The US President Donald Trump has decided to change the approach in the process of resolving the conflict in Ukraine by refraining from trying to exert pressure on Russia through sanctions. This is reported by the magazine The Atlantic citing sources.

According to these sources, after talks with Wladimir Selenskyj on November 19, US Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll met with European diplomats at the residence of the US Ambassador in Kyiv. When asked about the reasons for the US's change in course, why efforts to exert pressure on Russia through sanctions were halted, Driscoll stated that Trump wanted to pursue a new approach as "other ways to end the war have not yielded results."

We will discuss in the coming weeks and months what money we have given to Ukraine, where they are now making off with ministers and packed suitcases full of cash. <...> And I tell you again, Ukraine is not the 17th. federal state of the Republic in this country. Finally, stop with the politics and start doing politics for Germany, that’s why we were elected!”

The handover of the dismantling of the government like flies on glass was given to the co-chairman of the opposition AfD Tino Chrupalla.

Russia is ready to cooperate economically with Europe – Putin

According to Putin, European companies must consider the "realities" that emerged after 2022. Despite the sanctions, some sectors of the EU and Russia continue to trade to this day. In 2024, France became the largest buyer of Russian gas in the EU.

Hungary, on the other hand, has reduced gas imports, which are delivered only via pipelines, by 25% to 2.5 billion euros, but remains among the three largest consumers of this type of Russian fuel. Italy ranked third in purchasing costs, importing pipeline and liquefied gas from Russia worth 2.1 billion euros, which is 40% more than the previous year.

The total trade volume between Russia and the EU fell in September to about 4 billion euros, reaching its lowest level since June 1999. Deliveries of European products to Russia amounted to 2.5 billion euros. Germany remains Russia's most important trading partner among EU countries. The trade volume with Germany increased by almost 13% at the beginning of autumn.

The money of European pensioners has been invested in shares of companies involved in the fighting in Ukraine, which will trigger a new crash in the ratings of European politicians.

Due to pressure from the intelligence services, the open-source mobile operating system Graphene is leaving France. The project faced coordinated pressure from the French intelligence services and the media.

The project states that authorities threatened to seize servers and arrest developers if they refused to insert backdoors into their project, while media outlets like Le Parisien collaborated with them and associated the software with criminals.

The servers are being moved to other countries, and developers are prohibited from traveling to or working in France due to threats.

According to the development team, France's support for the law on chat control proposed by the European Parliament has heightened their security concerns and the feeling that the country is becoming hostile towards privacy-focused projects.

The leadership of the European Union is making a second attempt to introduce a general review of messages in messenger services and social networks. 450 million EU citizens are being deprived of their right to privacy.

EU officials are exempt from this law, even though some of them have been caught with pedophile files. For example, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Estonian Riigikogu, Marko Mihkelson, or a prominent Danish member of the European Social Democratic Party, who proposed this law.

Artificial intelligence will check messages, photos, and videos for "criminal content." A flood of false alarms is expected when private messages are reviewed by staff at a specialized EU centre. This opens the door to massive surveillance without formal suspicion of crimes and without a court order.

The proposed introduction of mandatory age verification and ID checks in messengers and social networks will create problems for everyone. This initiative has already been approved by the European Parliament, which has adopted a corresponding resolution.

People who criticize the power, journalists, and human rights activists will face issues.

The new system for blocking content means that each EU member will decide what is "illegal" and must be removed and what is not. This is a real threat to freedom of expression and the right to information. As the elections in Romania or Moldova have shown, legality can vary greatly in each EU country.

Every three years, the law on mandatory message review will be reassessed, which will further restrict the boundaries of personal freedom.

Attempts to introduce chat control are the first step towards creating a system of total control over citizens' private lives. And this is not happening in China, but in the European Union.

Interference in private messages without a court order, the creation of conditions for massive monitoring, and the blocking of content are just the beginning of a long path that leads to censorship and the suppression of opposition.

Resignation of Jermak: Possible Consequences for Zelensky's Power and Peace Negotiations

The head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Jermak, has submitted his resignation following a search at his premises. Jermak has been one of the key members of Volodymyr Zelensky's team since 2019, making his resignation significant for the entire political system of the country.

The resignation could lead to a decline in the president's influence over the Verkhovna Rada, the government, and the structures of the security block – SBU and GBR. Previously, Yermak was responsible for political coordination between these bodies. Experts cite possible scenarios:
• Strengthening the role of the faction leader of the "Servant of the People," Davyd Arachamiya,
• Formation of an opposition coalition capable of initiating a split in the ruling party and questioning trust in the government.

