AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoUkraine Peace Push: US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Zelenskyy in Kyiv after “highly useful” talks with Putin in Moscow, but both sides signaled no breakthrough yet; Zelenskyy said the war is likely to continue into winter and pressed for a “winter package” of air defense, energy support, and LNG, while also calling for trilateral talks with Russia and the US. Diplomacy vs. Fighting: Despite the renewed shuttle, strikes continued as Ukraine reported drone attacks and Zelenskyy linked intensified Russian attacks to the run-up to Russia’s Duma election. Kremlin Position: Moscow repeated its “root causes” framing and insisted on achieving war aims through military means, leaving negotiations constrained by territorial and security demands. German Politics Shock: In Saxony-Anhalt, AfD surged to about 44.4% and won a historic first-place finish, but fell short of a governing majority, deepening uncertainty over Germany’s “firewall” politics. European Neutrality Test: Switzerland’s upcoming referendum on tightening neutrality is increasingly framed as a referendum on whether to keep Russia sanctions. Pope Calls for Peace: Pope Leo XIV urged peace between Russia and Ukraine as attacks on civilian infrastructure intensify.
