    The bus with the players of SC Poltava was stopped by the TCC and JV employees, and all the players were issued summonses. One of the players, Denis Galenkov, was detained because he was wanted.

    FC Poltava players who were on their way to the match against FC Kudrivka were detained on their way to the stadium by the military TCC and JV and taken to the recruitment center. The players were issued summonses and then released. This was reported by journalist Ihor Burbas on his YouTube channel, UNN reports.

    Details

    According to Burbas, last weekend, a bus with Poltava FC players heading to Horishni Plavni for a home game against Kudrivka was stopped by TCC and JV employees, after which the entire team was sent to the TCC.

    According to the journalist, the players of the Poltava club were issued summonses, and the Poltava football player Denis Galenkov was detained because the register showed that he was wanted.

    "Denis Galenkov was not in the application. As far as I know from my sources, he was just detained, and in the TCC he settled his affairs, as he was allegedly listed in the system as "wanted". That is why he has been absent from SC Poltava all this week, not training. Allegedly, now he should return to the training process," Burbas said.

    Musk was present during Zelensky's phone call with Trump - media

    Elon Musk was present during the 25-minute phone call between Zelenskyy and Trump. Trump promised to support Ukraine, and Musk confirmed his continued support for Starlink.

    Businessman Elon Musk was present during a telephone conversation between President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump on Wednesday, November 7. This was reported by Axios, according to UNN.

    Details

    “Donald Trump's phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday included two surprises: Elon Musk was also on the line, and Zelenskiy was somewhat reassured by what he heard from the president-elect,” the newspaper writes, citing sources.

    The conversation between Trump and Zelensky lasted about 25 minutes. Zelenskyy congratulated Trump, and the president-elect said he would support Ukraine, but did not go into details.

    “Zelenskiy felt that the conversation went well and that it did not increase his concerns about Trump's victory. It did not leave Zelensky with a sense of despair,” the source said.

    During the conversation, Musk also said that he would continue to support Ukraine with Starlink satellites.

    Recall

    President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated Donald Trump on his “historic landslide victory” in the election. During the conversation, the leaders discussed the development of bilateral cooperation and the importance of maintaining a close dialogue between the two countries.

    Will the Republicans control the US House of Representatives: what do the calculations say

    The Republicans have 212 seats against 200 for the Democrats, with 218 needed to control the House of Representatives. The final result depends on 23 districts where the vote count is still ongoing.

    While Republicans have won the White House and flipped control of the U.S. Senate, unified control for the Republican Party remains in question as votes in the House race continue to be counted, CNN reports, UNN writes.

    Details

    There are 23 more races for a seat in the House of Representatives that have not yet been predicted, CNN points out.

    According to CNN's forecast, the Democrats currently have 200 seats, and the Republicans have 212, with 218 needed to win.

    According to the BBC, Democrats remain hopeful for several races:

    • In California's 13th, 22nd, 22nd, 41st, and 45th districts, Democratic candidates hope to defeat Republican incumbents. But vote counts so far show that the Republicans will hold on, the publication writes.
    • Arizona's 1st and 6th districts are also in the fray. The first of them again shows a slight advantage of the incumbent senator, Republican David Schweikert, over the Democratic candidate Amish Shah.
    • In Maine's 2nd congressional district, incumbent Democratic Congressman Jared Golden is fighting to retain his seat against Republican Austin Theriault – and looks likely to hold it, the publication points out.
    • The story is similar in Ohio's 9th Congressional District, where the current senator, veteran Democrat Marcy Kaptur, is narrowly ahead of Derek Merrin.

    As noted, Democrats are closely monitoring five seats in California, which they consider crucial to regaining ground in the House of Representatives.

    With a number of neck-and-neck races still ongoing, the numbers are still subject to change.

    Addendum

    The Republicans will win a majority in the US Senate, a victory for a party that has not had a majority in the chamber since 2021. With the winners of several races yet to be announced, Republicans will hold at least 52 seats in the chamber.

    According to the BBC, the party that will control the US House of Representatives for the next two years has not yet been determined, but the Republicans are seeking to achieve a majority that will give them full control of the US government.

    Control of the House of Representatives, as noted, gives the party the power to initiate spending legislation and initiate impeachment proceedings against officials. Under Trump, a united Republican Party could more easily push through tax cuts and introduce border controls, the newspaper writes.

