The tanker Agioi Fanendes, carrying about 40,000 tons of Russian diesel, has been zigzagging some 400 nautical miles off New York since 9 November after turning away from the US coast, Bloomberg reported. By 10 November it had come to a halt, Reuters reported. Its Greek manager, Eastmed, told Reuters the ship was “still awaiting orders.”

The tanker left Russia in late October under the diesel deal that Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin struck on 9 October. Unlike Talisman and Leruo, the first two tankers to turn away, it is not sanctioned, tracker Windward noted. Yet Vortexa analyst Ellie Valencia told Reuters that its slowdown most likely means it “doesn’t yet have a specific buyer.” On 10 November, Energy Secretary Chris Wright was asked whether that worried him. “Not at all,” he said, adding that the cargo would “go to another port.” The deal was sold as relief at the pump, yet a month later no Russian diesel has reached the US, according to tracking data cited by Bloomberg.

Warnings before the halt

The ship had been due in New York on 7 November, according to LSEG data cited by Reuters. Earlier, on 27 October, Senator Richard Blumenthal demanded that its owner recall it. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill argued that the administration could not override the 2022 ban on Russian energy imports, AP reported. The Treasury, however, told AP that its license complies with all applicable laws.

“It’s clear there’s hesitancy here in bringing these barrels onshore just because of the implications of doing so,” Kpler analyst Matt Smith told AP.

By Euromaidan Press’s tracking, the Agioi Fanendes is the sixth tanker to turn away from the US. Two of the earlier five, Hanna and Manta, were on a Ukrainian monitor’s list of tankers that could be US-bound.

Moscow insists, supply may shrink

On 5 November, Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev claimed on X that reports of diversions were “fake” and that “tankers destined for the US continue on course.”

Meanwhile, Bloomberg counts six Russian refineries attacked since early November. On 30 October, Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandr Novak claimed that such attacks could push diesel exports below the 2.1 million tons planned for November, though only slightly, Interfax reported.

Drones hit the port zone of Ust-Luga overnight on 11 November, starting a fire and injuring three workers, Leningrad Oblast Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko wrote.

Ust-Luga is Russia’s largest Baltic port, and its oil terminals ship crude and refined products. Two days earlier, drones set fire to the Kirishi refinery, which fuels St. Petersburg. Every strike on Ust-Luga also reaches NATO’s doorstep: the port lies only about 30 km from the Estonian border.

Fire seen from Estonia

Drozdenko first wrote at 05:02 Kyiv time (the same in Finland and the Baltics) that, according to preliminary information, there had been a hit in the port zone. He added that a transformer substation had shut down. At 06:23, he wrote that the workers’ lives were not in danger. One was hospitalized with a shrapnel wound to the leg, regional official Nikita Dontsov told TASS, Lenta.ru reported.

NASA FIRMS data show two clusters of new heat detections on 11 November: a main one in the port and a smaller one about 8 km to the west-southwest. The area showed none in the previous month.

Estonian broadcaster ERR published images it says show the attack seen from Ida-Viru County.

As of 14:00, Ukraine’s General Staff had not commented. It confirmed the 1 September strike on the port’s Novatek complex the following day.

A record night for Leningrad Oblast

By Drozdenko’s claimed tally of 150 drones downed, it was the region’s largest attack, topping 145 on 18 October, Russian outlet Agentstvo Novosti noted. Restrictions at St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo airport from 23:47 to 06:29 delayed more than 30 departures and about 20 arrivals, and two planes bound for the city landed in Helsinki, it added.

At 23:27 on 10 November, within a minute of Drozdenko’s drone-danger notice, Latvia’s National Armed Forces issued an orange alert for Ludza. It later raised orange alerts in Krāslava, Balvi, Aizkraukle, Madona, Cēsis, Smiltene and Gulbene.

In Lithuania, NATO fighters twice tried and failed to destroy a drone that had entered from Belarus, and one missile that missed was later found in the Biržai district, Defense Staff chief Giedrius Premeneckas told reporters, LRT reported. He said the drone then crossed Latvia and Estonia into Russia and could have been disrupted during Ukraine’s attack, though this was unconfirmed. Crisis center head Vilmantas Vitkauskas called Russian claims that Lithuania opens its airspace to Ukrainian drones a lie.

At 02:09 and 02:15, Finland’s Defense Forces set temporary airspace and maritime restriction zones in the eastern Gulf of Finland, calling them a precaution to protect bystanders and counter potential drones. At 03:12, the Estonian Defense Forces warned of a possible air threat in six southern counties, and two northeastern ones at 03:45, ERR reported.

• Players’ relationship has been under intense scrutiny

• Paul George scores 36 points in 123-101 victory

• Tatum appears to ignore former teammate before game

Jayson Tatum scored 21 points and outplayed his former Boston teammate, Jaylen Brown, and Paul George scored 36 points in his return to Philadelphia, leading the Celtics past the 76ers 123-101 on Tuesday night.

