Thinking of Paraskeviya tonight, who is seeing Mariupol’s #Azovstal steel plant being battered and decimated by Russian forces, while her daughter is still inside. Her story of love and loss—with ⁦@MaddieAraujo⁩ & Alessandro Gentile. #Mariupol https://t.co/ORHEGwWeg5

My take: Putin gave up nothing by releasing a 74-year-old American held as a pawn for this type of moment. Putin is not a humanitarian, despite how Mr Witkoff addressed him. And whereas President Trump says he gave up nothing for Stephen Hubbard's release, you will hear all the experts correctly say that he did: busting his own sanctions for a diesel deal with Putin that could put $4 billion into his war chest; inviting Putin to the G20; and dumping Putin's victim, Ukraine, face down in the mud, as it tries to defend its sovereignty and its freedom. You’ve heard the historians call all this appeasement, going against America's own democratic values.

In a defiant interview with the FT, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Donald Trump had an instinctive affinity for autocrats and the super-wealthy. The Ukrainian president explained his views on the relationship between the US and Russian heads of state https://t.co/LydswPxdYG

[EU in Albania @EUinAlbania]

We express concern on the violent escalation at the protest in Tirana.

Freedom of assembly and expression are fundamental rights and core European values. They should be respected and exercised peacefully.

We take note of the allegations of excessive violence by the police against protestors and journalists.

We expect police action to be proportionate and respect fundamental rights and expect these cases to be investigated as a matter of priority.
⁠
We encourage all sides to de-escalate the tension.

Constructive dialogue between all stakeholders is the only way forward.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Italian PM Meloni on the Russian diesel deal:

The outcome of this decision is doubtful, while the risks are clear: legitimizing Moscow while its bombs continue to fall on Ukrainian cities, financing its war, and weakening sanctions.

These elements contradict what Western countries, including the United States, have done so far to push Putin to the negotiating table.

[Connect the World @CNNConnect]

The Houthis have just hit Saudi Arabia hard -- Saturday's airport attack the deadliest in over a decade. But will the U.S. step in to defend Riyadh? @IsaCNN puts the question to @jasmineelgamal:

Questioned about the ProPublica reporting on a Russian oligarch paying for parts of Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding celebration, Todd Blanche says: "The president doesn't know who this person is. I think other members of the family don't know who this person is. The president's son said he is a very close friend....I don't know who this person is, either."

[auonsson @auonsson]

A Russian frigate has fired flares against a Danish Air Force helicopter.

Danish min of foreign affairs calls it serious, claims Russia is taking increasingly large risks and summoned the ambassadeur. Helo ok.
