Points of attention

- Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz proposed the idea of a Christmas truce, highlighting support for the concept of an energy truce.
Russians reject idea of Christmas truce
The Russian dictator's spokesman does not hide that Vladimir Putin's team views such a proposal negatively.
"We want peace. We don't want a ceasefire to give Ukraine a break and prepare for the continuation of the war," Dmitry Peskov cynically stated.
He also officially confirmed to Russian propagandists that the last talks between illegitimate Russian President Vladimir Putin and American leader Donald Trump took place on October 16.
"We want to stop this war, achieve our goals, secure our interests, and guarantee peace in Europe for the future," the Kremlin spokesman shamelessly added.
Dmitry Peskov also emphasized that as of today, the Kremlin continues to actively prepare for Putin's direct line, which "is already working with questions from Russians."
As previously mentioned, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz had proposed the idea of a Christmas truce.
The US supports this idea, and I, as the President of Ukraine, certainly support it too. I believe that an energy truce is normal, any kind.
