Reliance Industries company stated that it does not expect deliveries of Russian oil in January. This decision could lead to a sharp reduction in Russian oil imports into India this month to the lowest level in years, according to Reuters.

"The Reliance Industries refinery in Jamnagar has not received any shipments of Russian oil for the past three weeks and does not expect deliveries of Russian oil in January," the company said in a statement.
According to sources, Russian oil imports into India are likely to drop to less than 1 million barrels per day.

According to sources and analytics company Kpler, the tightening of U.S. and EU sanctions has led to a reduction in Russian oil deliveries to India, which fell to a three-year low in December—around 1.2 million barrels per day. This is approximately 40% lower than the June peak of 2 million barrels per day.

Ukraine and its European allies will insist that any negotiations with Russia regarding territorial exchange can only take place after the cessation of hostilities at the current line of contact.

In response to the U.S. plan, they demand guarantees of security from the Americans, similar to Article 5 on mutual defense in NATO, as well as the use of frozen Russian assets for reconstruction and compensation for damages to Kyiv.

In response, Europe rejects Moscow's demands for the transfer of non-occupied territories in the east to Kyiv and offers to gradually lift other sanctions if Russia complies with the terms of the deal.

The Trump administration plans to return frozen assets to Moscow after signing a peace agreement, Politico reports citing sources.

In particular, American officials communicated this intention to the EU envoy for sanctions David O'Sullivan during his visit to Washington this summer.

In September, the publication reminds, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed to allocate a reparatory loan to Kyiv secured by blocked Russian assets.

Frozen Russian assets in the EU are estimated at around 210 billion euros.

By the way, earlier today it became known that the ECB did not support the payment to Ukraine of 140 billion euros secured by Russian assets, citing that the proposal from the EC is beyond the mandate of the regulator.

In 2024, gas consumption in the country amounted to 2.65 billion cubic meters - almost entirely it was ensured through Russian supplies.

With the visit of Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House, the conditions for resolving the conflict for Kyiv have worsened, said US President Donald Trump in the White House. This was reported by RBC, citing a video of Trump's speech published by C-SPAN.

"You know, when I was in this office and told Zelensky that he had no trump cards, I said he didn't have any. That was the best time for resolution. Now a lot is going against them," said the American leader in response to questions from journalists.

Zelensky met with Trump on October 17 at the White House. Earlier, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, referring to the words of the Ukrainian president, noted that the negotiations in Washington did not go as he would have liked.

Separately, Trump noted that Whitcuff had a pretty good meeting with Putin.

"Let's see what comes of it," he said.

Today, Whitcuff and Kushner will meet with Ukraine's chief negotiator Rustem Umerov in Miami for further negotiations to resolve the crisis.

The USA is preparing a new package of sanctions against the Russian energy sector to increase pressure on Moscow in case President Vladimir Putin rejects a peace agreement with Ukraine. This is reported by Bloomberg, citing informed sources.

According to sources who spoke to the agency on the condition of anonymity, the USA is considering various options, including measures against ships of the shadow fleet used to transport Russian oil, as well as against traders facilitating these transactions.

Some sources note that new measures may be announced as early as this week.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed these plans at a meeting with a group of European ambassadors earlier in the week.

"President Trump is a president of peace, and I confirmed that under his leadership, the priority for America will remain ending the conflict," he wrote on social media X after the meeting.

Sources warned that the final decision rests with Trump. The US Department of the Treasury has not yet responded to a request for comment.

China is ramping up efforts to import U.S.-sanctioned Russian gas, forming its own shadow fleet of vessels to transport supercooled fuel to circumvent the restrictions imposed against one of the Kremlin's flagship industries. This is reported by Bloomberg.

The world's largest importer of energy resources receives significant — and often cheaper — volumes of gas via pipelines. However, alternative maritime purchases serve as an additional diversification of supplies and simultaneously strengthen ties with Russia. President Vladimir Putin has made LNG a key element of Russia's future export strategy, and the country is in urgent need of buyers.

Although the initiative is still in its early stages, tanker movements and ownership structures in China are beginning to resemble patterns observed in the trade of Russian oil and LNG, where a shadow fleet was created to compensate for lost pipeline sales to Europe.

The statement came just a few hours before the European Commission is expected to unveil a bill that will allow the bloc to use €210 billion ($244 billion) of immobilized assets from the Central Bank of Russia to secure loans for Ukraine.

"The text that the Commission will present today does not adequately address our concerns," said Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot on Wednesday morning before a NATO meeting in Brussels.

The trading company Litasco, which is a subsidiary of Lukoil, is terminating employment contracts just days before the U.S. sanctions against the Russian oil giant come into effect, Bloomberg reports, citing informed sources.

Employees at the headquarters in Geneva are beginning to sign mutual termination agreements, a source who requested anonymity due to the confidentiality of the matter reported. He did not specify which positions are being cut.

Litasco is the trading arm of Lukoil, which along with Rosneft was hit by U.S. sanctions last month; transactions with these companies are allowed until November 21.

The deal to purchase Lukoil's foreign assets fell through last week after the U.S. Treasury called potential buyer Gunvor Group a "puppet of the Kremlin," prompting the company to withdraw its offer.

The negotiations between the presidents of the USA and Ukraine, Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky, could lead to the first telephone conversation in more than five years between the latter and the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, reports Fox News, citing a source familiar with the discussions.

The source also said that Zelensky was likely feeling anxious before his meeting with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida,

"Zelensky usually gets very nervous before such conversations with President Trump. <...> He spends a long time concentrating and studying the briefings prepared for him by the Department of International Policy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," the source told Fox News.

The USA is ready to recognize Russia's control over Crimea and other territories occupied by Russian troops in order to conclude an agreement for a ceasefire.

According to information from the publication, this is precisely the purpose for which American President Donald Trump sent his special envoy Steve Whitcoff to Russia. He, as reported by The Telegraph, is supposed to make a "direct proposal" to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Along with Whitcoff, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner will visit Moscow.

Putin has stated that Russia is willing to consider any options for peace agreements, but "based on the realities on the ground".

One of the conditions for the start of peace negotiations, which the president outlined in the summer of 2024, was the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions. In early August 2025, the Russian president stated that these conditions had not changed.
