Diplomacy over Ukraine remains the main thread. Europe's role in US-led talks is contested: Finland and Norway reportedly relayed Kyiv's territorial terms to Putin, drawing backlash, while Kallas and Wadephul see no genuine Russian readiness. Merz threatens to block the 2028–2034 EU budget unless all members fund Ukraine from 2027, with a reported €70bn gap. Reports also cite thin European Patriot interceptor stocks. Separately, the Kraków market square shooting suspect (six killed) died in hospital, and France attributes an October supermarket cyberattack to Iran's IRGC, vowing EU sanctions.