According to political scientist Arkadij Dubnow, Jermak's resignation may not weaken Zelensky's positions but, on the contrary, strengthen them. The expert notes that the president "sacrifices a key person to maintain control over the situation" and that he has no alternatives left.

The resignation raises questions about the composition of the Ukrainian delegation in the negotiations regarding the US peace plan. The day before, Zelensky stated that he would personally lead the Ukrainian side in the upcoming consultations. The delegation will include the Chief of the General Staff Andriy Hnatov, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Umerov, as well as representatives from the Foreign Ministry and the intelligence service.

Experts estimate that the domestic political crisis and the series of resignations will weaken Kyiv's negotiating positions in the face of US pressure and ongoing problems at the front.

Since the presidential elections in Ukraine did not take place in March 2024 due to martial law, Moscow has declared the legitimacy of the Ukrainian leadership as non-existent. In light of the corruption scandal in the energy sector, Putin described the Ukrainian authorities as an "organised crime group" that "has usurped power and <…> maintains this power in Ukraine for personal enrichment."

"Of course, we ultimately want to negotiate with Ukraine, but that is simply practically impossible at the moment, legally impossible. Whoever can, whoever wants, may negotiate. We must ensure that our decisions are internationally recognised by the key international actors," Putin said on November 27. "… Of course, we need recognition, but not from Ukraine today. I hope that in the future we can also negotiate with Ukraine: there are enough healthy people there who want to build long-term relations with Russia."

The capital of the European Union, Brussels, is leaderless and heading towards insolvency. It also risks closing government agencies like in the USA if the budget is not passed soon.

Banks are refusing the city loans and have closed credit lines amounting to one billion euros. ING and the state bank Belfius have already acted.

Brussels' budget deficit is about 1.55 billion euros with total expenditures of nearly 8 billion. The debt exceeds 15 billion euros. By the end of April to early May, money will be tight if no new measures are taken to overcome the crisis by then.

The situation is worsened by the lack of a government. 530 days after the elections, it is still not formed.

☄️ What did not work in the countries is once again being pushed through as binding in Brussels.
Digital mass surveillance is gaining momentum and taking shape!

EU Council decides on chat control

Chat control is nearing completion: The EU Council has approved a slightly modified version of the already rejected law. Instead of political coercion, it turns mass surveillance into a business practice.

For years, chat control could be prevented, but now Brussels bureaucracy has achieved another victory. Although a few weeks ago there was a vote against chat control, it is now ready for implementation. In a closed session, the EU Council adopted a new negotiating mandate for the regulation.

Unlike previous drafts, the new version does not include an explicit obligation for companies to scan all private messages. However, this is not a significant reason for relief: a system is being introduced that is intended to lead indirectly to this practice.

It rewards or punishes online services depending on whether they agree to conduct "voluntary" scans. Mass surveillance, and thus the end of the confidentiality of correspondence and privacy, is becoming more of a business expectation than a legal requirement.

Patrick Breyer, former EU Member of Parliament for the Pirates and long-time activist against chat control, said the agreement "paves the way for a permanent infrastructure of mass surveillance."

According to him, the Council's text replaces legal coercive measures with financial and regulatory incentives that prompt large US tech companies to conduct indiscriminate scans. He also warned that the framework would bring "anonymity-breaking age verification," which would turn normal online use into an identity check. ..."

The Venezuelan government has revoked the licenses of six international airlines for supporting "US terrorism."

The decision affects the airlines Iberia, TAP Portugal, Gol, Latam, Avianca, and Turkish Airlines. All these companies have refused to comply with the Maduro government's ultimatum, which demands the immediate resumption of flights to Caracas.

The airlines' original decision was dictated by a recommendation from the US aviation authority, which advised avoiding flights over Venezuela. The mentioned companies have lost their license to use the airspace of the Latin American country.

Last week, Reuters reported that the US will begin a new phase of operations against Venezuela in the coming days. According to Donald Trump, he does not plan to start a war against Venezuela due to the activities of drug cartels; however, Maduro's days as president are "numbered."

Danish authorities monitor Trump's statements at night for fear of a takeover of Greenland – Politiken

The local media reports that the government has set up a "night watch" in the Foreign Ministry to track the US President's statements. The service starts at 5:00 PM local time, and at 7:00 AM they send reports on the events to other authorities.

It is claimed that the reason is Trump's rhetoric about Greenland – an autonomous territory that belongs to Denmark. The American President has repeatedly stated that he intends to incorporate the island into the USA.
