Ein neues „Jalta“, bei dem die Anführer Chinas, der USA und Russlands über die Zukunft der Ukraine und des Kontinents verhandeln – ohne die Europäer? Entsprechende Befürchtungen, dass es dazu am Rande des Apec-Gipfels Mitte November in Shenzhen kommen könnte, hat Chinas Staats- und Parteichef Xi Jinping in einem Gespräch mit Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier am Freitag offenbar persönlich zurückgewiesen. Das berichtete Steinmeier am Sonntag der ARD.

„Ich habe Präsident Xi, nachdem ich solche Meldungen auch gelesen habe, direkt darauf angesprochen und man konnte die Irritation in seinem Gesicht feststellen, weil er anschließend auch gefragt hat, woher solche Gerüchte kommen“, sagte Steinmeier dem Sender auf dem Rückflug aus China. Sodann habe Xi auf den bevorstehenden Gipfel der Pazifik-Anrainerstaaten Apec verwiesen, der für den 18. und 19. November im chinesischen Shenzhen stattfindet. „Aber es ist nach seiner Auffassung keinerlei Vorbereitung für einen Ukraine-Gipfel unter Beteiligung der USA, Russlands und China am Horizont.“ Steinmeier sagte weiter: „Er (Xi) hat ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, dass dies ein europäischer Konflikt sei, bei dem die Europäer mit am Tisch sitzen müssen.“

Diese Angaben decken sich mit verschiedenen Gesprächen mit chinesischen und westlichen Vertretern. China hat offenbar weder Interesse daran, Gastgeber eines solchen Ukraine-Gipfels zu sein, noch will es die Europäer weiter verprellen oder gar Verantwortung für eine Friedensregelung übernehmen. Zudem sieht China Russsland schlicht nicht auf Augenhöhe, wenn es um eine Umgestaltung der Welt geht. China blickt auf die Großen Zwei

„Sie wollen G2“, sagt ein Beobachter. China hat ein strategisches Interesse daran, von Washington als gleichrangige Supermacht behandelt zu werden. Amerika und China auf einer Ebene, die Großen Zwei: Dazu gehört Russland nicht. „Einen Ukraine-Gipfel wollen die nicht“, sagt ein anderer. Aber dass es in Shenzhen zu einem gesonderten Treffen zwischen US-Präsident Donald Trump, Russlands Staatschef Wladimir Putin und Xi über andere Themen kommt, ist weiter möglich.

Zuerst war es die russische Seite, die ein solches trilaterales Format am Rande des nächsten Apec-Gipfels ins Spiel gebracht hatte. Nach unbestätigten Angaben des „Wall Street Journal“ habe Putin selbst vorgeschlagen, in Shenzhen über ein Ende des Ukrainekrieges zu für Moskau vorteilhaften Bedingungen zu verhandeln. Das würde Putins Stellung aufwerten. Die Rede war von einer Art „zweitem Jalta“: Ein Gipfel der drei Mächte, bei dem über Einflusssphären verhandelt würde. Das nährte insbesondere in Europa Befürchtungen, zumal die Ukraine und die Europäer in Shenzhen als Nicht-Pazifikanreiner nicht mit dabei sind. Der ukrainische Außenminister Andrij Sybiha warnte ausdrücklich vor einem solchen Dreiertreffen ohne das angegriffene Land. Am 21. Oktober traf er sich mit dem chinesischen Botschafter in Kiew.

Trump wiederum hat zwar Bereitschaft zu einem solchen trilateralen Gipfel gezeigt, nannte als Tagesordnungspunkt aber vor allem sein wiederholt geäußertes Ziel, über nukleare Abrüstung zu sprechen. Dazu sind die Chinesen seit jeher nicht bereit, weil ihr nukleares Arsenal weit geringer ist als das von Amerika und Russland. Schon bei seinem Treffen mit Xi Ende September in Washington soll Trump trilaterale Rüstungskontrollverhandlungen vorgeschlagen haben. In der chinesischen Darstellung des Treffens tauchte der Vorschlag nicht auf. „Die Chinesen haben nie einen Ukraine-Gipfel ins Auge gefasst“

Und so ging auch das chinesische Außenministerium auf Fragen nach dem Shenzhen-Gipfel nur auf das Atomthema ein: „Angesichts ihres enormen Atomwaffenarsenals“ sei es von den USA „weder fair noch vernünftig noch realistisch, von China zu verlangen, sich zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt an den sogenannten trilateralen Verhandlungen zur nuklearen Abrüstung zu beteiligen“, sagte Sprecherin Mao Ning im Oktober. Über ein Dreiertreffen hingegen habe sie „keine Informationen“. Schon über die Tagesordnung also scheint Dissens zu herrschen. Und bis es in Shenzhen soweit ist, kann mit den amerikanischen Zwischenwahlen am Dienstag, einer möglichen Eskalation des Irankrieges und Meinungsumschwüngen Trumps noch viel passieren.

