permet des « dialogues » plus profonds avec les soldats, car elle leur rappelle leurs proches. Maurine Mercier mentionne aussi Artem, son ami et fixeur, et avec qui l'humour est leur « médicament antidouleur ». Honnêteté et nécessité d'être à la hauteur Sa frustration professionnelle est de ne couvrir la guerre russe en Ukraine que depuis un seul côté car elle n'obtient pas de réponse à ses demandes pour aller dans les territoires ukrainiens occupés. Elle soutient qu'une guerre « ça se couvre de toutes parts », car c'est une manière de rétablir le dialogue et de dénoncer l'absurdité de la propagande. L'honnêteté est fondamentale pour le pacte de confiance avec le public, rappelle Maurine Mercier pour qui il est essentiel de montrer que l'Ukraine est complexe, ne pas omettre la corruption et les divisions. Elle conclut son intervention en espérant que ses reportages « puissent permettre à des jeunes [...] de faire quelque chose pour bâtir la paix, la démocratie », soulignant que les Européens doivent être « à la hauteur de ce qu'[ils] prétend[ent] défendre ».

En Ukraine, alors que la population est appelée à quitter de nouvelles communes de la région de Donetsk, des dizaines de milliers d'Ukrainiens toujours sur place vivent sous les frappes russes devenues quotidiennes et une situation humanitaire qui se dégrade. À Sloviansk, l'une des deux dernières grandes agglomérations encore libres du Donbass, avec Kramatorsk, sa ville jumelle, la dernière maternité encore ouverte de la région continue à recevoir et à accoucher des dizaines de patientes chaque mois, malgré la situation qui se dégrade quotidiennement, et la proximité du front. De notre envoyée spéciale à Slaviansk, En arrivant dans la maternité de Sloviansk, le calme des couloirs d'hôpital est frappant, il semble désert, et pour cause : au moment de ce tournage, les bébés et leur maman sont tous rentrés chez eux, car des bombes planantes sont tombées à trois reprises à quelques dizaines de mètres seulement de l'hôpital. « Notre maternité est la seule encore active de la partie non occupée de la région de Donetsk à l'heure actuelle. Nous travaillons dans des conditions difficiles, des bombardements constants, surtout aujourd'hui, explique Volodymyr Ivanenko, 69 ans, directeur de l'hôpital. (...) Dans la situation actuelle, on peut prendre des mesures d'évacuation, c'est-à-dire renvoyer chez elles les patientes qui peuvent l'être. Le personnel restant est à son poste pour fournir tous les soins médicaux nécessaires. » Malgré les ordres d'évacuation répétés issus par les autorités, la patientèle continue d'affluer, et avec elle, les naissances dans cette ville si proche de la ligne de front : « En cas d'évacuation de la population, bien sûr que les actes médicaux diminueront également, mais regardez : avant la guerre, nous avions plus de cent naissances par mois, et maintenant, nous en avons quarante. » Anastasia Yevgenovna, cheffe du département de néonatologie, explique pourquoi les naissances sont toujours nombreuses : « Beaucoup de femmes ne veulent pas quitter la ville, et il y a aussi celles qui viennent d'autres régions d'Ukraine, car leur mari sont soldats ici. » C'est le cas de Dasha, 22 ans et future maman, qui précise : « Je pense que c'est très important, c'est une bonne chose qu'il y ait des gynécologues qui restent en ville, car les militaires se déplacent désormais d'une ville à l'autre, et parfois avec leurs proches. » « Il y a davantage de pathologies chez les femmes Pourtant, si la vie continue d'être donnée si près du front, la guerre a des conséquences directes sur la santé des mères et de leurs enfants : « Il y a davantage de pathologies chez les femmes, d'abord le stress, puis toutes ces substances qui se retrouvent dans l'environnement à cause des munitions, dont on ne sait pas ce qu'elles contiennent... Et des enfants trisomiques qui, pour une raison ou une autre, ne se sont pas présentés, car leurs mères n'étaient pas enregistrées, viennent des villages proches de la ligne de front, où les combats font rage, et disent ne pas avoir la possibilité de se rendre à la clinique prénatale » Depuis cet été, la situation humanitaire s'est considérablement dégradée dans l'ensemble de la région de Donetsk. Malgré le danger, les femmes enceintes peuvent encore y donner la vie dans un cadre médicalisé, mais si la maternité de Sloviansk fermait ses portes, elles ne pourraient plus bénéficier d'un suivi médical adéquat.

