Ukrinform reports the US is preparing an investigation into an alleged diesel fuel deal between the Trump administration and Russia. The story rests on a single source, and no details of the deal have been confirmed so far.
Trump publicly dismissed Zelenskyy from peace talks, saying “someone else” should negotiate for Ukraine. Envoy Steve Witkoff heads to Oslo, then to Putin in Moscow, while Trump is open to a trilateral meeting with Putin and Xi — without Ukraine.
Donald Trump has signed an executive order waiving the Graham Act sanctions on Russia — including 500% tariffs — two days before they were due to take effect. He then publicly accused Volodymyr Zelenskyy of prolonging the war, prompting frantic calls from envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and a denial from Marco Rubio of any pause in intelligence sharing.
Russia launched 332 drones and missiles at Ukraine’s energy grid overnight, leaving Vinnytsia without power and water and wounding civilians in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson. Hours earlier, President Trump signed an order waiving new sanctions under the Graham Act. No direct link is proven — but the timing raises hard questions.
U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on October 16 suspending the Graham Act sanctions — including 500% tariffs on Russian energy and 100% secondary tariffs on the five largest buyers of Russian oil. Zelenskyy says Putin “feels joy and support.” Congress is moving to block the order.

A man who is bombing Iran, hasn’t ended the war in Ukraine, and still hasn’t imposed the promised sanctions on Russia thinks of himself as a peacemaker. This isn’t politics — it’s pure theatre of the absurd. And it deserves to be taken apart with the irony it warrants.
The New York Times and Reuters report that U.S.-Russia peace talks on Ukraine now include a multibillion-dollar oil deal involving Lukoil's international assets — proposed by Putin and advanced by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Kyiv has issued no official reaction.
