Amidst reports that the U.S. may be considering loosening sanctions on Russia’s Direct Investment Fund, the Financial Times, citing people with knowledge on the matter, has reported that the Trump administration has discussed with the Kremlin the possibility of resuming eastward U.S.-Russia oil shipments between prime companies in a post-Russo-Ukrainian War dynamic. Per the report, the discussions were had when White House Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff visited Moscow, Russia in early September. Per one U.S. official to FT: “President Trump’s representatives have discussed economic proposals with both sides of the war — including a postwar economic framework to create long-term growth and investment opportunities for Ukraine, and potential opportunities for postwar economic collaboration with Russia.” “Economic agreements would be included in and subject to a comprehensive peace framework that stops the killing in this brutal war; nothing is finalised.”

NEW: Vladimir Putin spent most of his call with the leaders of Finland and Norway ranting about Slavic history, underscoring Europe's tough task backing Ukraine in peace talks. The planned 20-minute call dragged on for 90. A ceasefire barely came up: ft.com/content/a384acd1-c90c…

MORE: Putin reportedly provided Stubb and Store with his assessment of the current situation in Ukraine and explained the war’s “root causes,” the Kremlin’s shorthand for Russia’s maximalist war demands that include a puppet regime in Ukraine and retrograding the membership of NATO states that joined the alliance since 1997 — effectively granting Russia a veto over NATO internal policies and curtailing the sovereignty of many European states to choose to join alliances. Putin also reportedly told Stubb and Store that a peace agreement must recognize the “realities on the ground,” another Russian rhetorical line used to demand the recognition of occupied Ukrainian territory as part of Russia as a precondition to any ceasefire or peace agreement in Ukraine. A source close to the Kremlin claimed that Putin’s statement about “ground realities” signifies that Russia would not compromise on its goal of seizing all of Donbas. Putin has repeatedly outlined Russia’s demands that extend far beyond Ukraine’s Fortress Belt and Donetsk Oblast and may include the entire territory of Ukraine.

Israel's Channel 12 Reporting (English translation of their report:) Breaking news in this edition An unprecedented confrontation between the Chief of Staff and the Prime Minister has reached a critical—or perhaps disastrous—turning point over the last 24 hours. At the heart of the matter: the Iranian issue. There is concern on the part of [Chief of Staff] Zamir that Netanyahu and the political leadership might trigger a scenario of miscalculation vis-à-vis Iran, just ahead of the elections. A defense official states that the action in question could lead to a rapid confrontation with Iran at a highly sensitive and dramatic moment, potentially resulting in a miscalculation. Sources familiar with the details indicate that the military leadership fears an attempt to exploit the Iranian issue for political gain—a claim that political figures deny, labeling it an outright lie. Regardless, two sources tell me that the situation has escalated to the point where, during a visit to the Palmachim Airbase today, the atmosphere in the discussion was extremely tense. In recent days, Zamir received a directive from the political leadership but requested an in-depth discussion before taking any action. He also demanded formal, signed legal authorization from the political echelon for the proposed move. A senior defense official remarked: "History will not forget the role Zamir has played here over the last few days." In short: an exceptionally intense confrontation between Zamir and Netanyahu regarding the Iranian issue, occurring just before the elections. It should be noted: all details in this report have been approved by the Military Censor. Yaron Avraham
