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.

- Russia announces time and venue for three-way talks with U.S. and Ukraine
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said trilateral talks between Russia, the U.S. and Ukraine are expected in Abu Dhabi in the first half of November, and he did not rule out European participation. Earlier, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Oslo on October 20 and then met Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg, with Kirill Dmitriev also present. According to Axios, Russia and Ukraine agreed to resume trilateral talks with U.S. participation. A source told RBC-Ukraine that Kyiv does not expect these contacts to produce an energy ceasefire, seeing delegation-level talks and de-escalation measures as more achievable outcomes. Western media reported that U.S. President Donald Trump wants Zelensky and Putin to sign a peace deal at the G20 summit planned for Florida in December.
- Russia proposes venue for three-way meeting with US and Ukraine
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Abu Dhabi is being discussed as the venue for the next three-way round of talks between Russia, the U.S. and Ukraine, expected in November, but declined to give details on preparations. Putin told U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff that Moscow is ready to resume trilateral talks around mid-November, and aide Yury Ushakov confirmed Abu Dhabi could host them. U.S. Vice President JD Vance said the biggest obstacle is that the two sides still disagree on details of the negotiations, and expressed optimism after Witkoff contacted senior officials in both countries. Witkoff reportedly travelled to St. Petersburg on October 21 carrying documents with terms to resolve the conflict. Some media reports say President Trump wants Zelensky and Putin to sign a peace deal at the G20 summit in Miami, Florida, in December.
- 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.

- Gold market and central banks: Russia, Kazakhstan sell as Poland, China buy
Russia and Kazakhstan are selling part of their central-bank gold reserves, while Poland continues to buy more. Russia's gold reserves fell by about 6.2 tonnes in September, bringing the total reduction since January to about 62 tonnes; only once before, in 1998, did it sell at a similar pace, disposing of 118 tonnes over three months. Expert Adam Stroniawski attributes this to a budget shortfall from the war in Ukraine, and notes that around 100 tonnes of Russian gold reached Hong Kong from January to July, nearly three times the same period last year. Kazakhstan plans to cut gold's share of its total reserves from around 78% to 75% by year-end, possibly to plug a budget deficit or for profit-taking. The expert sees these transactions as unlikely to significantly affect the global gold market, and says Poland is unlikely to sell reserves during the current parliamentary term.
- Should Aggregators block AI Agents?
According to a Bernstein research note dated October 23, aggregators such as Amazon, Uber and DoorDash may be justified in blocking external AI agents for now, as the technology threatens their business models. The analysts said concerns that AI agents will displace established platforms may be premature, though AI could fundamentally reshape how consumers search, shop and transact online. Amazon has already blocked external agents, while JPMorgan and Charles Schwab have restricted third-party agents over liability concerns. Meta's Muse assistant reached 2.5 million daily active users in North America within six weeks of launch, with 25% of weekly users having tried agentic shopping and average purchases exceeding $200. The research suggests smaller competitors may gain share by partnering with AI agents, though blocking may be hard to sustain if consumers increasingly favour AI-driven transactions.
- Got $1,000? This Nuclear Fuel Stock Is the Pick-and-Shovel Play I'd Buy Right Now.
Nuclear energy stocks have fallen this year, with the Global X Uranium ETF (URA) down around 15% year to date as the sector appears to have overheated on enthusiasm over nuclear power deals for AI data centers. The article highlights Centrus Energy (LEU), the lone publicly traded proven U.S. uranium enricher, which operates the only NRC-licensed U.S. facility capable of producing HALEU and finalized a $900 million DOE order in July. Second-quarter revenue rose 13.9% to $176.1 million, full-year revenue is estimated at $450–500 million versus $448.7 million in 2025, and the company holds a $4.5 billion backlog extending to 2040. Adjusted net income grew 12% to $38.7 million, while adjusted EPS was flat at $1.95. The author argues the more than 52% year-to-date decline, with shares trading at about 33 times forward earnings, reflects sector concerns more than the company's sound financial health.
- GM Just Announced a $20 Billion Buyback. Tesla Trades at 350 Times Earnings. Here's Which Auto Stock I'd Buy Today.
The article compares Tesla (TSLA) and General Motors (GM). GM reported third-quarter results on Oct. 20 with revenue of $50 billion, up nearly 3% from last year, approved a new $20 billion share buyback, and raised its full-year adjusted automotive free cash flow guidance to $11.5 billion to $12.5 billion. Wall Street focused on potential cost increases from inflation and lingering EV losses, which the author believes are largely overblown. Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles in its latest quarter, beating expectations but down more than 2% from last year; its trailing P/E is about 351 and its market cap is $1.5 trillion, and the author says the stock is priced for perfection amid execution risks and talk of a possible merger with Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX). If choosing just one, the author would pick GM for its consistent profitability, share buybacks and reasonable valuation, while Tesla carries more risk and more potential upside.
- For the first time in more than a decade, the Russian Navy disappears from the Mediterranean
According to an anonymous NATO official cited by Breaking Defense, no Russian Navy warships were present in the Mediterranean from early July to early September, the first time in more than a decade. Reasons cited include losing access to a key base in the region, the need to protect shadow fleet vessels elsewhere, and a shortage of tankers and support ships to sustain a large force deployed over long periods. Destroyers deployed in the English Channel rely on Amur-class repair ships, which are designed for spare parts and repairs rather than resupply, so cargo must be transferred between vessels, which a NATO official called genuinely dangerous. Professor Basil Germont of Lancaster University said Russia's limited surface fleet is increasingly being redirected to protect strategically important commercial vessels. However, he warned against concluding that Russia will give up key sea routes in the Mediterranean, calling this only a temporary withdrawal.
