🇩🇪Germany is heading for early elections. The "traffic light government" has collapsed. The likelihood of Scholz and the SPD remaining in power after the early elections is not very high. Ukraine has become one of the reasons for Scholz's political collapse.
It is unlikely that the AfD and Wagenknecht's party will be allowed to come to power. The likely winner of the next elections is the CDU/CSU with Chancellor Merz. Either the Greens or the SPD could be in coalition with him.
🇪🇺🇺🇸European leaders meeting in Budapest today called on Trump to avoid trade wars, continue to support Ukraine and refrain from upsetting the world order, Reuters reports.
"It is in our interests that the autocrats of this world receive a very clear signal that this is not the rule of force, but the rule of law," said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen regarding Ukraine.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte called for Ukraine to be viewed as a problem not only for Europe. And he called Russia's partnership with North Korea "a threat not only to the European part of NATO, but also to the United States."

🇷🇺🇺🇸The Kremlin has not ruled out a conversation between Putin and Trump before the latter’s inauguration.
At the same time, the Russian president does not plan to call outgoing Joe Biden, Dmitry Peskov said.
🇺🇸Trump's nominees for secretary of state include Senators Marco Rubio and Bill Hagerty, as well as former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell.
Politico sources said that these names were voiced by former Trump national security adviser Robert O'Brien during a lunch with conservatives.
Let us recall that Rubio stated yesterday that the war in Ukraine has “reached a dead end” and must be stopped.
Grenell met with Zelensky in September along with Trump. He is considered a supporter of ending the war in Ukraine with a freeze on the front lines and a halt to Ukraine's accession to NATO.
🇺🇸The outgoing Biden administration is bracing for a surge in illegal immigration in the coming weeks.
Migrants are expected to try to cross the border now, fearing that Trump will immediately and completely close the border upon taking office.

🇭🇺🇺🇦Orban said €50 billion in aid to Ukraine was now an "open question," Bloomberg reports.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told reporters after a meeting of European leaders in Budapest that €50 billion in US and European aid to Ukraine, which had already been agreed, was now an "open question" after Donald Trump's election victory.
The package of measures is not enough to continue funding Ukraine, and Western countries are tired of allocating money, Orban said.
Following Trump's victory this week, EU countries are also moving towards a clearer definition of their commitments and goals in Ukraine, he said.

🇩🇪Sacked German Finance Minister Christian Lindner has given his version of what happened. He claims that Scholz fired him because of his proposal to send Taurus missiles to Ukraine.
Berliner Zeitung writes about this.
At the same time, the former minister confirmed that Scholz had given the task of allocating €3 billion in financial support to Ukraine, but Lindner stated that this was impossible due to the difficult financial situation in the country (according to the Chancellor, this was the reason for his resignation).
But Lindner added that he, in turn, had offered Scholz to send Taurus missiles, to which Scholz had responded with a categorical refusal and informed Lindner of his resignation.
🇷🇺🇺🇦A strike by one FAB-3000 aerial bomb cleared an area of almost 1 square kilometer in the Kursk region.
According to preliminary data, an underground command post of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, an ammunition depot, several armored fighting vehicles, and Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel were blown up.

🇩🇪Ukraine became one of the reasons for the collapse of the German ruling coalition .
Chancellor Scholz announced that Finance Minister and FDP leader Christian Lindner was fired for his unwillingness to allocate money to Ukraine, Focus reports.
"We are increasing our support for Ukraine, which is facing a difficult winter. After the US elections, this is a very important signal: we can be relied upon. However, I must state once again: the Federal Finance Minister is not showing any willingness to implement this proposal in the federal government for the benefit of our country. I do not want to subject our country to such behavior any longer," Scholz said.
Ukraine is one reason. Lindner rejected Scholz's four-point budget proposal.
Meanwhile, it is questionable whether the Scholz government itself will hold on. German President Steinmeier has already stated that he is ready to approve holding early elections if a vote of no confidence is declared against the Chancellor.
"If the Bundestag withdraws confidence in the Federal Chancellor in accordance with Article 68 of the Basic Law, then I am ready to accept such a decision. In our Constitution, this decision is made under certain conditions. But our country needs a stable majority and a government that is capable of acting. This will be my criterion," the president said.
Let us recall that this vote was requested by Scholz himself after the FDP left the coalition. The vote could take place in January. If the chancellor is voted no-confidence, early elections to the Bundestag could take place as early as March.

What's wrong with them? Donald is a normal, cheerful guy.
🇺🇸🇷🇺The West is discussing the possibility of lifting sanctions against Russia in the financial sector after Trump's victory in the US presidential election.
The Financial Times writes about this.
"All the talk this morning is about how to trade with Russia and whether sanctions will be lifted... Traders at Western banks are suddenly wondering whether it is now possible to trade the ruble," one financier told the publication.
The FT notes that Russian shares rose in the first hours after Trump's victory, pushing the MOEX ruble index of leading Russian shares up by 3.6%.
"Russian energy giants Gazprom and Novatek were among the best performers, both up nearly five percent shortly after opening. Online marketplace Ozon grew the most, while Aeroflot gained 6 percent at launch," the publication writes.

🇺🇸Trump will try to end the wars in the Middle East before his inauguration on January 20, former Israeli diplomat Alon Pinkas told CNN.
"He'll say, 'Wrap it up, I don't need this,'" Pinkas said.
He believes Trump will ask Netanyahu to "declare victory" and then make a deal through intermediaries.
Palestinian National Initiative leader Mustafa Barghouti also believes that Trump "will not tolerate wars as they are happening" and "Netanyahu will face a much tougher president than the one he is used to."
But Barghouti says it won't make much difference to the Palestinians "because both administrations have been completely biased" against Israel, and that there are fears that Trump will allow Israel to annex parts of the West Bank, which would mean "the end of the two-state solution."
CNN recalls that during his first term, Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, "upending decades of US policy and international consensus," and recognized Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
