Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia will consider proposals from US negotiators but will make no political concessions. He noted that a new US president is not bound by predecessors' decisions, a position that could be used as leverage for envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to keep visiting Russia under Trump and seek an arrangement. Lavrov said Russia would consider any proposal that benefits it economically and financially, but it must not come with political concessions, and it should not expect favorable political conditions on every global issue. He made these remarks on October 20 at a meeting with university graduates admitted to diplomacy for the first time.

- Trump Russia deals are not his to make – European Council on Foreign Relations
- Ukraine Ready to Do Something Unprecedented to End Conflict with Russia
On October 21, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv is ready to freeze the current front line to end the conflict with Russia and keep most of the territory it controls. Ukraine will meet US President Donald Trump and European leaders to seek security guarantees. The Kremlin said Vladimir Putin agreed in principle to resume trilateral talks with the US and Ukraine, possibly after November 10, following a roughly three-hour meeting with envoy Steve Witkoff, during which Russia agreed to release US teacher Stephen Hubbard. Republican Senator Bill Cassidy called Ukraine's absence from the talks absurd, while Zelensky said the US-Russia diesel deal aims to pressure Kyiv into giving up Donbas and that he will not resign.
- Russian President Putin Agrees to Resume Three-Way Talks with Ukraine and US
Putin said he is ready to resume three-way talks among Russia, Ukraine and the US in mid-November, focusing on post-conflict security arrangements. The remarks followed a three-hour meeting in St. Petersburg with US envoy Steve Witkoff, who presented new peace proposals and suggested technical groups to address outstanding issues. The Kremlin, however, said the new proposals backed by Ukraine and European countries did not meet Moscow's expectations. Russia and the US also reached a diesel supply deal, with a first 40,000-tonne cargo, and Putin offered to mediate in the US-Iran conflict, though no summit with Trump and Xi Jinping has been agreed or announced. The talks come amid rising tensions between Trump and Zelensky, and the outlook for a deal remains unclear.
- US Says Ukraine Would Not Exist Without Washington’s Backing
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Ukraine “would not exist” without US support, including under the Trump administration. Responding to a Wall Street Journal report that Elon Musk ordered Starlink slowed, a system Ukraine uses to counter Russian aerial attacks, Rubio said the US neither knew in advance nor directed it, and cannot control how a private company runs its product. He said negotiations are focused on the fate of Donbas and that “both sides will have to give up something.” President Zelensky said he discussed intelligence sharing and Starlink access with envoy Steve Witkoff, whose trip also aims to plan a three-way meeting between US, Ukrainian and Russian leaders.
- Russian President Putin unexpectedly proposes a Russia–US–China summit on ending the Ukraine conflict: How is China responding?
According to Beijing Daily, on October 19 a Bloomberg reporter asked China's Foreign Ministry about reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a summit with Chinese and U.S. leaders next month to discuss ending the Ukraine crisis. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said she had no information to provide. The Wall Street Journal, citing sources close to the matter, reported that the Kremlin proposed a three-way dialogue on the sidelines of an upcoming informal APEC leaders' meeting, and that the idea was raised in an October 9 call between Putin and Donald Trump. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed the parties are discussing a possible meeting but said there is no clear consensus on the meeting or its agenda, although all three sides acknowledge it is theoretically feasible.
- Zelensky Lobbies US Senators to Pressure Trump
According to an Axios transcript, Ukrainian President Zelensky urged bipartisan US senators to pressure President Trump in an online meeting on Oct. 19 hosted by Republican Thom Tillis and Democrat Richard Blumenthal. He complained of disrupted weapons deliveries, satellite communications and early warnings of Russian missile attacks, arguing the administration was deliberately slowing support to push Ukraine toward a settlement with Russia. The backdrop is Trump's growing frustration over Ukraine's refusal to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries, which the White House says worsens the global diesel shortage and raises US fuel prices, as well as his Oct. 9, 2026 deal with Putin easing Russian diesel export curbs, which Ukraine condemned. Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner reportedly warned Ukraine that US weapons and intelligence support means it should avoid attacks that hurt American consumers, which Ukrainian officials took as a threat to halt aid, though the administration denies issuing any ultimatum. Zelensky also accused War Secretary Pete Hegseth of delaying Patriot and AIM-9X missiles that NATO countries bought for Ukraine.