This week on Battleground Ukraine, hosts Saul David and Roger Moorhouse are joined by intrepid Belgian war reporter and friend of the podcast Arnaud de Decker, who recently toured the Donbas. In this crucial and alarming dispatch, Arnaud provides a firsthand look at the realities in Donetsk, detailing how Russian forces are steadily advancing and closing in on the key Ukrainian towns of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk. Before this essential interview, the hosts dissect the political and military headlines, including the shocking rhetoric from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who all but admitted Russia's role in drone sightings across Europe. They'll also be examining the difference between the opposing forces' long-range strikes—including Ukraine's successful hits on vital Russian oil infrastructure (like the Feodosia oil terminal), possibly using the new Flamingo missile, and an intelligence report on up to 5,000 Cuban fighters joining the Russian ranks.

In the Indo-Pacific, China expanded restrictions on rare earth exports and added sanctions against foreign defense companies, while North Korea celebrated the 80th anniversary of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea's founding. In the Russia/Ukraine conflict, both countries continued to attack each other's energy infrastructure, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported successful ongoing operations in a counteroffensive in the Donetsk region. In the U.S., Trump called for Illinois Governor JB Pritzker to be imprisoned following the deployment of 500 National Guard troops to the state.

It's Monday, October 6, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Muslims decapitated or shot 30 Christians in Mozambique, Africa Over 30 Christians were beheaded in a series of recent attacks in northern Mozambique, Africa by Islamic State-affiliated terrorists who also released graphic photographs showing the executions, shootings, and widespread arson, reports The Christian Post. The group targeted multiple villages across Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces, setting fire to churches and homes in a campaign of violence against civilians. According to The Middle East Media Research Institute, the Islamic State Mozambique group released a 20-image photoset this week, documenting its operatives executing civilians by beheading and close-range gunfire, and burning down homes and churches. The Mozambican insurgency, active since 2017, has led to the deaths of at least 6,200 people. In Deuteronomy 32:35, God says, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time, their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near, and their doom rushes upon them.” The United Nations estimates that more than 1 million people in northern Mozambique have been displaced since the conflict began, due to a combination of militant violence, prolonged drought and extreme weather events. Open Doors ranks Mozambique, Africa as the 37th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Nigerian Muslims killed kidnapped pastor after receiving ransom Armed Muslim groups in Kwara State, Nigeria killed a local pastor after abducting him and receiving ransom payments from his community, reports International Christian Concern. Rev. James Issa, a pastor with the Evangelical Church Winning All, was taken from Ekati village on August 28.  His abductors initially demanded $67,000. Weeks of negotiations followed, with family members, church leaders, and villagers contributing funds to secure his release.  The community raised $3,300, a sum far beyond the means of the rural community. The money was delivered to the kidnappers, but instead of releasing the pastor, the armed group demanded an additional $30,000. Before any further talks could take place, they killed Rev. Issa.  Netanyahu demands release of all 48 hostages in order to end war On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that no part of U.S. President Donald Trump's peace plan will be enacted until all 48 hostages, alive and dead, are returned to Israeli territory, reports The Jerusalem Post. Additionally, Netanyahu stated that if the hostages are not released by Trump's deadline, "Israel will resume fighting with full backing from all involved countries." However, speaking to Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, President Trump told Netanyahu, “Bibi, this is your chance for victory.”  