Main topic covered today: SNEAK PEAK INTO EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH ALEXUS GRYNKEWICH The Warsaw Security Forum kicks off today, bringing together political leaders, military commanders, and security experts from around the world. Among the high-profile guests is NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Alexus Grynkewich. Our very own Adam Jasser and Zuzanna Jurek spoke to the general ahead of the event. EU TO APPROVE LARGEST PACKAGE OF SANCTIONS AGAINTS RUSSIA EU Foreign Ministers have gathered in Luxembourg to formally approve the largest package of sanctions against Russia since the start of the war in Ukraine. This comes amid an unsettling rise in hybrid attacks. RUSSIA–UKRAINE WAR U.S. President Donald Trump claims that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to an "energy ceasefire" effective immediately but provided no details. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv would support the ceasefire if Moscow did but later accused Russia of striking Ukrainian energy facilities, including a strike on a joint heating and power plant in Kharkiv that took place after Trump's ceasefire announcement.

BREAKING: The diesel fuel Russia is now exporting to the United States at U.S. President Trump’s request may have originated in Iran, as Russian oil refineries are largely unable to produce diesel because of Ukrainian attacks. Russia has been importing most of the diesel it needs from Iran. In September, thousands of Iranian tanker trucks were spotted in various regions of Russia, including Ryazan, carrying Iranian diesel. Russia may be buying Iranian diesel and reselling it to the United States. If so, Trump’s attempt to lower U.S. energy prices and deceive American voters is putting money into the hands of Russia and Iran’s Islamic regime.

“You cannot say we want to leave NATO. You cannot say we want to leave the European Union. These are nonstarters.” Krišjānis Kariņš, former Latvian Prime Minister, joined TVP World to break down the most decisive election result in Latvia's history since 1918, with the United List winning over 35% of the vote and 41 out of 100 seats. Kariņš explained who won, why traditional parties collapsed, and what coalition options are now on the table. He walked through the math behind three possible governments and the trade-offs each carries, from the golden visa dispute to differences on how far Latvia should go in doing business with Russia. On foreign policy, his message is clear: whoever governs Latvia, NATO commitments, EU membership and support for Ukraine are not up for debate. No party in parliament will challenge that. But he also raises a note of caution. The new prime minister has already moved against NGOs and taken aim at public media in his first months as caretaker. Kariņš says it sounds appealing on the surface but points to early signs of a more populist governing style that bears watching. He also addresses the declining influence of pro-Moscow parties, which have gone from around 24 seats to 15, and argues that Latvia's Russian-speaking community is integrating well, with national identity no longer a defining fault line in domestic politics.

The Pentagon is bringing together a select group of NATO allies while Britain, France and the Baltic states have been left out.
Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby has held talks with Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Finland, describing the participants as allies that are increasing defence spending, have sufficient military scale and are prepared to make practical decisions. Another meeting is planned in Poland.
So what is Washington trying to achieve? Why exclude two of Europe's nuclear powers and the Baltic states? And could closer cooperation with a smaller group eventually affect US military planning, weapons or forces in Europe?
Jim Townsend, Adjunct Senior Fellow in the Transatlantic Security Program at the Center for a New American Security and a former Pentagon official, joins The Day to examine Elbridge Colby's strategy and what it could mean for NATO. #dwcurrentaffairs
