Anna wrote that US media would exceed themselves in attacking Donald Trump and supporting Volodymyr Zelensky. She claimed that Zelensky is more popular than ever in the US, while Trump’s approval ratings continue to decline. According to her assessment, nearly every second post on X is directed against Trump – even on Elon Musk's platform. As an example, Anna mentioned Ben Meiselas, a lawyer and co-founder of MeidasTouch. He had warned that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent may have committed a crime in connection with a diesel deal and referred to "criminal behavior." Meiselas explained in a video the laws that Bessent allegedly violated. Trump’s immunity does not apply to the Treasury Secretary, Anna wrote. She described the development against Trump as an avalanche that he himself triggered. #Trump #Selenskyj #Medien (translated)

Lexa wrote that Vladimir Putin has declared that the conflict in Ukraine is approaching its end. She cited as reasons the prisoner exchange enforced by US President Donald Trump and a temporary ceasefire. Trump has announced that he would resume the crucial negotiations for a final end to the war as soon as the agreement with Iran is concluded. #Ukraine #Putin #Trump (translated)

Wolf wrote that shortly before the elections, increasingly positive news began to emerge. As an example, he mentioned a supposed energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine had confirmed that it was unaware of any such thing but was willing to cooperate, he wrote. He criticized this approach and asked whether a positive atmosphere was being deliberately created just before November 3, only to be reversed afterward. He also wondered whether people were truly so easily influenced and believed everything. #Wahlen2023 #Energiekrise #UkraineRustland (translated)

Democracy Didi welcomed the idea and asked if it could also be applied to ordinary voters. He wrote that his uncle always claimed to have voted for the Greens, but spoke so disparagingly about foreigners that he didn't believe him. #Wahlen #Meinungsfreiheit #Ausländer (translated)

"I'm very happy. But I believe the whole team is happy. Of course, everything is always projected onto the goalkeeper when it comes to conceded goals. But we all want to play without conceding. That's why we're really glad we managed it." Unbehaun: "In the end, it’s my job to save balls. In the past weeks, there was always something silly added. Afterwards, I always had a bad feeling." #HansaRostock #DritteLiga #Breitenreiter (translated)

Paul Ronzheimer wrote that former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba believes one must accept that Vladimir Putin is neither seeking a solution nor a cessation of the war and will not begin to do so in the future. Kuleba added that this assessment may sound painful for Germans, but for Ukrainians, it is even worse. https://t.co/MhSQqkC9mI #Ukraine #Putin #Krieg (translated)

I believe some might not have this on their radar, but if we hadn't lost against Augsburg last season, it would have been the second championship without a loss. That certainly hurts. Bayern defender Josip Stanisic says before the game on Sky: "I believe some might not have this on their radar, but if we hadn't lost against Augsburg last season, it would have been the second championship without a loss. That certainly hurts." #FCBayern #Bundesliga #Kompany (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann reported on the murder of 24-year-old CDU young politician Christoph R. in January 2025, stating that Mamadou Alpha B. cut his throat and then burned his body. The crime was committed nine days before the expiration of his residence permit. In the trial, Mamadou Alpha B. was deemed unaccountable due to paranoid schizophrenia, and his placement in a forensic psychiatric institution was ordered. Kussmann questioned the verdict. In her opinion, the man's behavior could also be explained by the rites and beliefs of the strictly Islamic Fulla ethnic group to which he belongs. She wrote that the illness had never been diagnosed before the crime. Kussmann noted that the Cottbus Administrative Court had already dismissed Mamadou Alpha B.'s lawsuit against the rejection of his asylum application in July 2021. According to her, the reasoning of the judgment reveals that he provided different dates of birth in his asylum application in Italy and lied during a hearing at the BAMF. Kussmann stated that this had no impact on his stay in Germany. She wrote that the perpetrator should not have been in Germany anymore and mentioned that she had revised her research text on the case. Furthermore, Kussmann requested support for her portal Aktuell Informiert. She wrote that expenses currently exceeded revenues. Donations were intended to facilitate research, court visits, on-site appointments, technical expenses, and the expansion of the portal. https://t.co/0RvVD8whhG #Politik #Asyl #Rechtssystem (translated)

