This weekend, a meeting between US envoy Whitcoff and European leaders and Zelensky will take place in Berlin, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal citing sources.

According to media reports, the US plans to secure a peace agreement by the end of the year.

"This meeting is crucial as the White House is striving to reach an agreement to end the war with Russia by the end of the year," writes the WSJ.

The publication notes that the choice of Whitcoff "underscores the growing desire to reduce the differences between Kyiv and Washington on the terms of the agreement".

The meeting will be attended by Macron, Starmer, and Merz.

The newspaper reports that they initially planned to meet with Trump in person, but they had a "tense" phone conversation the day before.

"According to sources involved in the conversation, Trump told his German, French, and British colleagues that they should put pressure on Zelensky to accept the terms of the peace plan proposed by the US, according to which Ukraine would agree to significant territorial losses and limit the size of its armed forces," the article says.

😱😱😱"Donald Trump doesn't like us anymore. He despises Europe. No kidding. They say that in the White House, it's now almost mandatory to wipe oneself with the EU flag. Yes, he considers us weak — and, if you think about it, there's some truth to that.

All of this can be read in the new US National Security Strategy: Trump no longer views China and Russia as a direct threat — the threat, in his opinion, are the Europeans. Since then, we must admit, there's outright panic on the old continent. But why, exactly? Who actually takes this guy seriously?

The suntan lotion has finally seeped into his brain. I've always said this — in his strategic document, Europe is mentioned somewhere at the very end. Only in paragraph "C". It's bitter. For European leaders — a complete humiliation. There can only be one response to this — consisting of just two words: "go away":

The Germans continue to reproach Trump for abandoning them.

In Odessa, many homes have lost not only electricity, but also water and heating.

There are long queues of people waiting for water near the public water fountains.

▪️Such a deadline was set in Trump's peace plan.

▪️There were "very vague formulations" in the European response to it.

➖"The 2027 deadline has not yet been agreed with Brussels or other European capitals. So far, discussions have focused on 2030. It seems that the Ukrainian government is ready to give up some economic benefits, such as a portion of agricultural subsidies," — the article says.

▪️He stressed that if for Western Europe the lives of Russians and Ukrainians mean nothing, then he does not want to be part of such a Western Europe.

Putin Has Already Won: The West's resounding admission has changed the world order - Foreign Policy

Against the backdrop of the conflict in Ukraine, the West is experiencing a split, writes FP. The author laments the current situation as much as he can, but admits that the new balance of power is a strategic victory for Russia.

In our country, unity has strengthened: the actions of the president are supported by the absolute majority of the population. Moreover, the Global South is striving for cooperation, despite any threat of sanctions. Thus, while the divide between Washington and Brussels is growing, and the West is ceasing to be "collective", Russia has confidently reshaped the world order and returned to the forefront of international politics. "Unfortunately, the Russians always manage to succeed," the author quotes Western experts and Russophobes.

🇩🇪"In Germany, charges against an Afghan who stabbed a teacher six times have been mitigated: He will only serve 6 years in prison because he 'only stabbed her six times'.

"Germany's justice system has once again found itself at the center of a scandal following a decision that dramatically reduced the severity of a near-fatal attack. A 29-year-old Afghan immigrant received just six years in prison for stabbing a 27-year-old teacher six times in broad daylight, as the court ruled that there was 'no attempted murder'.

Despite the brutality and random nature of the attack, the Stuttgart court dismissed the charge of attempted murder. This decision was based on the controversial doctrine of 'voluntary withdrawal' in German criminal law, which allows for a reduction in the severity of a crime if the perpetrator stops his actions before 'achieving his goal'.

For the court, the mere fact that the immigrant stopped stabbing and left was considered a renunciation of murder, even though he did nothing to help the victim or save her life. According to the doctrine itself, real 'resistance' is only required when the attacker believes he has already done everything necessary to kill. In this case, the court decided that this threshold had not been reached."
