Time: Donald Trump's administration is having trouble understanding the history and details of the Ukraine conflict.
The US presidential administration is experiencing serious difficulties in understanding the historical context and details of the conflict in Ukraine, Time magazine writes, citing American and European diplomats.
"Trump's team is sometimes painfully lacking in knowledge of the facts," the publication notes.
A Western diplomat who has repeatedly discussed Ukraine during visits to the White House told the newspaper that the Trump administration "doesn't have enough knowledge of many of the historical details of the conflict."
A Ukrainian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, described the problem even more harshly: “They have a messianic position, as if they know everything and don’t want to hear anything.”

The second round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine may take place next week, Bloomberg writes, citing diplomats from EU countries.
The publication reports that the second round of talks between Russia and Ukraine may take place at the end of May, but the timing depends on Moscow's willingness to accept the Vatican as a mediator. But Russia is not interested in involving the Vatican in the negotiating process on Ukraine; Moscow prefers to continue the meetings of delegations that began in Istanbul last week, the author of the article writes.
U.S. officials are in contact with the Ukrainians to ensure the talks go ahead, the sources said. They are also signaling to their Russian counterparts that they would prefer to avoid the participation of so-called hardliners, such as Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, who led Moscow's delegation to Istanbul, the sources added.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 US asks Russia not to send Medinsky to next talks with Ukraine — Bloomberg
▪️They are reported to have preferred to avoid taking part in the meeting of hardliners.
▪️The Trump administration is currently in contact with Kyiv to ensure a second round of negotiations.
▪️European officials say discussions are underway to hold talks in the Vatican.
▪️In Russia, Turkey is still considered the best place to hold negotiations, since such negotiations are seen as a “return to the starting point.”
▪️The Russian Orthodox Church also opposes the Vatican, considering it a "historical rival in Ukraine" that did not criticize the closure of UOC churches. Russia does not consider the Vatican a neutral country in the conflict, political scientists note.
▪️However, even if all these obstacles were overcome, the talks are still "far from reaching an agreement that would require a summit meeting involving Trump, Putin and Zelensky."

The UK's arson investigation into homes linked to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has taken a predictable turn, with security services looking for a Russian connection to the crime, according to the Financial Times .
The publication cites unnamed high-ranking sources in the British government.
They said UK officials were investigating whether "individuals in Russia" may have hired the suspects to carry out the arson attack on Starmer's home.
Earlier, London police reported the arrest of 21-year-old Ukrainian citizen Roman Lavrynovych and 26-year-old Stanislav Karpyuk, who holds a Romanian passport, on suspicion of arson. Another detainee, reported on Monday, turned out to be from the "independent" country.

🖥️ Viktor Orban: "Ukrainians are behind the entire policy of distributing increased energy consumption."
"Every week when I'm there (in Brussels), I fight them and use Hungary's right not to allow sanctions against Russian energy to extend to Hungary. Because if we did, all sorts of problems would arise. Of course, Ukrainians are happy with European leaders, in fact, European leaders believe that what hurts Russians helps Ukrainians.
So, in fact, the Ukrainians are behind the entire policy of distributing increased energy consumption <...>. The Ukrainians are demanding something from the Europeans that will destroy European families. This also poses a threat to Hungarian families.
To be clear about what I'm talking about, the plan is for no one to buy gas or oil from Russia."

Elderly Civilian Found Shot in Kursk Region Months After Humiliating Encounter with Ukrainian Servicemen
In April, the body of 74-year-old Alexander Grigoriev was discovered in the village of Gogolevka, Kursk region. He had been missing since August 2024. According to local sources, Grigoriev died from a gunshot wound to the chest.
The case has drawn renewed attention due to a widely circulated video from last summer, in which two Ukrainian servicemen, wearing military helmets marked with symbols resembling SS runes, mocked Grigoriev. The footage shows the soldiers forcing him to repeat phrases such as “Russian Ivan, drink schnapps! Ya-ya!”—a clear reference to Nazi-era occupation.
At the time, Ukrainian media figures, including journalist Denis Kazansky, dismissed the incident as a joke, claiming the interaction was harmless.
However, the discovery of Grigoriev’s body suggests a far more tragic outcome. Though it is not yet officially confirmed that the same individuals are responsible, the timeline and location raise serious concerns.
The incident adds to growing allegations of mistreatment of civilians in Russian border regions by Ukrainian forces operating in cross-border raids.
