Trump: Europe will give Ukraine major security guarantees — they should, it’s their neighborhood. We’ll back them up. If we get a deal and I think we will, I don’t see big problems. We’ll support it because I want the killing to stop.

1/

Q: Have you spoken to Putin since last Monday?

Trump: Every talk starts good, then a bomb hits Kyiv and I get angry. I think we’ll end this war. Putin coming to Alaska was a big statement he wants it done. Not easy for him to come.

2/

Trump: We want denuclearization — too much power. But first we must end the war. In Alaska we also talked missiles, nuclear limits, bringing China in. U.S. has the most, Russia second, China third but catching up in 5 years.

3/

Q: Why is Putin reluctant to meet Zelenskyy?

Trump: He doesn’t like him — they don’t like each other. If we had a real president, not from a fraudulent election, this war would never have happened. Putin said so. After Afghanistan’s incompetence, he saw weakness.

4/

Trump: I said Zelenskyy is the greatest salesman — better than PT Barnum. He’d visit and walk out with $50B, once even $100B. Total $350B. I secured $1T worth of rare earth for America because I wasn’t going to let our taxpayers carry it all.

5/

Trump: We don’t pay Ukraine anymore. At NATO, I changed it — wealthy countries weren’t paying. Now NATO requests missiles, we supply, NATO pays in full. They can give them to Ukraine or use them otherwise, but we deal only with NATO, not Ukraine.

6/

Trump: I don’t blame Ukraine [for asking money and getting it]. We were in for $350B. Now we make money — we sell weapons to NATO. They went from 2% to 5% because of me, now paid up with trillions. But I don’t want profit, I want the war to end and lives saved.

7/

Q: How would your ties with Russian and North Korean leaders affect diplomacy?

Trump: I have very good relations with Kim Jong-un. We had 2 summits, got along great. I know him better than almost anyone except his sister. With me there was no problem.

Russia is expanding the Russian Orthodox Church across Africa as a tool of Kremlin influence.

In less than three years, the church expanded from 4 to 34 countries, grew clergy to 270, registered 350 parishes. It’s like spiritual colonialism — Bloomberg. 1/

Russia lacks China's resources in Africa.

China is sub-Saharan Africa's biggest trade partner. Russia ranks 33rd. But Moscow uses religion, language, scholarships. More than 32K African students study at russian universities. Since 2020, scholarships to Africans tripled. 2/

Putin created a Kremlin department to coordinate Russia's interactions with nations personally selected by him. Special team to handle Africa policy.

Lavrov: “Russia plans trade missions in 15 African countries by end of 2026.” 3/

Hillary Clinton: If Trump thinks he can dominate the Western Hemisphere and give Europe to Putin, he’s mistaken — and Europeans must prove it.

If you want a just, lasting peace in Ukraine, you have to better equip them. That’s the only thing Putin understands. 1/

Clinton: One of the biggest threats we face is Trump and Putin forcing an insecure, unjust end to the war in Ukraine that favors Putin.

There is reporting about corruption among their allies and oligarchs trying to profit from the misery and death of the Ukrainian people. 2/

Clinton: The rift between Europe and the US is deep. For a year, Trump and his administration have baited and insulted European leaders, countries and civilization.

After disbelief that a close ally would act this way, Europeans are pulling together and facing the reality. 3/

“If you stop, you die”

Mykola: “It wasn’t hard to walk — it was hard to realize you may not walk out alive. There were a lot of our dead on the way”

22-year-old infantryman walks 22km under drone surveillance to reach positions near Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, Kyiv Independent 1/

The walk can take a day — or 2 weeks.

Weather and Russian drones dictate the pace. Fog helps. Clear skies kill.

The “kill zone” now stretches 30km. Vehicles can’t approach. Infantry walks through mined fields under constant aerial eyes. 2/

Pokrovsk and nearby Myrnohrad are key logistics hubs.

Russian forces have pressed from north, east, and south since late 2025, trying to cut supply routes and force Ukraine’s withdrawal.

DeepState now marks Myrnohrad as occupied. Kyiv hasn’t confirmed. 3/

Leavitt: Yesterday there was a round of trilateral talks between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine. Meaningful progress was made.

Both sides agreed to brief their leaders and continue working toward a peace deal. Another round of talks will follow. 1/

Reporter: Zelenskyy said it is not fair Trump is saying Ukraine has to make concessions and not Russia.

Leavitt: The President would say it's not fair that thousands of Ukrainians are losing their lives, and Russians too, in this deadly war. 2/

Leavitt: The President also sees this situation as unfair for the American people who were funding the war effort before President Trump stopped it.

The U.S. continues selling weapons to NATO that are sent to Ukraine. 3X

Ukraine’s former army chief Zaluzhnyi: Tensions with Zelenskyy began soon after the 2022 invasion over how to defend Ukraine.

It peaked when SBU agents raided my office. I called Yermak and warned: I will fight you. The 2023 counteroffensive dispute was especially bitter, AP. 1/

Zaluzhnyi: Dozens of SBU officers entered my Kyiv headquarters in 2022. I stopped them from searching documents and computers. I viewed the raid as intimidation.

2/

Zaluzhnyi: My 2023 plan concentrated forces into a single fist toward Zaporizhzhia and the Sea of Azov to cut Russia’s land corridor to Crimea. Political decisions dispersed the troops and diluted the strike.

Stubb: Is it in U.S. interests that Finland, with its 1,340 km Russia border, has a strong army?

That Sweden and Norway defend the Arctic? That Russia creates no spheres of influence in Europe? Yes. Right now, interests matter more than values.

1/

Stubb: Europe and America’s interests sometimes align, sometimes don’t — values are complicated.

One strand is MAGA, which sees Europe as too liberal, “killing itself with immigration,” and attacks places like London as multicultural melting pots.

2/

Stubb: The other strand is policy — America First. There’s a pecking order: 1) Western Hemisphere, 2) Pacific, 3) Europe, 4) Middle East, 5) Africa. That’s the reality we live in now.
