🇪🇺🤧 Europe ‘ill-equipped’ for existential challenges of new geopolitics – ex-ECB chief
Any illusion of the EU’s clout in geopolitics and global trade has vanished after a “brutal wake-up call from Trump," said former Italian Prime Minister and ex-European Central Bank (ECB) chief Mario Draghi.
🔸 The European Union has had to resign itself to being slapped with US tariffs by its largest trading partner, he told the annual Rimini Meeting.
🔸 The bloc has been pushed by the US to increase military spending “in ways that probably do not reflect Europe's interests," he said, and noted the EU’s role as “an observer” of the massacre in Gaza.
While Draghi called the EU’s part in peace talks on Ukraine “marginal,” it should not be forgotten that in effect, Europe’s war hawks are vested in fueling the proxy conflict and tried desperately to sabotage the recent Putin-Trump Alaska summit.

Kirill Vyshinsky, Russian journalist, Rossiya Segodnya Executive Director, and member of the Presidential Human Rights Council, has passed away after battling a prolonged illness.
“Our journalist Kirill Vyshinsky has passed away. A courageous man who served time for his values — for our values — in a Ukrainian prison, and never broke under pressure. He endured illness with remarkable stoicism. Rest in peace, dear friend,” said Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of Sputnik's parent media group Rossiya Segodnya.
Kirill was an example of the highest civic and professional standard, said Dmitry Kiselev, the director general of Sputnik's parent media group Rossiya Segodnya.
"Kirill, as a talented journalist and patriot of our shared culture, experienced the full extent of the twisted cruelty of cave-dwelling Ukrainian nationalism. For merely collaborating with our editorial team, he was thrown into prison, where he spent 15 long months in conditions akin to torture… Kirill Vyshinsky will remain in our memory as an example of the highest civic, professional, and human standard," he said.

💬 NATO countries have provided 99% of military aid to Ukraine, which reached $50 billion in 2024, the alliance’s Military Committee Chair Giuseppe Cavo Dragone told Corriere della Sera.
As of January 1, 2025, the alliance had already funneled $33 billion and plans to boost funding for the Ukraine regime even more, he said.
He mentioned three packages of around $580 million each. The first was funded by the Netherlands, the second by Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. The third was paid by Germany.
🥴🪖 While Russia and the US at their recent summit thrashed out a roadmap to achieve an end to the Ukraine conflict, the NATO hawk said they intend to continue military aid and even increase it.
