The moment Turkey’s most popular news channel, Halk TV, cuts its regular broadcast and goes to an ad break after government-appointed trustees seize control of the channel in a dawn raid over alleged financial crimes.
🔥 UPDATE:
Reuters: the Trump administration is weighing easing sanctions on shadow-fleet tankers that hauled Russian, Iranian and Venezuelan oil, all to push down record freight rates.
This comes days after Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel, which angered Zelensky, Europe and Senate Republicans.
So the sanctions meant to choke Moscow's oil income get dismantled carve-out by carve-out, to fix a price problem Washington's own Iran war created.
The tankers financing Russian missiles are about to get a discount, and Ukraine gets the bill.

The US has reportedly proposed that European partners consider partially unfreezing Russian assets as part of a potential peace deal for Ukraine, according to the Financial Times.
The proposal was discussed during talks in Miami involving US, Ukrainian and European representatives. One option reportedly involved placing some of the frozen funds under the control of a US-linked entity and using them after the war ends.
European delegates rebuffed the plan, which Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner pitched. But it has startled European capitals and Kyiv, raising questions about the US’s intentions and its starkly different approach to pressing Moscow to end its invasion of Ukraine.
