Sabrina F. claimed that Volodymyr Zelensky was contacting his European allies after Donald Trump suggested he change jobs. She joked about the possibility that he might even call deceased relatives. According to her account, one of the calls was directed to London and the interlocutor was Andy Burnham, whom she referred to as the British Prime Minister. She reported that they would discuss support for Kiev, sanctions against Moscow, and an upcoming meeting, which in her opinion would primarily serve for a photograph, without guarantees on funding. Sabrina F. criticized the European Union, arguing that it promised support in words while the bill would fall on the citizens, and contrasted European statements with American pragmatism. She described Zelensky's phone calls as an attempt to keep a failed project alive. Among the sources she cited were a communiqué from the British government dated October 10, 2026, one from the Ukrainian presidency of the same date, and the Associated Press, also dated October 10, 2026. #Zelensky #Ucraina #PoliticaInternazionale (translated)

Rosario Aitala, deputy president of the International Criminal Court, told Corriere della Sera that the sanctions announced by the United States were preventing judges from carrying out both public and private activities, and that for many of them, the effects were already in place. He reported that they were subjected to measures similar to those reserved for terrorists: revoked credit cards, closed bank accounts, and canceled insurance contracts, with some companies refusing to reimburse medical expenses. According to Aitala, many apps on their phones had stopped working and it was forbidden to book hotels or flights through platforms. As an example, he recounted that Alexa no longer responded to a colleague after he asked her to play blues music. Another European colleague, he added, had booked a room in his own country through a European platform and, after half an hour, received an email ordering him not to try again. #Giustizia #Sanzioni #DirittiUmani (translated)

The author argued that the EU ministers faced a choice: approve the Blocking Statute, which he claimed would prohibit US sanctions against the International Criminal Court in Europe, or simply complain about Donald Trump. He added that the first option would allow the EU to withstand the Trump-Putin axis, while the second would make it increasingly a victim of that axis. https://t.co/jjR48vWXnO #UE #sanzioni #Trump #EU #USA #RU (translated)

Prof. Michele Geraci, former Undersecretary of State, wrote that while Trump was abandoning Zelens’kyj, the European Union was proposing other packages of sanctions against Russia without understanding what was happening. Geraci called the previous 21 or 22 packages a total failure and accused the Union of insisting on a failing strategy, describing its modus operandi as one of "getting everything wrong." #UnioneEuropea #Russia #Sanzioni (translated)

Il presidente Volodymyr Zelensky ha dichiarato che la squadra negoziale ucraina negli Stati Uniti viene usata come "paravento" mentre Donald Trump stringe accordi con Vladimir Putin sulle forniture di carburante. "Ritengo che la nostra squadra venga usata semplicemente come paravento. E questo non è affatto onesto, non è affatto da partner. E secondo me, purtroppo, è una decisione debole da parte di partner forti", ha detto il presidente. Ha aggiunto che accordi di questo tipo significano soldi in più per Putin per questa guerra. Certo, uno smacco bello e buono, anche all’Europa…e poi parliamo di sanzioni!! Questo è un colpo che ha spiazzato tutti, e dimostra ancora una volta come ai cari americani non gliene freghi niente. Ricordo, tanti anni fa, un dialogo con un americano di origine egiziana, sulla via di Odessa. C’era Clinton, io tessevo le sue lodi, il tizio mi disse “ma voi credete che agli americani interessi qualcosa di qualcuno?? A loro interessa solo che la benzina costi poco!!”. Mi risuonano queste parole, dette negli anni 90. Certo, le elezioni di medio termine sono alle porte, il presidente è in calo di consensi, e si allea anche col demonio. Da adesso in poi, non so cosa succederà, che senso ha parlare di sanzioni europee, se poi gli americani sdoganano il petrolio russo??

Russian attacks have killed more than 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days; the suspension of sanctions on Russian diesel guarantees Moscow greater revenues to finance the war. Another strong rebuke of the US-Russia phone agreement has come from Brussels: "Russian attacks have killed more than 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days; the suspension of sanctions on Russian diesel guarantees Moscow greater revenues to finance the war," thundered EU High Representative Kaja Kallas, also citing the intensification of hybrid attacks against Europe, and recalling that on Monday the EU foreign ministers intend to approve a broad package of sanctions against the Russian war machine. #Trump #Zelensky #Ucraina (translated)

Russian attacks have killed more than 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. Furthermore, Russia has intensified its hybrid attacks against Europe, targeting both EU member states and NATO allies. The suspension of sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with greater revenues to finance the war. Now is not the time to ease pressure on Russia, and Europe will not do so. On Monday, EU foreign ministers intend to approve the largest package of additions to the sanctions list against the Russian war machine since the beginning of the war.