- Musk's wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla: Here's what to know
Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to study a merger, which would be worth about $3.5 trillion combined and would be the largest corporate deal in history. SpaceX, valued at about $2 trillion after a record listing this year, absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI in February, while Tesla is valued at about $1.5 trillion. Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla. Dan Ives puts the odds of a deal at 90 percent by early 2027, though Musk called the requirement of a majority of all Tesla shares 'quite a high hurdle'. Loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares, and legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation to Texas from Delaware.
- CoreWeave and Nebius Stocks Are Crashing. Time to Buy the Dip?
Shares of Nebius and CoreWeave each fell 25% in the week of October 12 to 16. The sell-off stems from the yield on CoreWeave's debt in the secondary market surging to 15%, versus roughly 5% on Treasuries, which pushes the debt into 'distressed' territory and signals doubts about its ability to meet obligations. Nebius sold off in sympathy as a fellow neocloud company. The bigger concern is that both companies must keep issuing debt to fund data centers, and if yields are high at issuance, the assumption of nearly unlimited cheap capital could be challenged. The author says it is unclear whether now is the time to buy.
- Disney’s multiplatform Super Bowl plan frustrates ABC affiliates
ABC station owners are irritated that Disney is airing the Super Bowl across several platforms, including Disney+, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPNU, even though the game is already on ABC and ESPN. A station group CEO estimates that the combined platforms could cut broadcast ad revenue by up to 35% compared with last year. Local affiliates typically earn about 3% of annual ad revenue from the Super Bowl and pay network owners reverse retransmission fees, but Disney+ lacks geofenced ad insertion, so affiliates cannot sell ads to streaming viewers. Disney says national commercials will be identical on all platforms and that streaming major live events is standard industry practice. Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in February.
- Meta’s deal to keep Zuckerberg in California adds fuel to wealth tax debate ahead of election
Meta says Mark Zuckerberg will remain in California for eight years and has created a new stock plan that could help cover his taxes if Proposition 40, a 5% tax on Californians worth over $1 billion, passes on Election Day on Nov. 3. According to a filing released with its third-quarter earnings, Meta will issue non-voting Class C shares starting in January, and Zuckerberg can sell or transfer up to 20% of the shares granted to him without affecting his majority voting control. The filing says Zuckerberg’s leadership is crucial to the company’s growth and its AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs. Most of the tech industry opposes the measure, while a recent Citrin-Politico poll found 46% in favor and 43% against, suggesting it may fall short of the majority support it needs.
- Nasdaq sell-off: A momentum unwind 'for the record books'
Matt Stucky, chief portfolio manager for equities at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, calls Thursday’s sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) a momentum unwind “for the record books.” He says the market spent the first half of 2026 driven by a beta and momentum trade led by semiconductors, but in the third quarter, as rates rose, money shifted into quality stocks. He does not think the sell-off is justified by fundamentals, arguing that institutional portfolio managers swapping out of factor positions can drag down whole baskets of stocks. In semiconductors, spot rental rates for Nvidia Blackwell chips are higher than a month ago, showing tightening compute supply, even as financing costs rise and investors worry about neocloud business models and the rising cost of insuring their bonds.
- Dune launches real-time data feeds covering 200 onchain trading venues
Blockchain analytics platform Dune has launched real-time market data feeds covering more than 200 onchain trading venues, aiming to bring this data into the systems of traditional financial institutions. The feeds draw trade data from 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, about one second after execution, covering both spot trading on decentralized exchanges and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and Lighter. Early clients include quant funds, market makers, asset managers and bank trading desks, which use the data to assess liquidity and compare prices, though Dune did not name them. Meanwhile, the tokenized stock market has grown sharply, with distributed value reaching $3.58 billion, but 16 companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs, have objected to their shares being traded on OKXICE’s proposed platform, and liquidity remains fragmented.
