- What President Trump wants to do with both Ukraine and Russia
President Trump said the US will do business with both Ukraine and Russia after the conflict ends, despite criticism of efforts to restore trade ties with Moscow. He argued Washington should have secured greater financial returns from the billions of dollars in aid to Kyiv under Joe Biden. The announcement came as the first Russian diesel tanker, which left the Primorsk port, was en route to New York under a supply deal announced on October 9, covering 40,000 tonnes of fuel. Moscow then eased restrictions on diesel exports, allowing production of 500,000 tonnes, which would be the first time since 2022 that Russian diesel has been shipped to the US. Trump said the deal aims to ease fuel costs before the November midterm elections, but a plan to import about 900,000 tonnes of Russian diesel has drawn criticism from European allies, Ukraine and members of Congress, who say the cargoes could evade sanctions.
- Signs French protests have not peaked; second wave about to begin?
France’s Interior Ministry said 410,000 people joined marches on 24/10, and 70,000 police were deployed to prevent a repeat of the looting seen in riots that spread across several cities on 17/10. Union leaders have called for protests on 31/10 and a nationwide strike on 5/11, citing growing anger over wages, living costs and public services, and the Yellow Vest movement has called for large marches on the same Saturday. The government has opened talks with unions and student representatives, but protest leaders say they have received no response so far. Police unions warn they cannot sustain such high deployment, and 1,314 people were arrested on 24/10, about half the previous week’s number, with around 50 officers injured. Macron, whose term ends in April next year, has limited room to meet demands due to strained public finances and no longer holds a majority for key bills.

- Keystone says website breach exposed hardware wallet buyers’ addresses
Hardware wallet maker Keystone said an unauthorized third party accessed customer shipping information through a website breach, including names, contact details, shipping addresses and order details, after it confirmed the incident on Friday following a review of API activity with Shopify. The company said it has blocked access, fixed the vulnerability, opened an investigation and is emailing affected customers, but did not disclose how many were impacted. Security researcher Taylor Monahan warned the leaked addresses could expose holders to physical attacks and kidnappings, and blockchain security firm CertiK recorded 52 verified wrench attacks worldwide in the first half of 2026, up 33% from the same period last year. Some customers said they received breach notices despite buying devices more than two years ago, raising questions about Keystone’s 2023 pledge to cut data retention to 180 days. Keystone had not responded to Cointelegraph’s questions by publication time.
- Rules on reissuing old land certificates that list “thổ cư” as the land type
A resident reported that his father’s land certificate, issued in February 1995, lists 1,100 m² of “thổ cư” land, and the land registration office returned the reissuance file because the area exceeded the limit and this land type is not among those under the current Land Law. The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said such cases must be assessed against archived records and local rules, citing clause 2 of Decree No. 49/2026/NĐ-CP dated 31/01/2026: for certificates issued before 01/07/2004 that do not specify the residential area, the provincial People’s Committee sets how that area is determined. This can be done together with a land registration change or separately under the province’s procedure. Residents may send feedback or petitions to the People’s Committee or the Department of Agriculture and Environment for guidance.
