“Vladimir Putin is willing to talk to France’s President Emmanuel Macron about a solution to the war in Ukraine. That’s what Putin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov tells state-owned Russian media.
– Putin has said that he is ready to start a dialogue with Macron.
After Thursday’s EU summit, Macron said that he believes Europe should start talking to Putin again.
– I think it is in the interest of both Europe and Ukraine, said the French president.”
Clearly the Kremlin thinks it’s a good idea. All conversations with Russia only lead to nothing for Ukraine and Europe, possibly a symbolic exchange of dead. For Russia, they lead to escalated sanctions and increased support for Ukraine. The EU should have patience and maintain sanctions until the day Russia themselves come forward and propose talks.

Many who clock in on Monday?
Off-Topic, Epstein
“The US Department of Justice has, without explanation, deleted at least 16 files from the database where the Epstein investigation has been made public, writes AP.
One of the deleted images shows a bureau full of photographs and documents. In an elongated box lies a photo of Trump and his wife Melania together with Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. That was the only picture of Trump found in the Epstein files released on Friday.
In addition, images of paintings of naked women have been deleted, writes AP.
The Democrats in the congressional oversight committee pointed out the deleted Trump image earlier in the evening.
“What else is being hidden? We need transparency towards the American people,” they write on X.
A few hours after the discovery, the image of Trump was restored. However, it was not listed on the website but is only available through its URL.”
https://omni.se/demokraterna-trumpbild-raderad-fran-databasen/a/0pnGko
“The feeling after the US Department of Justice published the first documents from the Epstein investigation is that someone has tried to sneak out the garbage,” writes TV4 News’ Filip Jacobsson. He points out that not all material was released as promised and that many files were heavily redacted.
“The Department of Justice, through its handling, has managed to create even more suspicion, despite the goal being more transparency.”
Echo’s US correspondent Ginna Lindberg is on the same page.
“One purpose of releasing the investigation was to put an end to all conspiracy theories and draw a line. It can be noted that this has not happened,” she says. … …”
https://omni.se/analys-malet-var-transparens-resultatet-blev-mer-misstanksamhet/a/zOG729
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Even though everything was released today, the conspiracy theories are being fueled. The advantage is, if they delay this a little longer, there will be such a large group of people who stop trusting the ruling regime that it will eat itself up.
Approximately what Blanck is also on:
“The disclosure of the Epstein investigation over the weekend, when hundreds of pages were completely masked and parts of the investigation still have not been released, was not handled correctly. That’s what USA expert Dag Blanck tells TT.
– It appears that he has something to hide and it fuels conspiracy theories, he says, referring to at least one image of Trump being removed.
Whatever happens, it’s bad for the president, Blanck notes. Either Trump is linked to the power elite he campaigned to fight against, or dissatisfaction with the process of releasing the documents grows.”

Off-Topic, this is what happens when Trump brokers peace, who believes it would be any different in Ukraine?
“Over 500,000 people have been forced to flee their homes in Cambodia after the recent deadly border clashes with Thailand. This is reported by the country’s Ministry of the Interior, according to AFP.
“Women and children are suffering greatly because they have been forced to flee their homes and schools to escape artillery shelling, rockets, and air bombings from Thai F-16 aircraft,” the statement said.
The refugee crisis in Cambodia is the worst since the genocide of the 1970s, writes the Sunday Times. In Thailand, around 400,000 are estimated to have fled, and a total of over 40 people have been killed since the hostilities resumed two weeks ago.”