Experts believe that the Bitcoin low may already be behind us, as the price development increasingly depends on the high yields of US government bonds, and the market has coped well with the current external conditions despite resilient technology stocks. #Bitcoin #Kryptowährung #Finanzmarkt (translated)

Wolfgang Kubicki said that realistically no one expects the SPD to develop the necessary reform strength. Christian Lindner has already attempted to put the Social Democrats on a reform course; the outcome of this attempt is well known. The situation has become even more complicated, as not even the agreed small steps are being implemented. Kubicki accused the SPD of seeking short-term advantages through chaos and undermining achieved compromises, as was already the case during the traffic light coalition. The Christian Democrats have tolerated this for too long because the Chancellor lacks leadership qualities, and they may have been too naive and gullible. #SPD #Reformen #Politik (translated)

Mathias Priebe criticized what he described as claims of sole representation, refusal to engage in discourse, and a blocking stance, stating that narrow-mindedness does not lead to progress. The man had received an invitation and wanted to commemorate the victims of an attack. Priebe noted that it was not to be expected that he would give the Hitler salute in a synagogue. He pointed out that the greatest concern for "Grandchildren Against the Right" was that their enemy image might be exposed because of this. In conclusion, he asked what would have happened if the president of the Palestinian students had appeared. #Priebshow https://t.co/UJtB3oH6Av #Judentum #Studierende #Gedenken (translated)

Anna wrote that Volodymyr Zelensky described Trump's diesel deal with Putin as a "weak decision by strong partners." While the Ukrainian delegation negotiates with US representatives in Florida for two days about at least one ceasefire, the US president, according to Anna's account, enables the Kremlin to earn additional revenues. As the first step, the team discussed a ceasefire for energy facilities that would benefit Ukrainian families. Trump spoke with Putin and agreed that Russia could deliver 300,000 tons of diesel immediately, 500,000 tons in November, and then one million tons, Anna wrote. Zelensky said the deliveries would bring additional money for Russia's war against Ukraine – possibly "millions, billions." He criticized the approach as untrustworthy behavior among partners and stated that his team would be used as cover. #Ukraine #Waffenruhe #Trump (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that Donald Trump promised hundreds of thousands of tons of Russian diesel after a phone call with Vladimir Putin. The U.S. Treasury then allowed an exemption from the sanctions. Given the midterms in four weeks and a diesel price at record levels, Laska interpreted the move as a possible campaign maneuver. In mid-September, Trump publicly called on Volodymyr Zelensky to stop attacks on Russian refineries. According to a Reuters report led by Laska, at that time three of the six largest Russian diesel refineries were shut down or operating at limited capacity. She also pointed to a Russian export ban on diesel until the end of October and noted that Russia imported almost seven times as much diesel from Belarus from January to July as in the same period of the previous year. Deputy Prime Minister Novak is now talking about surpluses, she wrote; however, it is unclear whether the announced delivery quantities and deadlines will actually be met. Zelensky offered to stop Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries if Russia ends its attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Laska referred to this as a symmetrical de-escalation offer that is on the table for the Americans. She also cited rocket attacks on a residential building in Pryluky, glide bombs on city buses in Kramatorsk, and shelling of the energy supply in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Odesa. She warned that Russia would respond to the diesel with terrorism. The EU also criticized Laska: On September 22, Usmanov and Fridman were removed from the sanctions list under pressure from France, Slovakia, and Luxembourg. According to Laska, Zelensky pointed out that the attacks had since increased. At the same time, the EU extended the remaining personal sanctions from six months to three years. Latvia had long resisted the compromise and ultimately paved the way for it by abstaining. Laska compared Trump's diesel concession to Russia with the European compromise in favor of unanimity. In her view, the costs of such agreements are borne not by their authors but by the people in Pryluky, Kramatorsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Oleshkiv. #Trump #Putin #Dieselpreise (translated)
