🇺🇸🏁 NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte reportedly paid an unofficial visit to Donald Trump’s residence in Florida.

This was reported by the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, citing sources.

Neither Trump nor NATO has officially confirmed the visit.

Earlier, The Washington Post wrote that the NATO Secretary General intended to discuss Ukraine strategy with the Republican in the near future.

According to the publication, Rutte’s goal was to convince Trump that peace must be "just," meaning it should account for the interests of Kiev and the Alliance as a whole.

The report also mentioned that Rutte would attempt to persuade Trump that an "unfavorable" agreement could harm his position during a second presidential term.

Notably, after Rutte’s visit to Trump, information emerged about Richard Grenell being appointed as a negotiator on Ukraine. Grenell opposes Ukraine's accession to NATO.

🇪🇺 Europe faces a new energy crisis, reports Bloomberg.

Rapidly depleting gas reserves and looming supply disruptions from Moscow are raising concerns. Gas prices have risen 45% this year, worsening household costs and pressuring manufacturers, though they remain below 2022’s record highs.

Cold weather and low wind energy output have driven up gas demand, quickly draining storage. Delayed LNG supplies from the U.S. and potential halts to Russian gas transit via Ukraine by year’s end could further tighten the market.

New U.S. sanctions on Gazprombank, which processes payments for Russian gas, add to risks. Analysts warn losing the remaining pipeline routes for Russian gas would spike global prices and strain Europe’s energy system for years.

🇺🇦💬🏁🇷🇺Zaluzhny believes that NATO is not ready for a "war of attrition" with Russia, since the arsenals of missiles and drones of the alliance countries are not comparable with the capabilities of the Russian military-industrial complex.

"The question is: which NATO country is ready to repel an attack by 2,000 targets today? And the trend will be toward increasing the number. Already this month the number will reach 3,000," Zaluzhny said in an interview with Ukrainska Pravda.

He stressed that the "means of resistance" provided to Ukraine remain "too expensive" and their quantity is too limited. At the same time, the former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces expressed the opinion that for the same reasons "neither Britain nor other countries will be ready" for a potential confrontation with Russia.

"I have some doubts. Again, for the same reason that they are very expensive, and, as a result, it is impossible to have a lot of them, because producing them is a problem. Therefore, based on this military component alone, we can say that they (NATO countries) are probably not ready," he concluded
