"The price for keeping the dialogue (with the U.S.) cannot be the sovereignty of Ukraine, which this plan undermines altogether," Inna Sovsun, a lawmaker from the opposition Holos party, told the Kyiv Independent.

I’ve said this every month for a year.
Trump’s peace proposal includes using frozen Russian assets, mostly held in Belgium, for U.S.-led reconstruction, with 50% of profits going to the U.S. This enraged EU diplomats, who fear it jeopardizes a proposed EU loan to Ukraine. A senior EU politician said: “Witkoff needs to see a psychiatrist”

The European Commission has banned the issuance of multi-entry Schengen visas to Russian citizens. From now on, they’ll need to apply for a new single-entry visa each time they travel to the EU, a move aimed at tightening security checks and minimizing risks across Europe.

The German government has updated its fact sheet on bilateral assistance for #Ukraine and its citizens. Between the 15th of June 2025 and the 30th of September 2025, Germany spent another €2.13 billion on Ukraine aid, without including the now unknown defence expenditure.

Ukrainian drones struck the Kostroma GRES power plant in Volgorechensk overnight, Russia’s third most powerful thermal power station. With an installed capacity of 3,600 MW, the facility is a key part of the Russian energy system. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed.
We'll see if they can strike one of those power plants or switchyards closer to the air defense ring around Moscow...
Commander of unmanned systems Robert 'Magyar' Brovdi reports a Shahed storage, assembly, and launch base was destroyed in occupied Donetsk. The strike followed months of intelligence work by SSO, artillery, and recon units of the 414th Brigade, culminating in a precision operation overnight.
I believe that is the first strike here? It's nice to see them work the power/grid in the northeast of Moscow...
