Das russische Verteidigungsministerium verschiebt die Auszahlung der Gehälter und sonstigen Zulagen für Dezember an seine Mitarbeiter, die nicht am Krieg teilnehmen, auf Januar 2027. Dies ist das erste Mal seit 18 Jahren, dass es zu einer solchen Verschiebung kommt.

Vihreä siirtymä on aivan keskeinen osa Suomen ja Euroopan turvallisuuspolitiikkaa.
Tämä olisi pitänyt ymmärtää jo ajat sitten, ja varmistaa siirtymällä mahdollisimman laaja kansalaisten tuki. Poliittinen jarruttelu vain pahentaa tilannetta.
EU gas is above €90/MWh, its highest since Dec 2022. Brent is above $115, its highest since June 2022.
The EU has already paid €100bn+ extra for oil and gas since Hormuz closed. Not one extra molecule.
Best defence: electrify.

So the "peace talks" are just a cover for the business negotiations

New: The US and Russia are discussing bringing American oil majors back to Russia, reviving energy exports to Europe via the Druzhba pipeline and a host of other business deals as Washington seeks to entice Putin to end the war in Ukraine. as.ft.com/r/2349d7fb-66a0-43…
Saksasta entinen CDU-pomo Laschet kehuu Stubbin puhelinsoittoa Venäjälle.
Laschet tosin edustaa puolueensa pehmeän linjan puolta Venäjän suhteen.
Finnland 🇫🇮 und Norwegen 🇳🇴 gehören zu den engagiertesten Unterstützern der Ukraine. Mit einer 1300 kilometerlangen Grenze zu Russland ist sich Präsident @alexstubb der Bedrohungslage für sein Land bewusst. Und dennoch ist er fähig, sich aus der selbstverschuldeten Unmündigkeit der Spitzen der EU zu befreien und durch Diplomatie auf ein Ende des Krieges hinzuwirken. Die künftige Sicherheit Europas darf man nicht alleine amerikanischen Unterhändlern überlassen.

Spoke with President of Finland @alexstubb and Prime Minister of Norway @jonasgahrstore following their call today with the Russian leader and as a continuation of our discussions in Oslo with representatives of America, Europe, and NATO. I am grateful for the detailed briefing and for their active support for our diplomacy and the peace efforts we are pursuing together with all our partners.
Alex and Jonas made it clear to the Russian leader that real de-escalatory steps are needed regarding our energy and infrastructure. We discussed preparations for the trilateral meeting planned for November at the team level – Ukrainian, American, and Russian. Finland and Norway, as countries that border Russia, have a particular interest in sound and reliable security arrangements. We also discussed various formats for our engagement with partners in Europe that could be useful in further supporting diplomacy, our defense, and our shared security.
There must be peace, de-escalation is needed, and Russia must stop dragging out the war. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine!

#Europe must be at the table when peace in #Ukraine is negotiated - but not as a collection of fragmented voices. Any contact with Russia must be backed by a united position, real leverage and a list of European demands. Engaging with Putin one by one and without clear agenda has never worked for Europe. Not once.

ALT This infographic illustrates the funding sources for the 2026 US midterm elections. It presents a pie chart divided into three segments: $832 million from Democratic-aligned top donors, $1.67 billion from Republican-aligned top donors, and $264 million from special interest or bipartisan top donors. Notable individuals and organizations are depicted with their contributions. Key figures include George Soros, Charles Koch, and Elon Musk. The chart also notes a total contribution of $2.77 billion from the top 50 donors.

Just landed in Helsinki.
The Nordics are our closest allies, and our destinies are bound together, just as they were a thousand years ago. Thank you, Finland, and thank you to all our Nordic friends for everything you already do for Ukraine.
Today, I will meet with Finland’s high-level officials, my Finnish colleague @elinavaltonen, and colleagues from Norway and Denmark.
We will also have a separate trilateral format with the foreign ministers of Finland and Norway to discuss peace efforts and coordinate the decisions our leaders agreed in Oslo.
Tomorrow, I will address the Nordic Council session for the first time.
The priorities of our talks are set by Russia's daily terror. They are air defense to protect our skies this winter, equipment for our energy sector and shelters, where Finland leads the relevant coalition, and joint weapons production for our soldiers.

Yep. 0.000 inclination to budge
Mielenkiintoista tässä on tulevat Ranskan vaalit ja Saksan muuttunut sisäpoliittinen paine.
Halutaanko olla aloitteellinen ennen kuin Euroopan linja rakoilee lopullisesti?
Ja iloisesti yllätyn jos mitään todellista saadaan aikaan ennen Ranskan vaaleja.
