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)

Symphony wrote that he was 63 on paper, but depending on the situation, sometimes felt 37, 25, or even 104. He also claimed that he could suddenly take on the age of 14 again out of anger. According to Symphony, someone carries all previous versions of themselves: from the amazed child and the love-struck boy to the older person who knew how precious time was. A song from the 80s could bring that person back to the summer when they were 17, with friends in a field and the feeling that the future was still endlessly far away. Symphony wrote that the boy had never completely disappeared and that getting older might mean carrying more and more lives with you. An old song could make that person feel 17 again, if only for three minutes — but now with the realization of how special that time was. #ouderworden #herinneringen #tijd (translated)
