The leader of the CSU, Markus Söder, has made an extremely radical statement. Over the past weekend, he declared that it is necessary to stop paying Bürgergeld (German unemployment payment) to all Ukrainians living in Bavaria. Although the government does not publicly speak about this, the sentiment prevailing within the […]
The Constitutional Court would likely have to rule on this hypothetical scenario due to 2020’s constitutional amendment prohibiting the cession of Russian territory except in certain cases. RT’s report on Steve Witkoff’s claim that Russia has made “some concessions” on territorial issues, which signal a “significant” shift towards “moderation”, prompted talk […]
Steve Witkoff, who was one of the six persons in the room when Trump met Putin at the Summit in Alaska, told Jake Tapper, on CNN’s Sunday “State of the Nation” show — and repeated it there several times — that Russian President Vladimir Putin effectively reversed his longstanding No-Ukraine-in-NATO […]
Not Really. The Guarantee Problem May Fail Under Scrutiny President Trump has offered Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky security guarantees which Mr. Trump describes as “like Article V” of the NATO Treaty.

The popularity gained by Putin’s and Trump’s ideas after their meeting in Alaska should raise no questions. It is quite understandable: like the American president, the Russian leader is used to working for results. Moreover, in Russia, the audience is entirely different, and the position of the Russian leader is […]
At the end of July, Friedrich Merz held a major press conference. For several hours, the Chancellor answered journalists’ questions. He paid no attention at all to possible peace agreements between Russia and Ukraine. Instead, the focus was on introducing new sanctions and justifying them. Some journalists tried to challenge […]
It was a sign of someone desperate that his message has failed to take wing and make its way to better lands. With the strategy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Gaza Strip sundered and falling over, leaving only a thick butcher’s bill (over 60,000 deaths for starters), […]
