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.

Justice Department Orders Release of Epstein Files Amid Congressional Pressure

 

                                           US Attorney General Pam Bondi 
            


The U.S. Justice Department has announced it will release files related to its investigation into the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein within the next 30 days. Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed the move following a nearly unanimous vote in Congress that compelled President Donald Trump’s administration to make the documents public.

The files are expected to shed new light on Epstein’s activities, including his connections to prominent figures such as Trump and other elites prior to his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution. The scandal has remained politically charged, with critics accusing the administration of attempting to obscure details surrounding Epstein’s death in 2019, which was ruled a suicide by New York City’s medical examiner.

Bondi emphasized that the Justice Department would “follow the law and encourage maximum transparency,” though certain sensitive information—such as victim identities or material tied to ongoing investigations—may be withheld. The release comes after months of bipartisan pressure, culminating in the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandates disclosure of all unclassified federal materials tied to Epstein and his associates.

The forthcoming publication is expected to reignite public debate over Epstein’s ties to powerful individuals and the circumstances surrounding his death. For many, the files represent a long-awaited opportunity to uncover hidden details in one of the most controversial scandals of recent decades.