  • ‘Big-name winger’ makes decision on Man City transfer with Citizens ready to sell £100m star

    ‘Big-name winger’ makes decision on Man City transfer with Citizens ready to sell £100m star

    Man City winger Jack Grealish and Raphinha

    Barcelona winger Raphinha has made his transfer stance clear over a potential move to Man City as they look to sell Jack Grealish, according to reports.

    The Citizens only made two signings in the summer transfer window with Savinho joining from Troyes and Ilkay Gundogan rejoining from La Liga giants Barcelona.

    Man City have made a good start to the defence of their Premier League title with Pep Guardiola’s side losing their first match of the season 2-1 to Bournemouth over the weekend.

    That sees Man City two points behind Arne Slot’s Liverpool team, who are currently top of the Premier League, while the Citizens can boast the top goalscorer in the Premier League in the form of Erling Haaland, who has scored 11 goals in ten matches.

    One player who has not been contributing as much as he’d hope is Grealish with the Man City winger starting just four Premier League matches.

    Grealish played a bit-part role last term too with Guardiola calling on him from the start of matches on only ten occasions in the Premier League last campaign.

    And there have been rumours that Grealish could now be sold as Man City look to recoup some of the £100m they paid Aston Villa for the England international in 2021.

    Barcelona winger Raphinha – who has been in amazing form for the Catalan giants this term – is one player who has been linked with a replacement but former Man Utd chief scout Mick Brown, who’s still well-connected in the Premier League, is “not convinced that he would be looking to move away” from the La Liga side.

    Brown told Football Insider: “I’ve heard City could look to sign a big-name winger. They feel the squad could be strengthened in that position – that would be for next summer.

    “They’ve got Doku, Savinho, Jack Grealish and people like that – but there have been suggestions they want to add a real game-changer to their squad.

    “There’s been some talk that Raphinha could be available if Barcelona are still struggling financially. I was a big fan of his when he was at Leeds, every time I saw him play he made a difference.

    “But I was concerned that he didn’t seem to like the physicality of English football. Now he’s gone to Barcelona and he’s been fantastic for them, playing with some top players.

    “So yes, I’m sure City would be interested, but I’m not convinced that he would be looking to move away from Barcelona or back to England from what I’ve heard.

    “Especially given the form he’s put together out there, he looks like he’s become a key part of that team.”

    Cryptocurrency boom and dollar strengthening: a fintech expert explains how markets reacted to Trump's victory

    After Trump's victory in the US presidential election, financial markets showed rapid growth. Bitcoin set a record of $75,000, Tesla shares rose by 12%, and the dollar strengthened its position.

    Following Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, global financial markets responded with rapid growth, and the cryptocurrency sector has shown a significant rise. Olena Sosiedka , co-founder of Ukraine's first fintech ecosystem, Соnсоrd Fintech Solutions, shared her thoughts on this impact, including on cryptocurrencies, stock markets, and international currencies, with UNN.

    Earlier, Olena Sosiedka told UNN that the "Defiant Ones" crypto platform announced by US presidential candidate Donald Trump could lead to a number of challenges in regulating the crypto sphere, as well as volatility in the market. At the same time, it may push other countries, including Ukraine, to adopt additional laws regulating the cryptocurrency market.

    The expert also noted that statements by politicians of Trump's stature always have a significant impact on the markets. The cryptocurrency market is no exception. Therefore, Trump's announcement of the creation of a crypto platform can both strengthen confidence in cryptocurrencies and raise concerns. Political rhetoric can influence investor behavior and change the perception of cryptocurrencies in society, which in turn affects market trends.

    After it became known that Trump had won the election, markets reacted immediately.

    Positive signal for cryptocurrencies: record-breaking bitcoin

    According to the fintech expert, the support of the crypto industry by the future American president has created optimism in the market, which has attracted both private and institutional investors. In particular, many large players started buying bitcoin, which caused its value to rise and pulled other cryptocurrencies, such as ethereum and litecoin, along with it.

    "Thanks to Trump's positive attitude towards cryptocurrencies, the prices of bitcoin and other digital assets have risen sharply. Immediately after the election, bitcoin set a record, rising to $75,000, and ethereum and other altcoins also showed impressive growth. These changes can be explained by the fact that in his election campaign, Trump promised to turn the United States into a "bitcoin superpower" and ease regulatory barriers for cryptocurrencies," said Sosedka.

