Zelensky: “I don’t need that bullsh*t.” He rejects Russian “Peter I” history narratives — an imperial myth used to justify aggression. Kyivan Rus existed centuries before Muscovy emerged. Ukraine won’t surrender territory and says security guarantees are essential.

Le Canada et l’Europe resserrent leur alliance
Face à un ordre mondial bousculé, Ottawa et Bruxelles coopèrent davantage en matière de sécurité.
Interest in Canada in the partnership with the EU seems to be definitely growing. Here is an article in Canadian newspaper Le Devoir (from Quebec, so in French) with a few comments from me on the EU-Canada Security and Defence Partnership and what the participation in SAFE could mean:

- Trump kondigt aan dat de 'Amerikaanse overheid' $10 miljard bijdraagt aan zijn nieuwe “Board of Peace” voor wederopbouw in Gaza. Het is onduidelijk waar het geld vandaan komt, het Congres heeft er geen goedkeuring voor verleend. Trump heeft vetorecht over wat er met eventueel geld mag gebeuren.

Hungary and Slovakia demand Ukraine fix pipeline Russia bombed—or no diesel
Czech, Croatian, and Polish routes expose Budapest and Bratislava’s shrinking energy leverage.
Russia bombed Ukraine's pipeline. Hungary and Slovakia retaliated—against Ukraine.
Both halted diesel exports, demanding Kyiv fix what Moscow destroyed. Their combined share: 11% of Ukraine's supply. Poland and Greece already cover 80%. The Czech Republic offered to route oil around them.

🇫🇷 Macron: I do believe in free speech. Free speech means I will listen to you, you will listen to me, and we are in an equal relationship.
A lot of people defending free speech do it based on algorithms without any transparency, with a lot of bias, and political agenda. It's not free speech.

Dear America,
This is what you do. No matter the rank, hierarchy, wealth, influence, history…the law is the law, you apply it without fear or favour. What you don’t do is turn away, bribe, flatter and ignore.
