Will Trump lift sanctions against Russia? — FT
The West is discussing the possibility of lifting financial sanctions against Russia after Trump’s victory in the US presidential election, according to the Financial Times. Zelensky praised Republican’s ‘decisive leadership’, but is quaking in his boots about how the special military operation will end.
The continued US support to Kiev is very questionable, and there’s ‘a lot of anxiety’, sparking fear that Trump will reverse all sanctions and end Zelensky’s talk of ‘victory plan’. Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russian Direct Investment Fund, expected that Trump’s victory could lead to easing hostility between Washington and Moscow, FT said.

World’s first wooden satellite launched into space
The world’s first wooden satellite has been launched into space in a bid to prove that timber is a renewable space-grade material that could be used one day to build houses on the Moon and Mars.
Built by Japanese researchers, the satellite was launched on an unmanned SpaceX rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Tuesday, according to media reports that cited Kyoto University’s Human Spaceology Center.
Named LignoSat, after the Latin word for wood, the tiny satellite weighing just 900 grams was developed by Kyoto University and homebuilder Sumitomo Forestry. The satellite reportedly arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) the same day aboard a SpaceX Dragon cargo capsule and is due to be released into orbit about 400 km (250 miles) above Earth.