Currently, there is no set deadline for the hostage release, although negotiations to finalize the plan are set to begin in Cairo, Egypt today. An anonymous source told the Jerusalem Post that (a) Hamas, the Muslim terrorist group, is committed to reaching an agreement to end the war in the Gaza Strip and (b) the release of the hostages will be carried out gradually over several days through the International Red Cross. Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared on NBC's “Meet the Press” with Kristen Welker. WELKER: “I want to start with these peace negotiations in the Middle East. Is this now the end of the war in Gaza?” RUBIO: “Well, not yet. There's some work remains to be done, and I would view it in two phases, in terms of understanding how to break this out. “The first piece of it, which is very clear from the letter in Hamas' response, is they have agreed to the President's hostage release framework. And what needs to happen now, and they acknowledge in the letter in their response, is there now needs to be meetings which are occurring, even as I speak to you now, and hopefully will be finalized very quickly on the logistics of that. “What that means is, who goes in to get them? Is it the Red Cross? You know, when do they show up? What place are they going to be? And the conditions have to be created for that to happen. You can't have bombs going off and fighting going on in the middle of this exchange. So, that's piece one. And we want to see that happen as soon as possible, all 48 hostages, both living and deceased. “The second part of it, it's even harder, and that is the long term piece. What happens after Israel pulls back to the yellow line, and potentially beyond that, as this thing develops? How do you create this Palestinian technocratic leadership that's not Hamas, that's not terrorists, and with the help of the international community? “How do you disarm any sort of terrorist groups that are going to be building tunnels and conducting attacks against Israel? How do you get them to demobilize? All that work -- that's going to be hard. But that's critical, because without that, you're not going to have lasting peace. You may get the hostages back, you may get a cessation of hostilities, but in the long term, it's going to happen all over again.” Hero Ukrainian soldier kills 27 Russian troops A heroic Ukrainian warrior killed 27 Russian soldiers singlehandedly while defending two bridges surrounded by enemy forces, reports The U.S. Sun. Rus spent over seven weeks crouched in a putrid-smelling basement protecting the crossings -- armed with nothing more than a firearm and pure grit. The valiant soldier has been recommended for the Hero of Ukraine medal, the country's highest military honor, for his brave work. He personally killed 27 Kremlin forces - steadfast in his defense of the crossings in Dopropilia, in Ukraine's Donetsk region. Speaking to The Times, he recalled the grim reality of spending almost two months taking cover in a gloomy basement as Russian drones buzzed overhead.  He could only use the toilet "at dusk or at dawn" over fears of being struck and for seven weeks only washed with baby wipes. First-ever woman becomes Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally has been chosen as the new Anglican archbishop of Canterbury, marking the first time a woman has been named to the highest ecclesiastical position in the Anglican Church, reports LifeSiteNews.com. In 1 Timothy 2:12, the Apostle Paul wrote, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.” The seat of the archbishop of Canterbury had been vacant since January 7, 2025, when Archbishop Justin Welby resigned due to allegations of mishandling an abuse case involving John Smyth who beat Winchester Boarding School students until they bled, leaving permanent scars. MarketWatch: 22 states already in recession And finally, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, the U.S. economy is very close to falling into a damaging contraction. Many states are already experiencing a recession. Zandi estimates that 22 states, plus the District of Columbia, are now experiencing persistent economic weakness and job losses that are likely to continue. Another 13 states are treading water. The overall picture is one of a weak U.S. economy that is vulnerable to being pushed into a ditch by a strong wind. The economist added, “The economy is still not in recession, but the risks are very high. We're on the precipice.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 6th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