I hope the world sees, because it’s a peace like this that Trump will bring out in Ukraine. Calm for a short period and then the powder keg explodes again.
During the night to Sunday, the Swedish Customs Service, together with the Coast Guard, boarded the Russian ship Adler, which is anchored off the coast of Höganäs, as reported by P4 Malmöhus.
“The ship has been stationary due to an engine problem since Saturday morning. The reason for the conducted ‘customs inspection’ was that the Russian ship voluntarily contacted the Swedish Maritime Administration about its engine failure.
– We know that the ship and its owner are on sanctions lists in several countries because they are suspected of previously transporting military equipment, so there is also such a reason, says Martin Höglund, press officer at the Swedish Customs Service, to P4.
The inspection of the ship is still ongoing and it has reportedly proceeded calmly, according to customs.”
Regarding the sanctions against the ship, I assume that it is not allowed to be repaired in Sweden, but can it be detained?
Good question.
I have checked a bit about what applies.
It completely depends on where it is located and which rules and agreements apply.
It is very difficult to do anything with a ship in international waters.
Now we have a bit of a special situation. The ship is in Swedish waters but there is no international water nearby either because we border directly with Denmark.
However, the traffic lane via agreements, etc. is to be considered as international waters. There are international rules that apply to maritime transport through narrow straits.
Therefore, Sweden and Denmark simply cannot stop ships as they please.
Now they have asked for help themselves and we have been welcomed on board, but normally we are not allowed to use that as an excuse for anything other than helping them. If you go on board to look for something to accuse them of, it is actually not allowed and difficult to maintain legally.
On the other hand, the ship is sanctioned and has been suspected of smuggling weapons.
Very difficult to say what we are actually allowed and not allowed to do and if we can actually tow them to port and retain it. Finland went there when they did it.
Sanctions are not a basis for seizing the ship (so the USA is breaking the laws when they take Venezuela’s tankers).
Something that can be the basis for seizing or at least forcing it to port is:
Lack of insurance
If the ship has such deficiencies that it is a risk to continue (taking in water, engine failure, etc.)
Risk of major oil spills
It is therefore about maritime safety. When it comes to crime prevention (if they are smuggling weapons), it seems much more difficult to actually do something if they are not within “pure” Swedish waters where our laws fully apply.
Yes, legally the trickiest part is probably the nonexistent international waters and the agreements that provide safe passage.
I hope they have thoroughly searched for drones and other types of weapons. That scrap heap is well positioned to also threaten Denmark in various ways. One can become a bit suspicious about engine failure considering where it occurs…
What should have been done is to suggest (you can’t blackmail them) that they be towed into a Swedish port if they want help. Then Swedish laws would have applied fully.
Now maybe they started with that, and they refused. We are obligated to help ships in distress so unfortunately there is not much that can be done in that case.
Unless you are the USA of course, then apparently you do as you please.🤷♂️
Inside Höganäs lies KBV 034. It was built in Wolgast near Peenemünde in 2010. The same shipyard that built “Adler” in 1998. Perhaps not a pleasant coincidence, but still a coincidence. Outside “Adler” lies KBV 001 “Poseidon”. Carl Oskar Bohlin has announced through a government decision this summer that the coast guard will receive fixed weapon platforms and heavier weapons for the crews. Maybe they are already there?

with attacks – is it ua counterattacks now too?
44 counterattacks, which is about 1/4 as many as Russian attacks. Increase slightly.
So it wasn’t D but DoJ who released everything about Epstein?
Poorly handled, really poorly handled – hard to see how it could have been done worse
Failures in many ways. They were supposed to release everything on Friday, but they haven’t done that either.
Hundreds of pages that are completely blacked out, etc. etc.
But one understood, of course, that it wouldn’t reveal anything at all the moment Trump finally agreed to its release.
A bit pathetic, by the way, when the White House tried to shift focus by posting a picture of Clinton alone in a pool. Almost as if that would be more sensational than all the pictures of Trump with Epstein and young girls.
Intensive in Pokrovsk.

Off-Topic, Israel
Reminiscent of Putin and Russia’s rhetoric where historical rights are referred to in order to justify illegal occupation. Perhaps not the best way to act if one wants to live in peace with their neighbors.
“Israel’s security cabinet has approved 19 new settlements in the occupied West Bank, reports AFP. A total of 69 settlements, which are illegal under international law, have now been approved in the past three years.
‘We will continue to develop, build, and settle in our ancestors’ land, believing that our path is right,’ said Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich in a statement.
During the fall, Israeli settler activity has intensified in the West Bank, including in East Jerusalem, the UN confirms. Between June and September, over 20,000 new homes were approved in occupied areas.”

