BrennpunktUA wrote that the US midterm elections are in three weeks, and by then no Russian diesel will reach the USA. Trump knows this and doesn't really need the fuel but is looking for someone to blame for the high diesel prices, according to the author's assessment. Trump had already tried to blame Ukraine a few weeks ago. This attempt failed because the situation with Iran and in the SoH is 90 percent responsible for price development. Given the poor prospects for the Republicans, Trump is now once again trying to bring a deal with Putin into play. BrennpunktUA advised Ukraine not to attack Russian refineries in the coming three weeks and instead focus on other strategic targets. Otherwise, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could fall into Trump's trap. The author also asked where the diesel was suddenly supposed to come from and wrote that the fuel shortage in Russia is not over, and the country continues to import refined fuel for its own population. From his experience, nothing happens in the last four weeks before a major US election that is not related to the election. Trump will try to lower gas prices with PR actions in the coming three weeks and present this as his own success. If the Democrats get outraged over Trump's push for Russian diesel, they could also fall into the trap, BrennpunktUA wrote. Trump could then present himself as the one ensuring that Americans can afford their fuel fill-up. #Trump #USA #Wahlen (translated)

The exploratory talks have shown that we are united by themes and goals that our country needs now: a strong economy and good jobs, affordable living, and cohesion in society. We want to be more than an alliance of three parties; namely, a coalition for all of MV. The SPD state chairwoman Manuela Schwesig, who had invited to the exploratory talks, said: "The exploratory talks have shown that we are united by themes and goals that our country needs now: a strong economy and good jobs, affordable living, and cohesion in society. We want to be more than an alliance of three parties; namely, a coalition for all of MV." #Koalitionsverhandlungen #MecklenburgVorpommern #Bürgerbeteiligung (translated)

Thomas Jäger wrote that the development continues and asked who could prevent Russia from becoming the dominant power in all of Europe. Neither the USA, which could once again take Point Alpha, nor Germany were suitable for this, he said. Putin wants to complete Stalin's goals in Europe; they are already looking forward to it in Magdeburg, Jäger added. #Russland #Europa #Putin (translated)

Szymon Jadczak wrote that the dispute over the match between Legia Warsaw and Wisła Kraków has turned into a political scandal that, in his opinion, undermines the credibility of Donald Tusk and Marcin Kierwiński. He claimed that for three years, individuals associated with Legia had tried to block Wisła fans from entering stadiums in Poland, and the boycott of their participation in matches was broken a few months earlier, after Wisła's promotion to the Ekstraklasa. According to Jadczak, the clubs provided fictitious reasons to prevent Wisła fans from entering, and Śląsk Wrocław paid a fine of one million zlotys for this. The author accused Legia of invoking a pretended renovation and letters from the Board of Greenery of Warsaw and the Polish Police to close the away sector. He wrote that in recent days the club had remained silent, and the police and officials did not oppose the arrival of Wisła fans. He added that the Ekstraklasa statement published that day indicated that Legia had a letter from the police allowing it to close the sector. Jadczak assessed that if the content of the statement is confirmed, Legia's officials achieved their goal with the passivity of the Ekstraklasa and the PZPN, as well as the assistance of the Capital City Police Headquarters. He also accused Tusk and Kierwiński of having declarations about an uncompromising fight against fan hooligans that contradicted this situation. #LegiaWarszawa #WisłaKraków #Ekstraklasa (translated)

Torsten Heinrich wrote that the Russian military blogger "Joint Forces Group West" admitted that since the end of September, their own soldiers had been evacuated disguised as civilians from Kupjansk. The soldiers had sought out civilians themselves to form groups and disguise convoys; in some cases, civilians had been persuaded to do so. According to Heinrich, the blogger confirmed recent Ukrainian accusations that civilians had been used as human shields. Heinrich described the evacuation of disguised soldiers as a permissible wartime tactic, provided that it was not intended to kill, injure, or capture Ukrainians. However, the use of civilians to protect military targets, in his assessment, violates Article 51, Paragraph 7 of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions. #Kriegsrecht #Zivilschutz #Ukraine (translated)
