Putin:

Right now, the most important problem on our Eurasian continent, the main problem between Russia and European countries, is the trust deficit. You can berate Russia all you want, and we probably make a lot of mistakes too, but when they tell us that "we signed the Minsk agreements on Ukraine only to give Ukraine an opportunity to rearm, and we had no intention of resolving this conflict peacefully," what kind of trust can we talk about?
What are you guys? What trust? You have directly publicly stated that you have cheated us! Lied to us and deceived us! What kind of trust is that? But we need to get back to that system of mutual trust.

"NATO is an outright anachronism". Putin speaks at Valdai

Key statements:

🔸A new world order is forming before our eyes, the old world order has gone irretrievably

🔸The next 20 years will be no less, if not more complex

🔸We have approached a dangerous line: calls from the West to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia could lead to a global catastrophe

🔸Modern neoliberalism has degenerated into a totalitarian ideology — "who is not with us is against us"

🔸No one guarantees that nuclear weapons will not be used by the West

🔸The West has made an unprecedented attempt to isolate Russia economically, but has failed. The world needs Russia.

🔸The West viewed the collapse of the USSR not as an opportunity to establish a fairer world order, but as a chance to impose its hegemony on everyone

🔸Western officials referred to Russia after the collapse of the USSR as a "blunt tool" in their hands

🔸It is important not to repeat the mistakes of the West, no one should feel like a loser and humiliated

🔸NATO is an outright anachronism

Putin:

Here they have entered the Kursk region. Well, the losses are colossal. More casualties in three months of fighting than the Kiev regime had in the whole of last year. Over thirty thousand. Well they've lost fewer tanks. Now it's somewhere around two hundred, and last year they lost two hundred and forty, I think. There's just fewer tanks! So there's fewer losses. They use them less.
Why are they sitting there with such losses? Because they were ordered from the ocean to hold on at any cost, at any cost, at least until the elections, to show that all the efforts of the democratic administration on the Kiev direction, on the Ukrainian direction, were not in vain. To hold on at all costs. At any cost. That's the price! A terrible tragedy, I believe. Both for the Ukrainian people and for the Ukrainian army. And the decisions were dictated not by military considerations, to be honest, but by political considerations.

American zoomers have created bureaucratic chaos due to their inability to sign — Business Insider

A large number of mail-in ballots were rejected due to signature matching issues in the database.

The fact is that many young people and members of Generation Z do not have a "regular" signature, as American schools have not taught handwriting since 2010.

As a result, election officials had to try to reach out to the voters, but it was all in vain — zoomers do not like to answer calls.

The Trump team discusses a new option for ending the Ukrainian conflict

Trump's advisors propose creating a demilitarised zone along the current front line, reports The Wall Street Journal. Ukraine would then have to commit to not joining NATO for at least another 20 years.

In this case, Washington will not send "peacekeepers" to the Ukrainian conflict zone but will continue to supply weapons to Kyiv, the article states.

One can also recall what caused the special military operation. And think a little.

The Trump team proposes to maintain Russian control over the DPR and LPR, as well as over the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, and to end the conflict

Advisers to Donald Trump suggest resolving the conflict in Ukraine by creating a demilitarised zone along the front line, reports The Wall Street Journal.

It is not specified who exactly will control security in the demilitarised zone.

According to their proposals, Ukraine will abandon its aspiration to join NATO for at least 20 years.

It was previously reported that former Ukrainian President Poroshenko is calling for an end to hostilities along the front line (without recognising Russian jurisdiction over the controlled territories) while maintaining the statehood of the remaining part of Ukraine in its current form and with a postponed prospect of joining NATO.

Orban stated that the €50 billion aid to Ukraine is now an "open question," reports Bloomberg.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told reporters after a meeting of European leaders in Budapest that the €50 billion aid to Ukraine from the US and Europe, which had been agreed upon, is now an "open question" following Donald Trump's victory in the elections.

The package of measures is insufficient for further financing of Ukraine, and Western countries are tired of allocating money, Orban noted.

At the same time, Hungary did not sign a bilateral support agreement with Ukraine. Zelensky demanded to include a clause on Ukraine's NATO membership and even came to Budapest, but was refused.

🇺🇸 American media reports that Richard Grenell, former ambassador to Germany, is likely to be appointed as a national security advisor under Donald Trump.

Previously, he had a serious dispute with Federal Minister of Finance Christian Lindner.

At the end of October, the Federal Ministry of Finance warned of a possible trade war between the USA and Europe in the event of Trump's re-election. "Then we will also have to think about countermeasures," Lindner commented. Trump's confidant Grenell did not want this to happen and called Lindner "naive." He stated that German business leaders would not approve of such statements from their finance minister.