    In addition, according to Elena Sosedka, the US cryptocurrency market will receive additional support in the future due to the composition of the new Congress. According to the CEO of Coinbase, one of the largest crypto exchanges, this composition is "the most pro-cryptocurrency in the history of the United States." The House of Representatives and the Senate now have 219 pro-cryptocurrency candidates, and their number will continue to grow.

    "This creates new opportunities for creating a favorable regulatory environment," says Olena Sosedka.

    In addition, she said, investors predict that changes in regulatory policy could create favorable conditions for cryptocurrencies. "Investors are also expecting a shift in the focus of cryptocurrency regulation from the SEC to the more loyal Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This promise may lead to an inflow of new investments into the cryptocurrency market and further growth of its capitalization," the fintech expert summarized.

    Reaction of fundsof the marketof the market: support from tech giants and Tesla's record

    According to Olena Sosiedka, the US stock market experienced a sharp rise – stock markets gained $1.28 trillion over the day. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices rose by 2-3%, and special attention was drawn to Tesla shares, which added 12% to their value, increasing Elon Musk's wealth by $15 billion.

    "This increase is directly related to Musk's support for Donald Trump and investors' expectations for future economic policy. The growth of Tesla shares has increased Musk's personal wealth by $15 billion, bringing his total fortune to $264 billion," the fintech expert explained.

    Currency market reaction

    After it became known that Donald Trump had won the presidential election, the US dollar strengthened against major world currencies in the currency markets. According to Olena Sosiedka, this is due to the growing confidence of investors in the stability of the US economy and the expected tax changes.

    "This is due to investors' confidence in possible economic stability and the new administration's plans, which include tax cuts and support for tech companies," the fintech expert explained.

    At the same time, she pointed out that the currencies of countries such as Iran have weakened. This is due to concerns about possible changes in US foreign policy.

    "Donald Trump's victory has already led to significant changes in global financial markets. His support for the cryptocurrency sector has created additional demand for bitcoin and other digital assets, particularly from institutional investors. At the same time, Trump's victory strengthened the position of technology companies such as Tesla and led to a stronger dollar. The new administration is expected to promote the development of the crypto industry and reduce regulatory barriers, which creates positive expectations for financial markets in general," summarized Olena Sosiedka.

    The U.S. has named the conditions under which it will support negotiations between Russia and Ukraine

    The U.S. has named the conditions under which it will support negotiations between Russia and Ukraine

    The US State Department said it would support Ukraine's negotiations with Russia only if Zelenskyy decided to do so, without external pressure. Miller emphasized that Putin has not yet shown any willingness to abandon the seizure of Ukrainian territories.

    The United States will support Ukraine's negotiations with Russia only if President Volodymyr Zelenskyy decides that he wants to engage in negotiations. America or any other country should not push him to do so. This was stated at a briefing by US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller, UNN reports .

    When asked, against the backdrop of President-elect Trump's statements about resolving the “conflict” in his first 24 hours in office, whether the United States would facilitate negotiations between Russia and Ukraine to end the war in Ukraine in the last two months of the administration if both sides expressed a willingness to start negotiations, Miller replied:

    “If President Zelensky decides that he wants to enter into negotiations, of course, that is something that we will support. It has been our policy – our long-standing policy – that President Zelensky decides when it is time for negotiations. This is not something that we or any other country should push him to do. And we will support him in any process to try to ensure a just and lasting peace, but that is ultimately his decision, not ours.

    Miller noted that the US has not seen any signs from Putin that he is ready to give up his demand to continue absorbing Ukrainian territory.

    “You can just look at the statements that he keeps making – we have not seen any signs from Vladimir Putin that he is ready to give up his demand to continue absorbing Ukrainian territory. I'm sure there are negotiations that Putin will agree to if he gets everything he wants and Ukraine gets nothing that it is legally entitled to, but they are not negotiations that President Zelenskiy was interested in, and they shouldn't be,” Miller said.

    AddendumAddendum

    President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, commenting on the situation if Donald Trump, if he wins the US election, wants to simply force Ukraine to give up everything in order to reach an agreement with Russia, saidthat he does not think this is possible today.

