According to TASS, the US Treasury may review a sanctions exemption request from the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) through its standard process, an anonymous US official said. This is only an initial review and does not mean Washington has decided to lift restrictions; RDIF was placed on the sanctions list on February 28, 2022. RDIF CEO Kirill Dmitriev, who is also Putin's special envoy, is taking part in contacts aimed at boosting Russia-US economic ties and finding a solution to the Ukraine conflict. Earlier, on October 9, President Trump announced a deal with President Putin to bring Russian diesel back to the US and international markets, with planned shipments of about 300,000 tonnes in October, 500,000 tonnes in November and one million tonnes after that. If sanctions are eventually eased, the article says, this could open more room for economic cooperation between the two countries.

- Russia ready to resume three-way talks with Ukraine and US after November 4
On 25/10, Russian presidential foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said Russia is ready to resume three-way talks with Ukraine and the US after November 4, but does not expect much from the meeting. The statement followed remarks by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about a new round of talks expected in the first half of November, possibly in Abu Dhabi. Ushakov said a peace agreement “still needs to be finalized.” Earlier, US envoy Steve Witkoff met Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg for three hours and said discussions would continue at the technical level. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has recently criticized Zelensky strongly, threatened to cut intelligence sharing with Kyiv and loosen sanctions on Russian oil exports.
- Trump waives new Russia sanctions
President Trump has temporarily waived for 60 days some sanctions targeting Russia's energy sector and economy, saying he is negotiating peace and does not want to drive Russia away from the bargaining table. The measures are part of the bipartisan Lindsey Graham Act passed last month, which targets Putin, senior military leaders, Russian financial institutions and energy projects, as well as a 'shadow fleet' of oil tankers, and imposes tariffs on buyers of Russian oil and gas, including China and India. The decision drew criticism: Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called it a historic mistake, and Republican Sen. Darline Graham said she would keep the pressure on Russia. It came a week after Trump revealed a deal letting Russia export diesel to the global market, though analysts say this will do little to lower diesel prices. Gas prices have risen more than 34% year over year, according to the latest government inflation data.
- Trump waives new Russia sanctions
President Donald Trump has temporarily waived some sanctions targeting Russia's energy sector and economy, saying he is negotiating peace and does not want to drive Russia away from the bargaining table. The administration said the waiver will last 60 days. The sanctions are part of the bipartisan Lindsey Graham Act passed last month, which also targets Russian President Vladimir Putin, a “shadow fleet” of oil tankers, and countries buying Russian oil and gas through tariffs. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the decision “unfortunate” and “a historic mistake,” and bipartisan lawmakers, including Sen. Darline Graham, also criticized the pause. Gas prices have risen more than 34% year over year, according to the latest government inflation data.
- President Trump Keeps Handing Russia ‘Sweet Fruit’
Russia has repeatedly gained ground, from a proposal to ease sanctions on Russian diesel to growing US pressure on Ukraine, as President Trump's domestic political challenges increasingly align with Moscow's interests. Trump proposed easing sanctions on Russian diesel, publicly urged Ukraine to replace its leadership and pressed Kyiv to stop attacking Russian oil facilities, yet the Kremlin said Russia was not ready to negotiate with Ukraine and Russian forces attacked Zaporizhzhia the next day. His October 11 ‘energy ceasefire' only mentioned halting attacks on refineries, though Ukraine has just one major refinery, which Russian strikes have largely kept idle since 2022. Economists say the deal is unlikely to significantly lower diesel prices, which they largely attribute to the Iran war that pushed oil from about 60 USD to over 100 USD per barrel, and Kyiv views the move as a betrayal. Trump is also expected to host Putin at the G20 summit in Miami in December.
- US-Russia rapprochement: Must Ukraine accept 'peace at any cost'?
