Will #Russia reject the 19-point plan?
Russia is widely expected to reject the revised 19-point #peace plan because it deviates significantly from the original, more #Moscow-favorable proposal discussed during the Trump-Putin summit in August.Russia
Key points regarding Russia’s stance:
Deviation from original plan: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has repeatedly stated that any agreement must reflect the “spirit and letter” of the original understandings reached in Anchorage. He warned that if those key points are “erased,” the situation will be “fundamentally different”.
Ukraine’s concessions softened: The initial 28-point plan, which Russia viewed as a “very good basis for negotiations”, reportedly included maximalist demands such as Ukraine ceding the entire Donbas region and abandoning its NATO ambitions. The revised 19-point plan, accepted by Ukraine, has removed some of these controversial points, such as the troop cap and the explicit bar on NATO membership, making it far less likely for Russia to accept.
Propaganda and delay tactics: Sources suggest that Moscow might not outright reject the plan immediately for fear of provoking President Trump’s suspicion that they are unwilling to negotiate. Instead, Russia may use vague statements or disinformation tactics to prolong talks, with some analysts believing this is a strategy to gain time and influence sanctions enforcement.
Continued military pressure: Despite the diplomatic efforts, Russia has shown no signs of slowing its military campaign, continuing to launch significant attacks on Ukrainian cities, which analysts view as an attempt to regain leverage in any potential talks.
In essence, while formal, definitive rejection has not been issued as of November 26, 2025, public statements from Russian officials and expert analysis strongly indicate that Moscow will not agree to the current 19-point plan in its present form.— Michael Novakhov (@mikenov) Nov 26, 2025

Trump and Patel – AI Mode
Donald Trump is considering removing Kash Patel as the Director of the FBI, though the White House has vehemently denied these claims.
Current Events
On Tuesday, November 25, 2025, news outlet MS NOW, citing anonymous sources, reported that Trump and his aides were frustrated by negative headlines surrounding Patel and that Trump was weighing replacing him with top FBI official Andrew Bailey.

The White House quickly refuted the report, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt calling the story “completely made up”. She posted a photo of Trump and Patel in the Oval Office, stating that Trump had laughed off the rumor and said Patel was “doing a great job”. Aboard Air Force One, Trump also told reporters that Patel was “doing a great job”.
Background on Kash Patel
Kash Patel is a key Trump ally who was confirmed as FBI Director by the Senate in February 2025, in a narrow 51-49 vote along party lines. His career has been closely tied to Donald Trump and his political agenda:
Congressional Aide: As a senior aide to Rep. Devin Nunes, Patel was the primary author of the “Nunes memo,” which alleged abuses of authority within the FBI’s investigation into links between Trump associates and Russian officials.
Trump Administration Roles: He held several national security positions during the first Trump administration, including Chief of Staff to the Acting Secretary of Defense.
Post-Administration Activities: After Trump left office in 2021, Patel worked on the board of Trump Media & Technology Group and founded a charity to help January 6 participants with legal costs.
FBI Director Tenure: Since becoming director, Patel has generated controversy through his management style, personnel decisions, and public handling of cases, including using an FBI jet for personal travel and posting information about active investigations on social media.
The recent news highlights the ongoing dynamic between Trump, his administration, and a key, yet controversial, loyalist within the federal law enforcement structure.— Michael Novakhov (@mikenov) Nov 26, 2025