So dürfte ein gesondertes Treffen zwischen Xi, Trump und Putin eher symbolischen als inhaltlichen Charakter haben, wenn es denn stattfindet. „Meines Wissens haben die Chinesen nie einen trilateralen Gipfel zur Ukraine ins Auge gefasst, und das ist auch nicht das, was in chinesischen Politikkreisen diskutiert wurde“, sagt Yun Sun, Chinaspezialistin des amerikanischen Stimson-Zentrums der F.A.Z. Solch ein Gipfel zwischen den Spitzen der USA, Chinas und Russlands könne zwar viele dringende Themen abdecken, fügt Yun Sun hinzu, die in China Gespräche dazu geführt hat. „Es ist aber kaum glaubwürdig, zu erwarten, dass China einen trilateralen Gipfel zum Ukraine-Konflikt ausrichten würde. Das mag zwar das Bestreben Russlands sein, nicht jedoch das Chinas.“

Hinzu kommt, dass Peking eine weitere Eskalation mit der Europäischen Union offenbar gerade vermeiden will. Die EU verschärft ihre Schutzinstrumente im Handel und baut ihre Beziehungen zu asiatischen Demokratien aus. China braucht europäischen Markt und sucht in den Außenbeziehungen nach verbreiteter Analyse mindestens bis zum wichtigen Parteitag 2027 Ruhe für die Innenpolitik.

So dürfte China den Shenzhen-Gipfel vor allem dazu nutzen, sich öffentlich als zentrale Weltmacht zu positionieren und dadurch an Prestige zu gewinnen. Zudem scheint China interessiert, dass Russland diplomatisch eingebunden bleibt. Aber Verantwortung für einen möglichen Ukraine-Deal will Peking nicht übernehmen und Sicherheitsgarantien schon gar nicht. Mit der Kriegssituation kann China offensichtlich weiter leben, die Europa und die NATO bindet und belastet. Auch so lassen sich Äußerungen aus Peking verstehen, dass der Ukrainekrieg eine „europäische Angelegenheit“ ist.>

Omg trueee
I'm pretty sure people on the streets are scared of me, cause of my height and masc appearance. But they have no idea that I'm much more scared of them. That I'm actually really soft and weak. That I'm not a threat in the slightest. And I just wish that I could signal that to them somehow...

Many of these companies are hoping to capitalize on gen Z’s growing weariness about the devices and social media platforms they grew up with. Nearly 60% of gen Z respondents identified as having a social media addiction in an April poll, and a third of the generation said they had deleted some of those apps, according to a 2025 survey.

The shift has also been driven by growing anger at tech platforms that have left some in gen Z feeling as if they are being exploited for profit.

Gen Z “was basically optimized for dopamine by very smart systems”, said Kenneth Schlenker, 39, a former product marketer at Google and co-founder of Opal. “But this generation is also realizing what they don’t want and are trying to change how the system impacts them.”

For Novaya Gazeta, a bastion of free press in Moscow, the end has come. “They killed us,” the editorial team of Dmitry Muratov, co-winner of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize (with Philippine journalist Maria Ressa), warned on Friday, October 30. “They” refers to the special services of the FSB (Federal Security Service, successor to the Soviet-era KGB). In a letter published by Le Monde, current editor-in-chief Sergei Sokolov described the “coordinated operation” carried out over recent weeks against Russia’s last outspoken media outlet.

“Deprived of means of subsistence and under constant threat of repression,” Novaya Gazeta can no longer continue its work as it had managed to do over nearly five years of war. “On November 9, we will turn off the lights in our home, where we have lived for 30 years. We will shut down the servers and leave,” wrote Sokolov. “The newspaper no longer exists.”

‘They killed us’: The farewell letter by Russia’s free newspaper ‘Novaya Gazeta,’ forced by authorities to close In March 2022, blocked by authorities after its opposition to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Novaya Gazeta (originally a thrice-weekly print publication) chose to halt all publication temporarily. Since then, it found other ways to operate. Exiled journalists founded Novaya Gazeta Europe to continue their reporting. This autonomous outlet will continue to exist. In Moscow, despite bans and threats, Muratov and his team persist publishing in other formats, mainly on the internet and through an occasional print version with fewer than 1,000 copies, the threshold above which registration as a media outlet is required.