US-Ukraine relations are reportedly at their lowest as Trump repeatedly criticised President Zelensky and suggested others should negotiate on Ukraine's behalf. Since early October 2026, the US has signed a deal to buy Russian diesel, waived some sanctions and tariffs under the Lindsey O. Graham Act, and pressed Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil refineries. Kyiv accuses Washington of delaying Patriot and AIM-9X interceptors, limiting early warnings and slowing Starlink/Starshield until service was restored in late October. Many experts say Trump wants a diplomatic result before the midterm elections, while Kyiv still refuses to recognise Russian sovereignty over occupied territory. A three-way US-Russia-Ukraine negotiation is expected in early November 2026.
- Trump says he'd meet with Putin and Xi, criticizes Zelenskyy
President Donald Trump said he would meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss ending the Ukraine war, and suggested such a meeting could happen without Zelenskyy present. He said Russia and China have done 'very little' to help Tehran, which has been accused of receiving their support in its military efforts against the U.S. Trump also criticized Zelenskyy's reaction to his decision to waive new sanctions against Russia, saying Zelenskyy 'doesn't know what he's talking about' and should have settled the war long ago. He added that 'it's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine,' echoing his earlier call for Kyiv to get a new president.

- Meta Platforms Just Delivered Great News to AI Stock Investors
Meta announced several stock offerings this week, including a $22.5 billion offering upsized to $25 billion, plans to sell $12.5 billion of preferred stock, and $60 billion of new non-voting Class C stock, totaling $97.5 billion. The move comes amid investor concern over rising interest rates and a tight credit market, after CoreWeave's bond yields reached as high as 15%, which triggered a sell-off in neocloud and AI infrastructure stocks such as Oracle. Media reports said the offering was oversubscribed five times, meaning Meta could have sold $125 billion of stock, with Nvidia and AMD among the investors. The article argues this demand signals strong funding for AI and notes Meta trades at a P/E of around 21 after its post-earnings sell-off. It also suggests some of that money could go to Anthropic's planned IPO at a valuation of around $2 trillion next month.
- Otto Group and Sereact Bring NVIDIA-Powered Physical AI to Returns Processing
Otto Group and Sereact will deploy AI-controlled dual-arm robots at a logistics center in Poland in two phases, starting with 10 robots and adding 15 more if initial results are positive, for a total of 25. The robots run Sereact's Cortex Physical AI model, which can handle items it has never encountered without product-specific training, and Cortex is trained with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab and Cosmos. Under a Robotics-as-a-Service model, Sereact operates and maintains the systems, while employees shift to supervision, exception handling and quality checks. The project is part of Otto Group's medium-term commitment to invest €350 million in technology and AI, and the group will evaluate a wider rollout across its logistics network if phase two succeeds.
- Why US President Donald Trump Will Ban the Term “AI” (Artificial Intelligence)
President Donald Trump said he will ban the term “artificial intelligence” from official documents and other areas, calling it inaccurate and preferring “super intelligence” (SI). The executive order says the executive branch will no longer accept “artificial intelligence” and “AI” in appropriate contexts from now on, but does not require agencies to revise existing rules, contracts or documents. Science and technology adviser Michael Kratsios has 60 days to determine how far the new term will replace the current legal definition of “artificial intelligence.” Trump has disliked the term since July 2025, ran a Truth Social poll in September 2026, and after meeting with billionaires who lead AI companies, signed what he called an ethics-binding deal, known as the White House Accord on Super Intelligence.
- Billionaire Ken Griffin Says AI Is "Almost Certainly" in a Bubble. Here's What That Means for Crypto Investors.
At Citadel’s Future of Global Markets Conference in New York, billionaire Ken Griffin said AI is “almost certainly” in a bubble, while remaining optimistic about companies that survive the bursting. The article says it is hard to tell which AI firms will be winners or losers, which is why the stock market struggles to value many AI stocks. For crypto investors, it outlines shifting capital from AI-linked assets toward more established names such as Bitcoin, which has risen to $80,000 from a summer low of $60,000 and is seen by some as a possible safe haven. It also points to the intersection of AI and blockchain, citing NEAR Protocol, which is up nearly 180% this year, and cautions against crypto firms that have recently pivoted to AI.
