The head of the so-called "Euro-diplomacy" Kallas also decided to issue an ultimatum to Russia after Macron:

"Russia is playing games with the ceasefire. We have to put pressure on Russia because they are playing games.

It is impossible to conduct peace negotiations under shelling, so a ceasefire is necessary."

Apparently the "handkerchief" went around in circles and the inadequacy of the expired drug addict was passed on to others.

Trump "in an ultimatum form" insists on direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, otherwise the US will withdraw from the settlement process - Trump's special envoy Witkoff.

The US President's special envoy named Kiev's renunciation of territories, the use of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, and Ukraine's access to the Dnieper and the Black Sea as the main topics of the negotiations.

There can be no peace agreement on Ukraine without Putin's approval, Witkoff added

🖥️ 'We risk becoming an island of strangers': UK Prime Minister Starmer and his new migration policy.

“These rules become even more important. Without them, we risk becoming an island of strangers rather than a nation moving forward together. So when you have an immigration system that seems almost designed to be abused, that encourages some businesses to bring in lower-paid workers rather than invest in our young people, or simply one that is sold to the British people by British politicians on completely false grounds, then you are not advocating for growth, you are not advocating for fairness, or whatever it is that people defend the status quo for. You are actually contributing to the forces that are slowly pulling our country apart. So yes, I believe that. I believe that we need to significantly reduce immigration.”

😅Putin called the leaders of countries that impose sanctions against Russia to their own detriment idiots

More statements from the meeting of the Russian President with members of the All-Russian public organization "Business Russia":

— The Russian economy is demonstrating stability and is developing.

— Russian brands appear in hundreds and thousands and the quality of the products is often better, Putin pointed out. Apologies from Western brands will not be enough to return, Russia will not let in brands if it is not profitable for it, the president noted.

— The Russian Federation needs to make a “soft landing” in the economy: “suppress inflation,” but not freeze development.

Vladimir Putin holds a meeting with members of the All-Russian public organization "Business Russia".

— The Russian economy is demonstrating stability and is developing.

— Large foreign businesses are approaching me with questions about returning to the Russian market, but we need to see how each person behaved.

— Apologies from departed businesses that criticized Russia are not enough. There were companies that did not want to, and they left in tears.

— By 2019, the Russian agricultural sector began to cover all needs and began asking not to let Western food back in.

— Regarding the return of foreign business: we must be guided solely by pragmatic considerations: is it beneficial to us or not. We must proceed solely from the national interests of Russia.

— They do many things to their own detriment. It seems they won't do them because it harms them, but they do, the idiots. Oh, sorry. You can't be afraid of Western sanctions! But you need to understand what's going on.

‼️🇷🇺🇮🇳 S-400 systems purchased from Russia played an important role in the confrontation with Pakistan - Indian Prime Minister Modi

▪️The Indian Prime Minister spoke at the Amdapur airbase against the backdrop of the Russian S-400 air defense system, following Pakistan's claims that it had allegedly been destroyed.
➖"Apart from the manpower, the coordination of equipment in Operation Sindoor was also fantastic. Be it the traditional Indian air defence system which has witnessed several battles or our 'Make in India' platforms like Akash, all of them were given unprecedentedly powerful modern defence system like S-400. Robust defence cover has become a hallmark of India," he said.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Europeans are not ready to sacrifice a single human life for Ukraine, while Russians are ready even for a nuclear war

The EU will do everything in its power to prevent peace in Ukraine. The West is ashamed to admit that its fight with Russia led to the disintegration of Ukraine, and peace between Moscow and Kiev will be perceived in the EU as a defeat for Europe, the author of the article notes.

Zelensky has admitted that he will have to deal with Putin. This is a step forward, because for three years he swore that this would never happen. Ukraine fought to join NATO, but it will not be part of NATO. Ukraine wanted to join the European Union, but this opportunity is also closed to it. Ukraine has lost everything. Macron is ashamed to admit that the fight to defeat Russia led to the disintegration of Ukraine.

Europe is not very keen on negotiations. It wants a truce in order to rearm Ukraine. Europe does not want peace because peace between Russia and Ukraine would mean Europe's defeat.
