Izgleda da su Britanci prisluskivali Vitkofa i dostavili Bloombergu razgovor i transcript. Ovo je konacno uznemirilo i neke vidjenije Republikance i nateralo ih da se pobune cnn In the October 14 audio recording reviewed and transcribed by Bloomberg, Witkoff counsels top Russian foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov on how Russian President Vladimir Putin should approach a call with Trump. The transcript offers key new insight about the behind-the-scenes talks that produced a 28-point peace plan that has been the subject of intense discussions between the Trump administration, Russia and Ukraine in recent days. The transcript generated concern among some GOP Russia hawks on Capitol Hill who asserted that Witkoff was too much under Russia’s spell. Rep. Don Bacon called for him to be fired. “For those who oppose the Russian invasion and want to see Ukraine prevail as a sovereign & democratic country, it is clear that Witkoff fully favors the Russians. He cannot be trusted to lead these negotiations. Would a Russian paid agent do less than he?” Bacon wrote on X. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick called it “a major problem. And one of the many reasons why these ridiculous side shows and secret meetings need to stop.”

bbc - Six people have been killed in Russian strikes on Kyiv overnight, the city's mayor says, as diplomatic efforts to end the war continue - In Russia, officials says three people have been killed after Ukraine carried out strikes in the border regions of Krasnodar and Rostov - It comes as a US official confirms to the BBC that they will meet Russian representatives in Abu Dhabi today - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says that plan now contains "many of the right elements" after negotiations - Further talks are planned in the coming days, and Sir Keir Starmer will host a virtual meeting of Ukraine's allies later

Tako je, jedan od sustinskih problema NISa je bas taj monopol. Koji se da 'preziveti' kad dolazi od drzavne kompanije, ali nase drzave. Kad dodju ovakva vremena i situacije, onda se najbolje vidi koliko je uzasna stvar dati drzavnoj kompaniji neke druge zemlje monopol i u manje bitnom sektoru nego sto je energetika.

Oko 80%, ostatak, neke multinacionalne kompanije kao MOL, dovoze same, odnosno svoje gotove derivate.

Evo jos jednog rebusa. Ako NIS prestane da radi u punom kapacitetu kao do sada, samim tim i zaradjuje, kako ce 17k radnika da primi platu?

Vitkofa su vec 'guzili' posle Aljaske, navodno je pripremajuci taj samit i razgovarajuci sa Putinom bez prevodioca potpuno pogresno razumeo sta je Putin nudio. Ako se do to secam, on je razumeo Putina da se slaze sa tim da NATO zemlje rasporede snage po Ukrajni za odrzavanje primirja. Posle je na Aljasci 'odjavio' Trumpa na tu temu kao 2+2.

DW The German chancellor told DW that Europe cannot support elements of a contentious US plan on Ukraine. He also warned that a Thursday deadline set by Donald Trump is not realistic.

cnn Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praised the “substantive” results from diplomatic discussions held today in Geneva, Switzerland. “Much is changing: We are working very carefully on the steps needed to end the war,” Zelensky said in a video address posted to his Telegram channel this evening. “Diplomacy has been activated, which is good,” Zelensky said. “The first priority is reliable peace, guaranteed security, respect for our people, respect for everyone who gave their lives defending Ukraine from Russian aggression.”

Vidi se da je to pisano da se kroz dijalog popusti Rusiji u tom delu sporazuma. Ali mislim da ima i daleko spornijih tacaka za Rusiju ovde. @Henry Chinaski jel objavio neki medij ovaj predlog ili je to samo nagadjanje i 'probni balon'?

bbc US Secretary of State Marco Rubio enters the room with Zelensky's right-hand man, Andriy Yermak. Rubio says they will come back in around one or two hours so he will not take questions now. But he says he wants to provide an update. "We've had probably the most productive and meaningful meeting so far in this entire process," he says.

cnn US Secretary of State Marco Rubio refused to answer a question from CNN’s Matthew Chance in Geneva earlier today, on whether the US might turn its back on Ukraine if Kyiv rejects the peace proposal. The evasion of the question is significant – refusing even to deny the suggestion implies that the nightmare scenario for Ukraine is indeed a possibility.

bbc We’ve just seen US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US Army secretary Dan Driscoll leave the Hotel Intercontinental. Flanked by security and high-ranking members of the military, the US team were tight lipped. Questions shouted at the delegation, for a response to President Trump accusing Ukraine of ingratitude, were met with a stony silence. When the Ukraine team left the hotel after their talks with the US, they suggested things were going well. For half an hour the US delegates were up in the 18th floor negotiating room on their own. Then came the President’s all capitals message: "UKRAINE 'LEADERSHIP' HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS, AND EUROPE CONTINUES TO BUY OIL FROM RUSSIA." Was this the result of a call between Geneva and Washington? Either way it feels as if that faint hopeful mood has disappeared.

bbc Ukraine's allies from Europe, Canada and Japan have voiced concerns over a US plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war, saying it "will require additional work". They said in a statement the plan had elements "essential for a just and lasting peace", but cited concerns over border changes and caps on Ukraine's army. Later on Saturday, US President Donald Trump said the draft plan was not his "final offer" for Ukraine. On Sunday, security officials from Britain, France, Germany, the US and Ukraine will meet in Geneva, Switzerland.

bbc Ukraine's allies will seek to "strengthen" a US plan to end the war with Russia when they meet at the G20 summit in South Africa, UK PM Sir Keir Starmer has said. The summit begins a day after President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Ukraine faced "one of the most difficult moments in our history" over pressure to accept the plan - leaked details of which have been seen as favourable to Moscow. Zelensky held phone talks with Sir Keir and the leaders of France and Germany on Friday. Afterwards, the PM said Ukraine's "friends and partners" remained committed to securing a "lasting peace once and for all". Neither US President Donald Trump nor Russian President Vladimir Putin are attending the G20.
