🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 The White House is pushing to finalize a framework agreement with Ukraine and Russia to end the war by the end of November — or even this week, reports Politico, citing a source from the administration.
The plan consists of 28 points discussed between the U.S. and Russian envoys, Whitcoff and Dmitriev. According to the source, Washington intends to present the proposal to Zelensky as a fait accompli during the next visit of the U.S. Secretary to Kiev.
Administration officials told the press that they are "on the verge of a major breakthrough" and that "this is serious." One official added: "What we are going to present to Ukraine is reasonable."
The Trump administration believes that Zelensky, weakened and under pressure, will have no choice but to accept the terms. And what about Europe? "Honestly, we don't care about the Europeans," said the official. "What matters is that Ukraine signs."
According to Politico, U.S. officials see Ukraine as vulnerable — mired in corruption scandals involving Zelensky and stuck in stagnant front lines — and believe this puts Kiev in a position where it may be forced to accept the agreement. "They say it is reasonable and something Ukraine can be made to accept," writes the outlet.

🇺🇸🏢 US Senate takes first step to end government shutdown
Senators from the United States, Republicans and Democrats, reached an agreement that would be the first step toward ending the shutdown of federal government operations, a situation that led to the cancellation of thousands of flights across the country and left thousands of public employees without pay.
According to local media reports, Republicans and Democrats reached an agreement that would lead to the end of the shutdown, which has lasted more than 40 days in the US.
There were 60 votes in favor of approving the measure and 40 against. The agreed-upon bill funds government operations until January 30, reinstates federal employees affected by forced leave and recent layoffs, and restores the food assistance program until the fiscal year 2026.

Reuters states "The access to China's near-monopoly on rare earths is at stake: the critical materials that power everything from electric vehicles to defense systems."
If negotiations fail, the domino effect could paralyze technology, manufacturing, and military supply chains across the West.
According to the British newspaper The Telegraph, Trump proposes the creation of a "victory fund" for Ukraine, funded by a 500% tariff on China.
