Norway’s planned delivery of at least six F-16 jets to Ukraine is facing major delays, with none transferred as of April 2026.

Even in the best-case scenario, the jets may not arrive until 2027—far later than the original 2024 timeline.

Ukraine has made antisemitism a criminal offense.

Penalties include fines or prison time up to 8 years, depending on severity.

BREAKING: Italy will suspend the automatic renewal of its defence agreement with Israel.

Zelensky:

For the first time in the war, an enemy position was captured entirely by ground robotic systems and drones - without any infantry.

A robot entered the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier and took the positions.

📸 The cover of Italy’s L’Espresso features a photo of an armed Israeli "settler" filming a distressed Palestinian woman in the West Bank, under the headline L’abuso (Abuse).

Italian PM Meloni stands up to Trump:

The statements, particularly about the Pope, were unacceptable.

I have expressed and continue to express my solidarity with the Pope.

German Chancellor Merz:

We elevate our bilateral relations with Ukraine to the level of a strategic partnership.

German Chancellor Merz:

The number of Ukrainian men who have taken refuge is something we will be working on with Ukraine to limit, because it is crucial that these men are there to help their country.

German Chancellor Merz on Hungary election results:

They didn’t just vote to get rid of one government, but rather to get rid of a regime. Since 1989, they have once again voted for freedom.

The Hungarians have chosen Europe and the world.

Impressively, there is no trend that cannot be stopped when it comes to right-wing populism and autocracy.

So the pendulum has swung back the other way, which is good news for Europe, good news for Germany, and also good news for Ukraine.

German Chancellor Merz:

We are going to step up our measures against Russia’s shadow fleet.

We will also be working together on the Middle East in order to increase defense capabilities and organize this better.

And we are working together to achieve this result.

Zelensky on drone deal with Germany:

This is going to be the largest deal of its kind in Europe.

German Chancellor Merz on Ukraine’s EU accession:

It’s not going to be second-class membership. It’s a process where we bring them closer, and there is homework that Ukraine has to do.

We have accession criteria.

There are simply not enough production capacities in Europe.

We need to ensure that Ukraine works with the EU to produce these anti-ballistic missile defense systems.

Zelensky:

We don’t want “NATO light” or “EU light.”

We want proper membership in the EU.

Hillary Clinton:

It's shocking that Trump said nobody told him that Iran might close the Strait of Hormuz.

Every war game I was ever involved in, that was the first thing we assumed Iran would do.

We're in a situation now where we are weak, where we essentially have lost the leverage and initiative that we had.

Hillary Clinton:

I know from personal experience how Netanyahu has tried to get every American president to agree to have an open-ended war with Iran.

I had many, many long, hours-long conversations with him and his war cabinet about this, and refusing to go along with a very inchoate desire to do something to Iran with no real end state that could be described sufficiently.

Mossad Director David Barnea:

Our mission will only be complete when the extremist regime in Iran is replaced.

We did not believe the mission would be finished immediately after the fighting subsided, but we did plan—indeed carefully—that our campaign would continue and be expressed even in the period following the strikes in Tehran.
