Details: Bloomberg says that Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will be dealing with a different Trump if he emerges weakened from the midterm elections. This new political reality could have a significant impact on the war.
Quote: " After Trump and Putin reached a deal on Russian diesel supplies to the US in the run-up to the midterms, the Kremlin will look for ways to further ease American sanctions on Russia, a person close to the Kremlin said, asking not to be identified discussing sensitive issues. The goal would be to persuade Trump that the US and Russia can do business together without first ending the war in Ukraine. "
Details: Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner tried to persuade Putin to begin negotiations by highlighting the potential business deals.
Background: On 9 October, Trump said he had spoken to Putin and reached an agreement with him on supplies of Russian diesel fuel to the US and global markets.
