Donald Trump’s push to secure peace in Ukraine must not let Vladimir Putin escape accountability for war crimes committed by Russian forces, a top EU official has warned — effectively setting a new red line for any deal.
EU tells Trump: You can’t pardon Putin for war crimes in Ukraine
Any move to “wipe the slate clean” for Russia in a peace deal would be “a historic mistake of huge proportions,” the EU justice commissioner tells POLITICO.

Regrettably true. The EU needs to become a much bigger player to counteract Russia, China and Trump.
OPINION: The intense diplomatic maneuvering to end the war in Ukraine has revealed a troubling reality: Even when it comes to its own security, the EU struggles to be a central player.
Europe’s psychology of weakness
It’s time the EU ditched its failing strategy of “react, hope, repeat.”

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.
It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Pure terror bombing in other words. I knew it would happen. Russia is a barbaric country so why wouldn't it drop cluster ammunition against civilians.
🤬 All three Shahed drones that attacked Vyshhorod were armed with cluster munitions, - Flash.
First, the drones dropped cluster munitions over the city, then hit residential buildings.

The Government is delaying shovel-ready public transport projects such as Dart+ South West and Luas Finglas in order "to free up funding for more roads", the Green Party's transport spokesperson, Cllr Feljin Jose, has claimed. He said that this is a "disaster" that large new areas of housing in Dublin -- including a development of nearly 900 homes approved in Adamstown today and the major housing project at Poolbeg -- were being left without the promised transport links, forcing more people into cars on the capital's congested roads.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

DART+ South West is shelved until 2030. It has full planning approval since 2024, no judicial reviews and is ready to go but construction won't start until after 2030. A lot of housing around Adamstown and Clonburris built in anticipation of this upgrade.
