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.

- 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 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.
- European leaders rally around Zelensky as Trump ties slump
European leaders on Friday rallied around Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as ties between Kyiv and US President Donald Trump deteriorated after Trump eased sanctions on Russia in exchange for Moscow releasing diesel onto global markets. Zelensky ordered renewed strikes on Russian oil refineries despite Washington’s demands, which Trump called a “disgrace” while saying he found Zelensky more difficult to deal with than Putin. Kyiv’s anger has also been fuelled by disruptions to the Starshield satellite system from SpaceX, which Musk said his company did not cause and whose usage limits are set by the US military. EU leaders will discuss how to keep Ukraine funded, as a 90-billion-euro loan covers only until the end of 2027, and calls to use about 200 billion euros in frozen Russian central bank assets remain blocked by Belgium.
- Trump administration may let more Russian diesel onto market, energy secretary tells CNBC
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told CNBC that the U.S. may allow more Russian diesel onto the global market depending on Moscow’s behavior. He framed the Trump administration’s suspension of sanctions on Russian diesel exports as “an incentive” for Moscow to end the war in Ukraine. Under a Trump–Putin deal, Russia would export 800,000 metric tons of diesel in October and November, followed by another million tons; the first 300,000-ton shipment equals about 75,000 barrels per day over one month, and the 500,000-ton tranche about 124,000 bpd. Analysts say these volumes are small relative to global demand of around 28 million barrels per day, so they will not materially lower prices. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several Republican senators have sharply criticized the deal.
- What President Trump wants to do with both Ukraine and Russia
President Trump said the US will do business with both Ukraine and Russia after the conflict ends, despite criticism of efforts to restore trade ties with Moscow. He argued Washington should have secured greater financial returns from the billions of dollars in aid to Kyiv under Joe Biden. The announcement came as the first Russian diesel tanker, which left the Primorsk port, was en route to New York under a supply deal announced on October 9, covering 40,000 tonnes of fuel. Moscow then eased restrictions on diesel exports, allowing production of 500,000 tonnes, which would be the first time since 2022 that Russian diesel has been shipped to the US. Trump said the deal aims to ease fuel costs before the November midterm elections, but a plan to import about 900,000 tonnes of Russian diesel has drawn criticism from European allies, Ukraine and members of Congress, who say the cargoes could evade sanctions.
- It terrifying : Ukraine and Europe on edge as Trump sides with Putin
Trump's pivot toward Putin has raised fears in Ukraine and Europe that Washington is pressing Kyiv toward capitulation, with the US president reportedly striking a diesel deal, moving to ease sanctions and sidestepping punitive legislation he signed a month earlier. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said American negotiators have been trying to push Ukraine into surrender for almost two years, while a senior European official called it terrifying that US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both real estate dealers, were sent into talks with Putin. After Witkoff described Putin as a 'humanitarian', Russia launched 21 ballistic missiles at Kyiv, three carrying cluster-munition warheads. Reports say a US-backed 28-point peace proposal from November 2025, reportedly drafted in Moscow, called for Ukraine to cede territory, and US pressure on Kyiv has been mounting for at least a year.

- Robinhood’s Tenev warns US tokenization uncertainty deters ‘serious assets’
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says uncertainty over how long US tokenization rules will last could keep investors from putting substantial assets into tokenized markets, even though the SEC has opened a temporary path through an innovation exemption. He says further rulemaking or legislation is needed to provide longer-term certainty, and Binance Research projects the tokenized equities market could reach $349 billion by 2030 under its base case, from $4.43 billion as of Sept. 15. In the third quarter, Robinhood's crypto revenue fell 55% year on year to $120 million and crypto notional trading volume fell 38% to $50 billion. By contrast, event-contract revenue rose sixfold to $173 million, and total net revenue rose 12% to a record $1.42 billion, below analyst expectations. Adjusted EPS was $0.60, missing estimates by 4 cents.
- Is Anthropic a SaaS Stock? Here's How It Stacks Up With the Other Top Software Players
Anthropic has released its S-1 filing ahead of what could be the biggest IPO ever, targeting a valuation of around $2 trillion. Although it is often called an AI lab, the company shares several traits with SaaS stocks: it sells Claude and Claude Code through monthly subscriptions and reports metrics such as customers by annual recurring revenue (ARR), with more than 11,900 customers at $10,000 or more ARR as of the end of the third quarter. Sales, marketing and partnerships took less than 20% of revenue in the first half of 2026, and the company had 5,300 employees at the end of the third quarter, far fewer than Salesforce's roughly 83,000. Based on third-quarter revenue of $16.8 billion (annualised to $67 billion), the $2 trillion valuation implies a price-to-sales ratio of around 30, close to Datadog at 25.4 and Snowflake at 21.9. The article says this looks relatively low given sequential revenue growth of nearly 50% and adjusted profitability, though the stock carries risks such as large cloud spending commitments.

- Cruise ship suddenly halts operations as fuel prices soar, 650 passengers stranded in Cambodia
The luxury cruise ship Odyssey (capacity 650 passengers) is docked at Sihanoukville port in Cambodia after operator Villa Vie Residences suspended operations due to fuel costs that have risen over 300% since the US, Israel and Iran war began. Fuel cost per cabin rose from about USD 1,800 to USD 8,000. The company says it will cover accommodation and travel costs but has not provided funds for passengers to leave Cambodia, and is assessing restructuring and fundraising options over the next 60 days. Very low-sulfur fuel oil was about USD 960 per tonne on 27/10, down from wartime peaks but well above the level of just over USD 500 before the war. Rising fuel costs were also one of the causes behind the collapse of Spirit Airlines earlier this year.
