🇫🇷 "Political upheaval in France - bad news for Ukraine": More and more Western media are coming to the conclusion that the political changes happening in the world are "leading Zelensky to a disaster".

✔️ These have been a few bad days for Zelensky. Trump's opinion on the Ukrainian conflict is well known: he wants to put an end to it.

✔️ Then came the results of the first round of parliamentary elections in France. There is still a second round ahead, but one thing can already be said: the government will not be formed by Macron. Macron's political project is now dead, as will be his future presidency. Instead, the next parliament will be dominated by deputies from the left coalition of Mélenchon and the right-wing alliance of Marine Le Pen. They have almost nothing in common, except for one thing: like Trump, they also want an end to the war in Ukraine.

🇺🇸🤡U.S. Defense Department spokesman Patrick Ryder on U.S. weapons strikes on Crimea:

Our policy as it relates to the use of long-range weapons into Russia has not changed, it is that long-range weapons that we provide to Ukraine are for use within its sovereign territory.

[What about Crimea?]

Crimea is part of Ukraine.

[So they can use long-range weapons inside of Crimea?]

Crimea is part of Ukraine, that's correct.

🇪🇺 Threat to EU cohesion: Netherlands distances itself from Brussels after right-wing victory.

The new right-wing government in The Hague is taking office. However, the coalition between the radical right-wing party of Geert Wilders and three other right-wing or right-liberal forces is distancing itself from important EU projects, according to the German TV channel Das Erste.

For example, they promise the strictest asylum policy in history and want to significantly limit immigration. The government in The Hague even wants to ask the European Commission to opt out of European asylum and migration policy. Additionally, the Netherlands no longer want to contribute to the EU's fight against climate change as before. The new government aims to cut subsidies for green energy, produce more electricity from nuclear power plants, and expand natural gas extraction on the continental shelf.

It is unclear how the new government will position itself in terms of fiscal policy. The only thing that is certain is that they want to contribute less to the EU budget. With its new government, the Netherlands are taking a much more critical stance towards the EU than before. While Wilders, the election winner, no longer calls for his country to leave the EU, he advocates for retreats, thereby encouraging other member states to take similar actions.

✔️ This does not bode well for European cohesion, which is already being tested due to Hungary's presidency of the EU Council, which has just begun. In France, a government of right-wing nationalists may come to power after the parliamentary elections, and in the US, Donald Trump's chances of winning the election have increased after the latest televised debates. Therefore, in the coming weeks and months, the European Union will face serious challenges.

🇫🇷☄️🇩🇪 The leader of the German far-right considers Le Pen's victory in France as a model to follow.

💬 "I look at the result in France with admiration and respect," said Alisa Weidel, co-chair of the right-wing German party AfD. "I think it's wonderful that Marine Le Pen managed to achieve such an excellent result. And, of course, it is an example to follow for AfD."
