Witkoff, Kushner keep following Moscow’s lead, Europeans worry
As the Nov. 10–11 talks in Abu Dhabi approach, the Kremlin has already “succeeded in drawing” U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner into discussing “a broader European security architecture” instead of a ceasefire in Ukraine, The Washington Post reported on Nov. 9.
A 21-year-old resident of Moscow was sentenced to 13 days in jail for disobeying police orders in the Tagansky District Court, an administrative offense under Article 19.3 of Russia's Code of Administrative Offenses, according to the news outlet Ostorozhno. The detainee, identified as Magomed G., was arrested on November 7 and taken to the Tagansky police station, where he refused to show his passport or enter a police van, according to the police report.
The court received the report on November 9 and heard the case that same day. Magomed G. partially admitted guilt but denied refusing to obey the officers, stating he "didn't immediately understand what was happening." The police claim they detained Gasanov during raids in Moscow's Kitay-Gorod neighborhood on the evening of November 7, where hundreds of teenagers and young adults were taken into custody.
Those detained reported being offered military service contracts at police stations, with some handed draft notices. The police and courts received 12 police reports alleging petty hooliganism or disobeying police, though it remains unclear if these cases are linked to the Kitay-Gorod detentions. Moscow police describe the weekend sweep of young people as a 'preventive measure,' with detainees reporting beatings, military summonses, and pressure to sign army contracts.
