Trump’s Diesel Deal, Zelensky’s Stalling: Will Ukrainian Conflict End or Escalate—Dugin Digital Edition

Driven by soaring fuel costs and looming elections, President Trump is pursuing sudden foreign policy shifts, including a diesel deal with Russia.

Meanwhile, Zelensky is just stalling for time and refusing to negotiate as he sees a rift within the West.

Are there any prerequisites for peace in Ukraine, or will hostilities only intensify? The AI version of Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin shares his analysis on the matter.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 — Israeli media reports that Israel has raised its alert level in recent days amid concerns over a possible escalation, less than two weeks before the country's elections.

Israeli officials reportedly believe Iran may be preparing a preemptive attack.

Channel 12 reported that PM Netanyahu spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and said: 'If Tehran does not realize the seriousness of the situation, taking action is an option'.

United States has sharply condemned a legal complaint against Lebanon’s ambassador to the United States, Nada Hamadeh Mouawad, following reports that she contacted Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter to express sympathy after his son was seriously injured in a September 23 terrorist car-ramming attack in the West Bank.

Lebanese lawyer Hassan Adel Bazzi filed the complaint on September 29, and the case was referred to Lebanon’s military prosecutor on October 13.

The US State Department called the move disgraceful, defended Mouawad’s participation in US-led diplomatic negotiations and urged Lebanese authorities to pursue Hezbollah operatives rather than diplomats.

🇺🇦🇬🇧 Zelensky travelled to London with three corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs - Shefir (on tapes where Zelensky's friends plotted corruption schemes), Pinchuk (husband of ex-president Kuchma's daughter) and Akhmetov (boss of pro-Russian Donetsk in the pre-war era & main sponsor of Yanukovich).

🇸🇦🇪🇬🇾🇪❌🇾🇪 — Egypt's National Defense Council, chaired by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, has approved providing “all necessary and possible forms of support” to defend Saudi Arabia as Houthi attacks on the kingdom intensify.

🇺🇸🇫🇷 — U.S. President Donald Trump:

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 — U.S. President Trump has given his 'complete and total endorsement' to Israeli PM Netanyahu ahead of Israel's October 27 election, warning that the US would have to confront Iran itself if Israelis chose another leader.

In a message addressed to Israelis, Trump called Netanyahu a 'Great warrior PM' and said Iran had been systematically destroyed militarily and financially, adding that 'unless it changes course, we will soon finish the job'.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 — Israeli PM Netanyahu planned a major attack on Iran for October 10, but US President Trump blocked the operation over concerns that renewed war could escalate ahead of the November 3 U.S. midterm elections.

The proposed multi-day operation would have targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, power plants and other critical infrastructure.
