DW While the CDU is set for victory, the far-right AfD has tripled its share of voters in North Rhine-Westphalia since the last local elections in Germany's most populous state, early estimates show. Merz's CDU is set to take around 34% of the vote, followed by center-left SPD, with 22.5%, and the far-right AfD, with 16.5% — over three times more than the 5.1% the party secured in 2020. Sunday's polls were the first local elections since Chancellor Friedrich Merz took office in May. The AfD has made historic gains in recent years, becoming the second-strongest political force at the national level. Although its voter base is mainly from states in eastern Germany, the AfD is hoping to capitalize on the shift toward the right in western Germany.

DW US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he believed Moscow's war on Ukraine would end if all NATO countries stopped buying oil from Russia and and imposed tariffs of 50% to 100% on China for doing so. "I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA," he wrote in a post on his social media site Truth Social. He criticized the Western military alliance for demonstrating "far less than 100%" commitment to ending the war and also called it "shocking" that some NATO allies continue to purchase Russian petroleum, saying that it weakened their negotiating position. Turkey, which has the second-largest military in NATO, has continued to buy large quantities of oil from Russia despite Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. Hungary and Slovakia, which are also part of the US-dominated alliance, are also importing Russian energy. So far, Trump has repeatedly threatened new US sanctions on Moscow but has not followed through.

bbc Russian newspaper Moskovskij Komsomolets warned this week that petrol supplies were "near critical", with drivers in far eastern Russia reporting kilometre-long queues, rationing and soaring prices.

Podcenjivanje Rusije i njene vojne (a i ekonomske) moci je jedan od 3 kljucna razloga zasto je Ukrajna priterana uz zid i u stalnoj defanzivi uzmice korak po korak.

Izvini, ali ovo je vrlo naivno razmisljanje. Rusija ima razvijene kapacitete za rat sa NATO paktom. Svaka pojedinacna armija zemlje clanice NATOa apsolutno nema nikakve sanse protiv Rusije, osim, naravno USA.

cnn US inflation cooled off at the wholesale level in August, bolstering hopes that high tariffs aren’t yet causing prices to spiral out of control, fresh data showed Wednesday. However, economists caution, the better-than-expected reading could be a sign of a slowing economy and that shrinking businesses’ margins could foretell higher prices for consumers in the near future. Producer prices unexpectedly fell 0.1% in August, cooling annual inflation to 2.6% from a downwardly revised 3.1% in July, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

Vise id polovine ovih u Poljskoj uopste nisu dosli preko Ukrajne, nego iz Belorusije, sto je posebna 'eskalacija'. Zadnjih dana tamo je u toku najmasovnija vojna vezba ruske i beloruske armije ikada. Poljska je potpuno zatvorila tu granicu, ukljucujuci i zeleznicke prelaze.

Ako je u pitanju bio test bbc If Poland managed to shoot down only four out of 19 (or two dozen, according to President Zelensky) drones that crossed into its airspace, that's a much lower success rate than demonstrated by Ukraine. Ukraine has consistently intercepted the vast majority of drones sent by Russia over the past years - for instance, 386 out of 415 (or 93%) this morning. Hardly impressive performance by Poland, especially given how much more hardware it had at its disposal.

The White House statement This morning, the Trump administration was notified by the United States military that as Israel was attacking Hamas, which very unfortunately was located in a section of Doha, the capital of Qatar, unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker peace does not advance Israel or America's goals. However, eliminating Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza, is a worthy goal. President Trump immediately directed special envoy Witkoff to inform the Qataris of the impending attack, which he did. The president views Qatar as a strong ally and friend of the United States, and feels very badly about the location of this attack.

Da, bombardovan je Katar, odnosno sediste Hamasa. Kazu da su tada tamo bili Hamasovi pregovaraci. Izrael tvrdi da su USA bile obavestene o planiranom napadu.

bbc Russia's Vladimir Putin has rejected Western proposals for a "reassurance force" in Ukraine the day after any ceasefire comes into place, following a Paris summit aimed at finalising plans for security guarantees. Putin sought to quash the allies' initiative, with a warning that any troops deployed to Ukraine would be "legitimate targets", especially if they appeared now, even though there are no plans for an immediate deployment.

Ocigledno ce dolazeca zima biti ozbiljan problem i izazov cnn Putin seems to have other ideas: to break the will of Ukraine over the frigid winter season that is fast approaching. It’s a crude strategy that aims to present a stark choice for Ukrainians: accept my demands or risk freezing to death in your homes. Putin has tried this before, over the last two winters, and failed due in part to a global effort led by the United States to sustain Ukraine’s resiliency during the heating season. But as this winter approaches, there are questions of whether the United States will do so again. This effort was led by President Biden’s energy envoy, Amos Hochstein, well before the war started, requiring coordination with multiple European allies, some of whom were skeptical and did not believe that Russia would in fact invade. Ukraine’s disconnection from the Russian grid and connection to the EU grid was completed hours before Russia’s first missile salvos were launched against Ukrainian cities on February 24, 2022. This intensive global effort combined with some relatively mild winters helped Ukraine get through somewhat unscathed. This year could be different, for at least three reasons. First, current weather models (no doubt studied by Putin) predict a mild start to the winter but then a historically frigid January and February. Second, as Russia has shown over the course of this year, it has vastly increased its drone supply with support from Iran, as well as its more limited but still plentiful missile stockpile. Third, there is no immediate sign that Washington will mount the effort as was done before. The most recent attack targeted electrical substations, gas transportation facilities, and coal plants required for the heating season. The attacks, causing power outages for over 100,000 households across Ukraine, were consistent with the pattern seen in past years and Russia’s focus on the civilian energy sector, but with far greater frequency. Ukraine’s energy ministry counts nearly 3,000 such attacks this year alone, part of what it calls Russia’s “deliberative policy of destroying Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure ahead of the heating season.” Such attacks in the first two years of the war were in the hundreds.

DW Russia launched a "massive attack" early Saturday on Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region, regional Governor Sergiy Lysak said on Telegram. Lysak said explosions were reported in the cities of Dnipro and Pavlograd. "The region is under a massive attack. Explosions are being heard," Lysak wrote on Telegram, urging residents to seek shelter. Dnipropetrovsk is not one of the five regions claimed by Moscow, unlike Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Crimea.

To je jos onomad dogovoreno u WH, nego se, izgleda, cekalo da Putin 'objasni' koliko je zainteresovan za mir.
