A new lawsuit accuses Alex Bruesewitz, a digital strategist who worked as a campaign aide for Trump in 2024, of failing to disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars he allegedly accepted from individuals associated with Qatar. nytimes.com/2026/11/09/busin…

This summer was the summer of truth all around the world. From natural disasters erupting everywhere. To the heavy cost of fossil fuel dependence on livelihoods. But the future is still ours to decide. And Europe will work with all its partners to tip the scales in our favour.

So. The diesel deal has completely fallen apart A few weeks ago, there was plenty of hype: Putin had sent Trump tankers full of diesel, practically saving America! But not a single one made it to US shores! The last vessel still heading for New York suddenly turned around in the Atlantic. The tanker Agioi Fanendes, carrying 40,000 tonnes of diesel, is now slowly zigzagging across the ocean, awaiting further orders. And it's already the fourth ship to change course! One vessel headed to Egypt to unload, while two others set off for Brazil. According to US media reports, none of the companies wanted to touch Russian fuel because of potential reputational damage and possible legal trouble down the line.

Over 20,500 children have been illegally deported from occupied areas of Ukraine to Russia. The treatment of Ukraine’s children over the last four years is the clearest example of Russia’s total disregard for life. Russia can only run its horrific system of child deportation, indoctrination and illegal adoption thanks to a network of people and entities. The EU has sanctioned those responsible and will keep working to bring Ukrainian kids home. My speech in #EPlenary ↓

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺 Abu Dhabi’s big diplomatic breakthrough by Trump’s real-estate boys: Zelensky had to sit them down and explain, like they were five, that Ukraine isn't a distressed asset in Florida. "I've had to explain this to the Real Estate Bros Kushner & Witkoff: the Donbass isn't my personal property to flip. I can't just gift them an extra two kilometers because it makes the term sheet look cleaner or because someone in Moscow offered a 'package deal'. The Donbas is not my building. People live there. Try thinking about it as if Russians had already taken half of Florida and were asking Trump to hand over the rest so you two could finally close the deal and go back to building luxury resorts on the rubble." Once again, Ukraine rejected the US plan to gift its regions to Moscow.

We keep hearing again that Russia supposedly needs security guarantees. Even though no one has attacked Russia for many decades. Since the Second World War, Moscow has not gone through even one decade without starting a war or using military force against another country. So when the Russians now talk about a security architecture for themselves, or about security guarantees for Russia – they are hardly talking about real security. And peace. What they really want – is to freely interfere in the affairs of other countries, and to use force whenever they want, and to make sure that no one can support liberty inside Russia because Putin wants to keep his personal power forever and pass on his imperialist and, in many ways, simply fascist views to the next generations. From a speech at the Danish Folketing. (3/3)

The impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly evident around the world. No country can ignore the challenges posed by climate change. Today, I delivered Finland’s national statement at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Türkiye. In my statement, I highlighted three key messages: 1. We cannot solve the climate crisis without multilateralism. 2. Our actions must be based on science and innovation. 3. Climate action also strengthens competitiveness and economic resilience.

🚨 “It's not my job to make Trump happy”: Zelensky gives a sharp response to a question about talks with Russia During an appearance in Copenhagen, a journalist asked Zelensky whether he was sending a Ukrainian delegation to talks in Abu Dhabi to please Donald Trump. “Maybe it's not too polite, but it's not my job to make Trump happy. But my job is to do everything to involve Americans and Europeans to negotiations,” the Ukrainian president replied. Zelensky also commented on Trump's approach to Putin, suggesting that the US president may have hoped to bring the Kremlin to the negotiating table by easing sanctions and pursuing business deals with Russia. “I think President Trump, maybe it's his tactics, you know, to be more closer to Putin,” Zelensky said. “But for today, we see, for today, it didn't work.” He added that Trump should use his influence to find another way to pressure Putin into negotiations.

This may explain the departure of the AAG for DOJ’s national security division. I wrote about it last night: joycevance.substack.com/p/no…
JUST IN: DOJ demanded 18 months of journalists' records from LinkedIn as part of a classified leak probe. Today, a federal appeals court shot down that "overbroad" demand and warned of threats to press freedom. w/ @joshgerstein politico.com/news/2026/11/10…

🇱🇻 Latvia is installing concrete “dragon's teeth” along its borders with Russia and Belarus — in three rows, each weighing 1.5 tonnes The barriers are positioned to prevent enemy vehicles from getting through and to stop the enemy from removing them one by one. Anti-tank trenches are also being dug in areas where tanks could cross most easily. They are more than two metres deep and five metres wide. So far, four kilometres of anti-tank trenches have been completed, with 89 kilometres planned in total. Work will continue throughout the winter. This is part of the Baltic Defence Line, a joint project by Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. Estonia also plans to build an additional 600 bunkers.
