RUSSIA IN THE MIDDLE EAST

 INTERVIEW IN SPOTIFY -OCTOBER 19th-

  

TRUMP ON RUSSIA: FROM ONE EXTREME TO ANOTHER

Everything is possible un the Trump's real world. In less than a week, we can go from a possible Summit with Putin in Budapest -Hungary- to new sanctions on Russian economy -added to the 19 th battery of new ones from Brussels-. Sooner, he menaced Moscow with the decision of providing Tomahawks to Kyiv.

So we can ask again and again, which is the real Trump?  

Differently, Putin sent his peace adviser Kirill Dmitriev once again to Washington and minimized the impact of Western sanctions. 

DMITRIEV'S LAST DECLARATION

WAR OF DRONES IN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE BUT ALSO IN EUROPE

 

From Europe:

German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said Friday that the temporary closure of Munich airport after drone sightings was a "wake-up call" about the threat from drones, which have caused a string of similar aviation disruptions across Europe. Airports in Denmark, Norway and Poland have recently suspended flights due to unidentified drones, while Romania and Estonia have pointed the finger at Russia, which has brushed off the allegations.

Also in Sochi, Black Sea:

Internet blackouts have become a fact of daily life in the Russian city of Sochi, which is coming under increasing threat of retaliatory Ukrainian drone strikes. Russia's authorities have tried to shield their citizens from the Moscow's offensive on Ukraine, launched in 2022, but as Kyiv ups its own long-range drone attacks on Russian territory, disruptions to daily life have become more and more frequent.“The last few months have been difficult. We are being constantly disconnected. Usually during the night and morning, there are alerts about drones,” Nadezhda Gorshanova, a 23-year-old sports coach from the city told AFP.

HOW IS THE LAST STRATEGY OF PUTIN ABOUT TRUMP POST-SUMMIT?

According to the Institute for Study of War, Putin announced on September 22 that Russia will adhere to the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) for one year following its expiration in February 2026 and used threats to urge the United States to do the same. 

Putin blamed the West for undermining Russian-US arms cooperation and violating bilateral arms agreements—ignoring how Russia has violated numerous multilateral and bilateral treaties in the past decades. 

Putin is attempting to pressure the Trump administration to engage in arms control talks to facilitate US-Russian rapprochement and extract concessions from the United States about the war in Ukraine, as ISW forecasted Russia would in August 2025. 

Ukrainian forces recently advanced in the Dobropillya tactical area. Russian forces recently advanced near Lyman and Pokrovsk and in the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical area.
