+++ Ukraine-Krieg +++: Selenskyj meldet schwere russische Angriffe auf Energieanlagen

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj indicated during a trilateral meeting involving Ukraine, the United States, and Russia that the summit may take place at the upcoming G20 summit in the United States in December. He also suggested a possible meeting in a Middle Eastern or European country. However, neither the US nor Russia have confirmed such a meeting.

Selenskyj also mentioned that peace facilitators from Ukraine and the US might meet in the coming week, with Ukrainian representatives discussing this with the US team on Friday. Additionally, Europe needs its own negotiation channel for discussions with Russia. EU Development Minister Reem Alabali Radovan once again called for an exemption from the debt brake to finance German aid to Ukraine.

The majority of civilian support for Ukraine comes from the development budget, she told Reuters at the sidelines of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank autumn meeting in Bangkok. However, given budget cuts, the current level of assistance is now at risk. The proposal is supported by Foreign Minister Wadephul, while other Union politicians oppose it, as they do not want further exemptions from the debt brake, particularly for defense spending.