En première partie, nous voici en Ukraine aujourd'hui. C'est la guerre ouverte, violente, guerre de conquête à coups de chars, de drones, de missiles depuis plus de 3 ans et demi. Donetsk perdue, Kramatorsk est devenue de fait la capitale du Donbass ukrainien, elle voit le front se rapprocher. À vol d'oiseau, il est à une quinzaine de kilomètres et la ville elle-même est régulièrement bombardée. Face aux grignotages incessants du territoire par les forces russes, cette question est de plus en plus prégnante pour les Ukrainiens. Partir ou rester ? La Russie contrôle plus de 70% de la région de Donetsk et la quasi-totalité de celle de Louhansk, elle veut aller plus loin, de gré ou de force. Une perspective redoutée, mais espérée également par certains... En seconde partie d'émission, la réunification allemande, 35 ans après, que reste-t-il de la RDA, l'Allemagne de l'Est, un reportage de Nathalie Versieux.  Est de l'Ukraine, lâcher du terrain ou combattre jusqu'au bout ? Plus de trois ans et demi après la percée des chars russes et 11 ans après le début du conflit, Kramatorsk, devenue de fait la capitale du Donbass ukrainien, voit le front se rapprocher. Les premiers combats sont à une quinzaine de km à vol d'oiseau et la ville elle-même est régulièrement bombardée. Partir ou rester ? La question se fait de plus en plus pressante pour de nombreux habitants de la partie du Donbass sous contrôle ukrainien. À mesure que le front se rapproche, et avec lui, les destructions, des centaines de personnes sont obligées de prendre la route de l'exil.  La Russie contrôle plus de 70% de la région de Donetsk et la quasi-totalité de celle de Louhansk. Elle cherche à s'emparer de la totalité de ce territoire par la force ou la négociation. Une perspective terriblement redoutée mais espérée aussi par certains, alors que les conditions de vie se dégradent chaque jour un peu plus. Un Grand reportage d'Anastasia Becchio et Julien Boileau qui s'entretiennent avec Jacques Allix. Réunification allemande: 35 ans plus tard, que reste-t-il de la RDA? 3 octobre 1990. L'Allemagne divisée depuis 1949 est désormais réunifiée, un peu moins d'un an après l'ouverture du Mur de Berlin en novembre 1989. Fin de 40 ans de partition du pays. 35 ans plus tard, que reste-t-il de l'ex-RDA ? À Berlin, des quantités de traces ont disparu, notamment de nombreux symboles politiques du régime. En province, le passé est-allemand est souvent plus visible. Aujourd'hui, une nouvelle génération semble redécouvrir la valeur architecturale et artistique de la RDA. Mais le débat reste vivace. L'ouest de l'Allemagne ne cède rien de son rejet du communisme. Et l'est du pays dénonce une forme de colonialisation par ses colocataires de l'Ouest. Un Grand reportage de Nathalie Versieux qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

What do Aberdeen need to do to turn around their torrid form?JJ Bull, Michael Grant, and Glen Schreuder join Martin Dowden to take a close look at all things Aberdeen.Why are they unable to score a goal? What needs to change tactically to turn it around for Jimmy Thelin? What can they expect from their Conference League opener with Shakhtar Donetsk? And are the fans still united behind their Scottish Cup-winning manager?

Graham is back as we look back on a kind of improved(ish) performance in the first half at Fir Park before the Dons manage to contrive to throw away at least a point in the closing stages.  Was this enough to give us hope that Jimmy might be willing to change or is it just prolonging the obvious?   We are joined by Dima Prasolov of The Miner's Weekly to give us the lowdown on our Ukranian opponents as the Conference League kicks off on Thursday night at Pittodrie.   Become a paid subscriber over at abzfootballpodcast.com   Follow us on our social media channels:-   Twitter - @AbzPodcast Facebook - @ABZFootballPodcast Instagram - @abzfootballpodcast

Russian troops have made incremental gains in parts of eastern Ukraine, although their advances elsewhere have stalled. Also, as part of a cultural initiative to counter the influence of narco-corridos, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's government is hosting “México Canta” or “Mexico Sings,” a national songwriting contest designed to promote nonviolent musical expressions. And, the World Bank is sending $4 billion to Argentina ahead of schedule, attempting to stabilize the country's cratering economy. Plus, Chicago has a long history with organized crime. Its most famous — or infamous — mob boss was Al Capone. But it wasn't just Italian families that worked in Chicago's underworld. Decades ago, two rival Chinese gangs ran amok in the city, but they were able to fly under the radar. Listen to today's Music Heard on Air. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

    CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW SCHEDULE 1957 9-15-25 GOOD EVENING.  THE SHOW BEGINS IN TROUBLED AMERICA... FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: Global Allies Worry About US Division, Adversaries Exploit Weakness GUEST AND TITLE: Ambassador Husain Haqqani, Hudson Institute Director of Eurasia Project; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies SUMMARY: Ambassador Husain Haqqani states US allies are "very worried" by American internal division and extreme rhetoric, unlike past unity. Bill Roggio notes similar European issues, but the US now seems to lead in domestic disorder. Adversaries like China, Russia, and Islamist extremists exploit this polarization, using social media manipulation and citing Western decline. Both emphasize leaders must reduce aggressive rhetoric, promote bipartisan cooperation, and control social media to heal divisions, advocating for unity to counter external exploitation and domestic radicalization. 915-930 HEADLINE: Global Allies Worry About US Division, Adversaries Exploit Weakness GUEST AND TITLE: Ambassador Husain Haqqani, Hudson Institute Director of Eurasia Project; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies 930-945 HEADLINE: Political Crises Deepen in Brazil and Venezuela Amidst US Pressure GUEST AND TITLE: Alejandro Peña Esclusa, Venezuelan writer and thinker; Ernesto Araújo, former Foreign Minister of the Republic of Brazil SUMMARY: Ernesto Araújo discusses former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's conviction for an alleged assassination plot, calling it a "show trial" despite a dissenting judge's opinion. He notes Bolsonaro's failed anti-system movement. Alejandro Peña Esclusa reports a US military buildup near Venezuela, fostering internal military discussions about turning in Maduro. Both believe their countries' fates are linked; Venezuela's liberation could expose a crime network, potentially delegitimizing Lula's regime and fostering broader Latin American freedom 945-1000 HEADLINE: Political Crises Deepen in Brazil and Venezuela Amidst US Pressure GUEST AND TITLE: Alejandro Peña Esclusa, Venezuelan writer and thinker; Ernesto Araújo, former Foreign Minister of the Republic of Brazil SUMMARY: Ernesto Araújo discusses former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's conviction for an alleged assassination plot, calling it a "show trial" despite a dissenting judge's opinion.

Israel responded with strikes on Houthi military and media infrastructure in Sana'a, causing civilian casualties. US Treasury sanctioned 32 Houthi-affiliated individuals/entities for supporting Iranian-backed smuggling networks. Toomey confirms Iran absolutely provides weapons, mostly via ship routes, despite interdiction efforts. She notes Houthis are undeterred, fueled by past attacks, and will likely continue unless Iran is held accountable. Bill Roggio critiques a recent, unsuccessful Israeli strike in Doha. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: Houthis Remain Undeterred Despite Israeli Strikes and US Sanctions GUEST AND TITLE: Bridget Toomey, Foundation for Defense of Democracies Houthi Watcher; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies SUMMARY: Bridget Toomey reports Houthis continue daily drone and missile launches towards Israel, with Israeli Iron Dome defenses proving effective.

Tan claims Yoon aligns with the Chinese Communist Party and North Korea, dismantling counterintelligence and attending parades with Putin and Kim Jong-un. He reports Chinese nationals, pro-Yoon, illegally voted, and a third of South Korean police are reportedly CCP operatives. Yoon'sapproval is low, with most Koreans distrusting the CCP and prioritizing the US alliance. 1045-1100 HEADLINE: China's Advanced Weapon Systems and Global Asteroid Defense Ambitions GUEST AND TITLE: Rick Fisher, Senior Fellow, International Assessment and Strategy Center; Gordon Chang, author and geopolitical analyst SUMMARY: Rick Fisher discusses China's new DF-26D ballistic missile, capable of intercepting aircraft carriers up to 4,000 km, and other advanced unmanned weapon systems surpassing US capabilities. Gordon Chang questions US defense against these hypersonic threats. Fisher notes Russia's Energia space program faces financial distress due to the Ukraine war. China proposes an international asteroid defense, inviting global participation. Fisher warns this PLA-controlled initiative could be a front to develop anti-satellite capabilities and challenge the US in future conflicts. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: Ukraine Advances in Sumy, NATO Urged to Boost Russia Sanctions GUEST AND TITLE: John Hardie, Foundation for Defense of Democracies; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of DemocraciesSUMMARY: John Hardie discusses Ukrainian advances in the Sumy border area, noting Russia has redeployed better units to other regions like Donetsk, focusing on areas near Pokrovsk. He suggests Ukraine's counterattacks are part of an active defense, and their focus on Pokrovsk is strategically sound despite manpower shortages. Hardie highlights recent massive Russian drone barrages, including one into Poland, as a "wake-up call" for NATO to improve cost-effective air defenses. He advocates for stronger US secondary sanctions on Russian oil revenue and untying Ukraine's hands for long-range strikes. 1115-1130 HEADLINE: Ukraine Advances in Sumy, NATO Urged to Boost Russia Sanctions GUEST AND TITLE: John Hardie, Foundation for Defense of Democracies; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies130-1145 HEADLINE: MIT Professor Explains the Discovery of Ionic Liquid, Expanding Search for Extraterrestrial Life GUEST AND TITLE: Professor Sara Seager, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; David Livingston, Dr. Space of the Space Show SUMMARY: Professor Sara Seager discusses the accidental lab discovery of ionic liquids, a non-evaporating liquid salt potentially sustaining life on planets without water, expanding the traditional "habitable zone" concept. She envisions future missions like a Solar Gravitational Lens Telescope. For her lifetime, Professor Seager prioritizes privately funded "Morning Star missions" to Venus, beginning with Rocket Lab in 2026, to directly study its cloud particles for signs of life in this overlooked sister planet.1145-1200 HEADLINE: MIT Professor Explains the Discovery of Ionic Liquid, Expanding Search for Extraterrestrial Life GUEST AND TITLE: Professor Sara Seager, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; David Livingston, Dr. Space of the Space Show SUMMARY: Professor Sara Seager discusses the accidental lab discovery of ionic liquids, a non-evaporating liquid salt potentially sustaining life on planets without water, expanding the traditional "habitable zone" concept.