Hmm, among other things, it seems to have been Macron’s fault that it turned out the way it did.
“Emmanuel Macron was the one who ensured that the EU’s plan to use the frozen Russian assets fell through. Sources with insight told the Financial Times.
In the weeks leading up to the meeting, Macron did not express any skepticism about using the assets to finance Ukraine. But in his inner circle, he warned that France, which is deeply embroiled in a budget crisis, did not have the ability to agree to such a deal.
During Thursday’s meeting, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz tried to get all EU countries on board. Belgium said no, Italy agreed with the opposition, and Macron followed suit. That was the death blow, according to the sources.
– Macron betrayed Merz, and he knows he will pay a price for it. But he is so weak that he had no other choice, says a senior EU diplomat.”

S@tan – this time Russia increased the pressure very little and we collapsed like a soufflé.
This was not good.
Nja. France does not deny itself. It is closest to itself. Remember the financial crisis in 2008 when they favored their own industry, especially the automotive industry. During the pandemic, they seized Swedish medical property to benefit themselves. Now they probably want to prevent Ukraine from using the frozen funds to buy Gripen.
France thought, in its constant inferiority complex, that it saw the opportunity to take a front seat in the world and push back against the USA (the Iran deal, etc.), but instead they fall back into understanding and embracing the Russians.

Good that they are doing something, but should have been much, much more. Now they are of course also part of the EU so they contribute that way too. RIGHTLY. Got the GDP wrong earlier, they are only half as high as Sweden.
“Ukrainian Defense Minister Shmyhal met with Portuguese Defense Minister Melo in Kyiv, thanking him for Portugal’s growing support. Lisbon is contributing €50M to the PURL mechanism and will allocate €25M annually for five years under the SAFE initiative to purchase Ukrainian-made defense products.” source
“Sweden has approved a new agreement with the EU to provide an additional EUR 170 million in budget support to Ukraine in 2026. The aid aims to help Ukraine close its budget gap and maintain vital public services during wartime, such as energy, healthcare, education, and pensions.”
“No one has seriously discussed holding a trilateral meeting between Russia, the USA, Ukraine,” Putin’s aide said. Ushakov also stated that:
▪️the proposals put forward by Ukraine & European countries don’t bring the sides closer to reaching agreements
▪️ Russia has not yet seen any U.S. documents on a “peace plan” following discussions with Europe and Ukraine.”
If Russia gets to bring its buddy USA, then Ukraine should get to bring EU!
“Western military aid to Kyiv in 2025 could be the lowest since the beginning of the war The volumes of military aid to Ukraine from Western countries in 2025 could be the lowest since 2022, according to the Ukraine Support Tracker report, which is cited on the website of the Kiel Institute.
If in 2022–2024, the USA, European countries, and other representatives of the Western world allocated an average of about 41.6 billion euros, then in the current year, as of the beginning of November, these donors collectively sent only 32.5 billion euros to Kyiv. At the beginning of 2025, after the inauguration of Donald Trump, the USA stopped sending military aid to Ukraine on a gratuitous basis, after which such allocations increased recordingly from European countries, including the EU, the UK, Norway, Switzerland, and Iceland.
According to analysts’ calculations, from April to June, they transferred almost 20 billion euros to Ukraine as new military aid packages. However, from June to November, these volumes fell by half, and in the first two months of autumn, the volume of European aid to Kyiv amounted to only about 4.2 billion euros.”

It actually looks like Europe has managed to compensate to some extent for the US’s withdrawal, at least during the period from March to June. It should also be noted that the USA basically only donated weapons and only a small part of humanitarian aid and virtually no direct money at all while they did donate something.”
“Russian occupiers in “captured” Kupiansk made a sudden “goodwill gesture” and fled their positions. Their commander appears to be feeling unwell.”
Russia’s president compares his federation’s purchasing power with Germany’s and the UK’s separately, suggesting that the three together would surpass both China and the USA.
The thing is, Europe is already economically united and surpasses Russia’s purchasing power.
