As expected Ukrainian President Zelenskyy didn’t even consider the Russian-Trump „proposal“, refusing to even talk to Witkoff. It is basically the same ridiculous wishlist Putin has unsuccessfully put forward again and again. Instead Zelenskyy met his Turkish counterpart, President Erdogan, with a true ceasefire proposal.

Turkish president Erdogan once again emphasized that Türkiye unconditionally respects the Ukrainian territorial integrity and underlined the special bond the Turkish people has with the Crimean-Tatar people on the Russian-occupied Ukrainian peninsula, which is once again subject to Russian oppression.

Reuters confirms Kellogg will step down in January, taking with him one of Kyiv’s few reliable voices in Washington. He pushed back on Moscow’s narratives and clashed with Witkoff over his tilted proposals, but grew frustrated with an administration unwilling to pressure Russia. Another big win for Dmitriev and Witkoff. Putin is laughing right now.


In Ternopil the death toll has risen to 26, with 93 wounded after the Russian strike. Rescuers and police will continue working through the night, searching for the 26 people still missing, including three children.


The Kremlin responds cynically to Erdogan’s comments on the Istanbul process, claiming Moscow is open to talks and that the pause happened because the “Kyiv regime” refused to continue the dialogue. A familiar line from Peskov, ignoring who has been bombing cities every day since.

Trump says he’s “a little disappointed in Putin” and calls the war he thought would be the easiest to end the hardest. He speaks this way about a war criminal who kills civilians with missiles, allows prisoners to be executed and abducts children by the thousands.

What a fool.

The situation around Kupyansk is brutal right now, a real hell on the ground. Fighting remains fluid but Ukrainian forces have managed to push back and retake several areas north and northeast of the city, slowing the Russian advance and stabilising parts of the line.


Trump‘s decisive defeat in reference to the Epstein case will force Putin‘s hand to extract from Trump possible concessions as soon and fast as possible. Putin and his circle will most certainly fear that Trump‘s time could come to an end faster than thought. Expect this.

Ukraine on the other hand will likely refuse anything unfavorable, both for the very same reason and because nothing what was talked about so far is any way realistic.

Trump will soon have a full time job trying to fight anything coming from the Epstein case. Then, nothing else will matter to him, until the very end.

RBC Ukraine reports that Washington is pushing Zelensky to accept a US Russia “framework deal” that includes recognising all occupied territories, including Crimea, and restricting long range strikes so Ukraine cannot hit Russia. The plan was likely drafted with Putin’s envoy Dmitriev, who is said to be pleased, but sources say Ukrainians will not accept it as pressure on Zelensky grows.


In Ternopil the number of wounded has risen to 92, including 18 children. Authorities also confirm 25 killed. Emergency crews are still working at the site as rescue operations continue through the night.


The plan would even demand that Russian be recognised as an official state language in Ukraine and that the local branch of the Russian Orthodox Church receive official status, echoing long standing Kremlin political goals.

That is going to be a no.

Sky News lays it out clearly: Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff is heavily swayed by Moscow and out of his depth in political negotiations. Analyst Michael Clarke says Putin ally Kirill Dmitriev began working on Witkoff after the first serious US sanctions, pushing him toward a familiar narrative that Russia is winning and only wants Donbas. He still doesn’t grasp the difference between an economic deal and a political one, which is why the Russians find him useful.


FT reveals new details about a 28 point peace plan drafted by US and Russian officials that was quietly pushed to Kyiv. The framework would demand major territorial concessions in Donbas, a dramatic cut to Ukraine’s military, limits on key weapons and a rollback of US support. People familiar with the document say it leans heavily toward Moscow’s position, with Kyiv calling it a non starter in its current form.