Despite the failure, she believes Israel's defense capabilities and past decapitation efforts were incredible, fostering public resolve against terrorism. Kissel notes Qatar's role as a money-laundering center and host of terror groups, despite its strategic importance to the US. She emphasizes that Iran, the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, remains defiant regarding its nuclear and missile programs, posing an ongoing challenge for Israel and the US.1215-1230 Guest Names: Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio Summary: Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio discuss Al-Sharaa, the self-named president of Syria, who was appointed by militia leaders. His loyalist-drafted constitution grants him extensive powers, with key ministries held by former HTScommanders, and minority representatives serving as mere tokens. Formal Name: Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio, Foundation for the Defense of Democracies 1230-1245 HEADLINE: Genocide Allegations Against Israel Debunked by Expert Analysis GUEST AND TITLE: Peter Berkowitz, Tad and Diane Taube Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution at Stanford University SUMMARY: Peter Berkowitz debunks genocide allegations against Israel, emphasizing the UN definition requires intent to destroy a group. He questions the credibility of the International Association of Genocide Scholars. Berkowitz highlights the absurdity, noting the Palestinian population tripled since the 1980s despite such claims. He attributes propaganda success to Hamas's use of human shields, shifting responsibility for civilian casualties. A comprehensive report systematically refutes claims of deliberate starvation, civilian targeting, and infrastructure bombing, demonstrating Israel's precautions.1245-100 AM HEADLINE: Genocide Allegations Against Israel Debunked by Expert Analysis GUEST AND TITLE: Peter Berkowitz, Tad and Diane Taube Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution at Stanford University SUMMARY: Peter Berkowitz debunks genocide allegations against Israel, emphasizing the UN definition require

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: As Moscow ramps up its aerial attacks on Kyiv, Russia is massing 100,000 troops in Donetsk, fueling fears that a major new offensive may be imminent. President Trump vows harsher sanctions on Russia after this weekend's strikes on the Ukrainian capital—but questions remain about whether he'll follow through. One of the deadliest shootings in Jerusalem in years leaves six people dead and dozens wounded, with Hamas quickly claiming responsibility. And in today's Back of the Brief—a warning system breakdown allows a Houthi drone to strike an Israeli airport, forcing a shutdown and injuring two.

Vladimir Putin is reported to have told President Trump that he wants Ukraine to hand over more of its sovereign territory in the east, in return for Moscow freezing front lines elsewhere. According to sources involved in Friday's talks in Alaska, the Russian president said it should gain all of Ukraine's Donetsk and Luhansk regions, including parts that Ukraine currently controls. Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has said he will not give up sovereignty of any territory. On Monday, he is due to meet the US President Donald Trump in Washington.
