Relations between President Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky have deteriorated, as Trump has grown frustrated with Kyiv's repeated strikes on Russia's diesel infrastructure while diesel prices have reached record highs. On September 13, Trump began publicly urging Ukraine to halt these strikes, but Kyiv refused, saying long-range drone attacks are its only viable response to Russia's five-year campaign. On October 9, Trump announced an agreement to buy diesel from Moscow and issued a temporary general license allowing Russian diesel to access global markets. On October 22, Trump said he had asked SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to restore Ukraine's access to Starlink, after an interruption had hampered Kyiv's military drone operations. Peace efforts have yet to produce concrete results, and negotiators from Ukraine, Russia and the US are expected to meet in Abu Dhabi in the first half of November.

- 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.
- 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.
- At 9:27, Russian Defence Ministry issues urgent announcement: Putin's order has begun, one country rattled by weapons that cannot be intercepted
According to a special announcement by Russia's Defence Ministry at 9:27 a.m. local time on October 19, Russian forces carried out an overnight retaliatory strike on Kyiv and nearby areas, targeting the “Data Group” data center and facilities Moscow says produce drone, missile or military-material components. Citing Russian sources reported by TST, air defence units intercepted 1,015 UAVs across several attack waves, while Kyiv was reportedly hit by about 10 ballistic missiles, causing widespread power outages. Putin was briefed on the battlefield and reportedly affirmed the need to continue large-scale strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. U.S. President Donald Trump criticised Zelensky for not wanting peace, arguing that Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries also affect global energy markets. Ukrainian serviceman Yevgeny Bekrenev assessed that the conflict has reached a stalemate and that prolonged fighting only adds casualties.
- US President Trump says he has 'no goodwill' toward Ukrainian President Zelensky
President Trump said negotiating with Zelensky is harder than with Putin, arguing that Zelensky does not really want a deal. He criticized Ukraine for resuming strikes on Russian oil refineries, including one in Ryazan about 290 km southeast of Moscow, saying the attacks push up global oil prices. He also raised the possibility of new elections in Ukraine, which has kept martial law since February 2022 and where Zelensky's term ended in 2024. Trump added that the US is rebuilding its weapons stockpiles, is discussing nuclear disarmament with Russia and China, and predicted China could catch up within 5 or 6 years.
- Russia Launches Heavy Strikes, Zelensky Reveals US-Related Issue: What Happened in Kyiv?
Ukrainian President Zelensky said Kyiv received no warning from Western partners before a “particularly intense” ballistic missile attack on the capital overnight on 12 October, in which five missiles hit civilian infrastructure. CNN reported that, for the first time since Trump's announcement of an “energy ceasefire” on 11 October, Russia did not strike Ukraine's energy targets overnight, though it continued hitting transport and logistics facilities with ballistic missiles and drones. Reuters reported that US officials threatened to halt intelligence sharing and arms sales unless Kyiv stopped attacking Russian refineries, while Trump said the US still shares intelligence with Ukraine. Zelensky said intelligence on ballistic missile launches has saved many lives and that Kyiv is ready for new meetings with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The Kremlin said the sides remain in contact on the energy ceasefire but declined to give further details.
- Ukrainian Leader Comments on Trump-Putin Relationship
In an interview with ABC on Oct. 24, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have a very good relationship, and that Trump should use the same tone with Putin as he does with Zelensky. Zelensky said he did not know what could change Ukraine–US relations as Russia and the US draw closer, and stressed that keeping friendly contacts with Putin is Trump's personal choice. He said he does not feel betrayed by the US but does not regard its current actions as support for Ukraine. Earlier, Russian special envoy Kirill Dmitriev urged Zelensky to refrain from advising Trump, while Federation Council Deputy Chair Konstantin Kosachev said Trump-Zelensky relations had worsened because Ukraine disregarded US initiatives to resolve the conflict.

- Frank Elderson: Taking action for nature – investing in economic resilience and prosperity
Frank Elderson, ECB Executive Board member and Vice-Chair of the Supervisory Board, told the COP17 Finance and Biodiversity Day in Yerevan that the world must move from targets to implementation and treat protecting nature as investment rather than spending. He argued that degraded ecosystems raise firms' costs, reduce productivity and disrupt supply chains, noting that 72% of euro area companies depend on at least one ecosystem service and 75% of euro area corporate lending goes to firms highly dependent on one. Citing this summer's drought, he said major rivers including the Rhine, Loire, Po and Danube fell to exceptionally low levels, forcing critical nuclear plants to shut down and hitting hydropower and supply chains. He noted the Kunming-Montreal framework aims for living in harmony with nature by 2050 but progress has been limited, and that ECB analysis suggests the potential consequences could be much larger.
- Momentum of savings rate increases likely ended
According to newly released State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) data, average deposit rates at commercial banks rose a further 0.1 percentage points in September, extending the upward run to 11 consecutive months, though the pace has slowed from 0.3 points a month in late last year and early this year. The article says the rise is likely to end this month after many banks cut their minimum deposit rates by 0.5 percentage points on SBV instructions. Under dispatch No. 9736/NHNN-CSTT dated 21 October 2026, the SBV requires commercial banks to cut average deposit rates on new transactions with tenors of 6 months or longer by at least 0.5% per year in the final months of 2026, compared with rates reported between 11 October and 20 October 2026. Many analysts expect rates to hold flat until year-end and decline gradually from 2027, while the SBV warns that banks failing to comply could face tougher measures, including reviewing or lowering credit growth targets.
