Rubio:

Ending the war requires talking to putin.

Without connection between the US and Russia in 1961, the world could ended.

The U.S. can no longer solve all the world’s problems. 0/
Rubio: Putin may be a war criminal, but ending the war requires talking to him.

Dialogue is essential despite Russia’s aggression. 1/
Rubio: If there had been no connection between the US and Russia in 1961, the world could have ended during the Cuban Missile Crisis. 2/

Trump after a call with Putin:

- Ceasefire talks dropped
- No new sanctions
- NATO alliance split

NYT says he’s prioritizing Russian business ties over Ukraine’s sovereignty and Western unity.

1/ Image
Trump told Zelensky and EU leaders that Russia and Ukraine should “resolve it themselves” — backing off from earlier claims that only he and Putin could strike a deal.

2/
He also walked back threats to join EU sanctions on Russia.

Bridget Brink, former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, resigned — slamming the policy for punishing Ukraine instead of Russia.

Trump:

G7 is weaker without Russia.

After 2.5 hours with Putin, we made real progress.

I’m working with both Russia and Ukraine, but I don’t have to.

0/
Trump: The G7 used to be the G8 but they threw Russia out. It would have been a lot better if Russia was in. Because you wouldn't have this war [in Ukraine]. 1/
Trump: We tried to settle Russia–Ukraine. We spoke with President Putin for two and a half hours the day before yesterday. I think we made a lot of progress. 2/

China will dominate the world no matter what the U.S. does

NYT: The "Chinese century" is underway.

PRC now dominates global production in steel, aluminum, batteries, EVs, drones, and 5G, and is on track to produce 45% of the world’s manufacturing by 2030. 1/ Image
Beijing is making bets on advanced tech, including a new $138B fund targeting quantum computing and robotics.

Recent milestones include DeepSeek’s AI, BYD overtaking Tesla, biotech breakthroughs, a surge in industrial robot installs, Huawei’s semiconductor advances. 2/
Trump's approach is shortsighted — focused on "inconsequential skirmishes" like tariffs while eroding the foundations of U.S. power.

His policies weaken U.S. competitive edge by threatening global market access, cutting R&D funding, undermining universities, diminishing soft power. 3/

Nobody in Ukraine expects peace in 24 hours or 100 days. We have adapted to life next to Russia.

We don’t believe in “memorandums”. We prepare, survive, and fight.

Anne Applebaumʼs fantastic dispatch from Lviv. 1/ Image
At the Lviv Forum, Applebaum asked 200 journalists if Istanbul talks could bring a ceasefire.

No one raised a hand. Some laughed. Lviv mayor Andriy Sadovyi was asked the same. He answered simply: “No.” 2/
Putin’s advisor Vladimir Medinsky told Ukrainians: “We fought Sweden for 21 years. How long are you ready to fight?”

Then he mocked a delegate who lost a nephew. Russia demanded Ukraine retreat from its own land — and threatened more annexations. 3/

BBC: Trump’s calls with Putin and Zelensky set a positive tone, with Vatican as a host of peace talks. But I think it’s all Russian theatre.

I told BBC: Russia will play the dance of engaging, but it's not open to any ceasefire.

Not 30 days, not 3 days, not 1 day. 1/
BBC asked me: Did you hear any points of pressure from that phone call from the US president to Zelensky?

No, I didn't. But the message from the Russians is clear: they're willing to continue fighting for 5 years, as long as they want. 2/
BBC: Can Ukraine and Russia reach a peace deal without mediation?

Me: If Zelensky and Putin get to talk, it's already progress. They haven't spoken since 2019, when they disagreed on Minsk 2 terms.

Russia wanted limits on Ukraine’s sovereignty - Zelensky rejected it 3/
