SCOOP: Trump may be considering a fertilizer deal with Russia, sources tell me and @JimmySecUK.

The U.S. hasn't sanctioned the industry directly or banned Russian fertilizer imports. But a deal could still lift sanctions on vessels, companies, banks and individuals linked to it, sources say.

Ukraine takes back ground after a disastrous September for Russia, while October isn’t looking much better for the invader.

Then restrictions hit the drones targeting Russian logistics and defending Ukraine.

Coincidence? Who authorised it, and whose interests were they serving?

We’re entitled to ask.

No longer just drones, today Ukrainian missiles targeted Russia's Baltimor airbase in Voronezh, about 300 kilometers from Ukraine. Locals documented high-speed missiles, not drones.

The Soviet era base, operating since the 1930s, hosts the 47th Guards Bomber Regiment flying Su-34s. Videos show a large fire and thick smoke. Russian military bloggers are suggesting losses, sarcastically lamenting incompetent air defenses. Full damage assessment not yet confirmed.

Zelenskyy: “Just imagine, there are Ukrainian children who have never known peace. That’s absolutely horrifying.

Many children in Ukraine, including among the fallen, have never lived in peace.

We lived in a different time. We understand what it’s like to live without sirens, shelling, and constant fear.

But these kids go down to the bomb shelter every night when the alarm goes off, and it goes off every night. Then they come back up, and some of them have died.

When a Russian missile cuts short the life of a child who has seen nothing yet… just imagine. My pain is not even 10% of the parents’ pain. It’s just terrifying.”

There is an entire generation of Ukrainian children who are schoolkids by now, and who do not remember what a peaceful life is like.

They are growing up in conditions where someone is constantly trying to kill them. They don't understand why. They did nothing wrong, nothing to deserve constant bombings of their homes.

​Russia must be stopped. And until then, Ukraine needs air defense so that we don't have to bring toys to collapsed buildings, where Russia cut short lives that never got to experience peace.

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

Zelenskyy held a telephone conversation with Kushner and Witkoff.

According to the President, a trilateral meeting at the working level is planned for the first half of November.

We are prepared to meet on any given day—even as early as tomorrow—but that depends entirely on the Russian side. A meeting of this kind had already been scheduled for September, but it did not take place; the Russian side found a reason to call it off.

As a reminder: Kushner is implicated in multi-million-dollar frauds, and Witkoff is a street-level operator. Acting on Trump’s behalf, both aim to ensure that Putin conquers Ukraine so that he can then go on to attack Western Europe.

"Russia is suffering a reputational blow. That is the most important thing. Oil prices may somehow stabilize, the war will end — things will normalize. But the reputational damage will last for a very long time.”

"We are not stopping.”

Musk has either refused Trump's request to turn on Ukraine's Starshield access, or Trump is lying, or both.

For about 7 days now, Russia has been attacking Lviv around the clock—without a break, day and night, morning, noon, and evening. Despite this, the atmosphere in Lviv looks something like this...

Putin's diesel arrives in New York Nov 7 aboard the Agioi Fanendes: 40,000 tons, the first Russian fuel cargo since 2022. It's coming in on a Treasury license that sidesteps federal law. New York should refuse to be the loading dock for Putin's war chest. 🧵 1/5

[Jimmy Rushton @JimmySecUK]

My latest: Ukraine’s Starshield access is still crippled, no-one is taking the blame, and Ukrainian soldiers and civilians are dying because of it.
