Comments via Bloomberg on the Rwandan and Democratic Republic of Congo Trump 'Peace' Deal: "Very little has changed on the ground...the paper truce...The two African presidents...could barely look at each other". In Nobel Prize la-la land.

"ECB refuses to provide backstop for $163 billion Ukraine loan, FT reports" - usual Euro leadership S Show. Instead of managing what is essentially a techinical ECB issue in a discreet way, it's comes blasting out as a major headline. And Putin laughs all the way to the peace talks. Pathetic!

It's the height of irony Zelensky's chief of staff Yermak is forced to resign over a corruption scandal that pales in comparison to the schemes of the head of the so-called Free World and business cronies. And as lead negotiator in the middle of the Ukraine business, sorry, peace plan.
