The US government is now using diplomats to actively stir up more anti-immigration sentiment in Europe, and turn more countries into corrupt autocracies like Orban's Hungary.

You have to wonder if Rubio is doing this for Trump, for Putin, or for both.

100,000 signatures! A milestone which means there will be a debate in Parliament.

We need a full investigation into Russian interference in our democracy, and to hold those responsible to account.

So don't stop now, keep shareing!

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform.

The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

"Could the EU's frozen-assets plan destabilise European bond markets?"

The answer is a firm "No".

As experts, including those consulted for this article, explain, the impact of this plan to support Ukraine on bond markets would be minimal.

Enough excuses, get on with it!

We would have thought this is obvious.

If Europe fails Ukraine, and Russia wins (with something like the Witkoff-Dmitriev proposal), European democracies will have to spend much more on defence in future to deter an aggressive Russia.

Appeasement of aggression just encourages further aggression.

On the anniversary of the illegitimate pro-Kremlin Georgian Prime Minister Kobakhidze announcing the halting of EU integration, tens of thousands of demonstrators are outside Georgia's parliament.

Trump’s Ukraine “peace plan” is a capitulation to Russia that would hand Putin a strategic advantage and hobble European security.

European leaders must wake up to the reality that we cannot rely on the US, and must write our own destiny.

It was not a plan but a capitulation document. It did not come together. It was a Russian document presented by some Americans as American. Be clear in your headlines. Help
people see the simple awfulness of things.
President Trump's proposal to end the war in Ukraine heavily favored Russia in its initial form and included demand that Kyiv has consistently rejected. Here's how the plan came together.

Corruption should not happen, but the fact that these investigations and resignations of senior government figures is happening in the middle of a war for survival is testament to the strength of Ukraine's civil society and the willingness of the Ukrainian people to fight for a better future.

On the use of Russian assets, he continues adding demands and inventing new excuses for not accepting

The so-called "peace deal" published last week is already revealed as a web of Russian deceit.

One of its objectives is clearly to derail the initiative to use frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine.

Europe must not fail Ukraine now.

Belgium should remember the sacrifices made for its freedom.
