The special envoy of the American President Donald Trump in Ukraine has stated that a deal to end the war in Ukraine is “very close” and now depends on resolving two main issues: the future of the Donbas region in Ukraine and the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhia, reports Reuters. Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, after eight years of fighting between Russian-backed separatists and Ukrainian troops in Donbas, a region made up of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The war in Ukraine is the bloodiest European conflict since World War II and has triggered the biggest confrontation between Russia…
Russia has welcomed the new United States National Security Strategy, presented by the Trump administration last week, describing the 33-page document as largely “consistent” with its own objectives. The strategy, which suggests that Europe is facing a risk of “civilizational erasure,” does not identify Russia as a direct threat to the U.S. Among the priorities stated are combating foreign influences, stopping mass migration, and rejecting policies attributed to the European Union, perceived as forms of “censorship.” Some European officials and analysts have criticized the document, questioning the emphasis on freedom of speech and noting similarities with Moscow’s rhetoric. “The adjustments…
The Trump administration has cemented its profound contempt for European elites through a new tough national security strategy, launched in recent days, positioning the continent at a crucial “strategic crossroads” and signaling a potential withdrawal of the US from its role as guarantor of security in Europe, after World War II, writes The New York Times. President Trump has never been the type to change his mind about Europe, calling his allies “parasites” who pay too little for defense and denouncing the EU as an organization “designed to harm the United States”. Now, this rhetoric has become official policy. The…
The killing of a military recruiter in Lvov, the largest and most important city in western Ukraine, has intensified criticism of the Ukrainian government for its lack of leadership in managing mobilization, a vital process for defense against Russia, but increasingly affected by abuses and lack of adequate legal tools, writes EFE. Yuri Bondarenko, 37, who was part of a patrol tasked with checking military documents and mobilizing men who did not benefit from exemptions, was fatally stabbed on Thursday by a 30-year-old man during a routine check, reports Agerpres. “I am incredibly ashamed that the state, which has burdened…
The Polish Foreign Minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, gave a sharp response to Elon Musk after the billionaire stated that the European Union “should be abolished”. “Go to Mars!”, Sikorski told Musk on Sunday. “Go to Mars, there’s no censorship of the Nazi salute there”, Sikorski wrote to Musk on Twitter, in response to the billionaire’s initial message. Sikorski was alluding to the fact that Musk has been accused of making the Nazi salute during Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony at the beginning of the year. The sharp retort from the Polish official comes after Elon Musk, upset that he was fined 120…
Donald Trump Jr. stated on Sunday, at the Doha Forum, that his father might step away from the peace negotiations in Ukraine, arguing that the issue is not a priority for Americans and that Europe needs a better plan, according to Sky News. At the Doha Forum 2025, Donald Trump Jr. addressed topics such as the recent diplomatic efforts of the US administration around the world. Asked if he believes the US president will step away from Ukraine, Trump’s son replied: “I think so, what’s good about my father and what’s unique about him is that you don’t know what…
Several German Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets took off on Thursday from the Nörvenich air base, near Köln, heading towards the Polish air base in Malbork, southeast of Gdansk, to strengthen NATO’s eastern flank, according to Agerpres. The German air forces have stated that the relocation is a response to the most recent violations by Russia of NATO’s airspace in the Baltic region, in addition to kamikaze drone incursions. The German Minister of Defense, Boris Pistorius, announced the displacement in mid-October. This is planned to last until March. “With this mission, our troops make a valuable contribution to the protection of…
Even in the midst of negotiating an armistice with Kiev, Vladimir Putin persists in his strategy of “russification” of the occupied territories. With the announcement of the conquest of Pokrovsk, Putin, dressed in military uniform, has set out to transform the Ukrainians in Donbass into “true Russians” over the next ten years. The term appears in the new “National State Political Strategy”, writes Avvenire, a document signed by Putin, in which he entrusts the occupied administrations to loyalists, spies, and criminals, disguising them as promoters of a “homogeneous” identity and territorial integration. At the heart of the plan is the…
Never in the recent history of the United States has there been such a pronounced rupture between the position of a president and public opinion on a major foreign policy issue. Americans do not want military involvement in other conflicts, and Trump says the same. However, the differences arise where it matters most: in how each sees the end of the war in Ukraine and its long-term consequences, writes The Hill. For Trump, the war seems just another crisis in which he can play the role of the providential negotiator. A “humanitarian” halt to hostilities, regardless of the costs to…
Political science professor at Loughborough University in London and expert on Russian affairs, Cristian Nițoiu explains, in an interview for “Adevărul”, why the risk of a confrontation between NATO and Russia is increasing day by day and what the most plausible scenarios of a military intervention in Ukraine would be. Between promises of peace and the specter of war, hope is receding and diplomacy is proving powerless in the face of pragmatic transactions. Tensions between Ukraine’s European allies and Russia are reaching new heights, and the risk of escalation is increasing day by day. On Tuesday, December 2, Russian President…
