Q: What would it take to force Zelenskyy and Putin to sit down together, maybe with you?

Trump: It’s going to happen, but it should have happened 3 months ago. 1/
Q: Are you closer today to secondary sanctions on Russia?

Trump: We're looking at that whole situation. It could be that we'll have to put secondary sanctions.

Q: Sooner than 50 days?

Trump: Maybe, yeah. 2/
Trump on the expiring nuclear arms reduction agreement between the U.S. and Russia in 6 months:

That's a big problem for the world when you take off nuclear restrictions.

That's not an agreement you want to expire. We're starting to work on that. 3/
Trump: Hamas pulled out of negotiating in Gaza. It was too bad. Hamas didn't really want to make a deal. I think they want to die, and it's very bad. 4/
Q: Macron said France will recognize the Palestinian state. Is it counterproductive?

Trump: What he says doesn't matter. It's not going to change anything.

He's a very good guy, I like him, but his statement doesn't carry any weight. 5/
Q: What do you think of the trade deal with the EU?

Trump: We have a 50/50 chance, maybe less, of making a deal with the EU. It'll be a deal where they have to buy down their 30% tariffs. 6/
Trump: We made a deal with Japan. Japan is putting up $550B to lower their tariffs, and they are also open for free trade with the U.S.

Maybe we get such a deal with the EU. 7/
Q: Do you think that the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity would apply to Obama?

Trump: It probably helps him a lot. He's done criminal acts, but he has immunity. 8X

Trump: I'm going to make a new deadline of 10-12 days from today for Russia.

There's no reason in waiting. I want to be generous, but we just don't see any progress being made. 1/
Trump: I’m not that interested in talking with Putin anymore.

We have nice conversations — then the next night, missiles hit towns, like that nursing home recently. People die. 2/
Trump: I got along well with Putin, despite the Russia hoax. I was tough — shut down Nord Stream, Biden reopened it. Thought we could negotiate, but now it's late.

Russia’s economy is small and struggling, despite vast land and strong military. I'm disappointed. 3/

Stubb: Only Trump can influence Putin, so U.S. leadership is key.

Ukraine is holding strong. Russia gained just 0.25% of land this year. It's a war of attrition, a stalemate, but Ukraine can hold the line if we keep arming it. 1/
Stubb: Ukraine needs financial aid. At the war’s start, it made 0 drones. Last year — 1.5M. This year — 4M.

We must also pressure Russia with sanctions. EU passed 18th package, the U.S. must act too. A weak Russian economy can force Putin to negotiate. 2/
Stubb: Russia is an imperial state by nature, driven by land grabs seen in its long history, including 30+ wars with Finland.

The war in Ukraine is a move to shatter the global order, weaken U.S. and Europe. We must not allow it. 3/

KSE Institute in FT: Russia has burned through its Soviet-era stockpiles.

Military shipments from storage sites dropped from 242,000 tons in 2022 to 119,000 tons in 2025.

The best equipment is gone. Now North Korea fills the gap.

Pavlo Shkurenko (KSE Institute): Russia sends less gear for refurbishment than repair stations can handle.

That means it’s running out. 1970s T-72s and T-80s are still fighting in Ukraine.

Even T-54s from the 1940s were spotted in combat.
2/ Image
Russia now gets over half of its explosive materials from North Korea. In 2024, 52% of such shipments came from Nakhodka, a port used by Pyongyang.

Before the war: 0. In 2024: 250,000 tons, reports KSE Institute.

Russia turned Ukraine’s occupied coast into a propaganda resort.

The Moscow Times: 250,000 tourists expected this summer in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.

The war is not mentioned. Mariupol is now pitched as Ukraine’s most popular resort.

1/ Image
The Kremlin promotes Berdiansk and Kyrylivka as “cleaner, less crowded” than Crimea.

Vice president of Russia’s Travel Agencies Alliance made the pitch.

Tours from Rostov-on-Don now cost ₽12,000 for 3 days — hotel, meals, museum, no war talk.

2/
Russian media shows smiling vloggers on Azov beaches.

One says: GPS stops working in Mariupol, but that’s not a problem.”

Another: Crystal clear beach!

A viewer replies: You can’t build happiness on someone else’s misery.

British AS90 howitzers are helping Ukraine’s 3rd Assault Brigade hold Izyum.

Barrels are firing 8 times more than they were built for, still preserve accuracy.

Ukrainians have adapted to drone warfare and are using precise strikes to stop Russians — NYT. 1/ Image
AS90 crew killed 5 Russians in trenches with 6 fast rounds, then dodged a FPV drone. Operator “Bear” said: “That’s good work, guys. Surgical.”

Another strike broke up a 30-man assault, “none of them wanted to come back,” said crew leader "Skrypa". 2/
Crew fires AS90s guns up to 8,000 rounds.

The 3rd Assault Brigade holds Izyum for over a year as other fronts retreat.

Crews say AS90 beats the Soviet Msta-S in armor, space, and recoil control. 3/