Brown ran into early foul trouble and scored only 13 points in his first game against Boston since the 2024 NBA Finals MVP was traded over the summer to the Sixers. He also had four turnovers. His head-to-head showdown with Tatum was one of the more anticipated early-season matchups with both players refusing to say much about their frosty relationship.

House Republicans block impeachment resolution that cited US military actions in Iran, Yemen and Venezuela. Plus, SS United States to be sunk to create artificial reef

Good morning. House Republicans have blocked an effort to impeach Pete Hegseth. The defense secretary dismissed the impeachment resolution from a Republican lawmaker as “political spectacle”, saying it was an attempt to set up a “show trial”. Top Democrats announced their support for the resolution, but Republicans moved to kill it by referring it to the judiciary committee.

Thomas Massie’s 34-page resolution, which he read aloud on the House floor, centered on the Iran war. Hegseth said the articles targeted not just him but the troops who carried out his orders. He insisted that every operation the articles cite – including strikes on Iran and Yemen, attacks on alleged drug boats and the capture of Venezuela’s now former leader Nicolás Maduro – was lawful, ordered by Donald Trump and notified to Congress.

Why has the US Treasury chief reportedly moved?

Le président français Emmanuel Macron préside ce mercredi – pour la dernière fois en tant que chef de l'État –, les commémorations du 11 novembre 1918.

U.S. Special Envoy Jared Kushner said he would travel to Moscow on Thursday with Steve Witkoff, another special envoy of President Donald Trump, to meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

But, says one expert, it would be misleading to say that gerrymandering did not work at all in this election

If there was one obvious conclusion from Democrats’ sweeping victories in the mid-term elections on Tuesday, it seemed to be that the Republican effort to redraw congressional districts in their favor backfired.

Starting last summer, Trump and Republican allies undertook an aggressive effort to redraw congressional districts, reconfiguring the lines to give Republican candidates an advantage. Ahead of the midterms, Republicans redrew 15 seats to their advantage. After Tuesday’s election, they appear poised to lose all but two of them. “It was definitely the wrong move,” an unnamed House Republican told Fox News. “One of the truisms in politics is never to overreach. We did and that was part of the reason for the backlash.”

Richard Trahant says accusers have been vindicated after Catholic church officially classifies Paul Hart as sex abuser

An attorney who was fined more than $400,000 after getting an abusive Roman Catholic priest removed as a New Orleans high school’s chaplain says it was “worth it” now that the church has officially classified the cleric as a clergy molester.

That remark from Richard Trahant came days after the archdiocese of New Orleans, having waited years, added Paul Hart on 6 November to a list of Catholic priests and deacons faced with credible claims of clergy abuse while serving in the area.

Ukraine’s Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets presented his office’s third special report on Russia’s crimes against Ukrainian children, titled Resilient, he said on Telegram on 10 November.

Moscow has long claimed it removed Ukrainian children from danger on humanitarian grounds. But children who remain under Russian occupation face other forms of coercion. Occupation authorities have detained children and opened criminal cases against them for disloyalty, and the first have already been convicted, according to Lubinets. Some end up in Russian military uniforms. For children still living under occupation, showing disloyalty to the occupation authorities can mean criminal punishment.

Parents detained, children prosecuted

Parents are detained automatically when their children refuse to sing the Russian anthem, Lubinets said at the presentation, Ukrinform reported. Detention starts with so-called conversations, which are often accompanied by torture. Families the occupation authorities consider especially disloyal face criminal cases, and so do children, he said.

“We have verified data that criminal cases were also opened against children who showed particular dislike, so to speak, of the occupation authorities. They were detained, and there are already the first cases of Ukrainian children being convicted by the Russian occupation authorities,” Lubinets added.

In his Telegram post, Lubinets described two boys from occupied territories. One, born in 2007, disappeared during the occupation and later appeared in a Russian military uniform. The other, who was 16 at the time of the occupation, ended up in a camp for Russian prisoners of war and told Lubinets he had no choice.

The cases fit a wider pattern. In September, an occupation monitor described militarization starting in kindergarten. A week later, Ukraine brought home a teenager from Kherson Oblast who was being put on Russia’s military rolls.

Russia’s count and Ukraine’s

At the start of 2022, about 1.6 million Ukrainian children in occupied territories were at risk of deportation, forced transfer, and militarization, Lubinets wrote. In 2022, several Russian sources stated that more than 744,000 Ukrainian children had been taken to Russia, he said, as Ukrinform reported. Ukraine has verified 20,651 children as cases of deportation or forced transfer. The Bring Kids Back UA initiative has returned 2,798 children so far, Lubinets wrote.

Lubinets wants everyone involved sanctioned

Every Russian involved in deporting, transferring, or militarizing Ukrainian children belongs on sanctions lists, Lubinets said, according to Ukrinform. Meanwhile, Canada sanctioned eight Russians over the deportations in September. A month later, the Netherlands began funding a UN search for the children.

Lubinets wrote that the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine confirmed his office’s 2023 finding that the so-called “evacuation” of children was unlawful. In March 2026, the Commission found that Russia’s deportation and forcible transfer of Ukrainian children amount to crimes against humanity, based on more than 1,200 cases it verified.
