🔥 Brillain! Zelenskyy trolls Putin:
"If Kostiantynivka is really under Russian control, then Putin shouldn't have any problem meeting me there to discuss ending the war."
The Ukrainian president mocked Putin's claim that Russia had captured the city, calling it "another Russian lie."
The biggest trading partners of each country.
And the AfD wants to leave the EU and prioritize Russia.
It’s like selling your house for a rotten sandwich.
Russia has nothing to offer than misery.
‼️The US has reportedly evacuated diplomats from Kyiv after Russian warnings
According to Kaja Kallas, all European embassies continue operating in the Ukrainian capital.
“All Europeans stayed. The US left,” the EU foreign policy chief said.
I have asked that the Russian Ambassador to Belgium be summoned today.
Russia’s announcement calling on diplomatic personnel and foreign citizens to leave Kyiv ahead of planned strikes is unacceptable. Threatening embassies is not diplomacy, it is intimidation. And it is a flagrant violation of international law and the Vienna Convention.
Belgium is not going anywhere. We are staying in Kyiv. We are standing with Ukraine. And we will not be intimidated.
There is one aggressor in this war, and it is Russia. The solution to end this cycle of escalation is remarkably simple: Russia must stop its aggression and engage in genuine peace talks.

🌞 Polar day has begun in Alaska
In some parts of the state, the sun will now stay above the horizon until August 2.
Imagine trying to sleep while the sky refuses to log off.
Les Pays-Bas brûlent. Et pour la première fois de leur histoire, ils ont décroché le téléphone européen.
Cette semaine, plusieurs incendies majeurs ravagent le territoire néerlandais : environ 500 hectares partis en fumée. Les sapeurs-pompiers néerlandais sont à bout : "à la limite de leurs capacités"...
Alors ils ont activé le Mécanisme européen de protection civile. Pour la première fois.
En 24h, l'Europe a répondu :
🇩🇪 21 camions + 67 pompiers allemands
🇫🇷 Du matériel et le 1er Régiment d'Instruction et d'Intervention de la Sécurité Civile mobilisé
🇧🇪 3 camions belges déjà au feu
Quand on dit que l'Europe protège, voilà à quoi ça ressemble.
J'ai bien sûr une pensée pour les pompiers néerlandais engagés depuis plusieurs jours sans relâche, qui tiennent face aux flammes. Pour leurs collègues allemands, belges, français, européen partis en renfort, qui ont laissé leur famille pour rejoindre des camarades qu'ils ne connaissent pas.
C'est ça, l'Europe.
🚨 Rat poison found in HiPP baby food across three countries
Austrian police reported toxic substances in a jar of HiPP baby food — specifically a 190g jar of carrot and potato puree. The product was recalled from over 1,500 Spar supermarkets.
Similar jars were tested in the Czech Republic and Slovakia — preliminary results also showed the presence of poison.
HiPP confirmed to Reuters that rat poison had been detected. The company says the incident may be the result of external criminal tampering, and as a precaution, all products have been pulled from shelves.
❗️Police warn that contaminated jars may have signs such as a damaged or opened lid, a white sticker with a red circle on the bottom, and an unusual smell.
🇺🇸⚖️ Trump impeachment? This time it might actually work. The U.S. president is being pushed toward removal from office over alleged war crimes
A resolution has already been introduced in the U.S. Congress, containing as many as 13 articles of impeachment.
The authors argue that the president is subject to impeachment for “high crimes and misdemeanors” — ranging from waging an illegal war and abuse of power to usurping budget authority, pressuring the justice system, and using power for personal gain.

⚡️ The U.S. has urged its citizens in Bahrain to stay indoors
The embassy in Manama advises Americans to remain in safe places, avoid windows, and stock up on water, food, and medicine.

Iran has become a toxic ally for Russia
Arab monarchies are becoming increasingly irritated with Moscow over its stance on Iran.
Russia did not support the UN resolution on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and opposed the use of force against Tehran.
For the Gulf states, this is critical. Almost all of their exports pass through the strait, which is now effectively paralyzed. Oil shipments have already dropped by tens of percent, with losses reaching billions of dollars per day.
Additional frustration comes from reports that Russia is assisting Iran militarily — including intelligence sharing and drone technology.
Moscow denies it, but few believe these assurances. As a result, the Kremlin risks damaging relations with wealthy oil monarchies it had only recently begun to rebuild ties with.
🚨Poland is preparing for a war with Russia
