A single survey often reports all adults and registered voters separately, so the same pollster and dates can appear twice; where approve and disapprove add up to less than 100%, the rest were unsure or did not answer.

Trump said reaching a diesel supply agreement with Russia was the right choice and claimed the EU paid Russia $250 billion for energy. Putin and Trump discussed oil product supplies during an October 9 call. Russia said it would lift its diesel export ban early and increase planned supplies from October through December; the US issued a license allowing Russian diesel sales to the global market through April 7, 2027.

Germany, the UK and France publicly backed Zelensky after Trump said Ukraine needed a new leader. Zelensky said he was ready to hold elections before the war ends, provided there is a 60-day total ceasefire. Peskov argued Ukraine would use that time to regroup and continue the war. Zelensky also said Russian drones struck a Kharkiv power plant after Trump announced an energy ceasefire.

Trump said Ukraine should get a new president, while Zelenskyy offered to hold an election if Putin guaranteed a 60-day ceasefire. Former military chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi is described as the likeliest challenger; intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov and reformer Fedorov are also potential contenders.

The Wall Street Journal says relations between Trump and Zelensky have fallen to their lowest point since their 2025 Oval Office clash after Trump said Ukraine may need a new leader to make a deal. Trump also criticized Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries. Zelensky said Ukraine would stop those strikes if Russia halted attacks on its energy infrastructure, while Kyiv fears a renewed suspension of U.S. intelligence sharing.
MMeduza
Donald Trump said Sunday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an immediate ceasefire covering energy, but offered no details. Ukrainian officials said they knew nothing about it, and Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine was ready to accept the truce if Trump and Putin had negotiated it, asking when it would begin. Trump made a similar announcement on September 14; the Financial Times later reported he may have spoken prematurely, with sources saying Putin did not want an energy deal before winter.
