Yves Herman/ReutersUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday condemned U. S. President Donald Trump’s diesel deal with Russia, called Moscow’s stance a “parody” of peace negotiations and welcomed the prospect of a greater role in talks for European allies he called “real leaders.”Zelensky told a European Union summit in Brussels that Russia did not want peace. Russian President Vladimir Putin, wearing a military uniform during a visit to a command post, said Moscow was establishing a “security zone” inside Ukraine along the border, a move he deemed non-negotiable in any future talks with Kyiv. Trump said he believed neither he nor Elon Musk was responsible for Ukraine losing access this week to Musk’s Starlink satellite service, an important element of defence against Russian strikes. Trump said he had a good relationship with Zelensky, despite the latest exchange of barbs with the Ukrainian leader.

Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.

Drought conditions could develop or worsen for parts of the northwestern U. S. in the coming months, as meteorologists expect El Niño to help shape the winter season. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued its winter outlook this week. In it, the agency outlined how the climate pattern could influence temperature and rainfall during winter and said drought conditions are favored to develop or worsen across parts of the northern Rockies. What Is El Niño? El Niño is a naturally recurring climate pattern associated with warmer waters in the Pacific that can influence temperatures and rainfall worldwide. In the U. S., typical El Niño effects can include stormier weather across southern regions, drier conditions in some northern areas and changes in hurricane activity. The Climate Prediction Center said earlier this month that El Niño had continued to strengthen, with chances remaining high for a “strong-to-very strong” event through January to March 2027.
