Vojtěch Boháč wrote that twenty-six-year-old Ilja Meškov, who according to him left Russia eight years ago, graduated from the University of Economics in Prague and a school in Texas, and after six years in the Czech Republic obtained Czech citizenship. According to Boháč, he became a partner in a Czech company focused on investments in European data centers for artificial intelligence within two years, responsible for venture capital. Boháč stated that Meškov's father is a Russian military colonel who heads a department at Bauman Moscow State Technical University, and his mother previously worked in the army and at this university. She is now, according to him, retired and has a Czech visa since this year; she travels to Prague as the wife of an active Russian colonel and career military officer. Boháč also claimed that ordinary Russians find it very difficult to obtain a visa to the Czech Republic after 2022. Citing an article that he believes described the story, Boháč posed questions about how Meškov's mother managed to obtain a visa, who has access to key data infrastructure in the EU, and how to assess the privacy of young Russians from military families who, according to him, have never actually distanced themselves from the activities of their relatives. #Investice #Kyberbezpečnost #UměláInteligence (translated)

"With all due respect to President Trump, it is up to our society, our people to choose one leader or another." Zelensky stated that he told members of Trump's team that if they truly want Ukraine to hold elections – the first since the start of the Russian invasion in 2022 – "please tell Putin to give us two months, 60 days of complete ceasefire, 60 days, and we will hold elections." #RăzboiUcraina #Trump #Zelenski (translated)

Cristiano Tinazzi argued that disinformation played a central role in hybrid warfare and that its dissemination through a public television program constituted a national problem. He pointed to "In Mezz’ora" on Rai and Gian Micalessin’s reports, stating that in the past the journalist had been in Bashar al-Assad's court to present him as a defender of Christians. Tinazzi also recalled a report on Maidan that, in his opinion, the BBC had termed false: Micalessin had interviewed people presented as Georgian snipers, claiming that the protesters had shot themselves. Tinazzi stated that other freelancers had been excluded from mainstream media for much less, while Micalessin continued to work and move with the Russian occupiers. He linked the situation to the journalist's historical ties with Monica Maggioni, whom he described as his former partner and founder of GM News Produzioni, where Maggioni had been a managing partner. In his view, this created a serious conflict of interest, on which the Rai Supervisory Commission had also taken an interest in 2022. Tinazzi said that one should expect rigor and seriousness from a public television program, and not a showcase for Russian propaganda. He cited an interview by Micalessin with Kostyantyn Suvkov, whom he defined as a representative of ultranationalist and militarist Russian propaganda. According to Tinazzi, that content contributed to polluting information and was part of a psychological warfare operation aimed at terrorizing Western public opinion and weakening military support for Kyiv. #Disinformazione #GuerraIbrida #MediaResponsabili (translated)

Press Briefs reported that Ségolène Royal referred to Raphaël Glucksmann as an intern after his victory in the social-democratic primary. The media recalled that she stated to L’Obs at the end of September that he had attended a meeting of Nicolas Sarkozy and did not come from the left. According to Press Briefs, Glucksmann was surrounded by several figures from the outgoing majority, including Aurélien Rousseau, Marguerite Cazeneuve, Simon Bernard, and Sacha Houlié, and was presented by some as a "new Macron." The media also mentioned a campaign note revealed by Mediapart in May, which allegedly recommended targeting wealthy, educated, and older voters as a priority, rather than the 18-25 age group, the working classes, and residents of the suburbs. Press Briefs added that an anonymous executive from Place Publique confided to Mediapart in August that Glucksmann had requested to set the voting fee at 15 euros to restrict the electorate, fearing that too many people participating might lead to a loss. The primary reportedly gathered about 121,000 participants, nearly 14 times less than in 2017 and 22 times less than in 2011, according to the media's comparisons with the first rounds of previous socialist primaries. The media contrasted these figures with the LR primary of 2021, won by Valérie Pécresse with 60.95% of the votes among nearly 115,000 participants. She then obtained 4.78% in the 2022 presidential election. Glucksmann, on the other hand, received 66.17% of the votes in a vote counting approximately 121,000 participants, noted Press Briefs, which questioned the significance of this victory in view of the presidential election. #politique #France #primaires (translated)

Jiri Jicha stated that seven American senators from both parties, led by Jeanne Shaheen, accused Trump of violating a 2022 law that bans the import of Russian energy by allowing the import of Russian diesel into the USA. According to them, the senators claimed that the administration did not consult Congress nor provided the legally required justification. They also warned that the imports could help finance the Russian war against Ukraine and demanded that the administration immediately reverse its decision. #Trump #Rusko #Energie (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that Donald Trump announced an immediate energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine and stated that both sides had agreed. According to her, Volodymyr Zelensky initially had no knowledge of this. Later, he said the report was new to him, but Ukraine was ready to cease attacks on Russian energy facilities, provided that Russia would no longer attack Ukrainian power plants. Laska wrote that there was no initial confirmation from the Kremlin, and Russian attacks continued. According to Ukrainian sources, among others, power plants in Kyiv and Kharkiv were hit. She also referred to Trump's earlier claim from September 14 that both sides had agreed to spare energy facilities; however, a sustainable ceasefire did not emerge from that. The author placed the announcement within a series of Trump's statements: on Friday, he announced a diesel deal with Putin and a US waiver for Russian diesel deliveries; on Saturday, he said Ukraine needed a new president; and on Sunday, he declared a ceasefire, to which this president allegedly agreed. Laska described this as contradictory since Zelensky had simultaneously been portrayed by Trump as a potential negotiating partner, even though he was unaware of the agreement. Furthermore, Laska wrote that seven US senators - four Republicans and three Democrats - legally challenged Trump's diesel deal with Putin. They accused the government of not involving Congress as required and demanded the withdrawal of the deal. While the US Treasury had issued a license, its sufficient legal basis was disputed. In a satirical scene, Laska imagined Trump reacting by putting down his phone, splattering a freshly painted wall while drinking, and possibly firing the painter afterward. #Trump #Ukraine #Russland (translated)

In 2022, Congress clearly prohibited the import of Russian energy resources so that American dollars would not finance Putin's brutal war against Ukraine. In a joint statement on Sunday, Senators Jeanne Shaheen, Richard Blumenthal, and Ron Wyden from the Democratic Party, as well as Republicans Thom Tillis, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and John Curtis, reminded that the ban on importing Russian fuels was implemented after Russia began its invasion of Ukraine. #Trump #Rosja #Ukraina (translated)
