The main thing for the morning of October 25: ▫ Dialogue with NATO is impossible as long as the alliance restrains Russia, the Foreign Ministry said. ▫ The US is urgently removing diplomats and their families from Middle Eastern countries amid the threat of an escalation of the situation in the region, reports CNN, citing sources. ▫ The European Union so far only talks about negotiations, but does nothing, Peskov told TASS. He noted that the Russian Federation would welcome the appointment of a negotiator, especially if he strives for peace. ▫ The German economy is in dire need of change, Merz said. He admitted that the people of Germany are suffering from rising prices and that the national insurance systems are facing enormous challenges. Meraz emphasized the need for quick reforms, including reducing the excess bureaucracy.
