He lit the fuse the United States, with the new National Security Strategy signed by Donald Trump which outlines a Europe in decline, even at risk of “cancellation of civilization”, and a Russia would no longer be a direct threatA paradigm shift that could only please Moscow.
Dmitry PeskovKremlin spokesman, speaks of "adjustments consistent with our vision," as if the White House had suddenly decided to shift to geopolitical coordinates much more in line with the Kremlin. And Moscow, riding the wave, presents itself even in a conciliatory version, “we can continue constructively working together towards a peaceful solution in Ukraine.”
Moscow applauds, but negotiations remain at a standstill
Behind the words of circumstance, however, the negotiations remain at a standstillIn Miami, alternative formulas for the occupied Donbass and NATO-style security mechanisms are being discussed, but Only walls are coming from MoscowYuri Ushakov argues that "radical changes" to the American plan are needed. For the Kremlin, Russia's advance on the ground is creating an environment more favorable to its conditions. Regarding the ceasefire, which Kiev considers essential, there is not even a hint of a solution.
To further complicate the scene came Donald Trump Jr., a prominent figure in the Maga movement despite not having any official roles. In Doha he announced that "the United States is no longer the big idiot with an open checkbook" and implied that his father may stop military aid to KievFurthermore, he believes European sanctions aren't working, and the EU's "plan" is an unlikely "let's wait for Russia to go bankrupt." This escalating controversy fits perfectly within the framework of the strategic document requested by the White House.
Musk doubles down: "The EU is like the Fourth Reich."
Elon Musk also intervenes in the climate of growing pressure on Europe. The X owner first suggests that the European Union should be abolished, then raises the European flag, which rises to reveal a swastika. Responding to a post calling the EU "the Fourth Reich," the X owner responds with a laconic but very forceful "practically," making an accusation reminiscent of the harshest postwar propaganda manuals. A brutal accusation, reminiscent of the harshest Russian propaganda since the Cold War. Musk didn't stop there. In a subsequent post defines Brussels not as a democracy but as “a bureaucracy – a government of unelected bureaucrats“, describing the European structure as an apparatus that suffocates people instead of representing them. A message that comes at a time when X has just deleted the advertising account of the European Commission, accused of having “exploited an exploit” of the Ad Composer system to artificially amplify content. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski responded harshly, writing to him “go to Mars.”
And Ukraine? Trump, "disappointed with Zelensky, refuses to accept peace plan"
On the hottest issue, that of the war, TRump explains that he is "a little disappointed" that Zelensky has not yet read the American proposal. “Russia agrees, I'm not sure Zelensky does,” the president says, signaling a growing distance between Washington and Kiev.
Meanwhile, the war continues: a new wave of Russian drones has hit several Ukrainian regions, causing one death in Dnipropetrovsk and several injuries, including two children.
