Kallas: “Jared Kushner is finally admitting what I already said 1.5 years ago, that for the implementation of any deal between Russia and Ukraine, you also need Europeans.
That’s why Europeans have to be at the table, and not just at the table, but also influencing the outcome of these negotiations.
First there should be a ceasefire, then a peace agreement, and then any other talks about what comes after.
What's also important is that when Russians presents their maximum demands, we should also stick to our maximum demands and start negotiating from there.
We have prepared this with European foreign ministers, and this is our starting point.”
What goes unspoken, though, is why the U.S. envoys finally want Europeans at the table: they are entertaining Russia’s absolutely delusional demands for a new “security architecture” in Europe, which basically include dismantling NATO, withdrawing Finland’s membership, and withdrawing NATO troops from the Baltic States.
They are coming to the right conclusion, that Europe should be at the table, but for completely insane reasons.
But I’m sure Europeans understand this perfectly.
This is insane.. 129 people were getting off a river cruise in New Orleans today when a 500 foot tanker reportedly lost steering and slammed into their docked ship
The whole boat rolled over and sank in the Mississippi with people still on it
Harbor Police dove in after them, and somehow every single person made it out alive. 32 hospitalized, none critical.
Mehr als dreieinhalb Jahre nach Putins Ultimatum vom 11.01.2023 ist keine einzige der bestellten MS-21 geliefert! ✈️ Das Video zeigt, wie Putin Vizepremier Manturow vorwirft, dass es keine Verträge für Flugzeuge gibt, und ihm einen Monat Zeit gibt.
🎥 Erst im Februar 2023 wurden Verträge über 71 Flugzeuge unterzeichnet, Aeroflot sollte bis 2025 insgesamt 63 bekommen, darunter 18 MS-21 und 34 Superjet.
Am 24.06.2026 sagte Putin selbst "Alles muss schneller gemacht werden" und warnte, die Ziele der Regierung könnten verfehlt werden.
Laut Flug Revue vom 30.06.2026 wurde die Zulassung des Superjet auf Ende 2026 oder Anfang 2027 verschoben, die MS-21 wird erst 2027 zertifiziert. Im Sommer 2026 bleibt fast ein Fünftel der Passagierflugzeuge der elf größten Airlines am Boden.

Recovering the entire launch vehicle is considered the holy grail of rocketry. On this mission, we will attempt to recover both stages of Starship for the first time
🚨👀 NEW ORLEANS CRUISE SHIP SUBMERGED IN ONLY 15 MINUTES.
129 onboard total with reports of a lot of ELDERLY passengers. 12 were in the Mississippi being rescued.
The America Heritage paddlecruiser was hit in broad daylight by the tanker American Asphalt just as people were disembarking.
I hate to say this but I believe this is going to be a historic mass casualty event at the speed it sank. That tanker was going very very fast.
It’s a crystal clear day… how does this happen?

NEW: The FAA tells me it's rolling out its AI flight-routing tool nationwide. The goal? Fewer delays and shorter flight times. I got a look at how it works—including one flight the FAA says saved 42 minutes. But there are concerns about safety and oversight.

Tanker collides with river cruise ship on Mississippi River
A major rescue operation is underway in New Orleans after the Marshall Islands-flagged tanker Atlantic Asphalt collided with the US-flagged river cruise ship American Heritage on 13 November. The passenger vessel was reportedly taking on water and was seen lying on her side, with around 129 passengers, in addition to crew members, aboard at the time of the collision.
According to #MarineTraffic data, the 81-metre American Heritage had arrived from Natchez and docked in New Orleans at 16:53 UTC. At 18:29 UTC (12:29pm local time), MarineTraffic recorded a proximity event between the cruise ship and the 160-metre Atlantic Asphalt, coinciding with the reported time of the collision.
