The meeting between the leaders of the United States and China in Washington is ceremonial in nature, experts surveyed by Vedomosti believe.▶️Trump sees Xi as an equal and demonstrates respect, believes Dmitry Kochegurov, a research fellow at the Institute for the Study of the United States and Canada of the Russian Academy of Sciences.▶️However, despite the considerable effort invested in organizing the meeting, the main issues remain unresolved: there is only a truce in the trade war, says Vasily Kashin, director of the Center for Comprehensive European and International Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics.In his view, this is either a major failure or, at best, a very limited result. If the sides failed to agree on a position ahead of a major event, “it means that they have very serious problems.”This is typical of many of Trump’s summits, Kashin points out. “He holds them relying on his personal magnetism, thinking that he will now resolve everything ‘with the big boss,’ but in the end nothing moves forward,” the expert says.Our channel: Node of Time ENNode of Time EN

“Send an international signal” – Germany’s roadmap for phasing out fossil energy — WELTAt the UN General Assembly, Environment Minister Schneider (SPD) presents a roadmap for how Germany intends to do without oil, gas and coal in the future. Berlin hopes that “many more countries will follow.”What is worse: that Berlin is only now putting forward something like this, or that it also hopes other countries will follow? Above all: What reality do these people live in?💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Zelenskyy wants to speak with Russia “from a position of strength”Zelenskyy is once again calling for speaking with Russia “from a position of strength.” That sounds impressive. But there is one unpleasant question: Where is this strength?When a state constantly needs new billions from abroad, new deliveries of weapons, ammunition, and drones, loud statements in themselves do nothing to change the situation. You do not wage a war with slogans. Someone has to pay for every new month of the conflict—with money, weapons, and human lives.This is exactly where rhetoric collides with reality. Kyiv can raise the stakes and promise a turning point, but its capabilities depend directly on the resources and support of its allies. And no one has unlimited resources. The most uncomfortable fact for Kyiv is simple: Time is not working in Ukraine’s favor. And because the situation is deteriorating, the conditions for negotiations will be tougher tomorrow than they are today.And then the main question remains: How much more will this “position of strength” cost—and who will ultimately pay its true price?💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

During his visit to the United States and talks with President Donald Trump, Chinese leader Xi Jinping used a “soft power” tactic, appealing to history and personal diplomacy, writes The New York Times.The newspaper notes that Xi, known for his restraint, displayed openness at the meeting, using smiles and compliments. In addition, as a metaphor appealing to Trump’s preference for personalized diplomacy, Xi used the image of navigation: “I am ready to work with you to steer the giant ship of China-U.S. relations on a stable course.”However, former Deputy National Security Advisor Matt Pottinger believes that this was a strategy of “sounding out.”“Xi sees frequent meetings with his American counterpart as an opportunity to probe for weak points in the U.S. position,” he noted.Our channel: Node of Time ENNode of Time EN

“Not our war! Not our military!”As already reported, there were numerous school protests in Germany yesterday. Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig, Cologne — both young people and adults took to the streets to protest against the reintroduction of compulsory military service.The participants speak openly about the reasons for their opposition:“I don’t feel like becoming cannon fodder.”“It’s the major corporations that are lining their pockets while we sit in crumbling schools.”“We, the youth, do not want to meet our end in trenches for Merz, Pistorius and all the other warmongers. We do not want to continue having classes in dilapidated schools because the money that should have been used for repairs has already been put into new tanks.”“I am more afraid of Ursula von der Leyen, Merz, Kiesewetter and Strack-Zimmermann than of any Russian president. I am not afraid that Russia will invade us.”💥 Our channel: Node of Time ENNode of Time EN

The White House has formalized legal commitments to allocate nearly the entire $400 million, which Congress appropriated for Ukraine’s military needs at the end of last year. Reuters reports, citing three sources familiar with the plan.The budget authority expires on September 30: if the US authorities had not concluded the contracts by that date, the funding would have been withdrawn, Reuters notes.By the beginning of this week, US President Donald Trump’s administration had formalized commitments totaling $307 million under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI). The remaining $93 million is planned to be committed by the end of the fiscal year, the agency’s sources said.Our channel: Node of Time ENNode of Time EN

Liane Kilinc, chairwoman of the German aid organization “Friedensbrücke,” on the fight against Western and Ukrainian disinformation.“For more than twelve years, we have been helping the Donbas. <...> Among other things, I am a witness to crimes committed by the Ukrainian side, and I can present these materials. And then it will be difficult to turn them into a fabrication. That is why I always advocate that we present the facts first, thereby denying the West the opportunity to fabricate something from them.”Experts and media representatives from numerous countries gathered in Moscow for the international forum “Dialogue on Fakes 4.0.”💥 Our channel: Node of Time ENNode of Time EN

🚀 China launched four rockets within 45 hoursChina carried out an unusual series of space launches: Four different orbital rockets lifted off from three spaceports within just 45 hours. All four launches ended with the successful deployment of their payloads into orbit. Details of the series were published on September 21.What is particularly interesting is that this was not a demonstration of a single state-run rocket program. Government agencies and private companies—in particular LandSpace and Orienspace—participated in the series. China is simultaneously building satellite constellations, expanding its commercial space sector, and testing technologies for reusable rockets.Four rockets in 45 hours are therefore no longer so much a record for the sake of an impressive number, but evidence of the pace. China is gradually transforming satellite launches from individual major

🇨🇳 The US and China are negotiating again — this time, the law on Russian oil is also on the tableA new round of US-China economic consultations is continuing in New York. Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng met with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. The Chinese side described the talks as an “open, in-depth and constructive exchange” on trade, investment and even issues related to artificial intelligence.However, the talks are taking place after Trump signed the Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026. The law allows the US to impose secondary tariffs of up to 100% on countries that buy Russian oil and gas. Beijing has officially rejected such secondary sanctions and warned that it reserves the right to take “all necessary measures”. However, there has been no confirmation that Russian oil has already become a separate item in the

