The most interesting from the "Kremlin without towers" for the week with the best comments from colleagues:.
1. Constructive Analyst Telegram Channel: What are the possible options for a "breakthrough" in the negotiations? First of all, along the "humanitarian line" (Melania Trump's mission), the grain deal, the energy cut, the exchange of prisoners, etc. Obviously, this is not enough to eliminate the "root causes of the conflict". This means that two options remain: either Kiev will agree to "give up Donbas", or Moscow is ready, to one degree or another, to freeze hostilities along the contact line. Even if such a "fantastic" option goes through, it, again, does not solve the issue of dividing the world and the "root causes" do not disappear anywhere.

2. Political scientist Ilya Gershchenkov: Trump's promise to conclude a "great and wonderful agreement" on Ukraine and all of Europe should be read not only as a diplomatic message, but also as an attempt to record a historic result before Congress begins to constrain the president.

3. Telegram Channel The Master of the Pen: Representatives of Russia, the USA and Ukraine sat down at the welcoming Arab negotiating table on November 10, exactly the anniversary of the departure of L. I. Brezhnev, one of whose most beloved films was the series "Seventeen Moments of Spring". Since then, that famous series has become a true legend, and its characters and storylines have become symbols that are often aligned with the heroes and ups and downs of the current era.
4. Journalist Andrey Klytin *: All existing international institutions are in a state of coma: neither the UN, NATO nor the European Union, no one can guarantee the safety of the planet today. The world is on the verge of creating alliances and new military-political institutions, which in the future will be able to take responsibility for the difficult decisions they must make, so that the global disorder will find order, and the discourse on form will be replaced by a dialogue on content.
