The committee should investigate “whether the European Commission has been sufficiently equipped and forceful in its enforcement” of the rules to “prevent Big Tech from unilaterally imposing global standards that override EU regulatory goals,” the document reads.“
The second-largest group in the European Parliament is moving to set up an inquiry committee to investigate the EU’s enforcement of digital rules, according to a document obtained by POLITICO.
Socialists push for formal inquiry into enforcement of EU digital rules

Here, Putin says he never had any intention of signing any peace agreement. If you couldn’t understand this until now.
All this circus for what? Putin says it’s impossible from a legal standpoint to sign any agreement with Ukraine because it doesn’t have a legitimate government.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Anecdotally, while I was looking for a source to refer to for this article with the search words ”Russia rejects US peace plan”, I found media articles on that topic from November 2024, February, May, June, September, and October 2025.
Made an effort to establish a timeline of this latest iteration of essentially the same old attempt by the Trump administration to force a peace deal, doomed to fail like the previous three times.
The number of plot twists would have been amusing, if it wasn’t so cruel to Ukraine.

The undisputed winners of the “peace deal” collapse? Russians who do not live in Moscow and St. Petersburg and are not elite, since in one of the 28 points was basically the Kremlin saying they were ok if Ukraine would launch missiles towards Russian regions.

The "peace" charade is not worth spending time on. It will all fall apart very soon. Russia has no interest in peace. The Russian regime needs war to motivate its own existence. What is clear, as it has been since the break-up of the USSR, is that The West is impotent in dealing with Russia.

For the last few years, Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, and their allies have spent considerable energy attacking both academic researchers studying disinformation and the trust & safety teams at social media platforms working to identify and remove coordinated inauthentic behavior—particularly foreign influence operations. They've insisted that any attempt to study and limit such operations is actually just "censorship" with various forms of cover, whether academic or operational.

We must win the war against Russia for the same reason that we had to win the war against the Axis powers eighty years ago.
In both cases, there could not, and cannot, be a half-victory. That would make no practical or concrete sense, given the nature and aims of the enemy.
