👀📄 Trump's son-in-law & real estate developer: Meet architects of US' Ukraine peace plan

According to The Wall Street Journal, the developers of the Trump administration's Ukraine peace plan were not career diplomats, but his most trusted insiders:

🔸 Special Envoy Steve Witkoff

🔸 Son-in-Law Jared Kushner

The report reveals that work on the first draft began in secret during their flight home from the Middle East, immediately following the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

👉 Secretary of State Marco Rubio received a copy of the plan during Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to Washington on November 18. Rubio was aware of the Witkoff–Kushner initiative, but didn’t know the full scope of what they had drafted, according to the WSJ.

Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov earlier stressed that there is currently “a lot of speculation” surrounding the US peace plan to end the Ukraine conflict, and that Russia relies on the version delivered through official channels. No substantive negotiations with Russia regarding the US plan have taken place, Ushakov added.

😁 Kim Dotcom sums up Ukraine in one photo

📍 Kim Dotcom, founder of Megaupload and Mega, has posted a photo an infamous golden toilet from a past corruption scandal.

💬 "Ukraine in one picture," he wrote on X, sparking a wave of reactions.

➖ His jab echoes recent criticism from Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, who said it was absurd that EU taxpayers’ money ends up funding “golden toilets” while Brussels prepares another €100 billion package for Kiev.

➖ Dotcom’s post followed fresh anti-corruption raids by Ukrainian anti-corruption agency NABU, which seized bags of foreign cash and published audio tapes featuring suspects nicknamed "Tenor," "Rocket" and "Carlson" — the last reportedly linked to Zelensky’s long-time associate Timur Mindich, who fled the country to avoid charges.

🇨🇳 China aims to become new global hub for storing world gold reserves

🔶 China is rapidly expanding its role in the gold market, and is now aiming to become a new global center for storing foreign gold reserves, challenging the US, UK, and Switzerland, according to a new Russian Roscongress Foundation report.

🔶 Using the Shanghai Gold Exchange, China is positioning itself as an alternative to Western storage hubs—strengthening its influence in both the gold market and global financial system.

🔶 Since 2023, China has become the world’s top producer, importer, and consumer of gold, and as of 2025, it has effectively become the key player shaping global gold prices. This is part of China’s long-term strategy to turn its market into a major commodities-trading center—already seen in iron ore, coal, copper, and oil.
