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)

After several years of strong development, during which AcadeMedia has established itself as a quality leader and expanded to become Europe's largest education player, we now want to strengthen the board for the continued journey. We are convinced that these two new members will bring significant value, and we see their experience as a valuable addition to the board's future work, says Rune Andersson, Chairman of AcadeMedia's Nomination Committee. Annie Lööf has broad experience and great competence from both public and private sectors. Her experience in leadership, strategic issues, and regulatory environments will be an important addition to the board and AcadeMedia's continued development, believes Rune Andersson. Fredrik Rågmark has solid experience in building and developing operations within the welfare sector, both in Sweden and internationally. His long experience as a business leader and board member, along with his experience in international expansion, will be a significant complement to AcadeMedia's board, continues Rune Andersson. #AcadeMedia #styrelse #AnnieLööf (translated)

He wrote that the book includes, among other things, a detailed overall calculation of the asylum costs of past years and an overview of the number of asylum accommodations in Germany. According to him, the federal government does not know this number. According to Harms, the book also addresses real estate companies and hoteliers who earn millions by renting to the state, as well as home operators, welfare associations, lawyer networks, and state companies that benefit from the growing market or mass immigration. He announced interviews with insiders from the social industry and the real estate market, as well as insights into asylum NGOs, refugee councils, and million-euro funding programs from the EU and the federal government. Additionally, the book aims to address legal questions related to the topic of asylum. Harms requested feedback on the book. #Asylkomplex #Buchneuerscheinung #Asylpolitik (translated)

"The Russians are attacking intensively, but they are not making significant progress," said Herem. "Often soldiers, especially Russian soldiers, take pictures of themselves that are sent to Moscow to create the impression that something has been captured," Herem said. "What he actually wanted is not something we can easily provide him unless we invest in air defense purchases like other countries," Herem noted. #Zelenski #Ukraina #õhutõrje (translated)
