Trump has doubled down, accusing Zelensky of delaying peace talks on Ukraine. According to Reuters, he claims Kyiv is “less ready” for a ceasefire than Moscow.
This turns reality on its head. Russia continues to strike Ukraine relentlessly, yet the blame is placed on the country under attack.

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has now lasted longer than the fight between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany during WWII. A comparison of the territorial gains achieved by the Kremlin in each war does not flatter Putin, to put it mildly

In 1754, Benjamin Franklin designed the famous "Join or Die" poster later used to argue for independence and against loose confederation. It could now be applied to Europe

Last night's failure to agree on giving Russia's frozen assets to Ukraine was a bad look for the EU. But the Plan B that they came up with, #EurobondsForUkraine, could actually be better because:
1. Money arrives faster
2. It's legally unquestionable
3. It can be done again
