Day: November 10, 2024

Russian President Vladimir Putin has congratulated President Donald Trump on his historic election victory and confirmed Russia is ready to hold peace talks to end the Ukraine war.

Putin made those comments during a policy forum in Sochi, Russia.

After a long speech, Putin said that he would like to “take this opportunity to congratulate [Trump] on his election as president of the United States.”

He went on to say Russia is ready for talks with Trump on ending the conflict.

However, Putin stated:

“Russia didn’t ruin relations with the U.S. and is open to reviving them, but the ball is in the Americans’ court.”

Putin’s comments are a direct shot at President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris who oversaw the beginning of the war in Ukraine.

Some 130,000 in Valencia have demanded the resignation of the head of the local government

Clashes between protesters and police broke out in Valencia and Madrid during large-scale demonstrations on Saturday over Spanish authorities’ insufficient response to deadly floods that took place across Spain several weeks ago.

At least 220 people were killed and thousands of homes and businesses were destroyed when a rapid deluge caused by heavy rains inundated several towns in the province of Valencia in eastern Spain last month. Some 80 people are still missing as a result of what officials are calling one of Europe’s worst natural disasters in decades.

Around 130,000 demonstrators took to the streets of the city of Valencia to demand the resignation of Carlos Mazon, the head of the provincial government, El Pais newspaper reported.

Moscow has ratified a bilateral strategic security treaty with Pyongyang

Russian President Vladimir Putin has finalized the ratification of a strategic partnership agreement that he and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un signed during his visit to Pyongyang in June.

The Russian State Duma, the lower chamber of parliament, unanimously approved the treaty late last month, and the upper house, the Federation Council, did the same on November 6. Putin gave his final stamp of approval on Saturday, according to the official portal of the country’s legislature.

The document signed by the Russian president, dated November 9, ratifies the “Comprehensive Partnership Agreement between the Russian Federation and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, signed in Pyongyang on June 19, 2024.” The treaty will officially come into force once Moscow and Pyongyang exchange the instruments of ratification.
