Europe Rejects U.S. Peace Framework Demanding Ukrainian Concessions

Ukraine suffered one of the worst Russian attacks in months when drones and missiles hit Ternopil.  European leaders have firmly rejected a U.S.-backed peace proposal that would require Ukraine to surrender territory and scale back its military capabilities. The plan, reportedly drafted by Washington and discussed with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has been described by European officials as tantamount to forcing Kyiv into capitulation. According to reports, the framework envisions Ukraine giving up land to Russia and partially disarming its armed forces. This approach has sparked alarm across Europe, where officials insist that any peace plan must respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and involve both Kyiv and European partners in negotiations. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas emphasized that “for any plan to work, it needs Ukrainians and Europeans on board,” underscoring the bloc’s position that decisions about Ukraine’s future cannot be made without its direct involvement.

Judge Rebukes Trump’s Lawyer for ‘Losing All Credibility’ in Hush Money Trial”

 

    

In a dramatic courtroom exchange, Judge Juan Merchan admonished former President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Todd Blanche, for what he deemed a lack of credibility during the ongoing criminal trial related to hush money payments. The trial centers around a 2016 payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, allegedly to boost Trump’s electoral prospects.

Merchan expressed visible frustration with Blanche’s defense, stating, “You have presented nothing.” The judge further criticized Blanche’s assertion that Trump had carefully adhered to the gag order preventing him from publicly criticizing witnesses. “You’re losing all credibility with the court,” Merchan declared.

Blanche attempted to argue that Trump had not intended to violate the gag order, but Merchan remained unsatisfied. When Blanche suggested there were “two systems of justice” in the courtroom, referencing the imprisonment of Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, Merchan sharply responded, “Is that what you are saying?”

The contempt hearing intensified as Blanche defended Trump’s social media posts as mere responses to attacks, yet failed to provide clear examples. The trial continues to captivate the nation as it marks the first time a former U.S. president faces criminal charges.

Stay tuned for further developments in this historic case.
