My take: Putin gave up nothing by releasing a 74-year-old American held as a pawn for this type of moment. Putin is not a humanitarian, despite how Mr Witkoff addressed him. And whereas President Trump says he gave up nothing for Stephen Hubbard's release, you will hear all the experts correctly say that he did: busting his own sanctions for a diesel deal with Putin that could put $4 billion into his war chest; inviting Putin to the G20; and dumping Putin's victim, Ukraine, face down in the mud, as it tries to defend its sovereignty and its freedom. You’ve heard the historians call all this appeasement, going against America's own democratic values. nytimes.com/2026/10/21/us/po…

In a defiant interview with the FT, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Donald Trump had an instinctive affinity for autocrats and the super-wealthy. The Ukrainian president explained his views on the relationship between the US and Russian heads of state ft.trib.al/u7fXLMI

We express concern on the violent escalation at the protest in Tirana. Freedom of assembly and expression are fundamental rights and core European values. They should be respected and exercised peacefully. We take note of the allegations of excessive violence by the police against protestors and journalists. We expect police action to be proportionate and respect fundamental rights and expect these cases to be investigated as a matter of priority. ⁠ We encourage all sides to de-escalate the tension. Constructive dialogue between all stakeholders is the only way forward.

Italian PM Meloni on the Russian diesel deal: The outcome of this decision is doubtful, while the risks are clear: legitimizing Moscow while its bombs continue to fall on Ukrainian cities, financing its war, and weakening sanctions. These elements contradict what Western countries, including the United States, have done so far to push Putin to the negotiating table.

This live shot was after @betsy_klein's third attempt to access the White House grounds today:
At 1am ET, a judge ordered the Trump admin to restore White House access to CNN, MS NOW and Politico. As of 9am, CNN correspondent @betsy_klein has still not been allowed back to her workspace at the WH. "It appears that the White House may be in defiance of this court order..."

Questioned about the ProPublica reporting on a Russian oligarch paying for parts of Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding celebration, Todd Blanche says: "The president doesn't know who this person is. I think other members of the family don't know who this person is. The president's son said he is a very close friend....I don't know who this person is, either."
