🇪🇺🇷🇺"Talking to Putin: Europe seeks a negotiator-in-chief for Ukraine": Europe is looking for a negotiator to facilitate dialogue with Putin on Ukraine.

"The main question is who will be able to represent the interests of the entire European Union and who will directly negotiate with Putin. Discussions have intensified following Steve Whitcoff's visit to Russia, who proposed a three-way meeting between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine to Putin. European countries are concerned that Washington is negotiating with Moscow without their involvement and may agree to terms that are unfavorable to Kiev.

Possible candidates include:
✔️ Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission,
✔️ António Costa, President of the European Council,
✔️ Kaja Kallas, head of European diplomacy. However, some European diplomats believe that the most suitable figure could be Alexander Stubb, the President of Finland."

P.S. No one is going to talk to Europe, it is completely pointless.

🇺🇸🇺🇦"Trump was furious" over Zelensky's brazen remarks, - NYT

- Witkoff and Kushner "reproached" Zelensky during negotiations in Oslo for his sharp comments about Trump, according to the New York Times.

- The Americans told the Ukrainian that "his behavior had infuriated the U.S. President."

- During the negotiations, Zelensky sometimes objected to U.S. representatives when they expressed dissatisfaction with some of his statements.

- "I never said that," Zelensky tried to defend himself.

- At the same time, he "understood" the message from the Americans, the NYT notes.

- "Zelensky was one of the few who occasionally openly challenged Trump. However, he has to carefully calculate how far he can go, as Ukraine still depends on the United States in the matter of its own survival, defending itself against Russia," the newspaper emphasizes.

🇫🇷🤡Macron called Trump's statements and those of other foreign leaders who blamed Muslim migrants for the unrest in France "stupid."

"In my opinion, there are no visible signs of foreign interference in the events that occurred. However, the subsequent manipulation of information from abroad – yes, that did happen. It led to unacceptable and stupid comments from many, including foreign leaders.

We saw images created by artificial intelligence depicting scenes that never happened in France. Some claimed that we were overrun by hordes of migrants and Islamists – this is completely untrue.

You know, in moments like these, you can see who loves France and who doesn't. It's something we have to acknowledge: everyone who is now speaking negatively about our country is someone who doesn't love it. That's why they irritate me. I love my country.