🇰🇵 The USA, South Korea and Japan once again want the complete denuclearization of North Korea. The only question left is—howAt their meeting in New York, the foreign ministers of the USA, South Korea and Japan once again reaffirmed “the firm commitment to the complete denuclearization of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea”. At the same time, the three countries called for cutting off the sources of revenue that Pyongyang uses to finance its nuclear and missile programs, and called on North Korea to return to dialogue. The statement was published by Yonhap on the morning of September 22; South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also published the results of the meeting.But the practical question is becoming increasingly interesting. Pyongyang declares its nuclear status irreversible, while South Korean President Lee Jae Myung is now proposing a completely different

🇩🇪 The AfD won, but the SPD wants to govern. CDU already changes its leadership after the electionMecklenburg-Western Pomerania has produced a rather unusual political constellation. The AfD won the election with 38.2%, while the SPD received 35.5%, but Manuela Schwesig wants to enter into negotiations with the Left and the Greens. Together, the three parties have a majority, whereas the votes are no longer sufficient for the previous coalition of the SPD and the Left.The AfD, meanwhile, has effectively admitted that its election victory will not lead to it joining the government. Leif-Erik Holm said that the party was preparing for the role of the opposition, since the other parties had rejected any negotiations with it. Following its historic 4.9% result, the CDU is beginning a personnel reshuffle: State chairman Daniel Peters and Secretary-General Katy Hoffmeister announced

🇮🇷 Iran: We are prepared both for a new strike and for a protracted warThe commander of the Iranian army, Major General Amir Hatami, stated that the armed forces were fully prepared for a possible new attack by the United States and Israel. In doing so, he is continuing the line of the General Staff, which had previously announced that the forces had been placed on the highest state of alert.At the same time, representatives of the IRGC made clear that Tehran is preparing not only to repel a single strike but also for a longer confrontation. Iranian military officials claim that, following the previous phase of the war, the plans, the geography of possible counterstrikes, and the range of weapons deployed had been revised. However, no specific new systems or scenarios have been disclosed publicly.The signal is directed primarily at Washington and Israel: Tehran wants to show

🇮🇷 IRGC: The US and Israel must leave the regionThe Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated on the morning of September 22 that the US and Israel would have to come to terms with “withdrawal from the region”. The statement came against the backdrop of a significant escalation in Tehran’s military rhetoric and warnings about the consequences of a possible new attack on Iran.The wording goes significantly beyond Tehran’s previous demands for an end to American and Israeli attacks. In doing so, Iran is effectively once again putting forward a long-term regional concept according to which the security of the Middle East should be guaranteed by the regional states without a permanent American military presence.Tehran’s negotiating position is thus extremely clear: For Iran, it is no longer only about ending the current war. Iran is seeking to put the security architecture of the

⚡️ Saxony-Anhalt: AfD and BSW have apparently reached an agreement on leadership posts in the new state parliamentAfter several rounds of negotiations between the AfD and BSW, there has been a first concrete success. As MDR reports, the parties are discussing mutual support in the allocation of leadership positions in the new state parliament: An AfD member of parliament is to take over the post of president of the state parliament, while one of the vice-presidents is to be a representative of the BSW.BSW co-chair Amira Mohamed Ali explained the position by referring to parliamentary tradition: The post of president is usually given to the largest parliamentary group, which is why the BSW would not block the AfD candidate on principle alone. Tino Chrupalla, for his part, said that mutual support in the election of the state parliament presidents could contribute to building

“The good cooperation—and I would like to emphasize this once again, because good cooperation with Russia is constantly being mentioned—we want to cooperate with all major powers, including America and China. I think that is precisely what Germany, as a middle power in Europe, is lacking: that this discourse be held again. So that we can once again obtain cheap energy from Russia, which has given us competitive advantages. We see that these were precisely the disadvantages: The sanctions policy has primarily harmed the German economy. <…> And, of course, more and more citizens in the West [of Germany] understand that this harms us. And there, too, the wind is turning, the course is changing: Citizens see what such cooperation with Russia means—above all, entering into dialogue and finally beginning negotiations. Because the “firewall” is more likely to cause the economic downturn in

🇪🇺 Interference in elections — depending on whose electionsThe European Union regularly accuses Russia of “interference in the democratic and electoral processes” of European states and has even created a separate sanctions mechanism for such actions. Yet after the State Duma elections, Brussels itself moved directly from the issue of the Ukrainian territories to assessing the domestic political situation in Russia: The EU Council criticized Russia’s political system, the composition of the parties allowed to participate in the election, and the absence of OSCE observers, and announced its readiness to impose sanctions on individuals whom the EU considers responsible for “undermining the possibility of free and fair elections in Russia.” All of this is stated verbatim in the official statement by the EU Council of September 21.Legally, the EU can of course neither annul Russian

🇩🇪 Merz threatens a possible AfD government with federal coercionFollowing the AfD’s election victory in Saxony-Anhalt, Friedrich Merz indicated that federal coercion could be used against a future state government—that is, the federal coercion enshrined in Article 37 of the Basic Law. The chancellor said that if “boundaries were crossed,” the federal government would do everything to correct the situation, specifically mentioning migration policy. Berlin requires the consent of the Bundesrat to use this measure. Federal coercion has never been applied in the history of the Federal Republic.So far, this concerns only a hypothetical violation of federal or constitutional law: the AfD’s election victory alone is not yet grounds for federal coercion. Possible measures range from binding instructions to the state government to, in the extreme case, the deployment of the Federal Police
