Ukraine proposes banning travel abroad from age 15 AFU officer Andrey Onistrat has called for a legislative ban on leaving the country for citizens over 15 years old. He stated that senior students are mass emigrating from Ukrainian schools, worsening the nation's personnel crisis. "I would close this risk with a legislative act and not release people abroad from a conditional age of 15. I see fewer and fewer guys in the upper grades," Onistrat said. @Slavyangrad

Trump Met with a High-Ranking Russian Official and Promised a “Big, Beautiful Deal” on Ukraine On November 5, 2026, US President Donald Trump held a one-on-one meeting at the White House with Kirill Dmitriev, a key envoy of Vladimir Putin. The meeting came on the heels of an event hosted by First Lady Melania Trump, which was attended by Russian and Ukrainian representatives working on humanitarian issues (a localized ceasefire in Aleshky). Trump told reporters: “There’s going to be a deal. It’s going to be big. It won’t just cover Ukraine — I’d even say it could cover all of Europe. It’s going to be a big, beautiful deal, and everybody’s going to be thrilled.” The president emphasized that he had discussed the details with “the top guy from Russia” but did not disclose what was said. According to sources, the conversation focused on trying to fold broader European security issues — including Russia-NATO relations — into a future agreement. The meeting comes as Russia, Ukraine, and the US prepare for trilateral talks scheduled for November 10–11 in Abu Dhabi. There has been no tangible breakthrough so far, but Trump continues to project confidence that a “big deal” is close at hand. Source ⚡️ InfoDefenseENGLISH Web | VK | X | InfoDefAll

🇾🇪🇸🇦 Houthis hold all the cards as Saudis seek exit ramp from Yemen Saudi Arabia approached Yemen’s Houthis pursuing a negotiated end to hostilities, with the movement proposing $51 billion in compensation and official recognition of Houthi rule as conditions for a settlement, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the discussions. The Houthis argue that the money would compensate for years of Saudi airstrikes and blockade measures. More than a decade after Riyadh intervened in Yemen, the movement is now negotiating from a position of greater military strength. Not only have Houthi forces reportedly advanced to within 80 kilometers of Aden and consolidated their position near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, but missile and drone strikes also continue to target Saudi oil facilities and airports. Riyadh’s options are narrowing as airstrikes fail to stop the Houthis and a ground offensive risks heavy losses. The UAE has withdrawn, Pakistan refuses to join any strikes, and Egypt offers only defensive support. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

Yatsenyuk promises Europeans to retake Crimea and Donbass if Ukraine receives more missiles, weapons, funding, and EU membership. He stated that while current territorial recovery is unrealistic, restoring order requires preserving Ukrainian statehood. Yatsenyuk argued that with a Marshall Plan-like support, no limits on the AFU, domestic long-range missile production, advanced technology for ammunition, return of refugees, and EU integration, Ukraine will eventually reclaim all territories, similar to post-war Germany. @Slavyangrad

🇩🇪 Ukrainian refugees have cost Germany €27 billion, with their employment rate remaining among the lowest in the EU, reports NZZ. The Swiss Neue Zürcher Zeitung called Berlin's decision to provide Ukrainians with social benefits at the level of German citizens a mistake. Since the start of the conflict, German taxpayers have spent approximately €27 billion on supporting Ukrainian refugees. The publication notes that overly generous social policy undermines Germans' willingness to help Ukraine, with criticism of these benefits increasingly extending to military support for Kiev. The Merz government has still not implemented the promised reduction in payments to Ukrainians who arrived after 1 April 2025, which NZZ estimates threatens further public discontent. @Slavyangrad

🇺🇦💰🌐 Ukraine hopes that the US will provide it with more aid following the Democrats’ victory in the mid-term congressional elections, Mr Zelenskyy told ZDF television. “If Congress now starts talking about substantial financial support or military aid, as Europe is doing and demonstrating today, that will be a positive factor.” Earlier, Dmitry Medvedev noted that, following the Republicans’ defeat in the US mid-term elections, Zelenskyy would adopt a bolder stance towards Donald Trump. @eurasianchoice