  • Liverpool ‘get green light’ as Slot lines up £108m double January transfer swoop

    Liverpool ‘get green light’ as Slot lines up £108m double January transfer swoop

    Liverpool transfer targets Omar Marmoush and Aurelien Tchouameni

    Liverpool are looking to bring Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni and Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush to Anfield, according to reports.

    The Reds have made a brilliant start to life under Arne Slot with the Dutchman guiding Liverpool to top of the Premier League table after ten matches.

    Liverpool have won eight of those matches and boast the best defence in the Premier League with only six goals conceded.

    Slot’s side are two points clear of defending champions Manchester City and seven points clear of other leading contenders Arsenal, who sit fifth in the Premier League table, behind Nottingham Forest and Chelsea.

    And now Slot and Liverpool are keen to strengthen their squad over the next couple of transfer windows after the Dutchman couldn’t have wished for a better start to replacing Jurgen Klopp.

    Tchouameni was a target for Liverpool before he moved to Real Madrid and now the Reds are back in for the France international as his time at the Bernabeu sours.

    A report in Spain claimed on Thursday that Liverpool are ‘preparing an initial offer of 60 million euros (£50m) to try to bring him to Anfield’ and now Football Insider insists that Tchouameni is ‘considering pushing for a Real Madrid exit at the end of this season’.

    Football Insider add:

    ‘The 24-year-old is a long-term target for the Reds but they will find a January deal very difficult.

    ‘Tchouameni’s price tag remains very high and Real Madrid are unwilling to weaken their squad mid-season.

    ‘Real are preparing for a close La Liga title race with rivals Barcelona and will also face a fight to defend their Champions League crown.

    ‘However, Tchouameni is falling out of favour with club chiefs at the Santiago Bernabeu despite Toni Kroos’ retirement and he could be on the move next summer, green-lighting a potential swoop from Liverpool.

    ‘Sources say a move at the end of the 2024-25 campaign is a “realistic possibility” for Liverpool.’

    And now Spanish website Fichajes claim that Frankfurt forward Marmoush, who has contributed 13 goals and seven assists in 14 matches in all competitions, is a target for Liverpool in January.

    The Premier League side ‘are keeping a close eye on the player and have not ruled out making a significant bid to secure his signing’ and the Liverpool recruitment team ‘recognise the potential of the Egyptian striker and believe that he could bring a new dimension to the team’.

    Liverpool ‘would be willing to present an offer of around 70 million euros (£58m)’ for Marmoush as they look to add more firepower to Slot’s side.

    Premier League leaders Liverpool face Aston Villa on Saturday evening and former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson reckons the match will end in a score draw.

    Merson told Sportskeeda: “Aston Villa are on a bit of a sticky patch now after three straight defeats in all competitions. This is a big game for both clubs. I saw Brighton against Liverpool and they were actually better than Arne Slot’s men for the majority of that game. Brighton simply failed to pick the right pass, they were excellent otherwise. Ultimately, Liverpool got the three points which they always do.

    “I just don’t think Liverpool are playing well enough to get a win in this game. If they give Villa the kind of chances they gave Brighton, the likes of Jhon Duran and Ollie Watkins will punish them. Liverpool were really fortunate to come away with a win in the last game, but I doubt they’ll have that kind of luck here.

    “Villa may have conceded four goals against Tottenham, but that can happen when you play a team like Spurs. If Tottenham are in the mood, they can move the ball quickly and score goals in quick succession. So I’m not reading too much into that scoreline and I really think Villa can cause Liverpool problems in this game.

    “Although Luis Diaz netted a hat-trick in the Champions League, I believe Darwin Nunez will return to the starting line-up for this game. I didn’t think the first half against Leverkusen was great. That’s the problem for Liverpool now, they only play well in patches. They’re not firing on all cylinders or playing mind-blowing football, they are just getting the job done.

    “Curtis Jones has improved a lot. But I’m not sure if he can start ahead of Dominik Szoboszlai in this game. Both of them are good players. However, as a manager, I think you look at Jones and get the feeling that he can make more of an impact when coming off the bench. Still a top player, I don’t see any reason why he won’t be considered for an England call-up. Prediction: Liverpool 2-2 Aston Villa.”