In recent months, the pressure escalated against the Moscow newsroom, which, since the newspaper’s founding in 1993, had tirelessly investigated corruption, state violence and human rights violations. For five years, the team resisted from Potapovsky Lane, the newspaper’s historic headquarters. But on April 9, the police conducted a 13-hour search and seizure operation at those offices, confiscating computers, electronic devices and many important documents from Muratov’s safe. They arrested one journalist, Oleg Roldugin, who was placed under house arrest pending trial. Charged with “illegally collecting and disseminating computer information containing personal data,” he faces up to six years in prison.

‘Foreign agents’

Then, in September, the courts added Novaya Gazeta to its list of foreign agents. Muratov was already designated as such – number 665 in the register maintained by the Ministry of Justice, where around one hundred names, mostly journalists and contributors to the newspaper, have since been added. Unlike many other independent publications, Novaya Gazeta had so far avoided this classification, which, reminiscent of the Soviet-era label “enemies of the people,” imposes countless Kafkaesque formalities. On October 15, the noose tightened further. Sokolov, already arrested in 2024 and prosecuted for “discrediting the armed forces” over an article, was detained by police. After a search at his Moscow home, he was questioned for several hours by the Investigative Committee. Reporters Without Borders denounced “new escalation in the authorities’ relentless campaign against this emblematic independent Russian media outlet.”

Journalists in Russia: ‘It’s much more dangerous today than it was under perestroika’ Released, Sokolov immediately returned to the newspaper. But, in his own words, Novaya Gazeta has since found itself in a “killing zone,” with its journalists “surrounded on all sides by security services.” A special operation targeted the newsroom. The same day it received an eviction notice demanding its departure from its historic headquarters, the authorities simultaneously disabled the donation system that, for five years, had allowed the outlet to receive reader financial support.

“We can no longer exist,” Muratov warned as early as October 20, at an event in Paris organized by Le Monde and the Théâtre de la Ville in tribute to Anna Politkovskaya, murdered on October 7, 2006, outside her Moscow home and one of six Novaya Gazeta journalists killed under Putin’s regime. “Does Article 29 of the Russian Constitution, ‘Censorship is prohibited,’ not sound today like a grim joke?” the editorial team denounced in its farewell letter. “The real betrayal is when the state betrays its own Constitution. And that betrayal is a crime unfolding right now, before the entire world. The assassination of Novaya Gazeta is further proof.” In Russia, more than 30 journalists from various media outlets are currently in prison. Factual but cautious, meticulously complying with increasingly repressive laws and practicing growing self-censorship, Novaya Gazeta had managed to survive since 2022. This is no doubt thanks to the international stature of Muratov’s Nobel Peace Prize; he is one of the newspaper’s founders. For a long time, it was also due to the personality of one of its shareholders, Mikhail Gorbachev, the last Soviet leader and architect of Perestroika, who died on August 30, 2022. These two moral guarantees, by October 2026, were not enough to save Novaya Gazeta from the FSB’s operation

The Soviet War Cemetery in Leusden, the Netherlands, has once again been targeted by anti-communist vandals, in another despicable attack on the memory of those who suffered and died under Nazism.

The latest desecration, which took place on October 31, follows a similar incident in July and has been strongly condemned by Dutch communists.

Unidentified perpetrators defaced the cemetery's memorial wall and obelisk with anti-communist and xenophobic slogans, including “Not against Russians, but against commies” and “Fuck refugees.” The graffiti suggests a possible neo-Nazi motivation, although those responsible have not been identified. The cemetery contains the graves of 865 Soviet war victims, including Red Army soldiers and prisoners of war.

In July 2026, approximately 150 gravestones and memorial structures at the same cemetery were vandalized with explicitly neo-Nazi and anti-communist graffiti, including “White Power,” “NS/WP” (National Socialism/White Power) and “Fuck Communism.” The New Communist Party of the Netherlands (NCPN) had strongly condemned that attack.

In a statement published on November 1, the Communist Party of the Netherlands (CPN) denounced the latest outrage, warning against the growing influence of fascist and far-right forces.

The party also condemned the anti-communist historical revisionism promoted by the Dutch state and the European Union, particularly attempts to equate communism with fascism, arguing that such distortions undermine the memory of the anti-fascist struggle.

The Dutch communists emphasized that no amount of fascist vandalism can erase the decisive contribution of the Soviet Red Army to the defeat of Nazi Germany. While communists sacrificed their lives fighting the Nazi occupiers, fascist collaborators served them.

The CPN has once again offered to assist the Soviet War Cemetery Foundation in restoring the damaged monuments.

“Not then, not now, never again fascism! No pasarán!” the party declared.
