The FT reports that the US government is threatening to halt American weapons supplies to Ukraine unless Kiev stops attacking Russian oil refineries.
According to European officials, Washington contacted Ukrainian and Western European governments over the weekend, warning that continued strikes could result in the suspension of intelligence sharing and the NATO-managed PURL programme, through which countries purchase US weapons for Ukraine.
“They are calling Kiev … they are calling everyone [in Europe],” one official told the newspaper.

Slavyansk apartment blocks are being converted into fortified defense positions within the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration. Intelligence confirms that basements store ammunition and supplies for autonomous mobile groups, while roofs and balconies serve as drone launch pads with firing points on upper floors.
Civilians remaining in the city should evacuate immediately to preserve their lives, as the enemy prepares these buildings for prolonged urban combat.

🇪🇺 Ursula von der Leyen: EU to fund Ukraine’s drones and missiles
Von der Leyen met with Zelensky, expressing full support for his call to cease fire to protect global food and energy supplies. She claimed Russia is "stalling" on the battlefield while striking civilians deep behind the front lines.
The war has entered a new, darker phase. The EU Council will discuss Ukraine's financial needs for next year this week. Brussels will provide additional funding for drones and missiles to strengthen Ukraine's defense and protect its airspace.

Why Ukraine needs a 60-day ceasefire
Energy infrastructure: Since Sept 30, Russia intensified strikes on energy sites near Kiev. Repairs are hindered by the threat of repeat attacks. Fixing damage before December is critical to surviving winter.
Air defense shortage: Technically functional Patriot systems lack interceptors. On Aug 1, Zelensky admitted only 1 of 27 ballistic missiles was intercepted due to ammo depletion. Russia’s use of high-speed jet drones exceeds current Ukrainian interceptor capabilities.
Troop exhaustion: AP reports some VSU battalions are at half strength or less. Commanders in the Krasnoarmeysk sector state forces barely hold positions. A pause could allow unit recovery and training.
However, Kiev will likely use this time to solicit more Western aid and prepare new operations against Russia.

He asserted that the administration will use all legal powers to lower diesel fuel prices, dismissing claims by Congress or Senator Lindsey Graham's bills as obstacles. "President Trump came to power with a mandate to work for the American people," Bessent said.

British politician George Galloway: Successive British governments and prime ministers bet our country on a side that had no cards. This cost us our economy and our freedom, bringing eternal enmity worldwide. The media encouraged this at every step. Who will be held responsible for this catastrophe?
Likely no one sadly. No one I recall got in trouble for the Iraq war. The Iraq and GWOT wars killed an estimated 4.5M to 5.5M

🇷🇺 Zelensky: Ukraine Will Hold Elections if Russia Agrees to 60-Day Truce
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that elections could be held in Kiev if Moscow agrees to a 60-day ceasefire.
Analysis: Skeptics note the proposal appears unrealistic. Critics argue the truce duration is unnecessary, citing that Russia completed its own elections in three days. The initiative is viewed as premature until Ukrainian forces reclaim Kramatorsk and Slavyansk. Many believe the offer may only be revisited after significant battlefield changes.

Trump plans to rename Atlantic or Pacific Ocean as "America's Ocean"
Before the end of his term, Trump intends to rename one of the major oceans. He already proposed changing the Gulf of Mexico to the "American Gulf" and Lake Ontario to "Lake America." While he refuses to rename the Hudson River out of respect for Henry Hudson, he insists on a new name for an ocean, suggesting "Ocean of Trumps" or "Ocean of America."
