A representative of the 'Student List' movement said Serbia will maintain its long-standing relationship with Russia and will not impose sanctions on Russia. Preliminary results of the October 25 parliamentary election show the student-led opposition won 52.73% of the vote, defeating the SNS party of former president Aleksandar Vucic, who conceded defeat but warned Serbia could abandon its resistance to EU pressure and sanctions on Russia within months. Russia remains Serbia's main gas supplier, covering about three-quarters of demand, and a preferential supply deal has been extended through the end of 2026. The Kremlin said it hopes to keep a mutually beneficial relationship with Serbia.

- US proposes new plan to resolve Russia-Ukraine conflict
According to The Economist, citing Ukrainian officials, the US has reportedly proposed new terms for a peace deal to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict: Ukraine would drop its bid to join NATO, establish a demilitarized zone in Donbass, and restore the Nord Stream pipeline. In return, Russia would receive eased sanctions and resumed gas supplies to Europe, while Ukraine would get an “investment package” and EU membership. Neither Russia nor Ukraine has commented. The Kremlin said Putin sent no settlement documents via US envoy Steve Witkoff, but presidential aide Yury Ushakov said Russia is ready to resume trilateral talks with the US and Ukraine within the first 10 days of November, focusing on post-conflict security. Alexander Gusarov of Russia’s Foreign Ministry said Moscow has no doubt about Trump’s goodwill, but warned that US political and partisan dynamics could significantly affect Congress’s Russia agenda, including the sanctions bill known as the “Lindsey Graham Act”.
- Russia and US quietly prepare major deals
According to Russian outlet MK.ru on 24 October, Russia and the United States are quietly preparing further major economic projects before the end of 2026, following the diesel deal, covering rare earths, fertilisers, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and aluminium. A Russian diesel tanker left the port of Primorsk on 23 October bound for New York, after US President Donald Trump directed the issuance of a temporary licence for Russia-related fuel activity. Kirill Dmitriev of RDIF said this may be only the tip of a broader process, with diesel and fertilisers seen as the areas most likely to move quickly. Rare earths, LNG and aluminium still face obstacles, and a USD 15 billion aluminium project in Krasnoyarsk is considered unlikely to be implemented in the short term. Economist Nikita Maslennikov says high inflation and unstable investment conditions remain major obstacles to US capital returning to Russia.
- Former CEO Alleges Russia’s Novatek Is “Behind” US$25 Billion Alaska LNG Project
Polar Train LNG is developing a US$25 billion LNG export facility on Alaska’s North Slope as part of the Trump administration’s plan to expand U.S. energy exports to Asia. Former CEO Joel Riddle alleges that Russia’s Novatek, which is on U.S. sanctions lists, funded the project and influenced its strategy before he resigned on September 19. Polar LNG calls him a disgruntled former employee whose contract was terminated and says all activities comply with U.S. law, while Novatek denies the allegations and says it licensed its technology to Abu Dhabi-based TechWave. The Financial Times reviewed WhatsApp messages in which a senior Novatek executive discussed funding the project, and a proposal reportedly linked Novatek’s technology support to U.S. sanctions relief on Arctic LNG 2, which Novatek rejects. The U.S. Treasury did not comment directly but said it takes potential sanctions violations seriously.
- European Commission rejects US peace plan on transit of Russian gas through Ukraine
The European Commission said it will not lift restrictions on Russia until the war ends, rejecting a US proposal to restore Russian gas transit through Ukraine as part of a peace deal, according to spokesperson Paula Pinho. According to negotiations, US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner floated the idea to Ukrainian and European officials, including President Zelensky, with Russia gaining export revenue and Ukraine earning money from gas flowing through its territory. Germany reacted especially strongly, fearing a return to dependence on Russian energy. The US also discussed letting American investors take part in supply, including Nord Stream projects, and could receive part of the profits from Russian gas exports.
- Gas flows via Nord Stream to Europe could restart quickly
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on October 21 that Russia could quickly restore gas supplies to Europe via the intact Nord Stream line, and the other three lines could be technically restored if needed. He said resumption depends mainly on Germany and European political will. Line B is fully built and filled with technical gas but has not been certified due to sanctions, and Moscow says operating it also requires mandatory legal procedures. On October 20, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said German Chancellor Friedrich Merz would not restore the pipeline even if prices rose several times over. The New York Times reported that the Trump administration proposed that Europe resume Russian gas supplies and Nord Stream operations as part of a plan to settle the conflict in Ukraine.
- EU Blames Russia for Drone Attacks on Ships in Bulgaria Black Sea Waters - Novinite . com
The European Council formally blamed Russia for drone attacks on commercial vessels in the exclusive economic zones of Bulgaria and Romania in the Black Sea, calling them a serious breach of international law and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Its summit conclusions also condemn Russian attacks on Ukraine's agricultural infrastructure, ports, export facilities and vessels, accuse Moscow of using food as a weapon, and call for safe passage to be restored immediately in the Black Sea. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said imported fossil fuel costs have risen by 106 billion euros since the Middle East war began, with gas prices up about 140% since the end of February and diesel prices doubled. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv needs an additional 70 billion euros on top of the agreed 90-billion-euro loan.

- Brazil Stocks Plunged. Should You Buy the Dip in MercadoLibre?
Brazilian stocks plunged after Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva held on to victory in the presidential election, against expectations of a win for business-friendly candidate Flavio Balsonaro; the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ) fell 19.8% on Monday and MercadoLibre (MELI) dropped 7.8%. The author argues Lula's policies would essentially maintain the status quo, and that MercadoLibre's weaker stock performance over the past few years stems mainly from competition from Amazon and Shopee and falling profit margins as it invests. Second-quarter revenue rose 50% to $10.2 billion, and the company became the first to record 30 straight quarters of 30%-plus revenue growth. The author sees the stock trading at a discount, with a forward P/E of around 30, and notes that analysts expect margins to expand again next year.
