As Texans head to the polls in a closely watched Senate race, what matters most to them? The economy, political division, and domestic issues have dominated the conversation. But where do Europe, NATO and Ukraine fit into the picture? I put those questions to voters in Texas.  #Midterms2026 @DeutscheWelle

Howdy from Austin! The DW election team is on the ground, covering all things Texas and Michigan alongside my colleague @janelledumalaon. What’s on the ballot? How many people voted early? And who’s expected to win, especially in the Senate race? Follow our coverage tonight!

A humanitarian operation to rescue people in Oleshky, in the Kherson region, has taken place. A ceasefire was established in the Kherson sector, during which roads to Oleshky were cleared of mines and humanitarian aid was delivered. We hope humanitarian access to Oleshky will remain open. Also, people who needed evacuation have been taken out of the city and the surrounding community. As of now, Ukrainian citizens from Oleshky have crossed the Ukrainian border in the Chernihiv region. All of them will receive the assistance they need. It is important that government agencies and all the regional and local authorities involved work effectively and help our people adapt. I thank the American side and U.S. First Lady Melania Trump for their mediation. I am proud of our Defense Forces of Ukraine, who defend our country and honorably ensured the security conditions for this humanitarian operation. I thank Ukraine’s Human Rights Ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets, and his team for carrying out this mission. And I thank everyone around the world – every journalist, every political and civic leader, and every concerned person – who helped draw global attention to the situation in Oleshky and the true humanitarian catastrophe in Ukrainian territory temporarily occupied by Russia. When the world pays attention, people are rescued. Further steps toward de-escalation and real progress toward peace are also needed. Glory to Ukraine!

Oleshky evacuees are arriving in Belarus, after departing Ukraine through Russia, and will soon be arriving in Kyiv. @Newsmax followed their journey and documented the humanitarian effort that was made possibly by the ceasefire brokered by @FLOTUS Melania Trump. Stay tuned.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul looks over to his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, during the first plenary session of the G20 Foreign Ministers's Meeting in Atlanta.

Melania Trump @FLOTUS confirms the humanitarian ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in Oleshky has commenced. Oleshky is a 🇺🇦 Ukrainian city that is currently occupied by Russian troops.

Key points from Kremlin readout on Putin call with Stubb/Støre: - Sides welcomed agreement to resume trilateral Russia/Ukraine/US talks in Abu Dhabi in November to address post-war security guarantees for Russia and Ukraine; - Putin shared assessment of front line and restated position on root causes/need for just longterm peace with Russian interests taken into account; - Putin highlighted “confrontational policies pursued by EU and NATO” which he said are “contributing to the prolongation of the conflict”; - Putin broached issues of security and stability in the Baltic Sea region and Northern Europe + sides reaffirmed importance of upholding international maritime law and freedom of navigation; - Putin gave update on Oleshky ceasefire; - Leaders agreed to maintain direct contact.

Norwegian PM @jonasgahrstore and I had a good phone call with @ZelenskyyUa . We discussed our prior call with President Putin. Finland and Norway will continue to support Ukraine, and the efforts to find a just and lasting peace.

Elon Musk claims that Ukraine allegedly violated Starlink's terms of use and used the system on combat drones. As someone who was inside the process at the Ministry of Defense, I can say with certainty that this is not true. In February of this year, whitelists were introduced. Stationary terminals could be registered by both military personnel and civilians. But for any satellite terminal to work while on the move, it had to be added to a special list and connected to the military Starshield system. Otherwise, no satellite communication terminals in Ukraine would work. In other words, using civilian Starlink for drone missions was technically impossible. All drone missions that required satellite communication could only be carried out using Starshield. We are very grateful to the United States and SpaceX for access to critically important satellite communications. Ukraine did not violate the terms of use.

❗️Attention! Information Regarding a Humanitarian Mission to Assist the People of Oleshky US @FLOTUS has issued a statement announcing the launch of a humanitarian mission to rescue people currently in the city of Oleshky. I confirm this statement and would like to personally thank Melania Trump and her team for their efforts, leadership, and coordination between the Ukrainian and Russian negotiating teams in reaching an agreement. On the Ukrainian side, I conducted the negotiations in my capacity as Ukraine’s Ombudsman, while Yana Lantratova, Commissioner for Human Rights, represented the Russian side. Under our agreement: 📌a ceasefire will be established; 📌humanitarian aid will be delivered to Oleshky; 📌the safe passage of civilians out of Oleshky will be ensured. I ask for your understanding regarding the public disclosure of information about this critical humanitarian mission. The whole world knows about Oleshky today, and we are doing everything possible to rescue our citizens who are currently there. The operation is extremely complex and will be carried out in stages. ‼️I will keep you updated and continue to inform the Ukrainian public and share the results. As of today, the Ukrainian side has done — and continues to do —everything in its power to rescue the citizens currently in Oleshky.

JUST IN: First Lady Melania Trump successfully secured a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, localized to the city of Oleshky, according to the White House.

Reporter: Did you tell Elon Musk to bring back Starlink for Ukraine? President Trump:

President Trump tells me as he departs the White House that he “will certainly consider” allowing Ukrainian TPS holders to remain in the U.S. until the war ends. @DeutscheWelle

DHS spokesperson to DW on the future of the TPS status for Ukrainian nationals in the United States: "An announcement on Ukraine’s TPS will be made at the appropriate time. Until such an announcement is made, Ukrainian individuals present in the U.S. under TPS retain protection.”

WSJ: Russian President Putin has proposed that he, President Trump and Chinese leader Xi meet next month to talk about Ukraine in an attempt to negotiate an end to the four-year conflict that would favor Moscow.
