Seventy percent of Americans are clear they support Ukraine. So to oppose Ukraine, first of all, it’s philosophically, spiritually, morally wrong.

You’ve got to stand on the right side. Ukraine’s on the right side. It’s good versus evil.

So even if the polls were 30–70 the other way, we should stay on Ukraine because they’re on the right side of this fight. Russia’s the invader.

But politically, it is 70–30. So why do we have a president dragging his feet on this? And it makes me angry.

America claims to defend human rights. They want to starve our people to death or bring about some other problems for them.

They want us to yield and surrender. This is not humane. This is the most savage thing they can do.

They are blocking the routes of medicines and goods. We are doing business and trade, but they block our money. What is the logic behind that?

They are attacking those people who have nothing to do with the war. Now they are putting sanctions on the same people.

Are they human even? I mean, why are they fighting against us? What have we done? This is a catastrophe.

Sanctions means killing the patients, means making people unemployed, means poverty, discontent and thousands of problems.

If America wants to make a war, they should do it with the military personnel.

Why are they doing it with the civilians?

Israel is not a member of the NPT and they have nuclear weapons on a great order.

So is there any international institution protesting why they have this kind of nuclear weapons?

You have witnessed what they are doing in Gaza and Lebanon.

We have no problems with the UAE. We have no problem with any of the regional countries.

We have a problem with the American bases located in these countries and from which they are attacking our country.

The UAE, the Emiratis and other countries of the region are our brothers. We have been living together for a long time and we have had trade. We have supported each other.

So this is the US which has come here and established bases, and from those bases they martyr our children, they attack our infrastructure and target our leaders, commanders and people.

In fact, the problem is that the friendly and neighboring countries should not allow enemies to utilize their soil to attack our country.

Right now we have a good relation with the UAE and we can expand it, and with other countries the same. So we would like to have sincere relations with all of them.

However, it is the US which does not want this to happen, and the reason is that they want to utilize the petroleum reservoirs of the region, and instead they are selling weapons and missiles to the regional countries in order to scare us from each other and pit us against each other.

It is exploiting the capital of the region and also destroying peace and stability.

Israel opposes an extension, arguing UNIFIL has failed to prevent Hizbollah’s military build-up.

The mission currently has more than 7,000 personnel, while efforts to establish a replacement force have stalled.

Andy Burnham must now be facing up to the idea that he will go down in history as the final prime minister of the United Kingdom.

16% approval in new Ipsos poll, worse than the Yellow Vest crisis, approaching Hollande-level rejection.

Even among his own camp's supporters, favorability dropped 19 points.

PM Lecornu also at a new low of 20%.

Top concern: purchasing power.

Macron can't run again in 2027 but the "end of reign" atmosphere is dragging everyone down with him.

Our prudence must not be mistaken for weakness. After all, you know this better than anyone, living every day so close to a country with which geography itself has willed us to coexist.

We threaten no one, but neither do we accept threats or instructions from anyone. We are ready to defend our national integrity and our sovereign rights.

Dialogue, however, I will say it again, is a choice of self-confidence and faith in international law.

We are establishing a special settlement and residence incentive of €5,000 per year, per household.

This amount is tax-free and cannot be seized, while it increases for each minor child.

There is only one condition: completion of at least one full year of residence in Kastellorizo.

The message sent by Kastellorizo has its own special significance, because its territory is also European territory.

It therefore constitutes an emblematic place from which to express our intention for a future of peace, with the doors closed to all revisionist aspirations, but with the road open to mutual respect and international legality.
