Russia-Ukraine War

The Ukrainian president calls for a cease-fire before peace negotiations take place, while U.S. President Donald Trump repeats his pledge to finalize a deal.

The test is the second time Moscow has tried out part of its nuclear arsenal this month, following the testing of Burevestnik cruise missile on Oct. 21.

Lukoil is moving to offload holdings in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa as Washington tightens pressure on Moscow to end Ukraine war.

For three days, Vilnius airport was forced to suspend air traffic because of balloons suspected of being used to smuggle contraband cigarettes.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said that nothing about the missile test could worsen relations, as they are ‘already at a minimum.’

Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Burevestnik missile a ‘unique weapon.’

‘I’ve always had a very great relationship with Vladimir Putin, but this has been very disappointing,’ Trump said.

A senior market analyst said Russia’s fiscal health and the stability of its currency was linked to movements in the price of crude oil.

Kim Jong-un made the announcement at a groundbreaking ceremony for a monument to the country’s troops that have died fighting in Russia’s Kursk region.

‘The president wants to see action, not just talk,’ White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Last month, Russian military assets entered Polish and Estonian airspace in two separate incidents that triggered NATO responses.

The sanctions were a direct response to Moscow’s perceived unwillingness to pause the fighting in Ukraine.

The move comes a day after Trump announced tougher sanctions on Moscow.

He called the news report claiming that he had done so ‘fake news.’

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he is confident that European leaders will address the use of Russian frozen assets.

‘Every time I speak with Vladimir, I have good conversations, and then they don’t go anywhere. They just don’t go anywhere,’ the U.S. president said.

The United States announced a new round of sanctions targeting Russian oil companies on the same day.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. ‘is prepared to take further action if necessary’ and called on Moscow to immediately agree to a cease-fire.

Russia conducts wide-ranging missile tests after announcing progress on new nuclear weapons, coinciding with the postponement of U.S.–Russia talks in Budapest.
